[TheCourtney1027]

This guy sucks dick.... Come talk to me when you can play cani

[TheWizardTree]

keep rockin man!

[MrJoncando]

tip top m8..wish I was you ..well done _ JoHnny la Grenouille

[feldmannpaul]

Very well played mate, I thought you were consistant, sped up a few times I think and your right hand seemed forced at points but fuck me, if was sitting on a stage playing that, with a pair of shorts on like that, I would be crapping myself too. Brilliantly held together.

[616randall]

yeah nice shorts.

[yawn896]

soooo cute

[STEVESFLYINHI]

very good! only criticism i can think of is maybe slow down a tiny bit to get the real emotional feel of the piece. the real jimmy feel

[heroinesatori]

liked the whole progressive feel you gave to it. .but felt like u were too much trying the play the thing rather than flowing with the music, know what i mean(not everywhere though). .and the best part YOU DID NOT IMITATE JIMMY PAGE COMPLETELY BUT IMPROVISED! ! a great musician in the making ; )

[1111Stick]

Slooowwww down

[Popmadon]

your fingers move at the speed of light- you are a crazy crazy man. BEST guitarist on you tube! Keep up the solid work..

[MrTonytwofingers]

omg! malakia left the corn feilds!

[FriedChickenofDeath6]

Good playing, but you need to FEEL ;)

[rfd10]

no timing.......

[06mgibson]

nice socks

[seanplowe]

DHS > SPC. lol noob. Good work, by the way.

[crocopscarfie]

@seanplowe hey raisin

[seanplowe]

DHS > SPC

[FullEffectDJ]

I just watched Jimmy Page play this on another video... I think you did a phenomenal job. I wasn't sure if I wanted to play the White Summer - and Black Mountain Side medley, until I heard you play it! You absolutely nailed it. Amazing talent. Not too fast at all... Jimmy page used to be so sloppy, you played it so clean and clear. Click on my name for my version of Stairway on my Double Neck.

[WhiteAsBread]

now I know what the song sounds like in fast forward . . . . . . . play with some feeling geez . . . . .

[arnaud360]

that's sick!

[dangerousdeadlydavid]

That's awsome for two years bro, way to throw yourself in the deep end,

[xxsolidsteelxx]

Its a little fast. But nonetheless it takes guts to go up there and play. Mad props.

[aptaylor1994]

Youre great for 2 yrs. Just keep working

[alxsitumorang]

wow... it's great play guys

[nothingbutrock666]

no Danelectro, dang!! :(

[BuffaloStylez]

Wow. Good job kid. I guess there's not much to do but play guitar in new zeland

[crazydragon50]

Great playing, I am big ZOSO fan, seen LZ 3 times during '70s...I enjoyed your fine guitar playing, thank you and keep it up....the socks will have to go soon....FANTASTICA

[Calibersz]

Did you win?

[datsun07]

Great job bud...never stop playing!

[SeptimusKincaid]

this is great

it sounds quite a lot more like bert jansch or davy graham whose versions of these songs jimmy page drew upon

but that's just because acoustic will always sound more folky

[therealplease]

you need lighter strings for that my friend

[BigGunsBates]

2 years! That was amazing! I would have guessed 10+ years

[marcobrena]

sloooooooooww

[babiesrevil]

Nice playing for only 2 years :) P.S. kick-ass socks XD

[crazygeegee]

absolutely amazing thanks for sharing 

[tp10488]

Good job, man. Pay no heed to the U-Tube critics.

[BUMDRIP]

Take no notice of the critics who probably dont even play guitar, there just good at talking shite, good job dude.

[fender44]

Nice one, well done to you. All you "muppets" sitting there criticising and writing stupid inane comments about socks & Angus Young etc. for christ sake, he's a school kid, who obviously has tried his damndest, and at least he's not trying to emulate "Jedward" or some other non-entity. We should be encouraging him, not to knock him for at least trying. Rant Over !

PS: I don't this kid from Adam, so it's not favouritism either !

[jonrowe150]

thats really good 

[BonjourRich]

Two years my arse.

[da324]

I think you're playing it to slow, faster man, faster...

[xJimmyleex]

too fast :S

you can play very nice , when you play it a little bit slow , then it will sound epic i think !

