I still feel lot of humility in Guthrie's words & attitude, maybe tip #4...

Nicely said, although I believe he spent LOTS of time with the metronome!

Thank's for sharing. This man is a god and he's so down to earth

It is indeed one like Guthrie who would definitely have to talk about tip number 4 he is indeed humble, friendly and a very, very nice man to talk to. Good addition Stephane!

Hah, you'd think that, but:
"No, I don’t have that kind of attention span – I couldn’t sit there with just a metronome for company, clicking away. Whenever I’ve found that I can’t do something, I’ve slowed it down to look at the mechanics of it and to see if there’s anything wrong with the way I’m trying play it. If there is, then I’ll work on correcting that, and then the speed thing will generally sort itself out sooner or later. Rather than the metronome ritual, what I’ve always tried to do is just play along with real music. With music you like and enjoy listening to, the chances are it’s going to be in time, so you’ve got your built in metronome there; also, real music has groove, it has a dynamic element you can respond to, it has chords you can play over. I’d always rather jam along to the radio or an album than a soulless click. Some people, I guess, enjoy that weight training/gym philosophy of punishing themselves with scale exercises, and that’s great – it’s just never appealed to me."

Guitarists would have the shortest bible in the world. 3 Commandments from the prophet guthrie govan.

I have been listening to quite a few of his videos lately. He is an amazing, humble, and intelligent teacher. Got me thinking of how incredible it would be to take music lessons from him...talk about progress

And God Guthrie said "Let there be shred and there was and he saw that it was good!!"

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Jun 28 2011, 04:46 PM

After that He said ' let there be bending' and there was bending ))))))

Posted by: Sensible Jones Jun 29 2011, 12:21 PM

And so shalt thou bend for ever more!!
