In which year did he win Guitarist Magazine's "Guitarist of the Year" award?

Why is this so much about Asia (band)?

I believe it was in 1993, bear in mind it was the UK edition of `Guitarist` magazine. I remember it well as the frontpage had the headline `Burger King` due to the fact he worked in McDonalds at the time he won.

[edit] more?

goddamn, why is guthrie's info so hard to find on the internet? Can anyone please expand it. Cheers! Beatallica 16:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

i've expanded the article quite a bit. theres now more biographical info, more on erotic cakes, his tuition career, a section on technique/influences/gear and references. i restructured the article obviously, but all the previous content is still intact i think, at most it's been reworded to fit. it would be good if the technique section could have something on innovations such as his tapped arpeggios, multi-finger tapping, 'outside' playing, mixing rock and jazzy sections within a piece (waves, wonderful slippery thing) etc however, it would need to be referenced properly to avoid appearing as original research. also there should be something about him playing guitar on t.v. when he was a child; again i can't find a reference, govan's own account is a bit vague. more internal links would be nice, i might finish that when i get time.
