I'm sure some of you already heard this but I was still quite blown away buy this story of a 5 year old who is playing at his parents pub after 12 months learning to play guitar through Rocksmith.

Kids.. my 12-year-old can learn a riff in about five seconds. Literally. Takes me hours. Sheesh.

Yea... well... I have a better TV than the one in frame. That's got to be worth something, right?

 

 

Right?

Bet I could beat him up.

That's awesome. My boy won't even look at a guitar. :-(

pretty amazing, but on another note, does somebody know what he's playing? I feel like it's on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't get it

Bet I could beat him up.

 

Really? lol

 

Bet I could beat him up.

 

Really? lol

 

 

Yeah, I think I could take him.

 

It's all I have left.

I'm only 3 1/2 and could easily beat him on guitar*** (I have kicked his ass at conkers too). I've been playing since I was 3..

 

***I should say that some (or all) of this might be lies...

and no, It is a real link.

 

(I remember testing a while ago, and getting an answer in the twenties.)

Cool, looks like I can take a whole kindergarten class full of guitar prodigies. 

wow i wish i had an interest in guitar that young, i hope he keeps it up. it'd be cool to see schools using rocksmith for guitar lessons.

I wish I had that motivation for school.

I'm wondering the same thing. Damn that sounds familiar! Somebody???

Someone'll name it, then we'll all be like "why the hell didn't I get that"?

I knew I knew it.

Well lately my 3yr old son has expressed a burning interest in guitar, I already bought him a Uke but he has figured out its a different instrument and he has tried to hold my guitar a few times. I think Santa might have to work something out..

Maybe you can bridge the gap with an electric ukulele?

I wish I had kids tbh. When I was a kid neither of my parents played anything and my Mum is tone deaf lol.

 

My brother has 2, a boy and a girl but he doesn't play the guitar.

 

If I had kids I'd be teaching them to play...

 

...does anyone here want to have my children..?  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :P

I don't want to be rude, but why I should be impressed? Nobody would spent time on this if he wouldn't be 5 years old. Well, at least I wouldn't :P
