How lovely to hear raw talent.

You aren't impressed because his camcorder mic has crappy tone? 
And you aren't impressed because you're 14 and he's 12? Tell you what. Call me when you're 30 and tell me if you can play at his level then. |

| | Not Actually Knighted... Yet! | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Cincinnati, Ohio | | | dunno, he is definitely good, but I don't see age as a big issue. Different people start playing at different ages, would you be impressed if you were 36 and a 26 year old we're as good as this kid? I would be saying the same thing I am now: he is good, but not amazing or overly impressive. I think this probably because he has been playing for about the same amount of time as me, and I think I am around his skill level (I'm 19 tho). I do play in a much different style though.
eh, i don't think i ellaborated on my ideas enough... let me know if i should expand lol

He's clearly interested in funk bass playing which is alright with me! Not many kids are that good at that age! By the time he's 16 he'll be a monster player! Only thing now is he needs a Fender and get rid of that piece of log!  |

I think you might be thinking about it in more technichal terms, perhaps? I understand where you are coming from, though! |

Anybody can follow another person. If anyone of us sat down for a few hours a day, and tried to learn every MM/Jaco/Wooten tune in existence, hell, we could pull it off. I'm more concerned with the originality the kid brings. The B Minor song he wrote is pretty well thought out, as well as his A Minor jam. Talent? Yup. Originality? Needs a bit of work. The kid works hard on covers, and he has results. Give him a few years of studying improv/melody/counter point, and we just might have a monster player on board. My .02