[nickpoker]

Good. Missing some soul though.

[Korg8000]

It's great dude, but you know your playing Jimmy Page and not Angus right?

[mokaey]

@Korg8000 probably a school uniform thing.

[cbproducktions]

GREAT job man, but next time wear jeans

[natash141]

holy shit! i only know first 3 minutes of this song :p

[strattdo]

your legs are so white i cant tell where your socks stop and where your legs start

[mmerx]

tough song.. but keep practising. Eventually you'll look back and say "wow, i sucked"... but by then you'll be AWESOME.

[borntoclimb91]

What is this, amateur hour? SLOW DOWN.

[red6sky6is6ours]

very tough song to play...too many extras in between not really needed mate.. and nice socks

[d1sullivan]

Excellent! That is a hard song!

[whosurdaddy452]

amazing

[Cavin8r]

Beautiful. I hope you didn't win, because that performance deserves better. :)

[UAskygal]

Positively captivating! =] Richard, you have found your calling...

[Biotendo]

Wow. Creative and still retained basic elements of the song. I dont think people at my school would appreciate such fine guitar work. Nice keep it up man!

[MotoDaddy123]

Nice :)

[Kitcomedy]

Nice performance, good interpretation I say

[timkibodeaux12]

Are you people retarded? He is dressed like Angus Young? Ever heard of him? AC/DC? Duh.... Leave the kid alone...

[IGuitarV2]

Metronome always work for black mountain side. The rest was superb.

[minotmedic]

You have huge balls. Way to show an auditorium full of people what you can do. Outstanding.

[bradylaptop]

complex song, nice job

[TheMiscellaniums]

Those who criticize need to put their own videos up about THEIR interpretation of Mr. Page's song. Then be bullshitting about his video.

[poobumwillyfartface]

JANESSA!

[aemanon]

its obvious that you cannot read sheet music, tempo terrible, sounds awful

[mrwright009]

i hope you won!

[Toology83]

His version. Pretty cool. You def. gotta somke some weed man and lose the socks

[zepp1977]

tempo is way off.

[joshuafrye182]

@zepp1977 its a solo piece so he can play it in any tempo or free time if he should so choose.

[zepp1977]

@joshuafrye182 which is cool, but then entitle it "my interpretation of..."

[TheDomPavic]

amazinng goood form

[greencircleclassy]

amazing, get high as a kite and grow your hair about foot and a half longer and then well be talking !!

[anuragtiwary]

Whatever this guy is trying to play is somehow ok, But it 's not closer to white summer/black mountain side (The original one) except very few parts, rather nice try for a kid.

[geetarist666]

ive actually played this song at a talent show and played it better then shmow. no flow at all.

[newname363]

for just a sec i thought he was wearing an angus young outfit

[glaxev]

thisguys a legend

[ChucklingPenguin]

yeah i mean i was wondering about the socks but i mean that might be some school uniform but real shit you killed that song good job keep playing you got talent you can make it somewhere

[Pozer714]

Great song choice, and you got this most complicated song down too! Good job! Add a little soul, and you got it!

[BIGJOHN3212]

don't be too critical? critical on what bro?!

that was great man, don't listen to some of these folks, that song's difficult enough on an electric and you did a great job on the acoustic.

[jfiglioli]

seriously. amazing job

[HarlequinForest8]

Jimmy Page would like this. Not so much the socks, but the performance.

[19Atticus]

Wow!

[xp0ferens]

music is not about competitions

[6378962ROCK]

@xp0ferens true

[dkinsight138]

@xp0ferens cunt

[ironlionzionBrian]

you got my vote

[siyaevine]

i liked your short:))

[nirvana911]

Great playing for 2 years, keep practicing.

[sluch44]

k verGUENZA!!!!

deja la guitarra weii!!

[rapoda01]

wtf =/ sounds off nothing like the dvd

[4youk]

TAB! awsome btw

[SifuScamstar]

Rushy even

[SifuScamstar]

wow! Where did you get socks like that!? Nice playing kid. A bid rughy, but nice!

[Vladimir09Lenin]

@SifuScamstar

shut up, punk, and listen to the way this kid slays the song. this shit is entirely difficult on an accoustic.

if you want to talk foolish banter on sports, go to espn.

