When asked to name who they thought were the best guitarists in the world many of the GT tutors (including Dave Killminster, the other guitarist in the video) included Guthrie. Look at some of the comments by Joe Satriani, Dweezil Zappa, Richie Kotzen etc. on his Myspace site: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=102145560 (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=102145560).

("Rhode Island Shred" gives some idea of his versatility)
