[metalhead24ful]

[lucymai1]

[HHPhotography1]

Incredible!!!



[9Velja9]

You are one hot kid. :P :)))

[tigey2233]

Why are you 'AWSOME' ?? Teach me please !

[Metala7xfan2489]

All your videos are awesome! Your definitely one of my top favorite guitarists on YouTube!

[Crow69666]

Amazing

[Boot2yourHead]

great sound, nice that you share here on the tube. love the emotion you put into the way you play. your incredible

[AceGamingProductions]

Sounds like how i played when i was 13:')

[RAWRisLUVinDINO]

Love!

[haruglory6890]

marry me when you're 18 :( 

[adzixxx]

it sure is a lot of fun to browse through your videos, some excellen stuff in there, very impressive. what i would love is a better audio quality, as in recording it and then syncing your video to the recorded audio. but that's no criticism, just a wish ;) all the best for your musical future.

[stefano9702]

holy crap ur really good i cant belive it im so jelouse

[johntg123]

@DreamTallica6666 Thanks for the comments. I play in a manner that works for me - I understand economy of motion etc I have all the speed I need - I played this as fast as Zakk and I can play ir much faster. Regarding clean - I just learned how to record using my Boss GT-10 into an IMac - also the tone is much cleaner. Is your name the blend of Dream Theater and Metaillca? If so odd combination!

[DreamTallica6666]

@johntg123 hehe yeah, I guess everyone can have their own way of playing. Thanks for taking the time to post in response, and regarding my name, it is a blend of those two bands indeed! I was a lot into them when I created this account but im into other stuff now

cheers

[MessedUpDemon]

are you able to play eruption fowards?

[johntg123]

@MessedUpDemon Yeah I have it on my youtube channel - check out my other videos.

[SuperWwjd]

willl u come play at my youth GROUP plz

[johntg123]

@SuperWwjd Where i syour youth group located, what state/country?

[RubenSynyster]

Good technique but I think that in the short parts when you play your ideas you are without feelings.. Good fingers, bad music

[marinelovesuperman]

amazing playing but seriosly you can wear an another shirt where we don't see all your boobs :) i want to see your talent not your boobs!

[boobfacemango]

What exercises did you use to practice to get where you are now? :D

[Metala7xfan2489]

I'm dying to have fingers half as fast as you! Your very talented!

[johntg123]

@Metala7xfan2489 Thank you. Just practice my fingers are no different then yours

[ericblacklabel84]

one hell of a good job, keep it up and lets here some more bls !

[tomitook10]

Taylor marry me ♥

[HVoltage152]

If I were rich, I'd send you money to get better recording equipment, because I know what its like to be held back by poor recording quality... I love your technique btw, keep it up :) 

[ArbiterThelVadamee]

If you weren't so young, I might be in love.

[nimitzjr1]

WOW..NUFF SAID!

[EvilTho]

Im 15 now and soon i get my brother's broken (only the strings) guitar fixed (He doesnt play anymore) and i would be very proud if i could play Twinkle Twinkle little star haha :P Your just amazing no other girl of your age can be better, At least.. I think so :P Great job! Keep going on

[RockandMetal645]

Really good playing. (better than me I'll admit... lol) I'm surprised no one has wanted you in a band. yet. Seriously. Great Skills keep playing =D

[xM4ddi3x]

[happygilmore06]

Too bad nobody really cares about awesome guitar playing anymore. Maybe one day we music will be back to where talent actually matters.

[MrJuanpablo2233]

[buddystevenson]

Inspiring, great guitar playing!

[richicious]

If I'd see and hear you playing LIVE at a small club for example.... I don't kno what would happen. You got so much feel in your playing. Go on doing...!

[johntg123]

@richicious Thank you I have discovered you can't play with feeling what you don't feel - if you do that is a lie.

