DESCRIPTION
This is my fingerstyle guitar cover arrangement of "Gangsta’s Paradise" by Coolio, based on the song “Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder. The reason why I name this Gangsta’s Paradise is because I am covering elements contained in Coolio’s version but not in the original. I hope you enjoy my arrangement!

Interesting Fact: For each time Luca adds a musical layer, we have put a new line on the right side of the screen. In total, he is playing 5 layers simultaneously.
Man, he is playing 5 guitars at a time. Technically
molto bene
FUCKING AWESOME
HOLY SHIT!
Thank you for putting up with all his practice!!!!
Before I watched this video, I was like “oh an old school rap piece played on guitar, nice”. I have watched it 37 times and I bought a guitar yesterday. Luca you are a god. I wish the best for you.
I wish you well with your new guitar, keep at it.
So how is it going with your guitar? I wont sleep today if you dont tell me
Yeah we need to know!
TELL US
How's practice going, are you getting good
I heard Coolio made a rap version of this.
Leonidas Escanor Weird Al hired Luca to write the music coolio stoke the idea.
The song is actually a Stevie Wonder tune. Pastime Paradise
😂😂
I listen to this as i walk through the valley where i harvest my grain.
This comment is killing me
This is the best version of Weird Al’s ‘Amish Paradise’ I’ve ever heard
I mean... I've churned butter once or twice
Yeah, but why did he put cover singers' names on title?
I was going to post the same thing
@@earthboundmother205 well I know I'm a million times more humble than thou art
@@earthboundmother205 Me and the boys are gonna go move a barn later, wanna give us a hand, or two?
Great tribute to a master, RIP Coolio
Shocking isn't it?
He was with us all our childhood and youth. We didn't want to think about it, but it should have happened anyway. RIP Coolio.
Rip takeoff
When did he die? 💔🤧 r.i.p legend
@@bunnyraj2171 he made it pass 24, that is a good sign
"I'm 23 but will I live to see 24"
Everybody gangsta until this guy starts playing gansta's paradise.
H
HAHAHA TRUE.
Amish...
I'd pay to see u do it better n if u can pull sometin' like this out while sittin' round the camp fire mate u'd get all the girls attention, there is a difference between bein' a thug and bein' a gangsta, get to know it u lil twerp have a nice day.
@@tonyrodgers5828 bro I wasn't criticizing him, I was complementing him. Are you high... twerp?
RIP Coolio! Another lyrical legend taken away, but man what a legacy! Gangster's Paradise done fingerstyle is absolutely on point and a great cover method!
это просто !!! да просто нет слов !! он поет гитарой . я прослушал раз двести может больше . талант вне уровня
!!
Very true👍
согласен 100%
Согл еще послущай на фортепиано
@@user-dt2er3zp2p ссылку моно?
Он поёт душой, и воспроизводит это гитарой, так не каждый может
Man this guy needs to be more famous xD
Indeed
most of the really talented don't play the youtube game as much as they should
I agree but in today’s UA-cam he needs to upload more frequently/often not 7 or so vids over 5 yearsand
well - one year, 15 videos - 1/4 Million Subscribers...
i call that success
@@jin8684 UA-cam is a joke it's good he's posting but he just needs to continue with the way he's going about shit and not put all his eggs in one broken ass platform.
I think Luca lost his loop pedal a long time ago and just decided to roll with it
LOL, reminds me of the inconvenience people would rather go through when they dropped an item on the floor. Instead of coming off the couch, body contortion it is.
I mean to be fair that means he can do this whenever wherever as long as he has a guitar.
Like people at Walmart when they throw things down instead of putting them right back in front of them...
@@Shumoku438 For a second I thoought you were talking about Shakira's song.
It would be nice to hear him playing that!
😅😍
He has two hands, and one guitar.. but it sounds like 4 different people and 4 different instruments. So rad!
5*
thats cause he layers his music 🤦🤦
*I've watched hundreds of them on UA-cam, but I haven't seen anyone like him. I think he is the most talented finger style guitarist in the world. He is one of the guys who made the guitar speak with his own interpretations. He can easily add other instruments to the guitar. If this man's brain was examined, neuropsychology would be rewritten :)*
Agreed sunny,
The next one being The Alexandr The Misko.
@@prabhatkiranchaulagain1095 check out Marcin too

