METALLICA ON GUITAR (Fade To Black) - Luca Stricagnoli - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

TOUR DATES

This is my fingerstyle guitar cover of “Fade To Black” by Metallica. This song is, in the opinion of many, a very significant song in the development of Metallica. Some identify it as their first slow song and it explores serious themes such as hopelessness and depression. I could have picked many other great songs by Metallica to arrange, but this one was my choice. I am using two guitars: a Standard 6 String and my 7 String Soprano Guitar, placed on the usual keyboard stand. Meg and I wanted to represent the darkness of “Fade To Black” in this video. To do so, not only did we shoot the clip in a black room but I also consumed two rolls of black tape to make my guitars extremely dark (haha). I believe the taping process took me about 4 hours!
As always, thank you so much for following my content!

Watching this is making my confidence in my own guitar skills fade to black.

Luca - Hi ! I'm nearly 70, and back in my day, I was pretty _decent_ (truthfully) .
I had NO IDEA that something like THIS even _existed_ .
At MY age I have discovered "something NEW" - THANK YOU for this priceless GIFT !
Seriously- an experience of this sort is THE _genuinely transcendent_ part of what makes the _undefinable something_ of ART SO MEANINGFUL .
Sincerely, again- THANK you for this experience,
and-
AL the VERY _BEST_ to YOU and _YOURS_ from TEXAS !
Chuck .

Brought tears to my eyes. Long story dealing with addiction. You are blessed my friend.

One of my closest friends Jake Creasy died in a freak accident 4 years ago today. We both used to play guitars in a band together and Fade to Black was our favorite song to cover. I dare say the two of us never played HALF as good as this artist can do by himself. I needed this today. Thank you YouTube algorithm. Bittersweet but my heart is full.

[Handinmapocket]

The timing in this simply amazing. Playing those 2 melodies that have a different tempo together was sick.

[chaptermasterpedrokantor]

You have great independence in both your hands. I can't help escape the idea that you are approaching the guitar like a piano, left hand for bass and rhythm, right hand for melody, and rhythm with your thumb. Fascinating to watch.

[unequivocalemu]

the effort this guy goes through is amazing.. he bloody when through the effort of putting tape around the guitars just for this video.
fair play 👏👏

[somebodythatiusedtoknoooooooow]

Nice camera angle on the pinch harmonics at 0:49 He has guitar skills as if he has been playing more than 300 years.Thank you Luca for being awesome and sharing it with us!

[orlandogonsalves]

I am speechless, amazing skill. I was watching Lucas imbariba play guitar thinking how on earth can anyone compare but I think this guy is definitely a contender. Next level alien skill level sh1t

[ejhay]

Legend says he's also controlling the camera rotations

[AmericanB]

As of now, the 3 dislikes are James, Lars and Kirk. They’re upset they didn’t get any royalties. Robert is just happy to be in the band.

[adamkloeppel]

This man is without a doubt my favorite musician to watch on youtube. There are so many talented people out there but the clarity and sophistication of his playing style is unmatched. Great job!

[shepherdchimbaranga]

I don't know what's wrong with someone who puts a thumbs down on such a perfect arrangement. Great job Luca.

[brandonfugate]

This has inspired to sell my guitars and pursue a career as a used car salesman.

[tayfurium]

You nailed it Luca.... Excellent work. You're officially my favourite guitar player of all time

[SergeUnplugged]

Блестящее исполнение, привет всем фанатам Луки!

[GummiSammi]

Luca: Makes Tabs.

Me: I appreciate your confidence in me that I may even attempt to learn this.

[humanfromconception]

Luca, words fail me. What you do is so moving.
May you and yours be greatly blessed.
Thank you.

[alaaobaid]

If I haven't seen the video I would've never believed it ... This guy is a genius beyond imagination, a normal person would need more than a lifetime of constant practice to reach this level, I am ashamed of calling myself a guitarist knowing this guy exists, huge respect Luca, huge respect.
