My son and his guitar

Hehe, no.

Very accomplished indeed!

Thanks for sharing, op.

Very cool, hes doing great. Keep it up.

Congratulations--you created another loser rocker with a path to nowhere's-ville.

We need more people like this, like we need more toe-nail fungus.

Your son sounds really good but as someone that's played for almost 40 years, I have to say that I'm very skeptical about the "got a gitar 2 years ago" comment. I'd be very interested to know how your son went from not playing to playing like this in two years. Eric Johnson's string skipping technique is extremely advanced and typically takes years and years of practice to learn how to pull off correctly.

love that song :D

loved playing it on guitar hero haha

2 years huh. thats awesome

cool kid you produced there

Oh man, he is awesome!....


I'm not sure if anyone has asked yet, but has he written any of his own stuff?

Ohhhhh! I like Eric Johnson! Can he do 'Trademark' also?

AWESOME !!!! I love Eric Johnson !! Way to go !!

Maybe he was using another guitar and 2 years ago finally got his first one or the one he really wanted. Either way at this point it really doesn't matter as he seems to play really well and does a very good job.

Id rather have a son who knows how to play an instrument rather than a gamer who eat hot pockets and plays video games all day long in the basement

Very nice. That is not an easy song to play!

Awesome!!! Very talented!!

He got a gitar from me when he was 15. Now he is 17 ( few days ago)
He has learned from Robert Baker on youtube. Thats all i know 😊

I don't care what anyone says, that is very impressive for two years in! Don't let the ones who are jealous because they cant do it tell you different.

Look at your face!....


Hi lovey....

Why hello!!

Awesome!

he's awesome op ignore the foreign Iranian faqs

Another perspective... Is it impossible to aquire that skill in 2 years?

It's possible. I learned a lot in my first few years. Maybe his real talent is dedication, persistence and is able to learn quickly. A young man, no kids, more free time. Maybe he had a prior talent that allowed him to skip ahead. Maybe playing a keyboard or was the kid in school always desk drumming.

Impressive, nice song choice. Love when a gift becomes a passion.

I'm a musician, he's getting on the right track learning from Eric.

Good job letting him explore his talent...

He probably doesn’t know string skipping is a thing. I didn’t know it was a thing until you brought it up. I just play the notes. Actually, I think it takes years and years for people who learn guitar from teachers, learning traditional scales and cords. Self taught people don’t worry about that they just play the notes and riffs.

Good stuff. I have 2-sons that play different instruments, but the guitars are their favorite go-to. Just turned over 2-primo classical guitars to them at Christmas. It's their turn to take up the slack where I left off.

The internet generation man. There's tons of kids these days that went from Guitar Hero to Rocksmith to playing some serious licks. I bought my son Rocksmith and a decent guitar on his 16th and 2 years later he was shredding with the best of them.

That was friggin great. I love that song and your son did it some awesome justice!

What are those black knobs for at the top of neck ? Tension?

Never played a guitar before the one i got him.
Did practice until he bleed.
Guns and roses as his first songs.

I'm not a big guitar fan or anything like that. But, I could listen to your kid play all day. That was incredible to my ears. My son is 4, I hope he is ends up as accomplished. Could care less if my kid plays guitar, but if he can succeed at anything the way your kid has at the guitar I would be thrilled. That was literally heavenly to me. Wonderful. 5 stars!
