13 year old guitarist plays sweet child o mine

[nocalsteve]

This is the best Sweet Child o'Mine guitar instrumental on youtube.

[devilantony100]

Siiiiiick kiiiid

[mindlesspuppet94]

nailed

[SyPer84]

drummer sucks but the kids sick lol

[fingerflyer]

one note up but still awesome im still debating weather its fake or not but ey if it is nice faking many people thought it was real. if it wasnt damn good job man

[saviola01]

very nice :) keep up the good feeling ;)

[the0901nate]

Watch Nate Delaney play this, hes 13 too, watch the difference.

[kleistss]

@the0901nate

this sounds alot better

[the0901nate]

Watch Nate Delaney play this song, hes 13 too, check out the difference.

[sockmonkey8898]

Lol bumblebee vibrato.

[gourihello]

Awesome work, young man! My 10 year old plays guitar really well and I'm going to show him this video to see what's possible!

[Papachulo57]

That was freakin' AWESOME !!!

[Raiden1699]

@mister929rr Agreed. Your supposed to play because you love it, smile once in a while :)

[mister929rr]

That kid was awesome but jeez, crack a smile or something. At least pretend you are having fun.

[MrNoMoreFun]

I think it would be better if you had the tone on your guitar on rythem.

BTW great job!!!!!!!!!!=)

[Phanotrey]

Thats mclovins guitarist? he is EPCOT

[guyafrancois]

Much better than to sit in front of a computer screen all day. Way to go son!

[nocalsteve]

@Dark15850 But apparently English is difficult.

[martinpwilliams]

HOW CAN HE NOT BE PLAYING IT RIGHT!! all music is open to interpretation and this person,regardless of age has done an AMAZING interpretation of this song using his own skills and emotions,Slash doesn't play this note for note everytime! that's what makes him AND this guy here musicians and not copiers of tab books!

[bahamut3014]

@martinpwilliams Dont care about them... Those who say he does not play right are just a bunch of jealous losers that spend all their time on youtube...

[chris18152]

JEEEZ hes not even playin it right !!!!!1

[nocalsteve]

@chris18152 He's playing the vocal melody on the guitar along with the lead guitar parts, so shut the EFF up! It's called an instrumental, notice there's no singer?? Idiot!

[pergroda]

he is 13? that is even impressive for that age...

[yuvalo1]

Cool one =]

playing with old people xD

[NFSundrgrnd]

damn hes good i know that song but not at that extremety



[HopefulSomebody]

at first i was like this is fake due to the camera's wierd jumpiness, but then i saw how he changed his picking style to fit the riff at 0:42

[theNAVOTASandNASH]

next time leave the 13

[lily0467]

Sweet child o'mine was easy for my Brother and he have 7years old .....

[aprilligon]

Awesome! Keep playing! We;ll see you on the big screen someday!

[aprilligon]

Awesome job! I turned my speakers up really loud and jammed with ya! My kids thought I had lost it:) Keep playing kiddo, you're gonna be somebody big someday!

[hoichungliu]

wtf is dis shit go eat fukin crap

[michaeldemasi]

fkn mental kid nice man

[johnnyutah1976]

sky is the limit for this kid..

[xxxWAYNELxxx]

There are so many haterssss. Geezus.

[ledzep6995]

guys, it was real. I was at the performance, he played a bunch of jazzy bluesy jams too. Jeff freakin shreds, its not fake. If you don't believe me, go search up the Mclovins on youtube, their a band he's in now. Then tell me he's fake

[booman34]

Norris ,Even if the tone is fucked up .Give the kid some credit .He plays the notes right on its just the tone is off . Hes still great for 13.

[IIMaddyGII]

i cant tell u played the whole song 1 note too high or 2 notes too high but watever

[klunkter]

@IIMaddyGII Too high compared to the original studio version? Or do you mean he's out of key with the band? They can play the song at whatever key they want. It's tuned down a half step or something, and these guys just probably played it in standard.

[maxreaper25]

a little fast.....

