Yep, and I expect he's still a better player than about 90% of BCers anyway :)

I can buy beer and have sex every night.[/quote]

...and reach the first fret.

I didn't watch for longer thatn about 20" - just not my thing. This is the internet - if I want to watch people engaging in 'teenage exercise' then surely there are sites that specialise in that sort of thing?

No doubt the kid's got some chops though.

Of course, but how many kids that age have a well-developed sense of musical/performance taste? Having the chops is a good start as the taste (hopefully) develops?

TBH past the first few minutes it wasn't so bad anyway

Nah, I reckon it's good old-fashioned grumpy-old-man healthy cynicism. He's just too cute. We don't like James Blunt either.

Must admit I didn't watch it all, it's just I haven't slept for a couple of nights and am a bit mischievous with a "red bull and bananas" sugar rush.

Just had a watch. He's very good.
And in all fairness if he gets all the "1st one to E wins" out of his system by the time he's 16, he'll undoubtedly make a fine bassist.

[quote name='longtimefred' post='1328946' date='Aug 5 2011, 04:43 PM']Thats more like it!!!!! kids should be into ACDC not nasty slimy smooth jazz rubbish![/quote]

Or they could be into both and be way better off. Anyway,I'd rather listen to the first
video than the kid playing ACDC.

The kid has obviously got chops,but I think we've got to wait a few years yet to see
where he takes it-if he does take it further.

Two salient points (outside of the taste/talent argument)

Where'd he get the bass / pay for strings / pay for lessons (if applicable) There's some sort of advantageous scenario behind his ability.
Will he still be able to do that when he has a considerably larger right thumb. I can lay my thumb parallel to the strings on an instrument with 16.5mm spacing, and cover 3 strings with it. That ought to be useful, but it ain't.
Hope he manages to keep going and enjoy a career in music if that's what he wants in half a decade's time.
