The GROOVIEST song ever? PLASTIC LOVE (Classical Guitar Cover)

Mariya Takeuchi created such a turbo bop ...



If you want more video game covers and original compositions on the classical guitar like this one, TABS, and general acoustic remix shredding, this is the place spot for all your video game guitar covers needs. Smack a sub. Smack a bell. Smack yourself. "

C'mon, you can't just grab a wrinkled shirt off the ground and expect us to be impressed with your perfect guitar skills.

Just wanted to let you know that your music is about 90% of my 2 year old's sleep/car ride/ play time playlist. He's been jamming your tunes for literally his whole life and I think it has something to do with his overall happy demeanor and intelligence.

Thanks for giving my son an early love of music.

This not only rocks my socks off, but it kindly puts them back on.

[TheBadBuffalo]

The way he plays the bass part and melody at the same time is absolutely inspiring

OMG, Sam Griffin and City Pop, that's the best. Really love Maryia Takeuchi. Please consider an arrangement of any Tatsuro Yamashita's song. :D

this is undoubtedly the best guitar cover of plastic love on youtube. it's not stale, has so much GROOVE, true to the song with added flair and style, and also, by the way his hand stretches in some parts it's definitely unique to him lol. god DAMN that T-A-S-T-Y bass lick at 1:57-1:58 😫👌🏼💦 i only wish sam finished the song and did the ending riff that would've made this perfect. still perfect though great work!

I love this song. I remember it popping up on vaporwave playlists all the time for some reason.

Aaarrgghh BEST COVER I cant believe you nailed so many of the chord voicings sooo good right in the feels!!! Is that drop D tuning going on to nail some of those chord progressions.. can't believe you caught and built in so many of the little nuanced phrases that make this song so utterly groovy. Man like Sam got more grooves than a hundred records. Been listening to this song as a little kid in the 80s when Hong Kong popstar Anita Mui covered it. I only discovered decades later as an adult the Japanese original by Mariya. You Sir have CRUSHED 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[Aresftfun]

this shit's always amazing to me. playing "rhythm" and vocals like wtf. goals

[LuisGTorres]

this arrangement is incredible. I've been trying to arrange it for piano and I feel like I didn't have enough fingers, but you fit the entire song into just 6 strings

[InstrumentManiac]

You adapted this so well for guitar. It kept that same groovy feel 👏 Great work!

[HarrisonTheGrey]

One of my favorite jams by one of my favorite guitarists. SO GOOD.

[yogxoth]

Your arrangements are always so good, Sam. Nice one!

[gilagal]

Oh my God yes, I love this song, this is such a beautiful cover!

[nocturnalforsaken]

wow the accoustic so great. thanks for the video

[ofon]

Coulda sworn I commented on here...apparently not...excellent cover! Was especially obsessed with this 2 years ago or so and now one of my fav guitar youtubers covered it

[Nananea]

Ugh you have to stop these videos. I can't keep falling in love at this frequency.

[JC]

Really awesome to see a cover of this, Plastic Love (especially Friday Night Plans' cover) is one of my favourite songs.

[jonathanfenocchi]

1. Like before watching
2. Chills up my spine
3. As a guitar player hobbyist, feeling ill never come close to this good but also feeling so inspired to play more.

Thanks for putting these videos up. I still can't get over how it always sounds like TWO guitars.

[leetmeatz]

Damn that looks rough on the left hand! Nice playing! I like how you fit in some of those little callback melodies and bass lines in there too
