Fastest 15 year old shredder in the world Anton Oparin original song

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

this guy is stickin it to the asain kids

[thunderstruck100500]

those damn russians with their guitar skills!

[iPsycrology]

I'm jealous.



[Boroda2009]

Антон! Молодец! Просто супер! Очень понравилось!

[AleCsGuns]

woooooow awesomeeee

[altemu]

he's not human..........

[kirik1917]

Молодца мне 13 я тоже играю на гитаре но пока довольно ~~~~ посредственно.

[robzmetalify]

The Next Paul Gilbert........

[itsnotrugby]

sweet!

[c4bb4g3]

how long has he been playing? I've been playing almost 4 years myself and I definitely can't do a lot of the stuff he did. very nice. composition could be better, but I still enjoyed it. holy crap.

[rocketmaan]

@twisted7493 uhhh... there are more numbers after 4? (the posting's from some people are so stupid, I thought I'd join in)

[suhelmukherjee]

Brilliant use of the Chromatic Scale, that too at 15!!!

[TheMaksi62]

Антон Привет! А ты слушаешь таких гитаристов как John McLaughlin, Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamasa, Gary Moore и конечно же Steve Vai?

[TheMaksi62]

Антон, ты молодец! Очень рад за тебя и твои успехи!

Желаю тебе большого творческого пути и хорошего звука твоей гитары и души!

[rocketmaan]

@TheMaksi62 spasibo bolshoe vam za horoshie pojelaniya. vi mojete posetit' mou stranichku na myspace.com

[NeutralFil]

@nibsabbath1825 Yeah, of course, but he sure will be, one day. For now, he's the best guitarist of his age in the world, what I know, and whining about it is just being jelous. But I guess that's a fair reaction. I know that I am. But it isn't his fault that I'm not any better than I am. Just saying.

[MikePattonFan24]

Good, but I wouldn't say the best

[rocketmaan]

@MikePattonFan24 I'm not Anton. Just out of curiosity, who is the best 15 year old guitarist in your opinion? BTW- You should hear Anton's new stuff at Myspace.

[MynZnusz]

Cool song!

[Tyrantula4]

@Conficker97 Grow the fuck up dude. This dude is amazing for his age. Are you saying that anybody can do this? What's your diagnosis man? Maybe this isn't the most original piece of music ever, but it's not really meant to be either. This kid just shows off his talent. He's obviously new to composing, so don't give him any shit like that. You also try to sound like you know anything about playing guitar. I bet he can shred your ass off any day

[NeutralFil]

@Conficker97 You're just jealous dude. I'm fifteen too. I've been playing since I was twelwe years old. I practise a lot, and a lot of people have told me that I'm really good, but I'm nowhere even near this guy's level. And your complaining... Did you even watch the video? If it was anything he did, then it was to prove that you can play complicated things with emotion and a clear structure... Not admitting that this kid is a genius is just being a stubborn jerk...

[williamindragunawan]

Anton! I wanna see you play Colorado Bulldog!

[vaistile]

@Conficker97 watch him playing paganini 16th caprice in the video response. I've seen many videos on youtube (guitar player) and I've never seen someone playing such a difficult piece with this ease.

[mig2x]

17 people don't know what guitar is.

[laanico]

amazing riff man.. congratulation cool songg

[FischerPhillip84]

@sydfloydpink i think this guy just grew up to memorize paul gilbert licks!!!

[federfuchsCh]

i would like to ask him something, but i don't know where i can do that. Anyone who has an idea??

[rocketmaan]

@federfuchsCh  Ask here.

[MichaelCraythorn]

very very nice, his sound reminds me of Marty Friedman

[ACampbell1001]

bet I can

[minorthreat141]

Kid is a monster player... I wish the rhythm guitar was a different tone though.

[publicservant2009]

AWESOME ~

[mulotwo]

Amazing !

[D1vid3By0]

Jason Becker Version 2.0! Man you're awesome keep it up!

[ExactPsience]

This kid is cheating! He has star power active the whole song!

[thrashmetal4life1]

Love it. Better composition then most of the shit out there right now. Keep it up anton.

