upvote, although I wonder whether the kid the recording already had a guitar, or if the kid had a drum-only version? I'll give him benefit of doubt...

Pretty violent argument on the google video page on that subject. Not deep, just violent.

Now this kid should be on "America's got Talent"! (replacing haseldorf and philbert!)

If you know anything about the origian Jerry C version (*cough* http://www.videosift.com/story.php?id=77 *cough*) you also may know that their is both a tabature and background recording on his website ( www.jerryc.tw ). So, no he's not faking it. But also no, he's not amazing (unless you can count following the directions made by someone else amazing). Downsifting: Copycat.

i like this one better two... seems 'cleaner'.. sure JerryC may have come up with the arrangement and all but this kid is really really good nontheless.

edit: in fact http://www.jerryc.co.uk/ has a whole collection of covers of this piece.

This is not the best rendition of this song I've heard and it's not all that difficult to play either (apart from the sweep picking bits - a technique I find difficult)
Maybe I'll post some Yngwie Malmsteen for some truly amazing classical/rock guitar

I find it amusing this made it to the top 15 despite the minor controversy.

Checked out the =77 vid per darkrowan. Gotta say that this kid isn't as sloppy. After listening to both several times I give this version the title.

So....Tu teneo nihilum.

zOmgz finger h4x!

Honestly this is impressive as a feat of sitting down and learning the chords and timing. I played guitar for 2 years and can say, anything is possible, if you are willing to sit and learn.

Talent though... talent makes that 12 month prep come through in a week

"But also no, he's not amazing (unless you can count following the directions made by someone else amazing). Downsifting: Copycat."

Well...that was pretty cold.

That kind of logic would make actors copy cats because they're performing Shakespeare, or pianists copy cats because they're playing Chopin.
