That's a real god gift.. Let your works so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven.. God bless you..keep up the good work

[@ardradiva]

Never seen anyone use the entire guitar and all its possibilities for percussion and melody better than this.

[@johnmcgahern3946]

Not just his guitar playing but his percussion is right in the pocket SIMULTANEOUSLY!

[@xstian]

The camera work is absolutely stunning and the performance is just fabulous too might be my favorite arr. just behind the Eminem medley

[@bekacynthia]

His Eminem medley! I got addicted to it

[@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]

@@bekacynthia Yes, good recording engineers can record good-sounding audio live outside, I don't know if you know it. For instance, you can enjoy an authentic performance without posing here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIO6hmisjaiaj8U

[@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

[@MF175mp]

The scuff marks worn on his guitar are actually there from he beating and scraping it for various sound effects

[@ExcelCannabisLimited]

I thought the same thing. Like damn it’s a whole freakin band playing

[@ExcelCannabisLimited]

@@ivantacorda2463 I’ve listened to peters version at least 500 times and although similar, not the same

[@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.

[@MiThreeSunz]

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!

Damn. The editing that must gone behind this video must have been INTENSE

[@jivo26]

Marcin Patrzałek and Alexandr Misko are my favorites

[@fdik0vb]

Need to edit the Wikipedia article about this song: Alexandr Misko - lead and backing vocals, synthesizer, piano Alexandr Misko - lead and backing vocals Alexandr Misko - electric guitar, backing vocals Alexandr Misko - synthesizers Alexandr Misko - bass guitar Alexandr Misko - drums, cowbell, gong, additional percussion Alexandr Misko - congas, shakers, additional percussion Alexandr Misko - 12-string acoustic guitar, backing vocals Alexandr Misko - percussion, marimba

[@fdik0vb]

@SanctusDei TV kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCyeZeXZax3o5I shows how many fingers are needed to play like Alexandr does.

[@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.

[@itswill1153]

It is really fascinating how innovative a guitar can be, all the things your able to do is amazing.

[@sticklebrickz]

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.
