Just wanted to let you know that your music is about 90% of my 2 year old's sleep/car ride/ play time playlist. He's been jamming your tunes for literally his whole life and I think it has something to do with his overall happy demeanor and intelligence. Thanks for giving my son an early love of music.
Aaarrgghh BEST COVER EVER!!!!!!!!! I cant believe you nailed so many of the chord voicings sooo good right in the feels!!! Is that drop D tuning going on to nail some of those chord progressions.. can't believe you caught and built in so many of the little nuanced phrases that make this song so utterly groovy. Man like Sam got more grooves than a hundred records. Been listening to this song as a little kid in the 80s when Hong Kong popstar Anita Mui covered it. I only discovered decades later as an adult the Japanese original by Mariya. You Sir have CRUSHED it!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
this is undoubtedly the best guitar cover of plastic love on youtube. it's not stale, has so much GROOVE, true to the song with added flair and style, and also, by the way his hand stretches in some parts it's definitely unique to him lol. god DAMN that T-A-S-T-Y bass lick at 1:57-1:58 😫👌🏼💦 i only wish sam finished the song and did the ending riff that would've made this perfect. still perfect though great work!
YOOOOOOOOO this arrangement is incredible. I've been trying to arrange it for piano and I feel like I didn't have enough fingers, but you fit the entire song into just 6 strings
1. Like before watching 2. Chills up my spine 3. As a guitar player hobbyist, feeling ill never come close to this good but also feeling so inspired to play more. Thanks for putting these videos up. I still can't get over how it always sounds like TWO guitars.
Coulda sworn I commented on here...apparently not...excellent cover! Was especially obsessed with this 2 years ago or so and now one of my fav guitar youtubers covered it
This came at a strangely perfect time (currently learning about Japanese pop music in my East Asian music class at Columbia) and the cherry on top is that the playing is amazing (as always)! I also want to take the time to say you’ve been a huge reason that I play classical guitar today and you’ve impacted my playing as much as the greats! Thanks for all your work Sam!

Dude nice!
This is awesome. Peak dad goals.
Now this is a certified GIGA CHAD moment
Same here, my kids love his stuff.
Aww dude that’s honestly heartwarming to hear.
It’s true. Nothing increases IQ like my vids. I’ve always said that.
This not only rocks my socks off, but it kindly puts them back on.
Bro I'm polite!
C'mon, you can't just grab a wrinkled shirt off the ground and expect us to be impressed with your perfect guitar skills.
You can't bother yourself with mundane tasks like ironing when your learning how to play this well!
should've learned the washboard 🤷♂️
I though it was deliberate
what wrinkled shirt? all i saw was insane fingerwork
Yes he can.

Yo thanks so much! I tried to get as much of the inner stuff as i could
OMG, Sam Griffin and City Pop, that's the best. Really love Maryia Takeuchi. Please consider an arrangement of any Tatsuro Yamashita's song. :D
I'd love to watch Sam play "kiss" by Tatsuro Yamashita !!
Ride On Time!
Silent screamer
"Country" pop!
Ooo i’ll check some out!
Your arrangements are always so good, Sam. Nice one!

You adapted this so well for guitar. It kept that same groovy feel 👏 Great work!

Really awesome to see a cover of this, Plastic Love (especially Friday Night Plans' cover) is one of my favourite songs.
The refrain gives me goose bumps everytime
Damn that looks rough on the left hand! Nice playing! I like how you fit in some of those little callback melodies and bass lines in there too
Man, I'm so happy about this. I've loved this song for years, and of course the perfect man for the job covered it! Keep up the great work man!

Never heard the actual song, so I did. It's so good and this is awesome! ❤
I wasn't ever expecting a cover of a City Pop classic. Just awesome!

Millions cried in terror, as their recommendations would change forever.

I believe this is the single best guitar arrangement and performance on the internet.
Ok now I'm dancing
Definitely had some groove to it
Well that put a smile on my face. Bravissimo !!!!
This is just beautiful.
Well done. I am so happy this song (and city pop in general) is getting love again.
