Marcin Patrzalek – a Polish acoustic guitar virtuoso who made the semi-finals of America's Got Talent in 2019 – has long wowed with his amazingly innovative acoustic guitar covers, often shared on his Instagram page.
His latest cover though, a positively jaw-dropping take on Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," might be his best to date.
Ibanez AE900-NT in hand, Patrzalek, who simply goes by Marcin onstage, lights up the classic rock staple with taps, slaps, strums, and huge percussive lines – and he does it in a parking garage to boot.
It's impressive stuff, to say the least, and not just to us at GP.
Kiss's Paul Stanley, Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitar-slinger Tom Morello, and Living Colour's Vernon Reid all tweeted their own praise of the video, with Reid saying "Jimmy Page ain't seen THAT coming! Got DAYUM."

"I said, ‘It’s just a guitar riff.’ He goes, ‘You should write a song with that. It’s catchy.’” Tossed off as a B-side, this 1974 classic-rock gem became a number-one hit
