[bacustic]

[Roy (maybe)]

Oh my!!!

From Venus or something…He has been given a gift of amazement.

[pappy]

What?!? You mean not everyone can play like that?!? :eek:



Just kidding. Holy Halibut Guitarman!

WOW... that's very cool!

Can you imagine how much faster he'd be with an Anderson ;)

He missed a note. :rolleyes:

I like the last move. It just proves all these young ones are just little snot noses. Really it makes you want to sell your stuff. The kid is great. :rolleyes:

He must be studying with Paul Gilbert or one of PG's disciples because everything he played was note-for-note Gilbert. The phrasing was an uncanny mimic of Gilbert's, as well. Getting those chops and developing a strong sense of meter at that young age (I'll guess 11 or 12, not 8) will give him a strong start for developing musical concepts later on. Hopefully he doesn't get bored with it and keeps playing.

No I use the whole hand first approache that is the only way my fngers move like that and it's cheaper than finger ease. :D

I'm glad others caught that great move by the protege. They also have to figure out what to do with the bass player while this guy is shredding away: he looked dumbfounded and dumb at the same time. ;)

Okay, who's with me to pummel the little snot? ;)

I just showed this clip to my 12 year old son...now he's grabbed his guitar and started practicing.

In all seriousness, what do you say when someone does this? :confused:

[crash]

Oh, sure, he can play the fast stuff, but I bet I can smoke him on whole notes!!

:-)

[dannopelli]

Yes but does he know his analytical geometry and can he read Beowulf in the old English? Huh? Things he will really need when he grows up?

[BoraBora]

That's some crazy playing. He played Paul Gilbert's "Frenzy" note for note. :cool: I hope this kid keeps it up. I'm sure by next year he'll get tired of the rock thing and move onto some Holdsworth style legato and phrasing. :D
