[@stoneydement9242]

I have been turned on to Luca for four years now,I found him when i was following the Cello brothers,he has the talent of three guitarist at once,plus he does great covers for all the great rock songs and makes them into artistic pieces of music,he has some friends and family that play his style,they are good also.Thank you Luca for sharing your Rare gift and style of music with us,its a special blend of talent and raises the bar when it comes to playing three different sheets of music on one guitar,a fan for life,Stoney from Guam

[@Ladybug-uf7uh]

I am in awe! I've never, ever heard or seen anything like this man. I'm elderly (7th decade) and not much surprises me, but this does. Thank You, Mr. Stricagnoli for sharing your gift with us!

[@GaiaOne]

Hey Ladybug, if you like masterful, good music, have you heard of Home Free? They're an a capella group. You should check them out. I'm another old lady (just a couple years shy of my 7th decade) but damn, they're good. First time in my life I've ever been a fan girl. (Not even when the Beatles came over.) They sing everything. They're as good without instruments as Luca is with his guitar. God bless.

[@JK-io4xu]

I was wondering myself why I haven't seen any cover of this song by any exceptionel guitarist yet - but finally one decided to do so. And it is just great. Not about a doodeling solo but the beat, the rhythm. Perfect!

[@punishr36]

For sure. If you like that stuff check out Tommy who plays beats on the guitar too.

[@alexeymoiseevskiy2619]

​@@punishr36 Tommy Emmanuel you mean? Yes, I know he is also a brilliant guitar player, and I really like his arrangements too. Classical Gas in his arrangement is totally mind blowing. But I find his style to be a bit more conservative than Luca's.

[@punishr36]

@@alexeymoiseevskiy2619 Agreed as this style of Lucas in my opinion all started from Michael Hedges and has morphed into this incredible style. Tommy's finger picking is second to none along with his massive repertoire but these newer guys are in a league of their own. Cheers.

[@musicalemily5464]

It is extraordinary the sounds that come out of this. It is described, about Tommy Emmanuel, that he is a one man band, but, I think maybe, we have another person who creates an entire band with one instrument. Captivating.

You think ? Maybe? Are you kidding? We are able to enjoy Luca the GOAT for few years already.

[@musicalemily5464]

@@nose16 Yes! I am subscribed to everyone but Misco. I will look him up. Marcin is a prodigy, but, I did not want to be discourteous to Luca by speaking of him. I used Tommy Emmanuel, as, he is a legend, and I thought it was appropriate for my description, but, otherwise, I wanted to just focus on Luca’s music. Thank you for the other names, though.
