D.I. Joe Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Interesting... But I prefer to masturbate at home rather than onstage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 The kid sure is talented but I find this whole 'acoustic slap and tap' thing a little played out. It was bombastic when Don Alder was doing it a few years ago though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 That must have taken a lot of practice. It's shame there wasn't more effort put into playing something more musically appealing. I blame the parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I actually enjoyed some if not most of it but I'd prefer to hear it in a band context. Kid had some cool rhythms going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmour Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 You lot are in a curmudgeonly mood. That's an incredible bit of guitar playing for anyone, let alone someone who's only 15. I wish I had those chops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime_BASS Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) [media]http://youtu.be/id8ig5b5eV0[/media] My buddies cover of Thomas Leeb's original composition of No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley. Personally the technique is very good but in this vid it feels a lot more musical without all the showey-ness and ridiculous hand movements, he remains very understated about it all, at 2 minutes he pushes his specs up his nose lol! Although it did take him over 2 years to master it, and he still struggle to transfer the techniques into anything else. Knowing this I think that kid is pretty darn talented. In comparison, the man himself.! Really exciting playing!

ThomBassmonkey Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I enjoyed that. People have got carried away. Because Clutterbuck and the like get slated for not playing music whilst they show off how fast they can throw a stack of pans down some stairs, some people apparently think it applies to anyone playing fast? This kid has melodies and interesting rhythms going on, it's definitely musical (there is a bit of penis waving, but generally it's actual music, not just noise).

chrismuzz Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Guthrie Govan does some great 'slap guitar' stuff! very talented and also very tasteful and musical player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhammer Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 All I'm saying is imagine this kid with a bass, he would tear it up, get rid of that guitar, too many thin arsed strings anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBbass Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 He's skilled, unique and everyone (himself included) seem to enjoy it, as I did. I don't see the problem . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Someone doing something a bit different should totally be applauded for doing so! How else would we all have all these crazy techniques to steal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heminder Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) hmm. i just see some fast percussion and the occasional chord/lick. i'm sure he's a decent player otherwise though, if he can play that. Edited May 6, 2012 by heminder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
