That so puts Eric Clapton to shame.

classes?

Ugh, "glasses" not "classes".

You wouldn't hit a guy with classes?

He looks like his dad is of camera threatening to flog him sorely if he doesn't play well. Watch it again, come on I dear you to not notice. Great lil' player though.

11 yr old Danny "The Rock n Roll Kid" Sveinson doing an impromptu jam.

/flogging the local talent

Awesome. I just hope his parents aren't those awful people who live through their kids.

A guy I jam with in a steel drum band had his 3-year-old give an informal drum recital at a party. I didn't see it, but I heard a lot about it. Apparently, it was AMAZING! The good thing is that he does it because he wants to be like daddy, and not because daddy forced him.

No, I would hit him with a baseball bat.

Sumatra That so puts Eric Clapton to shame.

Not yet. Maybe someday, but not yet.

Who's playing the bass that I hear?

There was no feeling to it.

The original composition video of his is much better, although only 50 seconds long.

That's nothing.

The kid's got mad skillz, but does playing the blues really get you laid? I wasn't aware that teenage chicks of today were so hot over that.

Technically he's good, but it's like watching those little Asian kids play Mozart: All talent, no soul. You got to feel the notes, like an unfaithful woman.

Got to keep an eye on that kid.

From what I've seen over the years, musicians don't really start getting laid until they're out of high school, and old enough to play at the bars. This kid might end up getting more quality pie down the road, but the football team will get an earlier start.

That's what I was about to say.

First you get the talent, then you get the soul....then you get the women.

Put a blind fold on and you'd never know the difference.

A Midnight Bout of Frenzied Concupiscence

Put a blind fold on and you'd never know the difference.

I could tell the difference. I play guitar, plus I live in Chicago. I know good blues when I hear it, and this kid plays well but it's lacking the soul that maturity brings. I'm sure he'll get better as time goes on.

BTW, what the hell does concupiscence mean?

The kid's got talent.

The music did feel a little mechanical though, that shouldn't be a problem after he gets a little older.

Very impressive for his age.

He needs to sell his soul to the devil and take blues lessons like Dethklok did.

/Metalocalypse ftw
//he'll be good!

my 15 month old daughter plays ddr so she can be like her mom and dad. I'll have to put that on youtube - I honestly think that's why she started walking.

does playing the blues really get you laid?

Lets see... does playing the guitar well get you laid? hummmm.

That kid has some mad chops. If he keeps playing and doesn't get burned out, watch out Santana!

CheddarPants: From what I've seen over the years, musicians don't really start getting laid until they're out of high school, and old enough to play at the bars. This kid might end up getting more quality pie down the road, but the football team will get an earlier start.

True dat, except I dispute just how quality that pie is. Unless he climbs above the bar scene (e.g. sells out and plays rock and becomes famous), I think he's got a narrow window from 21-24 where things will be pretty good. If he goes rock he can look like Stephen Tyler at 55 and still be gettin the teenagers. Hmmm... what will he choose?

Teddy,

I'm with you. It looks like he is afraid of getting screamed at or caned if he screws up. Awesome talent, though. I hope his parents don't screw his head up too much. (Praying they haven't already)

Yes but how well is their composition? True legends can write an entire song, start to finish.

Shardovan Who's playing the bass that I hear?

I think it's a computer program called Band-in-a-Box (judging by the intro where you hear a time count-off that sounds like someone banging drumsticks together). It's nice program: it shows up on time, doesn't drink, and keeps perfect time.

The Mad Cockatiel He needs to sell his soul to the devil and take blues lessons like Dethklok did.

I think I just died a little on the inside. That whole episode is based on the life of Robert Johnson, who according to legend sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.

From that video, I've just learnt how to be good at blues music.
1) Learn a scale
2) Alternate the patterns on that scale
3) Repeat it a few times
4) Play the same scale and the same patterns either higher or lower down the fretboard

Doggie McNugget: Technically he's good, but it's like watching those little Asian kids play Mozart: All talent, no soul. You got to feel the notes, like an unfaithful woman.

Yeah, unfaithful women feel great[\i].

Ooo a white kid playing the blues. What does a white kid have to be blue about? Did his mommy buy him a Wii instead of a PS3 for Christmas? Go ahead and sing me a song about how hard it its been out pickin' cotton all day.

Playing the bules guitar never got me laid but it probly didn't help that I looked like this

Hey, your kid's pretty good! How hard did you say you had to hit him?

If he keeps up with the guitar thing, he probably won't get laid before any of the football players, but in the final tally he'll outscore them by a ton.

yeah. YEAH! and while we're at it, can we stop the black folks from being happy? life and a plastic environment is what's needed! and they can't have it! no, jimi, not your happiness.

Kid is pretty frikkin good. Of course the feel will come later.. I just like the dinosaur border above the bed...

First you get the talent, then you get the soul....then you get the women.

I thought it was get the talent, then get the girl, then lose the girl, then get the soul.

this is how all unknown guitar greats happen. my guitar player only rips so hard because his dad was an authentic bluesman. So why is he in my band? he didnt think he was that talented, because his daddy could rip too.

oh c'mon ppl. try harder.

Danny Rock n Roll Kid is not good, and his parents shouldnt be promoting him.. they should be making him practice.

Blues virtuosos.. pffft.

and this kid is pretty darn shreddy too

ecmoRandomNumbers: Awesome. I just hope his parents aren't those awful people who live through their kids.


Yeah, I would never do that. Just last night, my 13-year-old thanked me for not doing this, I think. She said, "I'm really glad you and Dad aren't the kind of parents who are all good at everything."

/That's not what she meant?

Too bad hes wasting all that talent on the most boring of all music. Same thing every time.
