GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Guthrie Govan

Posted by: Matt23 Jun 30 2008, 01:12 AM

I've never really liked fusion before, but a couple of days ago i heard "http://youtube.com/watch?v=-yPEewaalik" by Guthrie Govan. I really liked it and since then i've actually listened to and enjoyed even jazz and more fusion stuff, and lots more of Guthrie's music. I never realised listening to one guitarist could make me like more music so easily.

Does anyone have any other recomendations in the jazz/fusion style, cos i'm really starting to enjoy it.

Also what's fusion a fusion of?

I love Fives!!

Greg Howe is another good player who plays that style...

You could check Scot Henderson and some Ritchie Kotzen albums (the instrumental albums).

Maybe Frank Gambale

It's kind a hard to recommend
someone after Guthrie when it comes to Fusion,
he has it all too perfect imho!

But Greg Howe is another great example for sure.

Brett Garsed and also Mike Stern would probably fill the bill for you in addition to those already mentioned.

Cheers,
Tony
