Re: Check out this kid

superb stuff,
thanks for this link.
I went on to watching more of the tune he plays. makes a few mistakes on the mission impossible tune but hey, who cares?
more than words.......splendid.
I would think he has a future playing guitar if he has not already got one just now

Re: Check out this kid

Please tell me he is not totally self-taught.  That would be just too much to bear - I hope there is a proud teacher somewhere who can claim some partial credit for this young man's ability.

Absolutely inspiring (and also a little bit scary).

Re: Check out this kid

This kid is definitely amazing. He plays all sorts of stuff including Andy Mckee, Thomas Leeb, and Tommy Emmanuel. He's actually performed with Tommy Emmanuel (check his youtube profile for Blue Moon) and apparently has close connections to Thomas Leeb (the inscription on his guitar is by Thomas Leeb).

Check out his profile on YT, quite interesting... especially for a 12 yr old...
