You also forgot about Kevin Blake Goodwin.... 🤷🏼♂️
When the Instrument and the Player become One....just Magical!
One of the most underated guitarist in youtube, Lucas Brar, solid skill and knowledge.
How good is that! These guys are wonderful musicians. I really enjoyed hearing them play, even it was brief for each one!!
Thank you for this amazing presentation. If I may suggest - Tommy Emmanuel, Al Di Meola, Casper Esmann, Marcin. Considering that the guitar poped into existance around 280 yrs ago, more or less, it is really awsome how many talented guitarists are living in our generation, and the list goes on.
Plenty of new names, great compilation. Thanks.
I would add two more persons: Ulli Bögershausen (Germany), Gabriella Quevedo (Sweden)
Personally, my tops are Tommy Emmanuel and Ulli because they are not only technical on such an extraordinary level but they now how to convoy emotions with their guitar. Also, they have excellent stage presence and are wonderful human beings.
In terms of talent and future, I think Sungha Jung will be one brilliant star. He was shy and didn't show emotions and didn't transport the emotions at first, but he is still so young and gets better and better everyday.
They all are outstanding also in the sense that they have their own songs, not 'just' taking already existing song and make it their own.
Glad to see there are so many brilliant players in the world who inspire and motivate us and bring us joy with their music.
This video and it's predecessor are interesting because most of these are guitarists who are very percussive, using the body and deadened strings of the guitar for "drums", are using a LOT of hammer on & pull off, and tons of harmonics.
So I personally feel that this is a video of "Great Guitarists on CZcams Using Somewhat Unconventional Techniques".
There are so many great acoustic fingerstyle guitarists in the world. My dad is a great acoustic fingerstyle guitarist and through him, I was exposed to many well known and many virtually unknown such artists via records and in person. It's phenomenal how many great guitarists there are in the world; to the point of being overwhelming at times, and too many electric and acoustic "sub-genres" or "subcultures" that it's impossible to nail down anyone who's the greatest. These people (in both videos 1 & 2) are really great though!!! (I can't count that last dude though. He's obviously a really good guitarist, but I'd call him a multi-instrumentalist in that video, given that he was playing a kalimba too. I have a kalimba and it looks easy but its not. Taping it to the top of the guitar doesn't make it part of the guitar. But now I'm splitting hairs. Sorry about that.
All in all, great, great guitarists!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Reed this guy (included in the list) seems to be the one to blame at least partially about the percussive guitar style beginning in the late eighties.
Thank you for posting this. It;s very musically entertaining , with each player displaying different genre, style , taste of their kind of repertoire.Its SUPERBLY VERY NICE.
thank you for putting this together. Really enjoyed them.
This all started and ended with Michael Hedges🎸-and the cat with the best tone in my humble opinion was Pete Huttlinger- I miss them both so much❤️
How about Emil Ernebro and Kent Nishimura (I'm sure there's many more though)

"Alip Ba Ta" where!!🙂
From: Indonesia
My deepest gratitude to each of these incredible artist and Guitar Got Talent!!! It's great videos like this that give musicians a window on the world of incredible talent that we share!!! Excellent work!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Amazing talent from artists I've never heard before using the amazing percussion instrument the guitar is to the max! So great of Guitar Got Talent to create this and I've only heard "Part Two" so far! These prodigies are using every technique in the book and some it seems they've created too!
Nice compilation and i think the list is growing for Part 3. I did miss seeing Phil Keaggy, Pierre Bensusan, Lawrence Juber, and Leo Kottke in your lineup, especially considering the 40 plus years that they have been doing fingerstyle. For the future, Kent Nishimura, so young, but shows tremendous precision, timing, and adeptness with even the intricacy of jazz. And a shout out to those we have lost too soon :( Eric Roche, John Fahey, Davy Graham, John Martyn, Michael Hedges, and of course Chet Atkins.
Good job John! You got all the ones I wanted to mention....plus some more for me to investigate.
Roland Dyens also passed a few years ago, well before his time. He deserves to be more well-known.
