Thank you for having me over Rob! Sorry for the finger cramps man...
Super proud to share this style with everyone here. It was a blast - let's do it again some time!!!
Amazing work!
Idk if im inspired or should give up. Either way, insane guitar playing!
this is sick. great seeing you blow up man
nice !
crikey you're like the squarepusher of acoustic guitar
Marcin paid for the whole guitar.
He's gonna use the WHOLE GUITAR.
😂
😂
That was well put . Humorous , but so true!
this is so polish actually
👍🤣😂
This dude is Paganini of guitar. No one has ever played guitar with that skill level. Being that young, he influenced the whole generation.
Never seen anyone extract so much from a guitar.
Paganini was the Paganini of guitar
bro you forgot paganini played guitar lmao
The modern Paganini is Tim tho
Paco de Lucia is watching from the sky, certainly happy and applauding
GUYS, HE IS A GUITAR PRODIGY!! PERIOD.
I'm SUPER impressed on how clean he is live. Wasn't sure if his stuff was edited but I was proven wrong today. He is definitely a master at what he does.
Right. He can do anything and he proved it here. He is fast and accurate
I think his stuff is pre-recorded or at least mixed really well. It sounds kinda...off when listening and seeing the videos
@@rosestrohm7986 no ur right. But literally every music video pre recorded. Either way he has the skills to play live anyways.
@@Neko_Nugget this isnt a music video.
This is literally trying to teach people how to make their guitar sound ike that. But they are literally faking the results.
You have no idea lol!
@@jordanekl5383 no I meant your right as in his stuff is usually pre recorded. I know this is about him teaching how to play like that. I’m just saying he’s legit
Seeing how effortlessly he does it, whilst casually chatting, is the most impressive part of it all.
& in a foreign language
Not only is he an absolute virtuoso guitar player but the kid is cool as hell. Wicked funny and witty. His humility further adds to his stardom.
The fact that they were able to have a chat and laugh while performing craziest maneuvers on the guitar made me feel insignificant.
Relish this feeling, let it consume you
and English is not his native language. He's kinda smart
You know, it's stupid, but the quote "Practice make perfect" is really true. But as he say, practice with FOCUS. With goal in mind
Let then envy flow through you
-Paganitine
Marcin is already impressive, but watching him live like this is totally another level... Thanks Rob for having Marcin! RESPECT!! ❤️
tell you what, seeing Marcin play live - like really live in a concert hall, that's yet totally ANOTHER LEVEL! I mean watching Marcin in Rob's video is like sailing through the ocean but seeing him really live is like sailing through galaxies. I've been to Marcin's concert last year and I already can't wait to see him this year
@@ItsMeBarnaby how so
@@smugslider3690
And he was playing beautiful music while explaining how he achieved his effects that enriched the melody. But this man did not notice.
Maybe if you just want to listen to melody, you can listen to his version of Chopin, or also his own song "For The Sleep", for me the best for its composition and purpose, but not to sleep but to dream.
Best regards from Chile ☺️💖🇨🇱
Actually strumming it sounds way BETTER..the tone from just pressing it, is soooooo unfulfilling..those pieces of music just leave you feeling EMPTY
Jess ada dimana mana
I'm from Poland. About 7 years ago I worked as a sound engineer and it was Marcin's performance. I knew he was going to be famous because he was already damn good back then.

He belongs to a new generation of young guitar players like Nito, Henson, and Mancuso who are not only extraordinarily skilled, but who are inventing new ways of playing the instrument, expanding its tonal and rhythmic possibilities, and blending different genres of classical-academic and popular music, acoustic, electronic and digital, together seamlessly.
But they can't write. Less is more. This aint' no: "Know me broken by my master".
@@AW33COM Care to share some of your compositions?
He’s so fast, with his entire arms, he looks like he’s in x3 speed istg. Absolutely incredible guitarist
My god, the only video of Rob I’ve seen that makes HIM look like the amateur. Marcin is insane. Big ups to Rob too, both amazing guitarists in their own right
To be fair to Rob, he's trying to pick up a technique that Marcin has already mastered. True there are similarities with things he's already done but that actually might get in the way. The fact he picks it up as fast as he does mind-boggling.
Not only is Marcin a fantastic player, but he has the great teacher mentality. Whatever he explains feels easy to understand and he goes into details of how and why you do something. I bet if someone had one month of lessons with Marcin, their skills would jump tenfold.
He teaches his techniques and breaks down his arrangements and compositions on his Patreon. He’s an incredible teacher.

I would love to be taught by marcin!
@@MasterCrander hypersonic lion tamer?
