I've been ploaying for over 35yrs and this makes me want to hang it up. What command and feel this guy has is incredible. He's up there with the best like(I hate rating guitarists because everyday there are more greats showing up) Mattias A. Eklundh,Greg Howe, Ron Thal, John Petrucci, Scott Henderson. Maybe only Hendrix,Beck and Lane are the only 3 who may make him panic.

Govan has the legato-smoothness of Holdsworth, the alternate picking skills of McLaughlin, the string-skipping abilities of Gilbert and as much taste as anyone can have. He is perhaps the best new guitar player of the 00's. All I need now, is a thrash/death metal album to make me get down on my knees and worship him. And he's got really cool hair. I wish my hair was curly like that.

I dont think Guthrie views playing as a contest but some of the people hes being compared to is a joke. Hendrix? Gimme a break. And petrucci doesnt belong in the same category as Guthrie, Howe, Thal or about 10-20 others I can think of. Open your ears!

Stugots221967 your right.. its a joke compering this guys to hendrix becouse they are some much better then him... you need to open your ears.. this guys had some much more amazing guitar players to be influenced by then hendrix... hendrix at his time was better... but if you bring hendrix to our time he would be a very mediocre guitar player.

Oh, I'm sorry this is an "amazing" contest. Puff your chest out for bigger and better things. Write something as great as Voodoo Chile and tell me what then?

could not agree more. 3rd Stone is a great great song played by jazz players as well as rock and is timeless.

"A better guitarist" is very flexible idea. Hendrix is better in his style of music, Guthrie owns everybody else in his type of music. Stop whining about stupid matters and concentrate in the great music these men provide.

Guthrie would be the first to say Jimi was God! he has total respect for all players and musicans. Maybe if you guys did the same rather then putting people down who your jealous of, you might get this good.
