@Vlad Matei The fact that you're 16 years old and you listen to songs that are older than you means nothing, you won't be above others, you just miss new songs that are not older than you but still sounds good.
Only problem in this video is.... the amp wasn’t loud enough Edit: my comment wasn’t meant to be negative towards the kid.What I was implying was that the the audio wasn’t loud enough, not that there was a problem with his playing. (Little dude is an amazing guitar player, totally look up to him)
@@gameplayers-4746 Actually yes it is "his fault", because he personally adjust volume at beginning.. Edit: and that size amplifier can be much more louder than that believe me, but ok, it's just a kid :-)
@@briangray6476 I'm just saying, he clearly knows how to play guitar, but I think he just chose a song a bit out of his skill range. And people are greatly exaggerating how good he really was.
@@pashafn3171 well i didn’t start playing guitar until i was 12, and I didn’t attempt Eruption then, so idk how good i could play. I’m just saying that he didn’t play it that good. he screwed up most of the solo. You can’t tell me he did good, so shut up about him being the next Eddie Van Halen when he screwed up most of the solo!
As a fellow guitarist I can tell this kid is great he’s nervous man he’s only ten and he can finger tap he knows palm mutes everything man he’s great and just think that’s him at only age ten imagine him at age 16 if guitar is something he loves I am 16 and have been playing guitar since I was 4 now by the time I was ten let’s just say I still was no where near to as good as he is bro he’s amazing
Honestly, finger taping is one of the easiest techniques to learn on the guitar. It's definitely the easiest part of Eruption. He didn't play any of the parts quite right, but for 10 years old he's definitely on the right path. Would love to hear how he sounds today.
@@pthibault630 hey, give him a break. i recognized most of it, sure it sounded a little weird, but you cant expect perfection from a 10 yr old going against EVH, who played guitar for 40? 50? years
Now these are the types of teachers we need teaching our children in these schools and the ones who set a childs mind afire and give them a reason to aspire to how they should in life. Bravo you amazing young man also. You both set the bar as a teacher and student, thank you both.
@@ethangrebner7585 I never said it was note for note Ethan! For his age what he plays he plays it very well. I was simply trying to make a distinction between the two different generations of how all older guitarists didn't have all the resources and and learning tools that younger guitarists have at their disposal today. When Eruption first came out there was no internet, no tabs, no N U F F I N and what you learnt you learnt by ear
@@thefog7067 I know, but he played it probably worse than most guitarists learned by ear, so to say, "That's how you play it!" to a dude who messed up 70 percent of the solo is inaccurate.
He is not actually bad, it's just that he picked a song a bit out of his skill level at the time, new guitar players just choose the hardest thing that they can kinda play when asked to play, he is 10, it's to be expected.
@@bonniebianco5918 what sort of an answer is that, since when Can you not have an opinion which is legit without posting a video of yourself? The boy is good but make a lot of mistakes. Do i need to show you a video of me playing?
...and he got offered 10 chocolate milks by 10 girls at the lunch the following period!! LOL. Great to see this teacher celebrating his skill as well. Very cool of her.
@@maxlethe3973 don't be salty because he worked hard on something he loved and achieved it at a young age while you are sitting there on your butt wondering what went wrong
Good to see the younger gen carrying the torch. I wish they had cell phone camera when I was that age, I knew a kid who could CRUSH this. I've got audio tape, us kids couldn't afford pocket video editors back then.
The coolest thing is he's self taught. I've self taught many songs, but not big solos like this. Those types of people are the ones with real talent. Just about anybody can read tabs and get it down after hours, to weeks, to months of practice.
At first, when he started playing I was like oh boy, this is not going to be good... he just warms up a little and he starts nailing a lot of the harder parts, like the tapping. That was greats
I know this video is a few years old, but what is this kid doing now? 10 years old and playing like that? He's probably so awesome that nobody can accompany him on stage! Solo rock star!
