Canon Rock in D (age 14 - Satriani enthusiast)

[havenas1020]

[ThatJohnnyKid]

@havenas1020 The guitar was built to specs and given to me by my sponsor, Inspire Guitars. It is a great guitar.

[ZombieWormsInc]

[wookatashproductions]

Wow... You are an amazing guitarist! And the fact that you are a loyal Christian at the same time just blows my mind away. You are a HUGE inspiration for me! And honestly, I personally think your version of Canon Rock is the best out of all the other ones out there! Keep it up! :)

[ThatJohnnyKid]

@wookatashproductions Thanks for your encouragement! I am honored to be an inspiration. Hopefully other believers will enjoy my playing as much as you do. Thanks again - Johnny

[perdidoenmar]

[greetingfrommars]

Just got Johnny's album "Red Sky" from iTunes. It is completely rockin'.

[GreenAshR46]

That''s cool, man. It's always fun to listen to different people's interpretation of the tune. Gives you a chance to make your own personal statement.

[soapgirl12]

this kids got some money.

[Eikichi1990]

@soapgirl12 some...

[TheDodger56]

Epic.

[TheMsKatieBeth]

1. Canon in D is dreadful.

2. This arrangement does NOTHING to improve it.

[PixieGiggles33]

Amazing rendition! I want to play a version like this for my wedding some day. LOL

[GuitarNovice100]

Beats me as to why this genius has only 11k views.. great job buddy!!!

[TMASONW]

i hate you

[NineTailsDemonFox]

funny how this audio has been laid to track with video of people pretending to play this music.

[bbazzeel]

:O ora verga

[words1maker]

Good Play !!



[manugs1789]

WAOOOOOOO AMAZIIIIIIING, GOOD JOB!!!

[rbwdash8]

Very Good!!! I see a lot of talent in you! I enjoyed that very much! I look forward to more from you.

[swifty0707]

Good version there Johnny, can u tell me wot haronics u played at 0:47 and 2:06? Cool little twist

[IrishLebaneseBeast]

...do you write any original music...?

[ThatJohnnyKid]

@IrishLebaneseBeast Yes. Check out my other videos. I also have many original songs I still need to record.

[IrishLebaneseBeast]

[guilhermealles]

Nice equipment man ;)

[blrug]

Simply fantastic

[0oo0oooo0]

POOHHHH!!!! This boy is a genius!! Awesome!

[oibl88]

4:12 look a his weird face, O.o?

[Llynok]

He doesn't look like he's enjoying himself very much.

It's about the music mate, not regurgitating. 

[MarshmallowEyes]

Now he can work in pop music.

[XANDERXXZ]

hes clearly just got somone standing behind him playing the guitar for him.

[Dellazice]

@XANDERXXZ  No, wait I have a better one. It's photoshopped.

[blrug]

@XANDERXXZ It must be nice to know everything.

[XANDERXXZ]

@blrug are being sarcastic?

[blrug]

@XANDERXXZ I are much be sarcastic. Nice grammar by the way.

[malanpen]

Very cool, nice to see a young person chasing his dream. Way to go Johnny!!!!

[wanttolaugh201]

Man, whenever my will to play and learn guitar is gone, I come and listen to this...

I can't wait until the day I'll be able to play this.

[cmonguyman]

35 years old and Too embarrassed to even pick my Guitar up now...!!!!!!!  Been playin' since i was 14 too..! and never got nowhere close to this.

[GriffinGold]

*Inspired*

[iamcervantes4life]

do you have xbox live? just askin. cuz i think if you play guitar hero, he can like get 100% on like all songs on expert

[jimmy1842]

ну нихрена ж себе

[fenixmaker]

very nice but still think Mattrach is better

[kurisu7885]

Always admired this.

[monkeyrobot]

[MilkshakeMarathon]

Like I said I can never play that good :O

[Retauros]

Amazing!!

[p00pdawg]

Wow! And he's not asian..

[rymcmanus]

I gret tired of these covers very fast. I would rather see something original done somewhat well than the same thing "nailed" a million times. sure, it sounds kickass and what not, but really...

