Mark Knopfler is the most underrated guitarist out there in my opinion, there is a story out there that he once played through David Gilmour's entire rig and still managed to sound exactly like himself. So as far as not being recognisable, I'd say he has one of the most recognisable tones out there!
Can I just say that a six for Knopfler is an utter misrepresentation. I'm not the biggest fan of Dire Straits' music, but as a guitarist Knopfler is one of those rare guitar players where the music just seems to flow from his hands without thinking.
Do you understand opinions ?People have different opinions. Why it is so hard for some people to accept that everyone will not like the same fucking thing.I would rate mark a 4 out of 10 if I have to and I have listened to most of dire's albums.
Buckethead is a 10. I witnessed him live and he has a very unique ability to absolutely put you into a trance, I’ve never felt the same listening to any other guitarist and I’ve seen many
E.g. Muse - Animals: All the guitar solos are just complete feel. No unnecessary digitech whammy pedals, no crazy fuzz, just really smooth guitar playing recorded on a strat etc. Muse - Fury: really crazy digitech whammy and big muff riff recorded on a seven string manson guitar + that really heavy RATM influenced middle eight. Both absolutely amazing songs, both approached using two completely different guitar mentalities.
This statement misses the point of the video. Yes, at the end of the day if it sounds good, it is good. But it's great to break down these musicians and see why they have such an impact on us, and tech. can play a pivotal role in some of the guitar heroes we revere. Technicality is not about how fast/perfectly you can play, rather it's about the capability of fully expressing yourself on your instrument, regardless of "the right way vs. the wrong way to play" (ex: Jimmy Page's technique is sloppy but that's part of his unique sound on the guitar).

