Members Glenn F Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/user/jwcfree This kid has got it going on. I'd put his abilities largely, but not solely, in the 'nature' category of the 'nature vs nurture' debate. He's been playing for 3 years, and he can do stuff I doubt I'll ever be able to do. Lovely Lakewood guitar, too! Enjoy! Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarcapo Posted December 1, 2009 Members Share Posted December 1, 2009 I've been arpeggioed to death. All that kid needs is a violin player to lay down a melody and he'll have some music there. But I don't wanna piss on this thread. His version of Superstition is great.

Members Pitar Posted December 3, 2009 Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 Alaska Picks. I like his style. I'll listen more but this particular vid has a little too much fill and begs more melody. I'm going to have to agree with GC's remark about another instrument to make this piece work because it's perfect to float something over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JillHandley Posted December 3, 2009 Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 Although he is young and extremely talented... the majority of his work is not his own. You should check out Adam Rafferty on youtube. Fingerstylist and absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingerstylist and absolutely amazing. yeah, that's always been my beef with Andres Segovia, Liona Boyd, John Williams & Christopher Parking; covering tunes older than the mold in my refrigerator. So I looked up this guy, Adam Rafferty and I found a bunch of Michael Jackson, Jackson Five, and Stevie Wonder covers. I sorta liked this one.

Members C70man Posted December 3, 2009 Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 The kids good. But.....Guys who play proficiently with a thumb pic piss me off. Especially people so young. I know all the great players use them...I just can't keep the little buggers on my thumb...I guess my thumb is just too short and fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members C70man Posted December 3, 2009 Members Share Posted December 3, 2009 The guy is great. Love that bass line. Tampa's local guy who can do that stuff is Shaun Hopper...I have posted his stuff before...He's studied with TE, and if that's not good enough, TE co-wrote his CD with him, and signed his guitar...A Maton of course. A fun guy to watch. I filmed this live at Skippers Smokehouse a month or so ago. Gets kinda funky @ 3:00 and again @ 4:50 [YOUTUBE]tCQqqvOSqiY[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
