Not bad for 9 years old. Go Tallan!

[Vaxizable]

wtf how did this little shithead pass with fucking shit ass solo and Chay Vang not?

[JORDnYAN]

painful.

[dirtyrose420]

maybe Stevie Ray needed a body to come back into this world.. there u go

[achmedda3rd]

T MAN, T MAN!

[acperak]

nice, i can play too :) blues improvisation are not hard, u need to feel the music, and obviously practise,

However

i got inspired by kirk hammett and dimebag so, the solos/riffs are harder (for me) than the blues ones

Keep rocking dude

[ericspeed202267]

Just u wait till he oldenough 2 smoke bud then his real talent will shine just like all the great players

[unclechristy020]

get this kid a strat!

[ItsWesleyRyan]

he made that guitar sing

[TheRappingSquirrel]

wow they actually enjoy good music in america (im from britian we have a load of pop shit over here)

[ERKRAKANARB]

@TheRappingSquirrel nope, america is like that as well. I honestly think its global at this point

[DavidMason093]

@ERKRAKANARB and its a pain in the arse

[Leenja]

this kid has gone through a lot to play.

[joeytkd]

im amazed 0_0

[Gingerlord01]

look, this kid has been playing for OVER 4 years, and he plays well, yes, i must admit, he is good, BUT, he really only has as much views on his videos becasue of his age, There are hundreds of guitar players who have had as much experience as him, and can play as well as he can, how come we cant find them? because people seem to think age = talent. It does not at all.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@Gingerlord01 So true. The problem that goes along along with that is that young kids are made to believe that they are better than they really are, and then they grow up to be cocky pests.

[Gingerlord01]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX thankyou :) someone who agees :)

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@Gingerlord01 Let's just hope that this kid doesn't go down the same road.

[Gingerlord01]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX ino im assuming, but hes a 10 year old kid, with pretty much a career already, expensive guitars and probably minor fame...he's gonna be cocky as hell.

[ak47proshooter]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX haha, yes that's true. I know someone who when from a 50cc dirtbike to an YZ80 in 2 months and now he thinks he's chuck fuckin norris.

[goodman4301]

Well im 12 and I can play smoke on the water and im proud!

[YOUDUDE56]

This kid was on the news

[DaLoOoLaQ8]

Love The New Youtube Thingy ! THE REACTION!

[Ashbeat1209]

@redneckty132 really dude hes alredy got endorsements from fender and other guitar manufactures hes already got a career

[MrZpurd]

@redneckty132 Ahhhh i think somebodys jeleous :)

[HHaaaarruukkkkaa]

was this filmed with a calculator?



[MusicBombTV]

@HHaaaarruukkkkaa srry, i know ru trying to be funny but its not very funny

[MrZpurd]

@HHaaaarruukkkkaa No it is pretty funny, haha. See those haha's. theres your proof.

[JUSTINTRIPjl]

Lol at the guy who says he copies the face. It's like a natural instinct you can't even help it. Maybe if you weren't busy covering songs you'd know.

[thefaith110396]

Tallans got talent dam right

[eworldplaza]

I would have hated to be the next act,

[soohyunfanz]

not bad? man? bias!

[Founditinadumpster]

DAYUM im 14 and cant even play the riff at the beginning :O

[LoekSijbers]

I hate that this freakin' kid pulls these stupid faces, you can tell it's just copying it from the -REAL- guitar players, players that actually do have a personal style and actually play something that IS difficult to play...

[chahid1992]

@LoekSijbers this kid is 9 you retard most kids from doesnt even touched a guitar

[LoekSijbers]

@chahid1992

Retard?? First, learn some English... Second, there are way more talented young guitarists out there. For example look op "Sungha Jung", he's only 6 and has much more feel for the guitar and knows how to keep his tempo. And kids that age learn much quicker so why Tallan isn't any better yet is beyond me...

[hempknight6666]

I don't believe he is 9 because he did an interview in 2007 and he was 8

[Souledzeal]

@hempknight6666 dumb kid? if his birthday is after 2 months after this he is still 9.

[SusanTheChoosen]

@hempknight6666 He was probably about to turn ten.

[cristianpino]

@hempknight6666 Tallan Noble Latz (born September 22, 1999) . The vid was posted 15/07/2009, the calculation is easy...

PS: The boy is irrefutably a f**ing genious!!.

[theflubbybear]

@hempknight6666 it depends on the month too.

[851852093114208513]

Oh shit, a pentatonic scale?! How talented is this kid! It took me 10 minutes of repetition to be able to play like that!

[mithmaniac9]

@851852093114208513 ->is that your credit card number??

[851852093114208513]

@mithmaniac9 Sadly, no. You'll have to find it some other way...

