Guthrie Govan Insane Lick

[TheRealDonnie]

One of the best solos ever imo. He's using a sustainiac pickup and not an e-bow like I'd thought.

Full solo:



The Lick:

At 7:10 - WTF?!?!?

 

[Monkey Man]

It's a special solo for-sure brother, and proof that I have no business ever touching a geetar.

 

[Fret-Shredder]

Guthrie is definitely next level good.

 

[TheRealDonnie]

It almost sounds like he's doing a really quick arpeggio but also including slurs on each individual note along the way.



He as technical as anyone yet his solos are so damn lyrical to the song's mood.

Such a sick feel , I think he's using an ebow maybe?

 

[Monkey Man]

Na, it's a Sustainiac PU (in the neck position?).

Ahh kinda like a fernandes sustainer?

 

[Racerxrated]

Otherworldly. Wow.

Yeah, but better.

Easier to install.
Fits most existing cavities.
Allows normal use of PU's too, not just single coil.
Normal & Harmonic settings.
More-responsive.
Sounds better.

A buddy of mine put one in his Jem and it sounds phenomenal.

You won't regret it man.

I've done my best to ignore it after hearing my buddy's, but every now and again it pops up its head, like here, and, well, you know... ignore.
