  • Jimmy died and was reborn into this kids soul

  • Keep coming back to this. Effing brilliant is all i can say.

  • Hahah i like the "Yeahhh" at the end :P : 1:05

  • Thanks for making all us older players cry at not practicing enough! lol

  • 16th Caprice perfectly played at the correct speed. Mother fucking amazing.

  • i hate this in a good way :)

  • how the fuck is he even doing this??? I bet even the likes of Marshall Harrison would have to use hybrid picking to get this song down as cleanly as this KID!!!

  • *Puts guitar in case and sets it on fire*

  • *starts practicing

  • Once his playing has more soul, he will be the best guitarist for sure... just another couple of years and he will rule the guitar world >:D!!

    and I love at the end everyone is just like "woooooooooooooooow"

  • jaw dropping. He just played the complete paganini's 16th caprice without one mistake. Hes truly the greatest shredder in the world, Period.

  • Outstanding !!!!

  • This is what I mean when I say "The next generation is gonna come and bite all you older people in the ass"

  • can anyone tell name of this etude? cause I'm going to learn it

  • This kid probably started to play the guitar at age 4 and did only classical on an accoustic guitar. Hard work. It must be pretty easy for him to run a fast neck of a heavy metal guitar, no wonder he can play so fast on it. Very impressive.

  • what song is this? it's awesome!

  • Its like he died in an ealier life as an epic guitar player and remembered everything!

  • His left hand is like a printer. So effing precise!

  • I don't think there were any videos of Shawn Lane playing guitar at a very early age. I know there's clips of him with BOA playing when he was 16, but I'm curious to hear how good he was at age 13 or so, when he wasn't playing for a long time. Either way, Anton is a great player and I have high hopes for him!

  • wow...jason becker without the lou gherig's disease

  • Kicks the whole world's ass!!! buckethead, go back to music school

  • @osamierda dude.. buckethead could kick this kids ass any day!

  • @flipedup You don't play guitar, do you?

  • @osamierda i feel this is gonna be a huge internet arguement so i suggest lets just drop this right here and we'll forget i said anything... k? and yea i do

  • @flipedup Ok, I agree

  • @osamierda thank u!!

  • Funny all the comments comparing this kid to 30 and 40 year old guitarist.

    Put another 13 year old kid next to him and we can start making comparisons.

    Who are we bullshitting?

    This kid is a bonafide prodigy.

  • @jwandhistools

    ..maybe even a savant!!

  • This kid must have got laid when he was like 8 years old. The groupies must have been there at that time. How come he doesn´t have a signature guitar model already.

  • what song is this??

  • @stefanopunkskate  Paganini's 16th Caprice

  • the kids got some awesome chops but that amp sounded like crap i dont know if it wasnt set right or it was the amp itself.none the less little to raw and trebly for my tastes.

  • Rubbish i could learn that in about 7 hours LOL nah seriously though that was really amazing and i would probably never be able to do that I need to hear more of that guy hes awsome.

  • The next generation guitarist, and I think that kid will be the reference for all guitar players.

    He can play paganini at age of 11 what Jason Becker done at 18, he got the perfect Paul Gilbert's picking, That guy piss off over winner and all finalists from guitar idol, mattrach , and similars.

    If he continues such a progress he will by a guitar god, that's for sure.

  • @CondeBloodySucker Paul gilbert picking = legato and picking now and then to trick the ears into thinking its really being picked lol.. but yeah.. this kid is a little bit better than I was at that age for sure. now the question is if he will throw it all away for a woman or keep dedicated?

  • @musichopper That IS the best question!!!

    Anyway Gilbert does play like you say on his recordings yet he is not "tricking your ear into thinking it's being picked" he can and does pick every note on his instructional videos and sometimes in solo's on record.

    Besides all of that... I would have loved to have heard this played with a clean tone (as in: not distorted) I think it would have come across sounding better.

    Played pretty much technically perfect. The kid's a giant!

  • @musichopper

    no paul picks everything. hes one of the few guitarists that can do that.

