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!!

[@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

[@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]

Perfect!

[@philkennedy9161]

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

[@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.

[@Launs_Algis]

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

[@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.

[@gibandruski6744]

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

[@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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@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…

[@videoscan]

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

[@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!

[@folaolakunbi4961]

I am 8% cooler having just witnessed this

[@MrPlankinton]

Until a minky😊

[@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 .

[@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

[@MarkBonerea]

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

[@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!

[@milenkomaletic1235]

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

[@ЮрийДеточкин-с5о]

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

[@simonsimon325]

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

[@harshinikudia8194]

That baseline is EPIC!

[@2skyland]

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

[@AwkwardTruths]

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

[@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|||||👏

[@proyectophanus]

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

[@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..............

[@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!

[@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.

[@Starchaser63]

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

[@Mark-kj1lf]

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

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

[@wicklunda]

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

[@4GotSumthing]

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

[@Greenman422]

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

[@stevenmqcueen7576]

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

[@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

[@jhandle4196]

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

[@martinlouden9005]

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

[@dandehnke6784]

Probably the coolest thing I will see all day

[@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.

[@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.

[@mariuspetre1613]

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

[@phillippasteur3904]

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

[@everettscott4745]

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

[@sybo10]

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

[@hichambenaissa3163]

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

[@taylornielsen5805]

Fantastic in so many ways.

[@larrymitchell3351]

Absolutely killer. Been playing over 50 years. That's about as good as it gets.

[@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.

[@sheldoncostello4391]

Pure genius! One man orchestra.

[@MrPorter7]

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

[@U2WB]

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

[@jamiehalifax4954]

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

[@chirilas5217]

The best version ever in guitar.

[@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!

[@davidsomerset8411]

Henry Mancini was a musical genius and this excellent 👏 playing

[@user-Natarito]

So, So cool. The two chords at 1:51 are sweet! That guitar sounds so good for being tuned down to B!

[@scottdoremus4735]

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

[@guyb7005]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@jmgalbo1]

I can't even imagine writing this out on tab, are some of those fingerings even chords? Outstanding Guy, as always, you inspire me to know that any piece of music ever written can be played on the guitar...one way or another.
