I’m a player and my eyes teared up watching this! I love every nuance in your playing and tone! I haven’t played this in years myself, but since moving to an area where 80% of my neighbors are navy airmen, Seeing this makes me even more proud of them and makes me wanna play again! Thank you! :)

You played a song from one of my favorite movies of all time Top Gun I come from a family who served in the navy and the airforce but keep up the amazing work I love your videos

When I was in sophomore year of high school, they had just started coming out with decent flight simulators on iPod touches. Our math teacher let us play with our phones at the end of class if all of our in class work was done, was one of the few that let us do that. Anyway, I’d be sitting there playing my flight sim and Mr Martin asked me if I have ever seen top gun. To his surprise, I said absolutely and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Along with Smokey and the Bandit, Memphis Belle, good old shit. He then asked me, “Do you know the very first line of that movie?” Thought about it, and I really didn’t.. I said the request flyby line, although I knew that was wrong. He said “Goodmorning Scott.” And I instantly got it. I will never forget that. He then called me maverick for the rest of my time in school and he was goose. Ahh good times

Amazing!! You did this song proud!! I played this at my best friends funeral service in 2005 (not me on the guitar but the original song over speakers) it was our childhood theme song together! He was a firefighter so his service had about 500 people attending...was very proud to let this anthem play for him!! Glad I came across this video....really really well done!!!!!! Nice job

Other the shabby backing track and everyone complaining about your hammer on rather than a pick, you truly nailed this because you TOTALLY get that this song is not about the notes. You flawlessly followed all the minor details that put the "feels" into it. Tremolo hammer ons, timing, harmonics... you hit them all like a pro and better yet, you did it better than ANY other you tuber has so far. GREAT JOB! 👍

This was such a perfect soundtrack for the movie with the 80s style and flair. You're a great player with excellent vibrato and touch. You should be a lot more famous.

this is how I REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL version of this song

Masterpiece!

Aside from the original, this is my favorite version of this song my DUDE! Your version is so great that some days I prefer it over the original. Nicely done! You can be my wingman anytime!!

"It's not the guitar, it's the guitarist"

Nicely done, a pleasure to listen to. Critics should post links to their own perfect versions.

Absolutely superb, awesome version of one of the best tracks ever, sheer class man

If I ever get asked to play the national anthem before a sports games, I’m gonna throw this in as a little detous after “. . .bombs bursting in air”. I mean, I suck at guitar and I never go outside so it’s probably not gonna happen, but it would be really cool if it did. Great cover. Song always makes me catch feels, but your version more so than most.

Bret, the best cover of TG theme that I have come across. I have quoted lines from TOP GUN since I first watched the movie so many years ago. While living in San Diego, I worked next to and lived near Miramar, and of course visited all the filming locations (yep, I lacked a social life at the time). Excellent cover!

Congratulations!! It's so perfect that it made me cry. Nostalgic TOP GUN :")

The most boss cover and jolly roger themed guitar!!! wow!!!!

Whether it’s you playing this or not, this has been one of my favorite riffs for forever and I swear I got goosebumps listening to your cover. Amazing man. Truly appreciate it

I still can’t get over how unbelievably good this cover is. WELL DONE SIR!!!

Wow this guy is good top gun anthem recreated on guitar still sound good as it did back in the 80’s

Can't get enough of this song!!!!

very clean audio quality. great performance!

This is an excellent example of it’s not how many notes you play, but how you play the notes. Thank you for posting.

Amazing job. My best friend and I use to watch this movie all the time, then he moved to Miramar. He ended up becoming a Naval aviator and is now an instructor. I became a private pilot and did ATC for the FAA for a while, where I worked with a controller who appeared in the opening scene of the movie. Funny how a movie can influence your life.

I've seen other videos like this of the same song. You have the best timing and bending intonation. Thanks a lot from Italy!

After watching the cover ,as a guitarist I love you as a performer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ . . The guitar , the sound ,your style ,and most importantly you were much too perfect for this song from one of my favourite movies,you do great justice to this song and most importantly......... HATS OFF TO YOU 👍🤘

This is so amazing to watch and see the effort needed to make the best parts of the song sound as good as they do, just awesome thank you for this!

