Over the weekend, a fascinating and rocking cover of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" started making it rounds on social media. It's an instrumental version, featuring just one acoustic guitar (played in a parking garage, for increased echo). Check it out here.

The artist performing is a 20-year old Polish guitarist named Marcin Patrzalek, who just goes by Marcin, and who already has a record deal. Of note to guitar fans, he offers tablature explanations for his various guitar videos at his official website; he's played everything from Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" to Dr. Dre's "Still D.R.E."

Tom Morello and Paul Stanley were among those wowed by his skills.