[kooijd]

Lol fake, camera zoom keeps skipping and so his hands going up and down the neck

[BradWest96]

He's got tiny ass fingers for a 13 year old. Fucking great playing, though.

[mandsriley]

check out themclovins website

[mandsriley]

This is not fake. He's now in a great band...the McLovin's.

[ScarredHand]

ITS not fake. It's all good. it's all real ...dont mind the doubters. 1:46 would show the consistency.

[Ilovepickles667]

I believe it is fake also,I saw him stop playing and the music was still playing,So fake no offence kid.

[GirlsRule125x]

wow

[allanjim3]

The kid is 13 and shredding...anyone that has any beef with this video-I hope it's just about the lack of Audio/Visual preparation. The kid has better game than the adults recording him. They were new to this; the kid was true to this. Keep going boy...when it stops being fun AND you're not getting paid? Then u gotta decide. Peace,

Teddy Ben Sailin

[coolwhip97]

nice dude

[internetexplorer92]

Isnt this guy like 18 now?

[5150sickboi]

its not fake u doouche bag dont talk shit cuz u suck

[clevewalker1]

its fake and i sucks my 3 year old cousin plays better than that

[guitarplayerzzz]

FAKE!!!

[gitchigoomi]

It's fake. It has the obvious stutter of a film from which frames have been removed, or moved around.

[pyromask]

FAKE i agree with SuperSmulan92

[SuperSmulan92]

yeah, would say it's fake...just look at his unnatural twitchy movments and "too fast" slides...definitely sped up via youtube

[spacedude101]

@SuperSmulan92 no mate its called a crap camera

[templer189]

first of all does he know scales chords or any of that second im 12 i play this song like its easy and im not prodigy there are plenty of kids starting these days younger then me and u

[ThorCollins]

@templer189 dude, i can not believe that you can play this song on guitar, when i went on your channel you were playing that dragonforce crap and you really suck. I, however can play sweet child o mine, stuck on the fast part of the solo but im getting it, though, this kid here, he ruined the song.

[zakky3000]

are you guys fuckin stupid he was playing the guitar to sound like the words and it live of coarse its fast do you know the adrenaline in your body i like it these dumb asses dont know what they are talking about keep rockin lil kid

[cheeseball13246]

not bad. not bad at all. i like how he didnt play it note for note of the real song but i like the gnr version better

[MrPopicel]

fake!!!the song was played slower, and on youtube you raised the speed>:P

[kona6495]

@MrPopicel yea i agree. does look a bit to quick on slides....

[IceColdYeti]

@MrPopicel i think its fake to.. the real song dsnt sounds like that at all and i dont think that u really tune ur guitar that bad o.O so u speeded up the song that acsurly not is that hard anyways...

[halo3fanK26spartin]

yea make ur muisic im 11 and will rock that muther fucker

[RacingRocks12]

Thats how good i hope to be. Just got my first guitar... last year. Im O.K, but your amazing. Keep it up! (and get a better amp/synthesizer) 5star

[MrDrumSKATE]

Wooooow! This kid isnt incredible at guitar! :O He NEEDS a cookie! - 5 Stars!

[super7o]

he has got it good the playying part but the distortion aint that great

[BlackThorn190]

hes 13, stop braggin n shit sayin ur 13 yr old is better.... he did great so stfu assholes. stop puttin people down.

[spacedude101]

yo guys he's thirteen i think he did good

the solo was crazy but he did good so back it in skittin him

btw u guys saying "my thirteen year old guitarist is better" wtf wot are u PIDOES

[Arowanaification]

Just Fine... ROCK ON

[BassDude50000]

my 13 year old guitarist could blow him away

[jarek928]

i'm 13 and i can play wayy better

[xrongor]

prove it. someone in your trailer park must have a video camera...

[danielcaetano15]

rofl the guitar is bigger than him xD

[rgibnz320]

yea, the solo is messed up. btw if its so easy, you should post a video so we can compare. The hardest is the solo, which i have been playing 2 years and i still cant get it all.

