You have something very special. Something not many guitarists on here have. Yes they may well posses the skills, the effort to practice, the equipment and the sound but they do not have what you have and that is the natural ability to connect with the listener, transmitting emotion from your brain to theirs via your fingertips. You are a naturally talented musician up there with the very few. Don't let anyone say otherwise, if they do they are only unhappy within themselves that they cannot achieve what you have young man. Take a bow.

dhalif is one of the greatest guitarist on youtube. So amazing. That was awesome my friend.

Son, you brought me to tears with this! You will own the world someday! Bravo!

Why do people even need drugs?? This shit could make you fly to the moon.

the guitar is singing!!!! damn sweet

This is INSANE ! Recomposed of Prince’s Purple Rain in Joe Satriani’s style. Awesome!

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you Laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know I know times are changing It's time we all reach out For something new, that means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain If you know what I'm singing about up here Come on, raise your hands Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you I only want to see you In the purple rain

Today, I'm here watching your videos because of the one called "Worst guitar player of 2016", and I'm so grateful my curiosity brought me here, you are really amazing...I dare to say that you don't play the guitar...you make love to it! It is really a pleasure to hear you play, and an inspiration to me...Best regards from México! And obviously, I follow your videos from now on! Good night!

Are you kidding me ?????? This is world class 100% , the phrasing , control and technique was nailed perfectly , full of expression and poise and he played it seemingly effortless. I liked his tone and he took the emotion where it needed to go throughout the song and it just did it for me. Well done young man , well done and keep pushing your limits and you'll go far ;)

Prince is smiling in heaven after hearing this!!!!!!

This kid is killing it. It's so emotional. It's like the best guitar players would do it.

The smoothest guitarist on youtube by far. Dude you are a star

I literally wept from the shear perfection I was hearing. Nothing was over stated or understated. Im still fighting back the tears. Wow just wow! Man that was beautiful simply beautiful. I wish I could make such beautiful sounds. Perfection!!!!! I was so moved I didn't want it to end!

Not many can make their guitar 'talk'.....great job!

2 years later, and I am still enthralled!

A friend sent me here to watch this. So glad!!! I've been playing guitar for 15 years and I cannot even touch this kind of stuff. You've got the fingers man. Great interpretation. This video should have many more views.

Jesus this guy...flawless! Just an amazing talent! This is something your born with. I would pay you whatever you want just to teach me the basics. Incredible my guy! 2:16-2:52 is my favorite part. Keep playing that part over and over.

Dude , You Are A Legend in the Making . You were Born to rock my friend & From Jus Randomly clicking on one of your videos one day cause i was bored , you influenced me to get a guitar myself and rock On Like You My friend 🙏✊✊

Haha this is insane! Up there with Petrucci's version for sure.

A lot of these guys who play the instrumental tribute to Prince have been highly influenced by John Petrucci. His finger prints have been on every version I have heard. This one is no exception. BTW, that is a good thing. You take your influences do what connects with you and add your own soul to it. Well done!

You, my friend, are special. Really impressed. Nailed it. Love your passion. You inspire me. Thank you.

over all of the cover and versions of this song available in the internet , this one has something really special , a strange smoothnes in your playing , a beautiful soulfulness , really amazing work

I could listen to this all night..... Will listen to again in the morning when I wake up... Thank you very much for posting!! Was a joy to listen to!

am sick now , i have a fever , but while listening to this legendary work , and with my wild imagination , am at ease now . thank you

I came to this site because I was looking for a solo lesson on this song. After hearing you, I am better off just listening!!! You are so talented and a real pleasure to listen to.

Awesome! It just kept getting better and better. Your tone and technique were super but your feeling and emotion were the best part. Flawless.

I love your guitar playing dude, you have somthing really special! So much feeling put into your playing, just amazing! It's almost like you tell a story of emotions in your playing! You are an amazing guitarist!

I spent 12 years of my life to learn this instrument but it is untouchable to me even today and I become crazy when I listen this tune from Dhalif sir.

Absolutely beautiful playing man. I wish to be atleast half as good on guitar as a musician like you. Keep it up!

This was absolutely amazing. the sound and the feeling you put into touches inside everyone listening to this and that's something every guitarist wishes he could do. keep up the amazing talent man and keep improving. who knows where you could get someday with this

R.I.P PRINCE!!!!

Such soft play of fingers and huge feel. Thank you. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful...

Overwhelmingly tasteful. Beautiful. Shivers, over and over again.

Omg! You have no idea, how amazing the mood you got me in!! Thank you

You have worked hard and aspired to be better and certainly deserve all the positive comments. I'm grateful for the opportunity to listen to you. Thanks.

Without doubt one of the best guitarists on youtube! Waiting for more uploads from you - keep up the amazing work!!

Play on, brother!Its in your Soul! Don't deny your Destiny!You have a gift from the maker of breath! Lift Us All Up!

Spectacular, an improv like this... as an amateur player you`ve inspired me to keep at it an try to progress further... those last 2 minutes.. wow, ladies and gentlemen this is talent.

Absolute fantastic! A job well done. :) You seriously inspired me to pick my guitar back up and honestly practice for hours. New subscriber for sure!

another year, another appreciative comment. i love this video!

Absolutely amazing! Definitely NOT the worst guitar player. That was very well composed and truly inspired. Very soulful arrangement. Congrats young man!

Man you are an amazing guitarist, and I'm actually learning a lot from watching your videos.. I've been playing about six years but I am not this good, I'm getting there though. You just keep up the good work.

He is one of the best guitar players of 2019!

This is not my first time watching this video, this is just so so damn Perfect it's unbelievable!!!! Whenever I wish to feel something passionate I load this video up and I sit back headphones on and I'm off into a sonic Utopia! In music one of the very key elements is not only to when to play a note, that's a given the true geniuses know when there should be no note struck. The challenge of knowing when to play a chord or a single note, to give it some vibrato or to mute it etc is all in a days work when a guitarist plays a piece but what separates the "Masters" from the " Good " players, I believe is to know when not to play, when to give a piece room to breathe to give a note some juxtaposition from its ringing out to going quite. This young guitarist has this ability, thumbs gift in spades. Yes there is a great deal of articulation absolutely but there is just as much precise placement of rests. I am just so amazed by it.Thes moments of rests tend to aid a musical piece build up angst, it lends itself to a build up of expectation. Thankfully this guitarist doesn't disappoint when delivering the result of this "building up" if you will. I just go off into another demission listening to this piece it is wrought with emotion, passion, power and beauty! I must sound like a fanboy but it's not a usual thing to find someone this good at playing with this depth of emotion of feeling! There are many even so called master guitarist that don't have this aspect in their craft. This guitarist here is special. Godspeed!!!

Beautiful, brother.

That was fantastic yo0u just got a new subscriber bro. Incredible touch and emotionally charged song improvisation awesome !!!!

Hey Dhalif just discovered you and watched some of your videos. Exceptional work dude. Awesome melodic lines. Really love your phrasing!

The Petrucci influence here just oozes out. Love it, this guy is exceptional.
