I like that Marcin respects but does not worship tradition. He also honors talent but realizes that he had to take a different path to be true to his creativity. My ears are grateful.

[@robinp2039]

So, he basically reinvented the guitar. Creative genius.

[@robertbrowerjr554]

Marcin, is not only a great wonder in the guitar world but as a human being who can share himself in such a way that he is also a teacher to all who listen!

[@thamashu]

Marcin turned out to be a very likeable person! Nice interview, thanks! 🙂

[@Musicandmore-yt4ts]

In first version of the guitar there was no polish, but I am Polish 😂 he is great, I am proud that there are still young people who can do something and not just show their lives on Instagram, he became one of the best guitarists on the world and he does not act like a star.

[@magdalenaludwicka3800]

Uwielbiam jego poczucie humoru

[@AuricVibe1111]

There are also “seasoned” individuals that have a deep appreciation for skill and craft. Keep developing your abilities. He is a lovely soul 🥰Blessings

[@Marguerite-wu3nw]

So he can play Classical and Flamenco, but yet again, he does it.... "a la Marcin".👍👍👍👍 Hats off to him! Freaking awesome!

[@davidbee8178]

Marcin is most definitely one of the world's most advanced and talented musicians . . . he reminds me a little of Tommy Emmanuel in certain respects but adds his truly unique on fire percussive sound - almost like he is playing two or three instruments simultaneously :-) a TRUE virtuoso - would LOVE to see him LIVE! (congrats to Ibanez for creating the MRC10 !!)

[@toooldtodie]

Why not the MRC22?

[@bolovolo6332]

He was 10 when he started

[@russellharris5072]

I already know what I need to,Marcin is a genius,untouchable,prodigy.I'm 76 and I want to live as long as I can so that I can see him mature as a player,that would be awesome....................................

[@malcolmkyle1872]

I’m sure I’ve watched all Marcin’s KZbin performances and really enjoyed this interview. Never really heard him speak at length and I’m so impressed with him. His talent, I should have realised flows from his intelligence and appreciation of his art. I’ll definitely buy his album, but he is so visual when he plays that to appreciate him fully it would have to be a concert performance and I would be in the queue for that! Good luck for the future Marcin ❣

[@2Chua]

Appreciate your pointing out how VISUAL Marcin is. Like some people have pointed out, there may be other guitarists as skilled, but Marcin has put together a highly marketable AND wonderful to watch (and hear) package. 👍

[@WimPrins13]

He is so talented and has so much depth … just great!

[@karinbreidel7957]

Somehow, he is superhuman with what he does and has already accomplished and, at the same time, super nice, authentic and natural. Amazing human being, wow ✨️🌟⭐️🎸🎸🪘🪘

[@erik1836]

Marcin's command of English is truly excellent. A hint of an accent but he never had to try to figure out what to say,what word to use or how to pronounce a word. His parents must be absolutely wonderful to be so supportive of him. He was very lucky in his choice of parents!

[@markmal8479]

Please, don't call him Marvin. His Polish name is Marcin. To achieve a close proper pronuciation of his name would be to read this: [MART-sin] with an accent on the first syllable.

So nice to hear him mention Michael Hedges. Even though he wasn't a big inspiration it was nice to hear this.

[@giovanniarena6240]

Siamo di fronte ad un genio, uno di quelli che nascono ogni 100 o più anni, usa una tecnica che non so se è nuova ma di sicuro il dominio di questa è unico, questo giovane sta scrivendo una pagina nuova nella storia della chitarra, esprimere una opinione complessiva verso questo giovane sarebbe esprimere un giudizio verso chi è molto più in la delle nostre conoscenze, il fatto sta che è tra i pochi che non basta con ascoltarlo bisogna vederlo.

