Prince - Purple Rain - Cover

[@MepEffigyArts]

This is the best cover of purple rain in existence. Prince would have agreed. His spirit is in you.

[@daveplant1611]

I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and I've seen a lot of guitarists and great shows in that time so I just want to say what an absolute pleasure that was to witness, satriani and vai have nothing on you, what a great song that was, absolutely amazing, well played

[@tomekalpinski]

That is true.....

[@grimvaderdehoff8364]

FACTS this kid is amazing!

[@filipandric8069]

They dont have nothing but hundreds of their own songs😆

[@tomekalpinski]

That playng is amazing for I seen never beefor 👍👍👍

[@NilesFoster-ry9in]

I thought the same thing. Absolutely beautiful and so full of soul.

[@Omininc]

This is the most insane purple rain cover of all times, I bet Prince would be very proud of you man. Keep doing your work. Blessing to you man,

[@i.c.y.]

I was just thinking about that... prince would've been so proud of this iteration. I'm sure he's proud actually...

[@ayyWIlliamz]

You can move people with the emotion you envoke while playing.. the man in the wheelchair was wiping away tears at the end. Younger people just don't see the talent to stop and appreciate

[@christianluna6055]

So much soul. This guy deserves it all. Hope his dreams come true 🙏🏽

[@davidrockey7190]

Ya. 🗿

[@masonismyangel]

Coming from a Minnesota girl who grew up with going to concerts at paisley park…you KILLED THIS!!! I have goosebumps!!!! Wow wow wow!!!! BRAVO!!! He would have been proud to hear you play this!!!

[@fastlilpig]

I don’t even know if I have to words to describe what I just heard. The people that are walking by this kid probably do not realize the greatness before them and definitely don’t appreciate it. I mean how can you walk by when this is being performed at this level???????? WTF!! The emotion that engulfs Damian when he is playing is palpable, his guitar becomes another extension and appendage of his body. Its indescribable. I have a small collection of acoustic guitars and am now going to burn them all and just listen to this master play. Wow!!!

[@Explorer766]

Don't burn your guitars. Play them and develop with them and meld your own personality into them. Damian....wow.

[@erikkibler3466]

Maybe you need an electric guitar to realize your potential

[@michaelnorman1571]

RIP Prince! He would be proud of you dude!

[@Fwam95]

As a lifelong fan of Prince, this is easily the BEST cover version of Purple Rain. If Prince was still alive he would likely ask you to perform your cover version live on stage with him. Beautiful 🤙🏼

[@PaulRhodes420]

I've heard this song many of times in my life, but NEVER that beautiful! That was excellent!! ✌😎🎸🎶💥✨💨

[@stevemasseroni4237]

Someone who plays this legendary is destined to become a guitar legend. Screenshot this.

[@strangersound]

It's amazing how in tune with his environment he is. He can sense when people tune in walking behind him. He's just on a whole new level. So much intensity of emotion and into that amount of unreal shred is beyond anything anybody else is doing. He just blows the doors off right out of the gate. The best guitarists of all time spend their whole careers trying to achieve what this guy is doing off the cuff. There's really no words to describe what he's doing. Total wizardry of the highest order. And he doesn't even seem like he's all too concerned about it. Like he just wants to spread that energy he accesses to as many people as possible. One of those rare people that just exists to bring joy to those around him with no real strings attached.

[@hazardeur]

off the cuff? you don't have any clue how much this guy trained and honed his craft. thousands of hours upon thousands of hours. "off the cuff" lol. it might look like that but don't be fooled by it.

[@strangersound]

@@hazardeur Dude, I've played guitar for decades. Yeah, he's got an amazing set of tools in his bag, but it's still improvisation. Go watch any song he does regularly, no two takes on a song are ever the same. This song is one his standards, but he lets every take become a new thing. I guess technically, there has been preparation, so it may not have been the most accurate use of the phrase, but I came to give Damian some kind words, not argue semantics. ;)

[@stu73ke]

Well said!