Check out his main channel (pinned at the top). The dude is a freakin amazing classical guitar player (amazing guitar player in general). The play that good at 10 is pretty awesome.
God i hope this kid chased his dream and didnt get mixed up in drugs or girls or something stupid. This ladies and gentlemen is talent. It took me 7 years to learn eruption and he played it with just a few mistakes at 10 years old. Absolutely unbelievable.
I know people disliked the video cause maybe he wasn't the best but you gotta give this guy some credit a guy that can play eruption at age 10 is insane
I turned in to hear the guitar not the long winded woman! Great guitar work young man. Brought tears to my eyes. That happens when someone like you gives their all and it comes out in the form of music. Keep rocking little dude you're going to the top. Enjoy the ride. Eddie still lives in you.
relax bro, it's only rock n roll. The kid is doing better than most 16 year olds I hear at Guitar Center when I walk in. The sloppiness will get better as he ages if he improves, and the audience less forgiving if he doesn't. He wasn't a paid act, so I think parents at the school are more than appropriate to clap for his performance at 10 years of age. There are plenty of shoddy adult guitar cover videos you could rip into instead of this kid.

Garrett Pod nice! You have a gift. Do what MY instructor told me to do 30 years ago; practice EVERY DAY, and practice what you DON'T know, the worst thing that'll happen is you'll get better. There will be critics, listen but don't take them personally. Rock on young man!
224 dislikes for a 10 year old playing on garbage equipment, probably scared out of his mind. Kudos brother you did awesome. The ones trying to put you down probably can't do what you're are doing at 10. Keep shredding young dude. Respect
Doc Steppa - a bit more then 224 dislikes. Stop age discrimination dude. If he was 45 would it be ok to give him a thumbs down? It’s not his age people are judging him by.
And the sad thing is that just like every other kid that is actually good at something they get shutdown by "cooler" kids and claim they could do better at age 3
This is exactly how I met my best friend in grade 5 in 1994. He was a new kid, and bought his guitar to school for show and tell, and to the shock of everyone played Eruption. We started a band the very next day. lol. Well done dude. Keep rocking!
As my drill instructors never told me during boot camp at Parris Island... OUTSTANDING! haha THIS is one the primary reasons why EVH is so important to heavy metal, hard rock or just rock n roll in general. Because he inspires kids like this to play guitar. Congrats to this young man. I wish you nothing but the best and, whatever you do, keep on playing so you, too, can inspire kids who come up after you to learn to rock! Cheers!
He did a great job. Especially, for as young as he is. Goes to show you. Rock n Roll will never die. Passing the torch on. Don't be surprised, if he made it one day.
Eddie VanHalen would be so proud if he saw this. Well done!! I was waiting for “You Really Got Me” as soon as Eruption finished. Yep…I’ve listened to that album a few times. Haha!!
He’s only 10! Determination is life! Great job lil dude! Even if you only did it once! Thank you teacher for believing in you! Thank your parents for the loving influence! 👍💭 Rock ON!!
most classical pieces on such fretless string instruments are massively harder than what he played. Note that the guitar has frets so intonation isn't a problem at all. Anyway he was 10 at the time and had much to improve and learn.
Garrett Podgorski dude, pls ditch that strat. I love the guitars but unless that thing is set up, it’s gonna hold you back. Look into some Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel and maybe even ESP guitars. They would fit your playing style better, out of the box that is. You can make the strat shred though. Just lower the action and work in the intonation. And maybe float the bridge. Good job though dude. That’s better than I was able to play eruption for a long time! I only just got it down......
Dude that was rad I remember being a little dude picking up my first violin and knowing that my string addiction was just beginning enjoy that feeling and never lose it trust me it's all worth it!!!!
Harrison Halper I’ve been playing guitar since I was 6 and I can say that even me could play better than him at his age. He messed up so many times it’s not even funny.
i cant believe what i am seeing!! when i see him as the most successful guitarist on earth, i can say that i saw a vid of him play eruption by van halen at the age of 10. WOW!!!
