WoWWWWWWWW!!!! you are an amazing talent for one so young!!!! My friend and I are telling everyone to listen to you ......and , yea , we have connections with some good people.............KEEP ON ROCKIN !!!!
Wow Man, I gotta say you are unbelievable and what is more unbelievable is that anyone would leave any comment that wasn't 100% complimentary. In a time of so much mass produce electro crap, the world needs people willing to master the guitar and other instrument to remind us of what real music is.
Don't ever stop doing what you are doing. You are the real deal
The first part was like a Satch song (delta jam, or something like that) and then you went into some eruption style tapping but after that it was really great!
Great playing kid, don't listen to any youtube criticism man, if any of the clowns who post critique for your playing could actually play real virtuoso style guitar they would have been on Guitar Idol, not you... Great job and I totally dug the performance and tone on Guitar Idol... keep it going...
maybe mainstream stuff works better for you. instrumental music is for devoted musicians, or for those who admire fine musicianship.
speaking the fact, i presumed you're not a musician; or if you're, unless your musical skills/appreciation go to a higher level, you'll find instrumental stuff dull or too complex to perceive.
You could have won guitar idol comfortably if you'd entered with a written piece rather than a jam, and had worked on your performance more. Guerro only won because he was constantly smiling.
I loved your entry and I loved your performance even more - I think your a real virtuoso and I'd kill to be that good. I really wanted to watch you and miyata at GI2008. Did you get a chance to meet miyata while you were there?
What do you mean Guerra won because he was smiling? He can play better than anyone on the site. But you are right about the Jam. He could of one with a composition.
Congratulations! who knew Thurso was hiding the new Satch. amazing to do so well in the guitar idol against such fantastic talent! gawn yersel wee man
WOW!!! That is the sh**! It's great to see someone with chops like yours going off on the blues. Makes me laugh out loud. Thanks for posting, and how bout some more.
Hey FAT-BOY, you deleted the true-est comment that's ever been posted. So, I was right, you're ego IS greater than your ability. You only allow the posts of folks who kiss yer arse and delete the ones who tell it like it is. Yeah, the truth 'can' hurt sometimes.
Balance is important in life, but you ain't got a life.
As for your comment being the "true-est" (english obviously isn't your strong point), we'll have to agree to disagree. I do go out and play gigs. So you may not like what I do, that's fair enough, but surely a grown man such as yourself has better things to do with his time than argue with a teenage boy?
LYLE, LET ME TRY TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. i READ YOUR ARTICLE IN THE DAILY RECORD ABOUT YOU HOPING TO PLAY GUITAR FOR A LIVING. DON'T WORRY SON YOUR FUTURE IS ASURED AS BEING ONE THE TOP PLAYERS, IF NOT 'THE' TOP PLAYER IN THE WORLD WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR VIDEO TO JOE SATRIANI AND HE MAY JUST TAKE YOU UNDER HIS WING, GOOD LUCK, YOU DESERVE IT.
congratulations for being one of the guitar idol finalsist's....ir was pure merit!very good playing dude you are the youngest guitar idol finalist so congratulations!!
Congrats for Guitar Idol. You are an impressive guitarist. You have the gift. I have subscribed. Great Satch boogie and Gary moore covers. The UK have incredible musicians. :))

lol...sry but i really dont like his playing... maybe hes quick and hes playing lot of technics but its only like "i really tried hard to play this...its not anything else then 'i tried hard' "... its like when i learn something to school...same his playing
Well it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing!
What I will say is try not to base your opinion on this video alone. I just sort of went mental and shredded like mad. But, if that's what you think of my playing, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it!
i didnt mean that you are bad or something...you are good and quick and everything... but its just playing you know... i dont sense anything special in your playing...thats all :) but i wish you good luck and lot of good... (sry for my english :D i hope youll understand)
its a disgrace your videos have such small viewing,theres piss poor guitar players peadling such shit on you tube,your tone,phrasing and of course swirl strat r top class,5/5 for you young sir
dude is this improvised over the backing track? If so your phrasing is great man, how old are you if you dont mind me asking? Just you look so young and yet you obivously have a talent.
It really isn't fair that you have that much talent at such a young age........the only advice that i could give you is learn as many different styles as you possibly can.