Please listen to Dire Straits again. Their complete discography is a flawless, glory showcase of the guitar. Not a single lame song. Also some stuff of Knopflers solo career is definetly worth checking out.
Sultans of Swing (Live at Alchemy) , Tunnel of Love and Telegraph Road (both studio version) are my "trinity" of the guitar, one of the main reasons I picked up the guitar.
@@bobtheyob Agreed, 'Les Boys' is an awful song for the Straits, but still good on a larger scale. I don't like "How Long" so much aswell. These songs should've been B-Sides probably and Walk of Life should've been put on the ExtendedanceEP. But there haven't been too many guitar driven bands with such a consequent high quality outcome as the Dire Straits. Caution, my next sentence is very subjective. Stones/Beatles made a lot of filler tracks, while Knopfler always got to the core (on a songwriter level). What's your favourite Knopfler solo song? I have many, for many different situations. 'Vic and Ray' to fall asleep, 'Sailing to Philadelphia' for landscaping, 'Privateering' for lonesome autumn days, 'Boom Like That' for driving Autobahn, but my overall go to Knopfler song, would be 'Monteleone' the song he wrote for his Luthier. I love the mood of it, very special. I can picture his workshop and his routines so well. Knopfler is just an amazing writer.
David Gilmour is a 10/10. His solos and feel are insane. And he has memorable solos like Comfortably Numb, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar, and Another Brick in The Wall Part 2 and he has very memorable riffs like Money, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell, and Another Brick In The Part 2.
Yeah Comfortably Numb and Time are probably my favorite solos ever and I get chills every time I hear them. IMO songwriting is a huge part of what makes a great guitarist because in the end the song and how it sounds is what it's all about. I could careless how hard a part is or fast it is if it doesn't sound great. Some might say a Gilmour solo isn't that hard to play but to write a solo like that or to play it so that it sounds the way he played is really hard. He also had his own unique sound and tone. Pink Floyd had such an original sound and so many great songs. For me Tom Morello is a 10 too. He's right up there with Hendrix as far pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the guitar. He has some amazing catchy and heavy riffs too. What he did with RATM, Audioslave, and his solo stuff show how versatile he is as well. I think for the greatest guitarist they have the highest marks in being original, innovative, and just creating sounds we've never heard that can blow your mind even after hearing it 500 times.
@@FragmentedR_YT And why should someone think anyone is "joking" when tone and inflection are not conveyed in text? Don't gripe at me for mistaking something when intent is not made clear by the commenter (especially when they make every effort to sound serious, including the emotes they use).
@@an_38kitkashyap Tom Morello might be more technically advanced, but when it comes to playing "Music", where the persons playing has to catch someones attention, and can feel the playing, Mark Knopfler might be the best guitarist ever. The thing about Mark Knopfler is, that he even himself says hes not really that good, thats why i like him. He is very humble. Try and watch the Monteleone guitars video with Mark Knopfler.
@@mvhax2ftw352 lol, it's way more harder to play Mark's music than Tom's. That "wow" sign is a symbol of shock for me. Don't know how you got that wrong. No-one in the comments did. 😂
Jerry Cantrell is a super underrated guitar. His song writing alone makes him one the best of all time. But what really sets him apart, his tone. He has perhaps the most tasteful tone of all the 90s Seattle bands.
David Gilmour 8/10 Brian May 8/10 Dimebag 8/10 J. Hetfield 8/10 Tony Iommi 8/10 Buckethead 7/10 Slash 7/10 John Frusciante 7/10 Mark Knopfler 6/10? All less than Tom Morrello and Tosin Abasi? Done All of them deserve 10/10 DG BM and DD Deserve 11/10 Although thanks for mentioning John Mayer though.
I can agree with Buckethead, but how the fuck does James Hetfield deserve a 10/10 ? The down-picking part is fine, the song-writing is fine, but his technicality is super limited compared to the others, all power-chords and open-string fills. Dude can't even shred and hardly knows any theory. I love Metallica, but placing him in the same league as the Petruccis, the Jason Beckers and the Paul Gilberts is just absolute madness.
I agree with the rating. But it's like he said, it's his opinion. Why are people getting triggered about an opinion or topic that's subjective to the individual. I think Gilmour's melodic feel deserves a higher rating than focusing on virtuosos. Virtuosos are cool, but are not superior to those who have mastered simplistic playing and feel over technique. For this reason, while I aspire to be a virtuoso, I favour more simplistic and feel based playing. To me I've learned that slow melodic playing is harder to master than speed, but for others it's different. In the end, he's right, rating guitarists is silly. But when we do, it's Solway opinion, not fact.
Fala Crow disagree over the virtuoso part mate, there are many virtuosos who have mastered all kinds of techniques. Not saying they are all like that, but there are unbelievable virtuosos. Listen to Andy James and see what I mean.
Mark Knopfler deserves better, I think. He’s got incredibly recognizable sound. I’ve never heard anyone sound like him. His tone is unique, his playing style is unique, and his general guitar voice is unique. Not to mention he’s just incredibly proficient from a technical standpoint. I’d say Gilmour over Knopfler simply for stylistic preferences, but if we’re talking technique and uniqueness, they ought to be closer in rating. Don’t wanna come off as angry or irritated-just my opinion, take it for what you will.
adam cunningham he got a lot less giving as the video went on he was being less critical at the beginning I was triggered at the amount of guitarists that were only as good as Lee
I'm surprised nobody said Daron Malakian. He isn't "proficient" per se (or at least his so-far published records. A few days more and we'll find out), but he certainly has a memorable tone that you can really recognize.
I’d honestly put buckethead at number one bar maybe people like Jimi Hendrix who have undeniable legendary status. Buckethead does just about everything on guitar, he does emotional ballads, crazy shredding like no other, epic blues licks, brutal metal riffs, creative stuff that is just buckethead. To me he’s on another level when it comes to the guitar.
I agree with you on most of your opinions, but in my mind Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, because his playing is extremely melodic with great timing. He is also very versatile, playing rock, but also folk and blues. You should definitely check out the Alchemy Live Album by Dire Straits, you miss something if you just define Mark Knopfler by Sultans. This might just be personal opinion, because he brought me into rock and guitar, though.
@@joshuahuf9747 just because he makes dumb faces as a joke doesn't mean he's not funny or not a good guitar player. It is comedy, just not your kinda comedy. But calling him a freak just because his faces make you uncomfy, does make you a condescending judgmental dickhead. Try not to be a prick in life going forward, thank you
Nathan Ross he is not wrong in fact he is absolutely right tyler shouldnt have rated the guitar players he hadnt listened to instead of judging their guitar playing based on their looks
You should do a series kind of like this where we can send you videos of us playing guitar, and you can give us some tips/ideas on how and where we can improve
DAVE MUSTAINE who's an awesome guitar player (way better than 8/10 Hetfield) and is a perfectionist that goes through highly skilled bandmates like hotcakes said, "BUCKETHEAD Is Probably Twice As Good A Guitar Player As Me And SLASH (7/10) Combined".
Jerry Cantrell is without a doubt a 10/10 He’s got such a unique and recognizable sound and has written so many great songs with creative melodies and memorable riffs, many of which are very unique and are a massive part of the Alice In Chains sound.
