Alip_ba_ta from Indonesia, you gotta watch his videos. Very natural, videos shot in a very simple way, modest house..but his skill is so exceptional. Check out his cover of Eric Clapton's wonderful tonight
Mike Dawes is the only fingerstyle player I know, whose playing doesn't sound like it's "all over the place". To me, his sound is the cleanest and he sounds most like multiple separate instruments playing together.
alip ba ta finger style from Indonesia is amazing, he doesn't just play the guitar but plays a musical instrument in one guitar .... and he really enjoyed it, playing as if a song was in his soul 🙏🙏
most of these i listened to more than 10 years ago, and even today. my highlight was meeting don ross in germany on a small concert. was really lucky to know a friend of him doing the mixing there, and i got to backstage for a picture. back than i was way to nervous to ask him anything :D
@@zainalarifin7794 NgopaDidaPurtuSamjat... was listening.. not bad.. ok hmm about to move on, maybe what else, bang beat switch, super interesting song indeed it is truly a trilogy, a trilogic masterpiece ! ;)
It was my extreme pleasure to see Estas Tonne perform in person. His compositions don't always end when you think that they are over, and sometimes he ends a song and remains holding the guitar as if he is about to continue, so by the end of the concert, people were so confused about when to applaud that he actually had to gesture to the audience to acknowledge that the song had indeed ended. That being said, his performance was nothing short of phenomenal.
@@alexn.4355 Right. I see him as very overrated. His compositions are all the same and not very difficult to play. So they neither impress the ear nor the eye.
If you like that sort of thing, go watch the "House of the Rising Sun" cover by Luca Sestak, piano and drums. Stick with it, he really opens up somewhere after the halfway point. My favorite cover of that song. At the end the drummer uses a very cool effect on the cymbal that I've never seen, and you'll see Luca smile at the point I'm talking about with the early clapping, which your comment brought to mind. Luca understands what a long pause can do for music, and utilizes them occasionally, to great effect. It was done at one of the major jazz or blues festivals, don't remember where.
Yes they are all amazing talents, but you are right, not all are my cup of tea. I prefer a melodic sound on acoustic guitar. Percussion and tapping are fine if incorporated into a piece where more appropriate. But then, they all blow my talent off the planet so I can't criticize their efforts. I just couldn't listen to that style all day. But give me Tommy Emmanuel, Richard Smith, Loren and Mark, and now I've heard Nick Charles.
To have 1/100th the talent of some of these guys would be amazing. Never played a guitar in my life but have always wanted to learn how. Guess it’s never too late
The dynamics of this piece are a lesson in themselves. This piece presented itself as my first inspirational music as a child when I first heard it on Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". Some of you can remember that far back. Thank You! JD
If we do not count an absolute bloody legend like Tommy Emmanuel and we take into consideration only younger generation, then definitely the best two out of all of them are: 1. Aleksandr Misko 2. Sungha Jung
I agree with Metal Scholar ......You should include him (Alip ba ta from indonesia) very humble guy - see him playing especially the Hotel California, wonderful tonight and others.
Tommy Emmanuel by far the best technical player I think I've ever seen with speed to burn even though he's older. Probably forgets more about guitar by breakfast than the young ones ever learn! My opinion
@@dazblue5515 he has a worthy successor, here is how he olays Tommy's Tall Fiddler. And he was only 17 when it was recorded th-cam.com/video/u4KpyKucJkA/w-d-xo.html
If Alip Ba Ta was in the recording studio, maybe he would be on this list. but unfortunately he only uses an ordinary guitar with a tone amplifier plus his extraordinary abilities. and even then, many are amazed by his playing ability 🙂
Thanks, artist’s at work, great tune’s , great instruments.knew most, but you gave me a few new names to investigate on TH-cam. Great time spent listening.
davidbell .. You´re right. I´m searching and listening such guitar players since Corona. There´s one fingerstyle player I´m watching again and again, his name is Eiro Nareth, a Russian guitarist ( Alex Misko also is Russian ). If you like, check it out (youtube).
Your two compilations are very nice, but, you appear to be missing the one guitarist that was a primary influence to almost everyone on your lists: Michael Hedges!
