7 year old plays "Death Letter Blues" on a Republic Resolian guitar

[radane23]

Parabéns, continue assim.

[CarpeVolante]

The last few seconds were just... godlike.

[alcarbuccia]

kid man!! go slow the blues takes time!!

[gsaskue]

38 people are jerks!  Awesome job!

[ghostfires]

he's seen some troubles in his time

[Awgez24]

Cool until a noticed he was a left >.>

Idk man, something about lefties.

I guess if Hendrix could do it, he could.

[prox147]

damn i wish i could play that good and im 24, good job man

[Euph0ricacid]

your a legend already kid. all i suggest to you though (if music is your passion) is to carry on with a genre you like (maybe blues) and create. it is hard but more woth it then just covering (and it does get easyer).

[ShreddyGnarGnar]

@Euph0ricacid it's a good thing you were here to tell this 7 year old to stop covering old blues songs and start writing his own songs. Without you he might never have grown out of the cover phase - totally stagnating his music career.

[rockhead261]

Holy shit... Devo meets the Blues!

[LoveHateJonathan]

"blues is easy to play, but hard to feel"

still.. he kicks ass on guitar.

[emperor270885]

the first left handed blues player

[uncleboogie69]

Lefties are the Best.......Kid..Keep it up..:) awesome

[YoungsManner]

ha ha i wasnt tryin to be offensive i just thought it might help

[YoungsManner]

someone teach him how to hold a guitar



[spinthethinker]

@YoungsManner someone teach you to shut up!! this wee guy could whip your ass!

[sugarnads]

@YoungsManner

if he held it properly he wouldnt be able to reach the end of the neck

in other words he couldnt play it as nicely as he does...

were you this good when you were 7

[YoungsManner]

@sugarnads i never played guitar till i think 17 or so, it doesn't matter how old you are or how good you are music is music and its all based on an experience that we are all blessed to be apart of

[shellnkev1]

Holy!

[anthony57719]

I watched Tiger Woods as a Three year old on some late night talk show. And now this kid I'm just saying.. Play on.

[BabyyGirllHalii]

this kid will be great one day mark my words

[Vengeance31]

Is this Bob Dylan's son?

[Pestashios]

Gonna be a star....!

[JoeJack87]

Damn kid!!! Far out

[LtCrunch42]

Also a bit sharp at 1:05 and 2:22 but still awesome.

[DukeSecom]

@LtCrunch42 its blues, its allowed to have mistakes

[LtCrunch42]

I have no idea what he's singing but his guitar playing makes up for it times 20!

[manitoban3]

Talk about natural talent...

[moidamir]

@manitoban3 with a guitar like that in his hands it would seem like someone is teaching him.

[dee1545]

kid is good he can play slide blues guitar better then i can

[mnovo73]

Kudos little man, kudos.

[334491global]

nice goin' little man

[HorrorMonday]

if i'll ever have kids i would love them as talented as you :)

[troscadoodle]

the 36 people that disliked this video are just jealous of this kid...

[Blueskathy]

boy, he sure is feeling it !!!!

[TheCirtas]

guitar great, voice colour is poor, but he cant do anything with that ;-) keep going bro, youre great

[300daysandnights]

this kid is great!!! Usually I can't stand these kinds of videos with kids trying to play songs they're parents like. But dammit this kid is good. He seems like he actually loves the blues. Which is awesome.

[sheckieshpilka]

33 dislikes!!! WTF! Great job young one.

[JohnnyGrass]

Awesome!

[SilverSkitterscuttle]

Much respect Roman. Forgive the tendency of adults tom advise-but just keep searching for the quiet feeling & passion behind the music, that crazy nameless feeling of pain, pleasure & transcendence (rising above).

[MrSoullicker]

the hand is quickerthen the eye....sure is....?fools

[CRACKEDxUPx83]

WTF?!?!?!?! it took ME FUCKING 2 MONTHS TO FUCKING PLAY THAT :'[

[realnig17]

damn really

[samsjm11]

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???????????????

[fraziermusic]

What blues does he have to sing about?

Well maybe that the guitar is bigger than him, and is playing him more than the other way around. Give him a few years, till he can play it without having to worry about dropping it :)

Kid's got talent, can't wait to see it blossom.

[MrZaf12]

pretty cool !

[MrTravisHrtn]

Stellar



[kevindlinc]

That's right on!!!

[Juviex]

The Blues is alive!!!

[ShenSpirit]

For everyone here hating or criticizing this amazing kid because (a) he's not an old black guy and therefore has no blues to sing about, or (b) he's playing a kind of music you don't like or don't understand, here's something you maybe can get: It's about the MUSIC. If somewhere inside yourself when you hear this music you hear something in it that speaks to you, that tells you you have to play it, and at 7 you can pick up a guitar and nail it, you've touched the divine, and f--- all y'all.

[deltabluesdavidraye]

i first met roman at clarksdale miss. 2 years ago what talent , wow when he gets old enough for his vocal to fill out the world will have to watch out. his parents seem very supportive and understanding. on the likes and dislikes well this proves that there are 28 morons that currently inhabit the web!

[mackmobeel43]

Mother: Navin, it's your birthday, and it's time you knew. You're not our natural-born child.

Navin R. Johnson: I'm not? You mean I'm gonna STAY this color?

[voodoovow396]

good kid 4 his age, but GAYYYYY song, he sduh learn metal >:)

[deltabluesdavidraye]

@voodoovow396 metal what the hell if ypu dont get this i am so sorry for ya.

[torgledpwert]

@voodoovow396 Dickhead.

