That's very entertaining. I'd love to see/hear an unplugged version.

I need to get to bed, but now I'm watching other videos by him. There's one of him playing "Toxicity" when he was 15 years old that is unplugged. Very, impressive. I'd give a toe to be musically talented, but I've really glad that there are lots of other folks that are that I can appreciate.

Still watching videos of this kid. Another video that I'm watching is also 5 years old (15 years old) of him playing "Nicolo Paganini „Caprice No. 24” + El Colibri - Sagreras"

I keep expecting Steve Vai to throw a guitar to the ground in the background of the video and walk off shaking his head. (movie reference for those of you that don't know, "Crossroads" movie with Ralph Macchio becoming a blues guitarist under the tutelage of a blues master and battling the devil's player)

Beethoven's Fifth - wow.
