In this Guthrie Govan guitar lesson, I break down some of Guthrie's most iconic playing styles and guitar habits in a way we mere mortals can understand! I take a look at how Guthrie uses bends, slides and 1-string solos in a really interesting way, how he uses chromatic fills to create a rock sound and how arpeggios play a huge part of the Guthrie Govan guitar technique.

I've attempted to put all the combinations and guitar licks into an easy-to-follow masterclass that will help us improve our playing. If you're a fan of this modern-day guitar legend and want to learn how to play the guitar like Guthrie Govan, this is a great stepping stone into his world.