[@laurachiar6086]

Esatto! ❤🙏

[@straytarnish9443]

❤ he said he loves playing the guitar the way he does because it's completely unattached from tradition❤ and that's awesome

[@user-fp2ck6tp5d]

This kid his hands are in fire he is unbelievable I have playing for forty years 🎉

[@krzysztofd9164]

No tak. Pozytywna energia bije od tego młodego człowieka, wybitnie utalentowanego, biegle władającego językiem angielskim. Z gitarą robi co chce, pewnie z perkusją zrobiłby to samo. Jak kiedyś w przyszłości, w jakimś interview powie, że mechanika pojazdów nie jest dla niego zagadką, to się wścieknę😀 Ps " Shine on You Crazy Diamond "🤍❤

[@joshgreen2164]

Such an awesome person with inhuman talent. Marcin continues to blow my mind.

[@martenss]

Extremely talented, intelligent and musically innovative young guitarist. Of course he doesn't want to be an another copy of Michael Hedges he has his own way to step. And many will follow, they are doing it already. Personally I can't wait for his new album and see how his career will progress in upcoming decades. ❤

[@monetka79]

I am totally agree, I can't wait for his first album, He is extremely talented and this makes him very attractive.

[@angiesherwood6472]

Well said!!

[@toooldtodie]

You should be patient because he's 22. :)

[@martenss]

@@toooldtodie i know 😂 Fortunately not a huge age difference between us so I may have a chance to see his career for a next few decades...though I can't even imagine how he will be playing in a few years because being 22 his level is insane already

[@charlesvanheyden3504]

This technical discussion is just as important and satisfying as his performances.

[@drdonvulcan8353]

I have played guitar since the early 60's and been influenced by Paul Simon, JT, Chet and TE but your playing was truly more emotional as I have ever heard. I will not try to do how you play but as a fingerstyle player I so very much appreciate your style and talent. Thank you for doing it your way, keep it up and the world will appreciate and know you!

[@angiesherwood6472]

What an amazing guy!! The thing I love most is that he is pure not only in talent but heart... Bringing pieces to his signature guitar from his father to making an instrument that is one of a kind!! I want one!! Happy Day Everybody!!

[@gritdeskovoroda6311]

His English is not his NATIVE LANGUAGE! This guy is just another level of a human being.

[@cherirose4463]

You mean the accent ? His English is a lot better than most native speakers. He is very articulate and precise with words. Besides he said he is Polish😂😂

[@fender7695]

What a weird comment.

[@darek4488]

I am Polish and when I was in UK for a funeral once I had a lengthy conversation with some older guy I didn't know. For 30 minutes he thought I was a Canadian, until I said that 2 days before the funeral I drove 1000km from Poland to the Netherlands, than took a plane from Amsterdam to London and he ask what I was doing in Poland anyway. He probably thought so because many other guests there were Canadian too. You see, English isn't that difficult for Poles who actually use it daily. Even when learning how to pronounce it word by word since English has no fucking rules and no structure when it comes to that. It is still way easier than Polish which is so difficult that even an average adult Pole keeps on making sporadic mistakes. Only really highly educated Poles speak Polish 100% clean, because it really takes an effort to keep it like that. Polish gets distorted and simplified whenever you speak fast and don't pay enough attention. And you can always tell someone is not a native. Even with both Polish parents speaking only Polish at home, if your family lived abroad you will not sound the same.

[@laurachiar6086]

Exactly!

[@mariediflorio9447]

He mentioned in another interview that if he never got into guitar he'd major in Linguistics as he Loves Languages. He speaks excellent English. I taught for 20 years phonics to Children. This man, by the way has a high IQ, and is Sane.

Marcin is Marcin and he plays in his league. His personality, talent and skills are galactic. He is downright captivating and charming to deal with and such a natural. Very contactable in conversation and has nothing of the star quality. What he does is galactic and Marcin is an alien who is about to get into his spaceship and fly off on an intergalactic journey. His global career is only just gaining momentum, but when it does, get your autographs now, because later you may not be able to reach that star in the celestial firmament.

Dear Andrey. You should have mentioned that you are referring to his LAST NAME, not the first. His Polish FIRST name is Marcin. To achieve a close pronuciation of his Polish original name would be to read this: [MART-sin] with an accent on the first syllable. Both words in Polish are < Marcin Patrzałek >. Best regards.
