[tinian33]

Bireli Lagrene the age of 14 was playing circles around this guy. Ease up on playing scales, or scale like phrases, on a static chord and focus more on intricate melodic lines:

[skatermon202]

Thank you for a real talent show video ! Every other talent show is eruption or a fag with a les Paul

[evanskick22]

[ThyrsoidGman]

i want to hand that kid a taylor and some ripple tabs and force him to learn how to play guitar the right way. the jerry garcia way

[semitar6]

He actually lost? I would love to see the winner on video...probably some britney spears tripe.

[azkeyz]

I don't konw why but I accept this as living proof that anyone attempting buckethead material will be shot down.

this means I'm on my own again musicaly , never expected any mercy to begin with.

[azkeyz]

OMG no , he did not just play buckethead material directly after such a screwed up shred entro ? OMG he did.

well all I can say about that is , get your ass over there and play binge and grab.

[azkeyz]

fail

because any time your shread doesn't have any thought behind it like this mindless crap

you get instant fail

[samb7]

[rickyleadguitar]

man i know exactly how it feels to put alot in a talent show and lose it. check out Concord Middle School Talent Show. the dude playing is me and the judges (they were in their mid 60s) placed me 10th because they thought i faked it

[a7xforlife1050]

how did he lose

[ScrotyMcBoogerballz]

He would have won if any of them had any idea how to play the fucking guitar.

[Phanamine]

@ScrotyMcBoogerballz AGREED!

[laynefuller]

[brutalmetalman123]

[floggingmeself]

[metalkirby777]

A fan of Buckethead is a friend of mine... and a talented one, to boot!

[MrHatandClogs42]

Anyone should win a Talent Show if they even get halfway as good as Buckethead.

[devax1986]

1st part almost sounds like Ethan Brosh- "Blast Off" track

[kocnn]

you have no showmanship none, its almost boring

[omgwtfbbqalekx]

@kocnn music is meant to be listened to. that's partly the attitude that rendered mainstream music how it is today; entertainment.

[murfdog19]

@omgwtfbbqalekx Yes....Yes....Yes!!! From what my parents tell me, they didn't even know what their favorite bands looked like in the '60s and '70s. It was all about the music.

[omgwtfbbqalekx]

@murfdog19 :)

[Detroitfarm]

He's fast. I'm fast. And....

[Tviruskillu]

The shredding as good. But you playing I Love My Parents was the best.

[Vexus666]

Vibrato needs a little work, but I envy your speed. I'll get there at some point when I feel I know my guitar well enough. :P

[youngladaustin2012]

and while he may have lost the competition he came out of that gymnasium with more pussy than any else in the place

[yarbgreat1]

I love how he is playing I love my parents by Buckethead

[kungfuman82]

Let me guess, you lost to some "stepping" team?

[zer0dahero]

Is your hair line receding already?

[92tazzman]

[MrShadowsalem]

[SMWhit3out]

[bangulo2012]

Nice buckethead at the end!!

[Smudgefizz]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I'm waiting for "34 year old plays "Louie Louie"...

[lordcadburyhopkins]

The guy's freakin amazing and I don't really even listen or play metal and all that, every negative bastard on here should recognize that they probably don't even have a drop of the attention span necessary to master the neck like this.

[josh18230]

I Because you touch yourself at night.

V

[DonkeyPunchForLunch]

I'm 17, damn why can't I grow a beard?

[tayban93]

[NoVanity1]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch

[1wayward9]

@NoVanity1 Ha, you want to grow a bear.

[KingXory]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch i'm 15, and i shit you nto man, i can grow a beard (: lmao

[RuledByMars65]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch my 15 yr old has a beard, but it will ONLY grow UNDER his jawline all around his neck. I tease him him looks like a Pennsylvania Dutchman LOL

To be honest, his mother is a little hairy, so... there you go.

[7175376]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch genetics bro, i started growing my beard in 7th grade

[lambdachi1826]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch : My scrotum was entirely covered in thick black pubic hairs when I was 6 and a half years old. No joke.

[LibertiesDefender]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch...... Consider it a blessing, shaving sucks.

[SiK0Fuzz1es]

@LibertiesDefender I'll second that statement. Shaving does suck.

[TimmehTRP]

@DonkeyPunchForLunch LOL!

