12 year old guitarist shredding!! - Craig Pirtle

[Scythecleff]

Pretty good ... Im 14 must say u dont beat me... But u do know how to even out the sound so it will sound good on camera I dont post many vids on youtube though only have one with me playing guitar and its a tutorial on yellow ledbetter by pearl jam I shred to but I cant figure out hpw to even out sound on camera phone so I habe trouble with vids but keep it up man

[superuberuber]

obviously 20

[guitarlover19671]

man awesome shredding, how long u been playing?

[highintel]

Wow..That was like looking back in time!!! Keep it up kid ;)

[CDMC1404]

as my guitar teacher would say,

"Do it again on clean"

[ToastIsIntense]

Nothing against the kid, great stuff at a young age, but i can only imagine the god i would be now if i could have had his equipment that that age...

[RyanOFelt]

@ToastIsIntense lol shut the hell up, equipment does not a musician make.

[JensenASJ]

shit sound but a lot of potential

[HuberttXXX17]

Man you are fucking cool shredder for now (at your current age) but remember about music! I love shredding but composing and playing really good hit notes are still more important as I look on my guitar idols like Jason Becker, Michael Romeo, Glenn Tipton, John Petrucci, Jeff Loomis and many many more they always have been great composers even if they can't play as fast as you my friend. Music is music! We should left fastest playing to Asians and show them that we still can make better music :)

[petewat98]

I can tell that you love Jason Becker, just by the way you play :P

[anthonysaurus656]

How come in earlier videos, it says he's 14? Fail age lie is fail.

[PerpetualMoon]

@anthonysaurus656

This video was made almost exactly 2 years ago when I was 12. This is the first youtube vid. I posted. So, you sir, aren't making any sense. In fact I am making more than sense/cents, I am making a dollar :D lol

[MW2fatcats]

@PerpetualMoon That's a good joke, and fuckin awesome shredding!

[xDimebladex]

holy shit dude, are you the next Jason Becker?

[connacoustic]

wow thats some real talent right there. keep it up

[Buddlebot]

Mediocre, shouldn't lie about age..

[xDimebladex]

@Buddlebot i don't know if his age is correct.

but medicore? please show me doing this stuff, then we'll talk further^^

[6maniac6metal6]

you look like a skinny young George Lynch! Great shred vid, don't know if I've ever seen anyone use their right hand thumb for overhand tapping!

[FlightyKanat]

Great job dude.No offense but you need to get rid of that hair that makes u look like a girl in my opinion ^^

Anyways great job.

[NailsForDinner]

YEAH! That was awesome! You kick ass man!

[ayjjjj]

[jackson18t]

[chickenslide21]

[fattasticvoyage]

seems a little sped up to me....lol.....

[Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

i will give him this though, at least he's got his pinky moving. been playing almost 5 years and just barely starting to get mine in there lol

[campkillyourself93]

speed just does not impress me

[whathappensLIVE]

same i listen the the melody

[Pr0fess0rSasquatch]

@campkillyourself93 agreed, it's not about how fast you play it's how much of yourself you put into it. sorry kid, it looks cool but a lot of it just sounds like blah to me : / but then i guess that's why i'm not a shredder lol. but you're still young, get a few years of life experience and you'll have plenty of soul to make those licks real tasty like haha

[pattacam]

[lashguitarist]

nice ..how long u play the guitar?

[metalheadshredder1]

lol

[metalheadshredder1]

well i just acted cocky for fun, in real life im not cocky bout my playing

[musicmaniac434]

plz answer my how did you get sucha speed ???i am now tring that but it doesnt go well i can play fast iwth hammer ons and pull off kinda slash style but cant shreed like this how you do it???

[GoldenAndreas]

thats not sweep tapping, sweep doesnt mean fast lil guy, but k not bad

btw. u can leave ur 'showeffects' away, its not really hard and it just takes senceless time to play notes by taking them from up- and downside

[metalheadshredder1]

not really try sweeping with two notes per string with hammering-on

and to tap the other note on one of the string. Thats what he is doing and what i do. So its not senseless. Also you should do trills or jazzy root chords after the sweep. Sweeping is not senseless.

[GoldenAndreas]

dude read at first, then talk shit, it seems that u dont even know what u write urself

im talking of so much different things: of that part where he is tapping und taps with his left hand up- and downside(at 0:40), and nobody is talking of sweeping, thats very different to what he played, he didnt even used it, so if u dont even understand what im talking bout, just shut up!

[XxfatalxdramaxX]

i'm 17 and i'm too bad u.u

xD!!

[metalheadshredder1]

im better than u and the same age

[guitarfreakeddd]

@metalheadshredder1 no ur not ive seen ur vids and you have no tone u probly just go around stalking other kids and ripping on them and being cocky

[InuTaishoMaru]

HOLY SHIT! YOUR 12!?! im not gonna lie im jealous, your gonna be the next Michael Angelo Batio (look him up if you dont know him hes awesome) can you add me if thats alright with you O_o that was epic dude

[BxWong]

@InuTaishoMaru He even does Michael's underhand then overhand technique.

[Emzo99]
