    That's enough to make you just wanna give up playing an instrument.

    That kid has got REAL talent.

    Can't wait to hear him when he's about 21.

    There was one i saw on youtube with a 10 year old chinese girl that did an instrumental version of jouney's Faithfully on piano and it was awesome. She did it at what appeared to be a school function in china and when she got done you could have heard a pin drop. Nobody knew the song or understood how fantastic she had just played it.

      Did we all watch the same video:confused:
      The kid has some raw talent, but he sure didn't nail Tom Sawyer.
      In fact I had to stop after 1:35 because I couldn't stand all the mistakes.

        No Thom, he didn't nail it but this kid can play...and remember, he's only
        4 years old.

        Like I said, I can't wait to hear him when he's 21.

          I know Steve.
          He just sounded like he is 4 to me.
          I agree if he stays with it and takes lessons at 21 he will be a killer.
          Hell at 12 he'll be a killer.

        Thanks Thom.I was wondering the same thing.Seems the "anything a child does deserves a standing ovation" crowd has slipped in here.
        I'm with all of those that say he has some talent but he isn't anything fantastic at this point in time.
        I hope he does stick with it tho, he certainly has potential!

    Long way to go before he can give up his day job.

    But he should keep at it, by the he time hits puberty he'll no doubt be awesome. Then again at that time he'll also discover girls, and we all know how things are never the same after that.

    For the time being I'll stick with Neil, Geddy and Alex.

    He's got rythm....keeps pretty good timing....I'd give him a "8" for effort....and the fact that he's 4

    Neil keeps straight sixteenth notes going with his right hand on the high-hat

    Hard to do for the entire song

    He's set for life. He is a prodigy and will be a rock star eventually, guaranteed.
