Conrad Oberg (12yrs.) Jimi Hendrix Voo Doo Child!!!

[ms6284294]

Godspeed.



[pdog283]

Awesome!!!

[naturezoo]

there are 176 people who dont like this? kidding right.....got to be

[TruthLibertyNow]

I listened to this and foung it after looking for Trower, Marino, Hendrix stuff. Had to stay on this one cause it sounded so damned good. And THEN looked to see over 175 morons had the aucacity to take the effort to click "dislike." This world is fucking amazing. Obviously a lot of these worthless jerks either have something better to offer (slim chance on that, right?), or they just can't stand others' talent. Good job, kid! Stay with this.

[jazzrockblend]

Conrad blew away the 176 ppl that didn't like this vid.

[TheHarvestBand]

Stevie Ray has been reincarnated... This was 5 years ago, and he has done a lot since then, including playing at the 40th anniversary of Woodstock in '09. Great job, Dude!

[MegaMclovin18]

he's doing it Stevie's way too lol freaking amazing

[mskid68]

You kick a** man, seems 175 people with a hearing dissability, tried to listen to you play. Only reason I can see why they would hit the dislike button. I wish I had found your videos sooner. 2 thumbs up !

[andym0rand02]

dam what an insperation, right on bro!

[blackzabbathfan]

i'm twelve currently and have been taking lessons for 3 years. holy crap, conrad is so much better tham me

[LordReaper117]

i believe this kid is the reincarnation of Stevie Ray and his idol Jimi Hendrix put together its like the talent flows through him as he plays

[larstheguitarguy]

looks like the guitar hendrix burned onstage !! :O

[LordTalron]

ive come to the conclusion that conrad isnt good. hes simply the reincarnation of jimi hendrix, srv, or one of the other greats that has passed on. only way to explain his skill ;)

[henkiewessel]

hes up to become a legend

[c4662]

172 forgot to read the description before disliking

rock on dude keep it up

[vw2180]

172 dislikes??? That must be some hard core Jonas Bros fans fearing kids might find out what a real musician is.

[zodiakus80]

Look like more a 15 years old than 12. Anyway great guitarist!

[Murf111989]

amazin job

[chia412]

i guarantee would like watchong this kid

[DaVeMiDdLeToNe]

Props to this kid.. But your textile feel is a big part of guitar.. I know I play allot with my eyes closed.. so that I can listen carefully to what's going on.. But his accuracy at 12 is probably due to the fact that he is blind.. so he probably learned to read brail. so This is brail for guitar to him most likely.. Still,, I Love his use of wah and feedback.. great control with the whammy!!

[Bluesdirections]

Every generation produces one.

[MsMarissa555]

holy crud, he is blind and he's better at guitar than me

[Thralllinian]

hes like... the stevie wonder of guitar wtf

[Tenalady1980]

I think you're fantastic!!

[ledzepacbasslyn423]

we gotta jam bro im serious

[nocturnezero]

Good luck, man, he's famous.

[redslownight]

hes BLIND??!! holy snap.

[stratocaster7]

Nice one Pal, You'd be a great player at any age! My compliments to your rythm section, and that poor old Strat, it looks like its had more 'stick' than Rory's.

Keep on keepin' on. Strat 7. (Old Rock'n Roll Dog from the UK.)

[Dukabor]

ahhh....anyone who mentions "Rory" is a friend of mine...:-)

[Bonzoandthemadhatter]

gallagher?

[Dukabor]

anyone who mentions RORY...is a friend of mine...:-)

[mynameisstevo]

thats a STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN signature strat, its ment to look beat up

[RAY2424]

To tyler .I notice a lot of his stuff is on the quick side. This kid JUST wants to get so much in . His heart hasn't caught up with his fingers yet . When it does, WATCH OUT!

[Dukabor]

damn...this isn't even fair to us so called musicians......God Bless you Conrad....you are going to bring the HOUSE to us for years to come!!!!!! Can't wait!

[xWatershipDownx]

i agree zeppfan1999

[zeppfan1999]

great job

[ThatShowMD]

i would be honored to play with you!!

