I'm a D'addario artist, simply because I LOVE and use their strings (they are the best IMO) check which ones I'm using here:

My guitar saw this and decided to sell me.

When something looks so effortless it’s a sign of a master doing the execution…
Great work sir.

[smolchungus]

This might be one of the most iconic and underappreciated pieces of music ever written

Also that brushing thing is so damn cool

[kodiakfamily]

Splendid!!!! That bass line was amazing.

[jables]

This is one of those tunes that surface level doesn't sound TOO difficult, but those walking basslines are so hard to pull off this cleanly. Supremely talented

[mr.mckinnon]

That could be the greatest song ever written. Not because it's so easy to play. Or so recognizable, to those who have ever heard it. But because, Henry Mancini actually recorded that song in every single style of music. Everything from swing, to big band, to bossa nova, and rock and roll. Truly, an extremely versatile piece of music.

The shaker sound you create in rhythm while still playing by rubbing the guitar man... i mean... this is just simply amazing. You are an incredible guitarist and i hope to one day have even an ounce of your talent. Keep rocking and doing your thing!

[tripletritone]

holy finger indepedence! How are you doing that!?!?! the "shaker" percussion, the harmonics, it's perfect! amazing stuff!

[immanuellasker]

0:37 The bass line that separates from the main line and goes its own way is insane.

[massimozanetti]

The Pink Panther is one of the clearer cases of astoningshly killer pocket supereffective chord-melody ever written, and your tribute to this piece of timeless precious art lies at the same altitude. So good.

[MickeyBradford]

Lucas Brar, you sounded like a complete band. Sir you killed it.

[johannphysio]

So many great things to say about this this but I’ll just say it was so cool how you managed to create the sound of a brush along a snare. Bravo! Thank you!

[fleetfeet]

What an absolute treasure of a video. The composition was subtly savage and was just the right levels of indulgence. On a personal note I'm really happy I now realised how you pull off that amazing soft-scrape sound with your palm along the guitar - it sounds so perfect and gives the impression of a double bass and jazz drums. Honestly this is peak YouTube, we're so blessed that someone who's passionate and studied so many techniques has composed them together in a real skillfull way and then performed it for us. It's like a TED talk of Jazz, summing up years of study in a quick digestible treat of a video. It's videos like this that spur incite and inspire others - I hope you feel the bredth of this achievement. Not a single wig either! ;'D

Wow! I’ve been playing guitar for almost 50 years and never considered playing this on guitar. It’s usually played by an orchestra. I’d forgotten about this great piece of music and associated it with the cartoon I remember from my youth. But now I’m reminded that our high-school band played it fairly well.
Nothing of this caliber though and trying this song solo, I’ve never heard before.
“Cool” is an understatement. The chords you used here and the jazzy strum was phenomenal!
Thank you for doing this!

[stevesmith]

I've played for 40 years, and my brain would ooozzz from eyes and ears if I tried to play this like you just did. Bravo maestro. Bravo!!!🎉🎉🎉

[keyboardtechhomeworkrecord]

What an incredible use of unusual techniques to provide the texture of the full ensemble performances on a single instrument.

[JackCaptainSparrow]

Lucas, I've been playing guitar over 50 years. When you get to that point, you hear someone play like this and you just know. You are a player.
... and a damn good one, sir!

[RickIfYoureNasty]

Dude. I was amazed most by the absolutely impeccable timing of the bassline along with the primary melody and chord blasts. Had I not known and just heard a recording I'd have been shocked to know this wasn't 2 people (guitar and upright bass) very smooth brotha, very smooth indeed.

[BaritoneUkeBeastLife]

I had to come back to this video and play it again. This performance and arrangement is by far my favorite version of this amazing classic song. I grew up with the original Pink Panther movies and cartoon show and as a kid this was one of my favorite theme songs. This solo guitar arrangement sounds like its accompanied by a full orchestra of instruments to me, I can't get over how skillful Lucas Brar is that all the melody, harmony and everything is all coming from his single acoustic guitar. Bravo!

[PeterKaitlyn]

That's been one of my favorite tunes for most of my life... to hear it done so well on an instrument it's wasn't designed for is amazing... thanks.
