SHREDDING - SWEET CHILD O' MINE - JAMES BELL ( YGOTY )

[DMCmotobiker]

2:11 Looks like Jimmy Page on the live Stairway to Heaven "TSRTS" solo! :) BTW: Nice cover man!

[BeanieBeth98]

Stick him and Yuto Miyazawa in a room and that room would explode.

[111Buckethead]

This is awesome man! seriously the first song i heard was your winning song one , now im hooked apsolutly amazing!

[everyoneisgayy]

Dude James! you rock man...seriously you're amazing. My friend sent me this link and I can't stop watching it because I can tell you really love what you do...not too many like you these days. Just subscribed to your channel and I can't wait to see you do some more cool stuff.

It'd be really cool to see you do some Randy Rhoads stuff, the way you play reminds me of him a little bit. Anyway, I'm sure you're going to go on to be great! Keep it up man!

[MusicGirl20112]

I JUst Love a GOOD STUDENT !!! Keep Rocking 

[MusicGirl20112]

James Keep IT UP ok YOu will blow them away in a few more years and remember do not get the Big Head as far as making It JUST BE YOUR SELF and you will go Far !!

Rhoads )----->

[heavyisAok]

you make me proud to own the same hendrix t-shirt as you

[ThExWhItExHeNdRiX]

Damn!!!!!!! Like this if u thought he was gonna suck at the beginning but u were blown away!!

[TheFurbyLibera]

Amazing, simply amazing... You're incredibly gifted. Keep up the wonderful work...

[justusdanehower]

Absolutely amazing. One of my favorite songs and you nailed it. Can you play Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughn. That is the best guitar song in my opinion. Keep it up your going places.

[mrizziebizzie]

Damn brilliant dude! Really impressive!

[HTD12]

you wont know me but i went ravensmead primary same as u. ur ACE @ playing gutar, i liked you in the last school poformance i did @ primary. (BugsyMalone) - from james. my mum Diana.

[jamsearch]

Excellent!!

[MarshallStackLP]

Bloody brilliant man. I normally get annoyed by seeing young kid guitarist doing big shows because quite frankly a lot of them sound pretty naff! Yeah they have the speed and shredding down but they lack so much feel and quite often there vibrato just sounds appalling. You on the other hand, you are much much more mature. You let loose occasionally and make it sound brilliant and i love your vibrato! There is no doubt youll be a god in the future. How many hours do you practice a day?

[mapexdad]

@MarshallStackLP Thank you very much ! That is very nice to hear! Nowadays I try to practice alteast an hour a day but I have lots of homework from school so it is hard. thanks again James

[hudon1973]

@mapexdad An hour a day is fine really, more on some days and occasionally a day off. Time for other things in life will only make your music better.

[AMMMUSIC16]

Just amazing! looking forward to meeting you On Dec. 10th! Subscribing :) Amanda

[mapexdad]

@AMMMUSIC16 Thank you! What is happening on december the 10th?

[TheMordum]

A shame his talent is being wasted on playing shitty songs like this.

[ZombiesFan95]

Guitar hero poser.

[SammyBeniuga]

You could maturize a bit...you're looking like a pussy(no onfense) at the solo part.Expressing Wah on your mouth make your face look like shit. Im not ofensing you,please do not flame after reading this :P  Great Job on playing the guitar

[Crewedaddy]

I saw you today at Nantwich, was the last person to drop money in your case before you packed up and said I'd been playing for 40 years and was nowhere near as good. You've got the technique and it's apparent the feeling is well on its way. Will keep looking out for you

[mapexdad]

@Crewedaddy Thank you!!!!!!!! glad you think so Hope to see you again :-) :-)

[jaharris1001]

MAN !!! I AM IMPRESSED !!!! for a 13 yr old that KID RIPS !!! wow !!!! Ive been playing for 40 yrs and I only WISH I could play that sone that well !! Excellent job man !! He's got everything going for him, great stage presence, great facial expressions, great tone and timing,, keep at it dude !!!!

