condemned2bfree Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Wonderful to see fellow guitarists enjoy this amazing improvisation. Govan is the master. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Guthrie appears to be very down to earth too, so great player and potentially good person. These things can often be mutually exclusive. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun & Moon Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Govan is great. I really dig Tosin Abasi. Cool, fresh sound, great rhythmic approach, impressive musical vocabulary. Edited January 13, 2022 by Sun & Moon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignant Narcissist Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Wow - this sent me down a nice rabbit hole of YT vids. Hadn't heard of Govan but he reminded of a British Neal P in interviews - eloquent, well read and with amazing chops. And some of the things he's done are interesting - transcribed Shawn Lane music, recorded music fragments for samplers to use, played in the Dizzee Rascal band (a Grime rapper from the UK), played with Asia and played in Steven Wilson's band. And he namechecked Van Halen's Fair Warning at one point so that's all right with me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
