  • he's not even doing the vibratos right, like at 1:09. fake :(

  • Cmon son, you will play the guitar and be famous or we will kill you

  • good for his age bad if he was any older

  • KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAYN

  • the white jimi hendrix, mam u have a gifted soon keep him out off trouble and he will achive great things

  • Idk, i wish it had more taste...those pinch harmonics were obnoxious. Like can u stop raping the pinch harmonics for like 5 seconds? And this is just my preference but i think they only sound good on the lower 4 strings, like anything on the b or the e is painful to listen to

  • at this age.... its amazing!!!!!!!!!

  • 2 words ..... Child Prodigy

  • dude from today , you are my IDOL . I really can't say something. AWESOME!

  • it´s pretty fast but i dont think this still sounds good ôO

  • 84 people cant play like this........

  • @Guitar1698 85 ;] lol

  • we got 84 haters in the house hahahah

  • I know feel shit about myself. Thanks dude! But seriously, you're fucking amazing mate, keep playing!

  • no matter what haters might say, i actually liked it :) it's nice to see a kid of that age playing such a nice rock n roll/hard rock solo. i'm sick and tired of all those metalheads just fast/sweep picking. nice job kid!

  • @mkwlord I hope you know that sweep picking and playing really fast (faster than this kid) takes more talent than playing hard rock...just sayin'...how about you try it and see how easy it is before you say you wish there were less metalheads...and just because you sweep pick doesn't make you a metalhead...it just makes you a good guitarist and if you think sweep picking sounds bad then you need to get your ears fixed.

  • @TheDirtrider20814 it doesn't take more natural talent. it's a skill developed through exercise. i don;t wish there were less metalheads, just these kind of metalheads. and playing fast doesn't make you a good guitarist. just a good guitar player. if you can tell the difference

  • crappy sound. Need proper volume

  • @flamaker2009 dude hes like 8

  • Hes definetly playing I mean listen to the pinch harmonics they're deffinetly legit not to mention he missed a note while he was tapping but still this is amazing 5*s =D

  • i apologise if this is legit........but iv been plaing for 6 years. i can tell you that this looks fake to me, i dont want to look like a hater just putting my opinion forward. theres a few areas in the song where the notes are pitched higher than they should be where he is playing.. also the needless swinging sems like it is only there to hide the fact that its fake. the more he moves around the less you can see the guitar.

  • @XIADRENALINIX If you have played for 6 years it's really sad that you can't see that this is real, im actually better than this kid but i can easiy tell that this is NOT fake.

  • @simonpvo2 as i said i apologise if this is legit.. and the last time i watched it was on a phone of bad quality so the sound must of been out.. im watching it now on my laptop and it seems much much better..

  • @XIADRENALINIX well it still doesnt sound that good but his parents probably forced him to play into greatness they will tell u he loves it and cant put it down i mean look at Jackson five they were incredible but were forced to practice. come on what 6 to 14 year old really has had enough life experiences to play real music sure they can practice forever and still never be as good as some of the best musicians because they really feel the music and thats all that matters

  • This kid's going to have chicks lining up at his door in 3 years or so.

  • One tip, he's going a little too wild than he can handle and play at the same time. Make sure he finds his balance so he has less mistakes. All in all, he's a great guitar player :)

  • awsome!@#$% ....... Not fake!

  • Impressive job!!!!!!!! Keep it up

  • omg fucking nice man

  • @shannonsimoncherry sorry i didn't mean to swear :D but ur amazing

  • I wont troll this video because I dont wanna hurt a 10 year old kids feelings.... but ill say I didnt like it one bit.

  • not so much feelings putt in to that=/

  • He can teach Zakk how to make pinch harmonics, lol

  • @TheKey1987He might even take over Black Label Society haha

  • @BenitutuORstfu actually, he is.... I can vouch for him, I'm his mom & I filmed this video of him playing. He is age 11 now & still playing. check out his website for more.

    Fletcher's mom =)

  • @fletcherbarton Im sorry to many youtubers put up fake videos. Still if hes this good he should definitely continue on with his career as a musician ,but it would be nice if he came up with some originals (if he hasnt already). Keep on rockin

  • @fletcherbarton holy crap! this kid got talent! ROCK ON LITTLE DUDE!

  • @BenitutuORstfu He's not really playing?I'm not actually breathing.Moron.Good little guitarist.Hope he breaks away from not using his pinky.Schenker does that allot.

