it's inspiring, it actually makes me feel better that he picked up guitar in only four years, that just means that some my bad habits i've picked up playing are from shit like this and playing video games instead of practicing... guitar wasn't even an option for me until I turned 16 and could go out and get a job and buy one myself so I don't feel bad for sucking :P that's just the way I am lol
Kids that are humble like this young gentlemen inspire me, he played a lick when he was asked to and even took the consideration for the audience "Maybe thats all they wanted to hear". then was requested to play more and followed up with some more impressive playing. Great job
I really appreciate how you talked the young man up. Especially in front of him (and it's recorded), he'll always have a pick me up whenever he needs a boost. Well done sir! I solute you! Oh yeah, he is a very good guitarist as well!
This is so much more impressive than a bunch of noodling or mastering "Eruption". This kid appreciates the craft. Jaden- your playing will get you through anything. Always enjoy doing it, and play for yourself first and others second.
This kid has it going on! I wonder how much he appreciates the value and historical importance of that instrument. Lucky kiddo! I bet he has some really supportive adults in his life to encourage him to continue. I love seeing this kind of thing.
Throughout the comments, I've noticed alot of people saying they wish they could play like that. Play to your own style, feel and love what you do. Don't feel envious of people's abilities, but be inspired by them. There's always going to be someone out there who has amazing talent. Don't be put off by this, learn something new every day. Scales, theory a new song, but mostly enjoy your instrument, and try to achieve the best that you can be.
Sad, a lot of jealous people giving negative comments here, like you guys played this good at 12... Glad for Jaden and his parents! Thanks Norman for giving Jaden a stage and for sharing. This might be historical.
Young man has a humble demeanor and is talented. How low have we sunk as a civil society when we slam kid's doing what they like. You want him out selling drugs?
Jaden as an old guy who has played a guitar alot longer then you've been alive I think your amazing! Keep up the great work. It's wonderful to see that your keeping great guitar 🎸 music alive! Now start writing your own music!
He's actually good unlike most kids that people see playing and freak out over. People see a young kid who's ok and automatically deem him the next Hendrix when he's really just playing basic pentatonic licks. This isn't the case here. He's great
He has aparetnly spent the hours in practice to hone his skill. I have been teaching guitar for 8 years and it amazes me how so many act like a magic spell will make them a great player instead of practicing. I have had some remarkable students. I started with on student on bass and in 6 months she was playing Flea songs from RHCP. She spent a lot of time working on her playing and is much in line with this kid today. It's hard to find students that can understand the work load and how to achieve objectives. Unfortunately the norm is to make the lessons there practice time then they go home to there tv shows and games in a week I have to teach them the same stuff over again. But once in a while I get a student that is ready to do the work. it's all about the time you put into your craft. This kid has a lot of potential.
Agree with you, however, he may also have that special talent for music and can learn faster than most. Do we know if this amazing talent played 8 hours a day for 4 yrs? Maybe not?
I GUARANTEE this kid has put his time in...guitar playing has a lot to do with muscle memory...the only way to achieve this is thru time and hard work. Even the most talented musicians practice thousands of hours. It may come easier to some, but it's no shortcut.
Amazing how people say he's practice a lot, he has teachers, blah blah... when you're talented, you just simply need someone to guide you, the rest is up to the player. I've been teaching and I've seen kids that no matter how many times you tell them TEMPO they simply can't keep up, now, I taught a 12 year old girl like 8 years ago, for about 2 months, and suddenly she didn't need me anymore (parents), then I found out the girl was so good, the school funded her education in music and now she's playing big! It's amazing to find these people you helped, be so good at what they love and receive a hug and a THANK YOU, YOU INSPIRED ME! So cut the crap now guys! He's talented! PERIOD!
The Tiger Driver I do not have AIDS just to clear that up lol! ***** Nothing is stopping me besides myself to be honest. I work many hours, but that's not excuse. I learned the fundamentals of piano and guitar at a young age and I feel that has shaped the passion that I have for music. Would you suggest seeing an actual person for lessons or by going the video route?
Matthew Reis actual lessons are obviously a better option, but it will cost you. theres lots of free resources online that can teach you as well, but imo it's better to have an actual person by your side to help you and criticize you.
Hey, I don't know if you've started up yet but I do suggest going to someone that can teach you. I know that sometimes many of the small-time local music stores have some pretty good teachers, as they would have a passion for music to open up a store themselves. But a good place to go to online is justinguitar.com. Hes a great teacher and goes in-depth with his lessons and also helps teach songs as well
As long as he doesn't start actually believing all the adults who are currently slathering him with superlatives... he'll have a future in the music biz. Truth is there are literally millions of "Jadens" coming up who are every bit as talented. Stay humble Mr. Lehman and keep learning/playing - that's my advice.