[MrPyroguy1]

this could be nice in guitar hero:D

[tcsbangbang]

must..have..tab..now

[KevReborn]

Hey Anton, please enjoy your talents man. It looks like you are not having any fun!!

[ototel]

como suena el POD 2.0 !

[montyburnzz]

I can play that very first chord perfectly.

But that's it. :D

[Nathankthanks]

Remember that name guys. This kid is a star.

[JEESherazi]

@rocketmaan Words of wisdom.

[ENEMENCIO123VISION]

HE'S A GREAT PLAYER :)

[KingofPho75]

imagine ten years from now

[brunodeoliveira1982]

sinistro

[DAVO360]

Retitle this: Betcha Can't Play This, Bitch!

[StefanDLazarov]

Антон молодец!!!

[batteryguy9]

fucking great song and some serious great guitarshredding skillz! keep up the good work! the main riff sounds like the main riff from "Die Ärzte die fette Elke" :D i love it!

[DanteGuitar]

I can't believe it, even though I'm seeing it with my own eyes. And he seems so humble, despite tearing up fretboards day-in, day-out.

[XLCCTM]

he plays like a fucking god, im jelous about that, but he es like a robot, just smile like 1 or 2 times in the whole song, maan is his fucking creation, enjoy it, he play all the song like this :I im can't play that well yet, but i enjoy that i play, but he is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XKanius]

this is so cool!!! OMG!! he´s such a genius... but I want to now who are the 17 crazys who didn´t like the video!! I want to kill them!! xD

[Roystonsmum101]

Blessed with that Gilbertesque Pinkie, I envy you

[likuidflaememan]

Good leads, Nice melody, Shitty Stereotypical rhythm for speed metal. Listen to some animals as leaders or Chimp Spanner or Jason Becker. Just a suggestion. While instrumental music is mainly about the leads, rhythm makes everything soooooo much better.

[gilsonmetal1]

amazing...

[23H4V0C23]

Made in Russia.

[eliasd9]

This is bad ass

[flipper2gv]

holy shit, that was really good. I thought 14 years old were all about shredding, but this guy brought style, musicality and taste to a shredding song.

[Pulsuhundur]

This kid inspires me to sit down and play like 10 hours a day.

[wiganlad2006]

Hes actually better then Paul Gilbert. But can tell Paul was a huge influance in this playing.

[miltonoooo]

@rocketmaan : verdade, pratica,pratica,pratica, continue assim, parabens!!! veja nosso video:

[voyager71390]

sucks that gibson is too busy sponsoring faggots like the jonas brothers to give this truly talented young-man an endorsement deal. his guitar is ugly an off-brand

[rocketmaan]

@voyager71390 The GKG guitars are really nice. But yeah, I'm a Gibson guy, too. Mike Lipe makes some nice guitars. Kenny at Performance Guitar has built some killer axes! But there are so many choices. Check out ED Romans World Class Guitars. It's a website with great education on builders and resources. Cheers!

[schwarg]

@voyager71390 There is more to guitars than gibson buddy, check out suhr for some real quality stuff that you're probably never heard of.

[barbedwireplayer]

@voyager71390 na man check your facts. Gary Kramer is a legend in the biz of guitar building and i promise you makes an extremely high quality instrument. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because a company is small that it's guitars are of poor quality or that because a company is huge that their instruments are all amazing.

[bluegang3]

i can do 2:42

[Critdizzle]

He has a song called "Betcha Can't Play This" when he's only fourteen... I'm kinda scared by thinking of what he could do when he's my age...

[cycopl]

I'll take that bet. I definitely can't play this.

[ejdupont]

This has inspired me to sell my guitar and take up golf....

[joeyplusamanda]

The fact that Desiree Bassett gets more publicity than this prodigy is a shame on humanity.

[rocketmaan]

@joeyplusamanda - That's why I changed the title of the clip. :)

[voyager71390]

@joeyplusamanda desiree bassett doesn't even play guitar compared to what this kid does.

[tastytasters]

Any self-respecting guitarist in mind has to feel some sort of jealousy when presented with talent like this simply because it's that good. A little bit of jealousy isn't bad. In fact, it's healthy if it's the kind that urges you to keep improving your own craft.

