Wunderkinds

My buddy James and I have been jamming a bit as of late. We both play the Guitar, so we will hang for a few hours and play around. I have been playing guitar for about 12 years, and while I don't suck, I realized how not great I am. Yesterday we were checking out some videos of fellow guitarists on YouTube. There are some pretty incredible talents out there. Check out this 11-year old rocking Jimi's Hey Joe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u79h0a7jeQ
There is this incredible guitarist named Andy McKee that does some awesome things on his acoustic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU You definitely need to view his other stuff as well, but first take a gander at this 10-year old boy covering Rylynn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDzyWAaoBAM

Needless to say, all of these cats make me look like I don't even know what a guitar is. Shameful! Time to practice...
