Nah that's pretty amazing, gives me hope to be a good guitar player before i'm 50. Wonder if he got lessons or if he was self taught.

its his dads band, dad prolly taught the kid, relized he was a natural, and then viola !

Pretty tall for 13.

 

[AMDZen]

Wow

 

[BlancoNino]

I'm going to learn to play this song and report back and say if it's that hard.

And I"m sure I"ll be giving up pretty quickly

No, but that is impressive. Lots of standard blues scales and wanking, but it's still pretty good.

After watching this, I don't think the kid is playing that solo part. It looks like the older guy with the Hawaiian shirt is (not the bright green one, but the other one). The kid isn't moving his hands fast enough to be playing those strings. Look at 4:54 in the video, you can catch a quick glimpse of the older guy moving the pick fast, at the same pace as the notes you hear.

I think the kid is playing back up guitar while the older guy is doing the solo.

Terrible camera work. This kid has amazing natural technical talent to be able to play that song after only 2 years (regardless of how much he practiced).

Unfortunately being technically gifted at the guitar means little. You have to be able to create. Some of the best guitarists IMHO don't have the greatest technical ability (i.e. David Gilmour).

The song has like 15 solos that's why it is long. That's how it was played by Lynard Skynard. Kid has mad skills.

The kid isn't playing those solos. He's playing the lower pitched guitar in the background, not the higher pitched solo. Still great for a kid.

Damn, all that time spent he could have actually learned how to play it on a real guitar

Looking at the neck head shape, it looks like it's an Epiphone SG. Any guitar is playable though

I agree completely, I noticed the same thing.

 

[Tiamat]

for 2 years its pretty good, but that was pretty boring though due to repetition.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

WTF is Free Bird?

Nice playin though.

uhh, no. It's hard to see because it's so dark but there are a few shots where you can clearly tell he is the one playing lead. Freebird is all hammer-ons and pull-offs so his left hand isn't all over the fretboard.

I have to go with 91TTZ here, doesn't look like the kid is moving his hands fast enough to me either.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

even im impressed an i dont even usually like this type of music....though i do like lynyrd when ever they get played...which isnt often

 

[otispunkmeyer]

and he seriously dicks on all those chumps who turn up on shows like x-factor and pop idol..... without even singing a word.

 

[Vidda]

Hell, I can't even do that on Guitar Hero.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

wow http://youtube.com/watch?v=tsWz-Q7JYQA&mode=related&search=

music like that has surely got to be absolutely timeless....because todays bunch of "artists" and "musicians" are so pale in comparison theyre pretty much see-thru, i dont think there is a single rock band in the charts today who could possibly come anywhere near to that as long as they live.

UNBELIEVABLE............................................................ WOWOOWOW

SUPER COOL

I AM GONNA HOOK THIS UP 2 MY SURROUND SOUND!! BYE

[SVT Cobra]

He has good taste in guitar's too. I cannot see it that well but it looks like a Gibson SG Angus Young edition.

Meh, I'll probably get flamed for this, but hearing the same minor 3rd done a few times in a row, followed by arpeggiating one chord over and over (and over) for 8 bars at a time...it's alright, but it gets tiresome after a minute or so. It's head-banging goodness (and I'm not one to piss on anyone's good time, I do like this song actually), but I wouldn't really classify it as virtuostic guitar playing. For two years of playing it's kinda neat, I guess.

My 2 cents, you don't have to agree with me.
