@@claemayor1650 I'd say I'd play cleaner if you gave me 2 weeks to learn over it and practise it. But this guy wrote it so he has the advantage of feel and memory, even if he has any feel
too be honest call it bashing but to be realistic as a guitarist it seemed more improvised with little music theory knowledge all he did was do the same hamer and pull off patern with a bunch of tremolo picking and random finger taping to pass some knowledge to him would to state something someone had said to people who wanted to learn to shred , " it's harder to play slower than it is to play fast" with that i give you the keys to the lamborghini - M. A. B. (not verbatim but close enough)
I like the ohhh ohhh ohhh in the 3:56, but the solo doesn't give any sense and miss half of the notes when he tremolo-picked but he could be amazing if he gets the timing right.
Ben, you are worth an encore praise - I've watched this 5 times...I know Les Paul, wherever he is, can only admit this can't possible be done on one of his guitars! "Yes it can, Paul!!!" Way to go, Ben!
First of all, Les Paul had nothing to do with the guitar itself, he only had an endorsement deal for it. Second of all, the best guitar players of all time including Page, Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen played Les Pauls, and you're getting hard over a kid who is playing shitty improvisation?
I thought he nailed it not with a hammer but a 4 pound mini sledge ! Don't listen to detractors....I could see smoke coming off the strings !!!!! Bravo !!!!
Pretty cool, but not the best by any means. To those of you who are upset with the constructive criticism or insults, people shouldn't go around making the title of their video questioning whether or not they are the greatest High School guitarist in America and not expect a little constructive criticism along with some hecklers and or insults
@@alexk4020 when was it stated that it’s his fault? Obviously the school is at fault here. They’re blatantly asserting that he’s arguably the best high school guitarist in america in the form of a rhetorical question. The kid most likely didn’t consent to this at all, my school put a trash ass bad lighting photo of me in front of their campus (which thousands of people pass by) (because I got good grades in the IGCSE exam) and I can’t do anything about it.

He plays great! At least better than me. But I think a good guitarist is not just play fast but also comes with musical melody and showing off amazing knowledge of music theory.
Great playing. Def work on your sweeps. I heard some attempts and it just wasnt clean. and i get it was a solo thing but if you dont already practice with a met my dude the tempo was kinda all over the place.
If he could tighten up the parts where the other strings glisten through his notes because that sounds messing otherwise I’d give it to him probably the best in his county
Watched almost the whole video but I was waiting for an actual song . He does have great talent but was waiting for him to into a song something like that.
Dorito lad69 well don't bash people's beliefs because u don't understand how infinite dimensions works there is a good even its not in our dimension also the versal levels would hunt that there is a higher level of being like 4th dimensional but I better stop before I confuse you
Kid has some knowledge but maybe not so much talent. I'd suggest he vocalize along as he practices to get a better feel for the sound rather than relying on repetition alone to burn it in. He's missing too much and looks like he's holding his breath half the time because he's not releasing. And I'm with Jillian Grouix, there is Way Too Much production quality in this to be a simple high school competition of some kind. Matching-grade 4k digital cameras and crew able to keep them out of each others' shots...
I am a little triggered by the title of this video. Sure some people can say than playing guitar behind your neck is impressive, people like my guitar teacher would say this is one of the worst Performances he has ever seen. (no offense. Seriously)
He can play fast but it is hard to listen to because of the tone and then the sloppiness and the lack of melody. There is potential but nowhere where where close, you can find middle schoolers to even the occasional elementary student better than him. He and had a lack of feeling in it, idrk. I didnt likening very much
Am I the only one impressed that this high school talent show has multiple camera angles?
and the cameras have more than 7 pixels
I didnt even think about that wow
Yeah that’s the only thing impressive about this video
@@calebcarroll838 someone's jealous...
Yeah my show has been just filmed from the side of the stage bc. Smartphones are not allowed fml
He’s a little sloppy but he has his moments where he just takes off and shreds!
I agree.
He’s a kid
Am I the only one who sees a younger Andrew Garfield?
HOLY HELL YEAHHH
@Angus Gray he means the guy just looks like Andrew Garfield dude
Yeah but I can't decide oh he's more douchier
Yep holy shit
damn wtf yeah
If you are gonna own a Les Paul at the very least clean it
Dude yes
Especially since that looks like the 1979 Kalamazoo les pail 59 reissue
Yes I felt bad for the guitar
Nope, but he may be the best in the school?
Hes rocking the "more gain so less clean notes I need to play" style lol
Ime better and i have autisim man
@@claemayor1650 I'd say I'd play cleaner if you gave me 2 weeks to learn over it and practise it. But this guy wrote it so he has the advantage of feel and memory, even if he has any feel
Very sloppy in some parts but he has potential. He should probably clean his guitar.
When you don’t stretch your hands before you play😂
Happened to me😂😂
Rough, but interesting.
Angus Gray it's not like he's professional he seems like he's 17 or 18 cut the guy some slack

