Nice job! Try to use more of the fretboard when you solo to get more tonal variety.

[Sideways181]

[kroftkarl]

I started giging when i was 12, great age to start playing live

[murphyr4]

Have to say I love seeing kids doing this great at that age. Makes me wish I had taken up the guitar earlier than I did. That little guy is rockin' his heart out. Amazing.

[murphyr4]

As much as I totally agree with what your saying, come on .... Herman Li is an amazing guitarist, he CAN play slow - he just doesn't. Besides someone who gets invited to play with Joe Satriani and John Petruci must be something eh? .... Not that I'm a DragonForce fan lol :P peace out.
