Time for Another Kid Genius!

Electric guitars and rock music may not be everyone's cup of tea, but rarely does one come upon something like this. The next informal electric guitar performance is by an eight year old boy who plays his instrument like a master. Not only does he skillfully play this instrument, he also fuses genres. He starts of with a very technical solo that transforms into a classical baroque piece which he then transforms yet again into a fusion of heavy rock, classical intonation (if listening carefully) and funk-rock solo technique only mastered after decades of dedicated practice. For the faint hearted - keep on going. It is in the end that the camera closes up on his hands, showing this prodigy's slight of hand and confident (and almost bored) stance. It is one of the most remarkable things I have ever seen...
