Can you imagine him at 16?

This kid is no joke on guitar. And if I hear anyone even try to criticize the kid, your music audiophile license will be revoked. He is 12 years old already playing ZZ Top,Jimi,Woody Guthrie,Elmore James (Christ) and even SRV.What were YOU playing at 12?

Jeff Healey jr..

Did I mention he is just as impressive as he is on keyboards as guitar?

Here he is playing a Professor Longhair tune:

He is going to take you to New Orleans for a lil bit.

lol

I can't even play like that with sight.
Still rough around the edges. I would be scared if he wasn't.

Damn, that kid's got talent.

It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Let's pray Clive Davis,Mottola or Doug Morris etc doesn't meet him and lure him to crapville..

lol

They would absolutely drive him into a mental institution or worse.
There is no in the majors who would cultivate him. Maybe Healey could invite him to play at his club in Canada,eh?

Prince should jam with Healey.at his club... it's overdue. Healey won't be able to get to the 3121 club without assistance. Because you know wink

The crackdown of foreigners now in a post 9/11 world.

I only got a chance to watch "Voodoo Chile". thumbs up!

The boy is a badass. I'd love to hear him 10 years from. I'll have to check his other stuff out some other time. It always break my heart when someone is blind. I guess he's making up for it big time with musical talent.
