Thank you so much! All of what you said is completely true. For almost 8 years now, I’ve locked myself up in my room practicing until I nail what I try to practice. Which does sound depressing now that I think about it, but I was willing to choose passion over friendship. I knew if I fully dedicated myself to music, I knew that it would affect my social skills, making friends and even keeping friends. After all of this amazing support, I don’t regret any second of it!
@@arturogarduñoguitar I think it's awesome that you have such amazing drive and passion for music. However I think you should also keep maintaining relationships as a priority. Please don't take this as me hating on you, or telling you to give up your dreams because that's genuinely not what I'm saying. I think you're a beast at guitar and you should never underestimate your talent. Just don't let it keep you from socializing and creating memories/relationships with people. I promise there's room for both. All that said this performance was killer and I think you're extremely talented. Never stop doing what you love!
Yes. Let that be a lesson. “Impressive” riffs WILL impress guitarists. Catchy Riffs will captivate the masses and make you money. I heard it for the first time not long ago… Imagine the 12th fret and above.. That’s the high register area. Now imagine everything from the nut to the 7th fret…that’s the CASH register.
I absolutely love how NO ONE clapped, or said a WHOO or NOTHING when you were doing Big Sur Moon with beautiful scaling, arpeggios from hell and delay work…. But screamed at crazy train 😂😂😂🤦 Edit: you absolutely KILLED it! Don’t ever give up playing guitar, I wish I could meet up with you and we could make some music happen!
Thank you so much! Yeah my mindset was to play the simple popular stuff that would help secure the win. But I knew I’d have to step it up to make it go big so I played Big Sur Moon first.
Because nobody gives a rats ass about "arpeggios from hell" and "delay work", only music theory geeks...geek out over that stuff. People just want to hear something they can bob their head and dance/sing along to, it's not rocket science but for some reason people want to make it that
Eddie Van Halen was the last of the original Guitar Heroes. He's probably looking down at you with a big grin on his face. But he's also probably thinking, "C'mon young fella ... take it to the next level". Stay true to his legacy, take what he gave us and use it as inspiration to create something new. We all stand on the shoulders of the giants that came before us so that we can see a little further than they could. Best Wishes to you from the Land Down Under :)
@@val13c59 I said "ORIGINAL" Guitar Heroes. There are dozens of guitar greats even to this day. Guys who followed EVH, like Satriani and Vai are incredible musicians. But they like most guitar greats are more evolutionary rather than revolutionary imho.
Every guitar master "up above" is looking down and saying "damn, son, play it hard & let the devil take the hindmost!!!!".😃 YOU DIDN'T JUST KILL IT ~ YOU SLAUGHTERED IT!!!!
1:40 : (Girls in the audience start to go crazy, screaming, whooping and he got mobbed after his performance) Arturo: "Being such a shredmaster takes up a lot of my time ladies so form an orderly queue" 😄 Stellar performance Arturo keep practising those different styles you'll be a better musician for it and you're already well on your way. You obviously have a lot of discipline and dedication to your craft and in the words of ACDC for those about to rock, I salute you!
He’s got the pedal and everything this man was a born legend, im just starting to learn and from all the knowledge I’ve gathered he’s got some skills ft
Really good. Wow. When I was in high school anyone who could play a hamfisted, pentatonic impro was considered a god. I see the bar has since been raised.
Dude this was killer! I’ve been playing for 25 years now, and started when I was a freshman in high school, where I fronted a metal band, so I KNOW that doing what you just did, and ALONE no less, was so freaking gutsy and takes a lot of heart and calm to not let your adrenaline run away with you. You’re a great player as far as technical ability, but I absolutely LOVE your energy during the performance! You’re soooo hyped up during it, and the way that you’re pacing at the end is tooootally something I can relate to! Nice work man, this was a lot of fun to watch. **Sorry for my superfluous usage of exclamations. . . .I have a slight addiction to hyperbole LoLLL**
Thank you for the awesome response! I’m on my 8th year of playing but this was my very first live performance. I got so focused on my playing that I almost forgot there was 50+ people in the audience! Im very relieved (and surprised) that I didn’t screw up at all.
True! The feelings of failure in front of friends is WAY worse than complete strangers at a bar setting, etc. You have to actually see these people the next day! Lol
I was blown away in so many ways... fantastic talent you have there... but the fact that high school aged kids actually knew these songs gives me hope that good music will once again return to our culture! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face today! Eddie Van Halen is looking down smiling at you for that killer ending!
Brother. You are one of the best in the world. Remember that and play like it's your last day on earth and you smash it and get to the top and change yours and family's lives brother. Your fantastic dude. Natural. Not one bad note.
I can tell from the head stock that your guitar is in fact a Schecter guitar. But that is beside the point. The point is you are f-ing great. You also interact with your audience and that is one of the best thing that any musician can have. I love your eruption so much man. Rock is out \m/.
Keep up the hard work!! If you choose, This can take you amazing places! I'm about fifty years ahead of you, and I KNOW I don't need to preach about the obvious things, but consider yourself preached! All the BEST!
It's actually quite difficult to throw a bunch of riffs together into one fluid piece of music but show off every style you kick major ass playing in only a few minutes. Thousands upon thousands of hours and some people play their entire lives and not get near this good at everything.,
And they say the new generations don’t appreciate rock. You are a shining beacon of hope, good rock music will continue to thrive in future generations. Amazing vid man, I hope I can play as well as you one day. 🤘😎
Gave this a like before even finished the video that delay got me from the first few notes Fucking epic 🤘🙏🎸 god bless all of the guitar players that don’t know how to not live there gift and put all they have into it A lot of us play guitar but few truly play with all of there heart
And to think you taught yourself how to play is amazing. Keep up the great work! Don't keep your talent just in Stow...there's a big world out there just waiting for you!
Legitimately incredible. I don't have the words to describe how impressive that was. Not just the playing, but the confidence, especially for a high schooler. Holy shit

