Is this guy the best guitarist in the world then? Did he win the 2023 guitar world championship or something? I mean, he's good definitely, much better than me but best in the world is a bit of a tall claim.
I love it when that older gentleman, who was clearly enjoying the performance, came back several times to leave a donation. I bet he drained all his friends of every last coin. Well done, Miguel has HUGE talent and deserves to be paid commensurately.
Those kids in the background are a perfect representation of their generation, an amazing performance going on if front of them and they are just trying to document how they were there without actually 'being there'. But for real guy...Miguel. You are breathtaking.
I so agree with your comment. Mobile phones as useful as they are, have become the bane of society. It has spawned this hole new generation of self obsessed, attention seeking people. People feel the need to document, photograph and film every inch of their day. Put the phones down and enjoy the moment. 'Being there' is a far better experience than watching it through a phone screen. Memories in the heart. Hats off to the older guy (pre mobile phone generation) appreciated this fine piece of music and talent!
I've been watching this guy for a number of years and he just takes it to another level Everytime you think he couldn't do any better.... believe me he's mind boggling .
It’s not as if he’s playing to an audience in a concert hall, he’s playing for an audience for TH-cam, look at how many hits he gets, being on TH-cam puts him on the world stage. And eventually lots of money in his bank account....
The modern teenager. Literally 2 feet from something very special and they are looking at a screen the entire time. There is no hope, they have no appreciation for this man.
I can't believe there isn't a bigger crowd there with their mouth dropped open to the ground. People walking in every direction around him not even looking at them. People on cell phones like zombies. One of these people bought a guitar and just sat down and tried to play it they would see how phenomenal this guy is right on dude keep it up
See a bunch of grannies and grandpas appreciating and oblivious kids instagramming in the background .. just hope Miguel’s the torch to pass on this amazing genre to the next generation to the next generation
Lost track of how many times I watched this, still blows my mind...every single time..jawdropping performance...beast mode...God level..alien skilled guitar player...H O L Y C O W!!!!
I'm amazed that people can just stroll by whilst a rock anthem is blasting out. Great playing. It's at Oxford Circus in London. I'm pretty sure it's a snow machine and not real snow. Keep them coming my friend.
I'm more impressed that it snowing got to be freezing yet he plays on like a god, ,flawless, my hands would be all over the place, great talent,young man!!
I saw it , I heard it and I still can't believe it . The absolute best of the best . I would put this talented fellow against ANY ONE ! Bravo ! A blend of born talent inter fused with hard work .
Wowwwwwwwwwwwww I think that Miguel Montalban is one of the best guitarists in the world. this guy speaks through his guitar and lets his soul hear. Look"" youngsters. THIS IS REAL MUSIC
I wish I could put money in your hat. But, instead I send you much gratitude and respect from sunny CA. Keep it up bud. You got it. Whatever it is, you have it. Lucky you.
My favorite thing about this video is the older dude in the blue jacket who was applauding at the end came up and gave money 4 separate times throughout the song. 1:18, 3:29, 4:30, 5:20
so I was there at London back in the summer and I was at the tube on ma way to Oxford st so I went out at Tottenham Court Road station and on my way up I heard this dude playing shine on for Pink Floyed and I was amazed to the bone to come back to my country surfing the youtube to find him here oh damn
It's fascinating to me seeing gifted people and what seems impossible to some but effertless to a small handful ..makes me proud even thou hes a stranger to me 😌
I don't know how people can just walk past without acknowledging this, it would make me late for work. I mean he's not average, you can hear he's bloody good.
I'm legit the guy in blue that keeps tipping him... this kid woulda had all my money and I woulda been parked there all night watching this talent perform and cheering as if I was at a concert!! These people walking by missed out!! I appreciate your skill!! Thank u for sharing your talent with us that stop and pay attention!!
Just downloaded his album “live and loud”.its brilliant.got one of the best versions of sultans of swing I have ever heard.what a star.more please miguel🎸🤟🏼
I must have watched this a dozen times; yet on this warm spring night, I freaking noticed how beautiful the snow was. I wondered if his hands were cold. I can't get enuff of MM--- come to the USA!!
Miguel is just awesome! I have seen him playing in London streets few times. When ever I have the chance to see him in my way, I don't care if I will late for my meetings. I will listen to him!!!
