The figure of Alif Gustakhiat or as we know him better as Alip Ba Ta is a few people who are given extraordinary abilities. His expertise in processing guitar strings earned him the nickname Dewa Fingerstyle Indonesia. His talent and skills were extraordinary, and it received recognition from international guitarists.

Alip Ba Ta complements Fingerstyle heroes in the archipelago, such as Jubing Kristianto and I Wayan Balawan. But what is quite interesting is the appearance of this Alip. Because it went viral on social media, people were looking for it. Then a video appears via a Youtube account with the Alip Ba Ta account.

The video, which was made very simple, both in terms of sound and image, turned out to bewitch national and international guitarists. Many are anxious about the appearance of Alip Ba Ta in his videos. In the video that often circulates, it only shows Alip Ba Ta with a Bolong or Acoustic Guitar with a background wall in a boarding house. Even the wall, which is always the video's background, looks like the paint is faded and even peeled off in some parts.

But the viewers are always not less ...
... than one million in every video he uploads. What makes it so amazing is that Alip Ba Ta himself rarely or seldom talks in these videos. The advantages of that display make us get carried away and become focused on the playing and the resulting guitar sound. We become an independent work of art, namely fingerstyle guitar, without being disturbed by other ornaments.

Especially when we look at Alip Ba Ta's personal life, including a not adventurous person, in fact, in various reviews, he often dismissed some help from both fellow guitarists and other people. Maybe those people were annoyed with Alip's appearance, so they took the initiative to provide a guitar that they felt was suitable for their skills. Some have the initiative to help YouTube view and provide a studio for recording. But he refused all of them subtly. The point is that Alip doesn't want to change his personality, especially because he suddenly became famous.