[rajuas]

I wanna know the tune for this piece

[ledzeppelinandthewho]

I believe that it's both e strings and b strings tuned a whole step down.

[henrytdsimmons]

DADGAD

[todrrez]

Great job kid...keep it up. Looking forward in seeing you play it again soon.

[Zimbib270]

You'll get better, but good stuff! BMS was too fast!

[lestmbly]

Jeeez... look at these white legs haha

[1976Zoso]

the reason why he can play like this when hes only played for 2 years is because of DEDICATION! he probably played and played this song for at least 2 or 3 months straite with out look at other songs, its what u gotta do if u wanna be good

[perrolascivo]

nice

[nik3887]

Dude is that a Christ's College uniform?

[loverools]

did u do  a couple of lines b4 u performed?

[tonytheman27]

you slow it down and put more feel into it and u got it kid

[darknessgodzamorak]

This kid is challenging Angus with the outfit? lol...just joking...now for the playing...

THIS KID FUCKING S....ROCKS!!!holy shit...2 years and he can play THAT good....holy shit...

[supermax1776]

Good job - excellent choice of tune.

Jimmy Page would be proud of the music, and Angus Young would be proud of the outfit.

Well done.

[Dwslassls]

Hah, love it.

[IricForset]

this should be called White Summer/ Black Mountain side x 2 Speed

[RyanBugye]

you can play guitar good, but the timing was kinda you know off and you were playing a bit to fast for alot of it put more emotion into it :)

[mpf324]

that was great. did you win the competition?

[DONNANDMARY]

youve been playing only 2 years? whoa! KUDOS TO YOU! wish i could do it . more!!!

[zandermagic]

Great job, very nice.

[evil911666]

damn fool dat was good! but you messed up the timeing, u needed a drummer, and you need to play it with attitude, (but props on the trippy sock's :D)

[GameCtrl]

it was pretty good apart from the fact that you played a whole diff song couse of the timing that you radically changed

[muecyl]

oh, and my lady has a she boner

[muecyl]

you gave me a man to man boner

[LedZeppagain]

slow down man!

[munchie180]

this dude was so scared he jetted of like a bat out of hell not even workin the

[kevykev38]

You did a great job!!! I will not call you "Mate" Cause that's someone you have sex with.

[kevykev38]

What's with the funny clothes?

[wwwgotristancom]

brilliant mate!

[BassDude50000]

nice socks

[dkinsight138]

@BassDude50000 cunt!

[costa1953]

well done mate ... good performance

[BILL14075]

good job and great songs ... i see your being influenced by one of the best ever to play guitar in rock music, sure sounds classy , alot better and less compilcated then the jazz / fusion stuff i was listening to prior to this video.

[seantheguitarman11]

how could i learn this without having to deal with tabs

[deweypug]

Make a deal with the devil, it seemed to have worked for Robert Johnson...

[AraGuitar]

sheet music or by ear, naturally

[skateracl]

use your ears

[einzep]

we'll assume he's channeling Angus Young

[MaxwellsAttourney]

well he clearly goes to a private school. That's just a basic apparel. But yeah, does look like Young.

[MONOTALES]

naaaaag bad , cry naaa bad, +++++bad

[TheGeeWhy]

that was really good man... im going to try to learn this song now... only thing i saw off was the timing seemed to be a bit off at about 4:15, but the playing was all good

[withease9]

make friends with some dancers man and do creative stuff with artists, writers, cooks,. everybody and let's just all take shrooms on a full moon august saturday night and jam out and make art and look at stars and get fresh country air somewhere. out side of New York somewhere.................

come on everybody.....let's n0t get in to this shit on tv let's just listen to terence mckenna and just ... i dunno ,,,....chilllll..........Love Peace

[zoomflesh]

like yer style and advice

[withease9]

Nice video dude,

Lot's of myestery in this footage. with you and your school boy style. Make use of this imgery and get some dancers in tastefully bizzare masks and out fit. doit. get some of your female friends to do some crazy stuff on stage with you. sort of like a where the wild things are kinda thing. you just keep playing that b. Jansch stuff. and make more videos centered around school boy playing Janschy shit. that would be awesome!

[pizaa007]

very nice... i loved it !

