    Guthrie Govan

    His picking technique in particular.

    For those who didn’t play guitar, if you search him in YT most of his video are of him playing to a backing track and just do an improvised performance on the spot.

    Most agreed and regards him as one of the best. You’ll find the “Jesus/God” or “Gandalf” jokes thrown because of his mastery of the instrument.

    Unfortunately (for me personally), the man is reluctant to spotlight. He is a private person and seems to didn’t enjoy interview. So a “clinic”/lesson type content by him is far and few between.

    I’ve been studying his right hand for years, and it still boggle the mind. If you watched the video I linked and watched it at like 35% speed, you can kinda see how he make decisions in the moment and it make sense, but at full speed ? WTF