Love our generation of teachers. They know what good music is...My old teachers thought anything like this was satan music and unacceptable....Lil man can jam!
shout out to that teacher for noticing his passion and allowing him to express it even though it goes against what they do in class
I love my music teacher he likes rock too so we have more guitars than anything else
And he sucks
Absolutely well said. Shes a music person she knows whats up
Absolutely ☝☝
She is the music teacher that I wish I had lol
Imagine if Eddie actually saw this. May the rock legend rest in peace
He’s playing for god now
you know eddie saw this. you know eddie sees this. kid has great skillz.
Considering this was posted 7 years ago I'm sure he saw it. Rest easy Eddie.
Believe me, he does now.
May he Rest in Piece! One of my biggest inspirations!

Poor kid in the Santa hats like "wtf? My triangle solo is gonna SUCK after that"!
Buy that boy a Les Paul!
i saved up and got one!! thanks!
Garrett Pod nice! You have a gift. Do what MY instructor told me to do 30 years ago; practice EVERY DAY, and practice what you DON'T know, the worst thing that'll happen is you'll get better. There will be critics, listen but don't take them personally. Rock on young man!
😉😂😂
Jeffery Allan hahaha so true. Totally upstaged.
ahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhaha best fucking comment goes to you sir.
Love that lady for being so awesome and letting the kid do his thing
the girl with the glasses, and that's how groupies starts...
Inappropriate to say of a ten yr old
@@aestheticallypleasing7184 Well now they are grown up, so it cancels out. PEMDAS or some shit
@@Frost_0__ that comment is fucking gold oh my god lmao
@@Frost_0__ hahahaaaaa
@@Frost_0__...
What is "PEMDAS"?
Legend has it, every girl there went home with him after the prom 8 years later
224 dislikes for a 10 year old playing on garbage equipment, probably scared out of his mind. Kudos brother you did awesome. The ones trying to put you down probably can't do what you're are doing at 10. Keep shredding young dude. Respect
Amen brother
Too right mate!
Doc Steppa - a bit more then 224 dislikes. Stop age discrimination dude. If he was 45 would it be ok to give him a thumbs down? It’s not his age people are judging him by.
Age discrimination isn't real ur supposed to treat kids differently that's how the world works
And the sad thing is that just like every other kid that is actually good at something they get shutdown by "cooler" kids and claim they could do better at age 3
This is exactly how I met my best friend in grade 5 in 1994. He was a new kid, and bought his guitar to school for show and tell, and to the shock of everyone played Eruption. We started a band the very next day. lol. Well done dude. Keep rocking!
That day he celebrated with a SECOND milk carton. He was feeling crazy so he got chocolate.
XD
I remember the day I switched to chocolate milk. It was back in pre-k when I overheard someone saying how good chocolate milk was, so I had to try it.
Chocolate milk. Not even once
@@TheNuclearBolton and you never looked back?
Good ole' Hardworkin' American I still prefer chocolate milk lol, I drink it at the highschool all the time
As my drill instructors never told me during boot camp at Parris Island... OUTSTANDING! haha THIS is one the primary reasons why EVH is so important to heavy metal, hard rock or just rock n roll in general. Because he inspires kids like this to play guitar. Congrats to this young man. I wish you nothing but the best and, whatever you do, keep on playing so you, too, can inspire kids who come up after you to learn to rock! Cheers!
He did a great job. Especially, for as young as he is. Goes to show you. Rock n Roll will never die. Passing the torch on. Don't be surprised, if he made it one day.
He deserves a lot more attention, at least a standing ovation
Eddie VanHalen would be so proud if he saw this. Well done!! I was waiting for “You Really Got Me” as soon as Eruption finished. Yep…I’ve listened to that album a few times. Haha!!
WOW! Rock Will Never Die!!! Well done young man! We’ve waited so long for the next generation of rockers, you are Royalty!