I think Jerry Cantrell should have been higher personally, mainly because I am a die hard AIC fan, and I grew up around them, but he wrote songs like Love Hate Love and Would, Man In the Box, Angry Chair, I could go one and on. But like you said he is more of a song writer, but a freaking good one.
Layne actually wrote the guitar parts to angry chair. I'm pretty sure the only part Jerry wrote was the solo which is fucking amazing. Layne should have picked up the guitar more often.
My main cinch is that he said he didn’t have a lot of memorable riffs when he wrote greats ones like in sunshine, we die young, and almost any song on facelift
Buckethead is a 10/10! He's a lot more diverse and creative than he's given credit for. He reuses a lot of the same ideas in the Pikes series, but those are more or less jams than structured songs.
@@yuritarded4774 honestly he said that he doesn't think of him as THE grunge guitarist which I get but like c'mon man alice in chains was the consummate grunge band when you get down to it
Mark Knopfler live performances were just awesome, the way he was playing a 5-minute version solo of Sultans of Swing or other songs. His licks' phrases are unique to listen, especially for the last solo of his song "Tunnel of Love". Proof a solo can sound nice without playing it fast. Just by the sound of the guitar you know it's him.
Lee anderton and John frusciante are ranked the same and both of them ranked higher than mark knopfler... I know it's opinion but c'mon man that's just crazy
+Krista Mehanikova frusciante 100% deserves a 7+ and lee could definitely get up in that range sure I agree with you there. But in my humble opinion, if frusciante is a 7, the captain deserve a 5/6 and knopfler deserves a 8/9. But hey, that's the beauty of opinions, we don't all have to think The same
man in the box, we die young, them bones, dirt, get born again, rooster, what the hell have i, grind, nutshell, again, brother, no excuses, i can’t remember, love hate love, rain when i die, god am, sludge factory, dam that river all of these cantrell riffs are better than anything mccready and especially cobain have ever done, kim thayil/chris cornell and jerry cantrell are the best guitarists from the grunge scene and not taking anything away from kurt and mike
I said the same thing. To put cobain above jerry from a guitarist standpoint is pure lunacy. But hey this guy put mark Tremonti above mark knophler.....he lost major points there.
DA BASEGREY Better yet all the sudden Mark Knopfler fans. REEEEEEE MUH SULTANS OF SWING. Jesus its an opinion, I thought Dimebag should have been higher but Im not bitching about it in every fucking post.
If you did a part 2 I'd love to hear your opinions on George Harrison (my personal favourite guitarist), Jimmy Hendrix, Satchel, J mascis, Syd Barret, Graham Coxon, Jonny Marr and Pete Townshend
How didn’t people give photos of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani and Marty Friedman? Like how! There are so many more amazing guitarists missing!
HENDRIX would be a 1000000000000/10 Hendrix is always #1 as a hendrix fanatic and I mainly only play hendrix and without hendrix i would have never picked up a guitar.. with that being said I like seeing other guitarist getting talked about I love all guitar players if ur picking up an instrument and having fun that's all that matters. but its cool seeing guitarist that we don't talk much about.
Leo B bro what are you even talking about they had one of the greatest rock voices of all time fronting the band with one of the meanest guitar tones and riffs anyone had heard at that time
Myles Kennedy does most of the emotional solos and difficult rythm parts. He did the intro to Cry of Achilles, the solo at the beginning of Show me a Leader.
Dude this is my kids channel... you are incredible talking about that's kind of my style when you comparing Randy Rhoads and judging somebody the guitar player on their tattoos and curly hair and the way they hold a cable give us a break... at least listen to a guitar player before you rate them
I'm not bashing your opinion or bashing you, but, being a professional guitar player, how could you give Mark Knopfler a 6? I mean, Chet Atkins invited him to make a record. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong because you're right, music is completely subjective, but I'd love to know the reasoning behind this.
don't get me wrong i completely agree and in my opinion he shouldn't have even rated guitar players based on their looks just because he didn't know them.
Myles Kennedy is responsible for the first half of the Blackbird solo, the intro to Cry of Achilles, and a lot more. He's got a tight rhythm and is one of the best rock singers around today (in my opinion).
Surprised that Dave mustaine, and chuck schuldiner weren’t included. Best composers of metal IMHO Glad Plini got some love at least. Also Adam Jones is a unique talent.
I like how you look at things. You seem primarily interested in tackling this from the angle of "Who did it the best" without something less important like "Who done it first." Good job!
He said that he probably wouldn't recognize Buckethead's playing if he heard it. That's amazing to me because Buckethead has a very distinct style and sound.
ikr! Like what the fuck was that all about?! This dude needs to listen to Dirt and Facelift. I very much disagree that Jerry didn't write memorable riffs. It Aint Like That, Rotten Apple, Man in the Box, Them Bones, Love Hate Love, the extended solo on Nutshell... Cantrell is a lot more technical than even McCready and Cobain.
MrTechselect He was the reason I started playing, think he was trolling as you can't put Cobain what was shit on guitar (still this guy was an icon) next to Jerry. Also he's solo work, is mind blowing, so solid 8/10 easy
I know this is subjective and all that, but I think even Lee Andertons would be offended if he knew he was being ranked higher than Mark Knopfler by someone
My top 10-jay jay french 9-slash 8-brian may 7-synyster gates 6-dimebag darell 5-rabdy rhoads 4-stevie ray vaughan 3-yngwie 2-eddie van halen 1-me What's you fav?
No doubt, this channel has a lot of great videos this is not one of them. I stopped watching after a couple of legends were given mediocre scores. Alex Lifeson and David Gilmour receives eights and whats the deal with Jerry Cantrell getting a 6? I see in the comments that Mark Knopler also has a 6, sultans of swing alone is enough for a higher score.. Maybe not really a good idea to score guitarists, if you don't really know their catalog. BTW, I wonder if Steve Morse on this list, if so what did he score.? If SRV is a 10 then Steve Morse is a 100, and I love SRV.
Assuming this list is about players who are versatile innovators , Lifeson deserves a 9. I am starting to believe that the opinionated scores given are intentionally low. When a versatile and outstanding player such as Mark Knopler receive a low score maybe to create controversy and more views! Lifeson may not be a fast mechanical player. But, he definitely, has taste, original style, and very obvious technical amplitude! Seriously, if anyone has done their homework they would know that many guitar masters ( I.E. Petrucci) respect Lifesons work. Alex is great with his tasty chordal voicing s and fits perfectly with one of the the greatest rhythm sections on the planet! According to Geddy Lee, Lifeson always comes up with something amazing on the fly. Usually, when they are writing some of the most amazing songs ever recorded. Who hasn't heard of Rush? Morse not being on this list is a travesty, he invented all of the technical playing styles that players such as Petrucci cut their teeth on.------ Steve Morse equals God level.
Feeling triggered? Me too. I mean, how could Mark Knopfler get a 6/10? WTF! 0:01
Triggered? No. More like "Disappointed that such a good guitar player and teacher decided to rate people he know almost nothing about, instead of skipping them, or refusing to rate"
BTW Tyler, Mark is seriously a fantastic player and You should definitely check his other songs.
It's all part of his grand master plan to get more views and subs... who would watch an objective, reasonable, and fair video rating guitarists what their actually worth? These legends have already written their names in the history books and don't need a random TH-cam video ranking them out of 10.