[TheJBluver18]

@MangoFreakout22 Thats just gross

[jmonking67]

wow, he sure has talents. hes reall good. But i'm sorry i hate bluez.

[dimeowns100]

For playing for 4 years this is typical stuff, this isn't really THAT impressive tbh, apart form the fact he's 9 it's nothign out of th eordinary!

[ultrarunner0476]

@dimeowns100 i doubt you could even play that you troll. give the kid some credit.

[dimeowns100]

@ultrarunner0476 I do give the kid credit, i just think it's overly advertised

[MangoFreakout22]

well tallen, i bet you cant fart tik tok huh

[suicidedelinquent]

Cant wait to here this kid when hes older

[constipatedkangaroo]

i can fart the national anthem, now thats talent

[claptonstratgreen1]

ive been playing for a year and a half, and i thought i was good. Now i feel like im destined to play the triangle.....

[PSIboy66]

wierd thing is I learned those scales when I was 9 too. Oh well, one day. Great Job

[Katethepowerfox]

i saw this on tv 4 years ago

[imthedreamcatcher]

Jimmy Hendrix didnt even know how to play the guitar at 9

[HBzTV]

@imthedreamcatcher Not trying to kill your buzz but Jimmi Hendrix got his first guitar at 9 from his dad it was a

small $5 accoustic so you stand corrected

[Metallica032693]

That kid, just ripped them a new asshole with that solo

[Rocklegend953]

Damn he's really good. I've wanted to play guitar since I was nine lol. I've got a guitar but it's "in the corner" because I can't pay for lessons =[

[1990GuitarLover]

@Rocklegend953 do as i did about a year ago, get some books, look up some vids and learn it yourself.

you know, some of the greatest didn't take lessons...

[brownbigb]

@Rocklegend953 no he is not. he is super sloppy, even for his age. bad timing too.

[redwing104]

@Rocklegend953 just teach yourself mate :) get some books and look on the internet, its what i did and have been doing for 4 years now :)

[caincolesr]

Hey dad, your son has been reincarnated.My first guess would be Stevie, not sure though. Most grownups aren't aware of the fender bassman amps and he has A much older spirit than 9.

[3curvy]

damn!!!

[MySuperAwesomeShow]

Look all u fuckhole haters!! I no there's other great guitarist! But eTa great is the song he's playin!! By jimmy Hendrix!! Who coodnt play that good till his late teens early 20's!! So font say anythin bad about him cu u no it a jelous dick licker if u hate anyone who isn't scared to show their talent!!

[pbskl]

I just hope this kid doesn't get corrupted by the shitty popular music industry...

[mithmaniac9]

@pbskl lol I can imagine Tallan Noble Latz, Disney records ......

[braaaainz]

@pbskl based on the roots of his passion, i highly doubt it. this kid is going places.

[simplesnip3z]

@pbskl

Yeah, he should turn out like Justin Bieber.

[pbskl]

It is HILARIOUS how many jealous assholes are commenting on this. So the kid is using basic blues pentatonics...

1. Everyone starts somewhere.

2. He plays them with very impressive finesse, agility, and feel, ESPECIALLY given that he's nine years old and his guitar is bigger than he is.

3. Think how good this kid is gonna be in a decade... in two...

4. Many of the greats have relied and still rely on basic scales for most of their solos.

You didn't even own a guitar at nine. Suck it.

[awesomeo79]

no eric clapton what the hell kid or no bb king!?

[clarkied]

rich parents. couple of blues/pentatonic licks, retarded show & audience that would cheer a fat dude doing a rolly polly...no don't go tallan.

[MaXiMux87]

thumbing down the video, not the act

[Link00420]

No matter What either of you say its 2010 Find the music you like and move on My Favorite Type of music Is played by Synyster Gates Who Created his own sound i,m sure he had guitarist he looked up to but no of that matters now hes fuckin awsome new Genre Goth Rock with melody and harmonic solo's I,m just guessing

[LorenaAkaCams1]

omfg I met him face to face the other dayyy!!!!!!!!!

I got his autograph,

and i'm four years older than him but I look up to him instead of the other way around! :p

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

OMG PENTATONICS.

[licky1994]

i hope itsjust bad quiality or else this is shit

[bianchiniman]

ok he needs to get a better guitar or work on his techniques the guitar cut out ever two seconds and it was not the video

[Spyroyahoo]

@bianchiniman yeah.. it sounded "Scratchy" if you will.

[KAZO712]

@Spyroyahoo Ha kind of critical for a 9 year old who has played for 4 years ha

[massivebeatzz]

not bad for 9 years old...!!but not that great either....

