for an 8 year old he is good but man was he sloppy, did anyone else catch that?

i hate to seem like im jelous but i really have seen better young ones jam better than he did.

dont hate me for telling the truth lol

not suprised, really. There are millions of videos showing little kids doing stuff like that.

But lol, his guitar looked HUGE on him!!! tongue.gif

Niiiiiiiiice Randy Rhoades polka dot guitar biggrin.gif

EDIT: About the bashing here, ask yourself how hard it must be to play a full size guitar with such small fingers.

This was cute !! That guitar is way to huge for him! I think he played cool and he's got a lot of time to get better at it (and grow bigger hands) smile.gif Many talented kids out there I think its a really good idea to start playing as soon as possible smile.gif

My mom found this on Yahoo! and acted like she found gold.

I thought it was simply ok.

I would much rather see a video of this kid when hes 16.

But as for now I must say in the most polite way, that it wasnt that good. cool.gif

He has a really large set of guitars for his age hahahaha I wish at his age I had three guitars!
He's not that good but think about the coordination that he has when he sings and play at the same time. That's difficult sometimes to a grown up, for a little guy of his age it's even more difficult.

That's pretty cool stuff. I wish I was that far along by age 8!! Hell I didn't start playing until I was almost 20.

Sloppy and sucks are words that don't enter into describing what a little eight year old is doing with a guitar as big as he is. Words like amazing and talented more aptly describe the video. Wait'll he can wrap his hands around the fretboard like most of us. My guess is that he'll be leaving most of us in the dust.

Indeed, I don't really see any need for anyone to bash this kid, he's great, and if he sticks to the playing he can become insanely good.

i see your point, it must be hard to play a giant guitar, but it still really isnt that good, I remember watching some other kid playing randy's yellow signature and it was twice the size of him. He was playing crazy good. Same age and height and everything. This kid isnt as good as some of the other kids on the web. I hate to say it buts its the truth. He is good, but not great...yet.

heheh, what a cool video! laugh.gif the guitar is bigger than him, but the kid rocks! Way to go kid! biggrin.gif
