God, that phrase after the turnaround at 1:38 melts my ear drums like butter

I love how Laszlo says that Luca's musical teacher didn't oppose his self-taught direction; however, my piano teacher and mom did. They always wanted me to learn how to read the notes; however, I was playing by ear at age 4 with both hands. Today, I'm back into playing without the aid of reading notes, Luca is an inspiration.

Great music! It's great to see people from all over the world enjoying and even making their own styles of blues music. From California, lots of respect to you. Memphis Slim would be proud :D

The music says more than I can with words. Beautiful, just beautiful. Loved the nods to Gershwin and Foster.

You are amazing! I'm a singer who only wishes to work with someone as passionate about music as you. I can hear your soul all over this. You better play man!

The amount of soul seeping through his fingers is quite impressive, this dude has skill!
@DavidBRobson 7 years ago

Laszlo - big thank you. I was stunned. It's not the obvious skills that Luca demonstrates it's the feeeeeel that he blends into the piece. This level of feeling is normally only delivered by a voice with soul or the very BEST blues guitars - and he's only 17!

Closing time, smokey barroom blues. Man, that stirs my soul... The images it conjures up in my head. So sweet.
