Beller's Music and DuBaldo Music are proud to welcome Guthrie Govan to Manchester and are thrilled that he will be leading a free guitar clinic with us.
For those of you who might not be familiar with his work, Paul Gilbert said it best: "Guthrie Govan gives shred a good name. It’s absolutely heartwarming to hear someone play super fast and have musical depth to match. What a breath of fresh air.” As if he needed more lauded praises from other guitarists, Joe Satriani has also lumped in his praises for Guthrie, “What sets Guthrie apart is that no matter what he’s doing—picking, tapping, slapping, playing legato, whatever—he mixes everything up gracefully and absolutely nails each approach. And all the while the music sounds natural.”

Govan is known for his versatility and technique, and has established himself as a superior guitar player. Typically, he likes to take influences and ideas from different instruments other than guitar, in order to broaden his scope of play and tonal ranges. Listening and watching Guthrie is like being totally immersed in liquid music; his subtle techniques weave through whichever style of music he happens to be playing.
