Just came here after some time, and I am so happy to read your comments. Thank you, everyone! And I am always grateful to Candyrat Records for giving me a chance back then.

There are guitarists that are good. There are guitarists who are excellent. There are guitarists who could be considered geniuses or virtuosos. Then there is the type of guitarist who demonstrates such an uncanny level of skill - such a prodigious amount of talent - that you think that he is not human. This sort of guitarist is on such a level, with his creativity and dexterity, that he makes you reevaluate your worth as a human being. Luca Stricagnoli is that type of guitarist. His playing, as demonstrated here, is nothing short of a superpower in its own right. I stand in awe of you sir!

He is the number one and the number two guitarist of all time

I played guitar for 26yrs, I can no longer play. I was a passenger in an automobile accident and am now a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the shoulders down. Right after my accident, I could not even listen to music anymore for like 5yrs! Then I found this video. I got so emotional, I bawled my eyes out! Slowly now, because of your amazing talent... I can begin to enjoy music again... Thank you for that, Luca.

I nailed the G chord today :)

0:00 Do you have Tabs for that? 0:05 Nevermind...

It's like the dude has two separate brains and dexterity functions to be able to play two different melodies on two different guitars at the same time with one hand focusing on each... How in the world his musical brain can process to play each melody at once with each individual hand is just legend...

I saw this guy live. He performs this song last in his set because he says himself it's the hardest one he does. Any musician watching this will know just how amazing it really is (not that other people can't be equally impressed). But he has his guitar tuned so that when he takes a capo off, which was only half covering the fretboard, and moves the other one, he's switched keys from major to minor. Simple in theory, but I've never seen anyone else do it. Luca is playing the lead, rhythm, drums, bass, and vocals all at the same time. To tell you the truth, I'm not even really into this kind of playing. I like the Randy Rhodes and SRVs and Pages of the world, but this guy is on his own level.

oh man I love the way he didn't tone down the accompaniment during the solo. He actually turned it UP to flow with the lead properly and just played the solo within the rest of the mix. I've probably heard every cover available of this song especially solo and acoustic covers and this is the only one that kept the power of the original jam. Hell, he outclassed it. Mind-bending!

He's literally invented 3 or 4 new guitar techniques I've never seen before just in order to play this song - the guy is amazing, this is real dedication to your Music

Jesus... this guy makes a grown man cry with emotion

If you thought rubbing your tummy and patting your head was hard, check this out.

282 people wouldn't know talent if it slapped them upside their heads with two guitars at the same time Simply awesome. Thank you for completing my life.

If there is limit to human skill, creativity or talent this guy just broke all of them .....just amazing

I thought I would have seen it all with my 64 years of age, but what I am watching now is the climax of guitar playing. I am struck by Luca's calmness and ingenuity as he is playing his instruments at a level that clearly defies believe. Although this video was posted five years ago, I cannot help but leave a comment at this brilliant piece of performance.

seriously, when aliens invade and demand us to justify our existence just send this guy out. This has to top the list of one of the greatest pieces of art ever made.

3:48 that ninja capo move though :D not fair

I’ll never play with the kind of talent and skill Luka has but I’ll never stop playing-playing music is so satisfying to my soul.

Un conto è suonare benissimo una chitarra, un conto è suonare a questi livelli qualcosa che si basa su chitarre, ma che nessun altro al mondo è in grado di suonare nemmeno discretamente. Quello che appare è già strabiliante, ma il lavoro di preparazione e di arrangiamento, che non appare, è altrettanto incredibile

I just don't understand why anyone bothers to dislike.. I mean disliking anything. Okay I've disliked some Bieber songs (guilty) but I never dislike anything.. So why in the world would you dislike something as beautiful and genious and awesome like this? I just don't understand some people..

These kind of vids make me wonder what the hell am I doing with my life

Producers: "Which guitar do you want to play" Him: "yes"

Day 1: extremely depressed after I watched this virtuoso Day2: extremely motivated to do my best in learning guitar in this life.

I used to play guitar .. then I watched this .. now in my garden .. my guitar looks great with strawberries growing from the soundhole..

Guns N Roses should be forced to sit in a room together for 7 minutes just to watch this.

So everyone's seen a guy play a 3-neck guitar at this point. But this here is so insanely creative and original and clever. He switches the capos around just before solo like a pro. He added a set of strings to one guitar just to get all the vocal notes tuned to an open string. His percussive skills on the guitar is amazing too. You'll probably never see a guitar player like Luca Stricagnoli anywhere. He's truly one of a kind.