He has to be genius-teacher, because he teaches itself.
I noticed the nails right off and thought, “oh, wow, he not only has 5 guitar picks now but has extended his reach and they have their own percussive sound!” This young man IS the music, he feels it throughout and expresses it in so many ways. I hope he is appreciated for his focus and musicality for his whole life.
this kid is the next generation of guitar maestro
That's right, he's already etched in history.
I wasn't convinced Marcin's video's audio was recorded live until I watched this interview. Mad talent, and I was proven wrong. Sheesh.
They aren't recorded live but idc because the studio recorded versions are better for views
@@Vameq When did the comment above yours talk about TikTok ? You're saying his studio sound better, but then you say that his mic is better for insta/tiktok ?
Your comment is all over the place
Yeah they’re all dubbed over, but it’s cool to see he can do the real thing!
@@jaakkoikkela-koski3218 By live I mean a single performance all in one take in a studio. I can tell the social media posts are recorded separately, but I didn't think he could play like the recordings sound live.
He looks so calm while playing the craziest scratch demo
Here's my take. I'm late 60s - loved both Jimi's(Hendrix & Page), Carlos, Eric, Duane, Beck, Kieth and so on. I've always loved talented and unique guitarists. I have an outdoor type skill I've been at for 45years and am considered an expert by many (5000+ days at my craft) and when those with little experience question me I can't help but ignore there uneducated opinion. I feel any haters or doubters are commenting with jealousy and no understanding. This young man is breaking ground and he's been at it for 13 years now - many have played for much, much longer. It's obvious he's put in the work BUT, it's also obvious he's a rare talent - very rare.I visited a Jazz guitar sit to see their totally in denial of this guys ability and I'm sure most have very little. Marcin should be embraced as I'm feeling lucky to watch one the the best guitarists or all time develop - but hey I'm just a silly old bugger.🤗
Marcin studied on Berckley composition and arrangment classes.
And profesors from this University said that he fake it when people ask how to play like Marcin. And it is imposible to play like that live sooooo...
He heard this from his colleges during his study.
A lot of people hate on this kid, some even think he seems stuck up even though he never speaks in most of his videos. Hopefully this video shows them he’s just a kid who’s having fun with music
It's those people that have a pole stuck up their ass
marcin is way better than those haters, 1000%
because theyre all Tim Henson meat riders
I’m sure all the talentless miserable idiots hate on him. That is what they do.
True. I think the short form just makes a bad impression for some folks, particularly older generations - like me. Or folks who generally think 'less is more' - again like me.
I wasn't convinced by most of the stuff recommended to me about him so far, and he seemed cocky, showing off too much and overly expressive.
But today I watched 2 interviews and I'm impressed by what he does live, how much joy he has from teaching. Still showing off a bit to the point of smiling, but he must also be having good fun and be happy things turn out sounding great. Plus some good sense of humor on top and I'm sold. Especially after seeing some 7y old video from his school where he played classical / flamenco, so he clearly knows what he's doing and it's not just shredding for show hiding lack of skills.
I'd still want to listen sth calmer from him, with fewer notes, but that wouldn't sell as well probably. Maybe once he gets older and/or gets a baby he'll learn there's value out there value in silence / breaks ;)
This young man is a master of his instrument, and he’s only just begun, it blows my mind to think what he’ll be doing when he is 40 or 60. Extraordinary. He is awe inspiring.
I don't see any acoustic guitar player that can surpass this kid
yea cause all the good guitar players are on electric
@iceerush1549 this guy is better than 99% of electric guitar players.
@@iceerush1549 Electric taskes much less skills and is way more forgiving. For example tapping is so much easier
Tim Henson and Ichika are the only two that i know of that can get close.
Check out Russian misko. The kid is just as wired
It's insane how he's able to talk while playing all that wild stuff.
Ему проще играть, чем говорить😂 Он играет как дышит.
It's muscle memory
@@samchrischristopher4786 Only brain has ability to memorize something. Yes, you can remember your fingers positions and some technical nuances but you still have to control your tempo, your dynamics and overall sound because they're processes with feedback so you can't exclude your conscious totally.
@@samchrischristopher4786 I know
@@Ma_X64you don't get what 'muscle memory' is. duh, we know muscle and bone and tendon can't memorize things, but we don't train the fingers to remember, we train through repetition until it becomes ingrained in the subconscious. it's called muscle memory because you're not consciously thinking about it. you just make it happen.
He basically says he plays this way... because he can. Why wouldn't you? ❤
"This is the hardest thing I've ever tried to learn on my channel, and this is my instrument!" 😄 What a fascinating approach to playing!