Eo4EFB dude I was thinking the same thing this kid is a just showing fast hammer on pull offs and should learn some real music
It's true, he should practice slow to gain accuracy and speed, especially phrasing.
Hammer is spelled with two m
thats literally the smallest singlecut ever.... either that or this guy is a giant
The dude is giant
Uh.....keep practicing.....much potential!!!
A bit messy maybe but that can really add to a performance if you are open minded about it
yeah
dang i thought i left a lot of of fingerprints on my guitar, but look at his!
cobraXvenom my black Washburn always loomed like it was filthy or I just ate French fries and decided to play.
cobraXvenom it's probably from a bunch of girls touching it
weird way to get a flex across
Very messy mate, no offense but you should work on your accuracy and muting technique.

RyanGames Lighten up a bit dude, kids still in High School. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.
Clean the guitar please lol keep playing, work on your hand synchronization, good job.

He outright win that show! Still rough around the edges at points but that performance was better than any other act no doubt!
the new spiderman movie looks pretty cool
he is good.. rough around a few edges..noticed..large knuckles....hope he don't go around popping his knuckles..
Can we get this man a fingerprint cloth

never knew spiderman could play guitar as well
this is really uncanny, he looks incredibly like one of my guitarist mates who is equally as tall
the girls in the front @4:13 are ecstatic ;)
You guys straight CHEEsin I never seen some one shred this fast and this Good Very VERY underrated
I'm impressed kids are in school
Where else would they be 3 years ago
He may be able to play “fast” but it doesn’t detract from the fact this performance was sloppy. I’d much rather play slower but clean
And next up, Alice Burgenfel will tap dance, followed by Mary Weidelmeir, playing the clarinet.. Good luck ladies !
Maybe the best. Maybe not. But he sure as heck has a REALLY nice Les Paul 🤙
Sounds like a grunge influenced hair solo
But shit aswell
I heard a touch of PG in there somewhere?? hence the name frenzy?
I heard buckethead but thats just me
Me looking at the front row of girls mouths wide open thinking that man was raking it all in

Speed does not equal talent. He should listen to some David Gilmour.
Great playing. Def work on your sweeps. I heard some attempts and it just wasnt clean. and i get it was a solo thing but if you dont already practice with a met my dude the tempo was kinda all over the place.
“Met”
my right ear enjoyed this.
His guitar pick wasn't the only thing he lost that night ;)
💀💀💀
Tabs?
If he could tighten up the parts where the other strings glisten through his notes because that sounds messing otherwise I’d give it to him probably the best in his county
Good lord my hands hurt just watching. Very good
Good lord my ears hurt just listening to this. Very bad
I wouldn’t say the best, but he’s pretty good
he pulled so hard after this
Fast doesn’t always mean good I wish he slowed down
Need more precition
Watched almost the whole video but I was waiting for an actual song . He does have great talent but was waiting for him to into a song something like that.
he wrote it himself
So what song is that?
Roger K it’s supposed to be “Frenzy” by Racer X (Paul Gilbert).
Great job
Awesome
when andrew garfield playing guitar
This stud got all the chicks after this

You can’t compare him to The Dooo
You cant even compare him to someone who has played 2 years
Not the best but pretty good
I can se all the fingerprints on the guitar 🤢🤮
He didn’t clean off his guitar I see finger prints all over it.
preeettty good.
Wow
WYLD STALLIONS!

Not Jimmy Page of Zeppelin...Jimmy Page from Pensacola, Fl. He's 15 and been playing guitar for a year and a half.
Yeah definitely not in America
