Default "Wanted Dead or Alive" covered by my 12 year old son on Taylor 12 string 555ce

My 12 year old son covers "Wanted Dead of Alive" by Bon Jovi at a local coffee shop on Open Mic Night.
I bought this guitar from fitness1 last month. What a great guitar.

Ratings and comments are appreciated.

He is a natural at it. No sign of stage fright and excellent playing. You should be very proud of your son.
I was wondering who got that great deal on fitness' 555.

@birkenweg42 Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. This is my son's thing. He loves to play and sing, and jumps at any chance to perform. He says he always gets nervous, but it seldom shows.
I told Todd that I have bought a lot of guitars, but that 12 string is probably the single best purchase I've made - just for the joy of watching my son's face light up every time he makes that first strum.

@pdks Thanks for watching, and the kind words.

He sounds great!
His ease and confidence really carries the piece.
Well done for any age and outstanding for 12 years old!
