Narrative:
While my first officer was taxiing our aircraft east on the south side of concourse, a ground service agent flagged us to cross the service road to our gate on the south side of concourse. Our ramp agent blocked the service road and we were directed by a second ramp service agent directing us to park between 2 parked company aircraft. The first officer followed the directions of both ramp agents. As we were facing north, the first ramp agent walked toward our right wing, now our wing walker. According to my first officer, our wing walker was in place. The second ramp agent continued marshalling us, turning us back east to position us between the 2 parked aircraft. The second ramp agent was standing on a pre-painted parking mark, indicating we would clear both aircraft which were parked on their respective pre-painted parking marks. The marshaler stepped to the south of our pre-painted mark to ensure our clearance. The first officer continually watched our wing walker and the clearance of wingtips. As the first officer looked out his right window, the marshaler turned us left, but the first officer turned right. I immediately yelled 'turn left' and immediately turned the aircraft left with the rudders calling 'my aircraft.' even though I called for 'my aircraft' the first officer did not immediately relinquish control. The marshaler gave us an emergency stop. I immediately brought the aircraft to a stop and the first officer, now turning back to see the marshaler, slammed on the brakes, after I had brought the aircraft to a stop. His application merely jerked the aircraft. The marshaler advised me to cut the engines. We deplaned our 3 passenger, then inspected the aircraft. Maintenance cleared both aircraft in 5 mins. Our aircraft had a 2 inch scrape of paint (no metal). The other aircraft had no damage as a result of the aircraft touching.
