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.
