Pesh Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 As talented as these kids are; it is incredibly frustrating to see videos like this. Especially when you've been playing longer than he's been walking and talking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Light&Shade Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Where's the 'green face emoticon' when you need it. For a 9 year old, he's a mighty fine guitarist. What a gift to have :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. C.O. Jones Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 And playing for Carlos on this one! Awesome. I only hope that he has people around him who love him more than the money they can make with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvercrow Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 And playing for Carlos on this one! Awesome. I only hope that he has people around him who love him more than the money they can make with him. AMEN! Along with that gift often comes a price. Reference all the "child prodigy's" whose lives have been devestated by their gifts and others taking advantage of them. Or ingnoring their upbringing. Or enabling them. Having said all that- I still recognize and appreciated giftedness when I see it. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think he's about 15 now; the blues he plays in the OP is a Joe Pass one, off one of his 'Live At Montreux' albums. Probably quite a lot of parental influence causing him to be playing jazz (there's also a vid of him playing "Stella By Starlight"!). But there's no money in jazz unless you are at the very top of the tree, and even then you need a crossover 'hit' - ideally. It will be very interesting to see what he does with his talent. Bireli Lagrene and Jimmy Rosenberg come to mind. Do any UK members remember the name Thomas McRocklin? The mini-Vai from the 80s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 What gets me is his face while he is playing. He obviously enjoys it, and even has a bit of showmanship coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Very talented and exquisite four finger control. I like to see that although compared to this little guy I'm useless. jdgm is right re the jazz influence. No dosh in it but, by Jesu, it gets you to play some good stuff. I don't know if this kid can read (I expect he can) but a professional life beckons even if it were so "lowly" as cruise liner pro band playing.

I hope not. Let's face it, we all like to play, but being a "professional" musician sucks. I wouldn't wish that on a kid. If he is THAT talented, he might be good at a lot of things. Who knows what he will grow up to and want to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skilsaw Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The "Sponge Bob" sticker on his guitar is a nice tribute to his age. I hope it was his idea, not that of some marketing guru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaygl Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 That reverse V is bigger than him!!! He's gonna get stuck in the eye with it if he ain't careful. He'll probablly be all the more wicked on the guit when hes 12. Lol. Cool playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 This is from wiki: Lucciano Pizzichini is a child prodigy guitarist and the youngest artist sponsored by Gibson Guitars. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 14, 2000. He started to play the guitar at two years old, starting with a one string guitar customized by his father. By the age of three he was beginning to learn simple pieces of music and how to read music.[citation needed] By the age of six, Pizzichini had begun to perform in front of audiences. By the age of 7 he could reel off complex Joe Pass and Pat Martino jazz licks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Dang it all!! I guess that blows my thinking that I can't ever play that good due to having shorter fingers!!!! At 9 he's got 1/2 the finger length I have and still can play great. Now I'll have to come up with a whole new reason to justify why I suck at playing. That guitar looks HUGE. That's really a standard size guitar? Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yzj-xTcwCo I've posted this kid before. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that he's got the potential of being the best there's ever been. The only negative is that he doesn't speak English, which I think does limit him.

LarryUK Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqBL5vGhNFQ#t=64 I've never seen anyone that can play like this. Even Yngwie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennis Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 He's playing a practiced composition. Something kids can learn quite easily if they want/get pushed to. Let's put it this way, a kid might be able to recite long sections of the Harry Potter books from memory, but an old experienced man can tell you an original story from his own life packed with wisdom. It's the whole feel vs speed thing again. ask a woman if it's preferable for a man to finish as quickly as possible, or take his sweet time about it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awel Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Do any UK members remember the name Thomas McRocklin? The mini-Vai from the 80s? I remember him in Vai's 'the audience is listening' video, then in his own band, Bad 4 Good, but don't know what he's doing now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yqMkjy4jPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
