13 year old kid nails Jaco's ''The Chicken'' on a 6 string!

That kid is really good, but I am not surprised. The hard part of music is creating it. Once music is created, anyone can learn it if they have the time and aptitude. FOr example, when Paganini first created his etudes, they were mindblowing, now they are standard student material. Jaco is the same. I have seen little eleven year olds nail Potrait of Tracy at the local music shop.
 
Yup. I surrender. He wins.

That kid is wayyyyy better at 13 than I am now at 25!!!! Not to say age has anything to do with it, but damn! That kid kills!


5-11 at 13 here, but the kid still kicks my ass at bass!

To quote Cosmo Kramer, I'm out.

Well, he sure has me beat. :bawl:

Luckily, music isn't a competition or a race.
