[milliniumljh]

I think hometownvideos himself was that "kid".

[hometownvideos]

@milliniumljh please try not to think, save your brain cells....

[XshXawnX]

man i wish i could find somewhere to showcase my talents

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

thank GOD a blues contest all about the BLUES.

last contest I saw of something like this and kids were shredding =\ i mean what the fuck was that...

[CharlieKendallMusic]

I played in this round with him. I'm looking forward to hopefully hearing him again in the next one! I bet we've both improved a lot

[KingKramerTV]

ya know, YouTube wasn't created for losers to make anonymous passive aggressive, hateful comments...if you don't like what you see ...move along...why waste your valuable guitar critic skills ? fuck holes !

[aerosmith1123]

sorry but that 16 year old thinks that just because his parents bought him a gibson that hes good enough on guitar to be in the conteast

[aerosmith1123]

yes i can play and im 14 plus ive been playing for 5 years now what cock sucker

[ivanyhy]

@aerosmith1123

well that was really mean.

[aerosmith1123]

theres no wonder why he didnt go to the finals

[hometownvideos]

@aerosmith1123 what? do you think you can play? you suck

[iceman10129]

I wish my parents could of afforded to buy me a Gibson LP after a year of playing.

[hometownvideos]

@iceman10129 ... yeah, me too

[GuitarPhi1]

@iceman10129 me too spoil kid lmao jk jk but that cost a pretty penny!

[hometownvideos]

@GuitarPhi1 , nah, he has his own business and bought them himself.

[hometownvideos]

@GuitarPhi1 he bought it himself, he works at film editing and is now an orphan. so shut up, you don't know what your talking about. he didn't get some trust fund.

[hometownvideos]

@iceman10129 he bought it himself. he works as a film editor. he is now an orphan. don't be so judgmental.

[hometownvideos]

Respond to this video... i bet he wishes he had parents to buy him that guitar too. there are actually people who do buy things by working hard..... his family is dead. your cruel

[yatah]

@hometownvideos Do you know how his parents died?

[1BrknHrtdRomeo]

slow tempo blues...i like it =D

[freezazoid]

not trying to talk shit or anything, but I thought I was just an okay guitarist... and this guy is in some sort of contest? hahah.... I should have entered. Again, not trying to talk shit, this kid is only sixteen. He did a helluva job and would have beat me out as a 16 year old... maybe.

[hometownvideos]

@freezazoid hey, i understand, but the truth is, he just listened to that song and put something together the day of the contest with no practice. i agree, it was just okay. he like's playing foo fighters, dispatch and lots of 80's music. he'd never played in front of anyone alone, so, was he in great form, no, but nonetheless, he is just a kid. hopefully he will show what he really can do with a guitar in the future. thanks for your candor.

[guitarmessiah95]

I'm not getting what you do? Do you write your own thing to go along with the track or do you try to play whats on the track.

[hometownvideos]

@guitarmessiah95 hi, you make up your own leads and you can use a pedal, a slide whatever to go with the backing track.

[Porkchop909]

pffffffffffffffttttttttt......­.

[hometownvideos]

@Porkchop909 pfffffffffffttttttttt back at you

[amast3rMind69]

zeppelin in the background

[hometownvideos]

@amast3rMind69 no, its the music track that Guitar Center makes you use.

[trumpetgod2010]

I was scared shitless when I was doing my entry in Nashville. Johnny Hiland was one of the judges and even though my prescence was shit I got third place. I wish I could put up a vid, but I don't have one. I'll try next year though.

[hometownvideos]

I think you did pretty good. the guy who won has been doing that for a long time and knew what he was in for. i wish you the best of luck for next year!!!

[hometownvideos]

the truth is, he learned this song just that day of the contest. he never practiced at all. he had no idea what he was doing. if he at least practiced maybe he would had done better.

yeah, drew had showmanship. but still honestly, i wasn't impressed. it was all show, no real talent. he must had practiced for months to get that rock star movement down, because his playing was marginal. i mean that.

[PnoiTheKid]

a bit better tone and some stage presence and I think this guy would have got some better reviews.

[GoldGibson]

this is way good...you know how much better it would be if you played with more soul and agression....

[DetroitDRight]

"Looses" to old guys? Who were the old guys? Drew's like 24....

[hometownvideos]

exactly! old guys!

[DetroitDRight]

So, you're saying that somebody who's 24 years old is "old"?

[hometownvideos]

besides, drew is older and runs up and down king street. every morning, yeah, he should keep running. he was okay, for a much older guy, he was average at best. this boy is a child, only 16, self taught, so screw off

[hometownvideos]

bite my ass. drew is all show, no player!

[2012RockGoddess]

not bad. good improv

[morrisonhotel86]

you think with him using the gibson they would had picked him. the old guys sucked!

[morrisonhotel86]

compared to the other guitar players I think he sounds pretty good. so i'm gonna give him 5 stars.

[carloswalter1975]

You did really good, man! Sorry to hear you're not through. Don't let that get you down. Keep on jamming! (sweet axe, by the way!)
