Music Sample of the Week




So I am going to start posting videos of music that I really enjoy.  It's good music and everyone should hear it.  I wanted to post this video first because I just heard it for the first time the other day.  This guy Igor Presnyakov is absolutely dirty at playing the guitar, one of the best I have seen.  He reminds me of another group I started following in high school, Rodrigo y Gabriella, because they would strum their guitars and drum on them at the same time.  They were able to make it sound like there were four people in the band, when I listen to Igor I think it’s a guy with seven arms he is so good.  My roommate commented that the only thing he did not like was his voice, which I found interesting.  I feel like his voice really completes him as an artist; he looks like this beat up old man who can kick the crap out of any song on guitar so why shouldn’t he sound that way too.  I have added his channel on Youtube to the links section check out some of his other covers, which include: Sweet Home Alabama, Use Somebody, Love the Way You Lie, No Woman No Cry, and many more with some of his own songs in there.

  2. He's pretty crazy at guitar. I like anybody who thinks outside the box like that, drumming on his guitar. This was good even tho it's Lady Gaga, I'll have to check out his "No Woman No Cry" cover.
