      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?

    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!

    David Gilmour is a 10/10. His solos and feel are insane.

    • @saintofnowhere
      @saintofnowhere Před 4 lety +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.

      Muse - Fury: really crazy digitech whammy and big muff riff recorded on a seven string manson guitar + that really heavy RATM influenced middle eight.

      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).

      @@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.

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.

    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.

      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.

    • @TonyStewartKY
      @TonyStewartKY Před 6 lety

      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.

      Them bones
      Grind
      Rain when I die
      Put you down
      Dam that river
      Sunshine
      We die young

      Dirt
      I actually think Tyler barely knows AIC songs tho, so that explains why he probably doesn't recall any of these besides Them bones

    Larry LaLonde of primus is a super underrated guitar player. The reason for this is he is often overshadowed by their bass driven sound and of course les claypool’s huge stage persona. Damned blue collar tweekers show his creative use of natural and pinch harmonics.

    • @thegreatcerebral
      @thegreatcerebral Před 5 lety

      It's crazy too because they way that band is almost everything he plays is a lead and fill parts because Les is the driving sound. I would love to see someone dissect Primus isolated guitar parts.
      It's cool to note he was trained by Joe Satriani.

    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.

    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.

    If I remember correctly, the story of Tony Iommi's finger caps was that he used to hold a day job in a factory. The day he got the news that Black Sabbath was signed, he got excited and careless around a shearing machine, and it chopped off his fingertips. The finger caps were only half of his solution to playing again, the other being that SG. With the caps on, he couldn't bend as far as he used to, so he needed to maximize his advantages by looking for something both easy to play, and could hold a flat tuning really well, and the SG absolutely delivered, while ending up being a major contributor to that notoriously heavy sound. I could be off on the details, but that's the story as I remember hearing it on some music documentary years ago :P
