12 Year Old Guitarist Shredding

[OGShively]

This kid is almost exactly like me at age twelve. Same haircut, same build, same style clothing.

Only difference is that this little shit hogged all the talent.

[jvilo80]

This kid is fucking awesome!! Good to see kids have heart in music these days!! Tear it up!!!

[bacon4life123]

wtf dude kicking daisies is not ur style... avenged sevenfold is

[bacon4life123]

avenged sevenfold shirt!! yeeeaaahhh!!!

[SergeantMarcus]

@InsanEMetal654 This was posted in 2008, though. So, he was playing for more than a year. Still amazing, though.

[InsanEMetal654]

The description says "I've been playing since January 2007." and the video was posted in August. For not even a year of playing, you're phenomenal. I know this is 2 years late, but you're one hell of a player.

[bromley2k9]

Fucking awesome!!!!!!!

i have been a musician for 30 years. i have played in bands. majored in classical Guitar. known famous musicians such as Brian Setzer, Tommy Aldridge, Christopher Parkening. i use to smoke with Chuck Schuldiener. this kid can play. all you guys that are making jealous comments should go pull your heads out of your ass holes.

[lilgiant12345]

[TheJoulupukki97]

@Trevor1321 and what makes u think we care?

[denito730]

[95ps3lover]

HEY!!! WHOA!!!! WHY DO I SEE DISLIKES?!?!!?!?!?!?? YOU JEALOUS OR SOMETHING!?!?!!?!! jeez show some freaking respect!

[mrdrumstixx]

hey, on some videos in particular, you seem to be getting a lot of hate messages. i personally think you are very talented, but might i suggest using the word "playing" instead of shredding, just to get rid of the idiots? just food for thought.

[mrkitty265]

u scare me....

[LawrenceGordon92]

wow man, I didn't learn pinch harmonics till I was 13 and even then I was sketchy with them, good job. What wah pedal do you use?

[BlackManiac94]

[BallscapeSkillers]

diggin the shirt.

[KCspiral]

@Trevor1321 im not trying to be a dick but you seem to be like i was when i was younger you sweep super slow and with no particular shapes and its your greatest achievment, its alot more impressive to be able to do stuff like SRV or Jimi Hendrix, sweeping is easy but for some reason everyone thinks its hard, because of that every one finds it awesome

[xcaliburness]

a7x shirt ftwwww

[FfUZZ4RC4DE]

haha u kinda look like dave grohl

[ScreamThePainAway24]

Rock on little dude \m/

[MinaandMarelleCole]

[braindeadization]

[ultimateshadow899]

91 People Dont like 12 Year Old Shreddin' Masters.

[eew114]

avenged sevenfold FTW!!

[thebeastman88]

fag

[2moonsrock]

@thebeastman88 So you bash Justin Bieber with a gay ass 9 year old voice, and girly hair and you FUCKING dare saying he's a fag ? Get a life man (oh sorry, chick*)

[ManythingsiLove]

You're really good :)

[sexdad353]

jesus tap dancing christ! you fuckin jam the fuck out! the angels dont kill cover was gnar as it gets! especially when your fuckin 12!!!

[patrike12345]

So that took you 3 years to learn?

[jsbaf123456789]

nice avenged sevenfold shirt

[findanewgoddd]

im fifteen and you're way better than me. this is upsetting.

[MrN00BER]

@findanewgoddd same here. :i 15 and he kicks my ass i can only dream about being that good xD

[manolovillacritica]

@findanewgoddd Im 15 too, I have shitty gear, and he plays better than me, how do you think I feel?

[Steelbullets]

Not bad, i recommend watching some video by Paul Gilbert of Buckethead. If you really want to get better at soloing, i promise, that will make you 10 times better!

[crash12512]

he makes me look bad and im 13. how long have u been playing for?

[gjunki]

88 people cant even shred paper

[beterz]

bad ass bro... keep up the hard work. practice classical(mozart, bethoven), rock, and metal. stay versatile.

[cobracarlover]

How do you get the effects?

[999m4em]

kicking daisies is such a great bad man...i saw them at bamboozle.....ben is great now....so props to you man

[Moongrock]

Keep rockin!

[MusicCentral05]

@Aawsomerock i would suggest some Three days grace or somethin similar ive been playin for about a year and a half and those songs are easy and can help you get better

[richd1913]

@MusicCentral05 this is 100% true, the easier the song the better you get then you can move up to something harder like unholy confessions by a7x then you can learn one by metallica super easy song really gets your fingers moving, then learn crazy train, if you can play one by metallica then have it fade into crazy train and make it sound right then you can do anything lol

[XkostasmeX]

Keep playin' don't give up the guitar

[TheDemonicShit]

You look like young Dave Grohl.

And great job with the guitar, by the way!

[TheNicholasflamel]

a bit heavy on the fifth chords much? and pointless shredding does get boring

[cryan5280]

@Aawsomerock dude just play what you feel. I never liked to learn songs from books. Just mess around on the guitar, develope your own style, and just play. Trust me, feel can take you far.

[Swordron]

Nice, most people have to have some talent to do this. BTW, is a song you made up, or is it a real song?

[schecterguitarsfan]

i have to admit that this kid is better than me.

[BOTFA111]

@Trevor1321 i could play 32nd note-triplets at 300 bpm before i was born ;-) music is no contest.

[eggaudo]

Dude ur amazing! I saw this video a very long time ago and read u were in a band called Kicking Daisies. Im suprised ur trying to be a Disny band though. WTF! How long were u playin for wen u did made this video?

[MrFreddiebrandt]

nice playing anyone no how to get as many views as this?

[BrutalShredder4026]

u call this shredding i'm 12 and i'm fuckin better than u

[Megatallica12]

@BrutalShredder4026 Do you have any videos that can proof otherwise?

[guitarplaysalex]

@Trevor1321 im 12 too and i can sweep 3 4 and 5 string sweeps iv been playing for 4 years :) im too to fond of shredding tho

[Zinnycat]

@Trevor1321 Nice bro! At the time, I had only been playing for about a year and a half. Now Ive been playing for almost 4 years and I can barely watch them haha, its pretty embarassing. Ill post a new video soon though.

[jdogg288]

@Zinnycat Urg I wish I kept my guitar and not destroy it by taking apart the speaker...guitar i should have learned...

[1276magaki]

@Zinnycat dude if you say that this video is years back and you play veeeeerrryyyyy well in this video like a pro how well do you play now that you play for 4 years????

[tuxedoismydog28]

@Zinnycat dude u cant be embarresed at that u had way better skill than i do and ive been playing for 2 years and no offense but me being big at 17 and u the same size as the guitar in this video im pretty impressed

[IPwNYoU98]

@Zinnycat im 12 y old now, and wtf! you fckin own me! from who did you get teached to play guitar?!

[hallonsoda12]

@Zinnycat Are you born 1996? If so you're 15 like me? :) Haha i only play acoustic guitar at the moment but if you want to i can buy a better camera and post a video where i shred too? ;)

[natissue78]

thats better.....rocking in ya sis room with that doll house behind u was killing it fa me

[shred4yolife]

wow ur really good how long did it take you to actually be able to shred

[123marijn321]

this is pretty nice played, only one thing, not to be angry or so, but its not very special if a 12 year old is shredding. i have to say. i wasnt that good when i was 12, im still not. keep rockin!

[MrMarko97]

[oclandestin]

I found your videos by accident. This is not my kind of music at all, but I'm really impressed. For someone so young, you have a real feel for the music. Some people learn by slavishly copying, but you're obviously a natural talent. Best wishes : )

[joeychristello]
