+naymyo aungkhing Mark co-leads with Myles on "Words Darker Than Their Wings", is the lead singer on "Waters Rising", and has his own band named Tremonti.
This is the problem, he could be the second best guitarist in the world.... but when you're lead guitarist is the best, you're never gonna shine lol this was an awesome gig though! Loved every minute.
They are both excellent. Tremonti is my favorite, but this right here raises Kennedy quite a few notches on my bar. You can tell he's got a lot of passion in his playing.
He truly is a fantastic guitarist. He wrote like half of the riffs on fortress and every riff on that damn album is nuts lol. But Myles went to Berklee for jazz guitar. That's where he gets a lot of his style.
Both of them are top notch players and top tier vocalists, I don't care what anyone says. And obviously they are humble enough to share the spotlight. A lot of lesser musicians aren't.
According to Tremonti, Myles concealed his guitar skills during the first AlterBridge Album because "He didn't want to step on my toes". It was after their first tour that Tremonti was amazed to find out what a good guitarist Myles was.
Mad thing about Myles is that hes basically a virtuoso at guitar.... then all of a sudden hes got one of the best singing voices in rock n roll... some guys just have it all
I love that Myles doesn't even look when he's ripping a solo, but you can tell that he feels every single note. This band has so much talent, it's absurd. I can't understand why this band isn't more famous - they are amazing
Dear Visitors, here we have a guitar playing vocalist and a singing guitar player, both in their natural habitat. Please be quiet, don't disturb them while doing their thing.
They are both awesome in their own right. But regardless of who anyone thinks is better, there is one aspect in which there is a clear winner. No comparison. Mark Tremonti by far makes the best faces. It's no contest. I'd be accused of shitting myself if I made faces like that. But this is mark Tremonti. An absolute freak of a guitar player. With the best faces in the game.
HOLY SHIT Myles Kennedy plays guitar?!?!!?!!!!?.I thought he was just a vocalist.I now know how it feels to be at the receiving end of when someone says "Have u been living under a rock"? God damn.
You can just see that these guys just enjoy being in this band together. They were both actually holding back a little because neither of them ever wants to upstage the other. Myles is a very technically skilled guitarist and can absolutely bring it if he needed to...ya just can't beat the right hand of Mark.
- I am leaving you, there is...someone else. I think i'm in love with Mark... - Wait... I thought you liked Myles? - Look, you're missing my point, man. :P
He has taken formal classes on music theory and jazz guitar theory. In his first band, Cosmic Dust, he played only lead guitar. He also used to teach guitar for awhile.
He won an american guitar competition at the age of 18 and was lead guitarist for cosmic dust, citizen swing and mayfield four before he joined AB, even then he kept his playing a secret as he didnt want to step on anyone's toes, apparently mark was walking around the hotel one night and heard all this really funky jazz coming from Myles's room, then blackbird came out and seriously rocked, dual awesome guitarist style :P
I really wish everyone would stop saying junk like "Myles has improved so much since playing with Slash" or "Myles is using the same licks that he got from Slash". Do people actually know anything about Myles Kennedy before he joined Alter Bridge? Because if they did then they would know that - IF ANYTHING - Myles's guitar abilities have gone backwards. And that's not because he's bad now or anything (he's actually very amazing), it's just that he's only very recently started doing again the things that he was doing over 20 years ago. If people listened to Myles's first 2 bands (Cosmic Dust and Citizen Swing - which were both from the early 90s) they would realise that Myles has always been this good. He had this talent way before he ever worked with Slash or Tremonti. And do you know what? Based on his work with those bands in the 90s I believe quite firmly that Myles is a better guitar player than Slash. And I love Slash! But Myles is, in my very strong opinion, on another level as a guitar player, a songwriter, and all around as a musician.
Jeffrey Quinonez He's right. Slash is a good guitarist, but he's no expert. He's simply one of the most POPULAR guitarists. The REAL greats like Steve Vai could kick his ass.
Myles is great and has a great style and knows theory and all that but the shredding solos from alter Bridge don't beat out the insanity and feeling in slashes guitar solos. Slash wrote some of the best albums in rock history. Look at basically every riff in appetite! And the solos. C'mon. Myles is great and I love him but that doesn't mean that slash didn't have something that no one else had in a time when rock was on the way out because of hair metal and MTV!!!!! Slash and GNR came on the scene with brutal freaking hard rock n roll and it was awesome. And as for feeling, might I sight November rain, patience, estranged??? Slash and Myles are both very well rounded musicians who can play crazy awesome stuff like the Paradise city solo or the isolation solo but they can also play the stuff with more feeling too. Myles is a better educated musician for sure, but slash is not overrated, and he was one of the most popular Guitarists for a reason!!!!! I think people can find ways to talk up Myles without having to talk down the lead guitarist of one of the most successful rock bands ever
I love it! Man tell me myles isn't feeling it at 3:30 And nobody cab beat the faces Tremont makes when he gets into a solo. They're both beasts in their own right and they make a hell of a team.
The fact that Myles sings with two absolute guitar Gods, I think kinda overshadows his own skills. Both Mark and Slash have said that Myles is a better player than either of them - which Myles, humbly, denies of course. All I can say is he is pretty bloody good!
Both insanely good.Mark's technical playing is superb. Myles just feels the music like noone else and that's why I prefer his solos but it's just a matter of personal taste, they're both virtuoso players.
@@knightfall9394 you need a dictionary buddy. They're amongst some of the Greatest guitar players of our time. Before you start yapping, I'm a guitarist and I'm almost certain that you don't know what you're talking about.
That must have been magnificent to experience live! They are both truly talented guitarists and Alter Bridge is one band I'm so grateful to have discovered recently
When your battling level isn't ever the issue 'cause you know your opponent. . It;s only the split-second choice which talent you will allow to lead . I truly like the teacher in everyone. Showing off reasoning is all that matters when passion is shaking our hands. Learning to enjoy what others bring us is learning to give ...