  • @MrJohnnyDistortion never mind ive seen too many people put up fake videos of the same thing over and over. If u see my other comment i said keep on rocking =)

  • @BenitutuORstfu I don't know this kid, but I've been playing guitar for a 6 years and trust me I can easily tell this kid is playing live on the video. Mainly Pentatonic Minor stuff with pinch harmonics, bends and pretty good hammer on pull offs. This kid kicks ass for 9 years old I'd say.

  • @BenitutuORstfu How can you say he is not playing? Look at the video and listen to what is being played. If you play guitar yourself, you can see he is hiting the notes of what is being played. I wish I played like that and I am many, many, many times older than nine. Keep it up Fletcher.

  • @BenitutuORstfu are you deaf, retarded, or just a troll, he's definitely playing it.

  • @Katalyst863 HOLY CHRIST AND COWS I SAID I WAS MISTAKEN HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO KEEP SAYING THIS! In my defense before I watched this it was a suggestion from many kids "faking" playing the guitar and I only thought this because I didn't pay attention carefully

  • @BenitutuORstfu OH YOU GOT PWNED BY MOM

  • @DaUnforgiven1 Thank you for that informative statement...

  • if this kid keeps goin he could be really good by the time hes 17.

  • this is inhuman.

  • fucking sick kid good job man

  • This kid is amazing!

    However, what really bothers me is the way this video just seems very "look at me, I'm amazing." Maybe that's what this contest was about... Personally I just find it unnecessary to mention his age two times. Let the kid's talent speak for itself and lay off the attention whoring.

    Amazing guitar skill though :)

  • It kills me when I see a kid playing a guitar that is as big as he is and playing it well!. Nice work young man. I'm sure your parents are quite proud.

    Note to mom and dad, keep the girls away from him for awhile. Let him master the instrument. The young man needs to maintain focus..lots of time for girls later.

  • the next Zakk Wylde

  • so good dude!!

  • Fake shit loser 9 year kid

  • i now feel like retard after watching this.... he is soo good!

  • OMFG WTF IS THIS!!!!! :O

    I drooled watching those fingers move so fluent!!!

    Where does a 9 year old get skill like that ? ? ? :O

  • hes gonna be quite the guy in high school haha

  • flawless

  • well. you can tell this is fake, all the other videos have the sound on the guitar. this one is clearly in the backround. so i say cheater.

  • Well THIS called playing without feeling (No, i dont say it because of the fast playing...Many guitarists can play with feeling at 210BPM)...Well,i have to say that he CAN play,but he should learn which notes doesnt fit to the song ;D. (Dont come with "You f00l he is just 9",it just matter how LONG you played...)

  • Whoa, I never knew Justin Bieber played the guitar!? Lol... kidding. Good job kiddo.

  • Vision in music is getting extremely underrated, everybody plays the same... i'm fucking angry

  • @ohmygooooood I agree, but vision has also become very limited because every time I play guitar in front of my friends they ask what song is that and I always make it up on the spot.

  • Wow.. He's fuckign amazing for a 9 year old ! Keep up the good work kid! :D

  • ,69 members are jealous 'cause he wont able to do this guitar solo...Sorry for my english! :)

  • This kid is going to make it, he is awesome! For a 9 year old to be able to play like this after a year and half, he must of giving up alot of 9 year old things, I know when I was 9 I was playing with my Action men LOL. His parents have obviously raised him well! I hope my kids are going to be this aweome and talented! Well done to Fletcher! keep it up!

  • If the kid's that good, get him a better guitar...

  • @TheSupermonkeypants Much agreed! Little dude needs a PRS or a Charvel with the rate of progress he has. I swear, there's millions of youtube vids with people who can't play a single lick, yet have $4,000 Bogner or Soldano setups...they need to give them to this guy, he'll actually USE 'em!

  • This kid is crazy tight My 19 year old bro walked in and asked if he wanted to hear a nine year old play a guitar and hes said not really but i played it anyway and he said hes pretty good then started laughing then when he was walking to his room he said show off xD

  • Wow Three thumbs up thats great considering I only have two thumbs

  • If you dont take this video off I will sue you..............

    for making me feel bad about myself.

  • Definatley gonna be one of the best one day frickin sickly awsome

  • wow, I suck.

  • to be fair, i've learned fuck all in 2 years.

    only just starting to pick up the pace.

    .

  • bloody hell. i've been playing 2 and a half years nearly and i cant do nothing like this.

  • meth is a hell of a drug...

  • Woah, I think that kid is better player than me.. lol.. Good job..

