Wow!! Just being on a list (not even this list - any list!!!) is a crazy honour. Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm speechless (almost a first for me!!)
Mark knopfler is literally the best rhythm guitar player by your definition dude. Its so sad that noone recognizes the pure brilliance of his playing. He sings and plays really awesome too. Hes the most humble yet best guitar player
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!
Can I just say that a six for Knopfler is an utter misrepresentation. I'm not the biggest fan of Dire Straits' music, but as a guitarist Knopfler is one of those rare guitar players where the music just seems to flow from his hands without thinking.
Buckethead is a 10. I witnessed him live and he has a very unique ability to absolutely put you into a trance, I’ve never felt the same listening to any other guitarist and I’ve seen many
@@an_38kitkashyap Tom Morello might be more technically advanced, but when it comes to playing "Music", where the persons playing has to catch someones attention, and can feel the playing, Mark Knopfler might be the best guitarist ever.

@@mvhax2ftw352 lol, it's way more harder to play Mark's music than Tom's. That "wow" sign is a symbol of shock for me. Don't know how you got that wrong. No-one in the comments did. 😂
Jerry Cantrell is a super underrated guitar. His song writing alone makes him one the best of all time. But what really sets him apart, his tone. He has perhaps the most tasteful tone of all the 90s Seattle bands.
Please listen to Dire Straits again. Their complete discography is a flawless, glory showcase of the guitar. Not a single lame song. Also some stuff of Knopflers solo career is definetly worth checking out.
Sultans of Swing (Live at Alchemy) , Tunnel of Love and Telegraph Road (both studio version) are my "trinity" of the guitar, one of the main reasons I picked up 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.
David Gilmour is a 10/10. His solos and feel are insane. And he has memorable solos like Comfortably Numb, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have A Cigar, and Another Brick in The Wall Part 2 and he has very memorable riffs like Money, Wish You Were Here, Run Like Hell, and Another Brick In The Part 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.
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.
Fala Crow disagree over the virtuoso part mate, there are many virtuosos who have mastered all kinds of techniques. Not saying they are all like that, but there are unbelievable virtuosos. Listen to Andy James and see what I mean.
@B Dub How hard it is for you to accept that people have different tastes and preferences.If it doesn't match with you you automatically judged him and said he hasn't listened to his stuff.I have literally listened to most of pink Floyd's albums and love them but still I prefer bands like dream theater ,petrucci and I think petrucci is a much better player but that's just a personal opinion.Come on man ,how hard it is to accept and appreciate different opinions.
Do you understand opinions ?People have different opinions. Why it is so hard for some people to accept that everyone will not like the same fucking thing.I would rate mark a 4 out of 10 if I have to and I have listened to most of dire's albums.
Nathan Ross he is not wrong in fact he is absolutely right tyler shouldnt have rated the guitar players he hadnt listened to instead of judging their guitar playing based on their looks
David Gilmour 8/10 Brian May 8/10 Dimebag 8/10 J. Hetfield 8/10 Tony Iommi 8/10 Buckethead 7/10 Slash 7/10 John Frusciante 7/10 Mark Knopfler 6/10? All less than Tom Morrello and Tosin Abasi? Done All of them deserve 10/10 DG BM and DD Deserve 11/10 Although thanks for mentioning John Mayer though.
I can agree with Buckethead, but how the fuck does James Hetfield deserve a 10/10 ? 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.

@@joshuahuf9747 just because he makes dumb faces as a joke doesn't mean he's not funny or not a good guitar player. It is comedy, just not your kinda comedy. But calling him a freak just because his faces make you uncomfy, does make you a condescending judgmental dickhead. Try not to be a prick in life going forward, thank you
E.g. Muse - Animals: All the guitar solos are just complete feel. No unnecessary digitech whammy pedals, no crazy fuzz, just really smooth guitar playing recorded on a strat etc. Muse - Fury: really crazy digitech whammy and big muff riff recorded on a seven string manson guitar + that really heavy RATM influenced middle eight. Both absolutely amazing songs, both approached using two completely different guitar mentalities.
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).
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.
I’d honestly put buckethead at number one bar maybe people like Jimi Hendrix who have undeniable legendary status. Buckethead does just about everything on guitar, he does emotional ballads, crazy shredding like no other, epic blues licks, brutal metal riffs, creative stuff that is just buckethead. To me he’s on another level when it comes to the guitar.

