In this work, a brief approach to his life and an analytical approach to two themes of each of them, "Orange Jam" and "Waves" by Guthrie Govan and "Happy as Larry" and "On the Highway" by Alex Hutchings . The study of the themes includes the transcription of the solos, the highlighting of some outstanding musical characteristics of each of the themes, the selection of licks present in the solos and their classification. The center of the work is in the description of the licks, which is intended to illustrate, on the one hand, the melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and technical material used by the guitarists, on the other hand, to make visible the way in which these materials are articulated and they converge in high quality creative products that, thanks to the clarity in the presentation and execution that Govan and Hutchngs perform, serve as a guide in the formative process of the new generations of electric guitarists.