  • HOLY DAMN! I JUST HAD MY FACE MELTED! Rock on kiddo! Gonna be one hell of a guitarist when you grow right up!!!! :D

  • good try kid........

  • nice man you are great btw what amp do you use? cause my amp sounds bad :P i cant get any thing right

  • damn cool!

    wow who can dislike this? lol

    greetings from Romania :*

  • seriously good.not because he's 9 years old or something but his insane playing.keep it up kid. 5*

  • Nice lick right there!Keep it up dude!!!!

  • i have the same exact guitar, how much did you buy yours for?

  • I'm jealous of this kid. I wish I was this good when I was 9... I wish I was this good now! He's got a pretty awesome road ahead of him if he keeps at the guitar. At the very least, it'll score him some chicks in high school! :)

  • so right

  • that guitar is bigger then the kid and i cant beleive he could play this

  • wow!! 

  • That guitar is enough for u

    theres a lot of hardcore guitar players and u dont have a chanse

    maybe 50 years from now

  • Maybe he's gonna a great guitarist in just a few years.

  • great playing! You rock!!

  • wow. very impressive.

  • This kid's gonna be beast in like 12 years.

  • what i can say about is vid is that he has really nice delivery of the pinch harmonics but nothing much more to the other aspects

  • I really dnt like this kid. I mean, tecnique isnt bad, but seriously, he thinks that fast=cool. Who has experience and a nice music culture knows that the speed doesnt matter, if u play also with soul, you just need to touch the right note in the right moment.

  • Nice, I look forward to hearing more from him in the future.

  • @amosschorr93 He is 9 remember?

  • Ripley's Believe it or Not.

  • i can play better rhan he and i play just one year!!!!

  • @ChapterFourBand good for you.

  • Wow im impressed nice skills kid. BTW love the pinch harmonics

  • That was some awesome harmonics there! very talented for a 9 yr old.

    2 thumbs up :)

  • Very well!! You go for very good way and I am sure of the fact that that God you was guiding to being a great Guistarrista DTB!!

  • Little dude! that was kick ass! If you can do that now, you'll be the Jimi Hendrix of the century.

  • dude! your my hero!!!!!

  • thats hella fake dude if the guitar was turned up all the way it wouldn't sound like theres a computer behind the camera, just turn up the computer next time and mabe ill think its real...

  • Wow! That's all I can say...you're making that strat scream!

  • good job little guy, keep that up

  • You rock lil dude. keep up the good work.

  • Jesus Christ. This kid can kick my ass at guitar and I've been playing for 3 years x.x

    I totally feel like a suck lmao

  • Nice!!!!!!!!!

  • hahaha insane man!! keep on playin'. ur lucky to have a strat with ya man. enjoy it.

  • and i cant beleive he knoes harmonics already...very beastly

  • Can i ask a question? Are you rich? You said one of he´s teachers was Neil Zaza? wtf? :S anyway amazing:) And how long has he played guitar?

  • que zarpado!!!!!!

  • GOOD GOD KID!!! the fret board is melting from this kid. I think I should Choose a better Job, b/c in a few years this kid will have it

  • nice my little friend.. keep playing and you will become the best!!

  • He's 9? he's like amazing!

  • This video reminds me of young Grant Austin Taylor : as talented as he was.

  • @MEandPOUSSIN dude, i was just thinking the same thing. when the kid puts his head back near the begging and looks at the camera, it looks like grant haha

  • Amazing! What a little guitar monster! Too many stars to count....... ! :) Mark

  • Fletcher....

    really wicked!

    to think that your video only got 4 stars on average...lots of envy out there methinks.....

    anyway, don't listen to them.... just pick up your axe (guitar) and rip their face off (with your playing of course)!!!

    great job!

  • It doesnt matter how old you are, only how long you have played...

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak...good point, at the time this video was made he had been playing for a year and a half...end of April 2010 will be the 2 year mark.

    Joy (Fletcher's mom) =)

  • @fletcherbarton omg , only a year and a half? Im playing 2 Years and i wish i could play like that.. Your son is very talented! :)

  • @fletcherbarton Hi mom! are you cute? Just asking....

  • @fletcherbarton Hes this good after 1 and a half years?? Jesus christ he mustve been constantly practicing or somethign!

  • @fletcherbarton mrs fletcher's mom i must say that your son has an amazing talent.

    please, don't let him waste it

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak I don't really think it's how many years you've played, as much as it is how many hours you've practiced. I know people that started "playing" guitar years before me and they really don't progress at all since they don't practice enough. Though I see that certainly doesn't apply in this case :D

  • @sunnymcm94 Good point, nothing worse then someone who thinks they are awesome at guitar cause they know some theory but can't play their instrument.

