Truly incredible. There was a lot of criticism of Satie at his time, that his work was lacking in skill, and overly simplistic. Perhaps they thought this because they couldn't play it with the depth and skill that the music required for it's mastery. I wonder if Satie's work was written in code, and if so, this is what it would sound like when deciphered by someone who could read it.

[@SocksWithSandals]

He was the Einaudi of his day.

[@FatihErdemKzlkaya]

Satie actually used to say that he was writting "background" music, and he would get angry when people paid attention. You were not supposed to pay attention. It was meant to play in the background. His contemporaries probably did not understand what he meant.

[@dianamgallagher]

I am a beginner guitarist and this is now on my bucket list of songs to play before I die. So beautiful.

[@sidroksasalways]

Lmao. Same here. It's amazingly tough tho 😤😭

[@bruhrewind9623]

Its surprising an easy song to learn once you get the basics down

[@PHEONIX1592]

... someone escaped the final fantasy games to play guitar in the real world....

[@KingOfShadows1500]

Every feminist ever: ''Women only get comments about their looks and never about their work. Men don't have the same problem.'' This comment section: ''Hold my guitar.''

[@VitorEmanuelOliver]

Exactly what I was thinking lol

[@dsofiap15]

I would love to have the tab to play this sooooo badddddd. I think this arrangement is beautifull.

[@LokeshThakur]

[@azorailke6057]

Leon S. Kennedy!

[@asukalangleysoryu6695]

When you started playing the melody line with artificial harmonics I literally went "Oh, come on!!"

[@niccolopaganini1782]

Proud to come out victorious, came straight, still straight ! The performance was great tho

[@mockingragerecords9559]

I didn't know Leon F. Kennedy plays guitar 👏

[@tugsalejandro1499]

I was trying to learn this music on my guitar but I realize it is much harder to learn your hairstyle.

[@bellasara65]

What a pristinely beautiful rendition! Thank you so much, you made my day!

[@theramtorch]

he looks a white character in an anime about vampires or something

[@YobanesCR]

You make a guitar sound like a harp. Great work to acquire such a beautiful talent

[@meursault7030]

I think my girlfriend would enjoy this video but I'm literally going to hide it from her because I'm intimidated by how attractive and talented this bloke is. 😅

[@altpotus6913]

Love Erik Satie's music, you do it most excellently.

[@peterron5522]

Cut my nails really short for the first time in a decade after watching you stuff. Love it when you play soft. The sound from playing with skin instead of nails is so soothing! Now I can choose between the skin and nails. It’s amazing! Thank you so much man

[@willfowler8540]

Dang, I play guitar fingerstyle but I cut my nails

[@Matois1]

I don't think he played no nails at this point, you can see the long nail on the thumb

[@beaconing7689]

Nails make strings have extra high pitch

[@Matois1]

@@beaconing7689 extra bright timbre, actually

[@miguelnavarrete3105]

This guy´s hair style was ahead of its time. And of course, a great guitar player (the guy, not the hair).

[@TonyfromBham]

Everything about this performance amazes me: the tempo, the arrangement, the technique, the harmonics, . . . everything.

[@joeyabuki5959]

You forgot the hair. 😛

[@cthulhuhalloween5956]

I love listening to Gymnopédie No. 1, and hearing it on the guitar is very nice! Love listening to anything you play!

[@michaelfarrell4824]

Drop that guitar right now! You need to get to Spain right away to save the Presidents daughter Ashley from Los Iluminados

[@andreyk3036]

Ladies listen to his hair...lol

[@starkdroid8701]

Never knew Leon Kennedy was such a virtuoso

[@GonnyParson]

Leon, what's happened with Ada? I'm joking. You are super talented

[@qquark99]

This is a superb ethereal arrangement. The harmonics at 1:48 are heavenly

[@jacobsimmons118]

Leon Kennedy before joining Raccoon city police Amazing performance!

[@owiiio7908]

As I watched at least 10 of your recent vids, I can say that you've become younger in behaviour, u now use guitar stand and you smile now often

[@Odelayderado]

He looks like James Sunderland from silent hill 2

[@PAULORICARDO-tq8cu]

leon out of reident evil got a guitar on inventory

[@caglayandogan5800]

Omg! Do you play the guitar when you don't kill zombies? "Staaaars!"

[@Wahatoyas]

Bro has it all, the looks, the fashion and the talent

[@RelaxingMusic95387]

*It really doesn't matter how good you are at doing something, there's always gonna be some European kid that can do it better.*

Omg, those harmonics. My eyes are watering, in a good way.

[@alex164]

Tasteful, serene, beautifully played. Thank you

[@fbi6555]

Everyone’s pregnant in the comment section.

So this is what you do when you're not shooting zombies in the head

[@richardbenitez7803]

It’s amazing that so many guys like this piece. Says something basic.
