When NBA Hires Just One Guitarist for a Halftime Show 

bro thats so cool they played a basketball game at your show

Bro is legit like “I paid for the whole Guitar therefore I play THE WHOLE Guitar.”

Im glad the NBA finally found real talent.

Mom, why is there a basketball game in the middle of a concert ?

The fact they rented a whole stadium and hired TWO entire basketball teams just as an addition to your performance is crazy! 😮

Please get me a good lawyer.. My Guitar just filed a divorce after watching this.

This guy doesn't need awards,awards need this guy

Holy shit... I've Been playing for 20 years and all I can say is holy shit... Unbelievable guitar player 🇺🇸

To see Marcin, I would actually sit through a whole basketball game. 😂

The dude represents everything missing from popular music these days. Talent, the ability to play an instrument, style, flannel, 90's jeans, and a Dawson's Creek haircut. You're amazing dude!

We have finally witnessed the full use of the instrument 😮

The NBA should send him on halftime tour throughout the season. This dude is AMAZING! Hands down maybe the best I’ve ever seen & his style is original. PAY THIS MAN!

The crowd doesn’t know what they are witnessing…. You’re truly one of the most skilled guitar players of all time!

I have played guitar for over 30 years....seen many, many amazing styles. This is literally an insane skill level and showmanship. And he's young still!

Could watch this guy play for hours, absolutely amazing talent!

…they get a player who can melt your face off with an acoustic. Absolutely amazing.

Not only a prodigy, but a showman. Just don't let the world take your soul, son.

As a musician, drummer, audio engineer, and homesteader, I will say, that was a flippin awesome arrangement and performance! Thank you RU-vid algorithms for brightening my rainy day!

Just the fact that he had the whole crowd engaged speaks for itself!!!

I'm 51 years old and you are the most entertaining performer I had ever saw. Thank you. ❤

How nice of the NBA to host a basketball game during a Marcin concert

No razzle-dazzle, gyrating dancers, or special effects - just talent!

Maricin is the artist. He is on Sonys label. And, is of Polish birth. In Poland, he is regarded very highly. And considered a world class musician.

I bet no one at the FRAUD Grammys can do this. This is real talent.

For the people saying he can’t play clean in live 😂 Master Marcin

I remember when this guy was a small artist auditioning for talent shows - he’s made it big and he deserves it!

Playing classic opera airs mixed with rock pieces in such a creative way is really entertaining.

One of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard or seen!!

I think this is the kind of passion I'm missing in a lot mainstream music these days. This dude is awesome. Great stage presence and talent.

Love how social media was able to get this guy to the NBAs. Hard work pays off

Lame ass crowd this dude deserves the best venues out there 🙌🏻

The level of skill to pull this off is insane! Redefines what you can do on a guitar.

Changing the tuning as part of the songs’ transition is CRAZY 😲

I saw that guy in the crowd leaving until the music began and he sat right back down 😂❤

It is always pure joy to see Marcin. I’ll bet he absolutely LOVED playing at an NBA game. You can just TELL. I can totally picture it.. “Canegie Hall? Can’t I play at Halftime instead so I can watch the game?”

Absolutely incredible. I bet your parents are so incredibly proud. As a mom, I would cry every time I heard him perform if that were my son 🥺

absolutely mesmerizing! as someone who plays percussive fingerstyle guitar, what Marcin does is absolutely insane. Not only because of the hard techniques, the fast tempo, but because of how meticulously PERFECTLY CLEAN it is!!! People perhaps don't realize how hard is it to: 1. practice it enough to be good enough to perform. 2. Overcome all the uncertainties and nervousness in a live environment (not the same as playing in your bedroom). 3. Make almost NO mistake at all. 4. Be CLEAN AF. 5. Have all these extra fancy techniques and "showing-offs" while still allowing the audience to connect with the music that THEY KNOW. 6.On top of all this, STANDING UP to play + smile + have all kinds of cool movements to actually PERFORM for a huge audience and be ENTERTAINING. Honestly, if someone has done one of these successfully, they'd appreciate how much hard work Marcin has put into this. He is a natural. A world class guitarist.

My guitar is looking at me with tears from her dusty corner and says "u never touched me like that"

I just saw Marcin in concert in Poland three hours ago, sitting in the second row next to the stage! Most amazing concert I've ever seen, and I'm 66 years old! I was just watching his fingers in awe for over an hour.

ONE HANDED PLAYING AANNND PULLIN' AUGUST RUSH SHIZ, HOLY MOTHER OF MUSIC! 🤯

One kid with more talent than the whole collective NFL halftime shows.

That was the sneakiest way to go to DADGAD I have ever seen. I think the original tuning was EGDGAD, so bro had to tune 2 strings as a transition to get into the correct tuning for Kashmir. Dude is on another level.

Hands down! The best guitarist that has ever lived! I bow to thee

If I was just listening to his performance without seeing the image I would certainly say that he was playing accompanied by an entire band.

Always sounds condescending when people say this, but truly, most people don’t realize what they witnessed. This guy is easily one of the best guitarists I’ve ever seen.

Its refreshing to see professional sports give someone with actual musical talent a chance to perform for once

I love that he’s having a good time.

it's one thing to be able to make videos playing your music, but to be able to perform live, with that same integrity, at a venue like this.. it's another level. You earned my respect. Bravo!

Guarantee 90% of the audience doesn't even realize the talent this young man delivered. Well, I say play. Play for the 10% and let them be entertained by your talent.

No way this young man has this level of skill. That was amazing. Dude is a prodigy.

