| Guthrie Govan |
Govan mulai bermain gitar berusia tiga, didorong oleh ayahnya tapi awalnya belajar terutama oleh telinga. At the age of nine he and his brother Seth Govan played guitar on a Thames Television programme called Ace Reports . Pada usia sembilan ia dan saudaranya Seth Govan bermain gitar di sebuah televisi Thames program bernama Ace Laporan . At secondary school he was exposed, via older classmates, to " shred " guitarists of the time. [ 1 ] Di sekolah menengah ia terbuka, melalui teman sekelas yang lebih tua, untuk " rusak gitaris "waktu itu. [1]
After leaving school, Govan read English at the University of Oxford , though he left after a year to pursue a career in music. Setelah meninggalkan sekolah, Govan membaca bahasa Inggris di Universitas Oxford , meskipun ia pergi setelah satu tahun untuk mengejar karir di musik. Around this time (by Govan's own estimation, 1991 [ 1 ] ) he sent demos of his work to Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records . Sekitar saat ini (dengan estimasi sendiri's Govan, 1991 [1] ) ia mengirim rekaman demo dari pekerjaannya untuk Mike Varney dari pecahan peluru Records . Varney was impressed and offered him a record deal; ultimately however, Govan declined. Varney terkesan dan menawarinya kontrak rekaman, namun pada akhirnya, Govan menurun. Regarding his reasons he has explained: "it was as though all I really wanted to know was that I was good enough […] I found I was getting a bit wary of the shred movement." [ 2 ] Mengenai alasan, ia telah menjelaskan: "seolah olah semua aku benar-benar ingin tahu adalah bahwa saya cukup bagus [...] ternyata aku sudah mulai sedikit waspada gerakan rusak." [2]
In 1993 he won Guitarist magazine's "Guitarist of the Year" competition with his instrumental piece Wonderful Slippery Thing (a version of which would eventually appear on his debut solo album); the demo of the track earned him a place amongst several other entrants in the live final, which he then won. Pada tahun 1993 ia memenangkan Gitaris majalah "Guitarist of the Year" persaingan dengan sepotong instrumental nya Wonderful Slippery Thing (sebuah versi yang akhirnya akan muncul pada album solo debutnya) demo trek dia mendapat tempat di antara pendatang beberapa di tinggal terakhir, yang kemudian menang. Subsequently, he submitted a sample transcription (of a Shawn Lane piece) to Guitar Techniques magazine; this earned him a job as a contributor to the magazine, ending a spell working in fast food . [ 1 ] Selanjutnya, ia mengajukan transkripsi sampel (dari Shawn Lane sepotong) untuk Teknik Guitar majalah, ini dia mendapat pekerjaan sebagai kontributor untuk majalah
