this kid is not only good he's amazing and to beat it all he's legally blind. Just goes to show you if you believe in yourself enough nothing can stop you from achieving your dreams.
Conrad; I must tip my hat to you sir. You were blind and had dreams of playing guitar at Woodstock. Most people would have told you that it would never happen, but you bloody well did it.
I'm treading on the borderline of just a little bit disrespectful of our national anthem, but on the other hand we live in a country where we have the freedom of doing things like we want. Having said that I would like to compliment this young man on his playing, awesome guitarist and i have no doubts that he is going to go places with his talent, hang in there young man, excellent guitar playing, keep it going. P.S. Wasn't judging Conrad about the anthem, I felt the same way about Jimi version.
wow sounds hella good...good job man...still aint as better as jimi though i mean no one can be better than jimi hes the god of the guitar...still you did really good
Conrad; Big Engine loves you bud! Its always good to jam with you. We are very happy for ya. What an honor to open Woodstock's 40th anniversary! You Rock!
I've been following you for the last few years as well, and even though I don't have a musical background and don't play any instrument (unless you consider golf clubs instruments as that is my calling in life) I have always had an ear for what I believe is special musical talent. My ear(s) have heard that from you since the first video I watched from you. Just stay humble and continue to learn from others when you can and you will have a great musical career.
You did it Conrad! Congrats!. You went up there and played the stars. That version is as valid today as it was back then! This is much appeciated. Thanks!
I came across your videos years ago. a true inspiration. im going to a woodstock concert, the b.b king one, and i can safely say, im dissapointed that i missed this one. keep it up.
i wish the camera man was half as good as conrad hes awesome
