Kid shreds at NAMM - Page 3

poopyalligator · 03-09-2010, 08:53 PM

that kid is ridiculously good for his age. I wish i learned it early.

Charles · 03-09-2010, 10:41 PM

Pretty inspiring stuff. Yes, he may not write any of his own music, but who the hell cares? Nothing's made me want to practice so hard in a long time.

Thanks for the vid, OP.

Well in that case I would be glad.

Anton is a very talented kid, and it's still to soon to tell whether he has the composition ability to match or not. I most certainly don't look at a kid with well nurtured technique and immediatelly expect to see the next W.A.Mozart!

He's still young, and gathering a very solid array of technical resources, so let's see how his ability to make music matches his chops as he matures.

Same here man. haha. He should follow suit with shawn lane, greg howe, and chris poland and throw down some jazz fusion. Seein that kid jam on some jazz would make my day. Not only that, but imagine how brutal his hybrid picking licks would be in that sort of context

sunbasket · 06-10-2010, 10:03 AM

I don't think he'll burn out, but I hope he gets some time to just be a normal kid as well.

I wonder how his friendships with classmates at school are. He must be a bit alienated, albeit in a good way. "this child is special"... and to be honest I bet it hasn't helped him get any more sweethearts than any other kid. At that age, in the eyes of a potential sweetheart, a cool jacket / cool older brother = virtuosic shredding ability. Imagine if he had a cool jacket too...

And I'm sure at least once he reaches high school he won't get picked on as if he were prodigious at the piano, or insanely good at the oboe. I mean, c'mon, this is guitar, coolest instrument around!

That's what got me started song writing.

I'll never forget the first song I wrote, "Scotty Fell For a Lesbian"

But seriously, this kid's insane. I wish I could shred like him. Let's hope he becomes as good of a songwriter as he is guitar player

I don't hate the world or am sad about a relationship and I still like to play BFMV sometimes

Or well, I do think that the world is kind of ....ed up and that people these days generally aren't all that nice. But later I feel like it's become a little bit better on the latter part

These were my exact thoughts when I watched him playing PG stuff. There's no creativity or emotion there. The kid's got chops, but nothing musically that sets him apart from everyone else.

maliciousteve · 06-10-2010, 01:36 PM

Fantastic technique. Little guy could play most of us on this board under the table, so to speak.

I look forward to hearing some songs from him though.

otop · 06-10-2010, 01:47 PM

Pfff this is all a lie.. He dosent age.. Just look theres no difference from the video of when he was 8 till 11. All this wizardry is making me quite sick.. Guy is probably in his 30s

OmertaDave · 06-10-2010, 01:47 PM

Seeing that really does make me wish I picked up the guitar a lot earlier.

chucknorrishred · 06-10-2010, 02:24 PM

that was awful

This like a thousand times over.

SerratedSkies · 06-10-2010, 03:30 PM

How big is the closet his parents keep him in all day and night? Does he defecate in there?

More importantly, does he know what theory actually means?

Part of me is jealous, and part of me wants to call protective services.

Exactly!
He can probably play every piece in the world, but if he cant write a good song\solo or have a interesting improvisation then he's a boring player who's essence is just playing fast just like michael angelo, farreri etc..

Dragonfly · 06-10-2010, 04:25 PM

That man at 2:05 looks like.. oh ....,, I'm never gonna outplay this kid,

And that's a bit what I'm afraid of myself :\

Coming from personal experience, amazing ability isn't as high on a girl's list as learning/knowing songs she likes. (This includes a LOT of John Mayer and Dave Matthews

)

Or playing in a band. If you play in a band, you could play the cowbell and get chicks (well, chicks LOVE cowbellers, so that's a bad example

)

Excalibur · 06-11-2010, 07:37 AM

Pretty impressive.

Now let's see him do a I-IV-V progression and sing along to it.
