Kid shreds at NAMM - Page 2

I don't think he will be tired and quit. This kid has always looked inspired. he smiles in most of the videos. You don't do that if you don't like what you're doing.

Yeah I don't think he will quit either. But it's only a matter of time before he gets bored of everything and moves on to jazz fusion.. haha

He may not have any original material, but he doesn't need to have original material to impress me. He's obviously more dedicated than I am and for that he gets my respect.

wonderful??

Unreal.

The kid is phenomenal... He definitely makes me look like a chump on guitar!
Thanks for sharing this Dave

Lakeflower · 03-09-2010, 05:10 PM

He's awesome! Now i'm about to sell all my guitars and start playing the maraccas. End of story...

lets not play any games here, this kid isnt going to have a girlfriend for a loooooong time!

Oh really??? Then, don't watch this.

JohnIce · 03-09-2010, 05:55 PM

I'm a songwriter above anything, and I get bored really easily by shred. However, when I was this guy's age, I didn't write very good songs, and I didn't play as well as him either.

So the notion that a kid at that age should have both amazing chops AND be able to write compelling music, is a bit unrealistic. Sure, some kids are just all around amazing musicians, but it's still a very tall order.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of you were bedroom wanking long before you started writing serious music. This kid has every right to do the same thing.

I only, just now, realized how that actually came off...

Bedroom wanking in this case = practicing guitar. But I assume you all thought the same thing... right?

Or did you just let us in on the secret behind your tight right hand, Dave?

Cheesebuiscut · 03-09-2010, 06:32 PM

I'm wankidextrous.

Sadly enough I didn't even mildly think of it in any way but playing guitar until you said it.

Ckackley · 03-09-2010, 06:41 PM

The kids awesome. Way better at technical playing than I'll probably ever be.
There's a kid local to me that is a complete genius at shredding. He's a huge Randy Rhoads fanatic and can play every solo perfectly. I see him playing guitars at the local guitar shop here. The only problem comes in when someone throws a drum beat or a click at him or he tries to jam with someone. He crumples and falls to pieces. It's a shame really , though I'm sure with time he'll get it together.

Ok, i guess i save some money for NOT buyin any maraccas, eh?

...., I hate kids like this who make me feel shitty. WELL, time to practice -_-

Andromalia · 03-09-2010, 07:06 PM

I don't see what's wrong in playing other people's pieces. Maybe he's not a composer, so what.
Isaac Stern didn't write any piece of music that I know of. He "just" spent his life playing Mozart, Beethoven etc and is widely acclaimed as one of the best violin players of the 20th century.

Wish I played like that kid, likely too late for me now with work schedule, family life etc.

Very compelling argument. Guitar seems to be the only instrument where people almost demand that you be a competent songwriter as well as musician. You can get by on almost any other instrument for a life time never writing a single note of original music yourself and people won't think any less of you for it, but if you're a guitarist, you're pretty much expected to be a closet composer as well.

Having said that... DAMN, kid has chops!

SweepsAllDay · 03-09-2010, 07:43 PM

Anyone saying something bad about this kid is most likely riddled with jealousy. You can't deny how amazing it is to see such technical prowess at such a young age.

Well yeah man. Why else do you think people wig out when they see a guy with a guitar walking down the street? They wouldn't do that shit if the guy had a trombone that is for sure.

Modern bands brought the guitar in to the mainstream spot light, and set it apart from more classy instruments like the piano. For instance, Jimi hendrix and jimi page took the guitar and made it rebellious and sexy. They also made some of the most memorable songs of their time.

As a result of that, you have to step up your game more than other people who play other instruments. Yeah it is kinda lame, but I'm down though. Guitar is probably the funnest thing ever, and like i said before people FREAK OUT when they see you with one. You know how people say guitar gets you laid? Yeah man. The second you take the guitar from its modern sexstrument pedestal and bring it to a classical setting, all of that cool rockstar stuff goes with it.

NickBen · 03-09-2010, 08:26 PM

Wow awesome vid...thanks! That kid rips

Found this one...at 1:36 and at 4:48 the epic begins lol

I've NEVER gotten lady-props for being a guitarist, even though I'm definitely not a classical type player. .... me.

Have you played at a party for a bunch of drunk bitches? I haven't, but I'd imagine that would be a great way to go about it. lol
