This dude is the proof that even though you have hands of a bricklayer you can still get some tunes from a guitar. Well done!

[@aquadime3336]

Super impressive! Those chords in the verses are always weird but perfect together.

[@figarocalisthenics9516]

I hate you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was just too beautiful.... You played it with such ease that you did not take anything away from the song, it was just lovely. Now I have to learn it and realize I cannot do it as well as you and enter in a depression that will force me jump from a high building in Dubai but since I cannot afford it, I will have to suffer in silence. Thank you for that.

[@nickelvd9220]

This beautiful version is a celebration of how well this song was composed. Thank you!

[@ChuckDotson]

Holy cow, this arrangement is amazing. It deserves so many more views and likes.

@@GuidoMancino wow! That’s a crazy tuning. Awesome arrangement

[@Nich0tep]

guido!

[@guitbasscoversivanov3017]

cool )

[@benabbottguitar]

Is this in standard tuning

[@stevesilverman5296]

The 5th string is tuned to G and at 2:58 Guido plays an A on the 6th with his thumb on the 3rd fret. That's when I read your question so the 6th string must be tuned up to F# for that to be possible. Nice job indeed!

[@fabiocaetanofigueiredo1353]

WTF 👏

[@cyanginpedro]

🙌👌

[@paulfranco3239]

😍

[@radiozelaza]

I suspect this is similar to how Sting actually composed this song, fiddling with his guitar in the studio during the night.

[@SergeUnplugged]

My guitar doesn't play like that

[@lpjbird]

Yea, I to was wondering what guitar he’s using, mine doesn’t play like that either.

[@iseee3387]

.......💋💪

[@scolpitts]

Fuk-n-A!!!