I’m glad someone finally mentioned Michael Hedges - the predecessor of and innovator of many of these techniques. Obvious inspiration and influence (whether they know it or not) of many or most of these guitarists. And most likely the best and deepest composer of all of them. One of the saddest days of my life when he passed away in 1997. Supreme and sublime talent.
Great compilation. There are so many talented players out there. I would like to say Alip-Ba-Ta is worthy of inclusion. he has over 2 Million subscribers and I think more views than any other guitarist.
They are all outstanding artists. My choice is Shunga Jung because I'm addicted to his style and technic, plus he started from a very young age and hi is still young (22), he plays already more than 1.000 themes, also composed many of them and also plays other instruments (piano, electric guitarr, ukelele, harp ukelele). He is very versatile, clean playing, simple but yet sophisticated, with outstanding timing. To me, easy to listen for hours.
I also see him as one of the best. He has the best right hand I have seen. He also actually plays the guitar, doesn't tap or rub it like half of the rest "finger-style" dudes. He does some tap every now and then but it's to support the strings, not the other way around. Him and Tommy Emanuel can play very accurately and delicately while actually strumming/picking really aggressively, which I like.
just see josephine alexandra,, she style like sung ha jung (her inspiration) but the sound more rich and complete.. the tone, tempo, detail ,speed , anad accurate are so perfect,, like same the original song version
@@Gatotkoco22 Yes she is wonderful too, but after listening a few songs I get saturated. An other really good an underrated fingerstyle guitarist is Kent Nishimura (Japan). His technique, complexity, soul and musicality is from an other world, recognised by experimented musicians. But at this level is more a matter of taste... Is unfair comparing within so many outstanding ones.
Why would anyone give a thumbs down to guitar styles not to mention extreme talent and excellent ability and talent, well, unless they are jealous or deaf.
@BrianJohnson-or5hw ... ´totally agree ! This vid came out in August 2018. Five year ago, I think the name "Eiro Nareth" was known in Russia but still not known by guitar fans round the world.
Phil Keaggy is by several magazines considered to be among the 3 best finger picking guitarist in the world. I am not saying he is among the 3 best but should probably be in this list :)
Couldn't agree more. The omission of Phil Keaggy is a crime. Much has to do with him being pigeon holed as a Christian guitarist and not taken as seriously as secular artists. It's funny since over half of his recordings are instrumental. Personally I believe he cracks the top 5 and the fact that he's missing his middle finger on his picking hand seals it.
@@kevinhannah2074 Yes It looks like many try to ignore Phil Keaggys talent because of his faith, cant see any other reason for it especially when he is not in list of best 50 or 100 but I will also say that its hard to say someone is best, because gitarists often have their own style and is good in their own way of playing, so many styles out there and technics and speed of playing that I dont think we can say one particular is better than everyone else. But I think we can say Phil is one of the best in finger style because of his great variation and flawless playing dificult stuff and his talent of creating melodic music he has over 50 records and he is also a excellent el gitarist and songwriter as well. He has been my favorite musician since 1983 just never get tired of his playing and songs. Great inspiration ! and to be able to do this with a half finger missing just makes him even better. Lets enjoy the variation of gifting many players have and appreciate them all. It all reflects God in the talents He gave men for us to enjoy.
Tommy ... possibly the best acoustics guitarist in the world. _I don't think the one in this clip shows what he can really do, it only hints at it ... he's in another league and has been for decades!_
Agreed. Thank you for putting into words what I couldn't figure out how to say. Just enough of each one to not knock it out and drag it down for so long.
I am also a HUGE Marcin fan ... and in a perfect world the Superhero group would be composed of Marcin, Jaco Pastorius, Chick Chorea(sp.) and Steve Gadd!!! 💥🌹🖤
I play around with finger style somewhat and have enjoyed Chet, Doc and Jerry in the past. What a solid base they set for those that followed. I like Tony, especially when he contains himself a bit, like in his Deep Water Blues. And of the many wonderful creations that you featured here, I identified the closest with Sugha Jung and Alexander Misko.
I tend to agree...not a fan of turning a guitar into a drum kit...chet and Jerry set the bar very high and joe Robinson and Tommy answered the call us many others.
The technical ability on display here is ridiculous. But Tommy Emmanuel also has that certain groove and feeling and understanding of the melody of a song which sets him apart.
