Very talented, but there are many other artists who also play with this style. i.e. Eric Mongrain

Juju Bee

Yo, I think the music in the movie "August Rush" is exactly like this!

this is made of awesome sauce
nope

good for him. but to clarify, this method of playing guitar is not as difficult as playing normally. the guitar is tuned so that all you need to do is lay your finger across the fret board to produce a chord. the only thing he's doing is making it look cool by hitting some harmonics. i'm not hating, its great to see a young kid be able to play this well, but there are many more prodigies out there that would blow this kid away.

exactly. try listening to that style of guitar playing without watching it… still impressed?

You are absolutely correct. I was going to point out the same thing.

And your talent in high school was … let me guess … armpit farts?

Justin king and khaki king to name two of them. Open "C" tuning does wonders. I totally agree

LeO

My favorite would be Led Zeppelin's Bron-Yr-Aur. Open "C" tuning as a masterpiece.. Just my opinion

This guy is nothing like Jeff Healey, other than having the guitar sitting in his lap. Jeff Healey was great. This kid is just playing an open chord and hitting a few harmonics. Really not a big deal. Jeff Healey played the hell out of the guitar.

Like a young Stanley Jordan!………… bravo!!!

I'm-with-Nope

NOT at all like Stanley Jordan. This is barely the tip of the Stanley Jordan iceberg.

David P

Meh.
I side with nope.
Open chords……hmmmm. Grab a pick and get to playing

I'm-with-Nope

Amen, David P. I totally agree. Playing a slight variation on an open chord and slapping a few harmonics aren't really that impressive.

I also get annoyed with how crowds go crazy over guitar stuff that really isn't that great. Crowds can be so ignorant.

If you like a different style of playing you should check our rodrigo y gabriela…she's destroys the guitar.

GO PATS

GO PATS!!!
breathe deeply

Seriously, why do people scream at this kind of thing? Scream while listening to music you supposedly like? GREAT JOB ASSHOLE.
RMutt

Sounds decent but as other people have said he is basically playing an open tuning and his sense of timing isn't that great…
Matt

Wow awesome talent, all i could think about was that movie august rush. great movie even though robin williams played a freaky character
cas

push the boundaries. people like this are the reason music/art expand.
