Guthrie realy is an utter master........not much else you can say.

 

[the.godfather]

I have alot of vids with him on my HD, he is pretty damn good. He is just so damn versatile too, he can play everything.

 

[evil_k666]

awesome.......

 

[bammbamm]

After watching the clips (I've seen him play before) I decided to nab his instructional books. I'm hoping he can get me out of this rutt I've been in.

Wicked, wicked player.

where can you buy one of thoses capo things that he pulls down on to the neck, so the string don't make noise when he does the tapping stuff in video clip #2?

 

[pawel]

I don't remember what he uses on those clips (those are the Tone Merchants NAMM weekend clips?), but I have seen him using a hairband before.

 

[fishhead785]

I was there for most of the TM shows that week.....hanging out with Guthrie made me want throw my guitars in the fireplace...lol

man, consider my pants crapped-went to see vai on sunday-dont want to besmirch him, but i found guthries playing more tasteful, stylish and enjoyable! holy moley that man can play!

 

[Globbits]

actually, hang on-this guys playing is pretty awesome!-this may extend in to a general question, but how do you get from modal and pentatonic noodling, which i can do with some proficiency and speed, to awesome fluid phrasing and amazing licks like his playing!? what the heck should i be learning?

+1 same thing with greg howe. i guess jason becker first introduced that to greg howe back in the "shrapnel" days

 

[Flobanez]

Saw these clips on the EJ forums a while ago and was blown away by his playing. I also heard him doing EJ's "Manhattan" -he totally nailed it.

I really want to go, it will cost me a small fortune to get there though. I went there 2 years ago and I seem to recall that I got a return ticket via National Express coaches for just over a tenner. Not it looks as if it will be around thirty quid!

Not to mention NEC's ticket prices which seem to have increased over the years.

What's the title of the album "Erotic ...." right?

André

 

[Adagio_777]

Erotic Cakes?

I think that's the name of his band though.
