Wow, that's pretty impressive. I wonder how long he had been playing.

11 years old and only started playing at 10-that kid is going to go places.You should put this up on the lounge where everyone can see it as this isn't one of the most popular forums.I would put it up but don't have the know-how.

Holy sh*t!!

That young guy has some great playing skills already, but it's his rhythmic chops that makes me want to pull all my hair out. You can teach a good student to play the notes, but you can't teach that natural feel and movement.

Outstanding..

As for the guitar, never doubt what you can do with a well sorted Squier. But this really is a case of the guitar being irrelevant. How many times are we told that it's in the hands? Case proven if you ask me.

If this lad was known to me, I'd GIVE him any one of the guitars in my modest collection and still think that i was the lucky one for being able to give a helping hand to a very exciting talent. He needs it more than I do. Never mind this 3/4 size malarkey - he badly needs to be playing a full size instrument now.

I'm with ya. And grateful that there are some kids actually playing instruments instead of sampling others music. Way too little help is provided to the the talented kids out there.

What can you say? superb Jazz playing at any age.

Looked at some of his other videos. He's got many styles covered. I love the fact that his high end Les Paul has a Sponge Bob sticker on it - says it all really! And in another, he plays great blues on one of those God awful upside down Flying Vs and can hardly see around it while it's poking him in the face..

Once he's developed an emotional comittment into the music he plays, there'll be no stopping him. Unless he gets bored and buys a Nintendo..

It these wonder kids with their devastating and effortless technical abilities that are the real successors to guitar techincal transitionists like Vai, Holdsworth, pick your own etc. They are the ones that will take guitar playing to the next place and leave us all looking like Bert Weedon and Hank Marvin (no offence meant).

I watch stuff like this, and suspect that what I'm watching is not necessarily evidence of skill. Maybe what I'm actually seeing is human evolution at work.. :?

Pretty deep stuff for this forum, :lol:
But very true. Kids today might not be able to spell, but when they find something they love... 9 years old? Dang!

C'mon, don't be hatin' on the reverse V. Easily, easily, easily one of Gibson's very best sounding guitars. I've got one and a ton of other axes (well over a hundered and have had over a thousand over the past 40 years) and that reverse V just kills everything else that has humbuckers in it. I'm not a humbucker fan at all, but it has more useful tone than 99% of the other Gibsons out there.

As far as the kid goes, he'll do well, no doubt. Already a LOT more interesting to listen to than Mayer is. lol

I feel you. I've made that drive many times. You don't want to combine that stretch of road and Mayer. Recipe for disaster.

LMFAO!

If Merck could figure out how to synthesize those two realities, they'd have the world's next miracle tranquilizer.

(better than 'ludes, even!)

Of course, Beatty to Tonopah via US95 while grooving to Yanni is just as "stimulating"......

:lol:
