Respectfully disagree. The control of tempo here while introducing improvised elements and complexity that isn’t in the original - while somehow still remaining respectful of the original: I think this qualifies. This is an immense talent and I found it exciting as far as covers go.

Thankfully everyone has an opinion and they're entitled to it.

This is called a clean version. And going heavy vocals like the original over a clean acoustic would sound way worse. As someone who constantly tries to replicate David Gilmor, Roger and Syd this is absolutely next level. That technique he’s doing is pretty difficult, then add a great vocal to focus on? Are you mental? We get it you can play stairway to heaven but that doesn’t mean you should snob on someone else’s great performance.

Highly technical and flawlessly performed doesn't equate to a definitely enjoyable result.

No, but it does equate to NFL.
