[AcousticNoise]

Kid, when it comes to playing guitar, I like where your head's at. Very skilled and very tasteful. Unlike many guitarists nowadays, you seem to understand and feel the musicality required for playing guitar.

[0161choco98]

[johnballinout]

hey johnny, this is john from ur school in challenge A, and ur amazing at guitar!!!

[HardRockr55]

johnny your awesome. keep it up man. i hope you make it big.

[munkiedaiper]

Hes pretty good but his choice of music sucks.. 80's suck rock anyone?

[skynyrdrebel994]

I agree late 60's and 70's is the way to go!

[skynyrdrebel994]

I also forgot he has a terrible choice in guitars too. Only a Gibson is good enough!!

[munkiedaiper]

yeah thats true. I have a 1981 gibson es 335 DOT sunburst. its awesome

[greetingfrommars]

Can't play like that with a Gibson. You have to have a double-locking trem to do the things he is doing. Also notice he has 24 frets, and he is using all of them. I don't think Gibson makes any guitar with 24 frets.

[munkiedaiper]

That's not true at all. Mine does. :)

[greetingfrommars]

The ES 335 is a great guitar, but it does not have 24 frets, and it has a non-trem bridge.

[munkiedaiper]

I meant mine can play that song... it doesnt have 24 frets

[greetingfrommars]

I'm sure you are a very good guitarist, but how do you dive bomb with the trem, and how do you do the pick hammering on the 24th fret when you only have 22?

[greetingfrommars]

Just to be clear, I think you have a real treasure of a guitar. I would really like to have a guitar like yours, too. But for this style of playing, you really have to have an Ibanez, Jackson, or any of just a handful of other guitars made for this purpose. Still, your guitar is really awesome.

[munkiedaiper]

Yeah I agree with you your right. I couldn't play this on my gibson, but I could on that guitar... Thanks for the compliment of my guitar though.

[RandomActs0fViolence]

awesome stuff. I don't know the first thing about guitar-playing (other than that I like listening to it) but you're obviously good.

[Jdudeo]

not only is he a great guitarist, but he can switch guitars in a split second and teleport to the back of pickup trucks!

[Nyxtia]

And isn't that what great guitarists are all about?

[HoosierD12]

I understand Eddie Van Halen couldn't teleport into a truck until he was 14.

[greetingfrommars]

I already commented on your other video, but this one is even better. You ARE like a mini-Satch. I hope my nine-year-old will one day play like you.

[joeelliottroxmysox]

great job producing a melody. Steve Clark would be so flattered by your understanding of the importance of SONG rather than just showing off...great stuff kid. would love to see you MOVE more...let it out! love your sound though! keep it up!!

[NathanMilley]

your ok

[bloodwake900]

Hes 12...

[NathanMilley]

i can read numb nuts

[Metallicrazy]

You are doing a great job. As long as you love playing, you will become great....you definitly will go on to great things :)

[Royalhighlander]

Keep at it son.. follow your dreams and your heart and you will succeed... All the best to you..got the link from a Satriani post ya made.. Glad I stopped in

[musikfreak20011]

yeah, someone is going around the joe satriani videos saying this kid is a mini sacht lol. this is how i heard of him too

[Royalhighlander]

Have to admit he IS good, and one day we'll say we saw him on youtube before he made it big, which I think he will do

[musikfreak20011]

yup, thatll be pretty cool.

hes def. good.. i think he'll make it big also

[bloodwake900]

Really good, getting better!

I love this song.