[KeniLeeBurgess]

Oh, I don't know...starting em off down that long dirt road kinda early...don't ya think? LOL Nice choice on the fiddle. Fine performance. Thanks for sharing. Stay out of the Juke Joints boy! Happy Holidays. Enjoy.

[judeseamus]

Hipster kids can't have the blues!!!

[webusecom]

@judeseamus i'm with you, great playing though

[JeremyMoar]

clearly he cut his brother in half and learnt the blues

[tglind1]

Sure, it's probably scripted with his dad, or mom, giving him the lessons, but there are times when it almost looks like he is into it. Good news.

[mackmobeel43]

@tglind1 He is totally into it

[deltabluesdavidraye]

@tglind1 Seriously this child saw a country style bluesman one time and started waking in the middle of the night upset because he was white and not blind by the age of four i think he was hitting a good lick it is all his doing , this kid has a mind that can focus like a laser beam, just raw focus andtalent it is what he lives for no one asked him to do this.

[Jacobiskoby37]

I thought I hated my generation, I guess I was wrong :')

[townofed]

The boys a legend.

[nuimage37]

this kid got talent!

[JimiChristopher]

Brilliant! Hope you keep up the blues!

for the haters .. perhaps he's got the blues for son house.

[MrWhiskeytangofoxtro]

Amazing! Keep it up young man! You are being raised well! Kudos to Mom and Dad!

[Wezz1985]

open tuning..... :)

[yenbadcito]

i love how his signing is slurred and i cant make a word out of it, like the old delta blues guy. but seriously roman you rock!

[boozeesurfs1]

i just threw my guitar on the ground and bought a 3 wheeled"oldman"bike !! i quit !! godblees his little ass!!!

[scottwasson]

This kid is feeling what it took me 30 years to feel. Fuck hardship. Fuck blues in your life. At least this kid feels the music.

[R0b1zzle137]

I like what i see! Now you just gotta leave him on a freight train and let him learn the rest on his own!

[STL30]

Goodness little man, don't stop pickin!

[85bpm]

Hell I'd sing with him!!!

Alannah Myles

=@=

[Fruscianteistheman]

YES. PARENTING WIN!  MASSIVE WIN.

[GuitarSlimJunior]

Hey Roman... you got another fan.

[Jirkakrbe2]

super

[dhaeze]

Did daddy teach him all this?

[themanitasdeplomo]

The only emotion I have now is jealousy. He will grow up to be a true boss!

[jfreakmp7]

Robert Johnson came back as a white boy!!!

[crassazell]

WOW Guitar God in the making

[onlinemanifesto]

Very interesting!

[TheGruntHarmonic]

Quit The Singing, But Keep on Playing Son.☺

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

@TheGruntHarmonic Plus he;s only a kid. like 7 year olds voices usually kind of have a weird speech problem to them so singing might sound funny for him right now. his voice will develop sometime and probably sound better

[pinalo2009]

great, keep it up! but i see moon and stars, hmmm? wow!! now i see a monarch butterfly MK ultra, you can never get hold of my mind now,, haha!

[MusikkIzMiLiffee]

Real beastt kidd this is! he's awesome if only he was my age he would be so hot haha guys playing guitar.. damnn lol

[MrALRAED]

woow You have a bright future

[hurley149100]

This just blew my mind, the way it started was just completely perfect. Preach brother PREACH

[JCNEAL20]

stick to the guitar, but keep up the good work =)

[spencerredgateedits]

this kid aint got the blues

[sloppyrobot85]

Mad skills buddy!

[DrEllisCO]

I feel sorry for this kid, his dad probably forces him to do this, .... that's something to sing the blues about....

[comfortjjc]

NOISE

[vampireacap]

you got to flow the blues with your soul, not pushing it.

[MrGrammartroll]

Uh oh. Sumthin' is inside that boy and it gots to get OUT!!!

[TheSwedishRider]

well, probably this kid doesn't know what he sings about. Obviously, this kid doesn't suffer! Who has the right to blame him for being 7 years old and well off? This kid uses his whole body to play, he's enthusiastic and plays a hell of a guitar. Let's face it, most grown up musicians get over educated and loose their native aproach to music. THIS kid plays plays it because he LOVES it, and that makes a good musician. Go on Roman and don't let anybody buy you!

[MrScottJJohnson]

Seriously, fuck all you people disliking this video.

[cardoz0rz]

what blues does he have to sing about?

[rah93012]

@cardoz0rz

oh my puppy... he won't come home no mo' -*guitar plays

[Rasbiff]

@cardoz0rz

"Ah woke this mornin'

[Danofstockport]

[dad1001]

@cardoz0rz Ain't got no peanut butter for my sandwich blues. Got stuff, this kids has!



[MrHappy818]

@cardoz0rz music is all about feeling, and maybe someone needs to remind you that kids can feel and express emotions too.

[jacksondemarre]

@cardoz0rz Everybody has some of the Blues.

[cardoz0rz]

@jacksondemarre that's not what a bluesman would say. lolol

[T3hTroll]

@cardoz0rz someone stealing his crayons

[Tiramisumandeln]

[MrMarkvl1]

It's look like death'!!! ;)

[WaffleTheAlmighty]

@YeahRWJForEver Are you deaf?

[fantasyleague0629]

Future Black Keys?

[gracefulfish]

When where how?  Who taught this child? At what age did they begin? Did somebody just hand him a guitar and point him at youtube, or what?

[PsychedelicElectric]

Off the hook ... this kid is good ... seven! "Proof your never too young to sing the blues..."

[2Funky4me]

you're doing it right, son! let the blues flow.

[dmundi87]