[skkiittllezz]

i watched this show because of him but when they kicked him off and kept kids that couldn't sing that pissed me off

[xBLOODXfalcolnx]

nice lamp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VonKaNon]

Somewhere deep down inside this boy rests the sole of some the world's late great blues guitarists. I'm sure of it. I lived behind Alpine Valley when Stevie Ray Vaughan died in that helicopter crash. It was a sad day and the worst way for our area to be put on the world map, but when this kid played at Alpine Valley, it was like Stevie was there right with him. It made the hairs stand on end.

[TheGrerex]

that kid is amazing!!

[Bleezo420401]

So who is better him or Sungha Jung. It would somethin to see them jam together

[theoros1994]

at all videos tallan played with DBZ guitars !!!!

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

all of his inspirations are overrated as fuck

[heimtime3]

@PrepsAndEmosSuck overratted? sorry they aint nickelback fag. jimi hendrix and the band of gypsys at the fillmore is the best album of all time.

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

@heimtime3 nickelback is garbage, why would you assume I like them? im saying they're overrated my favorite guitarist is luca turilli and gabriel bianco. His inspirations are overrated

[heimtime3]

@PrepsAndEmosSuck jimi hendrix isnt overratted thats all im saying.

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

@heimtime3 what I mean by overrated is that when people say he is the best ever I disagree, I wouldnt even call him the most innovative, because all of his technique was things that were already invented. If I would say anyone was the most innovative guitarist ever I would say Chet Atkins (popularized the sweep picking technique or Les Paul (multitrack recording's inventor)

[heimtime3]

@PrepsAndEmosSuck his sound was innovative noone had a sound like jimi at the time. His sound was orig. and just because he didnt invent a technique doesnt mean he's overrated is he the best guitar player no but his sound was orig. and thats why he is such a big inspiration.

[80smetalchild]

@PrepsAndEmosSuck

hah the only ones that say hendrix is the best are little noobs who dont play guitar and listen to whatever their 60 year old parents say. i love jimmy dont get me wrong but steve vai? paul gilbert? jari maenppa? these are the kings of this day and age

[JetSpiegel88]

@80smetalchild First of all, Jimi*. Secondly, Jimi had talent and vision beyond any guitar player to walk the earth. Gilbert, Satch, Vai, they're all astounding players in their own rights, but there is only one GREATEST. And that's Mr. Hendrix.

[80smetalchild]

@JetSpiegel88

see you're treating it like its a fact. and thats what i find annoying. its an opinion, and while jimi was one of the first to master the guitar, the guitar players ive mentioned have taken it to new heights. but thats onl my OPINION.

[Toony678]

@80smetalchild

You're a 80s metal child...so yeah okay if you wanna here fucking lightning fast shredding, And straight forward technique then fine listen to Satch, Gilbert and all those other fucking robot guitar players that get boring to listen to after awhile because its all the same fucking repeative arpeggio bullshit.

Without Jimi Satch wouldn't have even picked up a guitar nuff said. He is the father of those fucks and they aren't fit to do much more than tune his fucking guitar.

[PrepsAndEmosSuck]

@Toony678 hendrix is horrible compared to most modern guitar players, stop being a hendrix whore

[80smetalchild]

@Toony678

ur a fucking dumbass. gilbert does far more than just arpeggios and satch has mastered the blues that jimi was so good at. i think ur the robot for just saying what everyone else says. they say "jimi is the best ever" move on. theres better players out there now a days and its a fact. i dont see u saying who influenced jimi. does that mean that he would be the greatest? NO so shut the fuck up u dumbass

[Toony678]

Jimi is the father of modern day rock guitar period. I don't think he's the best I think he's the most influential...only stupid 80s metal heads like you know who fucking Paul Gilbert is...and every single one of the shredders on your list give props to JH. You need to learn some fucking respect...every body whose opinion matters in music will tell you Jimi changed the guitar forever...he was the one to took it from just and instrument to back up singers to something that can lead a band.

[80smetalchild]

@Toony678

u dont know shit about the music i like. im not an "80s metalhead" thats just my screen name. ye i too love jimi, him being a big influence of mine. its as simple as this: HES NOT MY FAVORITE

[soupin78]

its so sad that they sent him home :(

[netowner666]

im so jealous right now, that kid's got great talent, let's hope he never gets tired of playing guitar

[baldandold]

he didnt mention gary moore......lol

[FingersTucker]

I still can't beleive he didn't make it to the finale....

[ruidml]

shut your mouths up he is the best

[LuisMetalKid]

im watching this now... because the tv station that carries the local version of agt asked me to audition and i invited them to one of my gigs instead. he's good.

[BluesJazzClassical]

its just simple penotonic scale...but i guess thats pretty good for his age.

[weekevfaetroon]

For 9 years old this boy is awesome!