  • @guitarfreek1 He doesn't actually pick everything, as he says in a couple lessons and interviews, but he CAN pick everything.

  • Yea well i bet my penis is bigger than his...

    jk

    glad to see him having fun, which is the most important thing.

  • funny

  • Seeing a kid this young be this good makes me want to throw away my guitar and write myself off as a failure :(

  • guitar isn't about being the best, it's about having fun. If your playing for other reasons , it's probably not a good thing.

  • Skull crusher are stompboxes made by tonebox and they look like little skulls they're prety amazing

  • what type of distortion do u use?

  • im pretty sure he uses a skull crusher, but thats just a guess.

  • What's a Skull Crusher?

  • he picked every fucking note. ALL of them!

  • That's fucking amazing.

  • he took lessons with gilbert, genius....

  • hes fuckign 11 years old, how can you criticize an 11 year old for anything?

  • Where did you see the criticism ?

  • he's 13...watch his other videos...he says it. even so, this kid is a prodigy and should be signed immediately haha.

  • But the question is, who dont want to be as good as Paul?

  • pauls tone is even worse than this lol way too much treble..no balance

  • amen to qap614, shawn lane claims he had his technique down by about 16, this kid is almost there NOW, 4 or 5 years earlier than lane. He has the potential to raise the bar completely over the heads of lane/becker/govan whoever else you can think of. QUESTION: HOW THE $%(&* DO PEOPLE LIKE FUNTWO GET MORE FAMOUS THEN THIS KID?!?!?!??!?!?

  • this kid needs more recognition than he gets.

  • Dude he's 11 years old. If he keeps up at this pace he surely will be.His ability to string skip,chromatics and arpeggios, wicked alternate picking,blazing through wide intervals and running the gamut on on scales he's the real deal. I want to know if he was born in a test tube.

  • He got marshall walls and the sound is not beatter than that!?

  • All the other kids are playing freakin guitar hero..... Parents buy your kids real guitars.

  • im better

    NOT

  • No one and I mean NO ONE since Shawn Lane have I seen such incredible picking techniques and I really think he is better than Shawn was at this age. So articulate and accurate. Best I've ever seen 90% of guys 3 times his age he smokes and the other 10% percent he is equal with at 11 YEARS OLD!! A-F-KING MAZING!!

  • i wouldn't go that far he's hella good but not shawn lane good

  • i love paganinis 16 caprice

  • I just putted my guitars and amp on ebay... :O

  • its not about electric you fucking 8 year old. Quality comes from an instrument that has not been changed in thousands of years, not from a piece of wood wrapped in wires with a humbucker sucking up all those possibly awesome tones and spitting it out from a piece of shit made in china amp

  • someone's a little jealous that they can't do what he does..

  • bah.. what a jealous asshole..

  • So? Totally different styles. I bet the best finger style guitarists couldn't play stuff like this, that's not to say they are bad musicians.

  • And I bet if I give you an electric guitar you wouldn't be able to play like that.

  • I bet you have never played a musical instrument in you life and is illiterate in reading music

  • ''in you life and is illiterate in reading music''

    And you're illiterate period. -- Look, go in my channel, I have a video of myself playing guitar.

  • Watched your vid...good, but you are not 1/10th as good as this kid. He is light years ahead...

  • @DEATH2JIHADISTS

    Lol, I agree. I am not nearly as good as Anton, which is why I never talked about a comparison between him and me, in the first place. Thanks for saying I'm good haha. I am a drummer, not really a guitarist though. That is not to say that my skills in drumming are nearly as flawless as Anton's on guitar.

  • in my opinion he sounds way more clean then becker did when he was young, and becker did not have videos at this age 8-11 years....

  • THE NEXT JASON B.

  • im quitting guitar

  • yeah... we should stop watching guitar prodigies huh? XD well, it just means we all need to practice harder wih the standard raised THAT high!

  • Jason Becker would be proud

  • WTF..is this kid on! Nothing short of amazing except for his stature!

