Improvisation on a classic Ballad! You all should know this one! Just figured i record a version with my musicman Ernieball Musicman John Petrucci Standard 7 Line6 POD X3 Live VPICK Dimension
You have something very special. Something not many guitarists on here have. Yes they may well posses the skills, the effort to practice, the equipment and the sound but they do not have what you have and that is the natural ability to connect with the listener, transmitting emotion from your brain to theirs via your fingertips. You are a naturally talented musician up there with the very few. Don't let anyone say otherwise, if they do they are only unhappy within themselves that they cannot achieve what you have young man. Take a bow.
"...you have and that is the natural ability to connect with the listener, transmitting emotion from your brain to theirs via your fingertips..." That's exactly what I was thinking about him! Totally agree with you!
I am second generation guitarist have played for 30 years and what you say about this dude is absolutely correct my friend, emotional content Is everything, indeed it can exist without technique but it doesn't work the other way around btw obviously this dude has both aspects in spades, my faith is restored!
Guthrie is amazing, but I'd love to hear his heart a little more in his playing, rather than his obvious skill in interpreting the melody. I just get lost in listening to Dhalif, and I think that's pretty rare with virtuoso guitarists.
K. David Took the words out of my mouth! I almost cry when I listed it darkest dreams. I learned it and I am going to preform it for my school talent show
Today, I'm here watching your videos because of the one called "Worst guitar player of 2016", and I'm so grateful my curiosity brought me here, you are really amazing...I dare to say that you don't play the guitar...you make love to it! It is really a pleasure to hear you play, and an inspiration to me...Best regards from México! And obviously, I follow your videos from now on! Good night!
I literally wept from the shear perfection I was hearing. Nothing was over stated or understated. Im still fighting back the tears. Wow just wow! Man that was beautiful simply beautiful. I wish I could make such beautiful sounds. Perfection!!!!! I was so moved I didn't want it to end!
I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you Laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know I know times are changing It's time we all reach out For something new, that means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain If you know what I'm singing about up here Come on, raise your hands Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you I only want to see you In the purple rain
A friend sent me here to watch this. So glad!!! I've been playing guitar for 15 years and I cannot even touch this kind of stuff. You've got the fingers man. Great interpretation. This video should have many more views.
eclap78 Took the words out of my mouth! I almost cry when I listed it darkest dreams. I learned it and I am going to preform it for my school talent show
Dude , You Are A Legend in the Making . You were Born to rock my friend & From Jus Randomly clicking on one of your videos one day cause i was bored , you influenced me to get a guitar myself and rock On Like You My friend 🙏✊✊
I came to this site because I was looking for a solo lesson on this song. After hearing you, I am better off just listening!!! You are so talented and a real pleasure to listen to.
Are you kidding me ?????? This is world class 100% , the phrasing , control and technique was nailed perfectly , full of expression and poise and he played it seemingly effortless. I liked his tone and he took the emotion where it needed to go throughout the song and it just did it for me. Well done young man , well done and keep pushing your limits and you'll go far ;)
Jesus this guy...flawless! Just an amazing talent! This is something your born with. I would pay you whatever you want just to teach me the basics. Incredible my guy! 2:16-2:52 is my favorite part. Keep playing that part over and over.
over all of the cover and versions of this song available in the internet , this one has something really special , a strange smoothnes in your playing , a beautiful soulfulness , really amazing work
A lot of these guys who play the instrumental tribute to Prince have been highly influenced by John Petrucci. His finger prints have been on every version I have heard. This one is no exception. BTW, that is a good thing. You take your influences do what connects with you and add your own soul to it. Well done!
I spent 12 years of my life to learn this instrument but it is untouchable to me even today and I become crazy when I listen this tune from Dhalif sir.
Phenomenal playing! Very tasteful and heartfelt...like you're singing on the guitar. You have some monster chops! Thanks for sharing your talent! I'm inspired! Cheers!
You uploaded this like 6 years ago so I'm guessing you probably won't see this but anyway, Just wanted to say I love your solos Dhalif your note selection is gorgeous and your voicing is like cherry on the cake. Thanks for your uploads mate love em.
Wow I only posted that an hour ago! You are the one we should all be saying thanks to not you saying thanks to us. We just get to appreciate your years of practice and study and more practice. And going off your ability I'd be inclined to think there are many years of practice and study behind you. Just don't get any better coz that'd just be showing off lol.
The LEGEND that was Prince.....COULDN'T have played it better himself kiddo! Well done, you are a master axeman and don't let anybody ever tell you otherwise!!! :D
Isn't this just the best thing about you tube. To be able for us to watch and listen and appreciate the natural ability and skill of artists...musical or otherwise. You have worked hard and aspired to be better and certainly deserve all the positive comments. I'm grateful for the opportunity to listen to you. Thanks.
Man you are an amazing guitarist, and I'm actually learning a lot from watching your videos.. I've been playing about six years but I am not this good, I'm getting there though. You just keep up the good work.
I know I am the most recent commenter on this every year, but this is so gooood!!! This video motovated me to pick up the guitar again when covid started, and now I can actually play sections of this. Thank you guitar brother!!! cheers from Texas!!!!
Absolutely amazing! Definitely NOT the worst guitar player. That was very well composed and truly inspired. Very soulful arrangement. Congrats young man!
I love your guitar playing dude, you have somthing really special! So much feeling put into your playing, just amazing! It's almost like you tell a story of emotions in your playing! You are an amazing guitarist!
+Thanh Nguyen Dhalif is absolutely a stunning emotional player.. It's obvious who his influences are and he has in such a eloquent way captured the best them.. Then he lays it out here for us to marvel upon and our minds and thoughts journey beyond the efforts that my simple mind could ever explain.. Beyond the Zeta Reticula capturing images that the Hubble space telescope has ever revealed.. The imagination travels well beyond this dimensional realm of existence.. Acquiescing to the journey of emotional divinity.... No drugs ever needed, it's the frequency, vibrational transcendence of soul/spirit.. Well said Thanh Nguyen, to your rhetoric I concur..
This is not my first time watching this video, this is just so so damn Perfect it's unbelievable!!!! Whenever I wish to feel something passionate I load this video up and I sit back headphones on and I'm off into a sonic Utopia! In music one of the very key elements is not only to when to play a note, that's a given the true geniuses know when there should be no note struck. The challenge of knowing when to play a chord or a single note, to give it some vibrato or to mute it etc is all in a days work when a guitarist plays a piece but what separates the "Masters" from the " Good " players, I believe is to know when not to play, when to give a piece room to breathe to give a note some juxtaposition from its ringing out to going quite. This young guitarist has this ability, thumbs gift in spades. Yes there is a great deal of articulation absolutely but there is just as much precise placement of rests. I am just so amazed by it.Thes moments of rests tend to aid a musical piece build up angst, it lends itself to a build up of expectation. Thankfully this guitarist doesn't disappoint when delivering the result of this "building up" if you will. I just go off into another demission listening to this piece it is wrought with emotion, passion, power and beauty! I must sound like a fanboy but it's not a usual thing to find someone this good at playing with this depth of emotion of feeling! There are many even so called master guitarist that don't have this aspect in their craft. This guitarist here is special. Godspeed!!!
OMG bro, gua sumpah cair dgr lu main der... i feel like i somewhere on another new planet and floating around it.. tak pernah aku rasa camni.. but thanks for making me feel this way bro.. Harap sangat ko dapat buat guitar workshop clinic kat Music Faculty UiTM Shah Alam Mmg terbaik der...ikhlas dari aku.. Salute and keep up the good work.
Bravo my brother - you have more of David Gilmore than anything else in my opinion - you have the chops, but your ability to fuse emotion with your playing is more important than "shredding" Keep playing on and Godspeed!!!
I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you Laughing in the purple rain