[garbeaj]

Good job man! Really good for only two years...Definitely look for some better transcriptions that can help you get the fingerings correct,"Black Mountainside" has been transcribed accurately in a few magazines,but I had to figure out "White Summer" from The Yardbirds 'Little Games album-more coherent than the BBC or Albert Hall versions-your technique is good overall,really good for playing such a short time-you have been working hard! Your improvs are cool too-keep at it!

[xXshermanaterXx]

what the fuck are you wearing?? nice sox

[Voroman]

nice Richy, saw you in town last week!

[skilletchops]

This guy has real feeling! and a complex sensitivity to his playing! GREAT JOB!

[jwandhistools]

Sounds great for 2 years playing.

[140895]

and, are you gonna take some coffee with that socks?

[140895]

who is your teacher? tell him to retire, because he don't know how to teach. what a shit, you screwed up the music, you shitty asshole! i've been playing for just one year and I have much more music vision than your shitty vision. I can complement jimmy's music's, not screw them up like you did.

[lordieuan777]

Dude, you are an asshole.

I'd like to see you try and learn all of this and "compliment" it correctly.

What are you on about, "vision", anyway?

[140895]

if you think cool musics are the same as hard-to-play musics, you should change you vision. Vision is the capacity of somebody to do the right combinations in each music scale. and i do more woman than you.

[turtleman76210]

hmmmm yes. you are right about the "musics". i bet you do "do more woman than me" hmm do more women? so is your chick fat or something? i dont think she would appreciate you saying that. but hey maybe i should "change you(my) vision" oh and last of all learn to type properly.

[turtleman76210]

okay so obviously 104895 is either a victom of improper parenting or he was just raped. whatever the case, this guy (140895) should just go cut his balls of and put some lead through his face.

[140895]

hey man, i remember you! you're my friend!i'm john, from the early schooltime!

[lordieuan777]

Cool music is cool music. If it's hard to play, that's irrelevant. You can have hard to play stuff that isn't cool (Dream Theater) and stuff that's cool and isn't hard to play (AC/DC).

Please, just go to hell.

[140895]

i'm just tryin' to say that i would be ashamed of myself if I had to play somethink like that^

i love white summer, but the big coffee socks boy

up there still hasn't got the spirit of good changes in music, and he shouldn't embrace it yet. If the changes are not gonna make it sound at least OK, don't use it.

[topoftopanga]

So true

[140895]

so true what? my commentary or the others's?

[chea1500]

FUCK ONLY TWO YEARS BRO!!!! ur awesome

[caseyjones67]

great job man im diggin the socks

[LedZeplican]

good job!

[harlan1988]

cool vid. i give you an aplus! just to have the balls to get up and do this song!

[MrMesserschmit]

your stance is a bit poor and some of the notes were accidentally muted but that was a fucking excellent version of the tune

[MrMesserschmit]

PS i love ur shorts!!!

[sk8rman16]

wow i love the sound of that guitar

[joe85rtta]

ooooooooooooooohhh

myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

gooooooooooooooood

[Tom123collins]

[seagullsummer]

Heavenly.....the sound quality is crystal clear.....it's very traditional sounding......not slow, haunting and eerie.....A plus !!

[danslatente]

that's my fucking guitar

[Manfromperu]

he not on drugs? too fast....too jumpy but fucking good effort!......now give me some of that wizz you on!!!

[scarredman42]

kinda sketchy at times but over all, nice job. I know, no body can't be Page but him... *chuckle*

TC -

[jasondobbie]

awesome job man,

[Wiguena]

Hahahah, oh yeah angus!!!!! but... jimmy is better :P

[graynovskima]

slow down. your timing is pretty off. listen to the song... 2 years of playing shouldn't be an excuse :/ . You are talented enough to improve on this. Decent job. oh and ... nice socks :P

[kcin1004]

haha, dude you a fucking asshole

[LtStarkiller]

Angus!

[telybilly]

absolutely great job,

it would be even better better if you tap your foot or something so you can have a spot on timing

[FutureKubrick]

I've been playing for over 3, and I can't do that!

[Dirigible46]

he could have spent 2 years on this one song

[FutureKubrick]

Well then I better get started!

[hiddenbase]

there is no way you learn that much in 2 years...seriously
