So I finally checked out Erotic Cakes...

I too worship at the throne of Govan.

Marcus, this track is from the album, and I think it features some of the most awesome tapping licks ever conceived. (1:03 & 1:45)



I can't do them like him either, and it pisses me off! haha

yeah, hes a bit of a chameleon; can nail any guitarists style EEEEEEEEEASILY.
One of my favourites wa when hed play the simpsons theme tune tapping the bass line and then legatoing the lead with the other hand. with all the Lil bits in it.
He is UNBEFUCKINGLEIVABLE. Made the course worth while
 
Yeah, I'm not one for guitar virtuoso's because they really bore me to death with all their wanking.
But seriously...Guthrie Govan...I'll make the incredibly bold statement and say that he's every virtuoso, in one person.
 
Yeah, I definitely will check him out - can't stress enough how cold blues leaves me, but I don't doubt he's far more than just that! What do you guys think of Johnny Hiland? He was always the one I thought of when someone mentioned chameleon-like players (I guess with a more southern chicken-pickin'/bluegrass background to Guthries Brit blues rock)

Fuck yeah, THAT'S what I'm talking about - I may not like blues, but I LOVE fusion, and that was drenched in it! And those licks were absurd to be sure!
