[irishsetterarchie]

[vichenec]

Hey Guys What is the song??? wanna learn it!

[husain69able]

@vichenec its Viking Kong

[Glidewell1122]

kid is a wizard

[brando18guitarplyr]

it's good but srsly only because of his age. if he would be 18 this wouldn't be spectacular or anything.... just sayin'.

[NisseEricsson]

@brando18guitarplyr Ehm NO. This kid would be equally awesome if he was 18, 20, 30 or 40. I'm 18, but this little kid totally rapes me at playing guitar.

[ottomaddux]

No way is this kid only 13 -14. Whether he's 13, 14 or 30 or 40, this is so damn good, I'm in a daze. Age doesn't matter when you're that good.

Great!!!!

[fallingspears77]

his playing style reminds me of paul gilbert.

[mitchgnr]

@fallingspears77 this is a paul gilbert song. nice call :D lol

[DietGrape]

he looks like the white guy from superbad. the one that's not fat

[youaergay]

@DietGrape yer he does look like red your right lol

[Blitzbot]

@DietGrape mclovin? xD

[xEMeehanx]

rock has no requirements

[SEVENTHSON89]

fuck it, he just stole my motivation to play guitar!

[HillaryHitler]

See KIDS this is what happens when you SAY FUCK GUITAR HERO and spend countless hours playing a REAL GUITAR!

[Fendershred50]

@HillaryHitler But guitar hero is fun....

[monkeyskins666]

@HillaryHitler your not familiar with guitarherophenom then are you?

[HillaryHitler]

@monkeyskins666

YOU ARE not familiar with proper GRAMMAR.

[monkeyskins666]

@HillaryHitler that would explain the hitler in your name, grammar nazi. But what i was trying to get across to you is that the best guitar hero player in the world is also a great guitar player.

[HillaryHitler]

@monkeyskins666

I do not CARE about Guitar Queer O.

[HillaryHitler]

@monkeyskins666

Whatever you video game playing GEEK.

[bucketbotable]

damn...i will put down my guitar now. natural talent...something this kid has. im so jealous

[mrblurblur2003]

watching this kid perform is so so so much better than Justin Billaber. 

[slayerkills1]

i surprised he's not getting a blow job on the spot for playing that badass

[lastheroli]

I don't like this kind of music, but he's talented. I hope will play some more emotional song, like Neil Zaza. With this technique he could play... well

[charliemc1094]

who the fuck dresses this guy every morning.

[monskichi]

watching this kid make me think that I have a lot of homework to do

[wendalwilsonrhoads]

not bad, at all. you can tell hes a paul gilbert fan. could be a name worth remembering in the future

[sliceru]

nice watch

[PopTab]

this kid makes me wanna put my gibson down and walk away and never pick up guitar again....

[rockmaster0]

You're so great for your age. I lily lily like that tone... the crisp fits into the instrumental :D Rock on ser \m| |m/

[nitoniwatori]

He is good one around this age... i never see any kid play like this before ... haha i feel a lot of jealous i remember when i was that age i still can only strum a chord ...

[RO80T]

he really makes me want that guitar

[aljelje]

can't stop watching 2:47

[seventhsonof7sonfin]

woow fucking awesome:D im 14 years old and i have played 3 years:D and now i can play few panteras solos like walk and cowboys from hell:D but hes very crazy!!!

[772Valentina]

HOLY SHIT!! DAMN KID WHAT THE HELL?!?!! TALK ABOUT TALENT

[PabloakaChuck360]

Probably Lenin/Stalin powered!!!!

[ovelonse]

the devil son!!!!!

future guitar hero

[mememememe1980s]

cool kid. nice guitar. great playing. EPIC VIDEO/SOUND QUALITY FAILURE.

[TheBlazerfan7]

wow this kid is amazing!!

[maiky66pr]

This is good!! How about 10 yrs from now?? Hope to see him...save this clip...might be worth something in the future!!

[areswolf76]

yeheahh!!excellent bro'!!

[MrIkesimba]

His bending and vibrato is stunning!!! Amazingly mature technique for anyone, let alone a 13 year old.  Incredible!

[georgegregoriou]

man am 19 years old and i play guitar for 5 years and i think he is better than me.

i hope he will keep playing after 2-3 years

[gixxer6000]

killer kid

[nmrphy51]

i think we are seeing the reincarnation of randy rhodes

[sepita10]

1:48 :O

[chechoguitar112]

i'm afraid he can play faster than paul... i've been studying paul's technique, and this kid's awesome...holy mother of god!!

[Soldano88]

@chechoguitar112 I doubt that

[NisseEricsson]

Fucking holy shit. This guy is so fucking good I can´t explain. 13 years old and plays songs that need like 20 years of experience to play.

[bucketbotable]

god damn, already playing songs i wanted to play. whyyyyyyy

[swisseragonplayer]

cool... The only thing what this guy needs, is to learn perfect bends...

