Pretty amazing.

Back in the day, when I used to play on the Jersey boardwalk I ran into a kid. He would hang with me and wanted to learn all the stuff I was doing. As the summer went by, he got better and we were sounding pretty good together. At the end of the summer, we had a party back at his boathouse. We're chillin, and I watch as he retunes his guitar and starts to play Bach and Mozart on it. I was floored. He was beyond amazing. I wanted to kick his ass. I asked him why he struggled with the crap I was playing and why the hell was he hanging with me at all, and not out making a fortune with his talent. He said that I was better than him and what I was doing looked like fun. I would have done anythng to have a tenth of his talent.

A little rough in places but it still gave me chills. In five more years this kid could be famous. God I love the guitar!

I believe he is 12 or 13, so in 5 years he will still be a kid! Remarkable.

I'm. Stunned.
Makes me want to run over to Chesbro's & get another D18 right after I drop the kids off at school.
Pachelbel's Canon's probably my all time favorite.
kenwas, what can I say...thanks, man.
God Bless this kid.

The first influence that came to mind was *Steve Vai* but as i continued watching, *Joe Satrianni* (<~~~feel free to bust me on that one Jafo) also could be a major influence of this "Musician"..

But you know who's style stuck out the most in the end...the way he used the fret board, a guitarist named Ingway Malmstien used to play a very similar style..

Very good no matter who the influences, he has a style all his own!!!

Thanks Kenwas..

Ingway Malmstien

I saw him live. He wasn't very good at all. Probably a bad day but it was real bad.

I saw him live. He wasn't very good at all. Probably a bad day but it was real bad.

Before or after his recovery from a near fatal car wreck?
He sucked at guitar after his recovery from that crash..too bad..he was one of the greats before then...

It was before his accident. He opened for Aerosmith. He really stunk. Everyone expected something better. Aerosmith was worse. The stadium emptied very fast after Aerosmith took the stage. I don't think Malmstien got many more gigs in the US after that. I lost interest anywyas and I will never go to see Aerosmith again. Even the funerals.