[@sanguedepescador9964]

OMG... WTF IS THIS FEELING... JESUS MANNNNN... THE BEST FEELING OF ALL TIMES... AMAZING AND AMAZING TONE... IM CRYING... IN HEAVEN PRINCE VERY VERY HAPPY HEAR YOU!!! Come to ROCK IN RIO PLEASE... OMG GODDDDD... MEDINA PLEASE, BRING SALAZAR TO ROCK IN RIO TO PLAY PURPLE RAIN E VERY OTHERS SONGS...

[@erichofferber1399]

Just came across this and my heart was breaking as it was the day (and years since) Prince passed. Beautiful beyond words. Otherworldly. Jaw-dropping. Need to pull myself together now.

[@meldev16]

I 💯 percent agree..this guy's a freaking genius 🎉❤

[@kellyp9438]

There’s “overplaying” and there’s “nope…just right” when it comes to shredders, where every note is just as important as the next. I think you have an otherworldly knowledge of shredding and keeping it tasteful and beautiful and not “overplaying” you’re truly gifted and an inspiration to guitar players. Cheers!

[@brunoventura3460]

the best player i have ever seen in my whole life.

[@irmaosuber]

Você é o melhor guitarrista que eu já vi tocar em toda a minha vida!!! The best!!!

[@albafarias343]

Cuando murió Prince, no pidia escuchar este tema x otro interprete, le faltaba espíritu. Hoy mi querido Prince te está aplaudiendo. Le pusiste todo: pasion, sonidos, personalidad, y la fantasía de creer que Prince está snriendote. Me emociono saber que está canción ya tiene quien la haga vibrar de nuevo. Genio!!

[@dandelion7131]

bravo... tu comentario dice todo lo que pienso...

[@GreenChilliD]

That is one of the best tributes to a fallen star. You made me tear up man. All I could picture was the legend Prince. Well done.

[@punkywozza4330]

Dude you just went full Prince..... Always go full Prince

[@keithsolow1153]

No way in the world I could just walk by that.people so caught up in there own life's to pass up greatness like that .?

[@cdlosherodanytimefavs2988]

Literally made tears flow from my eyes. Outrageous skill. Wow! So emotional

[@litotulabing8217]

HE CAN MAKE HIS OWN RENDETION AND AMAZING QUICK ADLIB ...AMAZING!

[@PaulPeetersGuitarCovers]

wow very very nice. I will put this one in my favorites ☔

[@peterjohnston4472]

Don't you just hate wen they end up being removed from ur favourites 😂

[@litotulabing8217]

THE BEST LEAD GUITRIST IN THIS GENERATION WHO CAN PLAY ANY ROCK, SOUL, FOLK AND MANY OTHERS WITHOUT PRACTICE.

[@wwilliee]

You mean with 1000000000hours of practice?

[@hazardeur]

fool

[@pkealoha76]

He should probably take some lessons and practice. He'd be playing a song or two in no time.

[@litotulabing8217]

@@pkealoha76 you are just jealous to damian because you can't do what he can do he is really the best in this generation, do you own thing.

[@pkealoha76]

@@litotulabing8217 Sorry, I was joking. Hope I didn't offend anyone? You never know now a days. I'm truly jealous. He's the best I've heard. I'm actually purchasing his lessons. Aloha 🤙

[@jamesstreeter1774]

Probably the best cover I have ever seen. This guy should be lead guitarist in a major rock band. Incredible. He is the guitar 🎸

[@dylanfoster6816]

You're in my eyes one of the greatest guitarists ever!!!! God bless you

[@CorinaCorina-xc7yo]

Esto ya no se trata de ser un prodigio de la guitarra , sino de la pasión y sentimiento. Sos maravilloso, un artista único !!!!! Gracias Damián por regalarnos esta maravilla.

[@pamelacuccia463]

Unreal command dude. You turned that guitar into a Swiss Army knife. Mind blowing, and couldn’t have picked a better song to demonstrate the talent. The emotion price brought to that song will never be matched, but you’re the son trying to walk in the footsteps for sure