Miguel Montalban showed up on my FB today (Dire Straits tune)...I'm seriously hooked on listening to this gifted man (did he come out of the womb playing guitar???)!!! After an onslaught of manufactured music these last few decades, it is beyond refreshing to actually hear a truly passionate, inspiring and gifted artist! Thank you Miquel❣❣❣
Ok, I'm just now seeing this one. What an incredible job. I love the way you put your own style in with original licks and switching pickups back and forth. That PRS is beautiful and sounds awesome! Just outstanding!
This is about the 5th time watching this video. I went over and listened to the Guns and Roses version and a few other covers. Bzzzzt! Not even close. OMG, Miguel. You must be one of the most talented guitarists out there--and with your own style. I hope you get all the recognition and fame and accolades and riches you deserve. I can't even imagine the number of hours you have to put in to become the master that you are.. whew!
Don't worry about listening to the best guitarist in the world young people...take a selfie and text
Great guitar... great player.. Fuck Rap..
It's almost as if you can appreciate music without looking at the person who's playing it or something.
Deaf zombies is the title of my next song 😎😅
Today’s youth = Pure Idiot’s
Is this guy the best guitarist in the world then? Did he win the 2023 guitar world championship or something? I mean, he's good definitely, much better than me but best in the world is a bit of a tall claim.
...how cool is it to play guitar while it's snowing...pretty damn cool...
I love it when that older gentleman, who was clearly enjoying the performance, came back several times to leave a donation. I bet he drained all his friends of every last coin. Well done, Miguel has HUGE talent and deserves to be paid commensurately.
That old guy gave him money like 4 or 5 times in a row ..he deserves it ..i wish there was more generous people like that guy
❤️
He probably relived the good ole days of free-spirited lifestyles and rock n roll.
Those kids in the background are a perfect representation of their generation, an amazing performance going on if front of them and they are just trying to document how they were there without actually 'being there'.
But for real guy...Miguel. You are breathtaking.
I so agree with your comment. Mobile phones as useful as they are, have become the bane of society. It has spawned this hole new generation of self obsessed, attention seeking people. People feel the need to document, photograph and film every inch of their day.

Hats off to the older guy (pre mobile phone generation) appreciated this fine piece of music and talent!
Lady Gamer exactly what I was thinking
@Amanda Brown no, you're breathtaking
I am from their generation, dont put all in one bag please. For me he is so talented. Amazing performance 🤯
Got in one .
So sad how talent is not recognized in the street...
It's sad that the street doesn't recognize great talent and music..
Just wait & see now, 2022
I've been watching this guy for a number of years and he just takes it to another level Everytime you think he couldn't do any better.... believe me he's mind boggling .
World class guitarist giving a superb free concert and people just 'walk on by'. Amazing.
exactly my thoughts :D i bet us two would be dancin there like omg yess freee PROFESIONAL GUITAR PLAYERR XDDD
too much cell phone
It’s not as if he’s playing to an audience in a concert hall, he’s playing for an audience for TH-cam, look at how many hits he gets, being on TH-cam puts him on the world stage. And eventually lots of money in his bank account....
By far the best version I've ever heard.
Yes we dfjo
I pspduko hi
Check out damian salazar on TH-cam
love the camera angle,Miguel playing,young teens interacting with each other,social media,the older woman,man looking on
The only guy who seems to appreciate the music is the old one who gives at least 4-5 times some money!
Seems he had the time of his life. Well done
The guy who gave twice is a true connoisseur.
hahaah my thoughts exactly!!
he gave 3 times:D
Hahaha indeed. He gave 3 times! I appreciate that guy for appreciating talent and wanting more of the good stuff.
This guy should be playing in a band. Can’t understand people passing and not stopping to enjoy the show. He’s got talent.
Agree
So on par with Joe Satriani, some of his ideas I think surpass even HIM?

Hey kid at 1:38...don't look up at the stars...you've got a star right behind you.
kids were annoying
This guy is one of the best guitarists I've seen.
I always come back to this vid when I need an energy boost.
Somebody give this guy a recording contract, absolutely love his playing!
Yes...recording contract...tour dates....
Honestly, do not know how anyone cannot love you. I am a total fan. Can listen to you play for hours.
Magic on a guitar. Unbelievable!!! Deep respect.
I will never understand why these people would walk past an amazing guitarist
The modern teenager. Literally 2 feet from something very special and they are looking at a screen the entire time. There is no hope, they have no appreciation for this man.
Sadly :(
I'm 14 and if I'd cross him on the street I would be hypnotized
@@lunaclifford there is hope. I don't mean to tar all teens with the same brush.
