Interesting Fact: For each time Luca adds a musical layer, we have put a new line on the right side of the screen. In total, he is playing 5 layers simultaneously.

I heard Coolio made a rap version of this.

I think Luca lost his loop pedal a long time ago and just decided to roll with it

This is the best version of Weird Al’s ‘Amish Paradise’ I’ve ever heard

Great tribute to a master, RIP Coolio

Everybody gangsta until this guy starts playing gansta's paradise.

Before I watched this video, I was like “oh an old school rap piece played on guitar, nice”. I have watched it 37 times and I bought a guitar yesterday. Luca you are a god. I wish the best for you.

He has two hands, and one guitar.. but it sounds like 4 different people and 4 different instruments. So rad!

RIP Coolio! Another lyrical legend taken away, but man what a legacy! Gangster's Paradise done fingerstyle is absolutely on point and a great cover method!

He doesn't play guitar, he speaks it. And It's probably his native language.

это просто !!! да просто нет слов !! он поет гитарой . я прослушал раз двести может больше . талант вне уровня !!

*I've watched hundreds of them on KZfaq, but I haven't seen anyone like him. I think he is the most talented finger style guitarist in the world. He is one of the guys who made the guitar speak with his own interpretations. He can easily add other instruments to the guitar. If this man's brain was examined, neuropsychology would be rewritten :)*

Man this guy needs to be more famous xD

Hitchin' up the buggy, churning lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another

Rest in Peace to te man that made one of the best songs of our time

Thank you for Crediting Stevie Wonder. A lot of kids don't actually know where Coolio got that ENTIRE SONG from lol

I have never clicked this fast on my notifications

So finally Luca compressed his multiple guitars into one since the last few videos!!!

Lyrics As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of You better watch how you're talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but I gotta loc As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Look at the situation they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away I'm livin' life, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way things is going, I don't know Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the ones we hurt, are you and me? Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin' It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me If they can't understand it, how can they reach me I guess they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the ones we hurt, are you and me? Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the ones we hurt, are you and me?

mind blown. every time. every. single. time.

831 people are disappointed he wasn’t spinning a plate on top of his head at the same time!

Such a great idea of playing this legendary song and your rendition is absolutely phenomenal! Keep up the inspiring work!

This is amazing! To see and hear it is everything! Sweetness to the soul.

I've listened to a lot of covers of this tune and more. But this cover... I always come back here when I'm sad. Thank you Luka for this wonderful music!

Them: "You cant play rap music without a heavy bass line!" Luca: "Hold my glass of wine."

I never seen someone play as clean as this guy does.

The scenery in each of he's videos are just insane

I love when people come on these videos like “OMG that’s impossible!” Clearly it’s not because Luca’s doing it! Every prodigy starts with a dream and determination; how far one reaches on the first rests on how much of the latter is applied. Just remember that the dream doesn’t have to be specific; what is meant for one isn’t always the forte of another, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have something they can pursue with equal fervor and skill.

Lotta people might not get that he's seriously multi-tasking on that guitar. Playing multiple parts at the same time.

the song says "Gangsta's paradise" but the place says "This is America"

Completely astonishing. You're just incredible and you've a real talent dear man. Lovely.

Luca please do not stop making music you make me appreciate how amazing humans can be

You inspired me to try harder at guitar and I'm thankful for you and your insane talent

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain But that's just perfect for an Amish like me You know, I shun fancy things like electricity At 4: 30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

Ещё раз послушал - это просто нереально! И это пример как нужно быть на своём месте! Профессионалом!

Cuántos instrumentos esta tocando ???, 1...2...3... y más ¡¡¡ wow !!! Impresionante !!! Muy buen guitarrista !!! Excelente !!! Toda obra que ejecuta lo hace transformando la guitarra en una orquesta. Estudié en un Conservatorio desde los 6 años hasta los 12 años y he visto muy buenos guitarristas, en todos mis años de vida (hoy tengo 70 años) pero con Luca hay que sacarse el sombrero, es "la excelencia". Sólo hay que mirar la posición de las manos y dedos para darte cuenta que es un virtuoso de la guitarra.

I'm a computer scientist and I heard researchers are making a new multi-tasking processor after taking inspiration from this man

Damn no nut november really is hard

Really just incredible. All of your stuff is. So filled with emotion. ❤❤❤

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of Luca, I take a look at my guitar and wonder how he does this what the fuca!

We need 10 hours version

Everybody Gangsta till Luca Stricagnoli pulls out his Guitar.

Your music is so beautiful. You’re an inspiration. I wish I could take a look inside your mind. Your covers literally make me smile with tears and chill bumps. That’s how you know it’s good. Thanks man.💯💯💯❤️

it shows how deep rap classics are in the culture and how hard we love it so these guys make tribute to them on guitar

Masterpiece, the only one. Nobody like you my friend. We have to invent new words everytime you upload a new vid. AMAZILLIANT

I love how he just casually puts a link to learn this in the description like "Hey! wanna learn a piece your never gonna be able to play?(if you do learn it congrats i take my hat off to you sir)"

going to be honest... this melody in acoustic form. is one of the most BEAUTIFUL melodies I've EVER heard. RIP coolio

Thank you. The way you play always lifts my spirits. Hats off to you for your skill.

The fact that this was released on the exact date the Sonic movie was supposed to come out adds a layer of humor that I really appreciate.

This has got to be the best cover I've ever heard of this song. I've never searched for headphones so quickly 😂

Wow!!!! Amazing seriously impressive!

Perfect arrangement and performans, great job!

The thumbs down is Not the Download button people

so l've made this my ringtone.

Beautiful! Well done! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

One of the most amazing artists I've ever heard.

I need a Coolio reaction to this immediately!!!!!!!!

It's incredible the amount of layers that is being focused on and he's up there making it look easy! This is a true talent and artist at best! Great guitar work my man!

This Sounds Amazing!!! Super Great Job!!!

This is phenomenal. I have watched this video a thousand times

Well, at least KZfaq didnt bring me here years later. Damn, this is fucking awesome.

His timing is actually frightening. This guy is a robot. Perfect!

Я даже и подумать не мог ,что такое возможно. Это просто бесподобно. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

I could cry this is a great version of one of my fav songs

Вообще не понимаю, за что дизлайки? Это БОЖЕСТВЕННО!!!

The skill involved here, let alone the natural talent. Amazing.

Pure talent and excellent audio quality !

Luca you are one from THE BESTS! Hello from Bulgaria!

Imagine if this man and davie504 collabed

Wow! I've run out of words to describe this sheer genius

Just amazing.

This guy took guitar playing to a new level🙌🏻

just out of the view is a guy holding Luca;s beer.

Great job, guy! Congrast from Hungary.

Mesmerizing