[kcw61]

Conrad, your awesome, keep it up and you'll be unreal. Remember to do alot of Johnny Winter, he is a great power blues slide guitarist, you could learn alot from him,,,,,keep rockin!!!!!

[TheAnonymousRep]

dude for a

1. kid

2. who is blind

this is pretty fucken amazing....i can play that song and i really love the way u make it groove

u got some phat beats going

i hope u make it!

[Dukabor]

he is going to make it...have you seen him playing with Doc Watson?...jesus...someone like Conrad comes around once every 300 years...he's this generations Mozart....

[greg2323]

I certainly hope so

[xxthedunedainxx]

this guy fucking rocks, seems like hed be fun to jam with :D

[blackzabbathfan]

what does the slight return mean i've always wondered

[arnoldvld]

it's like an encore on the album... the original Voodoo Chile is a bluessong... the slight return is this version we all know.

[jimidaman93]

And you will be the leader of a big old band.

Many people coming from miles around

To hear you play your music when the sun go down

Maybe someday your name will be in lights

Saying Conrad Oberg tonight!

[slashrocks1980]

right on

[brunorip1]

you own dude

[brunorip1]

you own

[Curi0usity0fM3]

This kid is seriously awesome!

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

HOLY SHIT MAN!!!

[kww355]

You are freakin' amazing-both on piano and guitar! Best wishes to you in your musical career-may it be long and happy!

[walkman123456789]

this is the coolest sounding music ive heard in years.

[mytube1349]

the feedback kind of hurt the performance.

Conrad must have beat the shit out of whoever the soundman was.

this is a good version, more like SRV's version imo, great song though

[tylermac64]

it seems a little faster than the original but it's still good

[bowchikawahwah1234]

its not meant to be exactly the same as an original though

[wigheadrules03]

siiiiiiiiiiiiiick : )

[pilotswife01]

Conrad, you are by far and away the best talent I have seen in a long time. I hope you never stop playing, because some day, they will say your name in the same sentence as all of your musical inspirations. Amazing!!!

[joakim456]

Damn.. This surely is impressive! Keep it up man!

btw.. the name of the song is "Voodoo Child(slight return)", not Voo Doo Child. Not very important, just thought it was worth too mention

[msheats45]

Much RESPECT to you Conrad!!! Awesome playing and enhancing Jimi's spirit. He would be proud.

[guitarhero343]

nice job :)

[guitarhero343]

doesnt matter if youre visually impared or 12, because music doesnt come from the eyes. it comes from the heart

[jarileigh]

@guitarhero343 That's a given, esp. by this, his sense of hearing may be better due to his lack of eyesight.....but that doesn't account for musical ability, and how did he get so good so young? Damn......He will go down in history with the greats if he keeps it up...no doubt

[gatormanoo5]

I haven't been on you tube for several months, I had some health issues, and my granny passed away in May, she was 92 years old and she could jam on the guitar, she grew up in the mountains, she was a character, I miss her, I am watching your video, watching it again made me feel good to see you playing your jam, rock on, keep working at it, you are awesome, I just wish my granny could have seen you play,``` keep on picking and grinning!!

[Grefintiuk]

i love jimi hendrix

[XxSrgPepperxX]

you kick ass man!

[pokey9989]

WOOOOOOO!

[sticey69]

the greatest music of all time blues and ur playin it like Stevie Ray keep it up man!

[sereniti2]

jimi wud have loved this kid.

i kno i do! keep doin wat ur doin and God bless. ur keepin real music alive

[j3venmusic]

awesome but that kid looks like he's about 14

[Chimitjanga]

Hendrix is back, but in the form of an 12 year old kid! maybe peace will be brought back to this world?

[ryemic]

this is the SRV verson lol not the jimi one but still canny damn good lad

[TheDarDar1]

Play on man...play on! RESPECT!

[XXdarktheifXX]

It was good.

But the guy guy in the back who kept going "WOOOOO" got annoying

[GaaraRules23]

YAY CONRAD!! :3 :3 YOU ROCK!!! ^_^

[snakeweirdo]

Nice, jimi's style, you almost play like he did in that age..

[SRV11111]

very good 5*

[ravenxxelitexx]

the scary part is that hes only 12! when he gets older, hes going to be so sick.