Haha its actually in the description but i copied it so I could easily go at the time where my favorites are. In phones you cant go there through description
DAVE MUSTAINE who's an awesome guitar player (way better than 8/10 Hetfield) and is a perfectionist that goes through highly skilled bandmates like hotcakes said, "BUCKETHEAD Is Probably Twice As Good A Guitar Player As Me And SLASH (7/10) Combined".
I'm surprised nobody said Daron Malakian. He isn't "proficient" per se (or at least his so-far published records. A few days more and we'll find out), but he certainly has a memorable tone that you can really recognize.
How didn’t people give photos of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani and Marty Friedman? Like how! There are so many more amazing guitarists missing!
HENDRIX would be a 1000000000000/10 Hendrix is always #1 as a hendrix fanatic and I mainly only play hendrix and without hendrix i would have never picked up a guitar.. with that being said I like seeing other guitarist getting talked about I love all guitar players if ur picking up an instrument and having fun that's all that matters. but its cool seeing guitarist that we don't talk much about.
He said that he probably wouldn't recognize Buckethead's playing if he heard it. That's amazing to me because Buckethead has a very distinct style and sound.
Lee anderton and John frusciante are ranked the same and both of them ranked higher than mark knopfler... I know it's opinion but c'mon man that's just crazy
+Krista Mehanikova frusciante 100% deserves a 7+ and lee could definitely get up in that range sure I agree with you there. But in my humble opinion, if frusciante is a 7, the captain deserve a 5/6 and knopfler deserves a 8/9. But hey, that's the beauty of opinions, we don't all have to think The same
Mark Knopfler live performances were just awesome, the way he was playing a 5-minute version solo of Sultans of Swing or other songs. His licks' phrases are unique to listen, especially for the last solo of his song "Tunnel of Love". Proof a solo can sound nice without playing it fast. Just by the sound of the guitar you know it's him.
"I don't recall as many memorable riffs coming out of him" He said that about Jerry Cantrell, couldn't you have thought of a better way to offend me 😑.
Ya, that was a bummer. My personal top memorable JC riffs: Anger rising It ain't like that Them bones Grind Rain when I die Put you down Dam that river Sunshine We die young Heaven beside you 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
DA BASEGREY Better yet all the sudden Mark Knopfler fans. REEEEEEE MUH SULTANS OF SWING. Jesus its an opinion, I thought Dimebag should have been higher but Im not bitching about it in every fucking post.
Leo B bro what are you even talking about they had one of the greatest rock voices of all time fronting the band with one of the meanest guitar tones and riffs anyone had heard at that time
I know this is subjective and all that, but I think even Lee Andertons would be offended if he knew he was being ranked higher than Mark Knopfler by someone
You should do a series kind of like this where we can send you videos of us playing guitar, and you can give us some tips/ideas on how and where we can improve
man in the box, we die young, them bones, dirt, get born again, rooster, what the hell have i, grind, nutshell, again, brother, no excuses, i can’t remember, love hate love, rain when i die, god am, sludge factory, dam that river all of these cantrell riffs are better than anything mccready and especially cobain have ever done, kim thayil/chris cornell and jerry cantrell are the best guitarists from the grunge scene and not taking anything away from kurt and mike
I said the same thing. To put cobain above jerry from a guitarist standpoint is pure lunacy. But hey this guy put mark Tremonti above mark knophler.....he lost major points there.
I know right! Jerry gets a 9 from me. He is such an amazing songwriter and also writes amazing riffs. Simple doesn't always mean bad (when soloing). Jerry had fucking soul! That's what matters!
His solos might sound simple, but try playing them yourself. Crazy some of the stuff he does. I mean it's still simple, but to sound the way he does it is not an easy task.
Then the fact he starts to say that Cobain was a tier above...(if you don't know wtf you're talking about, why pretend you do? you just look like an idiot) Kurt Cobain was not much more than a mediocre guitar player. Fantastic Artist, Average guitarist.
adam cunningham he got a lot less giving as the video went on he was being less critical at the beginning I was triggered at the amount of guitarists that were only as good as Lee
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.
don't get me wrong i completely agree and in my opinion he shouldn't have even rated guitar players based on their looks just because he didn't know them.
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.
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.
Surprised that Dave mustaine, and chuck schuldiner weren’t included. Best composers of metal IMHO Glad Plini got some love at least. Also Adam Jones is a unique talent.
Myanmar Media Light hell fucking Yeah at the start of the vid he said their creativity and shit and buckethead can do anything on guitar and plays so many styles and makes amazing sounds with it and i could reconize buckethead a mile away
Ye that was a disappointment, he should try listening to more bucket there's some absolutely unspeakably beautiful songs with low views and his technical mastery probably could barely be improved upon
Buckethead has probably written more songs than almost any other guitarist. His song writing ability does not get enough credit. He can really play any style and in such creative abstract ways....while wearing a mask and a bucket lol
I agree with you on most of your opinions, but in my mind Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, because his playing is extremely melodic with great timing. He is also very versatile, playing rock, but also folk and blues. You should definitely check out the Alchemy Live Album by Dire Straits, you miss something if you just define Mark Knopfler by Sultans. This might just be personal opinion, because he brought me into rock and guitar, though.
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.
Layne actually wrote the guitar parts to angry chair. I'm pretty sure the only part Jerry wrote was the solo which is fucking amazing. Layne should have picked up the guitar more often.
My main cinch is that he said he didn’t have a lot of memorable riffs when he wrote greats ones like in sunshine, we die young, and almost any song on facelift
Feeling triggered? Me too. I mean, how could Mark Knopfler get a 6/10? WTF! 0:01