Hitchin' up the buggy, churning lots of butter Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
there's no phone, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury
I'm the pious guy the little ahm-letts wanna be like in my knees day and night scoring points for the after life
😆 al's stuck in my head now
@@AhDollar like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be!
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone!
Lyrics
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talkin', and where you're walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away
I'm livin' life, do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
The way things is going, I don't know
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

*As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning, I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine
Then tonight, we're gonna party like it's 1699
We been spending most our lives
Livin' in an Amish paradise
I churned butter once or twice
Livin' in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Livin' in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Livin' in an Amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in Hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude?
You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree I really look good in black, fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired
There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives
Livin' in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Livin' in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Livin' in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Livin' in an Amish paradise
Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really righteous?
Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night, scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives
Livin' in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Livin' in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Livin' in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Livin' in an Amish paradise
I've listened to a lot of covers of this tune and more. But this cover... I always come back here when I'm sad. Thank you Luka for this wonderful music!
He doesn't play guitar, he speaks it. And It's probably his native language.
Ahmet Uran Lol. Is this supposed to be lyrics for chorus? If so it is amazing. 😂😂😁🤘🏽👍🏽
Legend says he put his vocal chords into his guitar
So if he played a 12 string he'd be bilingual
That guitar is playing him
@@edwardtupper6374 no hes played 16 strings. just watch his feel good inc video.
So finally Luca compressed his multiple guitars into one since the last few videos!!!
Rest in Peace to te man that made one of the best songs of our time
Слушал по несколько раз! Вертуозно манипулирует пальцами рук, причем и сразу ,и поочередно, Звук гитары идеально превосходный , шикарный, просто улёт на все сто. Сама муз. композиция ,супер трек ,❤ парнишка просто красавчик .!!!!!!!! Уважение и почет ! Самому тоже есть куда стремиться, тоже играть ,подымать статус свой .Ещё больше люблю гитару после таких гениальных, шедевральных выступлений!!!
I never seen someone play as clean as this guy does.
Try Ken Nishimura
Try Marcin, hope they do a song together 😊
It’s not a live performance....
@@MKFingerstyleAcademy he plays this on live and this is not fake
@@volund6280 look at the video closely, it is 100% lip synced. that said, I love the guy, love the arrangement, and love this video. There is nothing wrong with enjoying it while calling it for what it is, a beautiful dramatic video lip synced to a studio recording. If you disagree, that's fine. Lucas lives across the ocean, and I don't really care, and I don't think he cares. Best

далюка молодец
The scenery in each of he's videos are just insane
Them: "You cant play rap music without a heavy bass line!"
Luca: "Hold my glass of wine."
There's still a heavy bass line tho. Just an octave higher.
@@ruebene2223
It's not a bass line at that point
@@derpysnakemusic3676 actually the top 8 notes are in the bass clef. E2-B3 are in the bass clef.
@@Grumplefut
So it was originally an octave lower, making the 8 highest notes E1-B2?
nice rhyme