'Vic and Ray' to fall asleep, 'Sailing to Philadelphia' for landscaping, 'Privateering' for lonesome autumn days, 'Boom Like That' for driving Autobahn, but my overall go to Knopfler song, would be 'Monteleone' the song he wrote for his Luthier. I love the mood of it, very special. I can picture his workshop and his routines so well. Knopfler is just an amazing writer.
David Gilmour is a 10/10. His solos and feel are insane. And he has memorable solos like Comfortably Numb, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar, and Another Brick in The Wall Part 2 and he has very memorable riffs like Money, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell, and Another Brick In The Part 2.
You're bloody right my friend. I clicked on this video for Gilmour. He's an 11/10. I started playing because of him man
Yeah Comfortably Numb and Time are probably my favorite solos ever and I get chills every time I hear them. IMO songwriting is a huge part of what makes a great guitarist because in the end the song and how it sounds is what it's all about. I could careless how hard a part is or fast it is if it doesn't sound great. Some might say a Gilmour solo isn't that hard to play but to write a solo like that or to play it so that it sounds the way he played is really hard. He also had his own unique sound and tone. Pink Floyd had such an original sound and so many great songs.
For me Tom Morello is a 10 too. He's right up there with Hendrix as far pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the guitar. He has some amazing catchy and heavy riffs too. What he did with RATM, Audioslave, and his solo stuff show how versatile he is as well.
I think for the greatest guitarist they have the highest marks in being original, innovative, and just creating sounds we've never heard that can blow your mind even after hearing it 500 times.
Ya I love shreds etc..but listen to live in Pompeii..wow!!! 10 out of 10.. animals,etc

