[@wliaputs]

The walking bass on the chorus is crazy!

[@schrodingerbracat2927]

Yeah! And he could play that!

[@peterkelly8953]

I have two left feet & a tin ear, but totally agree!!

[@daumas77]

He has captured the song perfectly within the relatively limited medium of the guitar. Amazing

[@alexeykononchuk5634]

This is exactly how Pink Panther should be played on the guitar.

[@Rick-Jangle]

No, he’s just so good that he’s made you think it should be played on guitar!

[@giraykharizzma7737]

Every try still count none is perfect 👍🏻

[@nickkersey6744]

I mean he wrote the song

[@irinazizet5852]

9üüäää

Perfect!

[@jameshughes455]

WOW!!!! He's GREAT!! This has GOT to be the best version of this I have EVER heard!!!!!

[@oysterman12johnnybuckets3]

Absolutely!!

[@robohonkey990]

I agree. Tommy Emanuel has a really good rendition. But I think I like this version better.

[@dansmithinc]

I know I must have listened to it at least 50 60 times in a row he just blows you away man awesome guitar work and I've been playing since I was 17 and I can't play like that and I'm 52 awesome guitar work man

[@philkennedy9161]

Nothing like being able to play all the lead, as well as the bass line...simultaneously....sweet.

[@karimali5850]

This theme remains one of the most whimsical yet elegant jazz pieces ever created. It has the cool jazz, the humor, the charm, the sneaky mischievous persona of the Pink Panther. It’s just timeless! Love the guitar cover too.

[@Launs_Algis]

This is the pinkest of all the "pink panthers" that I have heard. !!!

[@nedjohnson6510]

I have been studying and playing classical guitar for over 50 years, and this arrangement and performance is truly a masterpiece. Bravo! Henry would be so pleased.

[@bartrhodes7122]

I've watched this a thousand times and it still makes me smile from ear to ear. Thanks!

[@arctichare8185]

This is what a guitar is made for!

[@dunderdickflin4378]

Always amazes me when guitarists use their right hand as 5 picks. Having used a pick all my life I can only do metal/rock solo kind of stuff, but this guy sounds like 2 guitars at once, which is every guitar player’s dream

I learnt to play fingerstyle and many years later to play with a pick and to me using the fingers is more fun and satisfying

[@callumwalsh6184]

@@takeoff3047 I would recommend getting the basics perfected. After playing for into my fourth year now, and about to sit my grade 7 exam, I would seriously recommend making sure you understand every bit of theory and technique that you can, as it helped me massively

[@williamroan5576]

It amazes me what people do with picks, I've always struggled with them. It seems we're always enamoured of the techniques with which we struggle and impressed by those who demonstrate them with ease. Get a nylon string guitar and learn Bouree, it's a great launching pad especially for someone into metal because you'll realize at least a dozen famous metal progressions are lifted from that one song. Jeff Beck transitioned to pickless playing late in his life/career, no reason you can't pick it up, you're already relegating your dominant, more dexterous hand to the simpler job.

[@dielaughing73]

I've only ever heard two perfect guitar transcriptions: Richard Smith's The Entertainer and this

[@sobeit1927]

I agree . Richard smiths “entertainer “ is in the same league .

[@karlroyce2321]

450 dislikes? 450 wannabees wishing they were half as talented as you my friend. This is one of my all-time favorite compositions and you have done it a great justice. Thank you for this!

[@phillippasteur3904]

@bad1dobby Ain't that the truth... he is absolutely a top notch jazz musician... as good as they get! I'm a session bassist, but this man doesn't even need a bass player! He covers it all by himself.

[@that_nerd_that_games4495]

706 jealous idiots as I’m writing this comment. People are unbelievable…

[@MarkBonerea]

amazing, the whole orchestra on one instrument....

[@simonsimon325]

No idea how you harmonized that melody line on top of everything else and played it with such class. Exceptional.

