he was decent...for his age? fabulous. he looked like he was 14.

it would probably take me at least to get that down, if i memorized it. reading it off of a sheet (like i think he was doing) would take me longer. memorizing stuff is easier, i guess. but even then, that solo in the 4th minute was a doozy.

I have a friend though, who would play the pants off of him, me and pretty much anyone else. this kid is gifted....and i just converted him to linux lol. but yeah. he's great. thanks for the video. I hadnt seen that, i usually don't frequent youtube.

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZTziYivOLA&NR this guy's style is a lot harder to copy. i never could for the life of me get stuff like that down. but i love music like that. Kaki king plays similar stuff, she's amazingly talented as well

lol to each his own, i guess. i liked her first album better because it was more unpolished. ever since she got more famous, she's been a little glossed over with more makeup, being better dressed, and a more engineered album.

are you using firefox? it didnt work so well for me in opera but firefox was fine.

thats odd...i guess you miss out. you can check out the second link i posted, it's fairly similar. I like the first guy better though. though i got the impression the second guy was just kinda not concentrating and was a better player in general.

nice avatar btw.

I seriously don't think he's playing that. I think he's playing ALONG with it, but seriously, there are a few places where it's obvious he isn't playing that.

That second video is awesome, sounds a lot like Ani Difranco's style with a little bit of Buckethead thrown in the mix ;)

but I still can't get the first one to load.

The second guy worked so at least i saw the song. I guess its technically good but its not my style of guitar playing ha. I might be the only guitarist ever that hates the sound of sweeping, call me weird, whatever.

youtube is just finnicky sometimes. it won't load for me right now either. although i haven't watched the video, i'd be willing to bet that it's yet another kid who can play something really awesome, but couldn't write-a-decent-tune his way out of a paper bag.

=-O really?? i wasnt watching it most of the time so i mustve missed it lol. just listening. wow. ripoffs. i kinda wanna learn how to play that. and if you cant get the first one to roll, scroll down on the right hand side where there are related videos....it shows up a couple of times. There's "Canon in D" by freakfred or osmething, and another one at the bottom..
