Luca Stricagnoli

Ever head of Luca Stricagnoli? Don't feel bad if you haven't, as he's still fairly new to the scene. But you should know who he is, because he's one of the most talented guitarists on the planet.

Hailing from Italy, Luca began studying classical guitar at the age of ten, but had quit for a long time before returning and teaching himself new techniques, perfecting them, then making his own, unconventional style. 

Sweet Child O Mine

This is the one that really impressed me the most. Luca makes use of two guitars, the one on the table in front of him heavily modified. He frets the notes, plays extra sets of strings and other additions to the modified guitar, makes use of multiple capos, and taps out some percussion.

Last of the Mohicans

Some more note fretting and percussive guitar. He also uses a a violin bow. And there's three guitars.

Braveheart

In addition to the usual, now he's using a recorder and some harmonicas.

Impressed yet?

Luca's signed to Candyrat Records. His self-titled debut came out earlier this year, with 8 arrangements and 2 originals, with Sweet Child O Mine as a bonus track. Why not check it out?