Just now starting to pay closer attention to fingerstyle. So far Kent is my favorite. Flat picking is Billy Strings. Electric is Joe B.
YEP! Petteri Sariola...
I miss Lenny Breau on your list, the greatest of them all. He was also Chet Atkins favourite.
Kent Nishimura was missing, from both part 1 or 2 and he deserves a mention for sure.
That is so wonderful! So much stimulating sound! From someone who apparently knows the genre well... For some reason not finding Phil Keaggy in the mix simply speaks to the vast amount of talent in the field. Great job putting these two videos together...
Thanks for this Great Video compilation of Acoustic Guitarists! Each has their own style of playing as well as their own fan base. As someone else mentioned, there are so many Talented Guitarists and Various Musicians in the World, some are unknown/unsung (you all have encountered them within your own sphere of life) that the Greatest Guitarist or Musician is now almost Mute! So, enjoy and Play all of the Music you can in life, it can truly bring happiness and warm the soul!
What a great video! All of the guys were great, but I have to hand 1st prize to Trevor Gordon Hall for his creativity in taping the Kalimba to his guitar! It really was special! While there were a few players who may have more refined chops, I have always taught that in performing music, greatness is never about how well one plays, but how good one sounds . Trevor, the Kalimba and guitar sound great together and the Kalimba/guitar counterpoint was very special! But great job to all! I am jealous of all of you!
i SO agree! the guy found new sounds to incorporate.
Glad to see my friend Preston Reed on your list. Well deserved! He is SICK! Would like to see more of him. Missing Michael Hedges. Wish he was still alive.
Tap on my profile picture and check out my original songs. Playlist titled MountainMan has 12 originals and 1 Jimi cover on acoustic. All videos are 1 take,
no FX, warts and all. I hope you enjoy them.
A great showcase of talent. Thank you. It was very enjoyable.
Loved it, thank you for going to the trouble of putting it all together. They were all amazing. The one I enjoyed the most was the Chinese looking guy, although it was simple it was stunningly beautiful. Thanks again!
You should see the video of Kent nishimura a young guy from Japan. He's the best of them all. Unbelievable talent.
Kent and Naudo are the best I've seen but I'll give Naudo my vote.
You have to check alip ba ta.... I think you will change your mind.... I recomended when hes cover numb by linkin park....
Yes Kent is the best but he's such a humble player some people miss it. But even Tommy Emmanuel said he's the best.
Nice job ! Thanks. Laurence Juber and Jacques Stotzem are for part 3 ?
There are some great performances in this video compilation for sure but I was struck by how samey many of them sounded with all the body tapping percussion and string tapping/striking etc. It's kinda flavour of the moment I guess.
Wow!! There's some great stuff in here. Kudos.
All supremely talented at what they do, but for me percussive playing very quickly starts to sound very samey
Thank you for doing these. I’m sure you can find more great players, and I hope you do. I am not a fan of the tappers, and it would be difficult to listen to that style for more than a song or two, but I was very entertained by all. Thanks for your videos #1 and #2.
Nancy Eaton I’m not a fan of tapping either. However I do appreciate the talent.
I'm with ya'll....not a tappimg fan...how bout that emil enebro...just an al around player...love his taste in arrangements!
Brilliant..Thanks so much, and you did a great information intro on copyrights well done!...So many I have never heard of before so a BIG thank you.
WOW, you all are so blessed and awesome, thank you for your music.
Definitely was able dig up a lot of gems from the comments section.
Did you check out Phil Keaggy at all?
Of all the lovely entertaining fingerstyle guitarists lined up here Peter Finger gets my vote for unique artistry and originality in his playing and compositions..!
Great compilation video, well done,
Sunbeams from Spain,
Clive Davies
Mesmerising - a bit awe inspiring ! But truly entertaining & good to see and hear - good stuff !
Great...really great...but Part 3 needed, starting with Kent Nishimura!
I agree, but I think Kent is an alien, has to be...:) Also needs Kelly Valleau and James Bartholomew, two other outstanding fingerstyle guitarist.
