11 year old Anton Oparin play's Paul Gilbert's "Scarified" and "Let the Computer Decide" Watch other vids with even more difficult tunes! And his favorite band is AC/DC

[@marlinjames]

I dont understand why anyone could say a bad thing about kids like this. I have been playing the guitar for about 25 years and had tears in my eyes after watching this. it is truly awe inspiring. I wish I could play like him! you should really think about who you are as a person. just get off the internet you are clogging it up!

[@АндрейКоновалов-е9щ]

Антон это шедевр. Таких нет и не будет... Просто супер!

[@AAAAAA-zx8vi]

There are people that have spent literally decades trying to be this good and here is an eleven year old smashing it out of the park with impossible/supernatural ease! Amazing! subbed :)

[@420captain]

Who is this young man? Unbelievable. 11 years old? unreal. I get sick thinking about how good this kid is and how I will never be as good as he is ever. But I'm glad there are people like him out there so we can have great music to look forward too.

[@BrunoMasquio]

Im just petrified!!! I cant even say a word!!! may this genius keep his nice working

[@intervalkid]

Genius! Absolute guitar prodigy! No doubt.

[@coryellis5973]

been following the guy since the last vid and was wondering how hes been keeping his chops up. Props to you man, you've got some great potential to work with and time is on your side. Do something great with it.

[@NAThan9871]

oh my god... how may it be possible ? So perfect playing at 11...

[@sam31]

l bet that this is the most accurate at this tempo YT has to testify. Anton was insane

[@nonaouellette531]

My new favorite guitar player.

[@miguelhaleco]

You are one of a kind brother! AMAZING!

[@steveraz]

Crazy just crazy awesome playing man. Really great

[@RipFZ]

It's so clean!

[@tighttritenight]

I got a feeling it won't be long until this video blows up on youtube...and deservingly so

[@tighttritenight]

This really boggles my mind. I really don't understand how an 11 year old can be so good.

[@JS1200RULES]

Good lord! How can he play so good at that age! I'm haunted by this vid, Lol! Truly was amazed when he started playing this. Such talent man! ROCK IS YOUR PURPOSE!

[@tomguignette2821]

No one played like that when I was 11. The only thing I could say to improve is your string bending. Fast, clean and out of this world!

[@sssdfrfwrgr]

This is just insane. Paul Gilbert would be proud.

[@tighttritenight]

I agree with you. He probably does have a world class teacher, but technique like his takes years to develop which really is the amazing thing since he is only 11.

[@drkats]

Excellent!

[@JazzGtrDude]

Spot on and amazing. I disagree with the fellow on here that says this kid will be in a crappy metal band for 5 years and then quit music. IMO the more likely scenario is that he will get bored with rock/shred guitar and focus his efforts towards becoming one of the best jazz or classical guitarists ever. Either that or he'll encounter the resources to become a rock star. Either way, at bare minimum, I think this kid will have a sense of self-fulfillment in his future.

[@Nick--Name]

А парень решил посвятить себя созданию гитаристов - открыл школу игры на электрогитаре.

[@calitot]

amazing!! congratulations

[@bopkins14]

Awesome job little buddy, cant wait to meet you :)

[@ichibyo]

awesome dude!!!

[@steveraz]

you are crazy, how could you talk about tone after seeing that kid play?? That was just out of this world good

[@MJPTHA3RD]

Fuck dude. If he's playing what Gilbert was playing at 15 and later in his solo career, around 27, imagine the compositions you'd be composing.....Hope to see you continue you're career and see you be the next Virtuoso of our generation. :)

[@santamara]

Amazing!!

[@thinktwice8860]

Great job young man!

[@thinktwice8860]

I just saw the date. Haha! I guess you’re 20 or 21 now. I’m sure you’re still killing it!

[@skatingfool13]

this kid shows great talent

[@EADPE]

music student from a music school, no surprise BUTTTTTTTTT he is really amazing and talented :D

[@LIKANDROMAX]

Amazing! P.Gilbert's "Let The Computer Decide"(2nd composition)written for 7 strings, played on 6 strings?!