Oh, also ... wishlisted!
i feel like that's exactly the point, he mentioned it but didn't really went deep into it: trying to learn something completely new is one thing, but trying to rethink around one thing you're very accustomed to do already and approach it from a completely different perspective? that's hard af man
How tf does the video say 1 hour ago and your comment is 17 hours ago
@@TheKrou patreon preview, i guess.
Absolutely incredible.
What an absolute monster, crazy. His ability to improvise and harmonize and play off whatever Rob throws up is very impressive. I love how he just casually talks through brain breaking patterns he’s tapping out with both hands lol wild. Even dudes hair is on point. Props to him :)

He’s a classical trained guitarist that got very very bored with keeping it as it should.
Good on him for breaking out
This kid might just be the greatest guitar players I've ever seen
GOAT
He's not a kid anymore. He is 23 years old.
@pajaneitor-hj3it I'm sure he can play boring camp fire hits you love as well 😈
I agree.
He is great im a guitare player myself and wow he is a genius
I was honestly surprised at how very humble he is! Like, I don't know what I expected, but the way he consistently said "no really, you can do it" and how he did NOT want to hear Rob say how good he was was just really nice and wholesome
And so respectful of Rob's talent, too! "Let me have this one thing!" 😂
probably part of the reason he’s so good
He is genuinly one of the most humble people I've ever met. ❤
Same, I've seen some of his clips and got the impression he was quite the opposite. I was mistaken. 🤷 Sometimes it's easy to associate extreme talent with arrogance, I guess.
@@eted2 I believe its how eccentric he is on camera that might lead some to believe that, not necessarily his talent. But the fact that he isn't just adds a depth to his charisma and persona. It is weird how quickly people can jump to conclusions, but its normal and understandable at the same time.
As a musician myself, I didnt get that impression simply because most people I know in the music scene have a similar nature - especially guitarists! (lol)
You can really tell how much Marcin feels the music he plays though, which I love to see when working with others. It really brings you in on the same journey they experience in the moment.
I found myself looking at Marcin and going "Wow they're jamming really well" only to look over and see Rob not playing at all and instead just being as enchanted as me
The way his mind works is just as fascinating as his guitar playing. Innovation and creativity is the mark of a true master. He's a great teacher too! Very interesting video.
If youre a guitar player its almost impossible to not come across marcin's content. I always thought "Oh, another show-off who can do a lot of fancy things with editing". But listening to him live completely changed my view. Amazing stuff
Not only is his playing impossibly good and fast but his tone in that acoustic is pure gold. What a sweet sounding guitar
That’s Marcin’s signature with Ibanez, the MRC10.
I have to wonder how many guitars he goes through in a year, he's awfully hard on them.
For years, i thought that Tommy Emmanuel is THE best classical guitarist on the planet.
But then ... there is Marcin !
Who leaves me speechless and gobsmacked and mind blown every single time i watch him playing, *becoming* the guitar.
I mean, can Tommy do this ?? I don´t think so.
I would pay to watch and listen to this kid riff for an evening. Experiencing the two of you play off each other was better than any formal concert. All my best to you both.
There is something about just getting together...with no plan...and just having a jam session together....that improv was just awesome......thank you both.
I’ve never seen rob get outclassed on a guitar before. This guy made rob look like a noob
Marcin looks very young but it feels like he is been playing and experimenting with the guitar for 100 years...totally out of this world 🙃
It’s great that Marcin still respects the people who he looked up to when he was learning.
Marcin hears and feels music very differently than most of us.
Marcin got mad talent. So fun to listen and watch
Watching and listening to Marcin makes you realize right away a difference between a regular musician, no matter how good and an actual virtuoso.. This guy understands music on so many levels, theoretical and practical, it's insane and so rare...
Marcin demonstrates here that his gift is not just physical, but also his innate understanding of music theory.
You GO Marcin!
You are demonstrating the wonderful characteristic of generosity in your willingness to share the your knowledge and talent.
Grow! Develop! Challenge! Progress!
You know you’ve made it when Rob Scallon himself tells you “You’re so good at guitar” Congrats man!
I'm really glad Rob had Marcin on here to clear up any theories that his playing is fake or edited lol I see so many comments of people debating that.
Only true geniuses are able to stay truly humble and grounded... Marcin is the best proof of that.
Rob is overwhelmed by Marcin's greatness
Who wouldn't be lol
I thought Tim Henson, Ichika Nito, Mateus Asato, Manuel Hernandez, the likes of those guys are the top of the food chain rn. Until I'm listening Marcin. Holy God this guy is unbelieveably amazing, and how young he is. Idk his ceiling gonna be in his 30s.