[stevezane]

@swisseragonplayer what's wrong with his bends?

[swisseragonplayer]

@stevezane hmmm, i think they're sometimes not pulled enough high (if this makes any sense in english xD )...

[Soldano88]

@swisseragonplayer Agreed,vibrato takes time as most of us know..

[skegtheegg]

@Soldano88 Agreed.

[avaantaa]

Hi! Whose is a musical composition? How is called?

[PBSabre]

@avaantaa English. Learn it.

[TheInvalidChronicles]

wheres the octaves? >.>

[highintel]

holy crap!!! Did he write that?

[Theusemm]

@highintel No, Paul Gilbert - Viking Kong

[scopaz]

why are people knocking his tone? You are listening it to it recorded from a video camera playing through your computer speakers. This is great tone.

[sterl430]

face completely melted. oh my god...

[AVFC0711]

this would sound soo good if he used a better tone

[Blader999]

gold

[eduyjm]

Perfect !

[gacktology]

The reborn Randy Rhoads ! Welcome back ...

[luistratocaster]

[LoafofCat]

i hope he can write music as well as he can play it when he gets older

[matt50210]

damn if you looked at this kid based on first impression you would never guess he could play like this. this kid is amazing

[kickflipperland12]

@matt50210 dude you no how clean he plays tht, thts amazing i think he should put it on itunes

[Godsuhn]

@matt50210 yeah! looks are surely misleading, but we'll think differentlty 5 or 6 years from now when he has long hair and a moustache. Great kid. inspirational.

[shanareed1]

Paul Gilbert's heads gonna blow when he see's this kid!!! Anton's a freakin awesome guitar player! :)

[sepita10]

1:48 - 2:30

think about it for a second, he's only 12 or 13

amazing

[Sentinel4truth]

Someone tell Paul he has a mini-me.

*pinky to mouth*

[raveefazal]

another harmonic minor shredder

[chaveznieves]

well he's obviously a neo-classical player. and that style is based strongly around harmonic minor. its nothing negative towards him, just kind of his thing

[servinyallchickens]

has he met paul gilbert in person? sure paul must be dying to meet him

[Maten123]

Probably the other way round there mate ;)

[meidenmeiden]

esa cancion es de el? o de quien es sta muii buena diganme porfavor

[chechoguitar112]

@meidenmeiden viking kong.. Paul gilbert of course...

[nemtall]

this guy Is The next big Thing ..Damm hes is amazing

[iambrian4life]

plays like van halen

[jeanseb36]

more like paul gilbert

[zbljk]

great song :D

me like it ;)

[rahbirt]

Holy crap!! He's only 13 yrs old, and he is already a total bad ass!! "Speed w/out accuracy"?? Are you kidding? He's goofing around, probably thinking about what to have for dinner. The amp is set pretty dirty, so everything sounds pretty raw. But at 13, all the rest of us losers could do with the guitar was to use it as a bobsled, at the most. This kid is awesome. He's not a rocker yet, he needs some stage experience but that'll come too...

[a7xflo]

@rahbirt and also the guitar hasnt got a neck pick up then everything sounds a bit dirty

[JonIsFrench]

@rahbirt especially seeing as he is only using one pickup, while everyone else in the world is playing through 3.. kinda makes you think carefully about those players.. not saying that they're shit.. :P

[shanepittenger]

@JonIsFrench what would having more than one pickup do?

[JonIsFrench]

@shanepittenger well when a player wants to get a cleaner sound while soloing they'll just switch to their neck pick-up giving that creamier muted tone.. where as if you only had the one tremolo pick up, especially a humbucker, you'd have to really know how to get that full tone from your hand.. lots of people can do it, its not easy but not that easy either.. thats the point i was trying to make

[nitoniwatori]

@JonIsFrench i agree with this... you should try to sweeping when you have High-Output Bridge Pickup on it's hard to clean the sound you should dev. your Muting skills and for play fast you can't even miss a little because it will easy to hear out the noise via bridge pickup vs neck pickup.

[shanepittenger]

@JonIsFrench i know that, what i meant is that it wouldnt make a difference if anton had more than one pickup cause he would still rock

[JonIsFrench]

@shanepittenger OOO ok.. yeah he would sound even more clean if he had another pickup.. mainly a jazz neck pickup :P

[P00LWAT3R]

@rahbirt If he's a clinician doing a clinic infront of a crowd where people are actually paying attention to everything he does counts for more than enough stage experience. Rather than a metal concert with a bunch of head bangers getting lost in the music.

[HXCpr0n]

he should get to chill with gilbert

[hfgrio]

me rio por no llorar

[sweetbilly]

Speed without accuracy = shitty player. This kids got it going on, I'm sure we haven't heard the last of him.

[MCALL99]

What's the name of the song he's playing?

[pochankitty]

Viking Kong, I'm pretty sure.