I agree Norm! Theres so many young guitar players thats just about all the "tricks" on the guitar and playing fast (even though music is not an olympic event). This kid CAN PLAY! He's got the right feel, tone and he does it so smooth and naturally. No doubt he's going to be great! Wish you the best Jaden... keep your focus on that guitar! :)
I see and hear nothing to dislike here. Hands down awesome to anyone who play something from a legendary guitarist such as stevie ray. Great chops kid!
GU Gamming I'm also fifteen and it sucks starting now because I know a lot of kids who can play and when they ask me if I play it's painful telling them I'm shit at guitar.
My lord! He started out with some greatt chops but that jazz number sounded beautiful. Poor kid looks nervous, but he shouldn't. Its an amazing thing to see someone play like that, especially at that age. Past me would have been really jealous, but this is the most inspirational stuff I've seen lately
He Looks Like A Young Bob Dylan. He Looks Like He'll Become A Great Musician In The Future. He Has Less To Talk About Yet A Lot Of Great Talent To Show. Thumbs Up For This Kiddo!
lol talent isn't given to you out of nowhere you have to earn it, this kid worked hard and earned it. there are no amazing guitarists that haven't practiced for hours and hours every day. yes some people have a natural feel for it, but they still can't get to where they are without hours of time put into it, its just like anything else.
This youngster is fantastic! He has an incredible future ahead of him. I began playing and learning at 8 years old. My advice to him is "Follow your heart and soul. Dont listen to the negative jerk offs who will try to knock you down. They say negative BS because they're envious of your amazing talent" thank you Norm for lifting up this young man. You're both an inspiration to those of us who see beyond the veil of others envy. Kurtiss (Citizen Joe)
People that disliked this must be music haterz to dis such famous and talented players just havin' fun, what the hell is with that? Awesome store for putting together these gems, thank you so very much, quite fun! I started to learn guitar just over a year ago after 40+ years of conga playing which has kinda wrecked my hands; the git gives me some relief and flexibility, and watching these fine players is awesome, and the best part is that whom ever video'd these clips didn't shy away from showing the fingerings etc., wonderful!
I’m in week six on guitar, but I’ve been a musician all my life. Jaden is so relaxed, which is what I’m aiming for. When I first started, I had a death grip on the neck, and Jaden demonstrates a light touch is enough. He’s from Florida, but he hasn’t murdered anyone yet, so purely on guitar 🎸 so far so good.
I came in expecting the typical 12 year old shredder with a few basic scales mixed in there, but was completely surprised. This kid is playing jazz, blues, and rock at once!
Very impressive. Can’t help but smile at stuff like this. Rather than be Angry at the kid , be angry at yourself for not working as hard and he did when you were his age. Jaden has a very interesting life ahead of him .. and I’m sure he doesn’t know it.
Why so many haters why so many dislike this little guy is awesome no Distortion No Effects may be a little bit of Reverb knows how to use a tremolo bar 1 million thumbs up keep up the good work
The8-BitNerd there's a lot you can do on your own.. The best advice I can give you is to not go too heavy on the theory. Most classical music schools won't let you touch an instrument until you know your scales perfectly, can read music, etc etc. To be honest.. that's not really the best way to teach.. Pick up your guitar or bass, learn the basics, learn where your notes are on your fretboard and just jam with music on the internet. Sure, a good teacher will help you to flourish and come out of your shell as a musician, but why not take little steps first? Try and go to jams or play with friends and fellow beginners. Also, when playing with better musicians, don't feel intimidated. See it as a kind of jam masterclass, you can only get better and they generally don't mind that you're a beginner. You really learn and grow a lot when playing with better or more experienced musicians. So get playing!
just keep jammin find a comfortable guitar n it will come plus you can find out how to play alot of stuff here on you tube i never took lessons either just got a guitar went at it i was 14 too n now im 46 have fun with it too
The8-BitNerd Sometimes all you need is UA-cam, that's how I started off until I could take free lessons. I'm 18, I started when I was 14, and I won an acoustic battle of the bands twice now.
What’s so cool about the kid was that he seemed to be so nervous whenever he had to talk to Norm or answer questions but when he was asked to “play some more” all that nervousness would wash away into guitar bliss
I think that kid plays guitar every day for at least 4/5 hours per day. I play guitar and unfortunately I don't have that much time, I would really really like to play guitar for an entire day.
A young human brain learns easier than an older one so if you are young and dedicated, the world is your oyster. He makes that Strat sound sooooo good. Keep playing young man.
