well.....
the G# instead of a G thing mentioned above...
I did exactly that - hit a G# instead of a G in the key of Em due to a little drying sweat making the neck sticky - at an open air festival in Germany back in July..
dropping a nice little bomb like that during a solo in a ballad in front of 25k people was.. erm.. comedy enough for me..
new years resolution on the way...
try not to be quite that funny in 2018... lol
alternatively....
dad behind the camera, don't know a Gibson from a Fender..
not a muso at all.. but is a pretty successful fella and is pretty well off..
wants his kid to do his best / have the best stuff to do it with and is more than willing to lend a hand in any way he can..
and dad seeing his kid do all this amazing music stuff makes him feel immensely proud..
not much different to the dad that's never seriously played footie running up and down the touch line all excited, shouting encouragement every time his kid gets the ball..
Exactly this. Its the first thing I noticed and an exceptional quality that will stand him in good stead. The kid is clearly enjoying himself, the cheeky smile at the camera when he hits a bum note suggests he doesn't really care. It doesn't scream of anyone under intense pressure to me, surely his 'pushy parents' wouldn't upload it if it wasn't perfect?
For all we know the kids dad is a millionaire banker who buys his kids affection as he's never there and the mother seeks comfort in the gardener, butler, milkman, teacher, anyone going and the little kid hasn't been shielded from this and has intense pain inside that he channels through his guitar playing. Sounds like blues to me whatever the age.
Who cares though, it sounds good.
It reminds me of when I saw Alter Bridge in Edinburgh. During the soundcheck I video'd the song 'Show me a leader' and thought Tremonti nailed it. Watching the video I realised he made a good few mistakes in the solo, played the wrong chord in a verse... I never noticed at the time because his stage presence has you mesmerised. And why? Because he is always smiling, always looking like he is loving every second and it make you love every second and ignore tiny errors. You've got to enjoy it, and this kid clearly does
How dare you be so fucking judgemental.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I've seen the kid on YouTube and I like him .. kids are always obsessed with something be it music, football or whatever. I don't get the hate or Dickensian views ... lighten up.

Truth be told, I think he's pretty chuffing great.
But you all love Clapton don't you? A comfortably well-off white man from Surrey. Last time I checked, never enslaved by anyone.

jeez...
no matter what the style of music... it's just notes...
you really don't have to have had a dreadful life to be able to play with tremendous feel and passion..
you simply have to have the ability to feel the music, play from the heart and be able to project it..
It also doesn't have to hardship and heart wrenching. Some people can channel pure joy into their music.
That man went through something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy... Which this song is about

Although I think it's a cheap shot to bring that up to try and make me look insensitive, when all of that happened decades after he had already built a career on ripping off black blues players, and also a long time after he expressed a desire for black people to be sent back to "where they came from". His late son was ten years from even being born when he said that. So as sad as it is, don't try to tell me it has any relevance to what I'm saying.
But I do think you have to consider that kids today have easy access to a massive amount of high quality tuition. They will still need dedication and talent, not trying to take away from that. But imagine how far they can go with dedication, talent... and that massive resource?
Wanna learn something new, anything, go to YouTube and watch a few vids and you will be on your way. Most kids will have better google skills than you too
