    Absolutely amazing. You can see this kid has a lot of passion for music. He can feel the music as he plays it. He plays it with all his soul as it’s required for a song like this. Thats why it works in the classical sense. Because this song transcends musical barriers as any good song does, even if it’s written for a specific genre. If it’s beautiful, and it has a spirit, then it becomes just a melody synonymous with your subconscious that can be constantly replicated in different fashions. All that’s required next is that you follow through with carrying the emotional weight that the melody produces, and you represent it correctly. Which definitely this kid does in the video. Almost brought tears to my eyes watching someone give it their all and having it sound so beautiful. It makes me very emotional whenever I watch and listen to live music where the playing is powerful the music is amazing.

    Nirvana had the same ability as the Beatles to write songs that sounded so simple on the surface but when translated to classical or other styles, you can hear so much more of the value of the songwriting

      Thanks! The audio wasn't the greatest because this was just recorded live from just the built-in microphone on a camcorder. I re-recorded me playing it in my studio with better audio quality and will post that soon. You can subscribe to my channel, and hit the bell to get a notification when I make it available.