Here in the Philippines,..alip bata, RJ triumfo, jorell prospero...and me...we're the best fingerstyle guitarists...
Modest much, dude?
Indonesian ata c alip bata

Very entertaining and Bravo to all Fingerstyle Guitarists from all over the globe.. Great, diverse styles! 🌏🔊👏👏👏🙂
Dan..Hard Rock Guitarist for 40 years!
bravo to all the guitarists . really great players
"Alip_ba_ta" i'm surprised !! He's not there in neither part 1 and 2, such a shame for a true talent.
Yeah I agree d
This channel dont know the true champion
i agree but by the time this video was made..alip isn't that famous yet...as worldwide...i guess
@@arklekjr lol all guitarist are true champion you guys defend your guitarist.
yeah..i agree bro
Alex Mercy, Marcis Auzins, Kaspars Zemitis, Artem Mironenko, Sergey Bondarenko, The Tough Beard, Josh Turner, Peter Gergely, Andrew Foy, Marina Mirakova, Vasiliy Pastuhov, Igor Gorohov, Gabriella Quevedo, Kelly Value, Pedro Javier Gonsales, Naudo Rodrigues, Eddy van der Meer, Vanja Nauchi, Maxim Chigintsev, Antonis Simixis, Maxim Jarushkin and much more... Hey, bro! You have to make part 3 and part 4 and part 5... 😁
...there's that one guy too.
Alip ba ta
as an accomplished artist and designer, picking up the guitar again after a 50 year hiatus, i really needed to have someone to LOOK UP to and this just buries me. SO encouraging yet defeated ego, thought maybe one day i could..naw, never THIS good! thanks for sharing!
what great work! this is so good.
If you post a Part 3, consider Eva Atmatzidou, Kent Nishimura and Ali Deniz Kardelen.... all great!
Eiro Nareth is my favorite guitarist!
Amazing all that talent.... many years and hours of practice.
To me this is the most creative and best version of guitar playing and I think when people get to this moment of ability their only limits are their imagination
Alip_ba_ta from Indonesia. He's the greatest. Check out his videos!
I think they dont like it cause alip_ba_ta not much for editing his videos.
@@desandrostuanger5118 Yes. You're right. I also figure out the same thing
But he is genuine..
@Adung Dadung gw laler, lo tokainya hahaha
Very true
The only ones here I bother to listen to are Masaki Kishibi. He composes and plays beautiful melodies, no slappy tappy stuff, just nice music. The other is Adam Rafferty, he plays covers but concentrates on the tune and doesn't try to impress with flashy moves.
Excellent thanks for sharing !
Wow , That was fantastic , Thank you .
Yg warga +62 jangan pada ribut ya, tolong dikondisikan, ini ujian, hahaha. Kita semua tau mas alip itu punya bakat luar biasa, yg buat ni video kan cuma berdasarkan pilihan dia sendiri, bukan lembaga resmi dunia. Gw yakin bakat yg dipunya mas alip itu gak kalah luar biasanya sama yg ada divideo ini.
Wkwkwkwkwk setuju bro
Warga +62 santuy bor.. pas video ini di upload bang alif ba ta belum se viral sekarang
Incredibly inspirational.I also learned what a Kalimba is from reading a comment just in time to see one.
it was wonderful they were also fantastic it makes me so upset that I tried so hard and I can't play very well at all after all these years but I love watching them
A few really great fingerstyle guitarists. A whole lotta great bongo players too.
By the way, has Leo retired or something??? I must really be getting old. Not one mention of Kottke, even in the comments.
In his prime, he was almost untouchable
@@TheTinker6871 I was a 12 year-old beginner when the Armadillo album came out. He inspired a lifetime love of the art of fingerstyle guitar. I am still decoding parts of those songs and still stand in awe at his inimitable genius.
Alif_ba_ta..from indonesia
up
Artits not teacher ....

Gak ada teater nya
Wonderful ever one of you! Makes me cry not to have any musical talent.
So smoothing as well as inspirational to the soul
I think there is no best guitarist. Every guitar player is in his own way good.