[samarasayshi]

can you play at my wedding? :D

[nayelivaz]

awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[chuckylee25]

*jaw drop* AMAZING!!! :)

[atsumoristar]

Awesome, i never get tired of these covers.

Oh, and does anyone else think he looks like a young Christian Bale?

[Rasenvue]

stambled

[cmougey]

How does a 14-year-old end up with what looks like ten thousand dollars of recording equipment? Not to mention the expensive video camera and mics?

[mtn29er]

@cmougey Who cares? His dedication and talent is self-evident - He could play the hell out out of a $5 plastic guitar.

[bexxyrexxy]

@cmougey from his sponsor, it says so in the description

[knightsintodreams]

So is Johnny's parents bet on the Sox in the 2004 world series? how rich ARE they? the kid's got Mad talent and Mad gear

[sliverazuria]

for a kid with a comb-over, you can really play that guitar. keep it up kid, you're great!

[Dav1dWesley]

Absolutely fantastic. You rock Johnny.

[gaaraxdancing]

One person doesn't like this. Wow.

[STEVEEBEE]

i dont care how old this guy is 8, 18, 80, i just wanna see how good they are, and this guy is damn good, good job.

[FierceCerilf]

Racism! Whats wrong with 14 Years Old?

That isnt going to make you popular.. Dont say you have 14 for beeing popular, just play your guitar

[oistagoimp]

@FierceCerilf shutup dude

[FierceCerilf]

@oistagoimp

Haha, no

He can make famous without saying he's 14 years old :D

[FierceCerilf]

You are good :D

[12poloboy]

can you teach me how to do that kind of riffs??

[jimmyvanscyoc]

wow hes good he is up there with jerryc con grats

[SoCalize]

and they say our youth is going to trash because of video games and pot... show me a kid in the 30's that couldve done this... although alot of it is because of the evolution of music still!

[wingeddemon5807]

makes it look easy

[nanastiek]

if this vids gets 50million+ views, i can say i was 1 of the first ones who've saw it :D

[ivanpetstar]

Can this guy smile???? or like give any emotion? he looks so sad :(

[ivanpetstar]

@ivanpetstar cough he can play badass guitar

[TutorTobe]

@greetingfrommars His not better than funtwo :P.. Do you think this kid can come up and play with Joe Satriani? I don't, i don't like his style. And i mean his a little freaking egoist, HAVE YOU EVER seen him in the real world. His a little egoist, i like them there don't say:''I'm awezome to guitar!''.

[StickGuitarMan]

@greetingfrommars haha, no not really, maybe when he's older

[theblackmanOyeah]

paul gilbert- technical difficulties, LETS SEE IT BUD

[angaz21]

Nice

[jrny2scssYT]

@angaz21 Amazing talent! This kid has a future with the guitar.

[theblackmanOyeah]

now do soothsayer... HA

[TheRickJarrett]

@theblackmanOyeah your a faggot i hate you

[theblackmanOyeah]

@TheRickJarrett

count it! score....

[XaNeChaoz]

I think its alittle stiff

dont get me wrong, ur a great guitarist, just put a little more emotion in it.

its techincally perfect, but its boring to listen to cause it sounds like a machine

please dont think im hatin on this just trying to give some advice

[Oajng]

@XaNeChaoz what do you expect? lol, want him running around the room hitting his guitar against the wall at the end? IMO its fine as it is.

[XaNeChaoz]

@Oajng if uve seen mattRach play, he makes alot of faces speeds up slows down and accents stuff, tahts wat i meen

[Oajng]

@XaNeChaoz Is that really necessary for good music though? again, IMO its fine as is

[XaNeChaoz]

@Oajng

for good technique, no, but its kinda boring ot listen to

[Johnpjc1985]

fantastic

[bakedbean1232]

Needs more views for sure!

[AcousticNoise]

Someone needs to give that man a klondike bar. Lol, but seriously, that is freaking amazing. Kid, I'm eighteen, I've been playing for five years. I wish I had a quarter of the technical skill you do. I give you mad props. Keep rockin'!

[Gawood]

Wow -- awesome, Johnny!!! Another amazing performance!

[KittycatWrangler]

Great job!

[xtracooltech]

Excellent... gives me hope...

[Nasreth]
