The guitarist in the clip is Ben Woods, who has been featured on GuitarWorld.com in the past[1].
Woods is a true master flamenco guitarist and innovator. Best known for his unique flamenco-metal style, he plays tons of music and guitar festivals, plus clinics and shows around the world. Woods’ acoustic arrangements of rock/metal/surf/flamenco material add an interesting spin.
The clip was uploaded by [2]Cordoba Guitars[3], and it happens to highlight the company's popular 55FCE models.
The cover stays fairly true to the original recording's thrash roots; Woods even replicates Marty Friedman's bridge guitar solo when introducing the song's second half. Enjoy!