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak It doesn't matter how long you've played, it's how much you've learned during that time span is what counts.

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak Don't be such a prick and give the kid some fucking credit.

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak It's absolutely NOT about how long you've been playing. I've been playing for 2 years and out match plenty of people who have 5-6 years on me. It's only about the skill and the knowledge.

  • @snowbladetaki hey me too! although i hate that cuz im 14 they think im like a dumb kid who cant play shit, until i jam my ass off and prove them wrong :)

  • @snowbladetaki Then you play waaaaay more a day then they do. They probably suck or play a much easier style of music. I play death metal and always have so the styles and pace helps me play faster then some greenday guitar player

  • @SlaughterxthexWeak I know people who play mostly Greendayish stuff that can shread as good as any Death head can, they just prefer the style better. And I actually barely play once a day, but I have a better understanding of music, and expand my horizons better than the others, so I learn more things that help me become better faster.

  • @snowbladetaki And the skill and knowledge you have gained in a certain amount of time are a perfect reflection of how talented you actually are, how much passion (time) you put into it, or the way you practice... It actually IS about how long you've been playing... I am exactly the same, 2 yrs i've been playing but im much better than others who played much longer

  • @snowbladetaki yeah, i hate it when people think like that. im not trying to brag or anything but i beat my fastest friend by 40b.p.m. on double bass and hes been playing for double my time. the only thing is that i practice more at that daily

  • dude i have been playing for 12 years and this kid would kick my ass.

  • @bingslayer85 That's kind of sad

  • @bingslayer85

    I would practice more then.

  • just wait until he's like 20, how sick he will he be then.

  • wow!

  • i want Neil Zaza as a teacher

  • looks like the guitar is going to make him fall over

  • holy shit! better than I was at 9 years old!

  • @Hammersmashed68 better than i am now XDDD , no just kidding, but really really good . he knows how to play his instrument.

  • JAAJ GOOD

  • You're good, but age doesent win a contest :D

  • good point

  • wow that blew my mind lol... you will definitly be on my top 3

  • Holy moley little man, you're a lil natural!

  • wow! you just floored me dude! speechless! you're 9? 5*****!!

  • you just copied the other dudes comments

  • you talkin to me? man, i realize talent when I see it! this guy kicked my ass @ age 9, I wish i was this good then!

    I guess I'm not the only one here who thinks that.......what are you nine too?

  • Sounds like you've been playing for 15years :-) honestly

  • one of the next wave of shredders right here.

  • great talent,in a few years,he'll beat herman by a mile.he might not win,but he'll probably get featured in petruccifever's vid somehow lol.

    check mine if you want.

    keep it up man!

  • Great playing!!! Keep it up.

    5* (not because you have 9 y.o. - but because i think this is a 5* video).

  • that is best compliment he could get...

    THANK YOU, that meant a lot!!!

    Joy

  • @fletcherbarton Your son still playing? 

  • Wow nice playing...

  • Lol, weird posters in the background

  • Muy bueno pequeño guitar hero!

  • Actually this guy needs to win this battle cause he is only 9 years old and plays this good, fantastic job little boy! =)

  • nice one whos signature is that

  • Eddie Money... Fletcher got an amazing opportunity to play w/ 3 friends @ the House of Blues before Eddie performed. (the vids are on his youtube channel under "the It" band). Eddie was really nice to Fletcher & his friends backstage & signed anything they wanted.

    ...the signature is already all smudged up, but good fun & good memories!!! =)

    Joy...his mom (Fletcher's, NOT Eddie's!!!)

  • ya, hes gonna be the next herman li! as for me, i might be the future carlos santana

  • He is already as good as herman.

  • it looks fake for instant, but if this is real, the rest of us are screwed..... 5/5!!!

  • this had to be fake

  • thanks!!!! we'll take that as a compliment... I can vouch for him, I'm his mom! (& check out his channel or website if you still have any doubts!)

    thanks again, Joy =)

  • what just cuz he's 9, you think this fake. wow you got no life

  • Wauw very very nice.. congratulation boy.. u play very well... good luck for us

  • Damn they keep getting younger and younger.lol

    Awesome video!

    I didn't start till I was 16.haha

    Wish I had cool parents to get me into an instrument that early.:/

    -Andrew Soto

  • Fletcher you have our vote!!! 5 stars!!

  • future stars :D