Marcin will eat those other guitarists you mentioned alive.
Marcin is above them. Is just insane
I view them as all equal. Tim is a legend in his own right, with an ELECTRIC Guitar and HIS style. All of those guys including Marcin are the future of guitar and music, and I don't place any of them above the others.
Marcin is talented and polished, some other Fingerstyle greats are Don Ross, Andy McKee, Antoine Dafour, Luca Stricagnoli . . . . he plays a three necked guitar
Just wait for him to find out playing simple is the real deal :D
This guys plays his guitar as naturally as he breathes. Every motion is just natural and free flowing.
yes ,' ''as naturally as he breathes''...he IS music... nothing separate and with pure joy! 💖💖💖 kudos Marcin ~ best wishes Dalzenia Artist4Peace
He's that to guitar, what Chopin was to piano.
And both Polish guys.....🤔
Always saw Marcin's videos as coming off as... cocky? Full of himself? And he's 100% not. Talk about bad judgement on my part. What a great interview and collaboration. Have always been impressed by his skill, but now I'm also just impressed with him as a person. Keep bringing that positivity.
I think that's because he's so fucking good that we partially want him to suck as a person. That way we can have at least one thing over him lol
I think he just has like resting smug face haha
Polish people (Slavic ) are just like that.
@@messmeg7582 I'm Polish and don't agree

This man PLAYS the whole ass guitar lol. He milks every possible sound out of the instrument and it is absolutely incredible. What an awesome approach! I literally cracked up laughing at how damn good he is at guitar lmao. Awesome
Holy moley, I dunno who this kids is, but I am so freaking impressed. He looks like he's having the time of him life playing music and it's soo cool. Also, Fretless sounds like a sick game -- excited to try it out when it's released
I had to double check my YT setting to ensure I wasn’t still on 1.5x playback. Dude is insane.
He is so gracious sharung his knowledge, lessons learned, etc and giving so much encouragement! Doesn't display ego just love of gis craft. ❤ Such a joy to hear him! Thank you fr sharing this video
Sorry for the typos. 😮
. There are 3 dots to the right of your post. When you see a typo, hit them and choose
'edit''.
A private lesson with Marcin is something that many people would kill for. You're so lucky, Rob 🎼
Marcin teaches his techniques and breaks down his compositions and arrangements on his Patreon. Not exactly a private lesson, but pretty close. He also does lives every month and people can come on and play and he will help them with things they’re having problems with. He’s just the nicest guy ever.
Ahaha😂
Rob, we need another Marcin video. I've watched this like a hundred times 😅
He plays like he’s the entire band! You can watch 3 guys playing together to make the sounds he does.
Humble ass dude.
Serious talent.
Listening to his music you can hear that he's an exceptional player, but after this video, see how casual he is about it... just unreal.
From all I know of guitar playing I think I have concluded that Marcin has made some kind of deal with the devil?
The devil got guitar lessons.
The broken fingernail which ended the video shoot was a touch of grace; I mean, grace sanctifies nature and perfects it; or, as we are given to understand, what makes prodigy exceptional is that its greatness still inhabits human fragility, our common talent!
Could not agree more brother.
We have a master among us ...a true master...
Truly can’t believe Marcin’s live audio sounds this good
Marcin is incredible. He's so talented, and I started following his videos several years ago. What a God-given talent.
Marcin has no frames or borders in his brain, that's why he's so innovative.
Remarkably humble, my hands have never felt so useless.
3rd time watching this video
everytime I watch, I learn something new
This video finally made me see how much reverb polishes the music being played. Rob sounds like he's practicing in his bedroom while Marcin sounds like he's playing a finished piece in a concert. Very cool
Definitely the best acoustic guitarist of this time.
Probably not, but he's the best band.
None of these comments on how insane this dude is even do him any justice. Truly one of a kind.
those pinky harp harmonics are insane, my right hand can't make that shape, never mind the action.
This video gave me more then 10 years of my previous learning
other guitarists: we gotta think outside the box!
Marcin: what box?
😭
"I haven't seen a box, but check out this guitar"
Have never seen Rob so out of his element. Marcin is something else entirely
He's not just playing that guitar, he has a mad, passionate love with it!
There exist next level artists, and then there is Marcin😮
It feels unreal to see him actually play like that live, with no edits
It was incredible watching Rob in awe of his playing, and it's hard to impress Rob. Marcin is absolutely out of this world.
Marcin playing Kashmir was something else
Wow. I thought Mike Dawes was one of a kind...... I was wrong. This kid is stellar. Much respect.