[@zaroul78]

arrrgh!!! scarified!!!! awesome!!!

[@Fr3derick]

Fantastic!!! Thanks for posting:) Grandma Mary

[@BacillusAntraksis]

junior slash! eccellente !!

[@WilfredHildonen]

Most amazing - but what amazes me next is people like Deathyman. Incredible! How does he manage? I am speechless! "Hundreds can play this well and far better than he can." Well, show me those hundreds...

[@ezequieles]

I can see that he is going to be the next Guthrie Govan. These days there are only two people who cant really stop watching play. One is Guthrie Govan and the other is this kid, he is amazing!

[@catapei]

lol dude. u have quite a sensibility awesome playing boy!!! keep on!!

[@jayveejames]

wala akong masabi sa batang ito.. ibang klase..

[@winrar]

unbelievable

[@weiks8]

Great...

[@pauly414]

he's gona be a superstar

[@BoskoCubrilo]

Shit! This was awesome! I dream of having that technique.

[@Deathyman]

Was hitting the composing part of my argument good sir =o.

[@ProyectoEvelyn]

impresionante!!! saludos

[@angerland]

wow sin palabras

[@tommi_vuori]

omg plays better than most with 10 years of experience

[@tighttritenight]

haha you're hilarious. I don't know any other guitarists personally that have achieved this kid's technical abilities in 4-5 years. He's truly a phenomenon. And yes everyone is aware of Mozart's compositional skills as a young child, but he was also one of the greatest musical minds in history. How do you know he is not a great composer anyway? He is going to post videos on youtube of songs that everyone knows to get more views. I'm sure this kid has some great musical ideas

[@yanava]

that's fucking amazing!! way to go kid!! rock on!

[@alexbajotguitarcovers8458]

I thought my phone was gl itching out and playing John petrucci soloing (I was just listening to that.) I just realized it was this guy. Holy shit.

[@guitarfreak12398]

same here!!!!!!!!

[@blissfulguitarist]

I honsestly think that when a musican dies his soul never leaves. It only goes into a child and then that child becomes a virtuoso.

[@JustTouchMe1]

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tinywyvern5611]

So fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@macgyver1968]

Holy crap kid...you have been blessed with an extra measure of "kick ass"....I give the rare crossed arm double devil fingers. You rock. Please..for the love of god..don't try heroin...for some reason heroin kills people with extraordinary musically talent. :) As a fellow guitar player, I am green with envy.

[@cortx2lh]

Isso é realmente algo de dar inveja.

[@puggtiracer]

One day I'll be that good...like maybe when I grow 10 extra fingers and learn to manipulate time with my mind! I've been playing 20 years and you put me to shame!

[@idiotnoobbum]

oh, but did you know that when mozart first started out, he was thought by Haydn? and many of his first compositions had alot of characteristcs that were similar to haydns writing. only later then did he move out into his style of writing, so for this kid here, its natural to copy someone else's work, and later on compose his own style of music.

[@MJPTHA3RD]

@WildKoolAid13 I c where youre coming from.I was more getting at the idea that usually when some1 is able to play a certain song/genre of music,they learn the technique, scales, musicianship,ornamentation, etc of that song/genre(Usually being the key word).Composing is truly a whole different area from just performing,though.The musician who learns these key elements to music will generally have a better chance at composing,knowing the "roots"n all.Although he could have just read tablature.hah.

[@lifestraight]

@ignite105 LOL Don't give up. How long have you been playing? It all oils down to how much time a day you play, and what you commit that time to learning.

[@MJPTHA3RD]

@WildKoolAid13 I am a musician myself, btw. It's really nice to get opinions from other musicians, i.m.o. :)

[@StanFlahautAFD]

watch more videos he does play classical pieces

[@cortez4eva69]

Def 5 stars! Damn.. I'm jealous lol. I wish I wouldve started playin younger I'd be much better than I am now! Neways great job kiddo

[@joebwannabe]

dude you are awesome! did you start playing in the womb?

