Just back here to honor yesterday, June 17th. It has been a full year since Jason passed away. Love all you guys, and thanks for all the support. I miss him dearly, and if he were here, he would be watching each and every video. Thanks, Michael. Still can't thank you enough for doing this.

Have you reacted to Marcin before? Just the tippy top of the iceberg with him. He's the best in the world.

To be alive during the time of Marcin is a blessing. haha The kid is unreal. And he's only going to get better, somehow.

[@mariantarina]

Marcin is an incredible fingerstyle and percussion guitarist. An experience to listen and watch.

[@heartlandokie4485]

I saw one reaction to him playing from another guitar player who said, I just thought I could play guitar, Im just gonna sell everything and bake pies from now on .

Marcin's version of "kashmir" is what I stumbled across first.

Marcin is a true prodigy in a time of stale donuts. He gives me hope for the future.

[@sk8ermGs]

Lol he’s awful in comparison to most guitarists out there

[@sk8ermGs]

@@JFlatby tbh you’re right I was being dramatic, he is an amazing talent for sure. I Just think he goes over the top with the percussive technique and isn’t as good at making a nice sounding song with it compared to someone like Mike Dawes.

[@TheZer0wtf]

It is not a time of stale donuts lol. There are so so many people, kids even, that not only know all the guitar greats, but incorperate it to their own style and are just INCREDIBLE. internet has it's downsides but damn some talented people have used it to do what 20y ago would be impossible.

[@dcarpenter85]

There are us mere mortals and then there are guys like Marcin, Mike Dawes, and Tim Henson. Human metronomes.

Hi Michael. this is the first time I've seen you and what you do. I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you express yourself which is very telling of who you are, a person with a big heart. I was played afro-cuban percussion for around 40 years and recently stopped because of ME/CFS. I decided to learn how to play guitar because one day I heard someone play zouk style guitar. I was really into it and was surprised how much I loved learning to play riffs on my newly acquired electric guitar. This was about 3 years ago. I played for around 6 months and low and behold, I ended up with trigger finger in both 4th fingers. I had to stop playing for a few years now and am finally receiving hand therapy. Hopefully one day if I can heal both fingers, one is almost healed 95 percent, I'll come back and join your community! Coincidentally, I just heard from a friend about Marcin and watched him play for the first time yesterday. He's quite the virtuoso!

[@jbentz1966]

Marcin is amazing. Followed him for a while! ❤

[@couz10]

You are like a kid in amazement. Love your passion! Marcin in on a completely other level, and we are all OK with it 😉

[@ralphmunn1685]

We don't often talk about "pocket" in guitar playing, but MAN does this guy have it! 🙏

[@sylwiawajda9866]

Marcin is incredible! You should definatelly check out more of his work. He does not just play but make all the arrangements by himself, he writes his own songs too. He even invents new sounds and definatelly uses the whole instrument to play. His left hand is so well trained that he can play the melody with just his left hand on a fretbpard and he has his right hand free to make all these mind-blowing percussive sounds. Check out his newest: Marcin - Carmen (opera)

[@verasohnikratochwill6314]

Marcin is tops!!!

[@PrestonDa12]

Been waiting for a Marcin react

[@ericellquist7007]

Thanks for this, your observations were fascinating. I have no musical knowledge AT ALL, but I know what works and what doesn't. My tastes are all over the place, I can appreciate all kinds of music if it IS music. There is a subtle logic beneath the flamboyance of his style that is very pleasing to hear. Its like the logic of movement when one is in the flow state, especially in dance or martial arts, you watch it, and even if you cannot replicate it, it speaks to you. Flow state logic approaches perfection even as the horizon of perfection recedes before you.

[@qulemans]

Marcin is inner area timewave.

[@dude6801]

Check out Carmen Habanera by Marcin as well, it will blow your mind.

[@grzegorzpotocki7098]

@Michael may we expect more Marcin here? Thanks!

[@alexz8803]

Loved it. It makes me hope that I can learn how to do triple somersault by listening to how to do one several times.

[@ranymangunsong1483]

Hi Mike, Marcin plays d guitar as if it's a piano with d body where he can drum and slaps and everything, that's how I see it. I play piano and I'm not a guitar person, BUT Marcin makes me love his guitar playing. Marcin actually plays with d whole body of d guitar, literally from top to bottom. Would U pls be kind to react to Marcin's other plays from classical to metal rock, such as Master of Puppets (Metallica) on one acoustic guitar, Still DRE, Habanera Carmen by Bizet. Thank U Mike.

[@Durmomo0]

This guy is a monster but unlike most really fancy players its still very musical and like you said its so percussive/rhythmic. I usually dont care for guitar stuff that is showy for showiness sake but this one is an actual song and its very good. Its not only insane its also good to listen to. Its not just some math rocky/angular/look at what I can do thing. This guy is unbelievably cool.

[@wendycrawford1792]

Just found out about this genius yesterday. Exquisite perfection and……. fun. Michael, have you heard of Jacob Collier? My daughter went to see him in Montreal. Introduced me to this mind blowing genius! Words can’t explain how talented this young man is. He is a singer, plays the piano and a bunch of other instruments. He’ll record himself singing several parts and then join it all together so that he’s harmonizing with himself x 8. He also has huge audiences humming as he directs two sections to hum higher or lower, harmonizing. He does a version of Moon River that is brilliant. He can take the Flintstone theme and rock it! Lovely to see you dedicate this Marcin number to a fan’s brother. How appropriate….. Fly Me To The Moon…..

[@greenatom]

A virtuoso isn't necessarily fun to listen to. Many aren't. This guy is a real pleasure.

[@sk8ermGs]

It’s the most painful guitar sound I’ve ever heard, how you can say that baffles me.

[@greenatom]

@@sk8ermGs He is more of a showy showman than I like, and I wouldn't settle down to a listening session of this kind of thing, but this is a lot of fun. The only bangin' and tappin' I really like on guitar is by Michael Hedges.

[@hardywatkins7737]

I don't think many people would actually put this music on at home and listen to it for enjoyment, whereas if he didn't do the percussive stuff they might. What Marcin does is a spectacle which only really works as a video or live performance.

🇵🇱❤️❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍🇵🇱Carmen on 1 guitar.🌹🌹🌹

[@moon_child_farm]

Please accept my heartfelt condolences Dave. Music will definitely help in the healing process and it is a blessing indeed to be part of a community that loves music and cares for one another. We are here for you. As far as the video, I am a a pretty hardcore jazz fan and this was a very cool arrangement. “Fly Me To The Moon” is naturally a swinging tune despite the tempo that it is typically performed at. To keep that swinging spirit while playing in this percussive style is an achievement in my opinion. Thank you for the recommendation! Be well brother.

[@DavidSmith-fz2xk]

Much love to you, brother. It's people like you and this community that truly help through the grieving process.

[@DavidSmith-fz2xk]

@marstafer i do play guitar...but what would I not understand if I didn't play? I can appreciate music even if I didn't play and my brother died and was a big fan of Marcin. I don't know what you're saying exactly.

Absolutely no offense Michael, but I love how you actually have no idea what to do and how to explain this. You sound like me after 1 week of guitar lessons😉. Marcin is unique and inexplicable. Your struggling, your facual expression i is just so funny. Of course I admire your skills but I didn't found yet anybody who could repeat him. He has big classic influence and I think this is his big advantage. So please don't get me wrong and have a good day Michael!
