    I really envy this young man's journey into guitar. I was 67 before I bought my first guitar. I missed out on a life-time of pleasure!!

    No other school for him, He doesn't need to become a doctor, businessman or engineer. Just have him spend countless hours inside his room with only the guitar all day long .... Hope he gets a great flamenco teacher, cause God has given him a great talent. Cheers little man!!

    Absolutely wonderful to see and hear the raw talent of an eight-year old. His parents and grandparents must be proud of him. This reminds me of my grandson Malachi of who I am now convinced he was born with natural/ raw musical talent. I love this video - thank you for sharing.

    The tune he's playing is a modified version of "Herencia Latina" by Paco Pena, from Pena's music instruction book
    Toques Flamencos.

      Shreyansh Ransingh also he's probably using nylon strings since it's a flamenco guitar.

    • @jgrossma
      @jgrossma 7 років тому +6

      Not "probably". . .he *is* using nylon. With almost no exceptions all flamenco and classical guitar players do.
      As to fingers hurting, after you build up calluses, the fingertips don't hurt so much. Lots of practice builds up strength in left hand so barres don't hurt so much. Its easy for him, because he's clearly been playing and practicing a lot. Good for him.
      There is no real secret here except for one. You have to love playing to motivate you to do the work necessary to develop the skill. IE, if you don't love it you can't do it!

    He's not even half as good as he soon will be. He has the basics down great with good feel. Soon as he matures he will add the fire that comes from becoming a young man and then those strings are really gna sizzle. Keep up the good playing. Can't wait to see what you become.