[ReevzieRayVaughan]

pretty good but gets annoyin the hammerin on and pullin off of the same two notes kinda over used if u no wot i men

[Stonemeister]

Didn't hit a single fucking note. Next time, try playing it tuned down a half step like it should be played.

[liverpoolmercurial]

i can play this and im only 13 its not hard haha but yes he is f#cken awesome

[itsJacklynn]

This same kid is now 15 and in a band called The McLovins

search them on youtube and you definately wont be disappointed, ive seen them live about 3 times, and theyre awesome

[danielcaetano15]

yea dont be disapointed of a fucking covers band that cant fucking create their own musics... lol

[talicafy]

i can play this song but not as good as him

[AngryTurtleProd]

Yeah guys, if you say this song is not hard or this kid sucks at guitar, why don't you guy learn it, post a video on youtube and then we'll talk. Who cares. He's 13. Alot better then probably 99% of you flamers

[753frog]

And also, he's not 13 anymore, he's 15. And about 10 times better than when this video was taken. He is now the guitarist for the McLovins. Search them here and see some of the originals he plays, then decide for yourself whether he's any good or not.

[GuitarSK8boarding]

I'm 13, and I posted a cover of me playing this song when I was 12. I'm a lot better now, but don't play that genre of music now, so I'm not posting a new video of it. Look at my video. Does it say anything about 12 year old playing guitar? No. I'm a guitarist that wants to be judged based on my ability, not age. This kid claims to be good based on age, not talent. That song is frickin easy!

[hendrix1809]

lol thats easy song u suck

[5uicide5ilence]

Wow you guys are some really tough critics... I don't remember reading anywhere saying "13 Year Old guitarist plays Hardest Song of all time!" It says he plays Sweet Child o Mine which he does pretty damn well Might I add

[Muchodelcrazy]

Funny, I really can't listen to more than 30 seconds of alot of mainstream shit they're pumping out nowadays, but Simon does have valid points. And the act is more distracting than entertaining.

[william2143]

Not the hardest song to play tbh lol.

[snsttb]

I am 12 and i can play this song, i learned it when i 11

[Guitarfreakerlol]

You're really something huh? This boy is doing great.

[mattyman17]

i know a 14 year old who can play november rain...

however this kid is a little douchey slash wannabe

[joshybell1]

letts be honest its not hard

[partymastersdj]

Great Job... Keep Playing... DJ Partymaster

[Pr3dat0r5000]

I had a friend who is 14 and he plays way better...

[doomsd46]

I know right! There is always someone better out there but they never get recognized.

[Pr3dat0r5000]

yeah, like people will tell you that joey jordison is the best drummer yet theres probably some guy who dedicates his life to playing drums but gets no publicity.

[Raulbrown]

KOBIBA need to see that xD

[bertiemycat]

MCLOVIN WERE YOU JUST GETTIN LAID!?

with guitar skills like that, i believe he was.

[pool741]

mmmmmm i know 13 year olds that play yngwie but good for 13

[ising199612]

same here im 13 he is awesome but im a girl so ya!

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

so what.........so ya!...

[Blood790]

lmao @ Mclovin

[puiselo]

the beginning is not that hard it looks, its guite easy.

[anyatrip]

I am 13,but...........OMG!! fucking great job!

[LIND951]

he's pretty good like some areas he needs work on but hes gettin there

[rocker940]

if all you "i'm better and i'm thirteen" people knew anything about music, you would know that he's not missing notes, he's improvising. If you're really better, post a video so we can see.

[maya5papaya]

im 13, but im not as good as him!!! he is amaaaazing!!!!!!

[Othello31795]

he looks lik mclovin haha awesome =]

[TEDDYPMPN11]

if one more fuckin thirteen year old comments. who cares stop hatin some kid got a vid and sme kudos. shut the fuck up. its pretty good

[ELEMENTZERO666]

Wow Prodigy My Butt The kid Has His Toggle Switch Down For The Beginning And Its Supost To Be UP Wow And He Plays The Verse Like He Does Because he Cant Put His Fingers Spread out On cords And wat Happen To The Corus if your going to be called a prodigy learn the real sounds of the song even i know wat to do and im 13

[NoRapAllowed]

I am 13, I am a guitarist but I can play it easily on guitar and on drums. He missed a chorus, and thts not how u play the verse. If u think thts cool, than no offense, but u r dumb and u have vacuum in ur head.

