Man this kid is incredible. It's not just that he has amazing technique but a good feel and great fretboard fluency. Check out his pinky slide arpeggios at the end of the solo. The kid has a solid vibrato and bends in-tune. He seems to have developed incredible playing maturity as such a young age. Wow!

 
It's great to see kids still getting into guitar. It's also cool to see them so good at such a young age. Can you imagine what the experience of learning guitar now must be like compared to when most of us were kids, considering how accessible all the pros and their techniques have become in the age of the internet? The de-mystification of guitar is awesome.

Everybody always cries doom and gloom over the future of the instrument but stuff like this shows guitar can still be inspiring to people. It gives me hope that it probably isn't going anywhere for a long time.
 
For a change, not just a kid who can play fast with zero vibrato, he naturally puts it all together. Just further proof that talent in any given field be it music, sports, languages etc.. a lot of it is just god given talent. These people develop that talent, but it is there and it is in them from the beginning. They are able to put it all together and get that much better. Think of any people who excel in any fields and generally speaking, you can look back to their youth and see that they were already killing it.

My almost 5 year old bangs away at open strings and tells me how great she is playing... that's the other side of talent lol.

Definitely. As long as he doesn't turn into another dorky poliphya style player with a dumbass neck tattoo then I'd say he will be just fine.
 
Been following Abim for years MG.

Yup, it's his musicality and feel that set him apart from the rest of the small-finger-athlete gang IMHO.

Couldn't be that many years, the kid looks like he is seven. :)

What can I say bro'; he started young. :LOL:

Mind you, I've followed Li-sa-X since she was, like, 5.

This one always impressed me 'cause I've seen Guthrie give a big sigh of relief as he finished playing it live. Here's Li-sa doing it aged 9. She misses lots of notes and doesn't have the strength to bend properly yet, but still...

Would bet my next paycheck that Tim Henson is this kids favorite guitar player
 
have never ever watched a video that made me want to quit playing guitar ... because I don't look at is a competition. I play guitar for fun and sanity and could not give 2 shits if people are "better" than me ... grow the fuck up

I didn't like that remark. Why, you think bass is easy? Just ride the root note, right?

No respect.

Sixx style .... the rest is just optics. But jokes aside, I love bass. Picked one up this year and when I play it, I try to be steve harris and jam his bass lines. Man that guy is something else. Just amazing from a composition point of view.
 
Not a big Henson fan, but I like this kid - way more musical.
 
It's all been done and sounds the same until the next EVH or Kurt Cobain comes along and changes things... I'm not sure it will ever happen for a long time at this point.

I’ve actually been a bassist for 16 years and a guitarist for 4. It’s not easy, just satire.
