  • I think Joe Satriani would be impressed! I am guessing that Jake could not have been much older than 15. I am likely to be wrong, so please forgive that. But the kid does indeed have skills.

    Surely after so impressive a feat Galactus would grant thy freedom!!!

  • @scoob2007 No, just 12 at the time. 3 years on he still busks occasionally, including pieces by Satriani.

  • i thinhk the wah pedal is un necessary.... hes good agreed but i think he's trying things beyond his skill level eg tapping.. and overbends and pinch harmonics dont fit where he uses them....quick question lol...where are the drums and bass coming from haha? all i see is an amp,pedal and a guitar case?

  • Great Performance. He'll be great for a band.

  • Joe Sat is my dads cousin

  • @billy1297 but they're both undeniably fun :)

  • @DestinyWishes Settle... it was a joke.

  • @buckonz rude! he actually attends onslow college in year 12 this year.

  • @billy1297 ahha indeed

  • @jubileeks Unbelieveable!! I hope somebody has introduced the lad to Zappa. I would love to hear what he could do with Black Napkins.

    I am glad to hear that he is still busking. It means that he is showcasing his own talent, rather than having that talent diluted in a band. I am not saying that being in a band is a bad thing, but egos do come in to play and can interfere with the creative process.

    God speed Jake!

    I would pay to see you play.
