The pond’s water shimmers as Alexandr Misko stares at it, guitar held against his chest. He begins to play his instrumental cover of ‘Africa’ by Toto. Nature is his audience, tall trees, thick green grass, and a clear blue sky.
He treats his guitar as more than just a guitar. With only his hands he skillfully taps, slaps, strums, and plucks the instrument. The speed at which he does all this is unreal.
This isn’t his first cover, he is known for doing great instrumental versions of famous songs. But whether or not this is the first time you are watching him perform, you cannot deny his incredible talent.
Beside the pond, he walks with the sunlight hitting his face. Around him there are birds passing by, listening along to his beautiful rendition. The wind flows through his hair and guitar.
The world spins as he hits the world-famous chorus. Effortlessly his hands move across the guitar with precision and quickness. If you closed your eyes you would never think there was only one person playing.
Alexandr bangs his head in the air, his air flopping along to the sweet tune. There is nothing but him and the music in this moment.
He ends his performance sitting on the grassy floor, staring out into the lake. The guitar sits on his lap as he slowly plays the last soft notes of the wondrous song.
