Oh yeah - I've seen this before. He pulls offs the last string skipping arpeggio part which I've struggled with for ages. If anything, it doesn't make me want to smash up my guitar - rather makes me start wanting to practise for an extra 10 hours!
(his timing isn't perfect btw - it's flippin' good, near perfect but a bit off, i.e too fast, in parts - makes me feel a tad better hehe)

Remember... guitar is a creative outlet... not a sport.

I've seen this kid before on some other stage. Awesome Pure Gilbert

I will never be able to play like that. Never enough time to practice anymore with school in the way

Basement boy! Been practising since birth!

Awesome, I predict he will do well if he starts doing original music soon

Posted by: Carlos Carrillo Apr 3 2009, 02:46 AM

I agree! This Kid is awesome!

Makes me want to go back in time, Terminator style, and eliminate whoever initiated this arms race. I think Al Di Meola was quite fast enough, thank you. At least I can follow him emotionally.

I agree to most extent with you Jeff.

For me Eric Johnson has that best of both worlds per say. Everything thats ultra fast for more then one minute sounds like some video game music (and a really bad one

Very talented, wonder what he will be like when older?!?!!

Posted by: Jesse Apr 3 2009, 06:11 AM

He's good, altho, I wanna see if he can improvise.

Hehe, the kid is great indeed! He really practiced this a lot!

Posted by: David Wallimann Apr 3 2009, 12:53 PM

Wow!

At his age, I was playing with my Atari 2600.

Looks like I should have been playing guitar instead.

He has really put some work into that. This is what happens when your parents won't buy you a bike. I guess I could have done without my http://www.antiquewhs.com/2005015.htm and it rocked. That bike is the only thing besides my birth that has ever put me in the hospital. So yeah, I should have tried harder when I was a kid. ;-)

Posted by: ErikEklund Apr 4 2009, 08:10 AM

wow that is insane for that age

Posted by: Jesse Apr 4 2009, 08:43 AM

Hehe I got an atari 2600 2 years ago:D

Posted by: kaznie_NL Apr 4 2009, 09:08 AM

Talent ^^

Posted by: Nighthawk1 Apr 4 2009, 10:13 AM

Damn, when did this kid start out playing? When he was an embryo ?! As he is so young he must have a ultra effective way of practising. From which Gilbert album is that song???

Posted by: Artemus Apr 4 2009, 11:38 AM

It a Racer X song - Scarified. I think it's off their album Second Heat

Posted by: Ivan Mihaljevic Apr 4 2009, 09:26 PM

At his age I didn't even start playing...
He's amazing!

Posted by: Canis Apr 5 2009, 10:38 AM

Great kid! Hope he's in the game because he loves what he does, and not because his parents are making him

Anywya, for me it's just an inspiration to keep plucking away ^^

Posted by: Nighthawk1 Apr 5 2009, 11:17 AM

I don't think you'll make it that far if motivation isn't yours !

Posted by: Sollesnes Apr 5 2009, 12:39 PM

Damn. Most of the young guitarists I see on youtube that are crazy on speed, sucks on other aspects of guitar playing, making them sound bad. But this kid.. Damn.

Posted by: purple hayes Apr 6 2009, 01:29 PM

Sweet, what games did you get?

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 6 2009, 01:38 PM

I saw some clips of this kid before.If he continues to practice like this , he's got a bright future ! I'm pretty sure that his parents are ambitious about it.
