Fear Of The Dark - Iron Maiden - Amazing Street Version - Cover by Damian Salazar

[@theaxlman3321]

At this stage, his hands and guitar are just an extension of his mind. The music he thinks, is simply reproduced. Brilliant!!

[@johnwhiteman7483]

Like. And can I add to this? The word AWE means something vastly more

[@johnwhiteman7483]

Also God or Higher Self is awe inspiring. when we click with our higher self it is awe inspiring because how do you accomplish that? click with H Self I mean

[@zhu4ih]

very accurate statement!

[@herrvonundzug.4817]

Well said!

[@raymondsarvarian9074]

This talent should be performing for millions It’s so unfair for this genius to be performing for 20/30 people on the street, and what is so amazing that he dose not care he still jams with full heart and soul. This kid needs a chance

[@saschadiestelow8368]

410.000 Follower. QR Code. He´s not unknown, i guess. Street Performing could be his favorite art to play for the People..........but i absolute agree with your Opinion. This Talent must be seen. He deserve it 👍

[@C4rL72]

sign him up, anyone, id pay good money to see him

[@ryanjames8403]

Absolutely. I have stumbled upon this video and haven't seen any others of his yet, but my god. To know your instrument and equipment so we'll. To be so comfortable and fluid. This man is a master, and I so hope he is doing well in life. So much respect for this.

[@tmst2199]

This is pure, unbridled joy and natural talent!

Is it just me or is YT on fire these days?

[@Japanese_Made_Easy_Podcast]

If I came across Damian playing I wouldn't be able to walk away. As long as he was playing I'd be there watching. Crazy good.

[@nathanmurphy4374]

This is a godlike performance. The fact that he's out on the street playing like this is incredible. He should be on a stage with a massive audience.

[@Paul-nv3mc]

I keep wondering when he is going to stop making midi bits and start playing the song?

[@Paul-nv3mc]

@@NoumenonAndPhenomenon it doesn't sound like a cover. That's what I. Trying to say. Sure, he has chops, he's a good guitar player. But it's labeled as a cover song. It sounds like 7mins of general midi bits, and loops.

[@larsheihei3683]

Yet he doesn't need that. Imagine that.

[@ALC713]

The most important audience members on the street are his parents or grandparents to his immediate left.

[@maurocrovatto2872]

Fantastik 😊

[@billmcfadden9010]

This guys needs to be signed NOW!!! Metal needs shredders again! Jason Becker and Criss Olivia would be proud. Amazing!!🤘🤘

[@bff6434]

Signed for what? To be another slave to the satanic industry

[@krusher74]

he has albums out, go buy them.

[@ShadowlordDio]

SCORPIONS and ROGER WATERS already hired him to play with them because they discovered his talent. he already traveled with Scorpions. People don't know much. google it

[@billmcfadden9010]

I never heard of him so take that into consideration before jumping down my fucking throat

[@Rasyamee]

Jason Becker

[@mperchic]

Uff, I know that feeling, when You are totally in Your own Zone... Time stops, nothing else matters but Your joy of playing what You love...

[@johnrussell3196]

I adored this song in 1992 when I was a kid and this guy just deleted 32 years of ageing with this rendition. Thank you for a stunning performance.

[@Jay-D049]

It's not everyday you see a guitarist rocking a Jason Becker numbers guitar and that guitar is the reason why I tuned into this video. Legendary artist signature and legendary playing man. Kudos!

[@JOY_BOY_OP]

This Jason Becker guitar is ❤️. Also I would literally choke out of anxiety. He is too powerful.

[@Fallub]

I got massive EVH vibes seeing this incredible musician at work. Amazing performance.

[@trentsteele1986]

Flipping light speed and flipping rocking. Surely this guy is from a different dimension the one pure rock n roll.

[@spadedaman4958]

This is what it means to play guitar without even thinking. Hats of dude.

[@bernieabdul2528]

This guy needs a band and a tour. Amazing performance.

[@TAGSlays]

No. He couldn't handle it. There is a reason he is street performing. Just leave it.

[@rbclima]

I can't get enough of this guy! Blazing fast chops, so much precision and feeling... amazing!

[@elpresidente8730]

After 50 years of practicing I stumble upon this guy and it makes me think I should just give up but he also inspires me to improve. Damian is a remarkable guitarist by any measure, seldom do you see such passion as he puts into his playing.

[@dzaijn]

Why would you give up what you love man? Keep being you, you rock just as hard and the planet is just as much yours as it is anybody elses!

[@edwinmorse6615]

Welcome to my world brother Randy Rhoads Dimebag

[@stevebaldwin1635]

How can people just stroll past without watching? You’d be lucky to see anything this good ever again…

[@VioletDeliriums]

i think because for many there is more to music than "look how great they play" by whatever standard you use to judge it.

[@stringbean3442]

He is truly amazing and the performance has allot of soul but sadly not everyone would see the beauty of his art, in truth we all do this take something as simple as nature, there is so much going on and its so beautiful but we dont even notice it as we go about our day wasting our precious time rushing around like fools, i rate beauty is everywhere if you only stop to look.

[@omarlozano372]

One of the best covers that I’ve seen in years. Way to go Damian. Excellent performance. On Point.

[@kiron19official]

Wow fantastic. The Best Band played by this magician of guitar.

[@waszpawel]

As a guitarist myself (of course no way near this class), I wonder why I had tears in my eyes watching this video: 1) Is it because of the talent he has and still needs to perform on the street for "few" strangers? 2) Is it because I know I will never be as good as he is and I am sad about it? 3) or is it maybe the melody from the song that reminds of the old good days (I am not so old btw) which will never come again? hmm... or maybe all the points are true. I'm not sure... But I am sure it was awesome performance definitely worth 1 mio+ views.

[@Top-Jimmy]

💯💯

[@jordanbishop8471]

bro you can be it just takes seat time and patience, some people got lucky and got more seat time earlier. practice practice. some of these guys may be 30 years old but they have been playing 20+ years at this point, you got his bro, never stop playing, never be discouraged.

[@hakaner4066]

Slowy slowy 👍

[@Lu1sY4brudy]

He plays on the streets because he likes it, hes living very well and have hes own guitar school here in argentina. sry for my bad english

[@poppyhimbo]

it's because you kept imagining Mark Knopfler playing this and you thought of the title "Fear of The Sultans of Swing" and you realized this could actually be a thing but the rest of the world will never know about your great ideas. your welcome

[@lourencolimadacunha5493]

He's just in love with his craft. That's invaluable and therefore any audience is big enough in his view.

[@LordPrutsikas]

What an amazing guitarist, I have never seen something like this, this guy is seriously in terms of ability and technique among the 5 best guitarist on the whole planet. Perfect vibrato, perfect bending, perfect use of the whammy bar, amazing/extraordinary phrasing, super advanced sense of rhythm (he plays polyrhythms at unbelievable speed and makes it look so easy), amazing improvisational skills, amazing new ideas on the spot, PASSION etc. and he plays AMAZING solos and I am sure his solos are all 100% improvised, he doesnt memorize anything..... He has it ALL, why the heck is he not a millionaire?!

[@dogeboss9662]

Needs to join a band with other people and write songs

[@GRiZZZLe8]

Honestly, this is better than the original version not because Iron Maiden Guitarists cant play this song, BUT because this version is raw, full of passion and you can feel the hair going up. Its music made up with passion and the solos are wicked, super shredded. Yes there is an overlay of guitar and he plays the second guitar, but seeing his skil i know he also did the first layer. Wicked. i hope he will be huge on youtube