mind blown. every time. every. single. time.
Such a great idea of playing this legendary song and your rendition is absolutely phenomenal! Keep up the inspiring work!
Woah, I saw your Feel Good Inc. video a few weeks ago. It's cool seeing artists comment on other artists' songs.
Tommy!!! Love to see ya
Awesome to see great musicians supporting great musicians
Вообще не понимаю, за что дизлайки?
Это БОЖЕСТВЕННО!!!
Он не человек, биоробот какой-то
Ну типа музыка наложена, не живой звук
@@NexBot. Ты дурак? В каком месте она наложена?
@@panalisike5158 ну потому что это не чистый звук, там нет усилителя, это обычная акустика, а звук студийный
@@NexBot. Он мог подключить звукосниматель к камере, хотя проводов не видно, так что возможно ты и прав
Ещё раз послушал - это просто нереально! И это пример как нужно быть на своём месте! Профессионалом!
Cuántos instrumentos esta tocando ???, 1...2...3... y más ¡¡¡ wow !!!
Impresionante !!! Muy buen guitarrista !!! Excelente !!!
Toda obra que ejecuta lo hace transformando la guitarra en una orquesta.
Estudié en un Conservatorio desde los 6 años hasta los 12 años y he visto muy buenos guitarristas, en todos mis años de vida (hoy tengo 70 años) pero con Luca hay que sacarse el sombrero, es "la excelencia".
Sólo hay que mirar la posición de las manos y dedos para darte cuenta que es un virtuoso de la guitarra.
Damn no nut november really is hard
Before this video: I'm not gonna fail No Nut November this year!
After: I'm not gonna fail No Nut November next year!
Something else is though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Tell me about it, The internet has become a porn show. fuck sake.
I m still on ma way
Made my day😂
Masterpiece, the only one. Nobody like you my friend. We have to invent new words everytime you upload a new vid. AMAZILLIANT
GODZILLIANT
Luca please do not stop making music you make me appreciate how amazing humans can be
Низкий поклон МАСТЕРУ!!!!
You inspired me to try harder at guitar and I'm thankful for you and your insane talent
Lotta people might not get that he's seriously multi-tasking on that guitar. Playing multiple parts at the same time.
I had 4-5 years of lessons on classical guitar but I'm looking at him playing and my brain is having trouble understanding where all the sounds are coming from. Never seen that attachment he's using either. Definitely not a standard capo thingy for sure.
Very cool performance
@@DreamSmuggler I'm not quite sure, but I think it's a device that hits harmonics for him
it's a spider capo bro x.x
@@DreamSmuggler pretty sure it means he can specify which strings are effected by the capo and which ones r still on the standard guitar tuning
Hes playing 5 layers.
Это искусство!
Совершенство звука!
Превосходно!
Восторг!
Экстаз!
I love when people come on these videos like “OMG that’s impossible!” Clearly it’s not because Luca’s doing it! Every prodigy starts with a dream and determination; how far one reaches on the first rests on how much of the latter is applied. Just remember that the dream doesn’t have to be specific; what is meant for one isn’t always the forte of another, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have something they can pursue with equal fervor and skill.
the song says "Gangsta's paradise" but the place says "This is America"

You got several lyrics wrong. "I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left," "As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool," "Look at the situation they got me facin'," and "I can't live a normal life. I was raised by the street."
going to be honest... this melody in acoustic form. is one of the most BEAUTIFUL melodies I've EVER heard. RIP coolio
This is amazing! To see and hear it is everything! Sweetness to the soul.
This has got to be the best cover I've ever heard of this song.
I've never searched for headphones so quickly 😂
watch the cover of mb14 its sick too
Es gracioso porque el tema original se llama pastime paradise, de Stevie Wonder. Asi que sería el mejor cover de un cover. Saludos!!!

This is nothing to do with practice it is a talent no one can teach you how to play 5 layers of music at the same time incredible.
@@terryjones1103 do you even play guitar?that is extremely hard even if you play guitar for years
You saying that makes me think you didn't even touch a guitar in your life...

Completely astonishing. You're just incredible and you've a real talent dear man. Lovely.
Everybody Gangsta till Luca Stricagnoli pulls out his Guitar.
Please do NOT listen to this without headphones or at least earphones. The difference is unreal and the appreciation becomes idolatry
I have a feeling my 5.1 surround disagrees with you
@@alefaen Yes! Possible! Are you in idolatry too with 5.1 surround? 😁🎸🎻
7.1 surround sound here, i can feel the guitar ring tapping on my balls.
thanks for letting me watch this twice and be equally impressed both times. and even more so after i put on the headphones
Thanks for that.
Luca Stricagnoli. СПАСИБО !
Your music is so beautiful. You’re an inspiration. I wish I could take a look inside your mind. Your covers literally make me smile with tears and chill bumps. That’s how you know it’s good. Thanks man.💯💯💯❤️
I love how he just casually puts a link to learn this in the description like "Hey! wanna learn a piece your never gonna be able to play?(if you do learn it congrats i take my hat off to you sir)"
It's kind of hard but not *that* hard
I need a Coolio reaction to this immediately!!!!!!!!
American Brandon You mean Stevie Wonder. Coolio did nothing interesting to the song. It’s 99% Stevie Wonder. Gee
Just awesome