Jerry Cantrell is a super underrated guitar. His song writing alone makes him one the best of all time. But what really sets him apart, his tone. He has perhaps the most tasteful tone of all the 90s Seattle bands.
I agree. He might not be your average "guitar hero", but I've rarelly heard a songwriter as good as him

Abasi technically is probably better then all of them bar buckethead. Technically only of course
The Dank Soviet yeah Tosin kills anyone here, but they’re all pretty iconic and uniquely talented
I can agree with Buckethead, but how the fuck does James Hetfield deserve a 10/10 ? The down-picking part is fine, the song-writing is fine, but his technicality is super limited compared to the others, all power-chords and open-string fills. Dude can't even shred and hardly knows any theory. I love Metallica, but placing him in the same league as the Petruccis, the Jason Beckers and the Paul Gilberts is just absolute madness.
Hetfield is fine at 8. I thought Morello would get 10.

david gilmour 8/10? TRIGGERED
Rubbing you opinion on others faces? Not triggered cause I'm a little more mature.
He meant to flip the 8, to get an infinity
I agree with the rating. But it's like he said, it's his opinion. Why are people getting triggered about an opinion or topic that's subjective to the individual. I think Gilmour's melodic feel deserves a higher rating than focusing on virtuosos. Virtuosos are cool, but are not superior to those who have mastered simplistic playing and feel over technique. For this reason, while I aspire to be a virtuoso, I favour more simplistic and feel based playing.
To me I've learned that slow melodic playing is harder to master than speed, but for others it's different. In the end, he's right, rating guitarists is silly. But when we do, it's Solway opinion, not fact.
He's like 100/10
Fala Crow disagree over the virtuoso part mate, there are many virtuosos who have mastered all kinds of techniques. Not saying they are all like that, but there are unbelievable virtuosos. Listen to Andy James and see what I mean.

Mark Knopfler deserves better, I think. He’s got incredibly recognizable sound. I’ve never heard anyone sound like him. His tone is unique, his playing style is unique, and his general guitar voice is unique. Not to mention he’s just incredibly proficient from a technical standpoint. I’d say Gilmour over Knopfler simply for stylistic preferences, but if we’re talking technique and uniqueness, they ought to be closer in rating. Don’t wanna come off as angry or irritated-just my opinion, take it for what you will.
Jerry Cantrell would definitely get a 9/10 from me because some of the lesser known AiC riffs are seriously badass.
Sloan Guitar right
Absolutely
Lee Anderton - 7/10

I’d honestly put buckethead at number one bar maybe people like Jimi Hendrix who have undeniable legendary status. Buckethead does just about everything on guitar, he does emotional ballads, crazy shredding like no other, epic blues licks, brutal metal riffs, creative stuff that is just buckethead. To me he’s on another level when it comes to the guitar.
Agreed! His mastery on the guitar is on another level!!

Tjarda Rosendaal my thoughts exactly
I agree with you on most of your opinions, but in my mind Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, because his playing is extremely melodic with great timing. He is also very versatile, playing rock, but also folk and blues. You should definitely check out the Alchemy Live Album by Dire Straits, you miss something if you just define Mark Knopfler by Sultans. This might just be personal opinion, because he brought me into rock and guitar, though.
John Smith I consider him the best. Always plays stuff that fits with the music but he still has a fantastic tone, feel and skill
I can understand why nobody said Adam Jones but i'm really surprised that nobody said Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton.