I remember having a strat exactly like that one, but that's about the ONLY thing I remember, never heard it played so beautifully, so simply yet smooth...like others have commented, this young man seems to "know" innately how to play, what sounds good, how to move through progressions, and is so humble, not flashy, great finger work, strength and transitions, without effort...hope you grow up to produce the music you can feel and know in your heart, and not be corrupted by the industry into producing just what the masses want to hear. It is time for fresh new previously unheard melodies to come out of this kind of prodigy! Thank you Norman for showing this gem to the world!
Im 15, ive been playing for almost as long, and i only just recently started learning how important tone is. I wish i had somebody to teach me like this kid probably did, that wouldve made it significantly easier XD.
Ain't nothing wrong video games, even kids can get burned out playing the instrument for hours at a time. You can make careers out of both. Different strokes for different folks.
this kid knows how to play an instrument tuned before his time. Please let this kid play as much guitar as he wishes!! Talent like that doesn't need science or anything.
I'm 11 and this kid is an inspiration with me. I'm 11 months in on guitar and he seems to know a lot about theory. As of this video he's now 15, I hope he still plays guitar. Legend
It's so wonderful to see our young kids getting not only guitar and instruments but playing them and making and creating good wholesome music and not a lot of the garbage that's out nowadays that turns our kids in the violence I started playing guitar when I was just four years old I saw a couple of great players performing on The Midnight Special and I was hooked ever since and thank you to Norm Harris for allowing him to showcases Talent to his parents for keeping him into positive things
Cet enfant est absolument incroyable Incredible. Et il n'a que douze ans! And he is only twelve! Il joue sans médiator. Il a une grande technique. Et il joue dans différents styles. Sa performance "jazzistique" est tout-à-fait étonnante! Very good musician! Alain. From France. And guitarist too.
ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE! no hese gust a kid that take weekly lessons, I live for playing the guitar, I play it every other second, then a kid like this is called the new eric claptong for playing OHH FANCY FINGER PICKING.
Certainly, my mistake; have you ever heard about players such as Hendrix, Slash or Stevie-Ray Vaughan 'burn' as much as this boy on a guitar at the age of 12?
Incredible for a kid that age. Some folks are just born with the gift! And great to see folks use their gift!
He had the gift of parents who 'pushed' him into music. I wish i had lessons and training at such a young age.
"So, Jaden, how long have you played for?"
"Since I was a kid."
😀🤣
I fell for your profile picture
3/4s of my life.

Don’t you think it’s weird that all prodigies don’t have any emotion in their face when they play
Here Here
You can tell this kid is humble I like it
Lions, very true, not cocky at all! Good Kid
But on the other hand you can see that he is not feeling comfortable with the situation. I feel a bit sorry for him :/
CamRebires thats just part of being a kid. Clearly he loves the guitar and im sure he thought it was cool being compared to joe bonamassa
Ross H Your probably right, but there sure as hell are different examples :)
CamRebires true
i knew i was gonna want to curl up in the corner and cry when i clicked on this vid

Pick up your guitar or bass, learn the basics, learn where your notes are on your fretboard and just jam with music on the internet. Sure, a good teacher will help you to flourish and come out of your shell as a musician, but why not take little steps first? Try and go to jams or play with friends and fellow beginners. Also, when playing with better musicians, don't feel intimidated. See it as a kind of jam masterclass, you can only get better and they generally don't mind that you're a beginner. You really learn and grow a lot when playing with better or more experienced musicians. So get playing!
just keep jammin find a comfortable guitar n it will come plus you can find out how to play alot of stuff here on you tube i never took lessons either just got a guitar went at it i was 14 too n now im 46 have fun with it too
Jimi Hendrix never had a teacher.
lession dosnt matter connect ur soul to the guitar n never quiet to play n work hard ..
The8-BitNerd Sometimes all you need is UA-cam, that's how I started off until I could take free lessons. I'm 18, I started when I was 14, and I won an acoustic battle of the bands twice now.
"Better" is subjective. He's unique and loaded with talent. Good luck, kid.
What’s so cool about the kid was that he seemed to be so nervous whenever he had to talk to Norm or answer questions but when he was asked to “play some more” all that nervousness would wash away into guitar bliss
when he started playing, I immediately thought of John Frusciante
Saskah same
I think that kid plays guitar every day for at least 4/5 hours per day. I play guitar and unfortunately I don't have that much time, I would really really like to play guitar for an entire day.
I would love to be able to play music with some friends for an entire day.
I doubt it...children this age can learn foreign languages much faster than we can as adults. Young minds learn much faster than we do.
redbeard2001 i learned at that age too, and let me tell, i only stopped to go to school, eat and sleep
Gabriele Solaroli you just have to learn the right things
I do that
A young human brain learns easier than an older one so if you are young and dedicated, the world is your oyster. He makes that Strat sound sooooo good. Keep playing young man.
