Guthrie Govan, "Fives"

January 21, 2011 You've heard of English guitarists like Clapton, Beck, and Page. Well, Guthrie Govan may just be better than all of them. The instrumental rock virtuoso—comfortable in a range of styles, from mainstream shred rock to chicken-picking country—brings his eclectic compositions and improvisational prowess to the Berklee Performance Center this month. He'll hit the stage with the Jon Finn Group, an all-Berklee-faculty power trio, on January 28. Get a preview with the latest Sounds of Berklee podcast, Govan's "Fives," from his Erotic Cakes release.
