  • 7 strings!?

  • what the fuck is nu metal? u mean new metal? stop trying to sound cool.

  • Great, they are teaching kids early to chug on the low strings with the gain turned up. the future will be terrible for us musicians.

  • @hunterlpdc94 Im not a fan of nu metal, but that is what you get with that genre...

  • @hunterlpdc94 oh shut up, their is nothing wrong with chugs.

  • OMFG..!! Did he just play that...

  • Can you see him when he's around 16-18 years old! Great job little Dude..Keep it up! \m/

  • thumbs up if u are jealous :p

  • Comment removed

  • How longs he been learning cos for a couple of years it's alright tbh, but if he's been at it for 5 or 6 then It's not great.... O_o

  • @jacobparasite wha are you talking about??????!!!He's a kid not like a a guy at the height if his life with nothing to do - he's growing up, he needs to study , you just cants say that dude!!!

  • cute boy

  • terribile

  • This is not bad, but you should get your picking techniques corrected. The angle that your hand is on with your thumb bent about 30 degrees can lead to poor picking in the future, or hand problems. Good Luck! :)

  • Jimmy Hendrix is turning over in his grave. :)  Not bad. Not bad at all. :)

  • hell of a lot better than me when i was 10

  • Its way easier to play in drop Z. If it was a 20 something playing he would get slated on here for this. Kids shouldn't be on Youtube....there watching an innocent video of Peppa pig with another video in the sidebar of someone killing one.

  • Guys hes ten and really talented for his age all the ppl that are saying this kid cant play i bet you cant even play a chord. Hi Fletcher your really really good and Im Sam kininger's daughter! GOOD JOB :)

  • learn the blues first, son

  • 358 people cant stand the fact the a 10 year old kid can play better than them...

  • @Sebekireland That's right! Wish I had this kids talent!

  • culiao shoro xD

  • theres a great future in front of this kid.

  • q asko..!!!! bn sucio......

  • holds the pick and plays like marty friedman!

  • good job ;DD

  • need to work on your picking style

  • It's not even good...

  • el niño no esta tocando la guitarra solo mueve sus manos

  • hahaha i'm 15 right now and i still suck =D his picking techniques is weird, just sayin

  • 335 losers are jealous they weren't as good when they were 10

  • That alternate picking around 1:30 was just horrible but that was great for his age I guess.

  • Be my instructor already!!!

  • you know when i watched this, i happened to wear a slipknot shirt too lol

  • tune in D is for queers!

  • @mateustotys Yeah, because tuning has everything to do with sexual preference. :P

  • i like how kids talk about nu metal like they grew up with it.

  • @ladicius I like how kids "do" metal, like they knew what it is

  • I didn't get that for my 10th birthday...

  • Lol the guitar looks too big for him

  • Only 10 years old people!!! Good job little dude!! StayMetal !!!

  • I can't answer about all those disliker, that's because he think he is the better so with his guitar he play really hard.

  • can't play for nuts

  • Comment removed

  • @cassyusbomber

    if you think playing guitar hero gives you the right to speak on matters of real guitar like you know what you're talking about, you're like a kid in a highschool play that thinks he's a famous actor, or you tried to pick up guitar and just failed miserably, there's a big difference between 5 buttons and 144 frets... but hey, there's always rap and video games for douche bags like you.

  • what effects you use?

  • I'm only 13! check out my channel!

  • you make me wanna kill myself

  • He would be better if he would of learned the proper way to hold the pick when he started. I'm just saying his picking technique is just plain awful and I think that's holding him back a shit ton. He's ok for someone who obviously wasn't shown a halfway right way to pick.O well, when i started i didn't hold the pick right either but I guess he'll figure it out eventually. Can't say I was blown away by that, I'd say he needs more practice lol, but for just fucking around I guess that was alright.

  • @spakattack you hold the pick however is comfortable, that is a very individual thing and what may be comfortable and "right" to one may be useless to another. so you obviously don't play the guitar and if you do you are poorly informed and suck to have to criticize a 10yr old like you are, instead of just saying nice job and just give a simple compliment.

  • Why is everyone hatin? Dudes 10 and can play some cool riffs. ha ha

  • Daaawwwwmn!! kid that is one tasty riff !!

