Not my kind of thing at all, but he sure can play! He won UK guitarist of the year or something about 10 years or so ago....

[Chasbo]

Kind of a neat rock/jazz thing going on there. He certainly has the chops doesn't he.

I actually never heard of this guy until I watched the "guitars suck" vid in the other thread and loved the countryish madness he played there . Very talented and look forward to hearing more.

Athough an excess of tapping tends to make me yawn.

[twisterlemonade]

Quite underrated...In the sense that you don't hear about him a lot. He's awesome.

[pagemalicious]

didn't realise how good he was untill recently. Love his style and tone

[MBreinin]

I found him on a website selling amps...I watched a bunch of his vids..he is pretty damn sick!

Looks like a dirty hippie though.

[HeWhoIs]

He is awesome! Very interesting player.

[jjw]

great but needs a shaveand switch guitar brands

[Thor Von Clemson]

what kind of guitars is he using?

[MikeE]

He uses Suhr.

Why would he want to stop using one of the best guitars out there?

[heartfielder]

He should play Ibanez ... They are f%@#ing awesome, aren't they !?!

[jjw]

He uses Suhr.

Why would he want to stop using one of the best guitars out there?

best hyped..lol.so far..Suhr is giving their guitars out to greg/govan and the gang.Seems to me there is almost an elitest tude towards this brand

dont know why?as you could pick up a bog standard amercian fender strat and play just as easily and sound just as goodalso fender has a better look

i think Govan could also play a Gajick guitar made in england

there are too many gREAT guitars from manyey makers out there(jackson/esp/fender/parker/bcrich)and they all have better headstocks

[Robotechnology]

JJW, ain't going to argue the headstock thing but, most Suhr's are light years ahead of Fenders in neck feel/fretwork, and more importantly tone. Not every Suhr sounds great (I've personally played 2 including a LIMITED EDITION $3K+ one that didn't sound too hot) but, they are more consistent than most other USA manufacturers save maybe Jackson & Tom Anderson.

doesn't he write for guitar techniques here in the uk...and i think he plays for asia
