This Version Of A-Ha’s ‘Take On Me’ Will Transfer You To Another Dimension

All you guitar fans out there prepare yourself for yet another amazing performance, one that would make you want to unlearn and explore new boundaries.

In this video, Guitarist Alexandr Misko presents another inspiring finger-style arrangement, with an unbelievable version of a-ha’s 1985 hit Take on Me. This song is still popular, or rather even more popular than it was in the days of its origin. People have realized the value of lyrics as they bring meaning to the song.

Before you witness Alexandr Misko’s amazing talent, let me tell you a bit about him; he has an extremely humble character and his aim in life is to envision the depth of well-written songs and reflect it through his solos. He is inspired by minimalist artists like Steve Reich and Philip Glass. His favorite styles are technical death metal, shoegaze, cloud rap, chillstep and new age.

In the video, you can see him stroke some chords which will touch your heart. He truly is a master player as no one before has been able to play the entire song on one guitar. The way he keeps track of his tuning, arranging and percussion is truly mesmerizing. It is sensational guitar playing in its purest form! The way he plays it is so inspiring, even for someone who is not well acquainted with the workings of a guitar.

He has fans from all over the world; even the people who have been playing guitar for years find it unbelievable that he has been able to achieve such an amazing talent at a young age.

If Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, a-ha’s guitarist, was alive to see this young man go at it, Alexandr would surely receive a pat on his back!
