Little Rock Stars


(YouTube Link)


Last night, Miss Cellania linked to a video of a five-year old boy playing Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" very well.  Pop culture blog Urlesque took this idea and ran with it, compiling ten videos of children, aged three to ten, performing rock songs.  The above video is of an eight-year old boy playing "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix.

As a guitar instructor, I am always amazed at the talent level some of these kids have. Makes me wish my over privileged kids would actually sit down and practice! HA!

But seriously, it is obvious that most of these kids actually like what they are doing, and that is why they are so awesome at it. I can't begin to tell you how many kids are taking music lessons because their parents are trying to live through them. I'm cool with people forcing their kids to learn music for the discipline. Heck, I think it's a great thing. But there are a lot of them who are like little emotional parasites.

He's great on the guitar but noticeably loses it when he starts to sing - like the singing is too much of a distraction. My advice; just stick to the guitar and let somebody else sing.

All impressive. This was my favorite that i found a while
ago. If i cannot link, search "carry on my wayward son" on you-tube, scroll to 10 year old. This girl is playing piano, bass, drums and guitar at the same time. and doing it very well.
