Andreas Varady - 13 year old jazz guitar prodigy

This kid is for real! I can hear the George Benson, Pat Martino, and Bireli Lagrene influence in his playing.

I wasn't even listening to jazz when I was 13... Imagine how he'll sound in 10 years. Scary!

You know, a fair amount of posts of this type are made or have been made in other mediums. It seems like most of these kids never end up being anything. I wonder if a lot of them burn out or hit a plateau and get bored.

The playing is good for sure.