[RadC213]

inspiring

[zp4eva]

the number if stars that i gave you has not been named yet and it would taek ten generations of counting to get there but you have earned it

[novemberrainbygnr]

i know Jimmy is proud kid hes was looking down on you when you played it....

[gwynedd007]

yup some guitar playing,.....iv been trying to play like that for yrs....guess il have to call it a day&throw my guitar away..think il start learning to play the triangle or tamborine......great show kid,id wish you good luck but i guess you dont need no luck the way you play.

[58belvedere]

5 stars! 5 stars!! 5 stars!!! wow that was great conrad... awesome dude!!!!

[TheSkeeterNetwork]

Who wouldn't give this 5 stars?

[TheSkeeterNetwork]

absolutely amazing... has there been a show on TV about you? Because that would be a great subject for 60 minutes. Dude, you rock, most amazing thing since Hendrix.

[codyclarke1]

YOU ARE AWESOME!! damn, i wanna give you a high five!!

[Sk8nHobo]

I might cry....This was amazing for a 12 year old! Jimi would be proud.

[lebtu]

5 statrs!! Awesome!!

[gtrlvr333]

for some reason this is one of those songs that when played "right", gives me chills. of course SRV played it right. then i saw KWS play it live. and he did it "right". guess what. this kid givin me chills!!!!

[ghanes14]

Wow thats great for 12! Only difference I see changing is the voice in a couple years, it's deep now for 12yrs but once it changes ^_^.

[Verceti20]

Next Stevie Ray

or John Kay

[juffurey]

shit, this kid doesn't need youtube. he's gonna become a legend no matter what

[edish01]

respect to his father... he definitly had a hand in pushing this kid to get this good, and im sure he's going to egt a lot better

[lacika67]

great sound, the next Jeff Healey or Stevie R.V.

[proudrebel93]

HE'S AWESOME. He was down here at the Sarasota Blues Fest this year.

[cawilliams188]

@proudrebel93 heard he lives up in jacksonville or somewhere in north florida when i first heard him on wmnf 88.5 here in tampa abt 2 years ago his voice sounded so young but this kid plays well beyond his years keep jamming conrad lol i been teaching myself for 4 years and stil cant wail around like that gimmie another few years and i might be there lol

[puptentacle]

I always thought SRV had work left to do and would find a way back if it was possible. Apparently it is and he found his vessel. I'm another that will be watching his career. Incredible and thanks for being tuned into the spirit, young man.

[kingskywake]

dude he is blind

[NDGOATESP]

Sweet good fuking job!

[sublimenal23]

you can tell he plays alot by his worn guitar. damn this kid is good. and only twelve, and blind! i hope he starts writing some stuff i'd buy his albums

[Coyote10988]

dude its most likely an old strat. either way hes got talent

[navar0xnl]

It's called a relic.

[prompen3]

well both coyote10988 and navar0xnl

is wrong the guitar is not old its from the nineties and its not a relic...

actualy what happened was that the guitar was "exposed" to a blowtorch......

[stratocaster1959]

kinda sounds like stevie ray vaughan's version!! great job

[bulletkip]

looks like his guitar,too

[Davobeff]

Bloody good job!!! couldn't have done better my self.

[mt51784]

well he is a little older now and cant wait to see some new stuff but yeah gotta love SRV and anyone of his age who aspires to play the greats

[V8MeatHead]

wow that was amazing!! Nice work

[Hangman47]

You know, he isn't going to read these comments. But you he an amazing musician for twelve yrs old.

And the BLUES!!!! gotta love SRV and jimi

[muellermansr07]

AWESOME!!! 'Cept for the single person who is like WOOOOOOOOOO, when he is playing the best parts.

[d7mcd]

Conrad is my favorite guitarist in the world, since I found his videos today! As he matures, if he can write music as well as he can play....OMG!

[NickXFURY]

for a 12 year old, he is amazing

but for someone who is visually impaired like him this is amazing!

[yutube012]

who couldnt luv jimi yeah go head yall go head... baaaad!

[iwantsomthingtoeat]

-sigh-

[thebamteli]

very very good ...(from turkey)

[RetroYoungen]

I literally had chills when the first notes played... it's definitely a Vaughn influence on the song, which is awesome. Not a huge fan of the vocals, honestly, but the sound is bang on.

