Monster is the word that comes to mind when describing his guitar abilities. Now if only we could get him off the PRS guitars and onto the EBMM's like a couple of his fellow Guitar Techniques teachers.

He plays Suhrs now.

I cannot stop listening to this album.

the Suhr he uses on the concert dvd is excellent sounding, i was amazed at the tones he was getting. kind of a mix between a tele and a shred guitar and a strat. looks nice too. apparently he only got given the guitar a short time before the gig, like 30 mins or something.

Beth said awhile back they offered him a deal and he declined. I notice that mag still runs a pic of Guthrie with an Axis sport. I'm just glad he doesn't play Dean :eek:

Guthrie Govan is one of my favorite players along with Greg Howe. I have the dvd of his clinic at Tone Merchants, his chops are ridiculous. It seems he can play just about any style imaginable too. A virtuoso to say the least, his record will be a must have for me.

Guthrie is not just an awesome player, but a really nice guy too. He is very down-to-earth and not at all the "rock star" type - he doesn't let his monster playing get to his head. He did decline a Music Man sponsorship a few years back -- I thought it was very noble and honest of him to state that he wouldn't play the MM as often as we would like. A lot of people would have taken us up on it, just to be able to get access to product without playing our stuff exclusively, and I respect his decision completely.

That's cool to know, as he is one of those guys who I've always thought would be a fine addition to the EB family. :) He has so much in common with AL, Morse and Luke with regards to playing styles that it just makes sense.

But you're right he and one of his best friends (Ron Thal) are two of the most loyal, humble, honest and positive monster players you'll ever find. At least Ron is an EB strings guy. :) No idea what Guthrie plays stringwise...

I have Guthrie's cd on order - I can't wait!
