  • Lil dude ripping! Love it.

  • When Derek And Warren are on the stage together at an ABB show It is absolutely the most awesome display of guitar virtuosity you will ever see. It is not "just the blues", these guys rock!

    The little prodigy grew up into a real quality performer that can play it all.

  • This kid was born with a gift only his creator could give him.... it's these kind of musicians that keep music alive and cause joy inside a man unlike nothing else

  • It's unbelievable and this little boy seems to me the real incarnation of Duane Allman - never heard this tracks played so well - fantastic

  • @joe1969812 YOu obviously haven't been around much. Ricky Scaggs started playing professionally at about age 13 and Marty Stuart at age 12. Both with very well known bluegrass acts, Ricky with Ralph Stanley and Marty with Lester Flatt. Keith Whitley joined Ralph Stanley's band just before Scaggs did at about age 14 or 15. Both had been playing mandolin and guitar since grade school. Ricky even played on stage with Bill Monroe at age 6. Other than that, you make some good points.

  • Why would anyone "hate" a child that obviously took the time and dedication to play any instrument and play it well?What do most kids do today? What? Get really good at some video game?Know how to text faster than the next guy? For the ones that hate these kids....pick your instrument and put it on here...let`s see what you`re about. I bet you`re past 30 and pissed you didn`t make and so you have to spill hate.Also without blues most of what you know in rock wouldn`t be here.

  • Ironic detail, but is Derek wearing a T-shirt with Duane Allman on it? :p

  • I saw Derek play in 2000 and I thought he was a prodigy then but this was 9 years earlier. He was already great at 11 years old. the Beethoven on the Blues

  • @joe1969812 - I was getting ready to trash you until I finished your entire comment. Derek was amazing as a kid, but he is a fucking god now.
