He already said in one of the Tedx talks that he is not the best guitarist in the world. He is just lucky by having his video going viral.

It takes years of loneliness to get that kind of fluidity in your right hand. J/k this guy is just talented hands down

[thedoughouse]

I love when musicians can hear a song and then play it right away... That's incredible Talent

After this “Gratitude” song in 2011, Amin Toofani’s first album came out on April 26, 2018, called “Otoño Verde.” This album contains 4 songs: La Flamenca, El Monte Claro, Orfeo Negro, and Otoño Verde.
He had 2 companies and was VP of Strategic Relations at the NASA-based singularity university.

Hi is Middle Eastern, originally Persian/ Iranian background, that’s why you hear that Middle Eastern tune and melody

8:30 he played so good that the guitar caught on fire

I remember 20 odd years ago in Barcelona, witnessing a similar performance of a flamenco guitarist and the emotional response of the audience was exactly the same and totally overwhelming. It is an experience that remains with me today .

My grandfather (85) entertained us for many years around the fire with his guitar. I could watch this guy go for ever.

Toofani means Stormy in Farsi. Quite appropriate name in terms of his technique. Zendeh bashi Aziz

I found Amin Toofani's this video suddenly while listening Indian music 4-5 years back. Very well & fantastically he played. Picking up peak, beating guitar side by side and sudden stop & start. Immediately downloaded video and added to my music list.

6:35 "OK, so he's better than me." I like your reaction style! All about the music, not your own ego. Your brief attempts to reproduce his playing were illuminating for a non-guitarist like me.

This performance was incredible. Sometimes I think musicians care too much about instrument chops and all these stupid little details and their tone and stuff. Music is a performance art. It was an inspiring performance. He totally owned it.

[maxkelter]

Flamenco guitarists are just known for playing hard and fast. It's their style. Very grabby full sound. Some persons don't like that way, or sound. I do think he could play any style very easily, with no real difficult transitioning. Talented and 👍 .

Middle Eastern's music always sounds magical... Luv it

[homiepr]

The dynamics on that performance are amazing. Soft to hard and back

[blackerbatman]

The fact he found time for that with his studies at Harvard is impressive enough.

[lfa]

It blew up not because he's the best, simply because the song is Beautiful

[jcorona]

This is very simple to play. I just played it myself… I pressed the play button and there, played it.

Dude loves his guitar and loves sharing the same excitement so learn to love the mistakes he has. Those flaws you sometimes find in music can be the thing that reminds you of how human the artist is.

[aliabbasmoghadam]

He is Iranian 😅 And they are so good at music... honestly Im in love with persian music❤️