[Deadrinker01]

@johntg123 WOW you look completely different but at the same time your the same as you were in your game changer...its like you grew but your hair is the same so im confuzzled...jeepers creepers

[TheFILTH85]

FUCK YES. you would do zakk proud & dimebag too for that matter. well done

[felipeawake]

your videos are very good, plus there's only one thing there is perfect, shooting them with a full HD camera there would be excellent .. ;)

[metalhead534]

do some megadeth

[Lentsku]

Ok what you now need to do is start listening to Children Of Bodom :D

[SmokinLogan92]

Do you take requests?

[bayley10p]

Damn, Your amazing

[ekoc92]

you´re very fast and very beautiful

[MrMvh92]

Hell you can play in a killer rock band, cause you're a killer player wow! I hope you achieve all you want in your life :)

[RonaldMoD]

How about the Django Reinhardt stuff? Do you like that? You seem to have the motoric skills! Check out eg. Andreas Oberg on Youtube :-)

[johntg123]

@RonaldMoD I have heard of Django Reinhardt but not Andres Oberg

[Royrommy]

Are you scandinivian?

[johntg123]

@Royrommy  I am French on my mom's side and Greek on my dad's side.

[JasonPatricks]

@johntg123 I would invite you to from a band but being from two different freaking continents, that'd be kinda hard to do xD But i'm sure someone with that talent will have no problem forming a band.

[GuitarHeroGreece]

@johntg123 ELLADARA!!!!!!!Sthn ellada meneis???

[georgenaruto1]

@johntg123 i am from greek to basicle i am from cyprus and i play guitar for one month u are great do you know greek?

[johntg123]

@georgenaruto1 I am half Greek on my Dad's side our last name was Hantgegeorgeou. When my grandpa came over from Greece he shortened our last name to George. Our family is from one of the islands - I think Salma - they use to be deepsea divers for sponges. I do not speak Greek but I have been thinking about attending Greek language lessons at the Greek Orthodox Church - I am not a member of the church but they do offer lessons. The universities only teach classical greek not modern greek.

[georgenaruto1]

@johntg123 i wish i can play like u at the future(i only do guitar lessons one month and my teacher says i am a talent)i practise about 3 hours a day is this good enouf?(sorry for my enlglish is not very good)

[georgenaruto1]

@johntg123 i wish i can play like u at the future(i only do guitar lessons one month and my teacher says i am a talent)i practise about 3 hours a day is this good enouf?(sorry for my enlglish is not very good)

[johntg123]

@georgenaruto1 There is a difference between practicing the guitar and playing the guitar. Three hours is a long time to stay focused and productive. I do a one hour intense practice.

[georgenaruto1]

@johntg123 ok thx:)pls wish me good luck!if you do it i have a chance to be as good as you are

[bladez765]

Hey awesome job on this zakk wylde cover you rock !! cal !!

[kevykev38]

Stunning to watch. You have stunning drop dead looks and talent. Have you considered modeling?

[johntg123]

@kevykev38 Not really. I just want to play the guitar but thank you!

[karpov89]

@johntg123 I agree with kevykev38 but still I think you should do what you love are doing so great..there are many models but not so many truly great female rock guitar players!

[Mipercy]

marry me ^^

[Brazucaman]

can u play black sabbath? did u like old heavy metal?

[AfterMath428]

Wow you certainly grew up from that best 13 year old guitarist game changer video.

[johntg123]

@AfterMath428 I still play Game Changer every day

[AfterMath428]

@PANTERAFAN11111 gtfo

[greenie85]

[BuriedM96]

[holyevil]

[brentmbradley]

OH MY GOD I THINK I LOVE YOU! im 15 ive been a active guitarist for 8 years and i CANT even dream of becoming half as good as you! SLASH WISHES HE WAS AS GOOD!

[trenty90008]

[BigGanja0]

Really enjoyed that thanks so much for sharing... Keep on rockin' girl, that was totally awesome :)

[johntg123]

[Sanja326782]

[KiraRenaissance]

[deucemcallister13]

For the record...you have my utmost respect. Cheers dear.

[FTWjeff1965]

Please Harleymusic, really?!?! Keep up the good work young lady. The talent and soul is more than evident.