You do know that Myles is better than Mark right? Both when talking about technique or theory knowledge. Preferring one over the other is totally okay, but Myles can play stuff much more complex than Mark, including 7 finger tapping.
@@elvisjsax any half decent guitar player can play basics licks like that without looking. No disrespect to Myles, he is really good. But he's rhythm guitar for a reason
@@yourdailydoseofnegativity189 have you seen the video I posted the link to? Yes, the licks he was playing while he wasn't looking were basic, but he shredded before and after those, and even played a really awesome tapping lick afterwards.
^ This. th-cam.com/video/X13Bb772UWY/w-d-xo.html Tremonti wrote some killer hits in the 90's. But sorry fan boys. Both sides are not equal on solo guitar, Miles is just better. And that's okay.
If Myles is so much better then why is mark rated guitarist of the decade, why is mark the lead guitarist, and why does mark have is own signature guitar and signature amp
@@chancechase9131 bcs now myles focus more on vocals than in guitar. Hes a a fulltime guitarist back then and doing a crazy fast technical lick. But hes more of a vocalist now
Nug Get 7 however. i had a dream... mark whith the whole band, garret at at drums is also phenomal, whith metallica on one stage for an concert. think this,woul be very lovely !
Both are really good guitarists. They just have different styles and not one is better than the other. As Frank Zappa says - "comparing guitarists is a stupid hobby".
check out mr laiho of childrennof bodom, hes basically those attributes combined and it‘s just a pleasure to listen to his sick ass riffs and melodic thrashy solos
+Genaro Guerrero tjough i fairly enjoy both musicians, Myles has done a lot of jazz in the past. he really knows how to put down the soul feel into his music. whikeTremont is more of the crazed heavy type that can make a lot of good noise and has obviously come out with some really outstanding tunes. personally I like Myles guitar better mainly because of his former band Mayfield 4.
It's the opposite for me. Tremonti has his own recognizable style. Kennedy is extremely technical but it'd be really hard to pick him out of a blind lineup.
Damn, I love Mark Tremonti and his music, and he did really great here, but Myles - man that dude was feeling. EVERY. SINGLE. Damn note he was playing. :D :D Those bends and vibrato - awesome!
what the eff are you people arguing about? This 5 minute solo do not expose all of their range.I doubt they even try their best here. They were just having fun. I'm pretty sure that Myles would admit that Tremonti is a better guitar player ,while Tremonti will not claim to be a better singer than Myles. They both are good. But Tremonti makes his name as a guitarist,Myles as a singer. That difference makes it obvious isn't it when they are in the same band. I think it's funny that people start these comparision battle as soon as they do solos on a shared stage . I think both of them knows exactly how to play the other person's stuffs...who's more creative? As long as Alter Bridge is concerned Tremonti is the driving force when it comes to guitars,Myles just plays the complementary part.
Myles wins based on feel/soul and also his rig sounds better and much clearer. Mark is likely the flashier player, but, most of the time it's a wall of noise with poor note definition. Would love to hear them play like this in a studio environment where technical ability is easier to hear by virtue of audio clarity.
