Steve Vai IMPRESSED by Guthrie Govan

SUBSCRIBE! Two amazing guitar players at their craft. I think Guthrie actually taught Steve something that night...

this is the exact moment vai wrote his ego death section in his head

[Guitaroverkill]

Bird noises. The pinnacle of guitar playing. 🎸

[aimfuldrifter]

Guthrie doesn't need approval from Vai. He's in his own league. Just shootin' it straight.

[ibanson]

Both are incomparable, they are really good. Steve is a really good composer, Guthrie is a king of improvisation.

[GarethFerguson]

It’s great and all but if Guthrie looked at me with those facial expressions on stage I’d just burst out laughing 😂

[ibanezleftyclub]

Gandalf is all like “You shall not pass!!!” To Steve during that stare down.

[ugie]

Vai was like “this guy has the answer for everything!”

[ScarredRomeo]

Vai is a monster, but Guthrie Govan is the king. No one knows more about music theory, styles, improvisation, etc., and can technically and proficiently translate that to guitar better than him. Even his name has letters that can be arranged into the word guitar.

[rockygilio]

Patiently waiting for Govan to come out with an new instrumental album

[a.m]

Guthrie's been the most versatile and complete guitar player right now for the past 15 years. No wonder Stevie puts those faces

[vethwynwetfeather]

Love me some Vai, but if you're improvising with Govan, then you're about to learn something. #GuthrieSlays

[fingas]

Govan sounded like vai in the early 90s.. he had it all down

[mrshredder]

two masters speaking to one another
i’m an yngwie and vai fanboy but govan is a whole level of awesome
not a game changer but quite possibly the best player out there

[SoupieGuitar]

This is him just legit learning that in real time, that's awesome

[kinkinmyslinky]

These 2 are the droids we’re looking for.

[HatRock]

Vai was like "WTF, I better go slowly..."

[jarfrobinksss]

Impressed by little noises anyone could do with a pick scraping/pressing the strings? I think he was just more entertained than "impressed" lol

[VladimirVladimirovich]

Guthrie’s visual eccentricity is gold.

[itwasrajesh]

many guitarists are better than Steve Vai but no one can compose music like Steve Vai, his compositions are sophisticated yet accessible and he doesn't rely on muscle memory to write songs he can actually compose songs in his head, which I think is his greatest strength as a composer

[thurmador]

Man, if Zappa had had Guthrie in his tool box…