[johntg123]

@FTWjeff1965 Thank you. I was just wondering how Harley4Music could know what I feel? I may express it in a way that does not connect to Harley4Music but I feel the music!

[Harley4Music]

you feel nothing when you play guitar

[johntg123]

@Harley4Music I feel nothing or I don't express what I feel?

[phallictractor]

@Harley4Music why does that matter, idiot?

[Maxid1]

@Harley4Music So just listen and don't watch, see if it sounds like there's no feeling in it..

[metalh3ad546]

<3

[92DRR]

damn she's good at guitar, that's alll I gotta say. better than I'll ever be, how old is she anyways? "15 bud can"t you fucking read!" lmfao..

[sketchaftersketch]

D'you compose at all?

[johntg123]

@sketchaftersketch  I write but I want to be a band I have no desire to be a Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriana etc - they are great but I want to be in a killer rock band.

[JOETIBBS83]

You are amazing .... makes me wanna practice ( :

[marvbandicoot]

thats quite amazing. You sure you aren't zakk's daughter?!?!

[xeylace]

good job!

[svsulaser69]

Where are you from? My cousin used to have a band, but most of the band members died. he plays the drummers and is looking to restart his band. He needs guitar players. He is 26.

[andyj2012]

wow..just wow....

[Hellraiserzzz]

i'd go a bit easier on the vibratos, otherwise, perfect!

[MimicYeoman]

you are truly amazing

[Kiobas99]

you're beautiful, and talented

[YourComputerExpert]

I feel the emotion in your play, and that means you're awesome.

[VULIMINAL]

great job, continue playing guitar , if you gonna have a boyfriend, make sure that guy plays something lol....

[ameerzakee730713105]

Girl you are badass!!!

[JackFreeman4U]

[MasterclassNL]

[MasterclassNL]

[ICONicJill]

You are soooo good. I'm 13 and started learning guitar half a year ago

[crazydud741]

how old are you???

[johntg123]

@crazydud741  15 years old

[TiCReMiXTaC1]

suuuper :D

[helruna93]

Great stuff... loved it. You ought to do a lot more. Hope you find a cool band! Amazing stuff... and never give it up.. You ought to do ratings mind. I don't care what people say, unless it's constructive. Do the same. Let hater's lie in the dirt.

BTW... that IRON in the background is still in the same place since 2009. Glad to see that pinky going!

[arethemad]

If you'd work on playing more melodic bluesy jazz stuff you'd be unstoppable. Great job this is fantastic.

[erikopostigo]

Good!!! 5 stars

[hugostiglitz7]

All i can say is that I guess you are better than Jaqueline Mannering..

[johntg123]

@hugostiglitz7 I love her new song "Raining"

[Tha2ndWimp]

@hugostiglitz7 No

[gingarboiii]

Where you from?

[johntg123]

@gingarboiii Southern California

[goldgretch]

Listen to Joe Pass and Johnny Smith.

[metal40050]

Play a dragonforce song, Thats a real challenge!

[Wessel99]

nice boss gt 10. i have the same and they are really good

nice cover

[johntg123]

@Wessel99 Thank you. I just got a used Mesa Boogie Half Stack - triple rectifier. I am having trouble getting the GT-10 to work with the half stack - the MB has better tone without the GT-10. I am not using the pre-amp....any advice?

[Wessel99]

@johntg123 what is the biggest problem with the boss GT-10?? if the MB has a better tone then don't use the GT-10...

[johntg123]

@Wessel99 The MB does not have phase, delay, reverb and so on - these are effects that are on the GT-10 but when I use them the quality of sound out of MB is not as good

[Wessel99]

@johntg123 try to download a clean effect to your boss GT-10 that is what i did (i have the zakk wylde overdrive extra) when you download a clean effect it might be sound way better.

(search on youtube how to download patches ''midi files''to your GT-10 it isn't very hard)

if you can't figure it out how it works , send me a message and i can make a tutorial for you

good luck and please upload some new videos ;)

[dadlove759]

I think just watched all of your videos, You are AWESOME!!! The only thing that sucks is you are STAR! with no light. Set up more light 4 your star dad.