I'm with you John, though not for the reason you might think. What set Marcin apart from all the other guys is his understanding of musical theory. He has such a deep grasp of it that he is able to rearrange music in ways that simply blow the minds of those who really know music. His ability to incorporate percussion into his pieces is also miles above everyone else on this list...like he's in the stratosphere, and everyone else is hanging out in the Mariana Trench...he frickin uses rasgueado technique on the body of his guitar!
@@tudifrudijohansen3258 Yeah, I know. He does compose his own songs as well though. I was commenting on his understanding of music theory, and how it is evident in his rearranging of very complicated classical pieces.
Of all the fingerstyle guitarists out there, Alip Ba.ta is still the best, with simple instruments but in Alip Ba.ta hands everything feels world class.
I agree with some of the comments: boring. It is riff based music, melody is missing. Check out Leo Kottke, one of the very few finger style guitarists who has the gift of melody.
Jngan berlebihan klo sama Gitaris Barat bro , Gua akui alif bata Bagus , tpi Klo sama Gitaris2 barat Ya jangan ngelebihin Alif Sampe bilang In the world Itu mah Namanya Norak Lu bro ,
Wkakskakkwka..., setiap orang punya penilaian sendiri bang.. Saya juga sering nonton video bang alip.., dan semua fingerstyle juga.., dan semuanya best dngan ciri khas masing"
They're all great in their respective styles and genre of playing. For me, my basis of determining the greatest guitarist is when he/she can play of all sorts of style. A master of different kinds of tecniques with innovative and more revolutionized of playing the instrument. I must say Marcin is that guy. Hes unconventional and distinctive playing is out of this world compared to other guitarist. A complete guitarist with charismatic aura. The only guy that can match his caliber is Luca stricagnoli I guess. And by the way my favorite guitarist is Tommy
Indeed he's the greatest. The best. But he should avoid showing smoking in his video. Not educational. He wanna go International, follow international "standard".
@@itsdavood5360 man I can't even name 50 fingerstyle guitarists... Andy Mackey (dunno if I spelled bit right) Alexander Misko, Alip, that's all I know lol and that's a lot to learn from
I actually cut my nails and play finger tips , I fret the same way... I really just enjoy the freedom of getting more hits per BPM than any other guitar style. Thank You for this content.
I started finger picking about 10 years ago after I developed arthritis in my right hand during cancer treatment. I essentially couldn’t hold a pick anymore, no matter which fingers I used it hurt like hell, got depressed because guitar had been my outlet (and friend) for so long in tough times. I then discovered it didn’t hurt at all when I used my fingers, I eventually got the hang of it and was able to do more on guitar than I was when using a pick.
Mike Hedges, of course (the father of them all). Leo Kottke have a more traditional style, but is sure a master (his bottleneck finger picking technique is quite something👍🏼). It was nice to be witness of the evolution of his style from a more agressive picking to a more sensitive and complexe style. And no rubatto up here, he is a true metronome !
That was a really good list of guitar players! I knew a few of these people but I'm glad I watched the video because now I have more musicians to check out 😁
wait till you watch Alibata from indonesia. he never attends formal music school, no video editing, no cam fx, no pedal.. nothing. just regular downtown guy.. but he plays so smooth like just come out without rehearsing first. here we call him as : natural talent
@Marko oOo if sung ha jung with river flow is in the list, you might check alif video on same played song before you said alif is good but not bet enough
No !!! Karena dia cuma hebat dan jago di cover lagu orang tapi ga punya solo gitar ciptaan sendiri seperti tohpati balawan dewa budjana atau fingerstyle lainnya Kalo utk cover lagu alipbata emang rajanya sih tapi sayang belom bisa bikin karya sendiri dan di sukai orang banyak.

7:30 Marcin Patrzalek

Tommy Emanuel still gets my vote
Monte Montgomery gets mine also
With all respect to other guitarists in the list, he is and Igor P are at different league.
Don't forget his brother Phil - RIP mate
I am with you on Tommy ... possibly the best acoustics guitarist in the world. _I don't think the one in this clip shows what he can really do!_
Tommy's pinpoint accuracy and dexterity playing across a variety of genres is simply unsurpassed - absolute brilliance !!