[mapexdad]

@jaharris1001 Thanks a lot mate! :-)

[MikaJuP]

I enjoy so much seeing people who are just bloody talented - be it guitar playing or something else. Great job, kid and keep it up! Btw, what's the guitar you're playing? First thought a Gibson but the headstock logo looks different.

[mapexdad]

@MikaJuP Thank you! It's a " Vintage" vs6 :)

[masterbeef92]

@MikaJuP looks like a vintage electric guitar. the guitar company "vintage" search in google. "vintage uk guitar" should be the first link. i am 95% sure its one of those sg's

[simbrack1195]

@MikaJuP

I'm not him obviously, but it's a Vintage VS6 :-)

[tubeyoube66]

great player too bad he is stuck playing shitty 80's music. Shred is dead

[ntsms69]

Excellent, you have worked very hard

Keep your focus, follow only the best, choose your influences wisely (Mr Coulson is an excellent mentor), maintain discipline in the practicing/playing..........

and you will enjoy!

Well done

[mkauchi]

Nice kid, nice licks!

[MusicManAllan]

only 13 and rocking out like a boss! I was impressed before the shredding happened... I wanted to be disparaging about yet another kid playing sweet child o mine but this turned out to be rather epic. Good show old bean.

[gangeli12]

Saw James today at Stafford Market Square playing Comfortably Numb. Awesome.

[mapexdad]

@gangeli12 thank you, i think i recognise you you had blueish sun glasses on and a little girl with you, thanks again Chris ,(dad)

-BOBTHEATOG

[ARocketToTheStars]

thats what happens when your mom takes steroids during pregnancy ;)

[Underpants44]

[jOrDiH123]

Dude.. this is brilliant! :D

[mapexdad]

@jOrDiH123 Thank You! :)

[shangtia]

Well done, Don't stop playing man, it becomes rusty real easy. What settings are you using to play?

[mapexdad]

@shangtia Thanks for the advice. Im using a boss me 50 on the stack setting drive and bottom on 3/4 and tone on half. Also using the rhythm pickup. Tiny bit of space span on there. Marshall 100wt Clean amp channel with bass on full . treble and mid is half way. ( roughly)

[JanPotrc]

better then slash!

[JanPotrc]

this is so fucking good! :D

[vinisolo123]

How many girl`s numbers rained on you after this bro? usauhasuha

[SOKKEHOOVED]

Best f***ing cover on youtube!

[mapexdad]

@SOKKEHOOVED haha Thanks :)

[biuemusic5]

there are a lot of young guitarists that come out and you see them play fast, but just fast. this ridiculous and amazing young lad has a FEEL you just want to listen to. you dont just want to watch him play. this is no carnival trick, this is musical. what an incredible talent. great job kid!

[mapexdad]

@biuemusic5 Thank you very much!

[D0nRidah]

you skipped the fast part, but good vibrato and technique overall ^^

[mapexdad]

@D0nRidah Thanks mate! which fast part?

[D0nRidah]

@mapexdad the harmonic minor run. But anyways, you rock !

[mapexdad]

@D0nRidah Thanks! I thought this was right! Sorry about that. Ive never listened to the solo properly. Just enough to get the idea. I do most of the song after the solo wrong I think. :)

[ArtisanTony]

Welcome kid, to a life of sex drugs and rock and roll :)

[aleksandersucharski]

you got your rock shit done, get your jazz shit done, and in a decade you will anything with anybody, whatever the urge. that was a cool solo, really! and i dig the tone a lot.

[lexxibeast1996]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­w lovin your guitar faces ;D impressive <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[thehitnote]

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

[APanterALevel]

Wow I hate this song. So many stupid kids play it over and over again, both on stereo and instruments. Dislike it I can honestly. But when the intro started I was like "Meh off to a good start", then saw you were really into channeling like Satriani with the faces, then HOLY SHITBALLS I JUST GOT TO A SWEEP PART AND THAT WAS AMAZING"!