[timoscy007]

i am 13 and i can play this song on the guitar . . .

[sk8rchik7151]

this kid rocks!

[ddvolsman]

nice playin! thats a great guitar too. im still a beginner but i hope to be as good if not better than u!

[Scris101]

i like how the film keeps cutting as if he were editing it in different clips

[jacarat]

honestly!!! if all u bashers can pls post vids of your solos...would love to see how you all compare! truly! this kids good at what he's doin'. hell i wish i was at that level...lol

keep rockin' it kid!

[kevin756969]

I totally agree with you adcogran, What the hell is the matter with people!!!! LOL!

[adcogran]

Love how everyone is a critic when a 13 year old can play better than them. He rocks and that is coming from someone with 25 years in as a musician. At 13 you all were picking your noses and farting thinking that was cool. This kid is shredding at the age you were doing that. LOL!!!

[MattMiller9893]

i can play that!

[LeufinWaffle]

way to fast, drums came in way to early but u have some tallet man good job

[elemental212]

BANGIN!!!

[Rembrandtrules]

OMG. That was epic fail. It started ok then went kinda completely downhill.

[Deakbalu]

Hmm....The kid is ok...but the song isn't, he plays on tne guitar the song wich the singer should sing...except that teh song is great. Good job, kid!

[laffertywelling]

you guys all suck. this kid rocks.

[sailorman8359]

Kid, Watch how Slash works the guitar, Take notes and practice.

[Blackholedudeman]

what is with solo 0_o

[Duragster]

waov.. look at all the people bragging about how they can play the guitar. I just dream t become this good really.. im 18, and been playing 2 years, i do mostly Power Chords, and some easy as hell solos.. :S

[fauberardo]

he is good but no for much

[Ands2990]

well the tone sucked, and the tapping didnt fit the rest of the song

[norris1927]

the tone is really fucked up

[XxgnrrocksxX]

@norris1927 it is ye but he is very gd

[HeatMaster22]

Lol

"Guitar Prodigy"

No offense... But he's got really undeveloped technique.

[moviecatninja]

awsome!! you have talent!! but a wee bit to much bitey treble :)  5*

[Rock96Boy]

omg shut up all!!

im 13 i can this song but it isn't how fucking fast u play ii must sounds good when u're playing too!!!!

[GuitarGeek112]

I wouldn't call him a prodigy because of this. Maybe he is but this video didn't show it. its an easy song and he made it easier by just doing some annoying tapping instead of the actual solo.

[DrayadUK]

I can play this and im 13 i'll post a response soon =P lol

[vdowatcher911]

anyone can fucking play this song

[snowmanfilms]

type in 9 year old sweet child o mine and watch the one by jackcheese9000.its not as good but he just a 9 year old p.s comment the vid

[GuitarGeek112]

The repetitive tapping got annoying.

[JROrangeCity09]

I'm 13 I can play that...In fact I'll post a vid of it soon! Watch out!

[Timjr1959]

Awesome performance all around

[1kreativ9]

Guitar GEEK :D

[GreenIcyTea]

thats fuckin crazy

[smokinmixture]

Why do some people have to be so fuckin hateful. Give the the kid a break. Just because he dont play it like you doesn't make him wrong. Maybe he aint the best but he will be up there one day. Well done mate I take my hat off to you. All you lot who 'think' you are so fucking good 'lets see it'.

[gnrrule415]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[coreydm676]

[malago0]

[devilsoul1]

Practice can make you better at anything.

I mean come on, you think this kid just picked a guitar up one second earlier and played this?

Think before you speak now.

[Styk0s]

[finarfin56]