Lots of great players from Canada! But Tommy Emmanuel is my favorite in the world for me
If we do not count an absolute bloody legend like Tommy Emmanuel and we take into consideration only younger generation, then definitely the best two out of all of them are:
1. Aleksandr Misko
2. Sungha Jung
Tommy is tasteless, the opposite of his hero, Chet Atkins.
Andy Mckee and Mike Dawes !!! Totally awesome !!!
I agree with Metal Scholar ......You should include him (Alip ba ta from indonesia) very humble guy - see him playing especially the Hotel California, wonderful tonight and others.
Appearence of ABT 's youtube will humiliateed em
This video is great because it shows that there are so many guitar virtuoso and doesn't exist "the best" but just OUR favorite one.
Tommy Emmanuel by far the best technical player I think I've ever seen with speed to burn even though he's older. Probably forgets more about guitar by breakfast than the young ones ever learn! My opinion
Agreed... lucky to have seen him a few times, and once in a very small venue, stood about 3 feet from him... watching him play was incredible
Tommy is the father of them all newplayers but alex misko will be the best composer and alreadt is top notch as tecnique i think
But again he has a lot lf work to do to be as good as tommy or jon gomm
Marcin is in a whole different level then Tommy
@@dazblue5515 he has a worthy successor, here is how he olays Tommy's Tall Fiddler. And he was only 17 when it was recorded th-cam.com/video/u4KpyKucJkA/w-d-xo.html

I love the fact that Marcin Patrzalek has Tommy Emmanuels autograph on his guitar.
Alip ba ta..best humble person . playing so smooth and harmony no one is like him....
@Elina Setyasti nwn buk..
8:16 Beautifully simple and articulate. Heart melting. What you play often trumps even the most fantastic of finger gymnastics.
Very beautiful!!!!
I have been with incredible musicians that have not nor do need the fame. This list just exemplifies such brilliant musicians.
In my opinion, Mrcin Patrzalek - Poland- Asturias (leyenda) by Isaac Albenz, He took a classic to the next level at timestamp 7:30
Look closely,and you will see the signature,"Tommy Emmanuel,CGP"on his guitar.The ultimate accolade!

Gua akui alif bata Bagus , tpi Klo sama Gitaris2 barat Ya jangan ngelebihin Alif Sampe bilang In the world Itu mah Namanya Norak Lu bro ,
Wkakskakkwka..., setiap orang punya penilaian sendiri bang.. Saya juga sering nonton video bang alip.., dan semua fingerstyle juga.., dan semuanya best dngan ciri khas masing"
Kampungan+alay+Taik=kurdi
ali baba is nothing,,, he is not international level... he should become a street musician,,
Lots of amazing guitarists here, but nobody, nobody compares with Richard Smith!! I think any of these guitarists would agree if they’re honest.😮
Marcin The best omg
I have to agree
My impression as well ...
They need to update Marcin’s that was from when he was younger he is much much better now
Wahhh uncle igor ada dalam list 😄😄. Mantap uncle. Kopi mana kopi
Best female finger stylist goes to Gabriella Quevedo!!
Kent Nishimura will be included here someday.
Indeed he should be.
Kent is outstanding and any list of great fingerstyle guitarist without him on it is incomplete.
someday? He is already better than if not all on this list!
@@Marco-bh9im I totally agree.
It’s crazy how these people are so crazy talented and yet nobody knows who they are
Misko is my favorite! They're all incredible!
The best fingerstyle guitarist is Marcin Patrzałek from Poland.
@@movemelody1 Thanks. I'll have to check him out!
Alip-ba-ta from Indonesia 👍😊
Wow! Some incredible guitarist here whom I’ve never heard of!
They're all great in their respective styles and genre of playing. For me, my basis of determining the greatest guitarist is when he/she can play of all sorts of style. A master of different kinds of tecniques with innovative and more revolutionized of playing the instrument. I must say Marcin is that guy. Hes unconventional and distinctive playing is out of this world compared to other guitarist. A complete guitarist with charismatic aura. The only guy that can match his caliber is Luca stricagnoli I guess. And by the way my favorite guitarist is Tommy
You must see Alip ba ta's cover of dear god, hotel California and canon rock...