[@IntrepidYouTuber]

The strength in the hand playing the notes is hidden by the superb smoothness, unbelievable!

[@a191015]

Marco Savio by looking at the chords I felt my hand cramping up. He makes it look easy

[@gibandruski6744]

I love it when people with musical talent are willing to. Share that talent. What a gift!

[@bjjthaiboxing]

This is without a doubt, the best version of this song, that's ever been played... by anyone! This dude is in a league of own!

[@folaolakunbi4961]

I am 8% cooler having just witnessed this

[@MrPlankinton]

Until a minky😊

[@docdevin1]

As of this moment there are 122 thumbs down. I am curious as to what part of this would make anyone want to give it a thumbs down. I guess maybe because it was so good and enjoyable that it reminded them of their shortcomings.

[@miguelandrade5964]

this is usually people complaining about ads. Not the playing.

[@sheezdaone]

docdevin1 the grumpy spirits that are having a bad day or just a plain bad life! 😄

[@krzychaczu]

Vast majority are misclicks.

[@danielscarfo3230]

Jealousy!

[@BrianThorstad]

I LOVE it so much I subscribed and shared!

[@proyectophanus]

This is the very best guitar cover of the pink panther ever!!!!

[@ЮрийДеточкин-с5о]

this is the best pink panther performance on a guitar Bravo has ever heard

[@harshinikudia8194]

That baseline is EPIC!

[@chirilas5217]

The best version ever in guitar.

[@gabyzodo3685]

The Pink Panther Theme was written in the key of E minor. Henry Mancini intended it for his saxophone soloist Plas Johnson. This guitar rendition is by far the best version I’ve ever heard. In a typical band setup, the bass is the least noticed, it is the most noticed in this guitar arrangement. Bravo for a great performance! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rickjason215]

That he keeps the baseline going in perfect time always amazes me in these great fingerstyle players. Tommy Emmanuel said he rehearses a new piece hundreds of times before he performs it. It looks like these guys do it easily, but it takes hours of hard work.

[@connyberg5665]

"Practise your thumb picking until your wife leaves you" / Tommy Emmanuel

Yeah, amazing. I'm often unable to play one melody right, imagine doing two at the same time

[@renehernandez9207]

I just took a trip down to memory lane to 1979 Mexico City, we only had a black and white TV but loved watching the (PANTERA ROSA). thank you for that..............

[@2skyland]

This is the best acoustic guitar version of this I have ever heard and one of the best versions, period.

[@peterlogan6701]

Who knew u could make Pink Panther sound like this on a guitar. Every time a piece blows me away like this it makes me love the instrument even more. Great job!

[@videoscan]

WOW... twice wonderful... for the incredible performance and interpretation and for taking me to a wonderful past that was my childhood.

[@milenkomaletic1235]

First part is great but arrangement for the second part of the song is unbelievable, genious and truly amazing.

[@Greenman422]

Very good example of the versatility of the guitar as a solo instrument with this masterful performance.

[@martinlouden9005]

Of ALL the attempts at this brilliant piece of music on guitar on KZbin, this is by far the best. Absolutely captivating.

[@oryeus]

The best acoustic version on KZbin.

[@phillippasteur3904]

Most definitely! I can't get over it and I keep commenting on people's comments. It is truly a masterpiece. I wonder if this true genius is a session player... If so, I would wager he is in NYC.

I have always enjoyed this song. But watching it played on a guitar is ten times better.

[@scottdoremus4735]

Possibly one of the worlds greatest guitarists right there. I can only see Satriani or EVH exceeding that kind of talent.

[@timothyberg7081]

Best camera set-up for me to follow along and practice with and setting the playback speed at 0.75 brings it all together.

[@4GotSumthing]

Some themes are great but hard to cover without ruining them. He succeeds on every level here. Wonderful enjoyable. Gotta hear it again.

[@stevenmqcueen7576]

One of the best guitar performances I have ever seen. Bravo!