  • He is amazing! and anyone saying he isnt or they play "better" keep in mind he is now 11 and he gets better and better! so STFU

  • music without feellings? no way

  • get some proper metal amp..

  • R.I.P. Ozzy, this kidd just kicked your ass!

  • He is good, but Nu metal sucks balls

  • i like my "guitar idols" to have good technique.

  • @ACDCwarmachine lol you're right but then I wonder about your channel's name

  • @Fedethedangerous95 old account... i loved acdc back then. made this like 3 years ago

  • @ACDCwarmachine Why?? AC/DC is fucken cooool

  • pus

  • pus

  • Pus

  • hey Fluffypopcicle ...eat shit and die

  • Why is acting like he is playing some John Petrucci ultra mega hard ass kicking shit ?...Lol I don't think he deserves that STEF-B7 or whatever you call it, nevertheless he probably will in 5 years if he takes that shitty t-shirt off. Just saying.

  • welll its not the best but god damn if hes gonna play a mini solo do it right man this kid still has a long way to go before he can wow anyone

  • @Haiskoahanta

    Envious? Sounds like someone here likes to talk with rebecca black's fans and use their shit arguments.

  • Wow is that some sort of combination of justin bieber's hair, plus mandark's hair, plus posernot shirt and some kind of lame playing? I hate it when I go straight to the weird side of youtube without noticing.

  • @cassyusbomber if you think that this is lame for a 10 year old to playing this well then you must be 9 and jealous.... don't dare tell us how old you really are! Go back to the "cool" side of youtube asshole!

  • @jbrannon01 It is lame, doens't matter how old he is.

    19, actually, not that you telling me what not to do will influence on anything.

    The opposite of "weird" is "normal", you dumb fuck.

  • @cassyusbomber haha did that make feel better? Now go play guitar hero!

  • @jbrannon01 It's not about that

    What does guitar hero have to do with anything?

    Of course I don't play regular guitar, still doesn't mean I can't distinguish between good and lame players.

    You done sucking kid's cocks?

  • AMAZING.

    Having said that_ I assume if he's wearing a Slipknot shirt, he listens to them?

    At age 10.

    Epic Playing.

    More Epic Parenting Fail.

  • this is next generation

  • I think this kid deserves even more attention!! I don´t share the opinion of fluffypop at all.....

  • I think he's good for his age but technique can (and I'm guessing will be) improved over time

  • i disliked because of the slipknot t-shirt

  • fine , ok playing but what you are playing is just plain CRAPPY , sorry

  • The improv was seriously bad, just cramming in random notes.

    That's not how you do it.

  • For his age, very good. People who dislike this video are just envious, they couldn't play smoke on the water when they were 10 years old...

  • Here Son, have a really expensive guitar, because if you are not going to be famous we will kill you

  • keep progressing dude!

  • frikkin awesome kid! just keep practicing, don't get lazy! You're gonna be a shred deity!

  • The child has a great future for.

  • I think he's pretty good. I gotta admit, I wasn't playing like that at his age. Hell, I wasn't even playing at all at 10yrs old. haha. Can't wait to see him play when he's older!

  • Good! See you in 10 years.

  • For everybody saying he sucks: Send us a video of you playing guitar at 10 years of age. You are more than likely a lot older than him, and may play better than him, but given his age, I bet when he is your age he will be 10x's better than you will ever be.

  • This guitar is bigger than the boy:D

  • Sweet ESP but not so great playing.

  • wankers just keep kedding younger and younger

  • looks hard : /

  • something like fast guitar shredding that sounded awful

    idk... why every1 likes him because his 10

    maybe in 9years his music will get enjoyable

  • I can't wait to see what this kid will be playing like in 5 years. It's seriously going to be killer.

  • sure its not the best or anything and not original but come on!! how could you dislike this video!! Hes 10 frikin years old and its pretty much improvised, this kid is insane for being that young. Anyone who dislikes this video is obviously jealous. Keep rockin little dude, i can tell you're gonna be a damn good guitar player!! probably much better than me one day

  • he is not 10 years old! hes just short doesnt mean hes 10 years old. maybe hes a hobbit :)

  • Respect. I wish I could do that at that age.

  • Shit mate. 

  • This sucked. Like come on, just cause he's ten and can manage to pick fast means he is going to be the next van halen to some of you? Ugh...