Indeed he's the greatest. The best. But he should avoid showing smoking in his video. Not educational. He wanna go International, follow international "standard".
mahaujux In my opinion, he’s top 50 but y’all Indonesians are going to bash me anyways. It seems like you guys never watched this whole video.
@@itsdavood5360 man I can't even name 50 fingerstyle guitarists... Andy Mackey (dunno if I spelled bit right) Alexander Misko, Alip, that's all I know lol and that's a lot to learn from
@@itsdavood5360 it's nationalism bro.
SeanS all good but im not calling him bad or anything, but he’ like at par with andrew foy
I actually cut my nails and play finger tips , I fret the same way... I really just enjoy the freedom of getting more hits per BPM than any other guitar style. Thank You for this content.
I was literally finding Luca Stricagnoli ..♥️
I still love the relaxing sound of Earl Klugh's guitar
I started finger picking about 10 years ago after I developed arthritis in my right hand during cancer treatment. I essentially couldn’t hold a pick anymore, no matter which fingers I used it hurt like hell, got depressed because guitar had been my outlet (and friend) for so long in tough times. I then discovered it didn’t hurt at all when I used my fingers, I eventually got the hang of it and was able to do more on guitar than I was when using a pick.
No list is complete without Mike hedges...and Leo kotkie
Mike Hedges, of course (the father of them all).
Leo Kottke have a more traditional style, but is sure a master (his bottleneck finger picking technique is quite something👍🏼). It was nice to be witness of the evolution of his style from a more agressive picking to a more sensitive and complexe style. And no rubatto up here, he is a true metronome !
#StanleyJordan
And alip_ba_ta for sure
@@BenBopALula!,
You nailed it I agree
Ben Lacy.
Enjoyed the video. Thank you!
That was a really good list of guitar players! I knew a few of these people but I'm glad I watched the video because now I have more musicians to check out 😁
Fingerstyle ❤, uff espectacular, este estilo es muy completo.
Michael Hedges,the master....incomparable
wait till you watch Alibata from indonesia. he never attends formal music school, no video editing, no cam fx, no pedal.. nothing. just regular downtown guy.. but he plays so smooth like just come out without rehearsing first. here we call him as : natural talent
Nice selection of talent.
I wil vouch for Alip_Ba_ta from indonesia.. very low end set up but the output is beyond quality
How about aing lee ??
@Marko oOo if sung ha jung with river flow is in the list, you might check alif video on same played song before you said alif is good but not bet enough
Once again you killed that . You make every song sound better.
And now, we got "Alip Ba Ta". Come and enjoy....
Tommy Emmanuel - Australia
But, he's an old pro.
They should have smokin join there also
Monte Montgomery Austin, Tx.
That is quite the basket of talent you have put together. Amazing; and each with their own voice and distinctive style of playing. Thank you.
There's no way I could do what these guys can do.
They are all amazing, but Tommy Emmanuel and Marcin take it for me. Not enough of any of them to get a full appreciation of their style and talent.
Paco De Lucia
Anything Tommy could play, Marcin can play faster and better
Чтобы так играть ребята, от этого нужно ловить кайф. Творчество это прикосновение к бесконечности.
Honestly just had to watch this to make sure Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour were on this list.
All of Candyrat Records are amazing guitarists.
Ewan Dobson as well, that dude is amazing
Antoine Dufour's music is tiresome and repetitive. That constant need to whack the strings every two seconds. Jesus. Give it a rest already.
@@Julesacu dont listen to it then?
@@Julesacu I'm sure that's also how people around you feel about you constant whining and judging the things the people around you like
Alip ba ta 'the genius boy' is the best fingerstyle, i think..
Yes or No ?
Owyes
Yes!
Yess
No !!!
Karena dia cuma hebat dan jago di cover lagu orang tapi ga punya solo gitar ciptaan sendiri seperti tohpati balawan dewa budjana atau fingerstyle lainnya
Kalo utk cover lagu alipbata emang rajanya sih tapi sayang belom bisa bikin karya sendiri dan di sukai orang banyak.
Lah bang alif main gitar hoby cuk bukan kerjaan dia
Before the internet all these players would have been international virtuosos , now they're just commonplace.
careless whisper cover by misko just shown how it's not necessarily need to be fast & furious on your fingerstyle to be awesome & epic
Technically speaking he's the best fingerstyle guitarist on this planet :)))
