Good stuff. Reminds me of that kid in some of the Lowe Vintage demo videos. Also my nephew, who's been playing since he was 4, and better than me since he was about 7. I'm a mix of proud, delighted, and wanting to break his agile little fingers.

A few years later he was playing Pat Metheny solos at open mics and gigging with his classical guitar at art shows, etc. All state high school band several times and now playing in college. I take all the credit, other than the fact that there is no TV in his house, he likes to spend time alone, a lot of parental encouragement and some amazing teachers. He earned it, there are no short cuts, even for so called child prodigies.

I really enjoy the kid's playing, but I found the constant thumping he was giving it to be distracting and unnecessary...

I think what's impressive about his playing is that he's not just mechanically plowing through someone else's composition, but there's real expression and feeling in his playing.
And tone! I'm not sure what model of Martin that is he's playing, but to me it sounds better than TE's Matons. |

Thanks for posting this! Incredible talent - check out his "treatment" of A-ha's "Take On Me". Absolutely brilliant!!