Exactly, that's why after 30yrs of plinking I've never wanted to or learned a chord, I play when I feel like it, sometimes not for months and sometimes for months at a time, it's like my emotions control it, when I can relax and let my mind go and become one with the guitar (bongos too) then I instinctively pick it up , it's all feel and hats off to those that have the feeling to play enough to be as good as these people
Not me
Alip ba ta is the best in every way because he is Indonesian and all Indonesian is talented
Good guitarists all but I drop everyone that thinks playing the bongos on their gitbox is the way forward. Yes, I am fussy but I can’t recall Chet, Davy or Bert doing it. Richard Smith is pure class.
All the guitarists you showed are very good and thank you for introducing me to a lot of them. However, I had the regret not to see in your selection Jacques Stotzem of Belgium and Patrice Jania of France who are also excellent. Maybe you do not know them. Thank you for this beautiful video. Friends of France, Didier.
Very enjoyable experience and thanks for that.
Justin Johnson is an amazing blues finger style guitarist
Thanks for posting this. I agree with a few of your choices however the majority of your selections seem to reflect a predilection towards percussive guitar in open tuning which I find somewhat gimmicky and not truly indicative of mastery of the guitar itself. I suggest you listen to other contemporary guitarists such as Emil Ernebro from Sweden; Laurence Juber; Eddie Van der Meer; and, Michael Chapdelaine for comparison. That said, there are a host of other historically great guitarists that deserve attention but are too numerous to mention... (Atkins, J. Reed, Bensusan, DeGrassi, Hedges, Mize, Knowles, Dykes, Campbell, Renborn, Simpson, Gerhard, Taylor, Clark....to name just a few!)
@Timothy Lee , I suspect that virtually none of these players have ever listened to Elizabeth Cotten, or Brownie McGhee, or Mississippi John Hurt, and so on; certainly nobody here, except for
Richard Smith, has learned anything from Doc Watson's playing!. Much less Jerry Reed or Chet Atkins or Lenny Breau. Hell, I was listening to Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Preston Reed and Adrian Legg before many of the guitarists in this video compilation were even born! I've also seen Richard Thompson and Martin Simpson play live a number of times, those are guys who deliver a song. Anybody remember *songs*?
Good to see Alex De Grassi mentioned in a post. Amazing player with some lovely pieces. Couldn't agree more too with your comments about percussive guitar - a lot of flash but not enough substance and gets old very quickly IMO. Very overused techniques that look impressive but are not that hard to pull off. I wish people put less stock into that stuff.
Hope your able to put a part 3 together!!
Never thought I’d hear a rendition of “Beat It” I would enjoy.
This shows guitar playing has become much more percussive, improvisational and more quirky because each person has their own way of doing their thing. It also shows the tremendous influence of the cla3ssical guitar and its right hand finger style. If this video represents the best, i will choose the classical guitarist as more a more disciplined, methodical, well establised technique which is 2nd to none and whose repertoire is vast. Classical guitar still is the king of the guitars. These guys remind me of street basketball players, each with their own little tricks but none would make it in the NBA. There's a whole new crop of young classical guitarists all over the world whose skills are unsurpassed. The players in this video are probably the best in there style and are in their own right very talented and sound great.
There are few guitarists who are self taught and they have their own style while picking which i find it creative and a new possibility
Classical guitar repertoire is actually tiny so gets very boring when you hear the same few pieces over and over. I also dispute your claim that classical player's skills are unsurpassed, that's nonsense. They are no more skilled than any of these guys.
@@stephen25uk if that video represents the best players of that style then they are not equal to classical guitarists. The classical guitar repertoire is massive.
@@davidlarondelle2326
Many and much of Your comments are very well stated and have good basis.
There are some of these "finger style"guitarists who show and can be seen of their more classical training.
