Look at Slash, CC DeVille, or a number of guitarist that just give a rats ass about looks. My God Cole you are amazing. I recently watched your vidz at 11 to recent and you truly got better with time. Truly a great talent esp. at your age. I do think your a bit young to be makin love to that guitar like that though muhahahaha
I'm 11 and I've got that guitar and Line 6 Spider 4 amp and I think i'm almost as good as this guy (You are Amazingly EPIC!!!) and I've been playing for 7 yrs
I know ive commented before, but you obviously have a lot of skill when it comes to music, timing, intonation, ect. you certainly can play while you sing, especially a four chord progression! so do it!
So what will it be? A. got talent? American Idol? Band? solo? dude i think the choice is yours, cant wait to buy ur first big time album, and know i seen you since like 12
Your pretty good, i like your style, of course, if i had all of the expensive equipment and guitars you had i might be inclined to be even better than i am now, which at this point is not at your level, i am fourteen. Keep on playing, but sometimes you should thank who ever buys this equipment for you, because they say its not the guitar and its the player, but it quite often if the former to a large extent.
@zekethehillbilly My apologies if i came across bitter and pathetic, although i don't believe i did. It was certainly not my intention, i did post this comment right after the fender amp that i spent months working for broke, and the warranty didn't cover the fix. Then i see this kid, with literally more than 10,000 dollars of equipment (the guitar is 3,000 i believe, pedals probably 600, mic. 150, lord knows what amps and stacks he has, and at the time, it made me frustrated.
You're gonna make some money, might or might not be a star, but you will make a living. Try not to take it too seriously. Some guy said angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly. Glen
Damn - right now I'm staring at all "my girls"(guitars) and my rig and I'm really floored by your performance. Some of us have to work really hard to get 1/10th as good as you are...great voice, great axemanship, great scrunched up music face even...you got it all dude! Keep it up, you'll go as far as you want to with music and no one will stop you...rock on!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why? put that stupid face when you play the solo that does not make you a better guitarist just makes you look like a retard, that's not feeling the blues that's being an idiot who thinks it's bb king, stop making those stupid faces, apart that, you play well
that was good you got much better compared to the playing the blues 3yrs previously with the ibanez. could do with less facial expression, the kid is young and good though
hmmm....i like it, you have a good combination of singing and playing, but just remember, playing super fast doesnt always mean better! You didn't quite push it off the ledge on this song, but you were pretty close to overdoing it, but anyways, good job :)
Just great singing and playing!...now i think ive solved the mystery, did you play the high street in Santa Barbara a couple of months ago?...cos if that was you i wish i'd have told you how great you were then!
wow dude great pipes. i wasnt as good as you when i was that young, but i do remember how much the music and guitar meant to me. when i watch your vids i see that look on your face and it makes remember how frickin cool it really was. thank you
i have been playing for years, but until i saw clapton live did i realized the difference in guitar players. clapton has the skill of being part of his guitar. thats when you go home and you play all day and night like you have discovered something new. this kid has that art. not that he is a clapton, but on his way. great job little guy. bigman55434 you suck and you will really suck when you are buying this kids music one day.
Welcome to Youth Arts Forum. I have to say that this version of Dear Mr. Fantasy is special. We are proud to have you as a member. Don't forget the October contest
Now this kid feels his music! Not like all these douch bags around here that only care about perfection. Feeling your instrument is most important. Perfection comes after.
Welcome back Cole. Got the message you posted a new vid so I had to come check it out. Your singing is getting better and you are looking more confident doing it. As usual your guitar playing is superb, keep up the good work and please post more often.
Wow, Cole--- you continue to set the bar higher and higher. Thanks for the e-mail letting me know that you posted this! It's always been my favorite Traffic song and you knock it out of the park, as usual! Excellent vocals, too--you're finding your voice with confidence. Looking forward to more!
Hey Cole ! Another great job ! You keep getting better and better.Glad to see you with a new video.You should check out the Zoom Q3 video recorder 250.00 bucks but the audio is awesome.I am ordering one for my next video.Tell Rich I said hey !
You have an awesome feel for music and totally breathe life into it. Love both the guitar play and vocals. You have a wonderful voice and attitude. Hope the future holds great things for you.
very nicely done! You keep getting better and I loved the casual atmosphere! You might do a "Jonny Lang" next time and be barefoot! LOL Enjoyed it very much!!!
feelin alright we just saw Dave Mason who i think play guitar on this song. any who he did this song and blew it out of the park. we were in 2nd row he made it look easy he old but plays good. Go see him if u can Everyone liked this song so maybe keep this one when u turn pro.
he said it was good to be any where haha he also said he started in teens just like u
maybe u b in rock and roll hall of fame like him thxs for the song cole
This is one of the old man's favorite Traffic songs. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't know the name, but as soon as the guitar kicked in I knew the song!
You've got talent! Keep it up!