[hxcmexi]

this kid aint fucking great!!! he's an ok player but not good or great!!

[ThePHxyc]

you've no clue what you're talkin about.

if you'd listen to blues and jazz you'd know thats tops.

[hxcmexi]

@ThePHxyc

I actually do!! Thats why i'm saying that aint nothing!!!

[machinefuckinghead86]

You're wrong. He is a good player, especially for his age.

And dont bother arguin with me cos im right and you clearly dont know what you're talking about. Fact.

[hxcmexi]

@machinefuckinghead86

dude, blues is a simple pattern of easy scales.

[machinefuckinghead86]

@hxcmexi

Dude, i've played guitar for over 12 years, i really dont need some any man tellin me what blues is.

I dont think hes a great player, but he is good.

The end.

[hxcmexi]

@machinefuckinghead86

well we've been playing for the same time.

[mortimer2100]

@hxcmexi

it depends on how you use those scales

[hxcmexi]

@mortimer2100

Not really!

[mortimer2100]

@hxcmexi

your right that blues is a simple pattern of easy scales but you would only be right if someone was boring with those pentatonic (blues) scales. someone who takes time to construct a solo that dosent involve playing the scale straight up and down can produce an awesome non boring solo.

[mattguitarist72]

@hxcmexi

I bet you he is gonna be a hell of alot more successful at it than you are, not to mention a hell of alot better by the time hes, i dont know 12 maybe

[hxcmexi]

@mattguitarist72

If and only IF he sticks to it. He might get bored later. He might quit and do something else. So you cant really say that. :)

[GuyFromOdessa]

id punch that kid for being so good :P

[lovelovejun19]

9 years old!! hes like a prodigy!!

[Juribe17]

hes playing a dbz guitar which are realy expensive

[TENGKUOAIDIL]

is playing a les paul?

[eticom1]

No he is playing a dean soltero, I think!

[Logankeller352]

OMG ATTACK OF THE BLUES SCALES! NOOOOO

[CodyRicheson]

@Logankeller352, yeah, I find it funny how people go crazy hearing an altered pentatonic scale. The kid is good but being young and doing what's been done a million times before isn't exactly awe-inspiring.

[madbash7]

@CodyRicheson T-Man was invited to play with Paul at age of 8. Not many people can say that they have done that. But yes he's not as good as the legends. He got a bright future as long as stay focus. Check out the vids at TManLatz.

[justinchancellor]

@Logankeller352 Yeah check out Treyo Clai Band Paul Zettler the guitarist reps this kid and will any day as a good buddy of mine if this kid were to face Paul any day his career would be over.

[yousuperpussy]

yeah this kid was sucking it up.... but whatever apparently if you're still a little kid and can take a shit you've got "talent"

[Bmeinemusic]

I know tallen, i live right by him. I play guitar with him, and hunter n, all the time

[hiitsmcjosh]

wow, he's playing a $6000 guitar...

[EaglesAllDay3]

@hiitsmcjosh He is sponsered by many different guitar brands and if believed to be the future of blues

[1dummofo]

@hiitsmcjosh even crazier... he is indorsed by dean :O

[Transane]

@hiitsmcjosh he plays it better than most people in the world

[hiitsmcjosh]

@Transane No, I disagree.

[Transane]

@hiitsmcjosh tell that to the sponsors who gave him that guitar.

[hiitsmcjosh]

@Transane If you think he plays guitar better than most people in the world, you are an idiot. He got the guitar from DBZ because he's popular and well known in his area.

[Transane]

@hiitsmcjosh actually, most people in the world DO NOT play guitar. so, your an idiot simply because you failed to realize that. and josh; your not so amazing yourself. not to mention this kid is half your age. so stop being a douschbag, and enjoy this kids obvious skill.

[shawno97]

@hiitsmcjosh he won that guitar on some show though...

[ikag13]

this kid is the shit

[bdybnder]

Americas got talent are a bunch of money hungry shit eatin monkeys who can't see a great talent when it kicks em in the nuts.

I don't have anything good to say about the group that's worth words.

This man has got soul.

[TheMusicman28]

FUCK OFF ddNickbb ... FUCK OFF

[TheChaosTheorySounds]

this kid is freakin amazing,

[brianmuntz]

Simon Cow is an idiot. This kid could win the whole contest on AGT. Political?????

[KatieRR1995]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooo!

[killamaster0]

he got kicked off in vegas

[TheHockeyplayerJD]

why did they vote him off that was a bad decision

[epeemstr316]

what are you talking about? all the judges gave him a thumbs up. he's goin to vagas

[TheMusicman28]

this kid kicks older guitar player's ASS!!!

[ddNicKbb]

relax man...:P:P