I heard this kid for the first time on AGT. He is fantastic. The NBA was lucky to get him. In fact the NFL should look into him for the Super Bowls half time show. It would be more talent that what's they've had in the past.

How come these few moments watching this young dude were more entertaining than watching some of the concerts with old rock artists I’ve seen this last year!!😂you go man!

His full use of the guitar and every sound it can make is what gets me.

when you got talent, it just shows! no fancy clothes, no back up dancers, just pure performance!!! AMAZING! Now I wanna watch u perform live👏👏👏👏

23yrs old. I can't even imagine Marcin in his 30s/40s 🤯🙌

Dude. Thats some profound use of acoustic science. Legit technique but the real evidence of brilliance is how well you used the body of the guitar and mic placement to get those sounds. Dope shit.

Way better than any superbowl halftime show I've seen.

I’ve been following Marcine for probably two years now at least. His level of excellence is unparalleled. Makes my heart happy to see him in this kind of a caliber.

The guitar didn’t even know it could be played like dat. Bro u are out of this world

They only hired one because one was all they needed! Haha Holy smokes, that is some amazing talent!!!

Jeeeeez dude 😂 That was incredible

The NBA has shown it has taste here. Marcin is a maestro of tunes for this century . God gifted him. Amazing.

Utterly amazing that I hear people who can't play a single instrument nor write their own music on the radio EVERY DAY and this literal savant is only shown to me on RU-vid. STOP SELLING OUT WORLD...PLEASE BRING BACK ACTUAL JAW DROPPING TALENT LIKE THIS!!!! ❤❤❤❤

He is amazing. It was awesome of him to open and close with a basketball game at his own concert though!

Wow 🤯 I'm a lifelong guitar player, and it's rare to see someone that blows my mind. And that young man did exactly that.

Anyone else reflexively applaud even though you're watching this recording on RU-vid?

Top tier!! I love this 'kid' (I get to call him that cuz I'm over 60 😂) his skill is unmatched, his passion infectious, and from watching interviews: he's humble and sharp. Everyone will know his name, soon! 💕

Absolutely phenomenal

To be fair, Marcin is one of the most underrated renowned guitarists in the world. Definitely on par with Andy McKee and others.

We NEED him for Super Bowl half time! No more unrealistic entertainment! This young man is AWESOME, incredible musician! He is a real music artist! You young man have a new sub here!

Wow! Such effortlessly INSANE talent and performance!!!!! You seriously need over 100 million likes! 🎉🎉🎉❤

Marcin is AMAZING! I have followed this virtuoso for a few years now... love his style! Pure joy!

This is an achievement for guitar. It is a mainstream performance for a solo guitarist. Kudows to you. This will be inspiring many kids to go home and tell their parents they want to play guitar!!

There's playing the guitar, then there's playing the ENTIRE guitar. Whoa, and some Zep to boot!

Nice to see some talent and class brought to a sports performance, instead of bombarding us with excess and smut.

Best halftime show ever! No lip syncing. No auto tune, no wardrobe malfunctions. I'd say the NBA is far wiser with the artist that they chose, than any NFL halftime show. Outstanding!❤🎉

I thought it was pre recorded, until he "missed" one note. What an absolute legend.

That is one guy who transformed what it means to be a guitarist and made it his own.

This guy is brilliant!! Finally halftime real talent!

I have Multiple Sclerosis and some days I cannot stand up; however when I heard you play, my whole being listened while I stood on my feet in awe! God Bless your skill and gift to move even the lame like me. ❤

And THIS is how a half time show should be! Straight, pure music for ALL ages!

Marcin even changed the tuning so that he could link different pieces together that normally he would not have been doing back to back. Genius level work. He's adorable. 😊🎉❤❤

This young man is amazing...🙏

Love that smile at the end..you rocked that crowd!!!❤🎉🎉❤😊

You know you're in for some amazing shit when you realize the dude's guitar has to wear protective gear. Marcin, you ALWAYS bring it full force, and this was absolutely exceptional.

This is the same guitarist that blew the audience away on America's Got Talent some years back. He's indeed exceptional.

This guy has been doing this style since he was 14 and knew classical. So much respect to him and been following his style for awhile❤

Goosebumps. This dude can play!

superhuman. freak of nature. unique talent. words can't express how special this man is. he is the Paganini of our age.

Marcin, I’m 63 years old I’ve played music most of my life on several instruments burly guitar and bass. You my young friend are the best acoustic guitarist alive in my opinion! I’m subscribed to you here, follow on instagram and Spotify! I just can’t believe how amazing you are and I’ve seen many amazing concerts like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Ozzy with Randy Rhodes on guitar and so many others but you are definitely my favorite you don’t even need a band behind you! I have a channel too but nothing remotely close to yours! Just amazing! 🎼🎵🎶🎸🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😎

No sólo virtuoso sino también genio, tiene la creatividad para ser único.

Best regards from Indonesia of South East Asia for Mr. Marcin, world top guitarist

This crowd is in the presence of actual greatness and they're completely unaware of it. Absolutely killed it 🔥

Wow. This dude is incredibly talented. The NBA should hire just one guitarist more often

The man is the entire band. Crazy talent

I absolutely love watching Marcin's technique and unparalleled arrangement! He's plays a guitar unlike anyone on Earth! Every video blows me away!

Marcin finally gave Suns fans something to cheer for.

Another rare good reason to have internet - getting to see amazing people do truly amazing things!!! Soooo much junk and then this!!!!

I never thought a guitar could sound like an entire band. I know how to play it but I'm not even at a beginner level compared to him. I'm not into that genre of music but I can't help hitting that thumbs up button.

The fact that dude is still young and so skilled is scary crazy performance!❤