[PXR05]

17? 37 more like.

[sharpiey57]

35 :P

[ianherrera]

17 my ass this nigga looks 30.

[ryan25n]

mad skills but ever heard of the beatles, stones, chuck berry small faces? music with melody and soul. Not many people are interested in buying an album of pure self indulgence gets boring after about 5 seconds.

[viperman375]

@ryan25n Gotta be kidding me. Watch on the whole video!! =)

[ryan25n]

@viperman375 dude don't get me wrong u obviously have talent but don't trap yourself into playing just shred guitar you will get bored with it after a while . Try and play some bb king or zed zep acoustic tunes like the rain song. Page experimented with the guitar tunings etc to make some really great compositions. As for bb king just one of the most tasteful guitar player's ever. You would learn a lot from these masters.

[ErlingMK]

@ryan25n And eventually get bored as fuck playing like them

[ryan25n]

@ErlingMK never get bored playing like them there is more depth to it but just stay in the shred category u seem to at least like it even though most people don't peace

[gravedaddzeroo]

17 years PLAYING GUITAR...

[ElixStewart]

i find it very hard to velieve you are 17 haha

[AbusedDaily]

Guitar solos are based on the amount of soul you put into it not the difficulty of your solos. Sure people will cheer for the intensity, but put ur mind and soul into it

[Jbassist9]

@AbusedDaily agree!

[JeffwySmash]

buckethead buckethead buckethead BUCKETHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH

[homoignobilis]

This why the really good musicians are careful about the halls they play. They know the places are also instruments. But some suck and others are cathedrals to music. Why do they build school auditoriums like gyms? So here's the solution solved by Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead: Literally stuff the hall with acoustic volume and the ears will rebel and brutalize the body and mind into think that the louder something is the better it is. The Who, Loudness, Aerosmith, AC/DC got the message.

[MrSargenti]

The second half was musical but the first half was just speed-noise, no real melody of any kind.

[mrcookjr1]

@imagocanis That's the most ignorant shit I have ever read. It's people like you that make turns like slipknot and my chemical romance popular. Go learn to play.

[MrLambofgod7861]

He looks like Michael Keene

[jasfer3]

Fuckin` Smokin`

[ywed14]

That was good

[mydawgbilly]

Your skill is very good and you played very well. Unfortunately some people come here to talk about themselves and preen like guitar gods when in actuality they are keyboard toadies who couldn't win at guitar hero on their xbox.

[ImagoCanis]

I honestly didn't hear anything worth remembering. Given, I'm not a very technical guitar player. But I think stage presence, and emotion has a lot more to do with performing than overall ability. Otherwise you're just playing for yourself. That's all I'm gonna say.

[MrIncredible2293]

T - Stands for THANKS for reading this comment

H - Stands for HELP because i would appreciate your views

A - Stands for ANYBODY who gives me a view is helping

U - Stands for I UNDERSTAND if you dont, but anyway thanks

[IvoryForest1]

Amazing feeling and technique for a player that is 17 years old! Good work! Dont let the jealous idiots here down your talent. Great work!

[fiddymil]

if he's 17 then im 94

[thaAverageGamer]

@fiddymil i have a beard and im 17..?

[Shadowcatcher101]

@fiddymil he acctually looks about 17 or 18 to me, there are alot of seniors at my school that look older or the same age as him

[playdoughpanda31]

@fiddymil Damn your hella old xD

[savingashley24]

@fiddymil seventeen likes lol

[FTR01]

@fiddymil Damd dog, your old.

[Vegerunks123]

@fiddymil what makes you believe hes not 17?

[sexybrat101390]

I wish I could play the guitar like that...

[fivefourtyone]

How about you look how you want to look? Amazing talent, btw.

[alexanderthegreatist]

this guy is fucking amazing anyone who says other wise is a dumb fucking idiot end of story, lets see one of you haters put a guitar on and play like this...

[SkyrimTroll]

Guitar is shiny as hell, does he polish that?

[tennfootball93]

And for the record, he won this past year. He found out one of the main reasons he lost the first time was because his set up took too long so they took off points. If you go to the video responses section, you can see the most recent one. Also check out the rest of his channel and see more of his original stuff or covers.

