Support NeoGAF

[Aiii]

I like to follow alot of talented (cover) artists on YouTube and there are alot of great ones. But there's only one that truely amazes me with every video he puts out. The way this guy plays and manages to adapt pretty much every genre to his accoustic guitar blows my mind.

I'm sure most know about Iggypres: https://www.youtube.com/user/Iggypres?feature=watch

But here's some examples:
Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence

Michael Jackson - Beat It

Metallica - Enter Sandman

Toto - Africa

Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

I could keep posting more and more, but you catch my drift. This guy should be world famous. GAF, do you agree?

Yeah he's great.

Get Lucky.

Andy McKee does a better cover of Africa.

Also to all Godspeed You! Black Emperor fans, you should listen to this mindblowing acoustic cover from Gihm:

Those are not bad at all, love the Godspeed cover.

Not if all he does is cover versions, I'd rather just listen to the originals. I don't care how technically proficient a guitarist is, if I don't like his songs.

All his covers are adapted, alot of them have added original parts.

Here's a playlist of his fully original songs:

He's not going to be world famous by playing acoustic instrumentals in a Mario-shirt. His stuff was actually good, but he needs to join up with a singer or a band

That Godspeed cover is perfection.

 

[Kid Ska]

My friend was actually just playing his videos the other day while we were sitting around. Very impressive stuff.

Posted this in the song rating thread already, but:

Stefano Barone - Batman/Alexander Supertramp
Stefano Barone - Minimalaction

That Godspeed cover is perfection.

He had a bunch of other interesting covers, but he took down his channel, the fucker.
You can find some reuploads though:

Gihm Covers - Green Grass Of Tunnel (Múm)
Gihm Covers - Girls (Takagi Masakatsu)
Gihm Covers - You hand in mine (Explosions in the sky)