Buckethead > Steve vai
Someone who doesn’t agree listen to look up there or coupons by buckethead
DAVE MUSTAINE who's an awesome guitar player (way better than 8/10 Hetfield) and is a perfectionist that goes through highly skilled bandmates like hotcakes said, "BUCKETHEAD Is Probably Twice As Good A Guitar Player As Me And SLASH (7/10) Combined".
Jerry Cantrell is without a doubt a 10/10 He’s got such a unique and recognizable sound and has written so many great songs with creative melodies and memorable riffs, many of which are very unique and are a massive part of the Alice In Chains sound.
I think Jerry Cantrell should have been higher personally, mainly because I am a die hard AIC fan, and I grew up around them, but he wrote songs like Love Hate Love and Would, Man In the Box, Angry Chair, I could go one and on. But like you said he is more of a song writer, but a freaking good one.
Was waiting for this comment.
Layne actually wrote the guitar parts to angry chair. I'm pretty sure the only part Jerry wrote was the solo which is fucking amazing. Layne should have picked up the guitar more often.
My main cinch is that he said he didn’t have a lot of memorable riffs when he wrote greats ones like in sunshine, we die young, and almost any song on facelift
Gavin Griffitt Rotten Apple alone is awesome. Not just with AIC, Cantrell even does better work on his solo albums.
Buckethead is a 10/10! He's a lot more diverse and creative than he's given credit for. He reuses a lot of the same ideas in the Pikes series, but those are more or less jams than structured songs.
Are you serious? Jerry Cantrel hasn’t made any memorable riffs? Listen again my man. Love your videos though
He really did Jerry wrong on this one my mans a rock god.
@@yuritarded4774 honestly he said that he doesn't think of him as THE grunge guitarist which I get but like c'mon man alice in chains was the consummate grunge band when you get down to it

he deserves it to be honest. who the fuck else could have gotten it ?
Whats the point of a rating system if you just break it
Mark Knopfler live performances were just awesome, the way he was playing a 5-minute version solo of Sultans of Swing or other songs.
His licks' phrases are unique to listen, especially for the last solo of his song "Tunnel of Love". Proof a solo can sound nice without playing it fast. Just by the sound of the guitar you know it's him.
Mark knopfler 6/10 Nooooo

Lee anderton and John frusciante are ranked the same and both of them ranked higher than mark knopfler... I know it's opinion but c'mon man that's just crazy
George Sims Well, I think John totally deserves 7/10 if not even higher. But I agree with the rest..
John fucking Frusciante totally deserves that 7.
Dare you insult the captain?
George Sims OH NO HOW DARE HE HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINON
+Krista Mehanikova frusciante 100% deserves a 7+ and lee could definitely get up in that range sure I agree with you there. But in my humble opinion, if frusciante is a 7, the captain deserve a 5/6 and knopfler deserves a 8/9. But hey, that's the beauty of opinions, we don't all have to think The same
8/10 is pretty low for the writer of comfortably numb's solo
michaellundgren1 dogs for the win!
Gilmour is great but not as versatile as others, mostly relying on pentatonics and aeolian scale. In regard to taste I would give him a 10/10.
I loved echos honestly
Please tell me Comfortably Numb is not the only song you ve heard of Pink Floyd
Comfortably numb is overrated, there are many guitarists that are much better than David Gilmour in general, he is very memorable though

I'm not bashing your opinion or bashing you, but, being a professional guitar player, how could you give Mark Knopfler a 6? I mean, Chet Atkins invited him to make a record. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong because you're right, music is completely subjective, but I'd love to know the reasoning behind this.

Myles Kennedy is responsible for the first half of the Blackbird solo, the intro to Cry of Achilles, and a lot more. He's got a tight rhythm and is one of the best rock singers around today (in my opinion).

This was a bad idea lol
fazeel ashraf it really doesn't seem like Tyler, rating other guitarists in such a way.
No doubt, this channel has a lot of great videos this is not one of them. I stopped watching after a couple of legends were given mediocre scores. Alex Lifeson and David Gilmour receives eights and whats the deal with Jerry Cantrell getting a 6? I see in the comments that Mark Knopler also has a 6, sultans of swing alone is enough for a higher score.. Maybe not really a good idea to score guitarists, if you don't really know their catalog. BTW, I wonder if Steve Morse on this list, if so what did he score.? If SRV is a 10 then Steve Morse is a 100, and I love SRV.
Assuming this list is about players who are versatile innovators , Lifeson deserves a 9. I am starting to believe that the opinionated scores given are intentionally low. When a versatile and outstanding player such as Mark Knopler receive a low score maybe to create controversy and more views!
Lifeson may not be a fast mechanical player. But, he definitely, has taste, original style, and very obvious technical amplitude! Seriously, if anyone has done their homework they would know that many guitar masters ( I.E. Petrucci) respect Lifesons work. Alex is great with his tasty chordal voicing s and fits perfectly with one of the the greatest rhythm sections on the planet! According to Geddy Lee, Lifeson always comes up with something amazing on the fly. Usually, when they are writing some of the most amazing songs ever recorded. Who hasn't heard of Rush? Morse not being on this list is a travesty, he invented all of the technical playing styles that players such as Petrucci cut their teeth on.------ Steve Morse equals God level.