[brando18guitarplyr]

first i just hated the dude because he was so fucking good, now i think he's pretty awesome to achieve this much at the age of fucking 14 :O

[PGROSYE02]

this kid actually has feel, you can tell. And he's a good writer, he doesn't try to rip sloppy sweeps with ass tone constantly.

[mabitazan]

Paul Gilbert's mini me xD

[gesiz22]

2:21 he smiled, i knew he was having fun:D

[rocketmaan]

@gesiz22 Anton walked in to studio. I asked him if he needed to warm up. He simply replied, "no, I'm ready when you are" He nailed take one. I was amazed by his ease.

[gesiz22]

@rocketmaan the kids a fucking beast

[nctech3]

Awesome...Love it!...Great phrasing.. :)

[SuperGuitarNewbie]

Sounds very Paul Gilbert inspired. Awesome stuff.

[mclovinninja666]

AHHHHH I want to play that so bad......Tabs? I'm too lame to read music, anyone?

[69Awesomesauce]

the intro is like sped up acdc just with fastass alternate picking

[brono25]

@69Awesomesauce  His a big acdc fan

[JoaoLuis203]

awesome song! this kid has a great future!

by the way this isn´t really that hard to play... anyway when I saw the Get Out of My Yards sweeps I was speechless that was one of the most impossible accurate licks I've ever seen...

[DAVO360]

H... I umm...

HOW?!... just.. HOW?

And how does he do it without even trying hard or even having to look at the guitar?! :(

[jareds1007]

@rocketmaan everything you say is so true...but if you say "I can do that," and work at it....you can do it...

[stratplayer6]

2:34 - 2:42 is me favourite tempo growth ever !

[catapei]

@BachTeen1 ur right! its not THAT original. but even though this song doesnt contain any original aspect like malmsteen when he first came out or greg howe or any other great guitarist. this song still sounds great for me and i enjoyed it very much!

[guitarfishpayste]

waaayyyy to sick dude u rock your guitar playing is ninja

[8element]

I can't

[JayRebel]

He's got the licks, the chops, the bends, the shakes, the style. I bet I can't play that! hahahaha All he needs now is the rock star moves and he's a complete package, not to diminish his skill at all though. He's a pro level player. Check that, super pro. I sit in awe.

[hardyzforlife]

he might even get up there with the greats like joe satriani kirk hammett and yngwie malmsteen one day with that kinda talent

[boxtrap21]

@hardyzforlife kirk hammett is not a "great" all he does is shred the chromatic scale.

[webrokeyourbed]

@boxtrap21 Well I agree with this, But the chromatic scale isn't all he uses, If he did metallica would sound super atonal lmao. You can't forgot about that E PENTATONIC scale =P

[rocketmaan]

@boxtrap21 I know who Kirk Hammett is. Who are you? See my point? Kirk is a success at doing what he does. Cheers

[Sumper0]

@hardyzforlife kirk hammet lmao

[SEVENTHSON89]

omfg

[edcollante]

@metachozo Oh come on, the kid's 14. Me thinks he's amazing.

[TiagoRodrigues88]

@metachozo I bet Satriani couldn't play this at 14

[undeadcoax]

@TiagoRodrigues88 ...Satriani was inspired to play guitar at age fourteen soon after learning of the death of Jimi Hendrix.[6] He has been said to have heard the news during a football training session, where he confronted his coach and announced that he was quitting to become a guitarist.

[CRIANZON]

el mejor

[sweethouze28]

This young men got life...Is parents should be proud !!!!!

[Kornhulio18]

Just a few questions... How old was this kid as he started playing guitar? And how long is he practicing a day? I mean you can be the most talented guitarist on earth but without practicing you're nothing at all... I can't still believe my eyes what i've just seen...

What's next? An embryo playin Santana? : >

[Guitareben]

@sydfloydpink And don't think of it as practice, because that is implying you don't want to do it :P :)

Think of it as playing :)

And versatility is little spoken, but very important :D

Other than that, just follow what excites you :D

You, as does everyone else, have the potential to be this good :D , so go for it!

