We shot this video two years ago in the beautiful "Teatro Sociale" in Mantova (Italy) and for some reason I just couldn´t bring myself to release this clip. Until now! The thought behind this composition is this: what does it take to be a great Showman? Sometimes touring around the world can be really tough and I find myself being jet-lagged, tired and full of negative emotions...minutes before jumping on stage! But you guys drive hours and hours to see me live! You deserve 100% of what I can offer and that´s what I want to give you at every single concert. To achieve this in difficult moments, it´s necessary to take all the stress, nervousness and sadness and turn them into a powerful and contagious positive energy. The ability to put your personal problems aside and awake the very best of you for the people around: this, to me, is what it takes to be a Showman. Whatever your job is, if you try to do this everyday when you go to work...you are an inspiration to me!
You are a great showman! You always have beautiful locations for your videos and your skill is unmatched! You are an inspiration to musicians around the world!
The other guitarist are sitting in the chairs of auditorium and wander how he can get play guitar like this. I am not disrespectful to any other Guitarist but Luca Stricagnoli is GOAT . I mean God
I've never seen somebody with such capacity to simultaneously inspire everyone to pick up a guitar yet equally cause as many to throw it away in despair.
uum6 this is the challenge of musicians. So many pursue being The Best. And I think that’s a fickle goal. Some people see this, and find despair. “How can I ever beat that?” Others see it and find inspiration. “One day, I’ll be like that.” And even if they don’t ever achieve that goal, they’re better off for rising to the challenge. Someone told me “if you’re the best in the room, you’re in the wrong room.” Have hope. Pursue excellence. Perform all you do to the best of your abilities.
Your comment got lost in others comments but you the person who influence most of the time to Luca. You are a talented musician too. Be happy and we want both of you to become a good fortune to music world
This is one of the greatest original guitar pieces I've ever heard. I didn't read the description until after watching, but felt the emotion. A true showman does exactly what you said, Luca. And a true composer can put it into music. Truly inspiring! Hope to see you play live again one day!!
Luca i just want to say thank for this amazing song and all the other song's you do its my son's favorite song and me well all you're song's are just amazing thank you thank you thank you much love from Montréal ✌
Hurray! I managed to play the first note, then I got lost .... Luca, you are the Michelangelo, the Caravaggio, the Leonardo Da Vinci and the Verdi of guitar. This is the right view about Italy... Paolo
Che dire di questa eccellenza italiana, come al solito osannata da tutti all'estero, e poco conosciuta in patria. Qualche ospitata in tv in programmi importanti potrebbero pure fargliela fare! Grande Luca!!!
It was the first time I heard that song at a concert. I touched it to the core. I heard so much in it back then, and I hear it now. Thank you, Luca! You're a genius!
Pure talent like yours deserves to be showcased and I believe this is the only video ever where you will be playing to an empty theatre. Absolutely genius!
Duuuuuuuude! Gorgeous! Love it. Great sound, beautifully done. Always cool that underneath that sweet mellow tune you could almost explode into a heavy metal riff. Thanks for the great music! Yes, I know I'm 2 years late on this.
Hi Luca I discovered you about a year ago on one of Music accounts on Facebook and I fell in love with how you can hear every aspect of a song and then recreate it on a single acoustic guitar. I am inspired by your comment above about how you can use your negative feelings and channel it into your best work. This is something I have always struggled with through my life and now I know there's hope for me. I am strong ...I can do that ...thank you for your words of inspiration. I hope one day I can look back at my failures and say to myself "You got this" always a pleasure to hear you tell a story on those strings. thanks
This is maybe my favorite composition of yours, Luca. It runs the gauntlet of emotions and feels like the travelling song that I think you want it to be. Well done, sir!
Woow✨one of my favourite pieces from you, I'm sooo happy that I've finally got a vid of that! Fantastic as always! I'm going to buy a tab and start learning this piece
Would love to see more bud. As much as you can throw at us. I use to play in high school and was very, very good. Nice to watch someone enjoy a true passion.
Звучит интересно! Начало напомнило мне одну из мелодий system of a down, вроде бы hypnotic, или что-то такое, интересно, но слушать устаешь. То, что удалось сыграть мелодию по-разному, да так, чтобы в итоге получилось красиво, и впечатляет, может быть даже больше, чем чистота исполнения.
I just want to say thank you for sharing your amazing talent! I have enjoyed every one of your videos, the creativity of the presentation as well as the joy that your playing gives me you always leave me smiling. Bravo!

Great work
Well said. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift (and no doubt hard work). Much enjoyed and God Bless You.
Oh wow...
You are a great showman! You always have beautiful locations for your videos and your skill is unmatched! You are an inspiration to musicians around the world!
I mean this with 100% sincerity, I think you're the most underrated musical genius that has ever lived.
This man gives concerts all over the world.
Really? Most of his videos are gimmicky cover versions. There are more interesting and talented players out there.
How does this video only have 7k likes?? This is criminally underrated.
I saw him last night for the first time and was absolutely blown away!
@@chrisrow9609 I got to see him back in January and even got to talk for a bit, it was great!
More originals please! Sounds fabulous!

I think everyone can agree with this comment!