I'm not sure which amazes me more: Luca Stricagnoli's incredible performance of this song on a dual guitar setup, or the thousand people who've disliked this video, combined with all the negative critiques of his playing ability. I play guitar, but am NOT an accomplished guitarist; however, because I've played the instrument, I recognize and appreciate the intense amount of focus and concentration that is required to play the rhythm on one guitar, while simultaneously playing the melody on a separate guitar. MOST people can only focus on doing one thing at a time. On any given day you can easily witness evidence of that fact if you drive a car on public roadways. I'll be driving down the highway behind someone going 10 or 15 miles below the speed limit, all the while observing them swaying from one side of the lane to other, and occasionally, they'll cross over into the adjacent lane, and then swerve back into their own lane. When I get to a place where I can pass them, as I go by, I'll look and see that they are talking on their cell phone, which is the very reason why they are driving so slowly and drifting back and forth in the lane. When people can't talk and drive at the same time without losing the concentration required to focus on their driving, then I think it's pretty damned amazing that this guy has such a high level of concentration and focus, that he can play two guitars at the same time, regardless of the arrangement.

The ultimate definition of "one-man show"... amazing.

I had the great good fortune of watching Luca perform this LIVE on Tuesday as part of the International Guitar Night US tour 2017. For anyone who doubts, there are no tricks here, other than pure virtuosity. He has to tune to three different capos on the main guitar before playing, and he does switch between them on the fly, all the while maintaining that wonderful percussion. Unreal. Unimaginable. Unforgettable. He shared the stage with 3 other talented guitarists, and the duets were incredible. The tour is in Natick MA tonight, and then they head out to the west coast. If you are going to be anywhere near one of the stops, you owe it to yourself to go.

3 types of guitarists 1: Beginners 2: Pros 3: Luca Stricagnoli

If you close your eyes its like a whole band playing. Magical.

1% talent, 99% work. And that 1% is very much aswell.

I just threw my guitar away and started playing the triangle.

There was a time he struggled to play a basic chord. Never give up!

He has an amazing talent, and he has developed it brilliantly. That being said, I'm not giving up on my own guitar playing and hanging my head in shame, even though I am pretty lame compared to him. I enjoy my guitars, knowing full well that I probably will never be on that level. I don't care, I'm not trying to compete with him, I'm just striving to improve, and enjoy my playing. I love playing the guitar even knowing that he and many other great players are far ahead of me. Kudos to Luca, he is an inspiration, not a discouragement.

WTF did i just watch? This is among the most amazing thing i've ever seen. I've been playing guitar for nearly 20 years but, after watching this man play, I think its time to sell my collection.

This is absolutely art! I guess he demanded more from himself and started inventing something like this... those are the people who can change the world of music...

Legendary work!!

black magic was involved in this i reFUSE to believe someone this talented exISTS and i can’t even serve water without spilling

If God played guitar it would be something like this. The beauty of the music and the skill with which it is rendered transcends the realm of art and enters that of worship. :)

Kinda sad to see all the people saying that they’re going to give up. This man should inspire you to play guitar! Even if you’re not as talented as he him guitar playing like any skill takes time and practice. Don’t give up people.

everyone hears music, some feel it in their very soil. Luca hears, feels, touches,tastes, and sees it, then projects it to others. This is beyond words, it is food for the soul.

From a woman's perspective, Luca plays like a dream and looks like one! Dinner AND a Show!

I've played the guitar for 25 years. How can anyone be this good? It seems otherworldly.

How does anyone even grow fingernails like that? They must be like steel. I can't think of a better reason to need them. They're like implanted guitar picks on each finger. Amazing.

"hey Luca where is your band?" "I AM THE BAND."

Stages of Impressed (With mouths wide open) - 1. He plays the whole intro with his right hand on a guitar placed on the table, including two pairs of HAMMER ONS and PULL OFFS 2. He then proceeds to play the entire melody on the table-guitar while playing the background on the one on him 3. The background is the INTRO WITH THE ROOT NOTES!!!!! WITH ONE HAND!!!! TAPPED!!!! 4. HE PLAYS THE FRICKIN SOLO IN FINGERSTYLE 5. HE'S CONTROLLING THE CAMERA PANNING WITH HIS FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6. (But not the least) - It's actually a beautiful rendition, too... Man you're too good... Just drop a number of years plus hours per day of practice so we can at the very least have a sense for where and how to aim man

I have seen and showed this vid to maybe 1000 people, and to this day... I cant imagine ANYBODY recreating this. What a work of art.

