Topic: Youtube prodigy-now 11 y/o

I've never seen a kid this young play like this. This is at 11, but he also has some when he was 8 and they're also at the same level. Not blues, but amazing stuff.

His name is Anton Oparin and he's from Russia. Here he is at a guitar clinic at 11. I guess he can do more than just shred.

I've seen that kid before Ken however, I seem to remember another kid who at age 11, met B.B. King. Then the next day, B.B's manager called this kid and his parents and invited him out on summer tour. Of course, that kid's birthday is sometime in May and so actually, he was 12 when he went on tour with B.B. King. His name escapes me at the moment, but I think his initials are J. B. He was quite good back then, but they say he's really grown into a fine guitarist now. wink

That kid is amazing. He makes it look so effortless. I'm sure he could play anything he wanted to.
