I wish him luck; poor fellow hasn't had a shave, a haircut, or a cheeseburger in ages.

I was never quite sure about Guthrie. Other people, you know who they are. Django, you know who he is. Steve Vai, Keith Richards, Bill Frisell, you know who they are. But who is Guthrie Govan?

I think he's got a commitment problem. He plays with this and plays with that... and stays strangely faceless. It's a mistake. He truly is the wonderful slippery thing :-)

That vid seemed like jazz to me, no rock, but I didn't listen to the whole thing.

An archtop would have sounded much better, but then don't they in general?
