My Son Oliver (12) takes his grade 4 guitar exam this Saturday.
He was practicing tonight and I stuck a couple of mics outside his room without him knowing, and this is the result.
edit: I haven't told him I have posted this yet :)

Way to go Olie!! :) Wish I could play like that at 12....hold on a minute, I wish I could play like that NOW! :( :-[ And Olie - 'bout time you taught your dad how to play too - he keeps putting up these clips & vids & tries to kid us, but we know he's miming, & we KNOW it's you really playing! ;) ;D

I didn't even start til I was 13. He sounds a lot like you... the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...
