  • not good titled but good video

    he plays amazing technique. but i can't say he's the best. is that necessary to call him the best guitarist. the most important is you enjoy the music

  • thanks, very nice

    hes really good, i also like tommy emanuell. there are so many talented players. he may be 'gifted' as pointed out, but he would have spent a large part of his waking hours practicing. many people could reach a high level of skill such as this if they were dedicated, and i mean their whole life. sounds like this guy did!

  • Whitey Man

    Not bad for a pasty faced white casper with no soul or funk. Very efficient, clean playing just ain't enough to get me off. Its nice. Very nice. Like Lemonade.

  • Really awesome

    I love guys who play like this. Reminds me a lot of Brent Mason in a way.

  • In your opinion

    i could name 50 more who are better , but this guy is bloody good ...5*

  • change the title!

    That's a bold accusation to make--he's definately not the best, but he's damn good!!-5 star.

    By truthseekerseven 1237243029
  • WHAT??

    How the hell is this the best guitarist in the world? There's no way. Hasn't the person that named this vid ever heard Dimebag, or kirk hammett, or even hendrix or yngwie malmsteen for christ sake? damn

  • Saw this guy playing in a guitar shop...

    Dons Pawn, Jax FL.....was TOTALLY mesmerized. I'd been playing for a couple of years and was into rock/metal he opened my mind.

    By meldizzle 1191676634
  • nice technique

    interesting how he fingerpicks so fast, using the thumb and fore/middle fingers. I bet he can play the hell out of a banjo too!

    By playguitarsolos 1189476081
  • dude wtf u on about?

    he's a begginer??? wtf. a guy who can't play one chord is a begginer. i dunno if u've noticed. but he's playing more than one chord there. i'm intermediate guitar player. but haven't put anything up yet. i suppose i should do really. see what u ppl think. 5 stars this guy roxz!

  • 2nd Tune?

    Anyone feel like telling me the name of the 2nd song her plays? Sound so familiar...

    By n3cr0 1178625480
    • It sounds like

      With or Without You, by U2

      By DragonW67 1193719670
  • people, wake up!

    what are you talking about, when typing the phrase "best guitarist"??? have you heard of Michael Angelo? he's the FASTEST guitarist. have you heard of Steve Vai? he's the most MELODIC of all virtuosos! so what? neither michael nor vai or anyone else is the best! there is no best! there are great!

    By juwain 1175610562
  • OK

    Ok he is a good guitarist but not the best. If you like this kind of music listen Steve Ray Vaughan and then tell me who is the best

    By mel_guitar_les_paul 1175446866
  • Hey guys

    does any one know the first song

    By dori1990 1174141550
  • how..

    how can he play without any pickups... is it me or aren't there any pickups?! because that thing behind his hand is the extra bridge.. hmm.. tell me if i'm wrong. Otherwhise he isn't playing.

    By Ortix 1170927918
    • pickups

      They're piezoelectric pickups in the bridge, not coil pickups. and yes, he's playing every note himself.

      By malbeau 1171159045
  • . . . . .

    • The Best What?????

      What a stupid ignorant, next time just implied that you like it moran, The best guitar player of the worl till this moment is Paco de Lucia, he is so versatil, he can play rock&roll music (which is not his favorit) folk, tangos, and the best of the best is flamencos, THAT'S A GUITAR PLAYER.

    By yowza 1166762140
    • 13 to 40 seconds

      to be exact.

      By yowza 1166762396
  • very good

    one of the best acoustic guitar players ive ever seen.. but not the best ever.... Stanley Jordan i think is the best

    By matewsbrasil 1166694080
  • I like the U2 tune he played.

    It was good.

    By Joezs 1159976245
  • holy munky..

    i agree with the title but he to me he is the best acoustic guitar player in the world...
    bloody hell, i still cant believe it....

    By tuluks 1156390144
  • You got to be kidding...

    This guy couldn't even get a job at Guitar Center. Ever hear of Danny Gatton or Tommy Emmanuel. Those guys are THE real deal. Check 'em out you won't be disappointed.

    By spellmakk 1151385918
    • Man, I disagree

      Check that 17 min video on metacafe with Doyle and u'll c, what he can do with an acoustic guitar. He's really master skills, I've never seen such as technique as he can do, the voice is extremaly clear, every fraze is perfect. He isn't the fastest guitarist in the world, but he's fast enough to play everything. When someone is fast it doesn't mean, that he's good guitarist. That's why I agree with the title, but I'd add there acoustic and fingerstyle player in the world.
      Best wishes.

      By Olss 1161716068
  • ya

    but not "the best guitarist in the world" lol...

    By bodomchild 1151186303
  • No gimmicks, just talent!!

    Good ol' country pickin chord and lead work from a really talented musician.... A real joy to watch and listen to.. Even if the style of music doesn't float your boat you still have to appreciate his technique..

    By THE WEDDING SINGER 1149123696
    • true

    The best man in the world !!!

    By Speedybabz 1172249414
  • He's VERY good but . . .

    Watch/listen to some Chet Atkins sometime. He's a very good imitator.

    By rcpman 1168361086
  • not the best

    he is a crappy beginner, the best would be either angus young, slash, or van halen

    By Willie333333 1182090249
    • If this is crappy...

      Then 99% of all guitar players might as well throw away their guitars lol.
      It seems like you say he plays crappy only because it's not the style of music you like.

      Anyway I really love this. Reminds me a lot of Tommy Emmanuel, but with a guitar with a bit softer less twangy sound. (I like both sounds at times)