[@azkeyz]

My new nick name for him is short stroke ! lol And I mean that because he doesn't mess around he gets the note done so well he can afford to move on to the next one , which demonstrates his sick need for perfection, I think his vibrato will improve , then we are all in deep trouble lol

[@damiano100]

makes me just wanna burn my guitar en give up playing it xD I would love to hear some tunes from the kid himself, when can i get his cd lol

[@idiotnoobbum]

what im saying is, the kid is just 11 years old and he can PLAY. why you have to question whether he can compose or not? cos that will surely come when hes older and has more understanding of music.

[@CRF450Rider585]

@codmobile2000 no hendrix did new inventive stuff, this kid is just a freakin machine

[@skaladeritcher666]

wooow Good technique to play Paul Gilbert >

[@eightupsf]

NICE. Sounds like young Becker.

[@massimo.pericolo.w]

@minislashh exactly

[@abls000]

playing let the computer decide on a 6 string? not quite the same, but still awesome. give this kid a juice box and a gold star

[@lespaulnmarshall]

@ilovestinalots Gilbert owns all the other electric guitarist out there! And I'm not a Gilber fan boy. HE even owns yngwie, Did you ever try to play scarified?

[@DreamusMusic]

That kid is mad!:D

[@CSXer]

WOW! Wonder which dead rock stars soul is occupying his body? This talent at his age is un-natural.

[@RoccoPezzin]

I think someone here have to listen to Gilbert last 2 albums or Cacophony....90% of their songs are instrumental

[@AraGuitar]

@tripletth its his brother, i think

[@jayveejames]

i play like him.. but i'm 21 now.. damn..

[@StanFlahautAFD]

Its harder to play with a six and it is not tuned to octaves so your right its not the same its better... He also plays GOOMY without the human capo, check it out...

[@bernardobatista1]

qual é o nome da segunda musica q ele toca??

[@PkedYou]

Practice practice practice Play all day every day. That's what this kid probably has been doing either by natural love of the instrument or his parents.

[@stevethebot]

You are a super saiyan 4!!!!

[@guitaralmond]

man.... furure god

[@Gregorypeckory]

To point out the obvious; this is an 11 year old virtuoso, not an "8 year old" "(this time-11)". Isn't it impressive enough (he is amazing, after all) without misleading people about how young he is in hopes of getting more clicks from silly people who are more focused on his age than his music?

[@mranreas]

this video was much bether than the other one!

[@toddevans1]

@macgyver1968 Well said!!!!

[@Deathyman]

Hm... It takes about 4-5 actually to get that good. You'd be surprised how good people can get when they're not dedicated. I have a great example here. My bassist can play eight note triplets at the speed of 230 BPM easily. *Going on the G string hitting frets 4-5-7 and then 7-5-4 after you've completed a measure* He's been playing for only 1 year (And mind you he is walking on the bass). He had two years of guitar experience before that. He can in fact play all but the most difficult PG solos.

[@Deathyman]

Thank for proving my point stated in my last comment. Instead of attacking my argument, you attack my skill as a player. If you can meet my challenge and show me music he's composed, then I will concede my argument. Until then, flaming will be loled at.

[@NMIC374]

a joe satriani metalish style with classic this he has mastered yup defininently next famous rocker

[@xchaosriddenyearsx]

Makes me "scarified" 0.0

[@nathanieljuanani6667]

Paul gilbert style.

[@Deathyman]

I was pointing to the fact Mozart composed music when he was eight years old.

[@ski5150]

holy shit....why should I even bother...hahah great job kid..keep it up!

[@Magic2312]

this kid is a freak, think how good he will be when he's 18.

[@tivla]

:O That is all.

[@Payasitta777]

whuaaaoooooo!! que talentooo... supero a mi novio :/ jaja

[@Mons8a]

now i know im not good at guitar u____u jajaja well man you are awesome :D

[@jakesimmons815]

i say this expecting to piss a lot of people off but i wish he poured his talent into something like jazz or classical rather than shred.

[@mandorcan]

eight years old dude..

[@alucard1083]

!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sssdfrfwrgr]

lol. Not just scared, but scarified.