Once upon a time, he would have been a hero, a millionaire, a star. Twenty years too late my friend. Very talented though.

3:44 best part -- the build up into key change into bridge..... INCREDIBLE

His talent is just on a different level, a whole new level that I can't comprehend. I'm listening to this with headphones & the quality sound of his talent is sending me goose bumps all over my body!!!!

What impresses me is that Luca's performances aren't just amazing technical feats, but are musically excellent. They're great, even if you're not watching what he's doing.

the most beautiful thing i've ever heard

I'm still struggling with learning an F chord. This makes me realize how bad I am. Wow.

You constantly amaze me!

Besides the insane level of musicianship, big kudos to the audio and video people creating this video! Well done!

I can't imagine what would be good enough for the dislikers!

Holy Shit, this might be the most AMAZING thing I've ever seen, and I've seen some crazy, insane, buck-wild shit in my 44 years, and this might just top the list. Absolutely Brilliant!

Brilliant arrangement and performans, great job!

Only one word to describe it amazing

I think You are THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS IN THE WORLD

the words HOLY SHIT come to mind when watching that...Luca, you are a genius, a gifted musician, and display heart, passion and intense creativity with every note that you play, the world needs to discover more people like you.....you are the reason we do what we do....you are the physical embodiment of passion and creativity....thankyou for sharing your gift!!

I've seen a lot of amazing things done with a guitar, but nothing like this. Congratulations Luca, you have taken the guitar to a whole new level like I've never seen or will be able to duplicate.

My favorite song!! Wow!! Amazing how you performed this. Masterpiece!

I have never seen such performances. Beyond paradise

This guy is insanely good. Dam it, I was so entranced I almost forgot to breath. Now I've drooled down my shirt. Doh!

Puro arte Dios bendiga su habilidades

Que dom maravilhoso

He's like, "Only have two hands? Don't be a pussy! That's plenty to play two guitars. Hell, I'll throw in some percussion while I'm at it. Who needs three people? That's weak." lol

My mouth was wide open throughout the whole video. I am beyond amazed, Luca you are seriously a freak of nature. You're the 21st century Michael Hedges I tell ya

Naturally gifted. Just awesome

Enjoyed this very much! Thanks for sharing..Music calms my soul.

This guy is incredible! Really must've put school, work and his social life on hold for perfection such as this!

You stand among the GREATEST OF GUITARISTS.... Well done .... Thanks for sharing....

Ich habe Luca gestern abend live erlebt, bei der NACHT DER GITARREN. Er ist ein super Künstler, ein toller Mensch, der selbst seine CDs verkauft, mit Signature selbstverständlich, und keinem Gespräch ausweicht. 👍👍👍

I'm just a fan of so many songs you've recompiled and can tell I'm love with it all 🎶 Bless you Luca !

Absolutely breathtaking

oh my god!!! 😱😱😱😓😓this guy crossed d heights of creativity!!! amazzzing work!! I wonder, how he did this and I wonder, how around 342 people disliked this!!!

Beautiful Luka....

I used to watch it on Facebook, I was only in grade 5 in 2015 until now, 2021, I am now in grade 9 and I'm still listing

Love this guy, absolutely amazing! could listen to his music all day

Some points raised by this video: 1. It seems 252 people had siblings for parents. 2. How the FCK is that guitar still in tune by the end? 3. This is beyond amazingly good; I feel like my life just changed . . .

Mind blowing, amazing!

Luca, you have proven that anything is possible when you have the passion and the drive to make it happen! You have assuredly done some amazing things that others said couldn't be done... and I thank you for your dedication and perseverance. In just a few short minutes, you have shown me more of what can be done on guitar than I ever dreamed possible.

i dont think even Slash himself can play this! Very nice and awesome!

WOW.....incredible. ..son you are one talented individual. ..never seen nothing like it ....ever!!!

Wow...this almost 6 years old?!?!?!?!?! I remember when you released this Luca!!! AMAZING man - I still enjoy this as much today as I did the first time I heard it!!

Absolutily great

The strength and flexibility in this guys left hand is extraordinary.

Before I clicked, I was like "this is gonna be heaven on earth and I'm so ready for it." And it was. But I don't think I was ready.

I still love it!! You are an amazingly, awesome guitarist! Never stop!❤

one of the toppest of all the top pieces of music genius I´ve ever seen. This is how powerful music can be in all its glory!! Thank you man !!

This is true talent! I bow in your greatness my sir.
