Polish guitarist Marcin Patrzalek wowed the judges this week on America's Got Talent, showing off his unique technique that sets him apart in a sea of guitarists.
At 18, Patrzalek has already made a name for himself before appearing on the popular NBC show. His unique percussive technique and classical guitar abilities earned him the top spot on Poland's talent show Must Be the Music when he was 13, and he won Italy's talent show Tu Si Que Vales last year.
Judge Simon Cowell commented, "The fact you got the reaction you just got without anything around you, other than just you and the guitar and a couple of wires, really tells us what an amazing talent you have."
Cowell added that Patrzalek is "one of the best I've ever heard."
Fellow judge Julianne Hough called Patrzalek an "absolute natural," and said he "has a shot to win this whole thing."