  • He is good, but Nu metal sucks balls

  • @Droamen Yeah. I respect fast/ great players but it's just a bunch of nonsense with some guy that can't sing screaming over it.

  • @joverby88 Totally right, Nu metal = no talented people trying to play metal

  • @Droamen That's not true. Disturbed used to be nu metal, and they're actually really talented

  • @DividedWillow Yeah, using 5 chords..

  • @DividedWillow Ditsturbed, good band, but another new metal band? who really uses guitar like the legends? nu metal is so repetitive, no talent, is like listening the same song allways with a low tune guitar and 4 or 5 notes on the lower string. This kid would be amazing if he would play Led Zeppelin, or any beatles song.Is not how fast you play, is even making a simply solo to go directly into the audience heart and make their skin like chicken. thats what music is about, feeling

  • what guitar is that?

  • Fletcher, don't listen to any of those negative comments. Their either mad because they have no talent, or mad because they have no life. keep playing dude

  • great solo (:

  • His shirt says it all to me haha Slipnut

  • just go to your mom and drink some milk!!!!

  • guys , cmon , hes 10 so dont give negative feedbacks , at least hes that good at 10 !

  • @OutLaw7675 now he is way much better from a 21 years old (me) Cough.... !!!!! xD

  • Hey men, I hate bad crytics from people to the average learning guitar player, it seems to me that is pure envy..think this way: with practice, this boy will be a great guitar player, and this video is just a post of his advance. Instead of giving him a bad crytics you can say: Keep on, Fletcher!! ..sorry if i have broken english :)|-<

  • how i cant get so much views?!

    watch my cover! /watch?v=24-CfKRF9wo

  • thats because he's a kid assholes, hes 10 give him some credit..labeling the video as guitar idol is pushing it i understand, but i strongly doubt anyone posting negative feedback was that good when they were his age

  • These kids always have those ugly and inefficient techniques...

  • Is it me or is he picking too hard?

  • Well u play good, but u don't hold the pick right, u strum the strings too hard and u cant really keep beat on those riffs and neck taping. But yeah it's pretty good I couldn't play like that when I was 10, i can play better than that now, but I'm 13 (I've been in lessons not too long now and I've improved lots) so I bet u will improve too

  • thumgs up if you were wathing his thumb form all the time :D

  • That kid can sure play some tight riffs. Granted, I never liked the pickup configuration on the Stephen Carpenter ESP. That rhythm pickup would sound so much better if it were moved further towards the neck. Otherwise, this kid is rocking out!

  • I think he just love what he do!!

  • If people continue to blindly praise his rubbish playing he will never progress. He is good for his age, but needs to be reminded of his weak points so that he can better from it.

  • little dude excellent job!

    metal guitarists! just shows that your genre is 5th grade!

  • leave the poor guitar alone...

  • @GamersDemos its a 7 string dude, there used for heavy music, do you have any vids??? didnt think so lol your probably shocking yourself.

  • @twotellys12 so if it's a 7 string what? doesn't mean he has to suck at playing, i play for almost 2 years now on 6 strings and i can say i do pretty well, no i don't have vids i paid 200$ for drawing tools (i love drawing im pretty good at it ) so i can't afford a camera atm but u can see my drawings and my own song tabs on my facebook if ur interested its "Ady si Atat"

  • Cool that he's playing as young as he is but... it's really not that amazing. He plays the same riff with like 3 notes and some chugging, then plays a solo of the same 10 notes over and over with some hesitant tapping thrown in. I'm interested to see him progress, however. If he finds passion for good music I'm sure he'll become a great player.

  • The Slipknot T totally made this....

  • Ahaha dude i saw you at the Berklee College Of Music Guitar Sessions! You were really good at that rock jam sesh dude!

  • All the haters just wish they had the talent that you have....

  • wink..!!

  • I hate how shitty players get respect because of their age. I can understand respecting a kid who can play a complicated Chopin piece and not have that much dynamics because kids just don't normally have the brain function to add those types of dynamics to complicated classical pieces, but kids like this shouldn't get attention because of their age.

  • @Fluffypopcicle

    you got it, dude! ;)

  • @Fluffypopcicle You mean like Anton Oparin?!

