Imagine that kid 5 years from now! 10 years from now!

I've been trying to play that solo since 82' and I still can't play it!

 

[Cas]

Wow awesome! And even cooler about Ozzy.

 

[Jason]

Eh... so he can robot someone else's music. I would be very surprised if any of these kids ever contribute anything innovative to music.

We'll never really know since he lives in Japan, but if he doesn't get distracted and he gets the proper education on it... he could be an incredible guitarist. hell he already is ..

Really?! It was the first solo I learned, but I haven't played it in a couple years.

I have to say that I don't agree with this statement at all. To be as good as he is now at nine, he obviously started very young, a young mind is so open to innovation and creativity, at least when it's given an opportunity. Anyone with kids will agree that the way they see things around them can be so different and unique to an adult. I can't remember the name of the black guy who was a drumming virtuoso, he's still playing, but I remember watching him at about the same age, he was spectacular, but because he was so small he would hit up at the symbols, enabling him to do some really cool innovative things. Time will tell, but I like his chances.

If he grows into feel over flash,he will be a great player....otherwise,just another Yngwie.I was impressed by his grasp of the instrument at such a young age.

 

[Mercutio]

i HATE that he sings too. the voice just throws everything off.

It might boil down to us having different tastes in music. There is no doubt that the kid has skills, but skills are cheap. All it takes to build up skills is massive repetition of the same lines over and over again. I picture that as evolving into a style of playing that involves throwing notes out like mad and trying to be impressive. It's just a very "in the box" approach to music.

The way "shred" music is composed almost always feels like "speed reading" to me, like how some people read things a paragraph at a time instead of absorbing each word one at a time. It's like "Okay, I'll drop in this piece of this scale here, then this piece here..." It's like dropping in big chunks of melody and connecting them, rather than actually feeling or even understanding each note.

 

[SpinWheelz]

Uhh, I thought we weren't playing this in the Backstage anymore.

 

[lazz]

i thinks he's one of those honda robots

 

[Makeitstop]

Pretty cool for Oz to come out and say hello to him. The kid looked like he'd just seen Santa Claus.