[Diabolical93]

@rocketmaan I keep saying it to myself all the time... Keep focused on what music style youre in to...

[crusTodd]

Anton is what would be termed a prodigy. He has unusually huge skill set that is a combination of natural ability combined with an obvious ton of practice. The fact that it's so effortless and VERY rarely does he make mistakes, suggests that he's already at the level of Gilbert, Satch, Vai, etc... He just needs maturing and life experience to develop his own sound/style and he will grow to be one of the greatest rock and maybe all-around players, EVER. Pretty incredible to watch.

[Metallica09DE]

2:40 Yes.............

[stevenoring]

paul gilbert should do a cover

[crazyvideoshow]

thats awesome ^^ i hope he never stop playn because thats what i call born in musik

[hiladelphia]

@rocketmaan oparin like the scientist

[Victayzy]

Intro reminds me of back in black.. haha

[Duffman1300068]

my mind has been a blown

[Dudeprelude69]

Young Petrucci!

[alvisbn]

He is not checking his volume pot, he is just turning his turbo mode on :D

[BurninAss]

watching him play makes me wonder how good I would now if I started to play guitar at young ages.

this guy has got a good start into the music industry unlike those who are from families which aren´t into playing instruments.

luck + little bit of talent + a hell lot of practice = influence.

[GuitarAleX15]

@BurninAss

me too

but its myseelfs fault

i started at the age of 7

after abut 1 1/2 year i finished

after 1 year i started again

and one year later i finished again

now im playing again for 3 years

im such a idiot :D

if i hadn't made breaks in playing guitar i would now have been playing for 8 years -.-

[anuv107]

This is amazing! Awesome and Mindblowing! Way to go Anton....Keep it up!

[pet3rgriffin]

Lol this is the coolest thing I've ever heard.

[justKenny99]

@rocketmaan Nice song.

[rzlorlnd]

10,000 better tha Justin Bieber. You deserve his popularity. Keep working!

[longination]

amazing, proper surreal seeing a kid that young play that well

[MrKhairudinmataris]

Need to practise more on bending, vibrato and more feel on slow solo or blues..

[AJGNW]

@MrKhairudinmataris Who are you to judge and what do you know about bending and vibrato? 3:14 he bends exactly on the pitch and his vibrato is up to tempo or whatever... Anyway, it doesnt sound bad at all :S

And what the hell do you mean "more feel on slow solo or blues"? Do you think this song needs more blues? Sorry for kinda attacking you here but i seriously cant get to your point...

[mrbig71014]

WHY THE FUCK would 9 people give this video thumbs down??? Obviously, they're idiots, or have something wrong with their brains, but to which point???? Great playing. If he works hard on some things, he can become a legend. Pure talent

[MrYaddahYaddahYaddah]

this is a masterpiece great !!!!

[GugaDev]

You won the bet -.-'

[brian91145]

Next paul gilbert right here people!

[Guitareben]

This guy is amazing :D, and i am so glad he is not playing all that (imo) horrible metacore/hardcore rubbish :P.

This guy will be insane when he is older (he is now, but even more insane!) :O

[RyanB747]

@Guitareben totally agree wiv u :D

[mastrflexx]

@dudeofmuchrock Yeah man, you're a dick. Lol hahahah.

[voltaspeeder17]

This kid is surely going to become a BIG name in instrumental rock music, i'm sure of that!

[LipstickFlash]

Well this hammers nice work you are a good musician, also like the guitar gary kramer shread machine

[SauKi6]

simplemente, puro virtuosismo, perfect anton :)

[pochankitty]

@dudeofmuchrock You're fucking stupid. And you probably don't get any pussy at all. Who the fuck talks about how much pussy they get? Shallow bitch.

[ertylnw]

tabs please

[Scarified2012]

"Mini Gilbert"

[louzarv1]

he plays like a pro!

[ivanterrrivel]

amazing

[KuroCC]

.____. i have the same age and im probably like 3-5 years far from playing like him D: but it also makes me feel excited, to become a guitar player like him :)

[longination]

did he or you write this???????????????????????