Keep it up kiddo, you've got a halluva lot of talent!

[sonrisingpk]

InterlochenFan

"Check out his "Little Wing".....it brought tears to my eyes."

WTF!!!!!!!!!

[XRCyrus]

he ment his video of him playing the song little wing. Which i might add was bad fucking ass, first video i saw from him all i could think was damn hes good.

[Filmpjemaker]

Dude, your are really really really good! I am too 12 almost 13 :) but you can play dude! Wonderful!

[boburtosway]

three letters. OMG!

[InterlochenFan]

He stands up next to your comment and he chops it down with the edge of his hand(s)! Play on Conrad.....I look forward to seeing you tour some day.

Check out his "Little Wing".....it brought tears to my eyes.

[theoryking1]

good

[respectthegun1]

you is gonna make it bug some day mayn, but you ahve to get your own sound, you are not a hendrix, you shouldnt be playin this

[okfireret]

you are good, but get your oun sound and play your own music. there will never be another hendrix, but you can be you. good guitar

[Skaterkyle14]

i think you forgot... hes 12!!!!!!!! when your 12 you play whatever, when your older you play what you want and make music. but that doesnt happen when your 12

[Alexandross1986]

I'm Agree ! Good

[evlin10]

[ClassicRockguitar]

[fabiojoseph]

intersting chord you play when you change at 3:42 and in the final, very personal and modern, that makes me think that you have great musicality. That is way more impressive than playing with teeth or reverse behind shounders.

[101pathfinder]

Another great example of your talent!!!!!!!

[Nitrostangs]

Hey man your an inspiration. I can't wait to see you live.

[manboy121]

this kid is 12 blind and plays voodoo child perfectly...Amazing

[xXNewt22Xx]

Jimi Hendrix Forever

[jbulandres]

i love this kid.. really is a prodigy

[cydonianman]

haha...yes this kid is awsome...working that feedback lol.

[aswhad]

by now you already know you have lots a talent, don't let it get to you,

so i just say hello and goodbye until whatever

;-)

[TheFallOfAlex]

respect

[witchingweather]

What can I say? Outstanding talent! I've just watched the video where you play the steel (tricone?) guitar and was amazed by that. When will we see you in the UK?

Julie

[arnodk]

Jimi Hendrix believed in reincarnation... Well I guess some of Hendrix is reborn in Conrad Oberg. I've never heard someone play so close to (similar as) Hendrix as Conrad - it almost sounds like Hendrix.

Well the vocal is not quite the same - yet ;)

[thepenguinsband]

its not about playing like him, but playing understanding the direction hendrix wanted it to take

[teegramsam]

great stuff well done

[samson1500]

its amazing he can play like that after only picking up the guitar 2 years ago!

[drh42357]

the kids got the vibe of the song unlike many others who try to ape hendrix.

[bstime32]

Good stuff man, you need a half stack behind you though, get rid of that fender combo

[ArcherTheVMan]

amen.

[morningsuper]

great stuff

[jennychristfighter]

You probably cant read this but you are an inspiration!

[theoslayer]

Thats an example of what a man can do :).Also reminds me Vai xD

[ArcherTheVMan]

why, exactly?

[kvhhd56]

nice job...keep posting

[mrdyethebadguy]

awesome i cant stop watching ur vids u are amazing!!!!!

[allguitarsforme]

Is it just me or did that guitar look a lot like SRV's Number one?

[gbrooks2]

You know they sell models of that guitar, right?

[expoonation]

It looks like it is a copy of it (Fender sells them) but without "SRV" on it.

[eromtiloc]

omfg... and he's blind?! damn kid, keep it up! you're awesome!

[robibm2003]

That is pretty fucking impressive. Good for him!

[devslady]

hey conrad what do u use to get that srv sound??

[69fenderstrat]

really good

I enjoyed it a lot

thanks don't ever stop playing what ever you do

[zazouzorro]

from little acorns mighty oaks grow,good on you son.done in the true spirit of jimi,i bet he looked down and felt really proud.keep on.

[xeronubs]

good job dude
