Igor Presnyakov

Found it just now messing around with the Internet (who doesn't?), and urged myself to post it for all of you:


From his official website:

Born in Moscow, Russia, Igor Presnyakov studied classical music at a nearby academy and would eventually graduate as both a guitarist and a conductor for ensembles.
He relocated to the Netherlands to further his career, which has now spanned over 35 years.
His unique acoustic guitar-style is influenced by various musical genres from Reggae, Rock and Roll, R&B, Country-western, Jazz and even Heavy Metal.
His most noticeable attribute, is his creative style of “beating” the percussion of the song, onto the body of his acoustic guitar while playing.
This replicates the sound of multiple musicians, while only Igor is playing.
While he sometimes sings on many of his original and cover-songs, Igor is more famous for mimicking the vocal parts of a song, into guitar-solos, while often adding a softer, jazzier sound.
Igor’s popularity has risen since he first debuted on Youtube in 2007. He currently has over 89 million views, in addition to his subscribers, which is over 181,000.
Igor is also now officially endorsed by both Takamine guitars and Fender Amplification.


Check out his YouTube Channel!!

Enjoy this new discovery!! Wicked!!

Gasp! Incredible! How can you do that with only ten fingers? Chords + notes, like two instruments, and the banging gives his another one more. And it's an acoustic guitar, with steel strings.. he must have claws instead of fingertips!
