Michael Jackson Songs Played in the Style of 20 Top Guitarists
What would it sound like if 20 of the world's greatest and most famous guitarists played Michael Jackson songs?
Portuguese guitarist André Antunes has attempted to answer this question. He uploaded a video to YouTube playing Michael Jackson songs in the styles of 20 top guitarists, including David Gilmour, Brian May, Carlos Santana, Slash, and Jimi Hendrix. And in case you were wondering — Eddie Van Halen, one of the most influential rock guitarists of the 20th century and the guitarist on "Beat It," is not among Antunes' twenty chosen players.
The video appears to be Antunes' response to fans who had asked him to introduce his favorite guitarists. In the video, fans' Facebook comments appear in the corner of the frame, containing their requests to Antunes and their insistence that he not leave their favorite guitarist off the list.
Watch the video:
The video received 30,000 views on YouTube within three days, and according to Antunes, it has been his best and most successful work.
In the video, Antunes plays a medley of three songs: Smooth Criminal, Billie Jean, and Beat It.
At the end of the video, Antunes sets his guitar on fire and urinates on it.
