Young guitar player

[Ed62]

I just happened to find this kid when I did a search for Buddy Guy, who had him on his show. I'm posting a link to a video (without Guy) when the kid was 8 years old, but there are others when he was even younger. Enjoy. Then do a search on youtube, using his name. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HHoO3JHnn3Q

Wow that little kid rocks! THanks for the link!

I don't think I could do that even after eight adult years...

Remarkable, extraordinary talent! Wonder how old he was when he first picked up a guitar?

[crokett]

that is really really good, especially for someone as young as him.

They said he began lessons at 3 years of age.

5 years and he plays like that????

I tried for 3 years and gave up. (That's why surgery was out for me.)

Thanks for the link Ed.

Here he is at age 6. I'm speechless.

Not bad!

That reminds me: Anyone caught 21-year old Tal Wilkenfeld playing the bass for Jeff Beck at the cross roads festival? Unbelievable! The YouToube audio is lousy, was much better the other day on PBS.

I like the one with Buddy Guy behind him. He says he will stand behind him and get him on Leno and/or Letterman. The Kid has talent at the guitar.

Unfortunately, since he is so young, he will learn what the blues are about though.

Yeah, we just hope it doesn't come from putting stuff in his body that doesn't belong there. That seems to be a major problem for musicians and others in the limelight. There are better ways to learn the "Blues".

That kids amazing! Sings well too! I'd think he were good if he were 38...