According to Marcin’s Instagram stories this morning he’s back in Chicago working with Rob again. The two of them had such amazing chemistry in this video. I cannot wait to see what they’re up to this time.
Woow
I must say the chemistry between Rob- Marcin and Marcin- Ichika is great.
Hope they will make few songs together.
Honestly when I first saw his videos I could have sworn that they sped up the recording! ... Mancin blows my mind!
I think marcin is the best guitarist in history ever.
The most impressive thing about this is his ability to articulate and have clean conversation while executing the guitar playing. It really goes to show how second nature the playing has become. Beautiful virtuosity exemplified.
Holy........This kid is something else. Otherworldly on an acoustic. Dang. So young too.
What a beautiful talent this young man has...and he seems like a beautiful soul.
Bro it almost doesn’t even look real, wow
Imaginez juste ses 6 premières minutes soi une masterclass a 1 millions de dollars ce je serais pas assez. C'est de loin la meilleure vidéo et le meilleur cours de musique que je n'ai jamais eu en une vidéo si simple. Merci infiniment 🙏🏾 de partager et surtout de nous montrer la voie de l'excellence. God bless you.
Saw one of his videos once, and wrote it off figuring it was heavily edited and doctored up. Figured he dubbed the sound over. Watching him do this stuff live is astounding. Kid is fucking incredible.
This guy's a genius, I was skeptical about his videos and how accurate the playing is but apparently he can play those live, really impressive! one of the best newer guitarists for sure
Marcin is a musician, he is a gitarist, he is a professor, he is a genius
I have been learning guitar for some time now, and honestly Marcin's AGT audition was one of the reasons why I started learning this amazing instrument... I have always adored guitar but never really had the enthusiasm of learning it.. but when I saw him playing guitar it just got to me... Also, another CZcams guitarist who really made me realise that I wanna play guitar is Alexander Mishko.. I love them... I am not sure if I will ever be able to play the way they play... But I love listening to them and believe❤😊
For being someone who could absolutely be cocky he is so humble and encouraging, it's so refreshing. God bless and protect this wonderful man 🙌
Yes DITTO🥰
Most impressive part his how he's talking and explaining while playing.
This guy is a guitar genius, but he seems to be such an awesome personality as well. So warm, friendly and engaging. I can see where he could so easily, be a super awesome music teacher. And he's so, damn, cute as well. Sorry, I had to say it. ☺
Much Love and Warmest Wishes. Be Well and Safe. Out. 🙂🖐🏼😌
It's awesome seeing people that have mastered something so well, that they can joke and talk while performing things that we couldn't even think up.
This is so impressive, to say the least
I used to dislike this guy. You'd see him on insta and theres a lot of hate, no way this is live etc... to see him just cleanly pull this off like that while just sitting having a conversation is so impressive. Guy is ridiculously talented, you'd have to be so jealous to still hate him after this. I mean I am jealous, but i gotta give the man his props and go practice haha.
The only thing I can't stand is that tiktok stare everyone does nowadays but that's not his fault that's humanity's fault.
He seems like a really down to earth cool guy.
I've been a fan of Marcin since he was a kid, never heard him speak! 🤯 He is an actual prodigy!!!
So I’m a degenerate piece of garbage, recovering heroin addict, pretty much full blown alcoholic. Just generally depressed.. but this video has me legitimately about to walk over to get some strings and restring my guitar to start playing again.. thank you so goddamn much for this guys.. you both rule
Hey bro, sorry yo read you're battling with addictions, but keep going! You're not a piece of garabage, you're actually really strong for fighting that battle, it takes a Lot of courage, play your guitar a Lot and enjoy it, also work out ant eat a Lot of fruita and drink a Lot of water, wish You the Best on your Journey, a Big hug and the Best of the energy!!!!!
A man only needs a purpose, something drugs and alcohol will never fullfil. Restring that guitbox and have at it. I wish you well in your endeavors to sobriety. God Bless.
Perhaps work on that self-concept of yours.
Everything you’ve been through and are working through are the perfect sources to write dynamic music from.
Though, it’s only gonna get made if you start to change the way you see yourself - and set the tone for how others will see you.
You totally have the power to become the kind of person who can do the very same thing for another, that Marcin and Rob did for you.
Though, you gotta start by believing in yourself - regardless of your “story.”
Best wishes and warmest regards.
Jesus loves you! And he wants ro restore everything, that is broken in your life. Just ask him, to help you. He will do!!!
Hey man.. u can do it man ..i being fighting myself for many years ..havent won yet but i wont give up ..keep going man 💪🏻