Do you understand opinions ?People have different opinions. Why it is so hard for some people to accept that everyone will not like the same fucking thing.I would rate mark a 4 out of 10 if I have to and I have listened to most of dire's albums.
Mark Knopfler 6/10? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
RemusRock OH NO, HOW DARE HE HAVE AN OPINION REEEEEEE.
Why do he rate him if he knows only sultans of swing?
Nathan Ross he is not wrong in fact he is absolutely right tyler shouldnt have rated the guitar players he hadnt listened to instead of judging their guitar playing based on their looks
Vladimir Dj AND nobody gives a shit about you
David Gilmour 8/10
Brian May 8/10
Dimebag 8/10
J. Hetfield 8/10
Tony Iommi 8/10
Buckethead 7/10
Slash 7/10
John Frusciante 7/10
Mark Knopfler 6/10?
All less than Tom Morrello and Tosin Abasi?
Done
All of them deserve 10/10
DG BM and DD Deserve 11/10
Although thanks for mentioning John Mayer though.
Abasi technically is probably better then all of them bar buckethead. Technically only of course
The Dank Soviet yeah Tosin kills anyone here, but they’re all pretty iconic and uniquely talented
I can agree with Buckethead, but how the fuck does James Hetfield deserve a 10/10 ? 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.
Hetfield is fine at 8. I thought Morello would get 10.
@@awesome420ication Morello 10 ? Really ? Same level of skill and creativity as Steve Vai and John Petrucci ? No way.
Are you serious? Jerry Cantrel hasn’t made any memorable riffs? Listen again my man. Love your videos though
He really did Jerry wrong on this one my mans a rock god.
@@yuritarded4774 honestly he said that he doesn't think of him as THE grunge guitarist which I get but like c'mon man alice in chains was the consummate grunge band when you get down to it
Jim Root definitely deserved way more than a 4 :/
I'm a huge Jim Root fan, I'm even thinking about getting one of his signature Tele.
But compared to the likes of Petrucci and Satriani.
Damn.
Sorry but mick is better guitarist
His Tele is one of two signature guitars I’ve played that actually sound something like the actual guitar it’s based on.
@@bassnoob8214 Imo i think jim is slightly a better lead player of maybe i just like his like his leads but mick rythms are like a fucking tank just heavy and awesome
I think jim root deserved at least a 6

Feel vs tech. I don't care. If it sounds good it is good.
THANK YOU. JUST...
THANK YOU
E.g.
Muse - Animals: All the guitar solos are just complete feel. No unnecessary digitech whammy pedals, no crazy fuzz, just really smooth guitar playing recorded on a strat etc.
Muse - Fury: really crazy digitech whammy and big muff riff recorded on a seven string manson guitar + that really heavy RATM influenced middle eight.
Both absolutely amazing songs, both approached using two completely different guitar mentalities.
"If it sounds good it is good" I like this way of thinking
THANK YOU. JUST...
THANK YOU
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).
It is so dissapointing that everyone forgets Django Reinhardt
SavageDutchman ikr he is the earliest guitarist that really shred
MAN THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY. Respect
Rpz les français mdr, seul guitariste français connu
or guys like wes montgomery and charlie christian
No one thought of Hendrix either what the hell
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.
I’d honestly put buckethead at number one bar maybe people like Jimi Hendrix who have undeniable legendary status. Buckethead does just about everything on guitar, he does emotional ballads, crazy shredding like no other, epic blues licks, brutal metal riffs, creative stuff that is just buckethead. To me he’s on another level when it comes to the guitar.
Agreed! His mastery on the guitar is on another level!!
Him and Guthrie Govam

