[Linvalay]

@EDDlEMEDUZA

he most likely has a screen reader XP. His computer can read your post for him :) A friend of mine has one for her mac, it's pretty slick.

excellent guitar playing my friend! I'm legally blind and i'm having a very difficult time; not with the guitar playing, i'm good at that. It's reading the music i'm having issues with....notes are to small haha. You are my hero, there aren't many visually impaired/ blind guitarists out there.

keep on rockin!

[kwbarr1]

I thought he was deaf TUNE YO GITAR

[munchy040]

@kwbarr1 hey dude go suck a dick have some respect

[CitySkateboards]

What happens if a blind man takes acid?...

[universalJok3r]

@CitySkateboards he hears a double rainbow...

[munchy040]

@CitySkateboards he ends up like your mum

[FeNsTa]

nice technique man, has soul...

[MRCALIfornyay]

its easier for the blind because their hearing and the guy looks evil his eyes.....god bless him :D

[wq15]

I don't see what the big deal is, I could play this with my eyes closed.

[sabbysigns]

@wq15 But could YOU really start off with your eyes closed? Learning with no sense of sight? i doubt that, and me too. This guy is amazing, true talent :)

[munchy040]

@wq15 wheres your vid then with your eyes closed

[Car5onsmama12]

dude that is good for being blind from birth and that is good wish you good luck

[Bodomterror696969]

this is amazing man how long he been playing?

[kellyisvlogging]

too bad he doesn't have better tone... probly mostly due to the recording mic though... he is amazing

[scrapkillax2]

Superhuman. 

[christophcooneyoff]

I think this guy is a symbol of the determination we should show once in our lives.

[FamGuitarist]

[SFHudson2]

Dude, this is so old. Maybe you should post another video. You've gotten so much better.

Oh and Blake is my best friend and he said he should get a dollar for every view. :)

[Guitar4life97]

[infernoburrito]

Take THAT, Ray Charles!

[Embasolkilluminati]

[megeljaranilla]

[williep7613]

@SFHudson2 Ikr



[travlyte]

your music is there....nurture your other self..you will know where to go from there

[mikedee83]

stick to guitar hero buddy...

[FrettedFreak]

JERK

10 Bucks he way better than you

[maxw311murder]

Think about how many great guitarists have to concentrate on watching the fretboard when they play. This kid can shred amazingly and purely from instinct.

Awesome.

[pntballfreek]

truly phenomenal....boy has a serious God given talent

[Kidstylez7]

its amazing how he learned guitar i mean because he's so good,

im twelve years old nd i play guitar but not as good as him

it sounds good with the guy playing the acoustic in the background

[weeweegordy]

Yo you guys have to leave me alone it was a fucking joke get over it

YES he's an awesome guitarist

YES he obviously needed help making and getting this video on youtube

I knew that from the start

[prodigyofsin333]

reminds me of the movie roadhouse

[jamesdk09]

WOW!

[weeweegordy]

FAKE

howd he upload this?

[madmike1]

You can hear people in the backround and people holding the cam. Did you ever consider they was his freinds and they uploaded it for him?

[weeweegordy]

Im always replying to these comments but it never gets posted anyways.. yea i was kidding guys lol thought it was kinda funny...

[BENDERclan1]

@_@ IDIOT ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[hyspaniol030]

some friend hel him... nerd...

good video dude...u play so good....

how did you learn to play?

sorry for my english...is not my language

[fsant6]

the people that camera you so dammm sorry O.o

[csskid]

@weeweegordy

you're a dumb ass

the fact that he cannot upload it himself has abolutely nothing to do with the fact that he can play so well. one of these greatest classical guitarists of all time was blind as well.

[Ben17635]

sum body ells done it u dumb ass

[teethandtalons]

and stevie wonder looks at the piano...

[somebassplayer580]

I cant imagine how difficult it would be to learn guitar blind...

Great job man. You rock like no other

[DEADLOCKED187]

[tylermizzan]

[csnoob02]

[Aye0303]

[Ubervlad]

playing blind is actually not that hard. but learning blind - that's a pain in the ass. definitely deserves respect.

[ThePissedOffSamurai]

dude hes not blind check out this guys channel you can see vids of this guy all normal n shit

[LaetaGemina]

The guitarist is blind, the poster is not. Look Blake Hardin up, and find his channel, genius.

[italianboy2k7]

he is brilliant

[upsida]

wow! keep on rocking.

[DevilBoyAZ]

You can see that he dosent look at his guitar. Alot of guitarists would have done that. :D Tell him that he is a great guitarist.

[LackoJam]

that totally trips me out ..being blind from birth dude ..he has no idea what anything looks like ..like a butterfly ..or a flower a tree .. the only things he knows is the sounds of stuff ..shit dude if i was blind i think a guitar would be the only thing that would keep me sane.. thats a trip out ..more power to ya man i wish you the best of luck

[RollinNolan92]

@LackoJam you wish him the  best of luck. he can't read that.

