I think if earth was in a battle with an alien race, and the only way to survive was to win a guitar battle. Guthrie would save us.

[EetFuk]

the bass arrangement of the song is amazing

[kevinkraft]

At 19, I was living an aimless existence. At 19, Guthrie Govan was writing epic guitar pieces.

03:07-03:31
That is probably the most beautiful 24 seconds ever played on electric guitar. I feel healed from any mental or physical problem every time I hear it.

guthrie is such a legend, he did a guitar clinic at my music college years ago and rocked up an hour late straight from the pub carrying a 6pack of beers with him and spent most of the clinic talking to random people for over an hour about random stuff telling funny stories then realised he spent to much time talking and just shredded for close to an hour straight with the band. best.clinic.ever! he was almost rocking a band new cornford amp serial number 001 witch he left for us to play with for a few weeks

[MrDT]

As someone who finds shredding to be soulless and flashy, Guthrie Govan is an anomaly to me. He is able to play quick without sounding like a "shredder" and still play tastefully and within the song. He plays to make the tune.

[vatsiyengar]

The most complete guitarist in the world

[maxdensmore]

As a guitarist I can certify the main riff is both amazing and near impossible

[shroom]

THIS MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL!! MY GRANDSON BRANDON SENT ME THIS AND THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE IT. SO I LISTENED TO IT AND HE WAS WRONG. I DIDNT LIKE IT. I LOVED IT!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND TO MY GRANDSON BRANDON KEEP ON SENDING ME AWESOME

[Wozniaxos]

It is really dissapointing to read comments which have mostly aim to compare one guitarist with another. Except from thinking about who is better, sit, listen, take what you can from this excelent piece of music. Don't bother who is better or who is using similiar technique or sound similiar to someobody else, it is useless.

[jlowe]

I don't think people truly understand how good Guthrie Govan is. This might be the pinnacle of human being's ability on guitar.

[JakobStrand]

This main riff is so epic...props Guthrie mate!

[francisoviedo-si]

Does anyone disagree this is the greatest guitarist to have ever graced the earth!?!!

[MoonWalkerTexsRanger]

the part at 0:49 to 0:55 is pure gold. Got goosebump every times!

[alexisarcegomez]

What a beautiful master piece, it makes me feel so good, so calm.
This fragment 04:05-04:33 always shakes me.
I could literally listen to this song every single day

[TheZebzab]

Such a brilliant and inspiring song. Especially that opening riff! Message to myself: if you are watching this comment by coincidence years later, remember your love for guitar and the great inspiration this song has caused you. If you are still in a rut after all this time, never give up!

P.S. you were drunk while writing this, and in a great mood. Just putting this down for future reference!

[gcrauwels]

This is the song that made me an instant fan. I've been blessed to see him twice live since.

[zizimxD]

The harmony + melody from the intro are for sure one of the most moving compositions of all time, it's impossible to listen to that and don't just think about live at all

[arlingtonkitchens]

This album is absolutely incredible. Sounds like warm syrup being poured in your ears. A masterpiece from start to finish.

[kickenwing]

The feeling I get every time I listen to a full play through of this song with loud volume is the same feeling I get when a crazy roller coaster finally comes to an end. Pure elation, no matter how many times I listen.
