Ok, stumbled on this by accident, but if you can get past this kids somewhat goofy video presence, he can actually play pretty damn good. At the very end he takes a crack at DT's Metropolis solo and dare I say can play it better than many I know (self-included).

sorry...couldn't get past the guy trying to be funny and entertaining I made it 34 seconds .

Coupe of little tip for the bazillion of YT guitar videos. If you want your audience to watch your videos follow these two rules,

1 - shut the fuck up...this is the most important part
2 - play the shit and remember rule #1

I agree, that's why I mentioned checking it out at the very end. The dude stupid shit aside can actually play, and blew thru the solo in Metropolis note for note very clean. If he can shit can the dumb antics, he has quite a talent on the frets. Looks to be all of 16 years old.
For those interested, it's at 10:25.
 
He has one of the absolute most punchable faces in the world. I like some of his videos but there's no need for so many of his dumb expressions and what not. He can be funny at times but I stopped watching his shit out of general annoyance.
 
Dude is probably awesome (didn't watch his other "hard solo" videos) but after the way he hacked the first solo (Ain't Talkin 'bout Love) I was pretty done...

I think the Stairway to Heaven solo is a great example of how a solo can be easy mechanically but if you don't have the timing, groove and pocket, you've got none of it.

Again, he may smoke, but the VH hack was enough for me to move on.
