Guthrie Govan
(born December 27, 1971 in Chelmsford, Essex, England) is a guitarist known for his work with the bands Asia (2001-2006), GPS, The Young Punx and The Fellowship as well as Erotic Cakes (a vehicle for his own music). He is a noted guitar teacher through his work with the UK magazine Guitar Techniques, Guildford’s Academy of Contemporary Music and currently the Brighton Institute of Modern Music. He is also a former winner of Guitarist magazine’s „Guitarist of the Year“ competition.
Biography and Early Playing Career
Govan began playing guitar aged three, encouraged by his father but initially learning mainly by ear. At the age of nine he and his brother Seth Govan played guitar on a Thames Television program called Ace Reports. At secondary school he was exposed, via older classmates, to „shred“ guitarists of the time.
After leaving school, Govan read English at the University of Oxford, though he left after a year to pursue a career in music. Around this time (by Govan’s own estimation, 1991) he sent demos of his work to Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records. Varney was impressed and offered him a record deal; ultimately however, Govan declined. Regarding his reasons he has explained: „it was as though all I really wanted to know was that I was good enough […] I found I was getting a bit wary of the shred movement.“

Really sad about what happened to their gear... I do hope they get them back undamaged, although I wouldn't hold my breath. The best bet would be to keep an eye out for used music equipment stores around Italy and see if any of the gear turns up there. Again, best of luck to GG and band.

Guthrie Govan and Dave Kilminster are reaching out across cyber-space to help locate their gear which was stolen from their van after a recent concert in Italy. Apparently Italian police weren't much help. Please spread the word and hope that the gear can be recovered. http://www.myspace.com/guthriegovaneroticcakes/blog/545042663

I'm having such a hard time finding his music. When I look at ebay and amazon, it's like $250. When I go to his website, it's out. Does anybody know where else I can buy his music?