Prak Oh Yes! Guthrie Govan and Buckethead imo are the best guitarists of all time

Where is Jimi Hendrix?
Sonit Rana if
He shuld of atleast looked up Del Riego. That guys an 8 atleast
czarek czernecki Hendrix defies mere mortal ranking.
Buckethead is way beyond ones imagination can go ,he can play soulfully and yet shred anyone into bits
He should be a 50/10
AGREED - 7/10 for Buckethead?! Wow you low-balled that one. Wonder what MAB would get on this list 5/10?!
Buckethead > Steve vai
Someone who doesn’t agree listen to look up there or coupons by buckethead
DAVE MUSTAINE who's an awesome guitar player (way better than 8/10 Hetfield) and is a perfectionist that goes through highly skilled bandmates like hotcakes said, "BUCKETHEAD Is Probably Twice As Good A Guitar Player As Me And SLASH (7/10) Combined".
I think you shouldn't have rated guitarists you're not familiar with
You gave Matt Bellamy an 8/10. That's what matters.
I'm surprised nobody said Daron Malakian. He isn't "proficient" per se (or at least his so-far published records. A few days more and we'll find out), but he certainly has a memorable tone that you can really recognize.
Daron is probably one of my favorite guitarists

How didn’t people give photos of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joe Satriani and Marty Friedman?
Like how! There are so many more amazing guitarists missing!
HENDRIX would be a 1000000000000/10 Hendrix is always #1 as a hendrix fanatic and I mainly only play hendrix and without hendrix i would have never picked up a guitar.. with that being said I like seeing other guitarist getting talked about I love all guitar players if ur picking up an instrument and having fun that's all that matters. but its cool seeing guitarist that we don't talk much about.
He said that he probably wouldn't recognize Buckethead's playing if he heard it. That's amazing to me because Buckethead has a very distinct style and sound.
Lee anderton and John frusciante are ranked the same and both of them ranked higher than mark knopfler... I know it's opinion but c'mon man that's just crazy
George Sims Well, I think John totally deserves 7/10 if not even higher. But I agree with the rest..
John fucking Frusciante totally deserves that 7.
Dare you insult the captain?
George Sims OH NO HOW DARE HE HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINON
+Krista Mehanikova frusciante 100% deserves a 7+ and lee could definitely get up in that range sure I agree with you there. But in my humble opinion, if frusciante is a 7, the captain deserve a 5/6 and knopfler deserves a 8/9. But hey, that's the beauty of opinions, we don't all have to think The same
Jerry Cantrell would definitely get a 9/10 from me because some of the lesser known AiC riffs are seriously badass.
Sloan Guitar right
Absolutely
Mark Knopfler live performances were just awesome, the way he was playing a 5-minute version solo of Sultans of Swing or other songs.
His licks' phrases are unique to listen, especially for the last solo of his song "Tunnel of Love". Proof a solo can sound nice without playing it fast. Just by the sound of the guitar you know it's him.
"I don't recall as many memorable riffs coming out of him"
He said that about Jerry Cantrell, couldn't you have thought of a better way to offend me 😑.
Ya, that was a bummer. My personal top memorable JC riffs:
Anger rising
It ain't like that
Them bones
Grind
Rain when I die
Put you down
Dam that river
Sunshine
We die young
Heaven beside you
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
he is the riff god lmao

Jerry Cantrell is a 10. You can't fault him. He's the epitome of memorable. Obviously you're not an Alice In Chains fan
Leo B Nah he is lauded among notable guitar players as an iconic influence, not just me.
Leo B okay troll.
Man in the box, rooster anyone?
Man in the box, Rooster, Would Them bones, No excuses. Fuck off
Leo B man in the box solo. All im gunna say. Also would?
Leo B bro what are you even talking about they had one of the greatest rock voices of all time fronting the band with one of the meanest guitar tones and riffs anyone had heard at that time
If u ever get a chance to hear TWRP or NSP with TWRP, i highly recommend. Lord Phobos is actually a pretty solid guitarist.
I agree, TWRP is really damn good with NSP and his playing on _Under the Covers_ is insane
Phobos is like a more proficient guitarist than I realized at first , dude can shred clean. Watch his livestreams
Tony Iommi founded a genre. Still got 8/10. XD
Iommi inspired a lot of guys on this list and was the riff master….this dude is way off
8/10 is pretty low for the writer of comfortably numb's solo
michaellundgren1 dogs for the win!
Gilmour is great but not as versatile as others, mostly relying on pentatonics and aeolian scale. In regard to taste I would give him a 10/10.
I loved echos honestly
Please tell me Comfortably Numb is not the only song you ve heard of Pink Floyd
Comfortably numb is overrated, there are many guitarists that are much better than David Gilmour in general, he is very memorable though
I know this is subjective and all that, but I think even Lee Andertons would be offended if he knew he was being ranked higher than Mark Knopfler by someone
Luis 77 The hilarious thing is that in his interview with Steve Vai Lee specifically dropped Knopfler’s name as one of his guitar heroes!
Exactly on point Luis...
Randy Rhoads got 10/10... that’s what I’m talking about bro!!

