The Sound Of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel) - Luca Stricagnoli - Reversed Slide Neck Cover

TOUR DATES
www.lucastrica...
DESCRIPTION
For this cover of “The Sound of Silence”, I based myself on the wonderful version by "Disturbed". The add-on guitar neck you see it´s called “Reversed Slide Neck (RSN)”: it was invented by me and designed by Davide Serracini. If you are interested in owning one, you can send me an email at [e-mail]
For our vision of the scenario, Meg and I specifically purchased the bench and the street lamp and carried them to the video studios, where we set everything up.
I recorded this piece using some fantastic microphones by Lewitt Audio:

I even don't know what is more satisfying: the music or the performance

[@davidhortondaa3126]

This guy blows my mind! Every single time!!! Whenever I stumble upon one of his video's I click the loop button and just get lost in his rhythm! What a treat! Keep on Rock'n on Luca!!!

[@wolverine712]

The setup lines up perfectly with the lyrics of the song. Both the music and the setup speak to the soul. Luca pays attention to every single detail. A true artist right here !!

[@J05HBR0WN]

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would imagine this played as a duet between 2 talented guitarists! Unbelievable talent. Keep these amazing covers coming, sir! Luca Skill Level: Yes

[@jazznblues9496]

"The Sound of Silence" is me when the video finishes and I look at my guitar...

[@pwnwin]

Pick it up, dude. Go for it. Anything.

[@rickrolluniversity2237]

Amazing Luca. There is no end to the depth of your talent. I hope one day you might return to Spokane. Would love to see you live on stage again.

[@francomancini6683]

Uno dei più belli in assoluto, complimenti

[@guinness77100]

It's strange that this song faded so soon from the public mind. It's incredibly powerful. The melodic phrase is hypnotic and introspective. Luca's approach is wonderful and absolutely honors the soul of that song. Thanks!

[@MegaTUHAU]

The smoothest guitarist player ever so far, and unique instrument..

! Interesting !... Nylon or metal strings ?

[@JamesWilson-ws2wi]

Fucking amazing!!! Unbelievable

[@jianchen2550]

They should produce more guitars with only that lower neck for normal people like me, who can not multitask. It sounds so good.

[@sky13scraper]

[@rayquaza277]

Man, you never fail to impress aye. Not only with just your awesomeness playing, but the atmosphere of your videos too. Pure brilliance. :D

[@transformationearthmusic]

Performers and performances like this make you thankful to be alive on this Earth

[@Terra-Incognlta]

BTW, Beside his out of this world talent, can we appreciate his camerawoman? Lightining, backround, costumes, angles, recording... are incredible. You match together perfectly.

[@enricomosca8114]

You know that he holds the camera using his feet and films like that

[@coryCuc]

I agree with the setting, the lighting and camera angles etc...HOWEVER, on this video, I think the cuts were a little too much. Just a little over edited for my taste, but who am I to say, I don't have any videos on youtube with millions of views lol.

[@mikehunt9810]

Right! Way to go Meg! This is a simple yet beautifully shot video. Absolutely beautiful!

[@jamiep4674]

Don’t label it talent man, this is tens of thousands of hours of mastery. Sleepless nights, dedication of entire lifetime to become something of this nature.

[@megpfeiffer]

Thanks guys! We appreciate your words very much! 🤍🤍🤍

[@bekacynthia]

😂😂😂😂👏👏👏

[@bluebonics8079]

It's a fantastic cover, but it's just a cover my friend.

[@bekacynthia]

@@bluebonics8079 right...who cares? Like any normal human being can do what Luca does. Let’s be a little less jealous, shall we?

[@bluebonics8079]

@@bekacynthia You can get a little less upset over benign comments. What about "it's a fantastic cover" has you so upset? Any normal human being can practice to do this, and any normal human being can learn to play a guitar with a slide attachment like that, though it will take a lot (and then more) of practice to play as cleanly as he does, because he's clearly practiced and has great guitar skills. But there's nothing wild he came up with here. He took an easy song to cover, and has a slide guitar attachment and plays a simplified harmony with only one of the melodic lines from it. Maybe you should stop fetishizing things you don't understand the complexity of? Just because it sounds nice doesn't make it something overly wild, but again, it's a fantastic cover, so go cry because I think it's fantastic...? Edit: and wow, I went and watched some of his other videos. He does have some actual wild shit that blows this one out of the water. I can see why people love him, but this cover doesn't compare to some of his better ones in terms of the technical ability it would take to play. I think the issue is a lot of non-musicians don't really understand what they're hearing, so they can't differentiate a song that is beautifully played and fantastic but not difficult like this one, with some of his others that are difficult. Edit 2: And you're a musician... you should know better!

[@JoshosaurusRex]

I don't know what a reversed slide neck is, but take my money!!!

[@HuckFlynn]

I love the fitting setup: "''Neath the halo of a streetlamp // I turned my collar to the cold and damp" and played this beautiful song. Thank you for sharing this, Luca.

[@MrHandoverfist]

I've been listening to this song for more than 50 years. yours is the first remake that gave me chills and I can so appreciate your talented original presentation to an old FAVORITE I still listen to several x a week. I will listen to you to now...thank you SOOO Much. your talent shared is nourishing food for the soul

[@Samuel-H]

If you get a chance you should watch the live version that Disturbed did of this song on Conan. I reckon it will give you chills as well as it’s one of the best live performances, Davids voice is powerfully beautiful.

[@miletello1]

@@Samuel-H beat me to it

[@Zyets]

Totally agree! One of my favorite song of all time. I sang it as a lullaby to my daughter when she was just a couple days or weeks. I mean she is our first child. First kids are always a challenge. You don't know how to handle them, they always cry, so many new things to learn. This song was like a magic. It was calming her down and making her fall asleep each time. It trully means a lot to me. This cover is one of kind. Luca did marvelous job. I trully love it as much as i love the original song.

[@dorseyblack9833]

​@@Samuel-H This cover by Disturbed is one of the only ones that I consider to be better than the original. I hope you like Rock.

My jaw usually drops whenever I see Luca play. This one however took me on a different field. Calm and free. For 3 minutes and 47 seconds I forgot about the current state of our world. More power to you Luca. You never cease to impress me.

[@bmw328igearhead]
