Board is kind of slow these days, so I hope no one will mind my sharing this.

My son has only been playing guitar for a year and a half. He is a huge PJ fan and has taught himself almost everything in their catalog.

Please be nice with any comments -- remember he is only 13 years old!

    This sounds great! He's way better than I was at that age. I remember it taking me 3 months to learn how to play Nirvana's "About A Girl" and that's only 3 chords! Learning to play music is the greatest thing you can do for yourself! Tell him to keep up the good work, if he's this good now, he's gonna be phenomenal in just a few years time, and the chicks will totally dig it too! Rock On! ...Sweet guitar too!

    Thanks for the encouraging words.

    I have absolutely zero musical ability, so it's pretty cool to be able to see your kids be able to do something that you couldn't do in a million years!

    Awesome stuff, congrats! I've been playing for 6 or so months, I am no good, not sure I ever will be. This is one song I desperately want to be able to play.

    I'll be honest with you. When I read the OP where it said "please be kind...only 13" I thought Id see a kid give it a shot, but not quite have it.

    That was fantastic! It looked (sounded) like he may have been nervous at the start, but as the song progressed so did he. Very good, keep up the good work.

    Very well done.

    Tell your son he has some future fans on this board.

    Music is one of the greatest gifts any parent can give their children. I know my parents support of my love for music has made my life far more beautiful than it could have been.

    Once again, thanks for all the positive feedback. I'll definitely have my son read all the encouraging comments.

    Just as an FYI, my son was "immortalized" during Encore Break 1 of Philly 3!

    Truly awesome. I love to see kids inspired by music (especially good music).

    And on a side note, he's much better than I was at that age!

    Tell him to stick with it!
