Arpeggios at the speed of light In this video I am playing with my guitar in the street as people pass by and stops to observe what I do. I am having fun and enjoying my musical performance a lot.
Thank you very much for being part of this RU-vid channel. You can contact me at the following email to purchase my ONLINE GUITAR COURSES: contactdamiansalazar@gmail.com 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The worst thing about playing an instrument is coming to the understanding that things look so much easier to the untrained eye. You'll spend a week learning a song, and when you go to show it off everyone looks on like "cool, but I mean I could do that too". This is god level, jaw dropping shit to anyone who plays, to all the non musical onlookers it's just "cool"
Syn 2nd yea it’s a shame people don’t realize the amount of effort it takes to play anything on this scale I would have pissed my pants if I seen him on the street haha 😂 he plays great!!!
Cuz Cardi B makes simplistic music that appeals to the casual listener. This takes years of music knowledge and practice to comprehend. I love this shredding and it is fun to play on guitar, but to the casual listener they can’t comprehend it.
I started crying while watching this kid/gentleman. Yngwie malmstrom needs to pick him up off the street and mentor him in person. I have been drumming in studio and stage for over 30 years and would be proud and honored to take him in a studio with me. I've seen alot and played with alot of great players and this kid/gentleman is by far one of the best guitar players I have seen in years.
You have Yngwie in very good consideration personality wise. Too bad he is the opposite he's the type of person who would be looking for flaws in this dude's playing or saying how he invented this style or other ego-driven bs.
I get how this happens, but I don't actually experience it. Never had a pillow that absorbs lower temperatures so when you put your head on the side that wasn't warmed by your head you feel the difference. Still got this though
I know right, Kevin?...I gave up trying to be a shredder years ago..just happy to play Rock and blues now without having to worry about being lightening fast because it ain't gonna happen for me...
@@Tony-om1vg Just practice scales, modes and arpeggios to a metronome and keep increasing the speed. Then just keep jamming to backing tracks once you have the basics down. Shredding at first is easy, just know how modes and scales work together, but then writing a great solo while implementing shredding is much harder.
Stevie T still exists? the last video I saw from him was arranging the Talent programs with autotune.. the one that says something like "Chinchillas are dying because you play bad" or something. haha, that was so funny.
I figured this was just gonna be some dude sweep picking minor arpeggios and I am so amazed and just blown away I’ve never heard such fast and clean and fluent play in my life I can’t get over how precise this is with him moving this fast is unbelievable
@Andre McGoo have you ever considered the fact that he has shinigami eyes and can read people's thoughts as opposed to age? you seem like the self-righteous one now
You are absolutely correct, its ashame that the want to bees will comment and not praise! He is very skilled!! Lot's of practice! My hats off to this guy!!!!!
These people have no idea how crazy talented this dude is. Most of those notes are so clean and precise and they're just looking at him like paint is drying
Actually no. He’s put ton of hours to it. Do not undervalue his skills by saying he’s born with them he has put the time in and that is to be impressed by and what he should be credited for, time, consistency and training hard.
@@impactedasp7328 like Tommy Emmanuel, hours, get that. I too put hours in & more would be better but skill set, mind, dexterity, additional gifts that I don't possess. That's my take.
Keith Panzer maybe you should seek for someone to learn that mindset from and copy that way of thinking to apply that to your practice, there’s always a way.
@@impactedasp7328 thanks. I'm a pretty good guitarist, better bassist. A, "jack of all trades, master of none" person, rounded out. Works for me. Appreciate the musician and feedback.
@rambo rando I’m sorry you think in such a conformist way! I really don’t know where you got that information from but you certainly improve via practicing.
Incredible speed and technique..the appregios, the tapped harmonics, this is the sort of thing that would have sent Mike shrapnel running with a record contract in the late eighties....all the influences are there, ynqwie, van Halen...
I watched people walk by and barely look at this guy with amazement. You can tell by watching the sheeple stumble by not one of them has ever dedicated themselves to learning anything to this degree. They can keep their fucking dollars he already wins.
@@tatutexx one hour times one million........he is incredible.....YT is an awesome platform for super musicians to get noticed. It's just a shame about the rest of their money grabbing Pinocchio attitudes.
@Nedd Flanders depends on your circumstances, he may be totally homeless and as we know , not alot of people will pay attention to you...But yeah ,see what your saying
...Got to Wonder ?? If any ‘Smart’ Record Producer is AabdR Agent tried Signing Him Up to a Contract and starting some kind of ‘SuperGroup’ with Him; this Here WILL make Mucho $$$ -Hint, Hint Ozzy... or Even a Zak Wilde Super Group (Think about It) ~🤔
@@reesebene6082 I'd see that shit. Haven't been to a great concert in awhile, even without all this beer virus stuff. But who's on bass? I'm a bass player, just wondering who you'd choose. I wouldn't mind seeing Justin Chancellor in there.
