Guthrie Govan REACTS To Ritchie Blackmore Criticizing Joe Satriani!

Guitar virtuoso Guthrie Govan has commented on Deep Purple legend Ritchie Blackmore calling Joe Satriani's playing "too polished," telling Music Radar during a recent interview:

"It amuses me that someone from that generation looks for the fastest, most technically proficient player so they can pick on him.

"And they always go for Joe Satriani: 'Leaves me cold,' etc. And he's the worst possible target because he's such a melodically aware player. Let's give Joe a break: he's a real musician, he's a real guitar player; he has a voice of his own and it’s very human.

"But it puzzles me when people have to dismiss something largely because they can't do it, especially when back in the day they would have lapped up the air of mystery around them because they could do what most other guitar players couldn't, and maybe they miss that now.
