I'M BURNING MY GUITARS! Marcin Patrzalek - "Toxicity" (System Of A Down) REACTION

[@Linda-l8i2u]

I think Marcin was 15 at the time of this video. He’s 24 now and even more skilled. He released an amazing album in September and has been touring extensively.

[@melvinthinks]

I noticed as soon as I made the video that his age was written in the description! 😆

This Marcin kid is a freaking virtuoso. As a guitarist you may really enjoy the interview Rob Scallon did with Marcin some time ago. It's some extraterrestial stuff you won't believe even after seeing him playing with your own eyes.

[@melvinthinks]

That sounds great. Cheers buddy! I'll try and check it out 👍

Is this the interview where he breaks his nail while playing? If so then that interview is freaking amazing and really shows how very little post-production he does on his performances. Mind blowing.

Thanks mate! 👍

[@tammyhill3798]

Welcome to the world of a young man who is considered the best percussive finger style guitarist in the world. I agree that you should watch the interview with Rob Scallon, it’s on Rob’s channel. You’ll definitely learn more about how he does what he does. Two of my favorite videos that he does. CARMEN HABANERA & one of his originals TIME CARRIES ME. i’m sure that others will give you more recommendations. If you go to his channel, you can see what might interest you. He does everything from classical to metal. You can’t go wrong with any of them. I love watching someone discover him. He’s absolutely amazing. Greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰

[@melvinthinks]

Thanks Tammy. The interview is on my watchlist - the one about the fingernails, I assume? Look forward to seeing it and hopefully talking about it in my next Marcin reaction.

[@tammyhill3798]

[@johonybrawo7434]

Just listen to his latest work you will be blown away man!

[@melvinthinks]

I can only imagine! I only started playing at 15 and he was already doing this at the same age 😆

[@Hoosieryakcats]

Love his classical tracks . Check out Paganini`s caprice #24 , Beethoven's fifth , and Bach's Tocata and fugue .

[@melvinthinks]

I've got a few of his modern compositions in my pipeline first, but hopefully I'll do some videos of his classical stuff too.

[@elizabethrossi7604]

He's also done one of MY favorites: "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana. He plays bass AND the drums as well as his guitar. It's a WOW piece! Thank you! BTW, I believe he was about 15 when he did this one.

[@melvinthinks]

Nirvana are in my top 5 bands of all time, so this song is high on my list. After I do Master Of Puppets, of course 😊

I can also listen to him all day. Great comment. Thanks. Hope to see more of him on You channel. Hard to recommend something of Marcin, because all is great. I think it'll be interesting to follow his development. So maybe something from his first album. The title song, his own composition "Hush".

oh, you have to check out his more recent stuff! he's released a new album this september, he's got plenty of great music on his channel. even an amazing track with tim henson from the band you "hate" - polyphia, haha. one of my favorites from him is his rendition of "caprice no. 5" by paganini. he threw in an original piece of his in the middle of it, and it just blends in so well. it's a couple years old, but it's absolutely amazing. i hope you continue to react to him. 😊

[@melvinthinks]

Hahaha! Love the Polyphia throw back 😆 If there is enough demand then I'm certainly open to more Marcin reactions. You just never know how the fanbase is going to take to you on the first time, so let's see. If they are all Polyphia fans, then I don't stand a chance! lol

[@cuttysark8017]

I love watching people who are this talented. It's a joy! I tried to learn the guitar as a teenager, but after a year I gave up as it never clicked so I'm amazed at people who have such command over something I could never master. Some of my favourite guitarists/bassists are Les Claypool, Buckethead, van Halen, Jeff Beck... but given your recent dabbling in Babymetal you might want to check out the guitar and bass solos on this "BABYMETAL | Rondo of Nightmare (w/ Mischiefs of Metal Gods Intro) | LIVE at Budokan Black Night" and the overall amazingness of this "Babymetal - Tales of the Destinies (Tokyo Dome Live 2016) Eng Subs"

Have you really only just discovered Marcin now? Where have you been living under a rock? You are late and far behind the peloton of reviewers. All the greats have been reviewing and writing about Marcin for years now. I'll tell you a bit about Marcin, but you can google the rest because I don't want to write an elaboration here. Marcin is currently the No. 1 guitar in the world. In this clip he is about 14-15 years old, but I don't want to check it exactly now. If you like metal then Marcin has some metal hits in his repertoire. Go to his channel on YT and there you will find everything you like. Marcin is a well-rounded musician and he plays practically everything that others play, but of those others only a few are able to play what Marcin plays and that is the difference and the phenomenon of Marcin. Marcin this year released his new album Dragon in Harmony, which is currently the best-selling album of instrumental music. This year he started a world tour and did his first North American and Asian tour, next year he will be touring Europe including GB. 😊😊.

[@melvinthinks]

Yes. I have been living under a rock. It's quite cosy if you have the right mattress.

They are one of my top 5 favorite bands all time all genres. However I know your stance on Black Metal so I'd understand if it is the latter.

Yeah Behemoth ain't really my thing tbh. Even saw them live a few times at festivals too. Respect them. Just not fond of them. And Polyphia just wind me up! 😆 Although I do think Tim Henson is pretty awesome. Their fans don't like me though. After my one (and probably only) Polyphia reaction!