Matt Jones -Great Question; There’s quite a Few Out there... Maybe Mark T. from Metallica or even Jason (before Mark) even Maybe Wolfie VanHalen (Only b/c He is really a musical Prodigy, and is finishing and Created his first Solo Project. -where He plays every Instrument on the damn thing). Even the Drums with tutorials and Advise from his talented Uncle... the One and Only Mr Alex VH. or YOU go and Play 👍
You don't need to play to know or appreciate how good this guy is. I don't play but I've been listening to music all my life and I'm over 60. This guy is truly amazing!
His movement on the fretboard is like what I did when I was little and wanted to shred, but had no clue what I was doing, but his movements are fully intentional.This man has put blood sweat and tears, literally into guitar and I praise him for that.
Seriously, look at that spot on the bridge where he rests his pinky, he's played enough to wear completely through the paint. Theres a dent where the unfinished wood underneath is showing.
I'm thinking, this guy is not famous, but look at some of the nursery rhyme clowns who are millionaires because they are encouraged by a toxic industry that needs to debase the human spirit. This is upside down world, and that guy needs to be filling stadiums.
@Gonçalo Martinez he's more articulate than me. You are right, but I envy how his fingers do what he tells them to do, and not sorta, like in my case. He's flying around different keys and he doesn't even need to think about what he's doing. It's not my style of music, but he has it nailed.
joder... esta obra de arte la abre visto como unas 40 veces... y cada vez que la pongo se me vuelven a poner los pelos de punta como si fuera la primera vez que la aya escuchado... por desgracia si DAMIAN SALAZAR en vez de tener un nombre ESPAÑOL y ser ARGENTINO fuera de los estados unidos, ya sería un guitarrista reconocido a nivel mundial, y seria un hombre que tranquilamente viviría bien y que se podría ganar la vida tocando con su guitarra électrica y llenando teatros enteros.. en fin para mi este tipo tan solamente mirando este vídeo y viendo la gran destreza que tiene sin equivocarse ni una so maldita vez en una de las notas.... en fin en los años 80 este hombre hubiera sido una leyenda absoluta.... hubiera sido sin duda el mejor guitarrista del mundo... pero ustedes de verdad han visto como toca este hombre? hace fácil lo difícil, parece que la guitarra sea el... este hombre debe de sentir la música como el resto de todos los mortales que lo estamos viendo no nos podemos ni imaginar, xDxD en fin si dios algún día decidiera bajar del cosmos y empezara a tocar una guitarra electrica y nos mostrara a todos lo que es tener nivel de verdad, y que por hay decidiera el señor DAMIAN retarle a un duelo... desde luego que el señor DAMIAN, lo meteria al divino en serios y graves problemas... xDxD en fin saludos de un español que alucina siempre cuando mira esta so jodida obra de arte. te pido por favor que nos vuelvas a hacer otra vez esta cover habiendo ya pasado 8 años desde que hiciste esta. QUEREMOS VER TODOS UNA REPETICIÓN EXACTA DE ESTA OBRA DE ARTE, PERO 8 AÑOS DESPUÉS DDD
This should prove a point to all of us musicians in the world,there's tons of great musicians and artists out there will never be recognized or heard. So we have to stop arguing about who's the best.we should be doing it purely for the love of music
Hhaa no way dude beethovn play multi rhythm n meter beside tat he write staff notation of his own so pls don cmpare dis kid wit God betoven,n as fr dis kind of playin shreding check out rusty cooly or sm one like tat
Seth Hansen Haha a lot of people dont know the moonlight sonata had more than one movement I applaud you however more impressive than Beethoven could be Liszt imo
dude plays guitar like how i imagine angels around Christ's throne room and who have been playing 100,000 years! you familiar with John McLaughlin, guitar legend starting in the 70's? i saw him in Raleigh at the New Universe jazz guitar festival at Lincoln Theater. i managed to catch him before he reentered into the building after the show. his was the last of 14 autographs i got on my strat pickguard, beginning with Jimmy Herring and his brothers Bob and Joe [deceased]. anyway, i told Mr. McLaughlin i could imagine his music being played in the throne room of God. he looked at me, smiled, and gave me a soul brother hug! [chest palm-shake/other arm hug]. lol that made my year 8}. anyway, this guy here ab.so.lute.ly ROCKS!!!
What the fuck are you talking about? You listen to music with your ears not with your eyes. This guy is completely shredding it and it's extremely hard to look away from your fretboard when your soloing at that speed especially doing arppegios. What do you expect him to do fucking jumping jacks and smile like a clown? Get out of here loser.
Because sheeple are fed the same old styles that are linked to products and services that make money and exclude the need for thought - they take their wallets out in larger numbers for this. Virtuoso guitar playing like this does not appeal to the masses because they cannot appreciate it and so will not spend the money on baseball hats, Nike, etc, etc so as to try to be like them. Art does not make as much money as fashion, it is sadly that simple.
I remember rap music, you remember it? It used to be all about socio-political commentary, living in poverty, gang culture, the police.. it was raw and became a healthy and socially enriching way of expressing one's strife instead of becoming a gang-banger. Now it's just some bloke standin on a bin doing a pose, telling you how white he's become and complaining that his gold shoes are too heavy.