[@Enrique111072]

Why there are people who can give a bad opinion of the way this master plays the guitar. It's really good and very enjoyable.

[@dandehnke6784]

Probably the coolest thing I will see all day

[@AwkwardTruths]

Nice. Makes me want to check behind the ceiling to floor curtains while loudly saying, "Nice weather we're having..."

[@U2WB]

The walking bass in the bridge was fantastic ! Love it.

[@orks2654]

U2WB that’s exactly what i wanted to say man!

[@jhandle4196]

Pretty fancy. What a luxury to have one of the coolest songs ever in your hands for life even during a power outage.

[@chirilas5217]

It is definitely the best version ever heard in guitar. So brilliant and a very difficult song to play he does. Sincere congratulations. WOW|||||👏

[@Mark-kj1lf]

A brilliant arrangement! You had the entire orchestra going in those six strings. 👏👏👏👏

[@perababok]

Part from 1:25 is fabulous. There is a lot of guitar players who play Pink Panther theme on yt. but no one played that part. Great work Mancini!

[@angelthman1659]

I was wondering if he was going to play that part, and he delivered!

[@sheldoncostello4391]

Pure genius! One man orchestra.

[@mortatoneamplification3565]

this type of incredible playing will not be tolerated.

[@cristop5]

When I were a lad show-offs like this got a clip around the ear.

[@lonniebest4697]

This is about as good as the song can possibly be played. I've seen other artists try to get way fancier with this song, but none of them sound as good as this one.

[@davidsomerset8411]

Henry Mancini was a musical genius and this excellent 👏 playing

[@wicklunda]

I keep coming back to this because it’s so brilliant and rendition!

[@everettscott4745]

My goooood god. This is bloody amazing. To harmonise all those notes to get the authentic sound is beyond excellent.

[@oysterman12johnnybuckets3]

I must of watched this video over 100 times and I’m blown away every time how he shreds the crap out of this. He makes it sound like the coolest music, plus he is flawless.

[@bikerbisht110]

He makes it look so easy .... respect

[@hichambenaissa3163]

Perfect master of the instrument, brilliant finger picking, even bass sound. I 'm stunned.

[@baronvonklik7159]

Anyone that plays a bit of guitar is going to try to do this..... This is exceptional skill.

[@MotivationPure]

by far the cleanest and most beautiful way to perform this masterpiece. i've watched other guitarists and they weren't even close. well done, signore mancino!

[@mr555harv]

I like how he makes a percussive instrument more like a woodwind or similar. His left hand technique is unique and 👍 great.

[@woody5476]

One of the best songs ever.

[@skotpenfold8392]

The feel, the groove, the mastery!!!! Amazing

[@bluestarindustrialarts7712]

Rock guitarist = 4 chords for a million people. Jazz guitarist = A million chords for 4 people.

[@Guitaroverkill]

Blue Star Industrial Arts How true.

[@aung1406]

Lol

[@sametbora6900]

I think: Rock is simple. It is easy to understand. Jazz is complex. Hard to feel...

[@beloved3244]

Facts. I’m a jazz pianist and I endorse this message

[@renerenee120]

That's oh so right!

[@JohnMunnelly]

Never gets old, this guy is as cool as that cat that panthered around in those cartoons !!!!!!!!!!

[@DwightMS1]

Mancino plays Mancini, bella bella!

[@kumquatmagoo]

Okay so I planned to finish off some jobs around the house today, but here I am with my guitar on my lap figuring out Pink Panther. No regrets.

[@todespflaume15]

Have you figured out whatt tuning this masterpiece is in?

[@orion_nebula]

Henry mancini, a true genius from our time.

[@jeffreywillis4258]

Never realized this theme had such strong ties to jazz until hearing and seeing it on the guitar.

[@PGGraham]

This theme is a jazz standard.

