I’m just going to say it: There isn’t a guitar player alive who can touch Guthrie Govan. (And to be honest, I’m starting to wonder whether any of the dead ones can, either.)
Others have noticed, too.
Premier Guitar: “It’s hard not to bedazzled…as guitar god Guthrie Govan unleashes multi-octave, tapped arpeggios at warp speed atop head-spinning, ultra-precise, odd-meter grooves.”
Guitar World: “No mere notes-per-nanosecond noodler, Govan has musical tastes and a command of music history far more eclectic and adventurous than those of the average shred demon.”
All Out Guitar: “Combining an unparalleled technical ability with a mastery of almost all styles…he may just be the most complete guitarist out there.”
Now that I’ve properly prepared you, here’s Govan on “The Kentucky Meat Shower,” from The Aristocrats’ latest album, Tres Caballeros (featuring Bryan Beller on bass and Marco Minnemann on drums):
Now that I have your attention, spend a little time here for even more awesomeness.
