This is my rendition of the famous Classical Gas by the fantastic guitarists Mason Williams and Tommy Emmanuel. It was an amazing experience to dive deep in the music of such genius guitarists. I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!

Pretty amazing how you can play with such fury and nuance at the same time. Every note perfectly hit. Mastery on a whole different level.

I remember hearing Tommy Emmanuel in a Sydney pub, play his reimagined version of Classical Gas almost 40 years ago now in the early 1980s. It was very inspiring to hear someone play a version that wasn't a carbon copy clone of the original.

I always wondered what it would sound like if someone played a reimagined rendition of Tommy's version. It's taken me 40 years since then to find out, but it was worth the wait.

This Youtube guitar archive of guitar pieces created by Lucas will live forever. In years to come Lucas will be acknowledged just like Tommy, as being one of the greatest, most technically proficient and creatively original fingerstyle guitarists that has ever lived.

I learned classical gas when I was around 18. I’m 69 now. It was insanely difficult to play to speed and with precision. It’s the finest guitar piece ever. And now it’s come to its pinnacle with Lucas. Bravo.

The Chuck Norris of the Guitar Players. You recahed the highest level possible, there is no more room for improvement.

First time I've seen a cover of this song that nails the energy and nuance of Tommy Emmanuel's cover. This is one of the single best performances I've ever seen.

Hands down the greatest guitarist ever, as he doesn't just play better than anyone I've ever seen and heard, but his creativity in making his personal arrangements isn't something that can be taught. Pure talent.

This is pure genius. He even looks like his music. Life welcomes him.

My Dad is a huge fan of Tommy's. I played your version for him and he was almost speechless throughout. His words " I can't believe it". Your ability, god given and self crafted, is incredible. Very well done.

Tommy: Classical gas is too easy. Let's jazz it up a little.
Lucas: Tommy's Classical Gas is too easy. Let's go a little wild.

My guitars looking at me across the room:
"Don't even think about it"

Amazing job Lucas!!

[cognoscenticycles]

That was just insane. I can hardly believe what I just saw. That was the most high octane acoustic guitar playing I have ever witnessed. Truly awesome on every possible level.

This is the most INSANE version of classical Gas I have ever seen.
Absolute Pro.

[optimistic]

Impressive to say the least. I always loved the original version played by Mason Williams but this guy took it to another level .

[woodstoney]

No frets were harmed during the fantastic and super-level playing of this song! Such a gifted man!!

[Makumazahn]

I’m speechless! Been playing 50 years and would not be worthy to tune this guys guitar! Simply beautiful to watch and appreciate!

Да что же ты, парень вытворяешь с нами ?! Ну в это же невозможно поверить !! Слушал и не верил своим ушам ! Фантастика . Грандиозно . Бесподобно !👏👏👏👏👏🌹❤️👏👏

[markrubin]

Did I really just hear and see what I heard and saw? Simply astounding.

[joshuacummins]

there is a nuance between accuracy and beauty, and this man has tapped into the raw beauty behind the music. it is one thing to play the notes, it is quite another to both know why the notes need to be played, but also put their very heart into yours. a true master...i tip my hat sir.

I sold my guitar right after watching this, took the first offer.
