- “Take Me Home, Country Roads” available on Spotify, Apple Music and all other platforms.
DESCRIPTION
My version of « Take Me Home, Country Roads” is dedicated to a beautiful little girl named Faith Smith. I had the pleasure of meeting her on tour in the USA, during a school workshop, and even at her young age she is already a fighter. She also has an amazing family. Lots of love to you, Faith! You are inspiring.
To play this masterpiece by John Denver, I used my Reversed Slide Neck. I hope you enjoy it and feel peace and comfort. As always, I am super grateful for the work of my wife Meg Pfeiffer, who shot the video.

My best friend in high school, his girlfriend and I would go cruising around in 1975 / 1976 singing John Denver songs and nailing 3 part harmony. Thank you Mr. Stricagnoli for reminding me when life was a little slower, a little less angry and that 3 friends cruising in a car singing 3 part harmony was COOL!
Reading that comment made me smile. I don't know if our world will ever be like that again but those times were awesome. We are blessed to have lived in them. Thank you for reminding me of a better time.

John Denver was my best friend’s favorite artist. I was also a 70’s kid (born 1960). I always loved this song. All we worried about then were gas prices and nuclear war. Racism was rampant, the middle class was shrinking. Hmmm…not much changes. Except that we never felt like we were going to lose our country, we weren’t worried about being shot going to the store or for wearing a mask. We weren’t worried about all of our loved ones dying in a pandemic…I just lost what was left of my family last year. I miss those carefree days too, because we felt like we could handle anything that was thrown at us. Not anymore. Things are out of control.
@@sigsin1 the power of music is amazing. We still have this to help us remember and reflect. I'm sorry for your loss.
@@sigsin1 Thanks for sharing :) But I think, while a lot of things are messed up, a lot of good things are happening in the world too. And humans will go to crazy length and endure to keep moving on. Hard times and bad things will make people want to improve it. I don't think we should be pessimistic
If John Denver were alive I'm sure he'd have you playing at one of his concerts cause that's amazing
Underrated comment. I believe he would be proud.
😮
My father passed away April 2nd 2022 and this was mine and his favorite song to drive down a back road. Listening to this made me smile for the first time since I lost him. 😔 thank you so much for this.
Same with me bro..my father passed away august 2019 and this song one of his favorite song when he was drive down a back road...
I m sorry for you lost and i can understand why this song was there favrot song its mins now it make me want to cry 😢
Essa música me traz tranquilidade e paz.
same with my mother who passed away about 1 month earlier then your father, (march 4th 2022)
The power of music is amazing especially for people who suffer with Alzheimers
Slide fretless guitar perfectly in tune while playing another guitar perfectly as well. This is some next level playing.
Absolutely is some Next Level Playing.
Looks like an acoustic steel guitar tho
Has anyone ever seen this setup before this video?
@@bassguitarislife3419 No ! Fascinating ...
@@bassguitarislife3419never. It's amazing though
Luca Stricagnoli The best!
How this has 1.5M views and only 58k likes is unbelievable. Who do you know that can play a guitar and a slide guitar at the same time and sound this good? God bless you Luca for putting out such a great sound!
Many views are from embeded videos in websites and messenger/whatsapp where there is no like button.
I'm sure if you crunched the numbers on other videos you'd find the ratios to be about the same.
I'm pretty sure it's because people listen to this song on repeat, but can only like it once per account. I know I've listened to it at least 20 times.
bro this is a recording.... nobody sits there half ass tapping out deconstructed bar chords on an acoustic guitar that sound perfect. This is a music video for a recording, not a performance. i guarantee that IF he can actually play both like this at the same time it sounds nothing like this recording. jesus, ppl in the comments, how can you possibly think this is a "performance"?
@@cameronlowen267not just that... you can hear the steady percussion, but you can't see him doing it in the video
John Devnver is smiling from heaven! One man band! Excellent as always!
John Denver would be proud to have you play his song in such a unique way. In my memory, I can hear him sing
Hello 👋 Janet. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Always listening to this during morning. It gives me the feeling of a country vibes. I feel myself in my home town even though i am in a city now.👍😍
did you used to live in a small country side town ?
I have no clue why but this brought a big stupid smile to my face.
I'm also jealous of this guy's talent
As someone born and bread in the great state of West Virginia I completely approve of this rendition. Great job!!
I FLEW over here to hear this one. One of my favorite artists of all time, and one of THE best natural male vocalists, as well. You did him proud.
I was just thinking about this as I listened and saw your comment. I think John Denver was an excellent writer and his vocal clarity was incredible.
Although I don't consider myself a big fan, I still enjoy hearing his songs and was saddened when he died. I saw him live once, many decades ago. I think he opened for the Dirt Band at UMR back in the 70s. He put on a good show.
@@nvrumi I saw John Denver a few times. One of THE best live performers I've ever seen. We always seem to have to put aside some kind of character flaw in those we admire, but then again, so must others, in regards to ourselves. I think that's what makes music so awesome- we're never stuck to just one style or type of sound.
John was his albums. I can think of no greater complement to pay him.
@@rickrickard2788 Agreed. I sometimes listen to his music on Pandora and have thought more than once I should add a few of his albums to my collection.
He was active when I was a young man, so there are lots of connections between the time of his songs and times in my life. I suppose we all have those connections to music. It's powerful.

