Luca Stricagnoli has established himself as one of the most innovative and gifted guitar players working in America today. His cover songs have generated millions of YouTube views from around the world.
This time, he takes on one of the most popular songs to come around in the past 20 years, using his acoustic guitar to cover the Backstreet Boys smash hit, ‘Everybody.’
Of course, in the true Stricagnoli style, he does not simply play the harmony or a single part. No, he has to play every single part – on the same instrument. He achieves this using his fingerstyle technique.
The result is a stunning reproduction of the song. Stricagnoli is successful in capturing the energy and spirit of the original but transforming it into something entirely new, captivating, and beautiful.
That is the mark of a great cover. Stricagnoli is a true artist of this song. He wants to make something new, something that honors the Backstreet Boys but also does not remain stable or static.
He accomplishes this audacious goal with incredible results. Of all the artists who have covered the Backstreet Boys along the years, Stricagnoli has created perhaps the finest tribute.
Because of this, the song will appeal to fans of the iconic boy band as well as fans of musical artistry. There is no other way to describe Stricagnoli’s work. He is a true artist in every sense of the word.