I would put Jerry Cantrell over all the other grunge guys.
Preach

I said the same thing. To put cobain above jerry from a guitarist standpoint is pure lunacy. But hey this guy put mark Tremonti above mark knophler.....he lost major points there.
He truly pissed me off with that rating and explanation.
jerry cantrell is riff fucking god
I’d like to see you rip through the Aero Zeppelin guitar solo if you think Kurt Cobain isn’t that good.
The love,hate,love solo is one of my all time favorites. Jerry is 10x better than cobain.
I go to school with your cousin rylie. Do you know him? Just making sure he's not lying
A video needs to made to apologize to his royal highness Mark Knopler for ranking him 6/10.

Dimebag Darrell is one of Metal's greatest riff machines.
What the hell, Jerry only got a 6?
He deserves at least 8
I know right! Jerry gets a 9 from me. He is such an amazing songwriter and also writes amazing riffs. Simple doesn't always mean bad (when soloing). Jerry had fucking soul! That's what matters!
His solos might sound simple, but try playing them yourself. Crazy some of the stuff he does. I mean it's still simple, but to sound the way he does it is not an easy task.
Then the fact he starts to say that Cobain was a tier above...(if you don't know wtf you're talking about, why pretend you do? you just look like an idiot) Kurt Cobain was not much more than a mediocre guitar player. Fantastic Artist, Average guitarist.
Leo B fuck off, fuckface!
You lost me when you came to Jerry Cantrell with a 6 and rated Lee Anderson a 7. For crying out loud the same as Frusciante
I don’t know how I feel about no Kirk Hammett, I know James was on it but lak, Kirk is the lead
You really need hear the sound of Dire Straits with Mark Knopfler on guitar, he's a master of fingerstyle.
you could've just...see a video of the unknown people hahah

ROFL!!!!!
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.
JustForFunMan he only knows sultans of swing
noineiku I'm still confident the creator of Sultans of Swing deserves higher than a 6
don't get me wrong i completely agree and in my opinion he shouldn't have even rated guitar players based on their looks just because he didn't know them.
JustForFunMan I'll tell you Tyler's reasoning: he's an idiot.
Every player is unique in his own way!💗
You cant expect Clapton to play like Petrucci & Petrucci to play like Clapton!
Knopfler at 6/10 is criminal. The guys had Clapton guesting on his tour as rhythm. Ain't no 6/10 guitarists who have Clapton relegated to rhythm!

7/10 for Angus young😭he's literally a Jimmy page but from Australia at least a 9,you are WRONG
This was a bad idea lol
fazeel ashraf it really doesn't seem like Tyler, rating other guitarists in such a way.
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.
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.
Watch out Slash! Lee Anderton is coming for your job!

SLASH AND ANGUS YOUNG ONLY GOT 7?!!!??!???!!!!??!!?!!?!
You don’t understand how triggered I am right now
I agree with you on most of your opinions, but in my mind Mark Knopfler is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, because his playing is extremely melodic with great timing. He is also very versatile, playing rock, but also folk and blues. You should definitely check out the Alchemy Live Album by Dire Straits, you miss something if you just define Mark Knopfler by Sultans. This might just be personal opinion, because he brought me into rock and guitar, though.
John Smith I consider him the best. Always plays stuff that fits with the music but he still has a fantastic tone, feel and skill
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.
Was waiting for this comment.
Layne actually wrote the guitar parts to angry chair. I'm pretty sure the only part Jerry wrote was the solo which is fucking amazing. Layne should have picked up the guitar more often.
My main cinch is that he said he didn’t have a lot of memorable riffs when he wrote greats ones like in sunshine, we die young, and almost any song on facelift
Gavin Griffitt Rotten Apple alone is awesome. Not just with AIC, Cantrell even does better work on his solo albums.