[LackoJam]

@RollinNolan92 lmao someone can read it for him

[xbrakx]

@LackoJam I wonder how it was back in the day like before Jesus times When people probably just walked over them and they didnt have nothing

[MrTheCircle]

@LackoJam u realize that he cant read wat u wrote right

[XB0XFR34K]

@MrTheCircle

his parents can tell him stupid

[MrTheCircle]

@XB0XFR34K it was a joke come on

[jeanseb36]

[EliteNinjaMaster27]

[LumiRock]

[Metal0ftw666]

[OlympicSong]

Hi ! Great n amazing. Cheers !

[greentree24]

This is inspiring.He only uses his ears. Very very good! Props to Blake Hardin.

[Zebanamana]

And touch, his sense of touch would be amazing

[blindboyblake]

Omg you guys are morons. And once again yes i can read everything you say lol. And haha a no tv? No movies? Well that would just be boring wouldn't it :P. To bad i do all of that stuff :P.

[WaLTeRDeFiNiS]

Being blind means you can't get distracted by TV, movies, puzzle games, Playstation, sports (most of them, watching them), chicks (looking at 'em), porn... so you got to do something that's based on touch when you get home after special blind school, or school in general... dam, i'd be a kick ass guitarist if i were blind... but no way, dude... see ya

[meluaz]

being blind probably means that you have the potential to become amazing cause your eyes distract you from alot of things when you play

[alfie987654321]

hes got my guitar :D rg7321's are amazin !

[yozayo]

Good stuff man

my uncles blind to he plays guitar aswell

[drawnacrol]

Wow,thats pretty damn awesome,

disabled,blind or even missing fingers some guitarists can amaze

[YourLastWordsYLW]

Awesome

[Namnrax]

da fuken shit...even i can play with my eyes closed..it aint a talent.

shitty guitar sound.

dont reply to my message or ur a fag

[jacprc]

Ok, that must of course mean im gay coz im replying to your comment! U say u can play with ur eyes closed, most people can, me included, but we have all looked at the fret board/strings etc. whilst learning. He hasnt, if u read it, he was blind from birth. I would like to see u learn a song from nothing with absolutely no vision at all. No looking at tabs or the guitar, u couldn't. Stop picking on this guy just to make yourself look big. He has way more talent then you could ever hope for.

[iGuittar]

i would much rather be able to hear than see

[gnrfreak1015]

was that all improved?? i give him props, that takes a hell of alot of talent.

[shittyfuck]

fucking cool !

[vincentsro]

absolutely amazing im verry impressed

[JTNSPproductions]

with music the kid will be able so see anything that he can keep on doing what you love and always keep trying, good for you dude

[gw90isback]

music can make you see! Keep it up.

[mathiasen0]

you are amazing how do you do that you must be better than eddie van halen you got a new fan

[R0ckDevil]

if its a song can someone tell me what song is it?

[sp5878c]

the song is called No bobys fool by Michael Charles. This amazing person is playing Michaels song in instrumental.

[R0ckDevil]

is this a composition or a song?

[ciferliver17]

i think he dont know ho patrick swayze looks

[lagringulo]

kick ass dude you look like patrick suaze

[yankerstanker]

You really have amazing talent brother. An inspiration to all.

[bdevelik]

he couldnt read what u say..

[chXxOMERTAxX]

really?

way to be a fag

[JamOnMyBum]

amazing! =D

this reminds me of street fighter for some reason lol

[pikminn]

Dude i seriously want more... Tell him to make more vids plz...

[anbublackopps123]

nah he is blind i know him in real life.

Hes just that damn good so why hate on people?

Bet you wish you could play like that and im pretty sure you cant, the bad thing is you can see so stfu homo. Blake you rule!

-eddie-

[Famouspimp23]

Awesome dude.

[metallicaandjustice1]

Fucking awesome dude. Apparently people who are blind tend to compensate with their other senses such as their hearing ect so blind musicians are awesome that might just be a myth though. I supose it does make sense anyway your awesome

[Boy10Dio]

wow that was epic dude.

[KadenceST]

Much respect. You've inspired me. Rock on! Lol.

[victoryseieren]

You can see that he's blind, if you just look at his head and bodylanguage.

Great playing.

[AmericanIdolQueen84]

I dont care if your blind or not your awesome, I'd just like to get to know u better.

[blindboyblake]

balloonx5 what makes you think i'm not blind? yes people can emeorize notes without looking but hopefully you don't think people would just make up the blind thing lol. Oh and before you ask how i use the computer read my post thats already on this vid

[balloonx5]

hes not blind. a ton of ppl can just memorize notes without looking

[blindguardian33]

balloonx5 is a douche. This guy is great at guitar, and I highly doubt someone would go through the trouble of memorising notes and pretending that he's blind.

[himyouknowhim]

he is blind i know him in real life i could kick your ass at anything hell he can even hear you move so im beting he can even kick your ass literaly

[balloonx5]

maybe thts true but u probably cant kick my ass

[63falcondude]

i can

[blindboyblake]

Lol well i might be blind but i can still get on the computer and read your posts. ha ha ha ha ha. I use a screen reading program to do so if your wondering.

[guitar87tommy]

YOUR GOOD KID

[DemonicAmalgamation]

why do we comment? HE'S BLIND!!!!!
