Just stumbled across this video on YouTube. I usually skip anything like that, but this cover sounds amazing, not cringeworthy at all. It's inspiring, well-played, well-recorded. Man I love that. What I do right now is actually listen this in a loop mode. Thanks Levi!

Very good indeed, beautiful vibratos.

He plays an unknown brand guitar from me, Macmull S Classic. Apparently really great but SOOOOOO expensive guitar.

the vibrato at the end of the notes are very manic and shaky, and sort of haphazardly tacked on to the ends without much thought. the tone is quite nice and very clean. the first note of the section at 2:06-2:07 made me wince due to the sharpness. If it were me I think I'd just start the video again. moments like around 2:55 he should be careful not to go sharp. it wouldn't be as big of a deal in a faster song, but a song like this it's just you and the guitar. overall it's pleasant to listen to, he has some good moments.
