Of Guthrie Govan

In: Asia Wednesday Jan 30,2008

Even if I love hard, heavy and power, I totally fall for inspired jazz-rock or blues-rock guitar music. So, when I have seen Guthrie Govan playing, on YouTube, some chops in Robben Ford and Larry Carlton style I couldn’t say anything more than “Amazing!” and so it is. Beside his work as Asia guitar player, I couldn’t say I know him too much, so in a way he came as news to me. And what great news!

The only thing that does not match this blues-rock/jazz-rock songs is his hair…

    This dude is absolutely the BOMB!!! Shreddin’ to the blues, and not sounding like a shredder! Love it! Thanks!

    Indeed, he has a great dexterity without falling into the shredding trap. I love the way he plays.

    I owe Guthrie Govan a lot. He used to write for Guitar Techniques magazine. That magazine pretty much taught me to play.

    Thinking about GT lead me to check out their website. It’s terrible. I don’t know how they could refuse to take advantage of the web like that. Still, good news for guitar bloggers ;)

    He is good as a guitar player, I love his versatility and imagination.
    Indeed, for the website, is ugly but I guess they don’t understand the potential. Well, old manager, maybe?
