No feeling.  <br><br>He has all the time in the world to become musical.  <br><br>I hope that this kid has good teachers who encourage good technique.  It would be a shame that such potential could be jeopardized by physical injury.  Playing guitar is such a physical activity, especially for young developing muscles.

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[it was cool for about 5 seconds, then i got bored.  i'm just not impressed by shredding at all.  <br><br>sure, he's got room to improve.  but, if he just sticks to the shred, he won't improve.  i think shredding in general is just so impersonal and lacks serious creativity.  it's just a barrage of notes.  anyone with a decent amount of dexterity can do it if they practice nonstop.  the kid's off to a great start, technically.  but he's not even close to being musical.  that's all i see it as...a start.  and to me, and most of us, the music is more important than the person playing it or the flash involved.    <br><br>to kinda quote frost, he's got miles to go before he sleeps.<br><br>and now i must sleep.  goodnight all]]></content:encoded>