[tennfootball93]

I really can't believe these comments. He really was 17 at the time and is only 19 now. I have known him almost all his life and he has worked extremely hard to get as good as he is. Don't hate on someone just because you lack the skill and motivation someone else has. And for the people that know what they are talking about and thought this video was good but had shit quality, it is due to the camera and the system it was being played through. Not exactly top of the line sound equipment.

[MrPrivot]

RIP headphone users



[vangsplakat]

U sure he's 17? Looks 35!



[EBBadd1]

Not trying to be mean just a suggestion,too many dudes going with the rats nest hair and goodwill clothes look now days but that bum look is beat and has no class.

[420perrfection]

@EBBadd1 dude you think people dressing like that give a flying fuckkkkkkkk about trends lol?(or obviously how they look) people dress how they want its a representation of self or just for comfort... not a fucking modelling show. Not to say that tons of people dont just want to fit into a certain group by how they look.

[EBBadd1]

Well I like that you chose to play I love my parents;Buckethead wrote a good one there,spokes is another one.I'm gonna give you free advice,lose the facial hair and do something with the hair on top,it might get you beer at the corner store but it will not get you laid, follow me?Playing guitar is great that's why I play and probably most people viewing your post but women are great too and at 17 you got a lot of time to rock so try not to look like an old wino.

[ssmosley]

at least 35 years old

[KgRampage]

hes playing buckethead....

[MrPublic7enemy]

what the fuck beat that?

[Rokarocker]

That guy looks like Jesus!

[UpcomingJedi]

@Rokarocker No, he doesn't. Jesus combed his hair.

[jonathan8156]

Im a earbudz user and i turned this shit UP!

[airsoftandguitar101]

WOW he can TAP!!!!!!!!!! (sarcasm incase you didn't alredy notice)

[AbominableSnowFish]

this is new.. I think 240p sounds better then 360.

[jasonstheory]

@AbominableSnowFish Good look, bro! I was gonna say, this is piercing my ears, but 240p isn't bad.

[ItsNotThatBig]

For everyone here who keeps saying he needs to work on his tone, your wrong :) he is obviously in a gym, in which the acoustics sound like shit, all your hearing is the reverb, His tone in my opinion is actually good considering that it was filmed on a 100$ camera. Which also adds to the "Extra" crappines of the sound. Great playing dude :)

[tennfootball93]

@ItsNotThatBig Auditorium

[Sgtpeppers616]

needs to work on his tone



[PhattCarrot1212]

JUST awesome:)! 

[fvalen001]

bloated rock guitar solo...why do so many kids like this crap?

[EnjoiYourLoss]

@fvalen001 i don't at all but i still think thats pretty cool just to do that

[LDFischer1990]

@fvalen001 Let's see you do better.

[BestComputerCelper]

toooooooooooooooooo much treble in your guitar effects. other than that, good

[FloridaStuntTeam]

why cant i find a good guitarist at my school? instead they all have to be addicted to meth....

[TheDevilSauce]

Haha. This is what the eighties did. it told kids that picking up the guitar was about masturbatory guitar solos, shitty haircuts, and living in your parents basements until you're 30 trying to make it.

[darkar999]

@TheDevilSauce

and actually made good music

[jasfer3]

@TheDevilSauce at least he has some talent in his masturbating , you however couldn`t even come close to playing as well as he does. but you excel at crack smoking so that`s ok I guess right?

[grimchain]

@TheDevilSauce

fucking metal

[NinjaRunningWild]

@TheDevilSauce No, that's what people who try to *copy* the 80's do.

[SMWhit3out]

@TheDevilSauce IT IS ABOUT MASTUBATORY GUITAR SOLOS, and if you think the 80s had shitty haircuts you can go straight fuck yourself

[darusbak]

Dude, you are good. Nice playing man.

[supremacyh1]

He skipped every class. But made it to the talent show. Fuck yeah

[carlosHjrzz]

this guy rules

[TheMayhemMan]

he's good

[bromie9999]

dude



[verdemanthe1]

did the 17 year old come on after this old dude

[MrTHEdarkside134]

Lets see what he can do versus Jacky Vincent!!!!

[ProIntervention]

@TheUDAProductions right?

[StefanB2112]

[ProIntervention]

@StefanB2112 do you even play guitar dude? lmao this aint weak its good
