  • i'd love to jam with em but hes grown up now

  • @malayximus hes still in high school....

  • i went to day care wit this boy!!!

  • He looks like a mini Kurt Cobain.

    He even has the same guitar as him.

  • @Boganator4 Eeehhhh... No he doesn't have "the same guitar as him". But he's really good!!!

  • @hendrixkixas. Looks like a Placid Blue Fender Mustang to me.

  • @Boganator4 I'm impressed, man! But unfortunately I'm perrty damn sure it's a lefty placid blue stratocaster with a maple fretboard. Mustangs usually don't have that smaller headstock, and if you look at the body closely, it ain't no mustang.

  • @hendrixkixas. No, what as I look it is a stratocaster, so you're right.

  • He looks like a mini Kurt Cobain!

  • This kid's awesome. The only kid my age who plays guitar like me. With soul and feeling (pheeling). I'm not egoccentric but it's funny all the kids on here who think that shreddding automatically makes you good.

  • The best piano players are like that too..

  • kid is nasty on guitar and well disiplined.

  • Seen Matthew one time at the Luther Allison fest in East Peoria. I knew he was good then. Wow ! Keepin up with Ronnie Baker Brooks, Wow !

  • Blues are not rather easy to play, I can say that from my own experience.

  • easy to play, hardest to be good at..

  • you need to dig deep into ur soul to pull out all the down things in ur life and express them musically to have a good feel for the blues, thats y miley cyrus will never translate to the blues, even if she tried. but some kid who is feelin down cuz some dude stole hislunch money and his girl, can go home and express that thought musically. that is the blues

  • hey dude!! u are good bro!! keep going!!!! u are doing it u will be a god! ;D

  • wow he changed a lot from 11-12.

  • Damn beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • Matthew,Outstanding Guitar Playing!! You Rock!!

  • Johnny Lang watch out there is a new sherriff in town and his name is Matthew Curry. Great job young man.

  • he's left handed

  • hes goodish but he is playing quite smpple stuff it sounds good with the other guses aswell keep up the good work

  • thats a real guitar player. this guy should be more famous than the jonas brothers but because the music industry is so screwed up, thats not the case

  • DAMN, he is gettin better & better!!!!!!!!!! Think I very may well put it on myspace!!! Saw this kid in peson a couple years ago and he is finally starting to OWN the stage. Teach it to him................ he's gotta KNOW he has to OWN it!!!!!!!!!! Personality is everything!!!! Yes, he is young, but they have to know it, YOUNG!!! Keep strong Matthew!! You are excellent!!! On stage Personality son........that's the ticket!!! You are great!!!!!!!!!! Great teacher, I might add!!!!

  • Awesome work Matt. Enjoy this gift and keep up the dedication. You will be truly great one day. I look forward to hearing more of your passion for the blues.

  • nice job its good to see a fellow lefty up on the stage good job

  • wow,reminds me of my old guitar days,wish i could play like that when i was twelve.

    his style reminds me a little bit of BB-king's..great playing kid!keep it up!

    keep playing like this,and you'll be one of the best of youtube in no time;)(or atleast in about 6 years or so)

  • what ever matthew would smoke you

    if your better lets se some videos klaymator97

  • shut up ur just saying that because you cant play and he is 100x better than you are!

  • haha hahahaah mann keep it up!! your awesome

  • whats song is this?

  • Dude. awesomeness. i know this kid. hell i was in casey's basement during their practice. even tho casey is a cynical homo. keep it up matt dude u rock.

  • sup andrew hows it going you guys rock i remeber when u played for us in kindergarten at oakland lol u rocked then to!!! KEEP IT UPPP

  • Wow dude you have alot to learn before you post.

  • He's really great. He goes to my school.

  • damn that boy be sexy

  • as i said on his 11 yr old video.  he will be one we hear about for a long time to come. he is so talented

  • He is SRV and Hendrix combined... Hes gonna be the next legendary blues guitarist of our decade

  • I gotta agree with that theoak84, but music nowadays doesn't stand out like it used to.

    He's going to be the best when the time comes but like I said he won't stand out enough for EVERYONE to take notice.

    Hendrix had everyones attention back then, but music has so many more genres that people won't take notice of this kids talent.