Being able to watch this as many times as you want for free is pretty remarkable.
His sound is unique and deserves much more than tons of views on YT. I seriously love it
I was in such a terrible mood, then youtube offered me your cover. Amazing, calming, and just what I needed to turn my day around :) Thank you, sir!
Lots of Love to Luca from India 🇮🇳
Keep growing
The video "just wow" so nice well played, outstanding
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Luca,
right now at the moment I'm learning lose yourself by you. It is so brilliant and creative. Thank you for the great inspiration.
Grazie per il tuo lavoro!
John Denver would have loved this. Especially since he liked doing tricks with his guitar when he played❤️
Hello 👋 Melissa. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Я не могу понять, почему у него так мало просмотров, он достоин миллионов, он настоящий виртуоз!!!
Потому чот , нынешнее поколение любит питаться полуфабрикатами, типа моргенчлена.
Но всё не так плохо, есть и ценители.
@@eucrider 😢😢
Потому что без вокала. Большинству нравится музыка с вокалом.
Luca never fails to impress me. His brain must be preserved after his passing!
This has to be the coolist performance of Country Roads I've ever heard, and I have listened to many over the past 45 years.
Simply Beautiful! Awesome sound, visual, and spectacular camera work!
I'm quite confident that he is, in fact, holding the camera with one of his legs.
I am sure John is clapping from heaven! Me too---bravo
Damn..there's a lot of cover and reorchestrations of this song, most of them are great and beautiful but none of them outmatched the original to my eyes..until now.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Missed my home, my family
That hurts my brain. I can't think on that many levels. Wow! This guy is a damn near genius.
This was my grandmother's favourite song. She was far from easy to be with, but this cover helps make my memories of her a bit more mellow. Thanks, Luca. You rock!
omg this is so beautiful i'm literally on the verge of tears.
Beautiful, you can almost here John. I miss him so much.
Эхххх...Люка!!!!
Играете на Струнах Души!!!
Великолепно!!!
БРАВО!!!!
Absolutely amazing. An inspiration as always Luca.
You make the world a brighter place with your talent.
If this wasn't a video I would swear it was 3 guys playing. Unbelievable talent. ❤️
this made my day. this put me at peace and set a big smile on my face. as I fellow musician I love every part of this wonderful arrangement and my red neck side loves the creativity to no end. please do cover more country tunes good sir!
Listening to this song always makes me miss home. This version is absolutely beautiful. I closed my eyes and could see myself driving those country back roads throughout West Virginia.
Just when I thought I had seen it all, THIS shows up in my feed. I didn't know I needed it until I heard and saw it played. Magnificent!
I love this song country roads take me home
This is absolutely incredible. It gave me chills!
It's absolutely beautiful! Faith has a rare brain cancer called DIPG. It has a less than 1% survival rate. She faces every day with a smile on her face and a great sense of humor. Please help raise awareness for pediatric cancer. Thank you Luca for all you do ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
((hugs)) to you and Faith
"Hmm, yes, how can I make this about me..." -- You
@@spicytea735 how awful do you have to feel to reply with something like this. Hope everything's okay. Both with Ashleigh and you.
Multitasking like a guitar-god, there's no single word for a great artist like you. Hats off to such a great talent and I feel myself lucky that sometimes you respond to my comments 😇😇
I will never get tired of this song and neither this video😌
Oohhh beautiful melody love love love it ❤️❤️❤️
So Simply Beautiful
Thank you 💗💗💗
As always the music is sublime. And the outfits and scenery only add another dimension to your perfection.
How did I not see this. Was posted on my Bday and im from WV! LOVE IT!!
Happy belated birthday. Watching from Ottawa 🇨🇦
This is just AMAZING.
Another Masterpiece ! Very well done Sir. John Denver should be happy listening to this one 🙏❤
Amazing 🥰
Excellent, JOHN IS SMILING DOWN ON THIS ONE!!!
Luca is - by far and without any doubt - the greatest guitarist ever seen on planet earth
This man needs to be featured playing for or along side the bands he plays!
he does not need a band though 😄
Never happen
They wouldn't want to be shown up
And John Denver is dead. Haha
He's already playing lead, rythm, bass, percussion and vocals. There's nothing left for anyone else to do.