Thank you so much
Son, you brought me to tears with this! You will own the world someday! Bravo!
dhalif is one of the greatest guitarist on youtube. So amazing. That was awesome my friend.
guthrie govan bud. Best guitarist on youtube and in the world.
Thanks Paul for letting me know about Guthrie. He is absolutely great. I'm a new fan. God bless
Guthrie is amazing, but I'd love to hear his heart a little more in his playing, rather than his obvious skill in interpreting the melody. I just get lost in listening to Dhalif, and I think that's pretty rare with virtuoso guitarists.
King David I agree! go check him out with OSV.....it's amazing!

the guitar is singing!!!! damn sweet
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
Come on, raise your hands
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
I only want to see you
In the purple rain
This is INSANE !
Recomposed of Prince’s Purple Rain in Joe Satriani’s style. Awesome!

2:16-2:52 is my favorite part. Keep playing that part over and over.
Awesome! It just kept getting better and better. Your tone and technique were super but your feeling and emotion were the best part. Flawless.
over all of the cover and versions of this song available in the internet , this one has something really special , a strange smoothnes in your playing , a beautiful soulfulness , really amazing work
Haha this is insane! Up there with Petrucci's version for sure.
i love how you play such a melodic song wearing a megadeth shirt haha
you rock bro
Absolutely beautiful playing man. I wish to be atleast half as good on guitar as a musician like you.
Keep it up!

BTW, that is a good thing. You take your influences do what connects with you and add your own soul to it. Well done!
Love the way you play with emotion. Prince would have loved that.
Bro I want to get to this level awesome job. Thank you for this💯🔥
I spent 12 years of my life to learn this instrument but it is untouchable to me even today and I become crazy when I listen this tune from Dhalif sir.