That was my thought too, pretty much. Non guitar players are like "I want to do that!", and guitar players are like "F this, I quit".
He is a very talented and skilled composer and his own pieces are extremely beautiful. I love every single own composition of Luca Stricagnoli.
Your comment got lost in others comments but you the person who influence most of the time to Luca. You are a talented musician too. Be happy and we want both of you to become a good fortune to music world

Meg Pfeiffer commenting her fiancé's (now husband) epic performance! What a couple!!!???
Man, this song is absolutely stunning!
Потрясающе !!!
Each finger have different brains
Stricagnoli is octopus confirmed
Sir, I prayed for you ...your future will be very bright ...love you 💓

Congratulations friend, we Brazilians admire your work, you make a difference friend. hug
Как всегда на высоте.в таком качестве исполнения готова слушать что угодно от вас.
в апреле у него тур по России.
I’ve been playing guitar for about 13 years. I’ve seen and heard some of the worlds best guitar players, and I can honestly say you’re at the top.
You have commented already what I wanted to comment!!!
Hurray! I managed to play the first note, then I got lost ....
Luca, you are the Michelangelo, the Caravaggio, the Leonardo Da Vinci and the Verdi of guitar.
This is the right view about Italy... Paolo
Che dire di questa eccellenza italiana, come al solito osannata da tutti all'estero, e poco conosciuta in patria. Qualche ospitata in tv in programmi importanti potrebbero pure fargliela fare! Grande Luca!!!
Un vero peccato infatti..
Круто!
just Amazing 🔥🔥
My favorite song!
Слов нет, одна музыка!!!)))
Such a beautiful song
Well said Luca... of all the perfomances I’ve seen on tube, you are the greatest of showmen in the league of your own... HUGE FAN!!!
Круто!!... Amazing!!!... now you made it on video...
Очень круто!
Very beautiful. Cheers!
this song seriously takes me to another place.
just love it!!!
Флажалеты божественны!)))
Wonderful !!!❤❤❤🍀🍀
Felt the melodic heavy metal in this beautiful classic finger-style romantic and inspiring melody
Always a fan- but wow. This song has so much emotion coming through. Beautiful piece and excellent performance.
I brividi...tecnica sopraffine unita ad una capacità melodica e ritmica sempre ai massimi livelli!
Absolutely!
Luca Stricagnoli should be a part of Master Class. He dominates in guitar playing.
It was the first time I heard that song at a concert. I touched it to the core. I heard so much in it back then, and I hear it now. Thank you, Luca! You're a genius!
it´s always a pleasure watching luca playing guitar.
Mais quel talent !
This has been one of my favourite tracks that you've recorded. I'm thrilled to finally see the video.
Luca, you are a genius. Really!
Pure talent like yours deserves to be showcased and I believe this is the only video ever where you will be playing to an empty theatre. Absolutely genius!
My favourite musician. And the showman
Duuuuuuuude! Gorgeous! Love it. Great sound, beautifully done. Always cool that underneath that sweet mellow tune you could almost explode into a heavy metal riff. Thanks for the great music! Yes, I know I'm 2 years late on this.
I saw him last night on the International Guitar Night tour and he and Marco Pereira did a medley of Iron Maiden songs!

this comment is the most one underrated here. cheers, Lucille! Indeed, Luca is truly inspiring person.
Omg I LOVE this 💜💙💚✨✨
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Wow.
Couldn't agree more
This is maybe my favorite composition of yours, Luca. It runs the gauntlet of emotions and feels like the travelling song that I think you want it to be.
Well done, sir!
Love this tune!
Это прекрасно!
Woow✨one of my favourite pieces from you, I'm sooo happy that I've finally got a vid of that! Fantastic as always! I'm going to buy a tab and start learning this piece
Luca ha sviluppato un'incredibile tecnica per dare continuità a melodia, ritmo e accompagnamento...credo sia, in questo, tra i 3 migliori al mondo.
Absolutely fantastic. In almost every one of your videos there is something that makes my jaw drop a little...this was no exception. 👍
One of my favorites, beautiful, xxx
Amazing composition!
This is just awesome. Please release more originals and please don't hesitate to post stuff that's just lying around.
Perfect arrangement and performans, great job!
душевненько)
в апреле будет в России выступать.
You are amazing. I am so glad TH-cam randomly suggested your music and performances to me.
Would love to see more bud. As much as you can throw at us. I use to play in high school and was very, very good. Nice to watch someone enjoy a true passion.
Великолепно!!!! Потрясающе!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😻😻😻😻🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼

Best fingerstyle guitarist if the World
i agree
как же круто он играет
Simply beautiful. Once again thank you for the beautiful music and the joy that it brings.
Профи.
Отлично делает!
Так держать!
Особенно последний "штрих")
Awesome. Thanks. Потрясающе. Спасибо.
Luca, your music is one of the things that makes life worth living. Impossible to overstate how amazing you are.
You really make that guitar sing and tell a story.
Человек, создающий музыку, которая не надоедает! просто сказка - кайфую

Esse cara é muito muito bom!!! 🎸🎶🔝
Beautiful dynamic control and change of musical character without losing the underlying pulse. Impressive!!
Fantastic. Looking foward to another of your original works.
Best mixture of tallent and hardwork!
E che Show!! 😄😃
Jaw drop. 😮❤ He adds a whole different light to that song. Very well done. The building he is playing in is also beautiful.
Awesome💯

Потом напоминает Энди Макки и местами Котаро Ошио)) В любом случае очень круто как всегда!
I discovered you today on Instagram, now listening to your songs, you are an amaizing musician! Lots of creativity!
Don't ever slap me in the face with that ending again! 😂
That was pure talent! 👏👏👏
Love from New Zealand
Great! Best acoustic guitar player 🤘
Excellent! Glad you're adding to your music.
Absolutely awesome! You are incredible!
Thanks Luca
Merry Christmas
to you n yours 🎄☮️
This song is such a unique one that expresses how you feel about yourself
Unbelievable 👏👏👏
Як завжди дуже круто 👍

Wow! I've listened to this piece so many times on the album, but watching the video really highlights the little nuances...
Дуже гарно🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
