I started playing the guitar at age 12, today i am 54... yes that's 42 years on guitar. I am amazed at the people that get on here and say such stupid things like.... "He isn't that good" or "He isn't a Virtuoso because he didn't take his eyes off the strings or frets" Stupid Stupid people. At least he has a video on here and most of you don't. He does a wonderful job, splended. Keep it up ytoung man.

Yet another example of the misuse of the term 'Virtuoso'

Good job kid keep it up!

[lfmusik]

ok.... yes, i agree with you!!... sorry for my words.... jejeje

[angels77100]

@lfmusik Yes I completely agree with you. Even the legendary (possibly first guitar virtuoso) Angus Young had to start somewhere. This kid's got a long road ahead of him before he breaks through to the big stage, but with a lots of practise, (hell even Angus had to practise) a good mullet haircut, dark shades instead of those nerdy glasses, and a few bottles of Jack Daniels. I'm confident that he'll make it.

[angels77100]

@MusicFanatic1990 I agree. Or Angus Young from AC/DC.

[angels77100]

@kydaystar If you've been playing guitar for 42 years then that means you're even better than AC/DC. So how come I haven't heard of you?

[angels77100]

@jbrown198323 Well he sorta has the hair. If he grew it a little longer and took of those dorky glasses then he'd possibly be a virtuoso. At the moment, he just looks like a complete nerd (but a nerd who's pretty good on a guitar). Little tip for the guy there. Grow your hair longer and lose those glasses then even if you can't play, at least you'll look like a virtuoso.

@angels77100 jajajajajaaja.... of course he can't... 'cuz he only play ACADEMIC MUSIC, music from the heart anfd Soul, not music from the Alcohol or drougs, or gays!!!! jajajajaja..... HE PLAYS THE BEST MUSIC, music that can't UNDERSTAND!!!

[jbrown198323]

Lets see a virtuoso is someone that possesses outstanding ability at either singing or playing an instrument hmm....I don't see any mistakes and it's played very clean and fluidly, And is also very technical. I'd be willing to bet that most people that comment on this harshly saying he isn't virtuoso couldn't play this at all.

People just think they know what a Virtuoso is.

@Hairymonkey123

I agree; he's very stiff and at times this is very harsh.

Almost every single time I see someone use that term is means they are far from being a virtuoso; people should avoid that term like the plague.

Obviously he's a very skilled player but the standards are so high now and a virtuoso is someone who really is a mature master like Julian Bream.

[MusicFanatic1990]

@kydaystar, virtuoso is in my opinion fitted better to intense flamenco playing. This isn't one of them. Yes he is good, but no he isn't virtuoso. Look at Jason Mcguire and see what I'm talking about.