  • In a odd way it reminds me of jason becker?

  • Yep. Lets just hope the kid doesnt end up like Jason Becker, God bless him.

  • wow niccolo paganini caprice #16, i really just feel like giving up playing guitar.

  • I forgot which caprice this is :(

  • That amazing...:)

  • wow kick all american ass plz

  • hahaha

  • Fuck me sideways.... :-O

  • I like how he smiles and sort of celebrates himself along with the audience. He's one bad mutha and probably has no life outside of guitar, and that is awesome!!. I'm not slighting him. I think he's a very blessed and fortunate human being who found his calling at an early age. Now someone please advise this kid on how to dress!!

  • Paganini's Caprice #XVI in Gminor, nice!!!

  • Shawn Lane reincarnated

  • the next shawn lane paul gilbert all in one haha..

  • fuck that shit, in 10 years this kid is gonna eat them for breakfast. I guarantee neither shawn or paul was this godly at 11

  • he 12 and amazing!

  • Shawn definitely was...

  • The earliest video footage of shawn lane was when he was 16. I'm sure you already know this. So there is no way of knowing how good he was when he was 12. Just saying..

  • There are tons of clips that haven't been seen or heard by the general public. One of my father's friends was Shawn's best friend. He went with him to see UK with Holdsworth, the night Shawn started wanting to play that style. He also has tons of early recordings of Shawn, far more than have ever been posted. A lot of it is stuff when Shawn was really young.

  • Post some of it man. What are you doin holding out on everyone? haha

  • I know, ha. The thing is that he has the videos, and I've begged him to post them, but you know how that goes with some people, lol.

  • Shawn Lane is the greatest electric guitarist to ever walk the earth. BUT, there is absolutely no way Shawn was anywhere near this good at age 12. Not to mention that Anton played Paul Gilbert's 'Frenzy' FLAWLESSLY when he was only 8 years old.

  • No, Shawn was at this level at 12. Take my word for it....Regardless, they are both outstanding

  • i doubt shawn was this good when he was 12, but that's only because he started playing when he was 10. this kid could shred like a pro when he was 8 or something ridiculous like that, so he's probably been playing since he was 3 or something ridiculous like that (like govan)

  • 5 years old.

    If one puts the name "anton oparin" into Google Translate (English to russian, duh) and then does a search on the results, you can find all sorts of things.

    That's all I got to say about that.

  • Comment removed

  • Well, now you just went ahead and said something really silly... And you know it :P

  • well he doesn't quite yet but im sure he will

  • Come on...he doesn't have the sophistication of Govan. That's not to say that in a couple years he won't.

    I seriously doubt Oparin would be able to hold his own in a jazz improv session like Govan can. This kid is incredible and it would be absurd to expect him to be as creative as a musician as experienced as Govan.

    There's technical proficiency (which Oparin is overflowing with) and there's musicianship. I have no doubt that one day this kid will have plenty of both.

  • WTF is this kid human? seems like the second coming of christ

  • I think ur right, this kid is fucking god, haha, or he will be in 10 years

  • Holy hell

    His picking is like immense

    Doing clinics at 11!!!!!

  • He reminds me Jason Becker

  • WOW.... i wanna kill my self cuzz hes soo good

  • holy shit,

    just holy shit.

    his picking is insane.

    soooo fucking clean.

    fuck this kid, i'm jealous. lol

  • THE NEXT JASON BECKER??????? I think this kid is the best!!!!!

  • men !!! he plays it just like aviolinist just as fuckin clean !! , i mean you have a lot of good 11 year old pianoplayers but kids like this you don't see everyday ,I mean men !!! he is better than jason becker etc !! if he has a good fantasy for composing stuff later he will become the best guitar player ever thats for sure , and he is so down to earth no arrogance thats good

  • anyone pls tell me wat is the name of the song??

  • Paganini 24 Caprices NO. 16

  • He is God.

  • he must be the youngest guy to ever do a clinic.

    incredible.

  • nice playing. geeky smile!

  • amazing :O
