[patrickjmorgan]

I wonder if Steve has been shown this?- what a star- and at 9!!! I bet Dad is a fan- as someones coach him in Steve style.Brilliant! I hope James goes on to play for a living.

[sadaosoi1]

my nephew was born this morning and called James MacPherson, so I googled the name and arrived here. What a talent. Good to know the wee lad's in such talented company!

[goodfella1962]

Simply an amazing rendition of one of Hackett's coolest songs! This is spectacular playing for a young man of his age. Many of us adults could practice hours every day and still could not do as well. What a gift, and mom and dad must be so proud. I know that I would be!

[nemanjapozega93]

SHIT!!! A nine year old??!!!!

Way to go, man, I thought it was Steve for like a minute or so!!!

BTW, I feel ashamed for playing guitar myself..... :)

[ksjoyjespeace]

wow!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU, JAMES, I'M A HUGE HACKETT FAN; DO YOU HAVE ALL HIS ALBUMS? HE HAS PUT OUT A LOT OF THEM!! HAVE YOU SEEN "TWIGHLIGHT ALEHOUSE" BY GENESIS? CHECK IT OUT!ALSO, CHECK OUT CAMEL'S "ICE" IF YOU CAN PLAY THAT SOLO BY ANDY LATIMER, YOU CAN PLAY ANYTHING!!! ALSO, CHECK OUT SHADOWFAX'S"A SONG FOR MY BROTHER" GREAT GUITAR SOLOING ON THAT SONG ! THANKS!; WHAT A GOD GIVEN TALENT!!

[snoreturium]

rare talents are hard to find. awesome

[1996POTTER19]

Impressive. Inspiring. A young man with a future. Stay focused!

[sallyfinch1]

Wow! How proud you must be, Ian. My boys love this so much one of them has recorded it onto his DSi. Penny told me about your talented son so I decided to check him out, glad I did, hope life is good for you, have fun at Chris's 50th party, I can't be there I'm sorry to say, take care. Sal (Finch) (Brooke)

[4evrhackett1]

I think it is so cool that a kid this age is into Hackett let alone can play so well. When I talk about Steve Hackett people are like"who the hell is that"? Music's best kept secret.

[s0undch4s3r]

Beautiful. Love the light effects too. Goes with Hacketts musical Atmosphere.

[trevizons]

This is amazing, wonderful, beautiful, extraordinary, marvelous, accurate, deep, simply the best cover I've ever heard, Steve you must see this and be proud of it, this proves that you were right leaving Genesis because of what you really believe in, to compose and play good music, trascendent for the rest of the world, this is your legacy, and a mighty one, James, you are a living legend NOW !

[SPeacock]

I want Steve to see this :)

[KyrionMyrthar]

Wonderful!

[PaulaPeixotoVideos]

[500East12]

I wish I could have played guitar like this when I was 9. This kid and Steve Hackett should jam together.

[ajittffcure]

Wow! To be exposed to such beautiful music and then to re-create that music at such a young age is more than just an achievement. It was really good.

Very glad to know that Steve Hackett's music strikes a chord with even a child's heart!

[whalingstories]

I wish i was that cool when i was 9. My first public performance was an acoustic led zeppelin medley, how lame. I should have done Marigold! when you're on top of the world, don't forget to thank Steve. he's my most inspirational guitarist as well and he deserves a lot more credit than he gets. well done.

[Emin7]

little acorns...............

[SpiritsDawn]

oh my god this lads fantastic he has the talent and inspriration to go far I hope keeps this up :)

[GoldHealth]

This guitarist is 9 years old? He is definitely a child prodigy. And thank god playing some classy music by the great Steve Hackett, instead of rap or some other meaningless stuff. Has Steve heard you, Ian?

[hask2112]

excellent

[Castroph]

Glad to finally see someone inspired by the great guitarist instead of the new bands/guitarists these days.

[jsilence418]

[andrewlowrie]

Superb - awesome - see you in a stadium in a few years :-)

[floouk]

F**king incredible!!!

[dflavin99504]

Great Job, Young Man!

Glad to see that Steve Hackett continues to inspire.

[hensie45]

This kid is a child prodigy. I hope he never stops playing guitar. I'm sure we will here a lot more of him.

[memalley]

I wanna see a video of this kid playing Clocks.. or Ace of Wands....

[joewatson406]

or Every Day

[ajfaggiani]

Awesome! Congratulations!

[invol713]

OMG! That was bad ass! There are many adults that can't play that song. And megakudos for emulating the best guitarist alive.

[clemdallaway]

Nice one James!!! Say hello to your dad for me.

I'm glad you are stillplaying the Steve Hackett stuff.

Clem

[Niagara07]

WOW! THANK YOU! You made me want to pick up my guitar again. Don't EVER give it up, James.

[einna320]

You did a wonderful job! I am very impressed! It is so cool of you to choose Steve Hackett's music. He's the best!!!

[arthurmee]

You're amazing James. I'm full of admiration for you. Keep at it, you'll be a guitar god by the time you're 15. You just played one of my favourite Hackett pieces brilliantly.

[steve161057]

Well done, son. Get your tips from the Master and you will go far

[telichek]

great performance, amazing for a 9 year old!

fantastic song also

[marc201]

I am a fan of Steve Hackett and this is well done. I would like to know what effects pedal you are using in this video. Once again a great job on that song.

[JanineRobin]

omg, beautiful - my favourite Steve Hackett song and he's only 9, i nearly cried lol

[vash1963]

Good job, a made who understands the Les Paul.

[voloaltissimo]

Hackett is a substainer of reincarnation, and this is the only example of reincarnation before one dies!!! LOL wonderful....

[Lyktwz]

9 years old??? OMG!!! I want to see you when you are 15!!!

[joewatson406]

OMG! I loved it before I realised you were nine... Awesome... btw, have you got a copy of the tab yu'd be willing to send me?

[cuteblondecrystal]

WOW! I'm impressed. I didn't know that there were 9 year-olds out there who have heard Steve Hackett's music, let alone could play it - that is cool. That song is almost as old as I am, LOL.

[kharlamych]

listening to james more prone to thinking about pre-life experience.thank u,james.

[jandave06]

Steve Hackett is one of my all time fav guitarists. You really, really do him an honour. Good luck in the future, you will have it all in no time,just don't stop ever!

[thehip2007]

[markjpcs]

That was sweet!

Where did you get the music without the guitar part?

[cyberwing777]

OMG-this kid is nine? Geez, what skills. Keep it up and you will be on the radio in ten years! And with taste in music like this, we need it!

[tanhouse]

This is great !! Keep going James, you cant go wrong with learning to play Hackett tunes !! This has made my day !!!!

[salmacis81]

It s good to hear a young boy playing this song from such a magnificient artist as S. Hackett but, by the other side, I didn't like the sound. Anyway, nice playing.

[komoru]

He's 9 yrs old, give him a break!

[Jocabo2000]

Wonderful!

[gazza365]

james im also a young hackett fan and i gotta say u played that piece beautifuly

[gregesis]

This is awesome. I love this peice of music and am happy that a new generation of fans are appreciating it. Nice work James.

[mistersmeeg]

Very, very good young man, I'm sure that Steve would be suitably impressed.

[skylarking31]

More power to your plectrum, James. This is one of my favourite Hackett pieces, and a potential minefield, but you carried it off brilliantly. Great to see young talent being influenced by one of the best in the business.

[armin411]

Great tune!