  • @theoak84 Um, not quite. Maybe the next Johnny Lang or John Mayer.

  • I can see the day in about 10 years when Fender will make the Matthew Curry signature Strat with an upcharge for a righty! What an incredible talent!

  • After I played with the Teeny Tucker Band at the NBTB fest on 7/19/08, I noticed Matthew enter the artists' tent, and got the feeling that he was something special. Later someone told me about him. I've listened to blues for MANY years, have seen many great musicians, played in great bands, and even backed Tommy Castro, Magic Dick, and Jason Ricci at the Heritage Blues Festival jam. I expected great playing for a youngster, not great playing for an adult. This young man has it all figured out!

  • a lefty

  • i am keeping up with this guy because we are going to see him for years to come. way to go Matthew

  • The guitar is bigger than him..Just met his father,and im glad I got the chance to hear his son..Maybe in the future we will jam together..

  • Albert Collins must have the biggest grin in the Universe on his face right now.

    I've watched this for what might be the 100th time, and I'm thrilled that YT has encoded it in "HQ." Video and audio are vastly improved.

    Matt, get a camera, talk your Dad into running it, and get yourself on here and join our music community. You can rip every one of us to shreds! And we'll love it!

    Moosie

  • i wanna see this kid all grown up. This was impressive enough.

  • dam it doesent get any bigger for a kid to be on stage with tommy castro. thats one hell of a resume builder

  • There are guitar players with technical skill. There are guitar players with talent. Then there a guitar players like Stevie Ray Vaughan, who go beyond skill and talent and live it. As far as I am concerned, Matthew is there.

  • You said it well, STB. Matt is there. It's in his soul.

    Moosie

  • woooooooooooow very nice and great man.

    When come you to Holland??????????

  • wow awsome, i wish i could play any insturment but sadly i cannot even if i could i prob would never make it to where your going matt, i hope ta see ya play some time kid!!

    ~amber aka ams~

  • btw my mom and dad said you rock too, say hi to your band mates for us

  • Wow really? SUCKED BAD? Nice constructive criticism.

  • OK, 12 years old. AMAZING! Enough said.

  • wtf is ur problem?

  • Sabbman, I think you must've blown your ears out in WW2 or something. You apparently don't hear at all.

    Moosie

  • @sabbman666 Tell me, could you do that when you were 12?

  • @mihadude Yes

  • I saw Matthew perform in Bloomington with CoCo Montoya this last weekend and that boy is absolutely amazing! And I loved it because he is such a humble kid. Amazing talent!

  • you kidding? i was there too. hes a good friend of mine. off topic, i know, but what did you think of that new orleans bluegrass band that played after him?

  • Watch for a new video from the CoCo Montoya concert last weekend(3/12/08). Mathew performed two songs with CoCo. It was another amazing performance.

  • Great video & music ☆! Well done☆! Outstanding☆! Cool☆! ☆☆☆☆☆♣♣♣♣♣ 5 Paws Up ♣♣♣♣♣☆☆☆☆☆

  • Its so good to see a new clip. we really enjoy watching you Matthew. we can only hope to see more of you here in Cleveland(rock&roll capital. love it, keep jamming!!!! you really have something speical.

  • wow

    reminds me of kurt

    mini kurt cobain

  • You can totally tell how you've improved from your last videos. Keep it up, you'll be a legend.

  • awesome Matt

    -Amanda H(in you Math & English Class)

  • Awesome job i like this a lot, thanks ethan for sending it 5 stars.

  • Dang, I wish I could play like that! That kid is goin' far. Awesome job, and thanks, Ethan, for sending!

    Blues On!

  • Great Job. Cheers from Germany.

  • I was there when this was recorded. This kid is the real deal. The person singing, talking and playing with Mathew was none other than Ronnie Baker Brooks. (not Tommy Castro as others have said) He is a legend and Mat stood up and played riff to riff with him, it was sooooooo cool and amazing. You have just seen the next Joe Bonamassa. Watch Brook's face as he watches Mats playing, even Brooks is impressed. Look for another post after the next concert March 29th.

  • Wow ... for sure you have a gift.

    Best wishes from an inland pass in S. CA

    5 ***** Sherry

  • I was there and saw the show....absolutely awesome...you can teach technique but you've either got soul or you don't....this kid definately has it...a force to be reckoned with. Like Ronnie said...Albert would sure be proud!! Use your blessings and your gift Matthew...can't wait to see you again!!

