Incredible for a kid that age. Some folks are just born with the gift! And great to see folks use their gift!

[lmTheGod]

You can tell this kid is humble I like it

[sine-nomine]

"So, Jaden, how long have you played for?"
"Since I was a kid."

i knew i was gonna want to curl up in the corner and cry when i clicked on this vid

[TheFabioOrchedella]

that kid looks like he plays pokemon go every day

[timcalhoun]

Applause! Not only is this young man naturally talented, his humility, will take him wherever his heart desires! Thank you, Lil Man!

[QFour]

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!

5 days later of continuous playing "do a little more"

[DWaltzz]

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

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.

I'm literally twice his age and now I finally understand how I get fucking owned in COD by 12 year olds.

[TheSonicImpetus]

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.

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.

[henrysmith]

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.

[djlazypaul]

I just smashed my guitar into a thousand pieces! Thanks

[pamorale]

Not a sad day. It's a happy day when you realize a great guitar player will be blowing our minds in the future with his music.

[jamestoops]

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!

[tradeka]

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

[luisTHC]

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!