Took them 3 minutes to notice him smh. The hope is lost.
@@nanakveermehta7497 you can't possibly know that.
How can anybody just keep walking by this kid? All plans would be on hold for me. I know a great performance when I see one! Bravo Miguel!!!! 👏
I can't believe there isn't a bigger crowd there with their mouth dropped open to the ground.
People walking in every direction around him not even looking at them.
People on cell phones like zombies.
One of these people bought a guitar and just sat down and tried to play it they would see how phenomenal this guy is right on dude keep it up
Word's can't express... Miguel is so giving of his performances.. he's always in the zone when he plays.. awesome !!!
Listening to him as the snow falls is very surreal. This guy is the real deal.
See a bunch of grannies and grandpas appreciating and oblivious kids instagramming in the background .. just hope Miguel’s the torch to pass on this amazing genre to the next generation to the next generation
Night, lights, city, snow and a great guitar solo playing around...damn too perfect.
Lost track of how many times I watched this, still blows my mind...every single time..jawdropping performance...beast mode...God level..alien skilled guitar player...H O L Y C O W!!!!
I'm amazed that people can just stroll by whilst a rock anthem is blasting out. Great playing. It's at Oxford Circus in London. I'm pretty sure it's a snow machine and not real snow. Keep them coming my friend.
One of the best guitar Players wordwide.
Ye he's good
He changed the solo... which is a mark of an artist....!
Un verdadero monstruo de la guitarra.
Cuanto me gustaría verte en concierto.!!!!
Wow! What a tasteful player. Not many can play that fast with so much feel. This kid is the real deal.
I'm more impressed that it snowing got to be freezing yet he plays on like a god, ,flawless, my hands would be all over the place, great talent,young man!!
I can't stop watching this video! Somebody help me to get out of this addiction!
I saw it , I heard it and I still can't believe it . The absolute best of the best . I would put this talented fellow against ANY ONE ! Bravo ! A blend of born talent inter fused with hard work .
Just found this insane guitarist tonight - now searching for more of his playing. I'm hooked! Why hasn't some band snatched up this talented man?
Wowwwwwwwwwwwww I think that Miguel Montalban is one of the best guitarists in the world. this guy speaks through his guitar and lets his soul hear. Look"" youngsters. THIS IS REAL MUSIC
My favourite song musicians never get recognition it’s a shame this lad is amazing ❤️
I'm awed every time I hear Miguel Montalban.
Could easily listen to him play all day long, love it,talent on the streets.
Nice riffin' MM...the video was actually pretty cool to watch with the snow coming down, the people and cars rushing by..exciting.
How can soulless people just pass Miguel by..He is an amazingly talented guitarist. .
FANTASTIC AND UNREAL!!!!!
And so many people that dont care around...
It breaks my heart....
I wish I could put money in your hat. But, instead I send you much gratitude and respect from sunny CA. Keep it up bud. You got it. Whatever it is, you have it. Lucky you.
Wow,that was just out of this world,100% performance,awesome guitar playing,what a talent !!
My favorite thing about this video is the older dude in the blue jacket who was applauding at the end came up and gave money 4 separate times throughout the song. 1:18, 3:29, 4:30, 5:20
ArchAngelSlayer1 I was just thinking the same thing! That's how you know you're good. That guy was like, "Take my money!!" haha
Yo Men (1:21...3:31...4:32...4:50...5.29) We are together!!! (I WAS FIRST!!!)
How somebody could walk past this hearing this mans incredible skills with a guitar and not at least stop and appreciate it for a moment is beyond me.
Excellent solo improvisation ... great street entertainment...
so I was there at London back in the summer and I was at the tube on ma way to Oxford st so I went out at Tottenham Court Road station and on my way up I heard this dude playing shine on for Pink Floyed and I was amazed to the bone to come back to my country surfing the youtube to find him here oh damn
Watched all his videos unreal guitarist
The exposure of the complexity of this piece is a revelation! Love it!
Lost for words . This is the .....oh my , out of this world guitar works.
Cold, Snowy Streets, and still Carries on.... A Master at Work
Very gifted and obviously lots of hard work gone in,If I heard this in the street would stay hours and soak up the performance
I have watched/listened about 10 times - love it every time. Makes it seem so EASY but it's obviously HARD. You rip!
Absolutely mindblowing..could watch you all day..you don't learn this stuff..your born with this talent..good on ya..!!