I personally believe Myles is the better guitarist because being good doesn't mean being fast. EVERYONE knows Mark Tremonti can shred. He does it quite often. Myles has a more held-back, slowhand style of playing. His lead guitar playing suggests he's got the skills without constantly throwing it in your face. Mark has even said himself that Myles is a better guitarist than he is. Even Slash has said that Myles has taught him alot about guitar playing.
Couldn't care less who's better or who they compare to... They are both incredible but for different reasons, and put together with Scott and Brian they make in my opinion the best band in the world at the moment!!! And all of those solos were absolutely mind-blowing!!!
Tuff to think of a band with 2 guitar players as good as Mark and Myles. Can't wait to see them on October 4th , 1st show for the new record WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
It's about when you're creating what is the best lyric or melody line that fits the song.when it comes down to it every body is better at what they do when it comes to creating Alrerbridge music.
kh155 Myles is good, but your comparing mostly pentatonics to Mark's much more vast range. That whole "he has no feel" b.s. is ridiculous. This was a guitar battle, "feel" isn't the point. Mark has plenty of feel on the records, but in a situation like this he's gonna go all out with his much superior technical proficiency.
Muscle memory is muscle memory. Being a professional guitar means you can look away at most stuff you play. Looking at the fretboard is just a preference.
I'm so proud and honored to live at the same time, on the same planet as AB!!! I really feel sorry for the people who never discovered AB!!! This is the definition of music, of real music!!! This is... I dont think there exist a Word on this planet earth to describe Alter Bridge!!! =.....)
Myles is an underrated guitarist,
Tremonti is an underrated singer...
mercuryfaith True.. Look at blackbird and brokenwing for Myles (2nd line) .. Look at we come to life for Tremonti (voice)
naymyo aungkhing why dont have a look at Water Rising for Marcs Vocals?:D
+Marten Gerundt Why don't have a look at Mark's solo albums for his Vocals ? ^^ (All i was and Cauterize and soon Dust) \m/ \m/
+mercuryfaith perfectly put Alter Bridge is underrated
+naymyo aungkhing Mark co-leads with Myles on "Words Darker Than Their Wings", is the lead singer on "Waters Rising", and has his own band named Tremonti.
Myles is an underrated guitarist. Doesn't get the credit he deserves because of his singing. Love these dudes both.
That's exactly what it is
Perfect!!!🙏😈🤘
This is the problem, he could be the second best guitarist in the world.... but when you're lead guitarist is the best, you're never gonna shine lol this was an awesome gig though! Loved every minute.
More intersting riffs than mark
@@Shaggy_matt rubbish English much?
Just stop to think about how Alter Bridge has two top tier front men. Just insane talent!
Something a lot of people don't know is that Myles can shred like a beast.
Just when I thought Myles had only a golden voice, he wows with me some good ol fashioned shredding.
They are both excellent. Tremonti is my favorite, but this right here raises Kennedy quite a few notches on my bar. You can tell he's got a lot of passion in his playing.

