Notes

Studio recording, 2006. Album: Erotic Cakes. Guthrie Govan is confirmed to have used his Suhr signature guitar and Cornford MK50H II amp for the original studio recording of 'Waves'. No evidence of live rig or later digital modelers for this era. Pedalboard was minimal, with boost and delay in the loop.

Difficulty

The riff section of 'Waves' requires advanced legato, hybrid picking, and dynamic control, with rapid string changes and complex phrasing typical of Guthrie Govan's fusion style.
