[@tjrizzo4642]

As a bass player who has never played guitar before, cliffs of dover sounds fucking insane to learn, cant imagine how long hes practiced for

[@Incog2k6]

That's modern audiences for you. Playing instruments is no longer appreciated, all they care for is rapping dumb shit or hip-hop "dancing" (aka jumping around like buffoons). It's sad to know that humanity went from cheering for people like Paganini, Chopin, Hendrix or any Jazz musician to worshipping those talentless, glorified fashion models that make up modern "Top 40" charts. Our civilization has become stupid when it comes to music.

[@SeekTranscendence]

I’ve only played guitar for a year it’s not as difficult as you think when you try your hardest but I could not be able to that in front of my school at all

I can vouch. 19 yr old here who is around beings who cant seem to grasp what real music is and what it can do. That kid deserves better people watching his skill. Much respect to the lad and i envy it

[@shawnklingler4682]

None of them realize how hard this song is to play

The faces in the audience really tell me what that school must be like

[@Garf2O]

living hell

[@Real_Boye]

And the clapping at the end?! fuck off......

[@jandera21]

i'm not sure what you mean is that there barely amused by hes talent or that there's no black people?

[@CosmicWaltz7]

jandera21 Not even one black kid... I did see what might be a Hispanic girl, and one kid is kinda Asian looking, but yeah, this might be the least diverse school in the nation.

[@madih7374]

The smile at his face in the end though that literally made me feel so happy for him because I know how hard it is to hit all those notes- especially with a crowd

[@aydenburris8631]

When the entire school is clapping off beat but you still manage to play correctly over it

[@neoneherefrom5836]

Ayden Burris it wasn’t even off beat you moron.

[@ghost-cy7gz]

But can he play slow ride on easy with a plastic guitar

[@gavinschulz]

bad gaming 😏

[@ghost-cy7gz]

@grantgist well I got tired of saying "can he play through the fire and flames on expert" so now I say this I think its more funny

[@ghost-cy7gz]

@grantgist ?????

[@ghost-cy7gz]

@grantgist you too i guess

[@tylerwheeler1644]

To be honest, I cant play on easy cuz it's too slow lmao

[@dopemanricky7196]

I bet you no one in that entire school knows this song. Except maybe the janitor and a couple teachers that have been there since 1983

[@paganslayer8661]

Nah all the kids who played guitar hero know it

[@dopemanricky7196]

@@paganslayer8661 possibly but i feel like guitat hero was before these kids.

Dopemanricky It was, that is a scary reality about time, but guitar was “before” these kids.

Picks one of the most difficult songs to play smoothly...live...at 13. Hell ya! Nice job.

I'll bet 99% of the people at this school have no idea what he's playing

[@mikegonzales1832]

I bet most of his class mates have no idea how hard it is to play that or could careless..dam good job kid 👍👍

[@AP3NAT0R]

I know it’s old, but this kid deserves a big ass medal. People don’t know how much talent this kid has

[@brucechavez9535]

It's not talent kid ! It's all just long hours of practice and dedication, that's it. Anyone can play guitar if they would just commit to do it...:)

[@AP3NAT0R]

Bruce Chavez you have such a good way of looking at it!! Yeah I’ll restate that. This kid put in amazing hours of time!! More then what most people do.

[@EliteGaming-ls5jk]

[@legndery1909]

EliteGaming what’s s talent if you don’t practice it? You might be really good at understanding music theory or really good at understanding languages but if you don’t dedicate the time to actually master something you will never accomplish something more complex

[@jenniferbannister6972]

I am a child of the 80s and Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson is my absolute favorite guitar piece EVER!! I also taught music and recommended that my students listen to it at least once. Wonderful job young man!!

[@yogengrg7690]

It's sad to see that no one knows this song except the awesome kid playing it. smh.... They don't how much time it takes to play and write such songs. People like us real musicians can right 4/4 with 4 based chords with editing here and there all day with our eye closed. Easy work, easy money but one should know what and when to acknowledge one's hard work and true talent. Great work by this kid. I'm happy i'm not the only one in this generation who admires true talent.

[@joshd7438]

Just a quick FYI Eric wrote this song in 6 minutes or something lol

[@levabognar]

I don't think others realize how difficult this song is

[@Nathan_Left4DeadGuru]

This is the best cover I've seen, other people play it good but this is by far the cleanest and fasted distorted version I've ever heard this dude is one of the greatest guitarist out there. No one else I've heard has pulled off this song like this kid has