Best chemistry in music for the past 20 years.
Both of them are top notch players and top tier vocalists, I don't care what anyone says. And obviously they are humble enough to share the spotlight. A lot of lesser musicians aren't.
The obvious and undisputed winner of this battle:
The audience.
the look on Myle's face when he plays or sings always gets me, he loves it to his core.
According to Tremonti, Myles concealed his guitar skills during the first AlterBridge Album because "He didn't want to step on my toes".
It was after their first tour that Tremonti was amazed to find out what a good guitarist Myles was.

Our ears is the true winner.
Myles is so criminally underrated and he’s got to crush it singing too only person I’ve known able to do both except maybe Gary Moore
This isn’t a battle this is two amazingly talented musicians showing off.
Never get tired of watching these guys. They are both on fire! 🔥
I love that Myles doesn't even look when he's ripping a solo, but you can tell that he feels every single note. This band has so much talent, it's absurd. I can't understand why this band isn't more famous - they are amazing

welcome to earth ...
Hahahahahahahahahah.......I agree.
thats ok i didnt know that either dude and i know EVERYTHING!!!!!! lol
He was a guitar teacher too :D
Myles actually plays the solo for Isolation, which btw is bad ass!!

Myles is a very technically skilled guitarist and can absolutely bring it if he needed to...ya just can't beat the right hand of Mark.
Taking your girlfriend to an Alter Bridge concert is one hell of a risk...
i did that... she only knows 1 song from alter bridge, "watch over you", but damn she enjoyed the whole concert and started to like myles kennedy
If I had a boyfriend and he took me to an Alter Bridge concert i'd make him all the sandwiches he wanted for the rest of his life lol
A Caughey It would be awkward to make him sandwiches after you have dumped him cause you have a crush on Myles ;)
Myles or Mark.. im not fussy! :P
- I am leaving you, there is...someone else. I think i'm in love with Mark...
- Wait... I thought you liked Myles?
- Look, you're missing my point, man.
:P
I didn't know myles could play like that
first, myles played only guitar in a band without singing
He has taken formal classes on music theory and jazz guitar theory. In his first band, Cosmic Dust, he played only lead guitar. He also used to teach guitar for awhile.
***** yes indeed lol ! i saw slash covering Rise today ! man :/ nice try i say !
He won an american guitar competition at the age of 18 and was lead guitarist for cosmic dust, citizen swing and mayfield four before he joined AB, even then he kept his playing a secret as he didnt want to step on anyone's toes, apparently mark was walking around the hotel one night and heard all this really funky jazz coming from Myles's room, then blackbird came out and seriously rocked, dual awesome guitarist style :P
+Chris O'Neill dont forget that he would also open up for creed!
Myles reminds me so much of Peter Frampton here. Incredible tone and bends. It’s criminal that he only gets acclaim for his voice.
Okay now let’s see Mark vs Slash. Winner gets to keep Myles 😂
That's not fair to Mark!!!🤣
Two different genres but it would be really close
🤣
Mark wins!

Good camaraderie between them. They're a great team and amazing musicians in their own right.

Couldn't care less who's better or who they compare to... They are both incredible but for different reasons, and put together with Scott and Brian they make in my opinion the best band in the world at the moment!!! And all of those solos were absolutely mind-blowing!!!
Tuff to think of a band with 2 guitar players as good as Mark and Myles.
Can't wait to see them on October 4th , 1st show for the new record WOOOOHOOOOO!!!
Myles' face at 2:25, the personification of "DAYYUUMMMMMM"
It's about when you're creating what is the best lyric or melody line that fits the song.when it comes down to it every body is better at what they do when it comes to creating Alrerbridge music.
Owww man I can travel with this amazing solo. :D I love it.
Seems the Myles went to the Steve Vai school of facial expressions! :-) Bloody good wee 'battle' this.
I almost hate to say it but Myles takes it! Don't get me wrong Mark is an amazing player but Myles has something you can't learn...soul.
kh155 I agree with you.
Mark is obviously the better guitarist, though.
kh155 Myles is good, but your comparing mostly pentatonics to Mark's much more vast range. That whole "he has no feel" b.s. is ridiculous. This was a guitar battle, "feel" isn't the point. Mark has plenty of feel on the records, but in a situation like this he's gonna go all out with his much superior technical proficiency.
That's bullshit
"soul" - blues licks
Tremonti - theory, scales, arpeggios...
Wow. I really enjoyed that. Didn't know either of them could play like that.
FANTASTIC
The fact Myles Kennedy isn’t looking, is what makes this great. All around best musician 🤘🏻❤️
Muscle memory is muscle memory. Being a professional guitar means you can look away at most stuff you play. Looking at the fretboard is just a preference.
fantastic, Myles, Slash gets jealous of your playin
Nope slash doesn't, Slash is a humble musician and slash addressed himself that he takes few lessons from Myles...
@@cenaakashakash nice
Ok Myles can play but cmon slash is a household name ..
I'm so proud and honored to live at the same time, on the same planet as AB!!! I really feel sorry for the people who never discovered AB!!! This is the definition of music, of real music!!! This is... I dont think there exist a Word on this planet earth to describe Alter Bridge!!! =.....)
Totally agree! 💯
Best pairing
1:23 I love the way Myles just smiles so casually while he plays an epic solo!
Myles is a guitar teacher that's y...He also said that he showed Slash some techniques
thats fucking fantastic... i had an eargasm .. great great great
his face when he plays lol that's the goodie face it's too good
Best guitarist artist in century
Myles' PRS Private Stock (MacCarty i think) is so gorgeous
