So those of you that gave this performance a thumbs down are envious that a 12 year-old plays better guitar than you can.

[@Aramis_Production]

Wow... I've been playing guitar for oover 40 years, and I've seen and heard all type of players, some good, some bad. Never have I seen a young man with so much talent! Kudos to his parents for getting behind him to follow his dreams!!! I just watched his video with Steel Panther. My jaw dropped at the first 5 notes!!! I would love to hear him in about 10 years. It's refreshing to see someone so young with such passion, drive, and talent. Keep at it Aiden, your star will definately burn bright!!!

[@OS1K3LI]

literally all 11 year olds that play guitar can do this

[@lcatherineb3929]

He's in a band now, that steel panther was in 2013 I think but somewhere around there, his band is evandale and he has his own website aidanfishermusic.com, just trying to help, I know you wrote this a year ago, so you may already have this info, stay safe

[@stephenjohnson8196]

Damn, kid, you made this retired old Navy Chief proud! Keep shreddin!!!

[@HAHA-kk2xy]

Thank you!:)

[@lcatherineb3929]

Thank you!!! What you did for our country is amazing and I respect you so much for the sacrifices you had to make, I'm sorry my dad was in Vietnam, he died 7 years ago, so I always get emotional when I know someone served or still serves I always thank you guys/gals when I see you, I always wondered if it bothers them, but I feel I have to do it, alot of my family is serving or did, so again thank you honestly I mean it, there not just words to me, stay safe.

[@Thunderdad974]

Thank you so much for playing this for us. I was right up front to witness this. I got my first gig next Saturday playing this. Won't be as fancy as this, but you are an inspiration young man. Rock on kid.

[@team3383]

Most 12 years olds could programme this simple piece of music on their lap tops .... probably better. Its really not a difficult piece of music and its all down to the electric effects.

Dude I was there and all I can say is you rock! Glad 98.9 reached out to you and brought you back to KC. Hope you had fun at Rockfest.

[@dustinmullins467]

I give praise to you man I'm 15 and can't do what you do keep rocking and follow your dream Rock N' Roll bands should watch out for kids like this and should hire them on the spot Take care and have a good one

[@jkdurden]

I just saw where you said, "I was nervous". Reminded me of a story that my father told me when he first appeared on the Grand Old Opry back in the 1950's. As he was preparing to go on Country Music's most revered stage, he asked Roy Acuff, "Mr. Acuff, do you ever get rid of the butterflies in your stomach?" Mr Acuff relied, "Son, first time you don't have those will be the first time you mess up." :-). Keep shredding and more importantly, having fun. You sound great, inspire many and for the old metal fans like me, We look forward to seeing where you go in your career! Rock on!

[@lcatherineb3929]

Hi I know this is from 4yrs ago, he has a band now evandaleband.com and aidanfishermusic.com is his website, and I loved ur story thank you for sharing about ur dad and I totally agree once ur to cocky that's when it usually comes undone, stay safe

[@RanOutdoors]

I always wanted to play guitar when I was younger but couldn't afford one as I was dirt poor. When I came of age and finally got one I was so busy that I never put as much time into it as I wanted to. Things have been tight for a while and the guitar was one of the things that had to be sold. Seeing this young guy so proficient and awesome at it, really makes me wanna run to the pawn shop and make a purchase.

[@greengun8340]

Once again young man, good job. Nice rendition. Stay on the path.

[@keithcarman5381]

Aidan, you remind me of another guitarest I found about 7-8 yrs ago...His name is JACOB DERAPS he was real good about 7-8 yrs ago, Now He is one of the best guitarest's out there today! you can do that too! I have been in this business for over 35 yrs. you have all the right chops, just keep it up. you WILL get to where your going!

[@hankhosey8986]

I decided to pickup the guitar when I was 7 stopped for a year and went back to it after finding a prodigy like you .keep er Goin man!

[@elizabethgaspodnetich9676]

Damn!! It is soooooooo good to hear REAL ROCK MUSIC AGAIN!! You have an awesome gift, and thank you for sharing it with us!!!! My grand daughter thinks your pretty cute too by the way!

[@ajadowlen4685]

You're awesome! When I was your age, I was playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" on guitar. Keep at it! You're amazingly talented and good at what you do.

You are really a great player. I can't wait to see what you are doing in 10 years. BRAVO!

[@LorenzoSperduti]

You nailed it Aidan

[@LOLSushii]

I've seen so many people bomb the nation anthem ( for example look at slash playing it at baseball games and stuff. He ruined it- and seems like he can barely play it at times), but Aidan, you pulled it off PERFECTLY. You performed it technically perfect, But also with so much style and original flare. I LOVED how you used the wah also. Hats off to you man!

[@AidanFisher]

+LOLSushii Wow! Thank you! I really appreciate that! When I came up with this rendition, I was trying to stay respectful to the tradition of the song... but at the same time, make it rock... I was just trying to find that balance...

[@Fredmfk2005]

I've been following you for some time. and I have to say your showing way more confidence now. and your growing fast too kid. just remember one thing enjoy your childhood it's short.

an anthem can't be disgraced by the way it's played

[@rtff8404]

+Dante Dnt I TOTALLY DISAGREE with you. It can be disgraced either vocally or instrumently. I have seen it distroyed in person and on national TV at major sporting events (Baseball, Hockey). (It needs to be played the way it was originally written and not altered).

[@dantethompson325]

+rtff8404 your right but that means its been badly played I agree that he should of played the American national anthem normally without dive bombs and wah peddle but you know what I withdraw my statement he made it sound like shit as a British citizen I would hate if someone made god save the queen sound bad
