Guthrie Rocks

Guthrie Govan is a guitar god who came to prominence thanks to the internet and youtube. He is probably the most complete living guitarist and is the most shining guitarist carrying on in the tradition of Shawn Lane (the greatest guitarist ever). Guthrie's tonality is a little more mainstream which is why I think you people with 2-digit IQs will enjoy him despite the fact that he really is a jazz guitarist - he won't beat you over the head too hard with the jazz.

Having been a musician most of my life I stopped playing to get away from making that kind of music. While self fulfilling and exciting to play, it's not really enjoyable for most people to listen to. Like extremely pretentious jazz or any other genre, prog metal whatever... The kind of music you need a fucking degree to listen to or to even understand whats going on and why it's cool.

That kind of music doesn't really make anyone but musicians happy. It's why my favorite artists/writers are becker and fagen from steely dan. They figured out a way to make fun interesting music that could be enjoyed my most. Just my preference though. Music is the ultimate subjective topic. Becker is a pretty tasty soloist if you ask me!