P.s How about some SCORPIONS

[johntg123]

@dadlove759 What do you mean - set up a light?

[dadlove759]

@johntg123 I just mean some of the videos are dark ! You are that good, just think everyone should see you.

more light in front not behind (in some of the videos). All that trouble to learn how to play like that you should

have a spot light on you.You will see what I mean when you are put on tv.

[l3oogeyman]

how did i miss this one??ohhh yeah i didn't subscribe a few months ago lol... u have improved quite a bit since the last time i watched you play!MAD SKILLZ n hella talent Taylor!! I'll have to show my daughter your vids... YOU ROCK!! \m/ ( - - ) \m/

[mightyerle]

I'd love to hear you do some traditional I-IV-V blues tracks. That PRS single-cut would sound soooo smooth on a clean channel. Definitely looking forward to future vids from you.

[sac49091]

to dad, if you need technical assistance on recording I can put in touch with a sound technician that is my best friend and he would be happy to give you some advise on recording. If you live near Sacramento, CA, he can record her in his studio.

[johntg123]

@sac49091 Thank you actually were in Southern California

[sac49091]

@johntg123 If you still need some assistance on how to set up a good, and inexpensive, way to record let me know and I'll pass on his e-mail or phone number.

[The11148081]

OMG .. O.o! so cool.!!! espectacular..!! felicitaciones..!! from Colombia, QUE VIVA EL ROCK!!!!

[AntonioCapacho]

i just lost my jaw... it droped so low it buried itself... cheers from Venezuela you are a great musician and a role model.

[guitarfreak23397]

girl...i wish i could meet someone like you.

young great guitarist of my skills and the same age as me

damn.

i guess i just dont have that much luck in my life

and btw i loved how you played it.

[PromiseofDeathify]

enjoy the music

[UndeadGun572]

Holy sweet jesus... .That was amazing... Wish i was that good.... Only been playing for a year though XD

[renanwild1]

wow...you're great ^^

[KasperRungbergMusic]

Good! but terrible sound! and you need to put little moore feeling in to it!

[MrDrinver]

Such high guitar skills and such a cute smile at the end!

[MickeyYahoo]

Great tune - more musical (and less athletic sounding) than the other tunes. I'd say she would do to link up with other highly talented teens and just go where they will. Great guitar playing.

[NessaN97]

OMG your guitar skills are SICK!! And im like IN LOVE with your guitar! What type is it? I have a MAHAR Sunburst guitar. I like just got it a couple months back. Still learning songs.

[Foquifox]

I'm 15 now, and I love this song, I read the description and I learned it too, cause its sooo good. I play it everyday!!

[uuutog]

wow,AMAZING,,,REALLY IMPRESSIVE !!!!!

[Dave102693]

You've gotten better as you said, in the first video I've ever seen of you playing the guitar today. :)

[isaklovetilda]

ME GUSTA

[xXBronzedBalletXx]

THIS is badass. hehe

[XXGunsxRxUsXX]

Like :)

[vnleon1]

like like

[kevinsayahofficial]

what the hell thats amazing! i couldn't play this song if my life depended on it. great job, great shredding, all you need is to get signed now.

[PrjRAPTOR]

You are very good but you need a way of recording your guitar better. It wouldn't be very expensive either.

[johntg123]

@PrjRAPTOR Any advice on equipment?

[LebSobar]

@johntg123 hook ur gt-10 to a computer

[johntg123]

@LebSobar This is her dad - I have done that but there are additional steps like drivers or assigning audio and so on - I will give it another try this weekend. Thank you

[LebSobar]

@johntg123 try the zoom drivers they are pretty good

[LebSobar]

try plugging it into a mac. maybe with logic pro or something :)

[Dorph95]

@johntg123 Just get a cheap usb interface, buy a mic for recording guitar cabinets, like an sm57 and use a free recording program like audacity! Much better than using a cheap video recorder!

[snakeweirdo]

@johntg123 Even just a line 6 pod is better than this. Or buy a cheap Shure microphone and put it through some kind of recording device.
