[@timcurry7231]

I honestly believe Misko is one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the face of this earth. The sounds he can produce are not of this world and I would be happy if I could get 1/10 this good. Still so young too, but that being said I’m surprised you’re not known worldwide. I’m sure In out lifetime you’ll be regarded as one of the greats like Beethoven level fame. Truly inspiring and clearly so passionate about your craft, I hope to see you live sometime Misko, you’re incredible!

[@stephenwatson8154]

I agree, Misko is brilliant.

[@NickNicometi]

I was wondering about the camera work and how there are multiple views Would like to see the process in action.

[@enantiodromia]

The production is not realistic. The recording was obviously obtained in a studio setting, but the video has us watch a posing guitarist instead.

[@bekacynthia]

@@enantiodromia all artists record in a studio, I don’t know if you know it...there’s no way you can record live outside and sound good. Alexandr’s skills are beyond humanly possible, so I guess you’re just jealous.

[@enantiodromia]

I don’t know how this video got into my feed, but I’m so grateful it did! I’ve never seen or heard anyone orchestrate a guitar like this guy. Ridiculously impressive!

[@StayVCA98]

Those beat ups on his guitar is a mark of talent, genius and hardwork on music, truly amazing, what truly amazes me is that all of his guitar music sounds like an orchestra and complete, like it was singing too, wishing more from you!!

[@thorr18BEM]

Maybe instead of buying pre-faded jeans, he buys pre-beaten guitars ;p

[@ivantacorda2463]

Those beats are actually from peter benz, a pianist, u can look up to him in youtube as well

[@uliwidenhorn933]

Never would have thought that anyone could do better on " Africa " than Andy McKee did with only one guitar. You proved me wrong ! This is such a great version, that doesn`t miss any of the nuances of that great song. Congrats !

[@blainethemono19]

1) This is amazing and absurdly cool 2) Think it's preference. I think Andy's original performance in that red shirt is the best ever. Something in the way crushed the chorus. 3) Both are sick players

[@red_catharsis]

@@blainethemono19 that’s it! This is, in my opinion, more technically impressive, but when Andy hits the chorus of the song in that original recording there’s just something about the amount of feeling in it. It’s so full.

Talent like yours is why I left music and went into engineering. There is a level of passion for music so tangible... so evident. Didn't just drive you to create music, or even excel at performance... you created a new instrument to give a voice to your imagination and the sound you wanted to create. You obviously slaved over this.... I can "play", but so can a machine. It's math... you are... dude.. no words. may you get all the recognition you deserve. Thank you for sharing the evidence of your passion with the world and doing it your own way.

In a world where a song of this significance already has an acoustic fingerstyle cover of legendary proportions (by none other than Andy Mckee), seeing a new player attempt their own cover seemed futile. I just figured, "this guys got some balls, thinking he can cover a tune when Mckee's version is already iconic"... I couldn't imagine another acoustic interpretation of this song could still be unique and stand on it's own merits, it's creativity, its performance... But damn, you made it your own in such a unique way that, despite my presumptions, is wholly deserving of it's own interpretation. Bravo, Sir.
