Nobody has any clue what this kid is feeling (except the kid), nor do we know if his parents are force-feeding him guitar. Making these assumptions from a video seems completely absurd to me. Would it be better if he was making rat and monster faces? Then would he seem more into it? The kid has some major talent, if guitar is his true passion, he will most likely become an incredible musician.

i'm not passing judgement on any of this, but, having been to national guitar workshop several times, there's scores of these kids all doing the same thing. it's rather interesting sitting a class room of young teens all trying to be the next page/hendrix/whoever. i'm sure playing the guitar is the ONLY thing some of them do.

there was one kid (13 or 14 yrs old) a few years ago who was obviously being pushed by a parent to be the next stevie raye vaughan. he could play the stuff note for note but you sense there was no soul in it. i wanted to bring him home with me and take him surfing and to see him smile. it was rather sad through my eyes.

i'll stop blabbing now and return to work. bye

Gillian Welch met David Rawlings at Berklee in a country music class.

David Rawlings is one of the most amazing guitar players I have ever seen live.

I agree with you! That's what sets the million notes a second SRV ripoffs at every blues jam from Lightnin' Hopkins hitting one note on a out of tune Gibson acoustic with a pickup. It doesn't matter how you learn it, but more so where it coming from.

Everyone who owns a '60s dearmond soundhole pickup raise their hands Monkey Love me some lightnin'!

You mean Mike "woolcap" Nesmith? As the man himself once said "Play Magic Fingers, Play!"
