Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

Speed is just one aspect of ones playing. If you have it and use it wisely it can be really cool. If its the only color you paint with then your picture is gonna suck [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Same goes with slow-hand playing. The more you have available to use the better you can express yourself.

I never 100% believed in starting in the blues. Where you end up has a lot to do with where you start. Can this kid play with feeling, I bet he can. Can a player stuck the pentatonic box or a bonafied Chuck Berry lick type of player play a fast melodic run like that? Maybe.

I really tire of all the shredder vs. feel debates. I come from both schools but if there is no melody it doesn't matter. I like speed as much as the other guy but dudes like Rusty Cooley are great players from a technical standpoint but to me sound very cold.

This kid is only 11 for heavens sake. I think he was playing something already written, either Paul Gilbert or parts of some violin piece, very classically influenced stuff. The kid deserves an atta boy instead of the shredder ridicule imho.

I don't care what other people think, I was very impressed by the kid's ability.

The only thing I know is that I can't use the "my fingers are too short excuse" anymore. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Damn kids.

I'm 30 somthing and I'll admit it, I am jealous! This kid friggin rocks! I didn't even pick up a guitar until I was 16, this little SOB has the potential to be a completely well-rounded player by the time he is old enough to drive.

No, he doesn't have much sense of melody or feel (in this piece anyway), but his chops are amazingly fast and smooth. And it is very clean for such fast playing, I'm impressed.

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

please guys don't say he has no feel/emotion etc. because you don't know what he is feeling, ok [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

And I agree with all who said that blues is a good for starters, because it IS.

It took me a while to get my speed up to where it is....

I play fast , I play hard , I play brutal shit with NO feeling...unless that feeling is like an ass rape.. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

Cool indeed, I played Smells Like Teen Spirit when I was 11, so It sure impresses me, because this kid fkn crushes that idiot with the DK2 that has his band bowing to him!

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

Great to see a young player. Very repetitive, and lacks vibrato. Can shred the guitar up pretty good, and with years, comes more experience.

I can play that stuff now, but when I was 11, shit I didn't have a guitar!

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

I saw this on HC and man can that kid shred. How anyone can say anything bad about him I don't understand, he's 11...

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

That kid would slay me, and I am 35. I have been playing since I was 18. I tried when I was 8, and couldn't. I learned a bit when I was 13, and quit. I really hit it hard at 18-22...then noodled around for the rest of the time. Now, I am trying to branch out and get myself out of the rut that I have been in forever. I say that kid has the skill, now he just has to work on the soul. I will NEVER be able to play like that. Even if I had nothing to do but practice with a master instructor for 10 hours a day. I don't have the skill, the patience or the desire.

Kudos to him.

Re: 11-Year Old Shredder (video)

the kid is great... good for him. i take that as a good sign any young mind not wasting it on scratching records on a turntable, maybe the return of wanting to be a musician. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I really like the look on his face when he ended and people clapped, that was a priceless smile. He rocks! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Conversely.... that bass player looked like a total deer in the headlights the whole time!

That is a funny...I rather liked when he looks to wipe the snot off his nose with the back of his hand at the very end. A typical kid thing but he does this after he wipes floor surpassing most players abilities. I personally was very impressed-even if the vibrato wasn't totally there, he definitely surpassed technically in the shred arena.