  • WOW, that's so cool, i wish i was there.

  • I WISH I could be so lucky, Cindy! Matthew truly has a gift. You don't "learn" what he has, you just cultivate it and grow with it. To see him in person would, I'm sure, completely blow me away.

    But didn't it totally suck when the power went off? YAK!!!!! They were just really starting to cook!!

    Moosie

  • Yes, that was total bummer and abrupt end to a powerful performance...but still thankful for the experience of Matthew, Ronnie and Tommy (AND Deanna and Magic Dick) and unforgettable night for sure!! THanks.

  • Thx Ethan , he is great: I'll put him on Myspace.

  • VERY TALENTED LAD! With A GREAT BAND TOO!

  • Awesome!

  • Excellent! :) Jack..Ethan sent me!

  • excellent excellent what a great gift...dont ever give this up you will just get better and better...thwart g

  • Good job!

    -Duke

  • my god ur amazing for 12!! =] totally awesome!! hey, ya'll close 2 where i am!! =] great job guys!!

  • Hey , very cool! Great!

  • OMG! Fantastic! Thanks Ethan this is great!

  • awesome! thanks Ethan!

  • holy crap, you're great dude, you're improvisation is better than mine. check out my blues improv video if you'd like. i'm also 12.

  • oh 5 stars, favorite, and subscribed by the way.

  • You've got it, Andy. Every bit of it. And I believe that. Matthew just has the edge. He started playing acoustic when he was 6, was into blues before he was 9, and has been playing on stage, face to face with some of the greats, for a couple of years. Given that same exposure, you'd learn so much so fast it'd be frightening, just like he has.

    Gawd! If the two of you could get together it'd be lethal!

    Moosie

  • well said and i'll be in the front row too.

  • I think we need to reserve our seats NOW, dood.

    Then again... You might not need a seat. You might just be too busy up there jamming with them. :-)

  • nice jam men :)

  • Sounds awsome=D

  • Great hands on that axe man!  Blues on! 5's!

    p.s. ethan sent me.

  • Totally Awesome Video.

    Nice playing. !!!

    -Basement Bob

  • OK, this kid has got it going on for sure! 5stars.

  • you rock !!

  • This is just thee most awesome video all year, you totally rock, let me in please.

    5 ***** million stars

  • Glad you finally got to see it, Ethan. I warned you. LOL

    I've watched it at least a dozen times, and it blows me away every time. That lead between 4 and 6 minutes makes me feel like I'm seeing Albert Collins reborn, and the dual lead with Tommy at the end is one of most incredible things I've EVER seen. It's unreal...

    As one commentator said, "At about the 6 minute mark, you realize you are seeing the future of the Blues!"

    Between Matthew and Andy, I feel like we ARE seeing it.

  • Yeah, your right about that, we will be seeing him for a long time to come.

  • No doubt! And as with you, nephew, he's just getting started. I cracked up when Tommy said, "He's only 12. Just wait til he gets his hot strokes." He summed it up SO perfectly.

    What you guys have at 12 is something many adults only dream of having. Grow with it and follow it, and as Tommy added, "When you get rich and famous, don't forget about us, right."

  • That was actually Ronnie Baker Brooks singing and talking. Tommy Castro was to the audience left side with Magic dick and Deanna Bogart.-

  • Yeah, I realized the mistake right after I clicked the Post button. Every now and then it'd be *real* nice to have an Unpost button. :-P

  • Wow Matthew! you gave me goosebumps! Great job! I've had the privelage to meet you a few times at Morningwood Studios and I must say that I'm impressed not only with your abilities and fell for the music, but you are able to play right along with the best and not get a big head about it. You are so humble and gracious and that is one of the best things about you. Keep at it, you are great!

  • Mathew, you are the best!!!

  • nice man...ui think uyou used to hang out wioth my brother and come to my house sometimes...haha small world eh?

  • This is fantastic!! After SO many months, a new video at long last, and a name to attach to those magic fingers. Matthew, you have the power. Music is in your soul! Take it for all it's worth, young man. I look forward to seeing MUCH more from you.

    Moosie
