Child Prodigies

Its awesome to see some of these young children of today learning to play musical instruments and actually liking it. Some of them have allot of natural talent and pick it up very quickly. In saying that anyone can learn a musical instrument with a bit of dedication, commitment and of course practice.

I don't agree with some parents that basically force their children into it learning an instrument though. The child should want to learn it because they like it and its fun! Here's just a few of the many that are on the tube......

This young fella is bobbla amazing! he made it into the Guinness book of world records at the age of 4 yrs old for being the worlds youngest professional drummer. OMFG! :shock:

Here he is at age 3....

This adorable young lass Zoe, loves playing the guitar....



This is the clip that she won the competition with. I cant get over how little she is. She is
playing an Ibanez Gio Mikro, which is 3/4 size! She only looks about 3 or 4 years old in this
clip, but here she is at age 6 yrs old playing over Linkin Park's New Divide. Sooooo cute! :)

Here she is at age 7 playing All Of You by The Crave. Its her first time with this song
in front of the camera, so of course she'll be nervous and make a few mistakes but hey,
she does very well for one so young anyway.

Age 7, Sweet Child O Mine ( hasn't nailed the last solo part yet but still does well )

[video=youtube;X4Kjtp4sA9E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4Kjtp4sA9E&feature=player_profilepage[/video]

Here she is at age 8 yrs old Jamming Muse's Knights of Cydonia with her older brother
( he obviously needs to work on this song lol ) She now plays a full size Ibanez Prestige.

This young fella is very good for his age and is in a band with Zoe and other 8 to 10
year olds called the Mini Band http://theminiband.com/

Jules Hendrix :p
Zoe playing knights of Cydonia...Win! :lol: :lol: :lol:
That Harry Jackson kid playing Kashmir on stage , how good is that.

5 Y.O. girl playing fulsom prison blues , it's all about the attitude lass, I think old Johnni would be a proud man watching that effort.
And last but not least that 3 Y.O. kid on the drum set looked like he was having a ball.

Great post IB :)

Hmm, how does that saying go.....

"No mater how good you are at something, there's always some some Asian kid that can do it better"

Or something like that, :)

Surprised Ozzy can even keep himself vertical let alone know what pitch is. Wish I could star craft a guitar like those kiddies, if only for my own amusement :D

This 16 year old girl plays with maturity and control beyond her years.

Beautiful Ballard, sweet tone. She certainly does that Fender Strat justice.
