Lowdown: The Most Impressive Gotye Cover? (VIDEO)

What is tonight, you ask? Why, it’s International Guitar Night at the Arcata Playhouse, of course! What the hell does that mean? Well, in this instance it means that four master-level acoustic string manipulators will share the stage for a night of virtuosity that’s sure to make you want to retire from strumming. Your antagonists: IGN founder Brian Gore, Italy’s Pino Forastiere, Argentina’s Quique Sinesi and England’s Mike Dawes. These guys are good guitar guys.

To give you an idea of the level of fretboard magicianry at work here, please attempt to comprehend what Mike Dawes has done to Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” in the clip below. We are going to go out on a limb and say that you can’t do that. 

Keep practicing. Details on IGN and other less frustrating Monday night events in your Lowdown below.