This is the best and most professionally recorded cover of this iconic piece. A massive well done to you.👍

This is one of my fave songs and you nailed it!!! LOVE IT!

Best cover on KZread

Every time this song is played, a Naval Aviator gets his wings.

Quite possibly my MOST favorite video on all of KZread! Thank You for bringing back memories of a more civilized era!

Absolutely the best cover I’ve heard yet. You were spot on man!! Very, very good!!!

Brings tears to my eyes!!! Thank you!!

This is still my goto video after a long ass day!!! Hope you're well Bret!! Cheers again for the most epic video!!

Perfectly done, you killed it on all levels, I felt the energy, spirit, tones, vibrato and transitioning just like the real track, AAA+

I get goosebumbs while listening to this

This should be the anthem for the sports events. 👏

One of the most iconic songs of all time, goosebumps every damn time...

Absolutely unreal. I've never seen someone actually play this on guitar. Literally beautiful 🤤

Excellent job! The best I've seen anyone pull this off.

Awesome job!!! Wow brought back memories! Keep up the good work!!!

Awesome man!!! You're on my iPod playlist now!!!!

Well played. Congratulations. For years I have wanted, wished and tried to play this. Great job!

Truly the best I’ve heard sounds just like the original soundtrack!

WOW... You've done a WONDERFUL job. Ever since I found this video I listen to this one rather than the original because I hate watching Steve Stevens fidget around. This is excellent work! especially the transition at 3:21 and of course 2:30 onwards.

wow, the attention to detail is impeccable and the delivery is clean and precise!

Nice job. It's nice to see all of the touches Steve put in that song. It really brought a deeper respect for him. Again, thanks! Very nice. I was matching it note by note on my air guitar!

The only cover I've heard that's played correctly. Absolutely flawless whammy bar work.

He is missing a couple notes if you listen to the original you can hear it. Otherwise he did an amazing job.

Masterpiece

I struggle to understand why people would give a thumbs down to this. Because he hammered instead of picked!! Just because he plays it slightly different doesn't mean it's wrong. Try just listening. Amazing play sir. Hats off

This is absolutely spot on! Very well played!

Top Gun is the best performance

Incredible

one of the best guitar theme ever...

Awesome...makes me smell JP-4, and the steam of the cats, a Tomcat silhouetted against a setting sun, an airdale marshaling her to a cat...well done 👍🏻🤙🏻

Hi, really amazing. Almost better than the original :-) I loved this song when I was a young guy. I just started playing the guitar, and I think it is a long way to go ... Thank you for this great cover. Kind regards from Vienna!

I'm not saying I want to replace the National Anthem...but if I were, this would be pretty kickass replacement.

Now, this is the best one I have heard so far. You did Top Gun proud.

Best guitar player i've seen. Excellent top gun guitar cover. Still view video after years of first seeing it.

Brilliant!!!!

I feel the need!, The need for Speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well done!! every bit of it was amazing!

Every time I hear this I get goose bumps! Definitely my favorite instrumental in a movie

Holy SH*T!!! You are a legend Sir. This brought me right back to being a kid. Emotional. THANK YOU!!!!

Congrats man. Maverick will be released in a year time and im sure your cover will blow up soon enough 😆

I fuckin love KH guitars

probably the best movie and soundtrack of all time! good job!

Woah now this is how it is done!! I love how you dive in and out of these licks with the trem. Gotta practice that more. I always thought there was more than a single note at the end of those initial phrases but you trem them and it sounds great. I just tried it and man I love it. Amazing guitar song and as an ex Coast Guard airmen It really hits me in the feels. Thank you for this.

Essa é a perfeição para entendermos...que nem sempre precisaremos de voz....para transmitir um pensamento.....😉

Fantastic.Best cover of this on youtube.

Seemingly effortless. Awesome job!

Outstanding love every second of this very well done thank you

Don't know who the man is on the guitar, but I'd love to take lessons from him! Damn fine playing. Love the skull and crossbones on the guitar neck!

素晴らしい！！！

Absolutely brilliant, made my day.
