Last night I had the pleasure of attending a clinic with Guthrie Govan and Suhr guitar/amps. I can really recommend this player. He does every style to beyond perfection with character and originality. Awesome technique. Like a cross between SRV, Scott Henderson and Steve Vai. I was blown away. I cant remember being so impressed. Please check him out on Youtube. I recommend 'Erotic Cakes' . There is a clip of him playing that at a clinic. I met him after and he was a really cool humble guy. He was launching his new Suhr signature model. Wow they make some excellent guitars and amps.
He is such a taseful player. Even when he plays fast they are really well chosen notes not just shapes. Phrasing is on another level. A real musician genius I think. I just cant imagine how a brain can work so fast when you hear the intelligence of the notes. Harmonic, melodic and Rhythmic variation. I think he is taking the guitar to new levels.
Just got my Yngwie owned strat and it has blown me away. i already have one but this is so much nicer. The guage of strings reminds me of the Picato 77s. Really heavy bottom end. It has quite a high action but very comfortable. It also seems to have some special tone control. Makes the bridge sound like a humbucker when turned anti clockwise. Really nice. Its nowhere near as bright as my malsmteen strat. A much warmer nicer sound. Definately exceeded my expectations. I intend to play this rather than keep it as a trophy. will be swapping the signed scratchplate tho.
Will be selling my YJM strat. Thinking about selling it in bits actually after seeing how much the necks go for. if it wasnt for the fact I need the funds I would have liked to have used the neck to build a black machine head style strat.