It's fascinating to me seeing gifted people and what seems impossible to some but effertless to a small handful ..makes me proud even thou hes a stranger to me 😌
I'm sure he's spent countless years practicing to get where he is today. It's 10% talent and 90% hard work.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!
I'm impressed just by his finger movement in the cold weather!
I don't know how people can just walk past without acknowledging this, it would make me late for work.
I mean he's not average, you can hear he's bloody good.
People don't how hard for a guitar player is to practice a single music.
i am guitarist and yeah..The solo is very hard
Amazing performance.
He’s got it. You can hear and see the soul when he plays.
I'm legit the guy in blue that keeps tipping him... this kid woulda had all my money and I woulda been parked there all night watching this talent perform and cheering as if I was at a concert!! These people walking by missed out!! I appreciate your skill!! Thank u for sharing your talent with us that stop and pay attention!!
Y mientras la nieve comienza a caer sobre Londres, Miguel se despacha este temazo...
Just downloaded his album “live and loud”.its brilliant.got one of the best versions of sultans of swing I have ever heard.what a star.more please miguel🎸🤟🏼
One 'Sweet child o mine' in a snowy Christmas night
Just like a set of bonfire light up the cold and dark sky
What an atmosphere！
I must have watched this a dozen times; yet on this warm spring night, I freaking noticed how beautiful the snow was. I wondered if his hands were cold.
I can't get enuff of MM--- come to the USA!!
Unreal performance,..and for free??? People don't have a clue walking by that this is pure magic happening in front of them..
Miguel is just awesome! I have seen him playing in London streets few times. When ever I have the chance to see him in my way, I don't care if I will late for my meetings. I will listen to him!!!
This is what good music is about far and in between these days
True
Out of this world performance by a visitor from space...no one plays the guitar like this alien..outworldly magnificent! Stunned and blown away!!
Check out damian salazar on TH-cam
One of the best videos on youtube....
meeegashie
Bisous 😉
I am speechless. Amazing is not enough.

S c , I just found him on FB too! I love it!!
Sarah Wolle guys amazing ))
Wow! Nailed it! My favorite so far.
What a performance!
these are moments that transcend cultural boundaries,
music is so powerful
My favorite so far, awesome setting, great passion, great audience,
Miguel Montalban showed up on my FB today (Dire Straits tune)...I'm seriously hooked on listening to this gifted man (did he come out of the womb playing guitar???)!!! After an onslaught of manufactured music these last few decades, it is beyond refreshing to actually hear a truly passionate, inspiring and gifted artist! Thank you Miquel❣❣❣
those three kids in the background never know what they are just missed, but hey! they where on facebook at that moment anyway ;)
great performance!
Unadulterated talent at it's best.pure skill,superb performance.
Did anyone notice the old man tipping 4 times?
Maybe he thought it would stop
Ok, I'm just now seeing this one. What an incredible job. I love the way you put your own style in with original licks and switching pickups back and forth. That PRS is beautiful and sounds awesome! Just outstanding!
Old man tipped half his wages, school kids staring at a screen. Modern world right there in a nutshell.
@Bishop Jaime I'm good thanks. I can still use pirate bay.
Watched so many of his video's countless times...cannot understand how much this rocks....just spectacular.
Its just on another planet of awesome....i'm dyin here.
This was mind blowing, absolutely brilliant, I would really like to hear him play sunshine of your love by cream.
Awesome guitarist!!
This is about the 5th time watching this video. I went over and listened to the Guns and Roses version and a few other covers. Bzzzzt! Not even close. OMG, Miguel. You must be one of the most talented guitarists out there--and with your own style. I hope you get all the recognition and fame and accolades and riches you deserve. I can't even imagine the number of hours you have to put in to become the master that you are.. whew!
It’s snowing 🌨 and the poor guy is out on the street. Talent like this should be holed up in recording studio doing session work on days like this.
Bravisimo!!!!! This young man is clearly channelling the spirits of all the greatest guitarists!
Hey kid at 1:38...don't look up at the stars...you've got a star right behind you.
meeegashie I see what you just did there! ! Bravo.
3:02 i just love that high note!
Off the charts Amazing musician!!! How can so many people be sleep walking by?
Miguel, you're a legend already mate. F'kn awesome.
Miguel Montalban, you rock man!
my favourite cover by you mate,you take it to another level that words can"t describe !!!!
can t stop watching last 3 min and old man's reaction. awesome.
Probably takes him back haha
Listening again on Christmas, and this video has such a Christmas vibe to it.
