Could someone tell me what is so great about him? Admitedly i've only heard bits of his stuff but i haven't been impressed. I'm yet to get the album but to be honest i'm a bit reluctant to
Knowledge, ideas, control of the instrument, technique, feel etc.
Guthrie knows a lot indeed and he is mixing styles and genres very often,
perhaps that was the reason you haven't been impressed by few clips or som.
Still he is a world class guitar guru, no one can deny that
and if you really want to expand your guitar skills
at least you have to listen to the album, my opinion.