[IsraelSilvaMonje]

it is

[justfine77777]

FUCK!!!

[AngeloGrazianoo]

how old is he now>?

[dkrasney]

i bet you he struggles to play slow songs haha

[Nakkinaam4]

omg did i just see chrisfeener commenting below? tells me something hehe?:p

[poisoneyes]

Vai and Malmsteen couldnt find the exit to the buidling fast enough.

[MarioSixString]

The kid has amazing skills, whoever comments the opposite is either envious or retarded.

[knowhandedbob]

amazing

[skullz89]

i used to be able to do this stuff but due to a drug problem, i gave up on guitar and stopped playing, but recently ive cleaned up and got back to doing guitar, i hope i can again be good like this dude hear

thanks for the inspiration :)

[Fnaa01]

between 2:19 and 2:24 he played 64 fuckin notes in 5 seconds holy shit

[KH2R0xas]

12.8 notes per second, that's not that impressive. Alhough this kid is very impressive.

Shawn Lane 18nps now that's impressive!

[SpasticInk]

...And Victor Zinchuk (who's in the Guinness Book of Records) played 20nps in 2001 if I'm not mistaken, in addition to playing "Flight of The Bumblbee" in only 24 seconds.

But I keep asking myself, why do a lot of people keep forgetting the age factor here?? This kid is about only 12, and he's EXCEPTIONAL! (kinda reminds me of Jason Becker sometimes)

[guitarfreek1]

its not age though.... its practice. if he started playing at age 6, hes been playing guitar for 6 years. add tons of practice(and prolly musical parents pushing him to keep practicing), and you have one heck of a guitar player

[NAThan9871]

check his videos when he was 8... a kid can start the guitar whan he has enough strength to pull on his fingers on the strings. It's is not before 4 or 5 y.o. This kid play paul gilbert since he is 8... I bet that there are a few kids who can be as good as he is so soon but theses are geniuses... Parents are maybe not under their son talent

[Mackor123]

He plays great guitar! I just dont like hes hair, it's so short x)

[HiredGoonage]

For shits sake he's a little boy. Probably hasn't even hit puberty yet. Give him some time to develop a look.

[epilepsy211]

if you have ever heard of cube 2 this sounds like the music in the game

[Ruby746]

@ DuxoD.

He's already big..

still love him.

[jkvasn]

i am a fan <3

[Metaleho]

Paul Gilbert has an another soul or something:D JESUS CHRIST!!

[kecman92]

O man....This guy have greent kids watch,his hair is like hes going in church right now,but when he gets guitar,hese a METAL MACHINE :D

[matrixx29]

he has a slight vivian campbell sound from the old Dio days... holy diver anyone?

[Shred0Ninja411]

i knew this guy would be famous one day, been watching him for three years

[DuxoD]

wow, wow, fucking wow!!!

This kid totally rocks! He is probably going to be big in the future!

[geetahplayer]

this is Paul Gilbert reincarnated!..haha

[ChrisFeener]

@geetahplayer Paul's not dead.

But yes, he's freaking incredible, haha.

[deanml1986]

indeed, so are you though lol hows your playing going these days? done any more competitions? :P havent watched any of your vids in a while but the first one i watched was technical difficulties i think, and i was blown away by that lol

[SpatulaNinjaWizard]

amazing

[DaFuckingNoob]

this kid will be rich in the future.....

[brandon5pennies]

now all he needs to do is make his own compositions and he'll never have to have a real job he's got the skills and talent and has that paul gilbert picking hand

[qap614]

Mad mad skills my little man you are a giant amongst men at 11 years old. Did you ever go to school or did you sit home every day and practice. The timing, syncopation, strength and dexterity are completely amazing amd mostly the maturity of his ears are astonishing!

[deadleaves1985]

He sounds really got in this video. In two others his tone was quite shitty. And he plays good, yes. But maybe he should try to smile at least occasionally while he's performing.

[ZaeYeL]

he does around 2:50

[telecastersRthebest]

i quit! where can i sell my guitar?! this kid's got crazy talent! amazing!

[AmphisTheBand]

which song is this? original or what

[clappingfish]

is a paul gilbert song is like viking or something

[NeoGodHand]

Nah, it's Paul Gilbert, or rather it's Racer X.

Viking Kong by Racer X.

[skawa1991]

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

[aaronbergAPB]

Nobody plays like this at this age without some heavy duty instruction. Heck at any age for that matter. There is backstory here that I'd like to know about. Is he a student of Gilbert? I went to GIT in '89, and Paul was a killer teacher. Do I play like Paul? No, but this kid plays him well. He will develop his own voice in time. Amazing post, apb

[geetarplayer38]

What kind of guitar is that?

[TheMonkyBuisness]

.......

[Stovepipephilia]

I just shit rainbows.

[alterbridge111]

solo makes me want to fucking headbang a nail

[ions87]

[edgarrg94]