[MicableShawn]

sounds good fast and clean ... still kinda sounds like a kid in the solo partsand the rhytem tends to suffer :S confusing to me ... i dont get why people can play fast insanlly good but still lack the little stuff and the vibratto needs a little work in my opioin .... and i need to learn how to spell haha but good stuff

[AngryLlamaz]

his picking technique is so similar to paul gilbert and it took him almost 20 years to get where he is now (which is absolutely flawless). And this kid is almost there but hes NOT EVEN 18!!

[QuotidianHegemony]

Anyone else think the thumb on his picking hand looks abnormally long?

[hugo3697]

exelente amigo!!!!!!!!!!

[ViniciusGuerra]

Zé do Pudim's got his soul.

[4stringFanatico]

that was the FATEST 5-string ive ever seen in my life!

[innocent2komal]

Thats damn good for a 14 yr old kid !! bravo .. the views are gonna increase many folds in coming years !

[kilipeti]

awesome playing, very clean and smooth. one thing... it needs feels. he plays it like "when will it end? oh finally, it's just too easy for me"

[TheCrimsonKing09]

@dudeofmuchrock who cares about how much girl's you get for all we know you could be a fat nerd who is so insecure he has to say how he gets all these girl's

[TachoSJ]

rock on kid!

[amidfallen]

I cant believe that this awesome stuff is played and composed by one young guy :D I just envy :D awesome...

[TheBanyanEmperor]

He's getting better.

Favorited because of 2:15 to 2:41.

That part is quite epic, and definitely gives him my full respect. :)

[Fendershred50]

Damn, I used to just think this guy was really technically skilled, but this is a really good song also.

[potato135]

jesus christ, so many arguments over OH, THIS IS GOOD!! NO THIS IS BAD!!! HURR DURR I CAN INTERNET!! Just shut the fuck up, if you like it, listen to it, if you dont, get the fuck out, and never come back. shouldn't be too hard considering you DON'T LIKE IT. We don't want you here anyway.

[justKenny99]

Where can I get tabs?

[walrus98]

haha 2:25 "yeah, im beast". great song xD

[ILOVEAYANAMI]

amazing ....but i see a lac of emotiongs on his playing but buy the way amazing secuence 2:16 - 2:34

[walrus98]

@elevin1972 haha, win response xD

[finleur]

@rocketmaan beauty is in the eye of the beholder to some it can be beautifull works or musical fusion and other think its chicken scratch but we can all agree the boy has skill and is good regardless of a 30 year musician's opinion that obvisouly is very self centered and doesn't give a shit about the music for what it is

[finleur]

@dudeofmuchrock haha i dont know about that anymore man not only does he melt faces he can melt vaginas aswell aking girls wet at the drop of a sweep

[justKenny99]

Best song ever.

[silviotheguitargamer]

Man, this riff at 2:28 blasted my ears with joy.

You're really a talent to be reckoned with.

Keep rockin' dude.

[thricegod1288]

shredder.

[Koldgrin]

WoW! This kid ROCKS!!!!

It is awe inspiring to see a child do something that is so incredibly difficult!! Much respect to him. :) Cant wait to see what the future holds for him.

[marealonso1]

is child is not human

+

[TheShredfester]

Your Awesome!!! You got a cd out yet??

[TheWhocares233]

@dudeofmuchrock I doubt you do....give this kid a few years and he will impregnate girls just by whipping the shred out.

[GetaKillSwitch]

he is to talented for his age.... thats not fucking normal but i like it :D

[PabloakaChuck360]

NExt nominee for 2011G3????

[DragonForcebest]

just downloaded and put it on my handy

[danobrien2468]

How does an untalented kid like Beiber get 300,000,000 views and world wide popularity, when the most naturally talented kid i've ever seen (this guy) barely has 20K and very few people have heard of him... Its an absolute disgrace. What the hell is wrong with society these days? Its beyond belief...

[QuotidianHegemony]

Wow, that is impressive. What kind of guitar is that?

[elixergtarist]

@QuotidianHegemony A Gary Kramer Guitar

@QuotidianHegemony gary kramer custom. i have one in white and gold. theyre amazing guitars