  • @oilkills

    Was that a diss on him, or a compliment? Not quite sure what you mean by that my dear friend :)

  • @Fluffypopcicle He gets attention, regardless of his actual ability, because he is good for his age. I'd like to see videos of you playing at 10. I started playing guitar at 15 (relatively late) and I do play better than him. But how amazing will he be when he's my age? He has an extra 5 years of experience that I physically can't ever make up for :) I think deep down us older people are just a wee bit jealous that we didn't start at an earlier age. That's why people make comments like yours.

  • @qdqshred

    Poppycock. I have seen a number of kids his age and younger that make look like a noob. This is what I would expect if you were to give a 10 year old kid this age a 7 string guitar and a couple of metal albums. I could give a rat's ass when I started, I like where I am now and I keep progressing further every time I pick up my guitar. As harsh as this seems, nick jonas has more music in him than this kid, he just isn't that special.

  • @qdqshred I started 10 months ago and I'm better than this kid l

  • @MysterioFan02 are you 10 years old?

  • @qdqshred age is irrelevant.

  • Steph Carpenter guitar = awesome.

    Slipknot shirt = fail.

  • nice one lad!

    keep it up!!

    and dont take any notice of the jelous typo`s!!

  • Hey its Andy from Child's Play ! so this is what he's doing after he left Chucky.

  • Comment removed

  • I suggest checking out B.B King young sir. Learn some emotion. For the great B.B King may not shred like this, but he can put more heart and soul into one bend than this entire solo.

  • Dude, my 14 year old buddy would shove a shockwave up his arse.

  • thats crazy good but wheres the emotion?

  • you can't be a guitar idol !! don't even think about it .. i hate your face so arrogant

  • @izzatizzat25619 you're an asshole.. you're arrogant

  • hes just a spoiled little brat, ive been playing for 3.5 years yet i can beat kids thatve been @ it for ten, whats the deal?

  • @FrontlineGuitar, It don't matter if you're the best guitarist in your school, that's like sayin you're the coolest kid with down syndrome in a mentally challeneged help program lol, the fact that this kid's ten and plays amost as good as somebody like paul gilbert with a seven string is fuckin' bombin'! I'm one of the better guitarists in my school too, but when your school doesn't have that many guitarists to begin with, doesn't really matter all that much. I give this kid props like hell XD

  • kid you gonna win  im a amazing bass player and you should join my band

    youre just that good

  • sory but its fake u gave it away by struming to loud

  • btw:

    to all haters of my recent comment:

    at least it seems like i´m not the only one thinking like that :D

  • little cunt's better than me >:( lol

  • give him 10 more years.... hes good now for sure but wait we'll here more from him

  • Just someone playing metal... nuthin special. Still, good on him ^^ Play what ou want kid ^^

  • Whatever you do Fletcher, keep up what you're doing and don't give in to the "you gotta play with 'feeling' nonsense". Leave that to the Eric Clapton fan boys and you keep playing whatever you like to play!

    Just because some other people don't appreciate metal music and post negative comments shouldn't mean anything to you.

    Keep enjoying playing guitar the way YOU want to play it.

  • @Galactu5

    i DO love metal music, but DON´T like the vid :P

    what about me, man? :D

    wanna bitch-fight?

  • now play arpeggios from hell

  • good luck kid.... you'll be better than the wanna BEs today.. someday..

  • I know he's ten, but it sounds shit. It needs emotion or some kind of good melody.

  • lil chugger!

    

  • Nothing wrong with getting your art out there. That's all part of YouTube. Keep up the good work, and be in it for the music.

  • Young or not, no one deserves the credit JUST BECAUSE they're smaller. I've seen 6 year olds who are great, get by the awkwardness and the giant guitars. Really...

    I mean in my 1 year of playing, I outmatch his 3. NOT BECAUSE HES LITTLE! SIZE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SKILL. He's okay, definitely not ready to go for guitar idol. Neither am I.

  • Muito podre, olhe o jeito que segura a palheta ¬¬

    A guitarra ainda por cima, é maior que ele!

  • Kid can shred but doesnt sound original or creative really and I have to say the Slipknot shirt lost him some points with me... He should know how crappy slipknot's songs are

  • SLIPKNOT T-SHIRT, 7 STRING GUITAR, DEEP HEAVY RIFFS, 10 YEAR OLD KID... MY HEROOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU ROCK BRO