Of the younger players in these two videos (and some who go similar levels but missing) Marcin Patrzalek has extensive classical training, development and mastery along with Spanish and Flamenco. There are videos of Marcin performing intricate classical guitar pieces among his fellow students. (The clip of Marcin in video part 1, is from a few years ago at about age 15, now about 19. Notice his guitar then has the signature of Tommy Emanuel on it. Marco too has seems to have such classical training too and expanded into this more experimental form of combined finger style with percussive and playing multiple voices in harmony, synergy, synchrony and synchronization. As an example Marcin plays an arrangement of Beethoven's 5th in which he is combining the orchestra onto one instrument. Perhaps view videos of Marcin, Marco, Tommy Emanuel and other similar artists, musicians, guitarists.)
ALL of these guitarists shown in these two videos are fantastic and enjoyable for me while many of these guitarists shown here who use percussive style additions seem to be more simply additions to the beat, often those playing modern acoustic music. While a few guitarists shown are accomplishing much more simultaneously in conveying the music also transmitting feeling, emotion and meaning, also using the instrument to convey multiple voices.
@@stephen25uk : That’s bs! The classical repertoire is constantly being added to, and there are plenty of classical guitar players/composers who can throw in a range of ‘ party tricks ‘ to push the boundaries of classical further when deemed necessary, not including classical and flamenco guitarists in any of these lists is a huge oversight
Hammering on every other note so you can beat your guitar like it owes you money is not finger style playing. These guys are good in their own right, but the best finger style guitarists you will find in the classical world.
Nah man. Rock guitar is where it's at. Ya know the ones with electric guitars and huge amps and plenty of pedals
all of them are amazing Guitarists,.
Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel have been a huge inspiration for many in the last few decades... Good to see the Acoustic guitar in the spot light :)
Richard Smith - a guitar genius.
Personally I like when the guiter is not played like a percussion instrument .been waiting for Tommy or like in the list .
But the guitar is a percussion instrument. It's not a string instrument as you dont play it with a bow, it is like a piano you hold.
However, I agree, this percussive style that's taking over what is finger style playing is a little much. It's good, but it's not finger style.
Likes a guitar not played like percussion, but yet is waiting for Tommy Immanuel, who is one of the greatest at playing his guitars like percussion....
Thank you for including Adam Raferty. I don't know if he is completely human or not-of-this-world but he is a bonafide genius and deserves to be on any list of best finger style guitarists - Also, I checked out the Part One and low and behold there are Tommy Emanuel, Andre Dufour, Don Ross, Andy McKee and John Gomm (But no Pierre Bensusan, You can't have everything).
so many talented people....
They're all amazing but fingerstyle guitar doesn't reduce to percusive guitar IMHO.
yeah.. just fingerstyle as simple as used to be.. not complicated additional tools..
just flows with yr skills.. talents.. n soul of music..
When did the guitar become a percussion instrument? Did I miss that change?
horrible indeed... these guys sound all the same...
I hate it. It’s not fingerstyle either. All sounds the same and it all sounds shit.
Asombroso Video,Gracias!!!!!
I noticed these fingerstyle guitarist all play in open tunings. I applaud any musician's capabilities and truly admire some of these open tunings.
Having said that, I would only point out after a lifetime (50-plus years) in the music field, that there are 2 types of musicians. There are performers that play their specific style of playing and that's is the bulk of what they know.
The other type of musician is the one who is able to play all the various styles of music and isn't limited to one style or one technique.
I've seen guys that totally AMAZE me with what they play, it's totally awesome. But when it's over, it's all they know how to play.
Even so, I applaud both types of musicians. The point is to PLAY music, as my mentor taught me: We're all bound to learn to play music at some point in our evolution.
Alip ba ta
Where is Leo Kottke??? He's not only one of the best, he is also one of the funniest.
Agreed. Not a single slide player here
Agreed. Kotke is on consistent rotation around here. Great collection, though.
czcams.com/video/CJ-_qd161iM/video.html
Anjiiiiir! Kelas Dewa semua nih! Awesooooomee!
THEY MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY... WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT¡¡
Pierre Bensusan is alive and well...where is he?
Mostly open tunings and a lot of percussive thumping, aka guitar diarrhea. Gets boring in a couple minutes. Having said that, I will admit, there are a few gems in here.