Holy Crap! This dude is amazing. I mean he’s like next level. Take it from a guy who’s been playing guitar for 40 years. He looks young too... you have somebody like Taylor Swift who’s making trillions of dollars with not a whole lot of talent and then someone like this who has to sit on the street and plays for change. True example of life being unfair
To an extent yes. But to learn scales and arpeggios uncleanly doesn't take a whole lot of skill. "Shredding" or jerking off has its places but for almost 6 mins it gets old you cal only sweep pick and shit for so long before it gets old. He is very promising though
Taylor swifts talent level was never the reason she makes as much as she does. She has the look, then they write the music for her to play. Probably show her how also. Talent is only so marketable.
They didn't really appreciate longhair in the 1500's, either. Now it's a college course. All our kind is ahead of their time. High IQ= Alienated. This kid probably dreams in advanced particle physics.
@@chiefstryder4538 --- uncleanly? I think he was a bit nervous and not used to the crowd. I was impressed by not just his rhythm, but his refusal to let a slip up stop him. He's probably played sets that would blow this one away MANY TIMES.
Hes prolly as good as he is because he got to hear that shit. I think people are gunna get better. Underground music grts more popular cuz the internet. Not that underground makes you better but they tend to be lol. A lot to look forward to
@Siôn Tate I mean recording and selling millions of albums, making live performances with tons of gear for thousands of people, being chased on the streets by sweeties to sign autographs, collecting Ferraris... All the stuff 80s guitarplyers were doing.

@@GuitarlosCarlos Dude, please press the ''Caps Lock'' button on your keyboard, albeit you're shouting at me and that's not correct. I'm sorry you didn't get my words. I don't say that the dude is not a proficient guitarist, I just say that the golden era of guitar shredding remained in the great 1980s - nowadays unfortunately the mass culture is quite different and unfortunately such good guitarplayers play on the street or for 50 people, when some decades ago such a good guitarist would probably fill stadiums and live like a king. P.S. I know what I'm talking about - I'm a guitarplayer with more than 30 years of experience and I lived it all.
Someone commented and said how can this guy not be rich and famous . But he is rich and famous because he carries a gift most people can never aquire he's already won
To the people who say he has no feel, look at the way he moves with the guitar, every movement of his head, every grimace. He isn't a robot and he most definitely is feeling what he's playing
He doesn't really have feel ; his head jus looks like its spazzing out but the playing is pretty mad. See Jimi Hendrix on Hey Joe live and then you will know feel on guitar.
@@joshualessore7652 if you have seen it then you should know that he is playing like a robot, thats jus shredding and neoclassical all speed and no feel.
I sort of agree with most people here, you have to play guitar even a little bit to understand why you should be amazed by it. The clarity, tone and skills are all there and he plays very well. But most people even people who play forget one thing when it comes to playing any musical instrument. You must be capable of creating something completely original. This guy's solo seems to be original and is why I think he may one day make it, its the originality and creativity that make people famous. I haven't even seen a comment of anyone even noticing that his picking style has wore a hole into the bare wood where his pinky rests. That hole gives you an idea of just how much work he put into playing. How wore a damn hole through lacquer, a veneer cap and bare wood. Again great playing and execution especially in front of people.
I totally agree. His soloing was not only incredibly fast and technical, but also had a unique sound; I have never heard anything like this. I am a guitar player myself and I’ve been playing every day for over 6 years. Yet I would give anything to play half as well as this guy. He is truly a master.
If by "original" you refer to the melody, he's playing over a base of a song called "el sueño de la gitana" by an argentinian band called Rata Blanca. You should totally check that out
@@christianstewart9987 Same as the other guy, you should check the song "el sueño de la gitana" by the argentinian banda "rata blanca". That's the base melody of the video improvisation
@@facundofalconi3127 Yeah I am referring to the improvisation of how he is using a melodic solo he created over the top of the base song. I didn't know who the base song was by but I didn't think it was him and just did what I also like to do and play over songs I like or know to exercise on the spot improv. So pretty much the originality of the solo itself. I'll have to check the original backing song out, thanks for letting me know who it was.
Bro, I’ve been around in metal and I have NEVER seen someone so fucking creative and technically adept simultaneously. Keep going man, you are outstanding and an inspiration to all of us.
I like your energy but there are too many guitar virtuosos to even begin. This dude is a great player and it's an uncontrolled environment but he messed up on a lot of parts, like 0:23 he messed up that entire section. We don't have to put every advanced player on a guitar god pedestal.
LOL!! HAHAHAHA!! People have NOOOO idea what TALENT/GIFTS are or what it means to truly commit to mastering an instrument! .. this guy is young, a prodigy, and soo humble!! This guy completely blows my mind!! Breathtakingly nutty on guitar...WOW... WOW.. oh yeah.. VERY well said! lol.
The reaction will be one of global wailing when Jesus returns. The time of fighting and mocking Him will be at an end and the time for judgment will have arrived. The time for repentance and willing submission to the Son will have passed. Now a time for eternal sorrows has come: Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
@@wlr3302imaginary forms of revenge appeal greatly to those who need to compensate for resentment for the inability to find an outlet of action in the real world.
@@kingomhearts4 Yeah, I've been playing guitar for 8 years but I know I'll never be this good because I also spend way too much time on video games and have to work for 40-50 hours a week lol
