6. Reminds me of a young Terry Haggerty.
If he ever develops any timing, he could really do something.

But right now, he is pretty much just playing flashy scales.

12. it would be a relief compared to the SHITE that is being sold as music now
Prepackaged, mindless drivel fills the airwaves now. MTV is utter crap.

11. WOW he is a good player, good for him!
I doubt he will have any problem getting hired as a player when he's older.

13. Now there's a kid who isn't just screwing around with Guitar Hero!
He's got skills, no doubt about that. I hope he branches out into other types of music and has a long and lucrative career ahead of him!
