[Guitarwizard]

Yuck...

[Guitar1hero23]

this guy is definately good, but i dont like his vibrato

[clintmiller23]

3:01 - Smiles and thinks - "Did you feel that?"

[joskam092]

His acoustic stuff was way better than anyone elses, but he was nervous or something for his electric stuff. It was not very good, and he messed up a few times. That's probs why he didn't win. He's good though, I like him

[francisco444]

John Mayer all over his playing. Heard many Mayer licks here. Listen to "Come when I call" by Mayer.

[ivanyhy]

@francisco444 I didn't really get that feeling...

[PhantomCover]

@francisco444 Thats for damn sure

[jonchristianify]

this cat was way better than the winner... he let the music BREATHE!!! he actually "SAID" something when he played!!! nice job bro

[TheGargoyleLives]

Seriously, why didn't this guy win???

[forgottenblues]

I saw him do his thing at the regional in Arlington Heights IL. Out of all the guitar players that I saw, he was the only one that brought something new to the table. It's funny how judging goes sometimes leaves you scratching your head and wondering what the heck. He is one talented guitar player and wish him continued success.

@forgottenblues

I didn't find the same originality some others did. Good player and with a future as a accomplished craftsman. Lacking an artists' expression that in fairness is not present with most contestants. Calculated and precise but the "artist" is not there. Again I am not saying in the least that he or the other contestants are not good . In fact some are very good and were very entertaining. Thanks

[yairoka]

what a weird guy... why does he hold the pick like that?

[rickymac2]

Exactly...I though Pinkle was the best....by far!

[SuperBeibersucks]

He lost to Randy Scott????!!! )=

[Shinybulldozer]

In every single video the rhythmic section looks completely pissed.

[BrickFrigid]

@Shinybulldozer It's because all of them have to play the same boring backing tracks for a bunch of people who are rarely good

[razr2142]

that snare is really killing me, what an ugly sound..

[CMRbuzz7]

Best acoustic performance for sure! I think he would've won if he had a more exciting electric performance because these judges rarely will vote up a jazz based routine over a blues rock one.

[countryfan3319]

that a boy joey! Sick shit man...ull def get laid if u bust that out at the next party!

[guitarguy974]

what a mean vibrato

[JerkyTreat]

Pretty coo.

[cmac2415]

strange. thats all i can really say

[order57]

The man is doin' good!

[headwhop26]

Move over Ry Cooder

[joebrassmonkey]

his vibrato is terrible! tones not bad, but i'm not a fan of his phrasing either

[Chaz6993X]

he holds his pick so weird.

[lukaas0073]

@Chaz6993X

Thats the Benson grip.... swy his tone is so good...

[Piratcykel]

Is this a kid or a young adult?

[guitarmessiah95]

@Piratcykel The youngest to enter the contest it 16 years old

[Savatage420]

pretty good....he holds the pick kinda like marty friedman

[headwhop26]

I like this kid. He doesn't try to rip the guitar apart with speed and seems thoughtful about his playing.

[Forgeth3Bulletz]

what are his amp settings?

[sk4forum]

@Forgeth3Bulletz same as his guitar belt width.
