Some more footage from Guthrie Govan’s Suhr tour of Asia with an EBS TV broadcast of “Little Wing”:

Spotted over on the Suhr Forum posted great post by by Ed:

As some of you know, Guthrie and I embarked on a clinic tour of the Far East in early-June and it was a spectacular success. Guthrie started out in India with two clinic-gigs which drew over 500 people for one and nearly 300 for the other. I then hooked up with Guthrie in Hong Kong for a clinic there in a packed little restaurant/bar. From there, it was onto Beijing and the clinic there also drew nearly 300 people, which was a pleasant surprise.

But the highlight of the tour was definitely the visit to Seoul where we did a clinic-concert one night and Guthrie did two TV show tapings that will be nationally broadcast in Korea in mid-July. Music Force, the Suhr dealer and distributor in Korea, did a tremendous job organizing and promoting the events. The clinic-concert on June 8 drew nearly 700 people, which was definitely a record for an event like this.

We are already planning another extravaganza in Seoul in October with Guthrie’s band also flying in from UK and Andy Wood joining in on the fun as special guest and second guitarist. There’ll be four TV station shows for both Guthrie and Andy as well as a concert at an even bigger venue.

Guthrie brought his Signature Set-Neck for the tour and also played the first Signature Model for ‘Ner Ner’ in Seoul. Guthrie played the OD-100 Classic Plus for the Hong Kong gig and said he really liked the amp. He used the Badger 30 through a Suhr 2×12 for the three gigs in Seoul along with the Koko Boost.

By the way, the Hong Kong vid has Guthrie playing through a Line6 POD direct to the board as they just couldn’t arrange to send a real amp and cabinet to the station and you can hear the difference…

I should have more vids and a lot of photos later from the trip, but here are some new vids from the tour for now. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Jennifer Hong at Music Force who took these vids and edited them for our viewing pleasure. Jennifer, who is the marketing manager at Music Force, really gets Guthrie, guitar music in general and guitars as she’s from a singer/musical actress/pianist background. She did an amazing job organizing the events and made the experience far beyond what Guthrie and I expected in Seoul. I’d also like to thank Andy Yang, the president of Music Force and his entire staff for making our visit to Seoul so memorable and enjoyable. Can’t wait to get back there with Guthrie’s band and Andy Wood to boot!

Steve Vai ( at Jemfest X! ) talks about his iconic signature guitar the JEM as well as showing off the new Floral 2 JEM:

Great video of Steve Vai jamming over some ideas for his recent song “The Moon and I” ( available from iTunes ) and going through some of the technical concepts behind it.

Nice to see an old Desert Yellow Jem 777 in action, dubbed “Moon” I see .

I was away on my Honeymoon when the Guthrie Govan Lick Library Webcast was aired live on May 5th so it’s great to see they have uploaded all 1 hour 38 mins of the great man doing what he does best!

Kudos to Jon from guitarnoize for tweeting this or I would have missed it!

Awesome new video from Jon Gomm playing his beautiful song ‘Topeka’ taken from his album ‘Don’t Panic‘:

One of my favourite songs from the album, Slash and Myles Kennedy performing “back From Cali’ on Lopez Tonight!:

Spotted this over on truthinshredding, great videos of Guthrie Govan playing at the Suhr Guitars and diffusion-audio.com clinic:

Rihanna performing ‘Rockstar 101′ on American Idol

Great to see Nuno on a huge show like American Idol doing what he does best.

Ironically the only ‘Rockstar’ on that stage was Nuno himself