For some reason, before my eyes is a scene from the Office in which Dwight and Andy's plays it 😀
no one could or ever will do it better then the great JOHN DENVER!!!!
I simply cannot begin to understand how you do that!
মন ভালো করে দেওয়া কভার। ছোটবেলার গরমের দুপুরের ছুটি মনে করে দেওয়া সুর!
অনেক ভালোবাসা!❤️
Bangali peye khushi holam😊
Ковбой не слезая с коня выдаёт замечательные вещи.
Wow , can' t say anymore . Thumbs Up
Literally no words to convey how cool this is and how much song means to mean and so many of us. Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
RUclips may have a lot of faults, but showcasing awesome talent like this isn’t one of them… bravo!
You are a genius ... that's what I have to say 🤟 Love from Israel ♥ ️
I agree,...!
U have played Denver song fantastic.
This music can calm my mind
Beautiful
😌 🎶🎶🎶..... 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Eheu
Одним словом мастер! 👍👍👍
Its just like a two souls playing ensemble....Awesome
I didn't grow up with him. This is more folk than country. I loved this song as a child. He was before my time and died when I was three in 1997. This is one of my favorites by him. He only wrote the chorus to this song though.
Bro i love you're covers but this is a hard one. My mum passed on 16th March, we played this at her funeral. Simply beautiful timing my guy, its her birthday tomorrow😢
Hope you did something in her honor. Stay strong. Tough times pass but tough people remain.
Be blessed, Daniel !
Much love, brother 💛 thanks for offering your heart here 🙏
You mean “YOUR covers.”
@@nicoladibara1936 there always has to be that 1 person and im guessing you woke up and decided YOU are that person👏 we have out winner of the douchebag 👍
That was so amazing. Beautifully played!
You're the best men...listening this music all night when i sleep
Humans never cease to Amaze me!
This is great. Im sure John denver approves.
What great talent! Thank you so much for sharing.
I absolutely love it. This can turn the worst day into a much better one.
Whenever I’m in a bad mood I just sit back and relax to this masterpiece
Это именно то, что нужно после экзаменов! Спасибо)
Да и после трудового дня, под бутылочку пива, тоже отлично расслабляет😁
Nice rendition , smooth , down home and very listenable . Loved it.!
Mesmerizing!
WOW!! And I can't even pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time.
*Lyrics*
[Verse 1]
Almost Heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 2]
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
[Bridge]
I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus]
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
[Outro]
Take me home, (Down) country roads
Take me home, (Down) country roads
Fantastic , now I can play and sing this song too 😃🎸
Beautifully done. Thank you! Takes me back to high school.
One of my family's favorite songs. Thank you for this.
Most unique guitar style I've ever had pleasure of hearing . Well done pilgrim

Beautiful song!and a beautiful performance!
You are an amazing player sir! Everything that you've covered has been extraordinary and this is no exception
This is one of the most lovely melodies in existance.
HE STUCK HIS PECKER THRU THE BACK AND IS STRUMIN/STROKIN FROM THE INSIDE.....IT'S MAGIC...YOU JUST HAVE TO BE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE SONG
Awesome
Amazing as always, waiting for another banjo masterpiece
A million claps from Philippines!
Wish I could perform like this. . .