That one girl in the bow tie is proably crushing
I don’t think the kids know how good that was
Viagra
It wasnt very good but not bad for a young kid
Kyle Wassinger were you that good at that age?
On the drums yes im not a guitar player
Kyle is correct
When I was 10 I was playing with plastic green Army men
when i was ten i was playing with legos
"i take great pride in not being as talented when I was ten"
Bob F. When i was 10 i was eating mud and my parents told me once i pooped and worshipped the mountain i made out of it .
Bob F. So was I 😁
Same here except i was breaking and losing mine
He’s only 10! Determination is life! Great job lil dude! Even if you only did it once! Thank you teacher for believing in you! Thank your parents for the loving influence! 👍💭
Rock ON!!
Take a look off to the right, the two girls sitting there staring at him. He's already a rock star!
others:
Cellos, violins and other classical stuff
Garrett:
Kills Eruption on blue strat...
Take away "kills"
most classical pieces on such fretless string instruments are massively harder than what he played. Note that the guitar has frets so intonation isn't a problem at all. Anyway he was 10 at the time and had much to improve and learn.
@@GammaFZ I didnt mean it like guitar is harder, I know that fretless instruments are hard to play but I meant the genre difference
David Šťastný ah ok. Understood
@@GammaFZ I know that but hey
You have to accept that Eruption sounds way cooler and you look super cool while doing that
Nice. Good to see someone who appreciates the classics.
Kicks over his amp and then slowly looks around the room. "I guess you're not ready for this yet. But your kids are going to love it".
And this is when little Emily became a rock groupie
Lmao
UaBOZO 77 haha
Shit well here I am now
LMFAO
Emily Knutsen LMFAO
A lot of young girls entered puberty that day.
Yeah
Thanks for a laugh ...I was thinking the same thing @@Silhouex
yall are weird bruh
Justin Abramson bwahahahaha
Wdym?
This is my main channel!
Garrett Podgorski kinda messy on the trem picking btw you might want to work on that and your speed
Garrett Podgorski dude, pls ditch that strat. I love the guitars but unless that thing is set up, it’s gonna hold you back.
Look into some Ibanez, Jackson, Charvel and maybe even ESP guitars. They would fit your playing style better, out of the box that is.
You can make the strat shred though. Just lower the action and work in the intonation. And maybe float the bridge.
Good job though dude. That’s better than I was able to play eruption for a long time! I only just got it down......
So did you make bowtie girl your girlfriend after this or what?
craig molle I couldn’t find videos of you showing us how it’s done. Put up or shut up Craig!
N
Holy moly.... TEN YEARS OLD!!! SUPERBLY PLAYED YOUNG MAN!
After 35 years playing guitar i still can't play as good as him.
Dude that was rad I remember being a little dude picking up my first violin and knowing that my string addiction was just beginning enjoy that feeling and never lose it trust me it's all worth it!!!!
School of rock material
Sam Schell Jack Black is shedding a tear
Before Eddie, no one could play like this. Now, thousands can play like this.
I can’t tell if he has a shit amp or is just fuffing up every pull off he’s doing.
Its a line 6
He’s in fifth grade. Don’t judge.
Wow he fucked up so bad my ears hurt.
Harrison Halper
I’ve been playing guitar since I was 6 and I can say that even me could play better than him at his age. He messed up so many times it’s not even funny.
Skully Skull I bet he played it as a 10 year old better than you can right now 😂
What kind of jerk would give this little kid a thumbs down? Great video. Wish I was as good as you!
Any good guitar player would..I take it you have no talent
@@georgealmeida7382 thank you for understanding
i cant believe what i am seeing!! when i see him as the most successful guitarist on earth, i can say that i saw a vid of him play eruption by van halen at the age of 10. WOW!!!
Love our generation of teachers. They know what good music is...My old teachers thought anything like this was satan music and unacceptable....Lil man can jam!
