[@loriv.8986]

This kid is bringing me to tears! The pure joy from being on that stage and rocking that guitar as if you've been playing for decades. God Bless!

[@WhiteManXRP]

Same here, I'm crying my eyes out of enjoyment, just wow

[@lynnesmith4777]

Wow

[@tammygraham294]

He wasn't nervous at all. He was great. They gave him a great experience

[@santoy1000]

He was brill but is obv rigged an a set up cmon 😂😂

[@annavonstraussenburg7946]

Wow! You just know that the kid spent countless hours practicing to be that good. He is also super talented.

[@robertnelson2784]

Since he was 5 maybe 😅

[@jeffross5375]

If he spent countless hours practicing wouldn't it be considered skill, not talent? Talent indicates that he has a natural ability, while skill would indicate he's spent time developing said ability.

[@mrshawaiianheart]

All talent can be honed by practicing

[@diannewhitehead6254]

Thanks!

[@JakeKidguitarist]

Thanks so much Dianne

[@AwarthangaChiruOfficial]

Slash must be so happy to see this. Giving a huge smile and a huge opportunity to the kid is the best thing the band did. This kid will remember this day day for the rest of his life 👍

[@lizmalsam7528]

I was just about to say “do I see a young Slash in the making?” I think so! Well done, young man! Well done!

[@Roger-lt9fe]

Yep 👍 when he's 80 years old hel tell this story ☺️👊☝️#!!!

[@StonePettit-t4t]

This kid is gonna be a star one day. His shot will be heard around the world.

[@MarkMcCullough-y5s]

Slash would have loved to be there.

[@wehocommunitywatch]

Not only did he play well for his age, but he also has decent timing. He has definitely dedicated himself to music. Smart kid, and awesome band for giving home a chance

[@CALAMITY0FHYRULE]

Decent. I'd guess that the speed was due to him being nervous

[@dottiebaker6623]

Love it when kids get up on stage and totally amaze people with their talent. Well done, Jake!

[@milizastankovic2489]

Pure talent!!! Magical playing, well done. 🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸 Someone sign this young man up....

[@ownnquillen1607]

This is the best thing I've seen all week. Restores a little bit of my faith in humanity.

[@neilyoung2406]

Props to Jake! Takes bravery and a whole lot of heart to get up and rock the crowd. Cheers to the band for the support. Great video

[@shirleegraff-allen8787]

I just got the chills. This is a perfect example of 'loving your neighbor as yourself.' Well done Sir.

[@Pico_Farad]

Unbelievable talent. I watched it at least ten times and I'm still getting goosebumps.

[@lou196t]

That child will remember this for the rest of his life. He will tell this story over and over again. Thanks to this wonderful band to let him up on this huge stage and play with accomplished musicians 🫶🤘🎸

[@delgado2010]

Nah... He's not going to be telling anyone about this story. He's gonna show them the video!

[@FlyingCircusAct]

The whole thing was planned prior. The “spare guitar” belonged to the kid, watch his previous videos.

[@Papadoc1000]

@@FlyingCircusAct It's possible but it doesn't take a thing away from the band that shared the stage or that he did what he did.

[@Papadoc1000]

@@FlyingCircusAct You're that guy who annoys everyone in the movie by constantly saying, "Nah, that wouldn't happen in real life." 😆

[@FlyingCircusAct]

@@Papadoc1000 Muahahaha, nah. Just see things as they are. This was a ploy to get this young fella some well deserved attention, it simply wasn’t as spontaneous as portrayed.

[@30anvz28]

I absolutely love when bands let someone on stage and they absolutely show up and show out!! Well done.

[@jamesstegenga383]

Keep it up kid. Can’t wait to see you play that guitar like Jimi and the piano like Jerry Lee. We need a whole new generation of REAL MUSICIANS!

[@daveratledge]

Thank you so much for letting him on stage with you. You're not only professionals but good hearted. Love to you and yours.

[@francesmcgovern5049]

Wow!!!! What a terrific performance! Not only can this kid play, but his stage presence is amazing...totally awesome ❤❤❤

[@glenniekiwi]

I was thinking the same thing, kids a natural....walked forward to front of stage instinctively for solo and back when it was over.....naturally amazing talent.

[@Terra_Divina]

Wow! This young man must have exceptional parents supporting him that way. This is his calling, what a gift!!! Let’s hear more of you, Jake!

[@GypsiiSOUL]

I agree the parents support goes a loooong way

[@vviv7230]

The 10 year old Jake plays like an experienced adult. That was brilliant of you to let Jake on stage to play with you. You have a beautiful warm kind heart man, all praises of you.

[@athuls4495]

That kid's performance is amazing. At 10yrs old he became a rock star in front of a crowd.

[@vinodmkoshy]

That kid was simply amazing. No words can express the boldness in letting the kid take in one if the legendary song. And he absolutely nailed it. Hats off to Jake and also the band members for giving him that moment the he will never forget