Little fella's been down to that crossroads at midnight
lol
This kids souls is from 1964. love him
I remember having a strat exactly like that one, but that's about the ONLY thing I remember, never heard it played so beautifully, so simply yet smooth...like others have commented, this young man seems to "know" innately how to play, what sounds good, how to move through progressions, and is so humble, not flashy, great finger work, strength and transitions, without effort...hope you grow up to produce the music you can feel and know in your heart, and not be corrupted by the industry into producing just what the masses want to hear. It is time for fresh new previously unheard melodies to come out of this kind of prodigy! Thank you Norman for showing this gem to the world!
Im 15, ive been playing for almost as long, and i only just recently started learning how important tone is. I wish i had somebody to teach me like this kid probably did, that wouldve made it significantly easier XD.
God dammit. there goes my confidence on guitar. this kid is dope
Man that kid has soul. Crazy for such a young kid to have such an amazing gift!! Awesome.
holy shit, the kids just keep getting better younger each year.
Can he play smoke on the water though?
German Lehmann the easiest song to play on guitar
Jay Williams but... can he play it?
Jay Williams That's the joke man
There's always that one guy with absolutely no sense of humor!
German Lehmann who cares
I wonder if he’s got a brother too, they can start a duo group called The Lehman Brothers and call their first album, ‘we’re back’
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 first song Trading Places
I can only imagine how he plays when nobodys around
Feels bad when you've been playin for 7 years and you don't sound half as good
.
Ain't nothing wrong video games, even kids can get burned out playing the instrument for hours at a time. You can make careers out of both. Different strokes for different folks.
There's nothing good about playing 12 straight hours like I did... Health first, friend, no matter if you're young and your body can take the beat.
Ten 10 It's not about how many years you've been playing. It's about how much time through the years you've had the instrument in your hands playing.
Playing for 10minutes a week for 7 years does not make you a "playin for 7years"- guitar player.
Dig that Jaden not only plays blues but also has jazz riffs in his repertoire. Young talent! 👍👍
Well, I am gonna pile up my guitars in the yard and burn them. I suck! Hahaha
Mike Hunt I'll take em of ur hands for ya 😜
omg once he has the strength in his hands built up in a couple years up he'll be the GOAT
Love it when you spot lite these younger kids that drop in and play thank you so much
this kid knows how to play an instrument tuned before his time. Please let this kid play as much guitar as he wishes!! Talent like that doesn't need science or anything.
Okay, I'm ready to put my head into the microwave
Matheus if I we you id want to : (
Matheus I'm gonna shove my head into my wall
this boy really have balls.
this boy really have balls.
this boy really have balls.
I'm 11 and this kid is an inspiration with me. I'm 11 months in on guitar and he seems to know a lot about theory. As of this video he's now 15, I hope he still plays guitar. Legend
ye nice bro well am happy how you’ve improved since ur now 13 keep going at it bro
And hows it going now?
And hows it going now?
12 years old!? This guy doesnt play normal pentatonic boring stuff, he is really good
And using his fingers , that's some beautiful playing.
It's so wonderful to see our young kids getting not only guitar and instruments but playing them and making and creating good wholesome music and not a lot of the garbage that's out nowadays that turns our kids in the violence I started playing guitar when I was just four years old I saw a couple of great players performing on The Midnight Special and I was hooked ever since and thank you to Norm Harris for allowing him to showcases Talent to his parents for keeping him into positive things
SRV influence is awesome to see... and hear.
PreserveBigCats amen
h
caeron
lil dude was shy, i wanted to hear him jam
Cet enfant est absolument incroyable
Incredible.
Et il n'a que douze ans!
And he is only twelve!
Il joue sans médiator.
Il a une grande technique.
Et il joue dans différents styles.
Sa performance "jazzistique" est tout-à-fait étonnante!
Very good musician!
Alain.
From France.
And guitarist too.
50yrs later that guitar found its rightful owner
It was funny when the old guy went to shake and he just stared at his hand. Lol
Maybe that says it all.................................................
He has played for many lifetimes before and was lucky to find it again.
He's better than most 60 something guitarists I know.
ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE! no hese gust a kid that take weekly lessons, I live for playing the guitar, I play it every other second, then a kid like this is called the new eric claptong for playing OHH FANCY FINGER PICKING.
Did you ever hear about players like hendrix slash or STV burn as much as this kid on a guitar at the age of 12?
Thomas Northfield Can you retype that with proper english grammar?
Certainly, my mistake; have you ever heard about players such as Hendrix, Slash or Stevie-Ray Vaughan 'burn' as much as this boy on a guitar at the age of 12?
Thomas Northfield ...No? Because they're famous artists having produced quite a few recognizable works. This kid is only 12.