[@xbbjdf8]

Nice

[@Starchaser63]

Brilliant 👏 the Pink Panther is a great piece of music 🎶 and this Guitar 🎸 version is fantastic 👏..

[@joeblow1115]

One of the coolest things I've ever seen and heard.

[@sybo10]

WOW, one of the best acoustic arrangements I've ever heard and you played if flawlessly, Perfecto

[@guyb7005]

Mancino does Mancini.... & superbly at that!

[@chirilas5217]

The best performance I have ever heard in guitar. Sincere congratulations for this virtuoso guitar player. Wow, this was just brilliant.

[@bjjthaiboxing]

This gentleman, is a true talent of our time. And he was kind enough to put his playing on paper. Click his KZbin page, scroll over to the right and click "about." Now click "Tab." There is where you will find this song and many others on sheet music & tablature!

[@mariuspetre1613]

Omg!!! Finally I found somebody to properly play pink panther on guitar!! That was delightful ❤ going back on the speakers 🔊 😅

[@allen6924]

WOW.. That's the best guitar cover I've ever heard of this composition.

[@echantelois]

Just turn up the volume and do the Pink Panther walk up and down the hallway. ;-) It'll take you right back to Saturday morning cartoons 45+ years ago. Fantastic performance.

[@phillippasteur3904]

Awesome jazz treatment! Playing the complex melody and chords as well as walking bass.., you're a fantastic guitarist.

[@timothymoon3971]

Clean videos are the best, no talk, just music

[@taylornielsen5805]

Fantastic in so many ways.

[@thomas-rs1vb]

So cool that's a very difficult song to play also and get it right and perfect timing

[@robertorivera6790]

It’s amazing how anyone can play such a beautiful and complicated piece of music on guitar, it brings laughter and joy to my soul. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤

[@MrPorter7]

BRAVO! That's crazy how good that is, son! Masterful! Musical! Entertaining!

[@SJ-vc2tz]

Sounds complex and simple at the same time, very well played

One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.

[@jamiehalifax4954]

The running base line at 1:34 along with the picking sounds awesome.👍👍

[@anandarochisha]

Dang !! This was a polished and masterful rendition of a piece done a million times..very nice ! 🎉

[@rocketman7471]

That HD 28 sounds incredible!

[@thomasfontenot4881]

My absolute favorite version! Thank you for blessing us with your talent !

[@jerroldhewson3600]

that had to be the best version on solo guitar I've ever heard. Bravo, and thanks for the tabs, well worth the money!

[@GraysonBolt]

When you think you're okay at guitar and then this guy shows you what's up

[@jraelien5798]

Dude! That is astonishingly GOOD. Mad respect!

[@dnashofficial]

seriously... how does one downvote this??? bravissimo!!!!

[@gateofdreams]

From one guitarist to another: simply outstanding! I had a lot of fun listening to your playing technique and arrangement, Guido! Hugs and love!

[@yogiyahya35]

Whenever i'm sneaking into the kitchen to grab my snacks at 3 AM, this song plays in my mind 😆😆😆😆😆

[@walterbriggs272]

Love the images that run through my head when listening to this

[@antoniocasalduerorecuero9383]

Por lejos, esta es la mejor versión que he escuchado de La Pantera Rosa. Es extraordinario, une la melodía con los bajos precisos, acompañándose de un suave golpeteo rítmico... Ufff... cómo me gustaría tocar así. También yo toco este tema, pero ni por asomo me asemejo a esta versión, ha sido fabuloso, ya lo he oído como cinco veces seguidas y no me canso... ¡Felicitaciones para el guitarrista Guido Mancino!

[@antoniocasalduerorecuero9383]

Ya tiene su merecido like, buen hombre.

[@eslamramzi9578]

This vesrion is totally different from all others on KZbin, amazing

[@jubbaronny]

Every time I come back here I’m increasingly inspired to chuck my guitar in a skip!

[@daumas77]

This is the best rendition of this song on the guitar I have ever heard.