I know Right?
yup. so gimmicky
funny i feel the same way
Check out Alip_Ba_Ta
Maybe u ll find some different 😊
The only guitar bongo-er I like is John Gomm. All of this could be a new generation gap. I think it's a way for young people to not sound like Merle Travis or James Taylor.
Il y a pléthore de guitaristes de ouf sur youtube, que tous guitariste en herbe s'en inspire sans se décourager, il y a un début à tout. La clé c'est le travail de l'instrument petit à petit. Bon courage!
Everything is good, they play full of appreciation. And certainly each has advantages and disadvantages,
Richard Smith is a monster!
Yes, i agree....versatile in mamy styles...also love the arrangements of emil enebro..
I love acoustic guitar but that tapping stuff reminds me of Prog rock in the seventies when Punk came in to save rock n roll from half baked poetry and meaningless music.
Freight train still sounds great today as does classical music but does this other stuff actually move anyone or is it more a case of guitar masturbation.
Lol e too and you're right it's very pretentious.seems to be something done by millennium kids.
AMEN!!! I guess it takes talent to do it, but that beating and knocking on the guitar don't do it for me!!!
Well, it moves me. So that is that.
I guess everyone has their own taste in music / preffered style. I like it most of the time.
I can agree, that some players overplay it, a simple beat in the background or the slap on the low strings can sometimes be good, but only add that stuff if it serves the song, not for the sake of doing it.
Hope you understand, not native speaker
Yeah because punk was so deep and meaningful lol The prog era produced some of the best music ever made IMO but I agree with the second half of your comment.
1ths what I'm talking about it... wow.. the real fingerstyle master...
So. . So. . .Awesomely Nice.
Gabriella Quevedo should be on this list.
YES, have your seen kent nishimura
Actually, the vast majority of these players sound almost exactly the same. Tune, slap, slide. Amazing technique, but they end up sounding the same. Masaki was lovely though. (Richard Smith too.)
That’s rather true. It’s a genre thing, created in my mind by Hedges’s innovations. Who knows how all these players - skilled as they are - would sound next to him had he endured? It’s the same question as with Hendrix or Duane Allman or SRV in their zones. And then there’s players like John Hammond Jr and Keb Mo etc, who keep a style alive, maybe playing it “better” or even more soulfully than those who created it. And guys like John Fahey and Leo Kottke brought the instrument to compositional and thematic places it had never been. Same with Robin Bullock and his iterations of Celtic sounds and rhythms. All of these GOAT things are bullshit anyway. Just fodder for all the fans and advocates to argue about. You never hear any of the great ones arguing about this nonsense. Play, listen, smile, love. It’s all good.
Só feras! Valeuuu 😄
EXCELLENT Job Thank you
Also watch my first compilation, first video of 'Best Fingerstyle Guitarists In The World - Part 1', thank you
Where are Pierre Bensusan and Joe Robinson?
And Paco Delucia?
The Great fingerstyle Guitarist in the World still Alip Ba Ta.... He just a worker with impossible finger, guitar local and cigarette in the fret...?😌😅😆🤣
I disagree, he is great but there's a lot better than him
Up
Alip ba ta channel, check it..
Ive checked it already. And alexanders skill is so far better
I think you need to go to the doctor to check your ears , there may be ants @ there.. 😅🤣😝😂🙏😇
Wow those are some great players 👍
Very good collection. Thank you.
Only missing John Butler and Gabriella.
alip_ba_ta
Richard Smith was the first deserving player to be called fingerstyle. Percussive, concussive, or whatever you want to call the majority of the other players, is not fingrstyle.
It's all still great stuff!
Richard Smith is not only good but his music moves me.Can you honestly say any of that tapping,harmonic stuff actually moves you?takes great skill but it's so very boring as it doesn't go anywhere
I agree 100%
I mean fingerstyle is all about playing (accurateley) a melody with a bass/harmony line. The rest may be impressive but it's not fingerstyle playing (Sorry for my poor english)
Also he's a Brit, not from USA.
Glad to see you found Martin Tallstrom for your second video, he is an excellent player without the gimmicks, thought I might have seen smokin' Joe Robinson, maybe video three.