Thank you for Crediting Stevie Wonder. A lot of kids don't actually know where Coolio got that ENTIRE SONG from lol
Разбираю композицию месяц,автор - не человек!Так круто сыграть просто нереально,выучил,похоже но не настолько идеально как у Луки
На самом деле технически это несложно, заслуга Луки в создании аранжировки, позволяющей сочетать 5 партий на соло гитаре. Вот чему действительно стоит восхищаться. Технически же так может играть любой средний фингерстайл-гитарист.
The skill involved here, let alone the natural talent. Amazing.
Here is the song's lyric if someone want to sing just like me:
Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Coolio]
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
‘Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

Been spending most their lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[Verse 2: Coolio]
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
And my homies are down, so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
I'm 23 now, will I live to see 24?
The way things is going I don't know
[Hook 2: LV]
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin'
It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'

And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradiseA local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies all I agree I really look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impairedThere's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's as primitive as can beWe been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradiseHitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise anudder
Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might just have to get medieval on your heinieWe been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradiseYech
here's the original lyrics
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race Relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation... to the evils of the world
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrows gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the Savior of love will come to stay
Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation
of Race Relations
Consolation
Integretion
Verification
of Revelations
Acclamation
World Salvation
Vibrations
Stimulation
Confirmation... to the peace of the world
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise
Let's start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyones lives
Living in the pastime paradise

Настоящая крутость - то что не купишь за деньги.
Робот.
Это просто не с чем сравнить)))
Не похоже на оригинал
@@Alevernis А ты не похож на не завистлика.
I'm a computer scientist and I heard researchers are making a new multi-tasking processor after taking inspiration from this man
Wow! I've run out of words to describe this sheer genius
Thank you. The way you play always lifts my spirits. Hats off to you for your skill.
The fact that this was released on the exact date the Sonic movie was supposed to come out adds a layer of humor that I really appreciate.
It's incredible the amount of layers that is being focused on and he's up there making it look easy! This is a true talent and artist at best! Great guitar work my man!
wow this sounds amazing. makes me want to start learning to play
Yeah man same
Нет слов. Прекрасно!!!
DUDE, THIS GUY IS A BEAST!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

just out of the view is a guy holding Luca;s beer.
*His glass of wine, as someone else noted.
One of the most amazing artists I've ever heard.
Every moment, every second, every little sound and tad bit of force I could feel the energy and I felt the emotion shit is so powerful when you use music because it grabs people’s attention
I have no idea how 840 people disliked this. Man this guy is AMAZING! Great job!
they are jealous
Cause they are idiots
Now 1600 dislikes...
That's because they thought they could play guitar.
Well, 840 people play cooler probably. But it is not exactly)
Не описать словами, ничего более крутого не видела! Браво!!!
Очень круто, спасибо, уши радуются и настроение поднялось) Мне до вас ещё далеко, удачи вам!
Жаль здесь (в комментариях) мало русскоговорящих (
This is blowing my mind that He is playing so many layers and maintaining the beat and lyric sounds at the same time!
Кто сюда после Стэна?)
хех)
Не я.
@@user-el3nn4ve4k а кто
Я Стэна только что послушал, а про этого знал)
Да
so l've made this my ringtone.
So you stopped answering the phone?
Beautiful! Well done!
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
This is phenomenal. I have watched this video a thousand times
I, Luca Stricagnoli, have a dream!
I am speechless of this guys talent so how about a standing ovation in front of my computer
Goosebumps throughout
Love Love this🙋🏽♀️👍🏽😎🎸🤗
You are an extraordinary guitarist...never seen or heard anything like this
Really hurts me to see dislikes on this, there really is a hater for everything huh :/
Yup. Just trolls out there
Anyone that dislikes this is a no talent piece of trash.
the dislikes are the people who think they're talented on guitar, perhaps even consider themselves professional, and realize they don't even deserve the title of amateur in comparison.
@@kipblass2131 >> Or: Music snobs: "He's good, but it's not Mozart". Music philistines: Only listen to Christian Rap. Music idjits: "A guitar is not enough! / it's just a guitar".
@@graxmccoar8678 You gave me an idea. Gonna make a new comment...
I could cry this is a great version of one of my fav songs
Absolutely loving this one. ❤
