    Good lad. Thoroughly enjoyed those even though the genre's not really my thing.

    He certainly can play.

    Hope he gets to make a decent living from it.

    He reckons he can produce squealies at will (aka pinch harmonics) but I'm not having that.
    compared to your average contractor he sounds like a doddle

    I just play with myself these days as well.

    He's got a great ear for harmony and very melodic. Top class!

    Actually this brings me to a point - he's been contacted by Google about the fact he's had so many hits but he binned the email, typical muso, speaking to him last night about that, he told me on his previous youtube account (before he binned that in a mood) on one vid he had 62,000 hits, not a huge amount but not bad for no SEO or owt like that, just WOM and random hits.

    Now I notice one of his current vids is getting plastered with Google ads, how does that work WRT to getting some dosh out of it?

    Anyone any ideas? I feel a Plan C coming on....

    Does he take requests?
    Cheers! Just pimping him out! I'm encouraging him not to just think of playing but the studio side of things too, thing is he has the star-quality rock-star looks, 18 yo now, 6' 3" thin as a lat, hair like Doctor Mac on Green Wing, and super-arrogant with it, not personally, just in his playing.

    My brother had a similar story, surprised us all as a teenager turned into a bit of a virtuoso on guitar stuff, done well for himself now, has had stuff played on Radio and TV.
    He's been playing three years, now at Music College, he's been a total pain in the arse during his teenage years but now he seems to have found some direction with this stuff, costing me a fortune in guitars and Apple software now! He's my Plan B!

    Metal not my bag either, tho Rush is! I've got him working his way through the outro for I Am The Resurrection, lets see how that goes....
