Everyone loves seeing a skillful guitarist on the act, whether he’s doing a professional gig or busking around the city.
Damian Salazar is the man behind the good old rock and roll sound all over the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Watch how the crowd grows bigger with every riff he plays. Damian’s 2019 jam is unforgettable as much as the song he chose to perform, the Rocky III theme song, “Eye of the Tiger.”
Damian’s 310,000 YouTube subscribers are well aware that he offers different guitar courses online.
This talented guitarist and composer from Argentina says that he expresses his feelings through guitar melodies and symphonies. Salazar loves to play covers of different genres from different decades, but his personal favorites are popular songs from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s.
“The Universe is infinite,” says Damian, adding that he loves music because “vibrations make us feel something supernatural.”
Damian is the kind of guy who loves playing outside, surrounded by people who enjoy good music. He explains that busking is a form of rehearsal for him, and he loves making his audience happy.
Much to his joy, this huge Maradona fan has been nicknamed the “Diego Maradona of the guitar.”
We checked out Damian’s other videos, and there’s no doubt that the guy knows his way around the fretboard.
From Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” to Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart,” you’ll find it all on Damian’s YouTube page.
Salazar even played with The Scorpions—he was the lead guitar on their 2018 concert in Germany and his amazing final guitar solo left everyone speechless!
We’re guessing that you know that you’re doing things right when you get an invitation from The Scorpions.
Way to go Damian! Dreams came true for the Argentinian talented guitar player, and it’s a huge inspiration to everyone.
Damian always mentions that he enjoys improvising with different playing techniques, and he’s teaching them all via his online courses.
The guy is a faster player than most rock group guitarists we know of, and yet he’s humble enough to play on the streets for free.
Making people happy is food for his soul, and Damian has repeated that sentence over and over again. Interestingly, as soon as he begins to play, people start behaving as if something has hypnotized them. People who were passing by had to stop in their tracks to check him out. From one note to another, the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, and you can see that both younger and older people equally enjoy Salazar’s music.
“Eye of the Tiger” may be almost four decades old, but the freshness Damian brings out sounds phenomenal.
He reminds us why this song was such a huge hit, and the arrangement he does is pure art. You can hear that Damian is improvising a lot, without losing any of the original song’s charm. If that’s not a real guitar pro, we don’t know what is!
An older man in orange street listens to Damien’s performance in awe—the senior doesn’t even blink, that’s how amazed he is!
We now understand what it means to draw joy from people’s happiness. Seeing that man’s happiness is heartwarming, and it proves that music makes the world a better place. The video got almost a million YouTube views, but it deserves so many more!
Technically speaking, Damian is an unbelievably good guitarist, but it’s his passion that makes him different than any other musician.
It’s written all over his face, and the way he enjoys music is priceless. Keep up the good work Damien! We’ll keep up with your progress.
