I know Zakk likes to talk about chicken picking, but listen to this 17-year old kid!

Sol Philcox..>Real cool when you read his My Space bio on the first link...Poor kid, just like a normal person, loL!

I have a soft spot for chicken Pickin', I love shredding like this, hate guys like those DragonForce douches.

this stuff is alot less mindless up and down

[cdwillis]

I found that guy a while back. What a talent. I just can't get my hand into chicken pickin as much as I dig the sound of it.

DragonForce was originally going to do a country album sporting Telecasters. However, they soon realized that they would have to name the band "ChickenForce"...and thought better of it.

Well...hes no better than SRV at age 22...(wait that didnt come out right!!) He is like SRV at age 22! This guy is going to be a monster
Bluesman imo. Listen to "Breakin the Bank". As shred tastic as anything
out there!! He made a deal at the crossroads!

[jgcable]

Well.. thats certainly something I can't do.

Sounds like a cross between John 5 and Buckethead. Very good chickin' pickin'

Not my favorite style of guitar, but impressive none the less. How the hell does a kid so young get so damn good so fast!? I don't know, but it pisses me off.

[skorb]

and he's even playing a Nashville Tele, how perfect.

yeah that's not really my favorite style but he has massive talent.

I dunno..my kid is already kicking my ass..and I taught him.

It's cool though..I'm glad I was able to pass that torch.

[JC_Denton]

Damn this kid is good, i have wanted to learn chicken picking for years.

[jairic]

In reference to DragonForce.. ya who wants to be that good anyway? That lil' kid is amazing.. I'm definately jealous.

[Bengal65]

Yeah, he's got that Setzer thing going. Holding the pick in the index finger while finger picking. I tried that I can't do it.

[NextInLine]

he's definitely playing great but imo it actually sounds like chicken shit
