'Spray, those last two minutes were just impossible.

Jesus fuck.

I sincerely hope m2/Van has been molested because if he hasn't then he has no excuse. Just sayin'......

Did I stutter???

I'm just saying m2/Van has got to have some sort of excuse for why he's so screwed up and being molested would probably be a pretty good one.

I don't know. Would "Feeding a Rat" to Michael Nesmith's snake count?

Sin,

Van

Figured you'd like that. :D Other guy wasn't a slouch, either!

Nice. But sounds like a Jeff Beck wannabe IMO.

~takes cover~

I'll have to try that. I never heard his name before.

Mikey, compared to Jeff Beck, Govan couldn't sound much more dissimilar. He plays and sounds nothing like Beck, who's all percussive finger attacks and tremolo, with sharp, short, stacatto phrasing.

Govan's the opposite. He's much more fluid legato, and his techniques are far more varied. Their tones are wildly dissimilar, as well. Beck is all about stabbing you in the forehead with piercing upper midrange and treble, while Govan favors a much thicker, warmer and smoother tone.

Here are two instances where he does invoke Jeff Beck. In this first one, he doesn't play at all like Beck, and Beck couldn't even begin to do some of the things Govan does here, but he is playing to a Jeff Beck style backing track...



In this one, Govan does in fact try to play like a bunch of different famous guys, including their signature tones. He does Jeff Beck, at the 3:48 mark. Among the many people he does here, he flat out nails Eric Johnson, B. B. King, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Alvin Lee, EVH, Yngwie, Satch and Vai.

His Beck is pretty spot on, albeit too short. His Hendrix is way too slick for Hendrix. He has the compressed tone right, and he's got the spacey phase thing going, but Hendrix was never that slick of a player.

Dude is like a chameleon.

Good stuff.

Very nice clip. Dude is amazing.

'Spray, admit it, you just wanna tittyfuck his awesome little bass player...

You got that right, but not for the reasons you imagined.

I put up a parody thread and got inundated with youtube links.

Trots this motherfucker.

Dude, you have underwear older than her.

GG does sound different than beck.... 'cept when he decides to morph into beck, in which case, he of course, sounds more like beck than beck sounds like beck.

Was that an ugly sentence or what?

I think I said this before, but, it's like with SRV doing hendrix better than hendrix, except with GG, he's not limited. He does (fill in the blank) better than (fill in the blank) does.

I wonder if he came on this board and trolled toolio? Could he sukk harder than toolio does? I dunno. I think even GG has his limitations.