Shhhhhh.... To the crowd trying to keep up. Your riffs are great. Can you play an entire song, with a live band?
@@ikarooz Yeah probably. I practice with a metronome and backing tracks a lot. I’d love to preform with an actual band but with all the COVID stuff I haven’t been able to.

People are going all nuts over tequila but the first delay part was 1000 times more impressive and advanced

Because most people are fucking stupid and generic meaning they can’t appreciate the difficulty of something
Big sur moon!
Buckethead!
Yes. Let that be a lesson.

Or he made a trip down to the crossroads.
I worked to get where I was at. No crossroads needed for hard work. 😉
I feel like we'll see this kid again in an even bigger spotlight one day. Bad ass!! Good job!!
Thanks! We’ll see!
The clinical perfection on Big sur moon was GODLY
Starts With Buckethead Big Sur Moon ! Blows me away! Great Job Raturo !
You don't see/hear a lot of Buckethead covers. Great to see a young person playing his music
@@franksergiovanni1981 no body can play them thats why lol

That big sur moon was astounding, its sad to see that no one knew it but then again Buckethead is basically unknown to most people.
I like how you put Buckethead in there with the rest of the G.O.A.T.s, he is mos def one of them!
He's no where NEAR bucketheads level🤣🤣🤣
@@jethrokeys1438 He didn't say that disphit.

Amazing
You can tell the first section was his favorite part of the performance to play. My favorite to listen to.
Big Sur Moon was surreal! Ty for starting it off with the most goated track on the list 🥰🌙
Holy shit, that Big Sur Moon cover was fantastic! Great job!
Thank you!
The Edge called, he wants his delay pedal back LOL....great job!
Man you were AMAZING! I wish I was actually there to see you play!
Ab-So-Lute-Ly freakin' phenomenal.... *Bows down before a master shredder*....
Dude killed big Sur moon, Buckethead would be proud 🤘
This extremely talented young man was raised right!! Great taste in jams.
That’s Because his generation of music has no guitar solos. I’m being facetious, but it’s kinda true.
He’s got the pedal and everything this man was a born legend, im just starting to learn and from all the knowledge I’ve gathered he’s got some skills ft
Someone needs to sign this kid, he is on his way to being one of the best! Congratulations
Portage lakes here ...you rip !!! Thanks .
Thanks for watching!
……And now here’s Timmy on his flute playing “Mary Had a Little Lamb.”
That's exactly what I was thinking...if I had to follow him I would have run for the hills!😁
By far one of the funniest comments on this video.
Talent always seem to find an audience. Clearly this guy is going to be a professional musician and this should be his audition tape.
this was the song that made me a Buckethead fan
Great player vh buckethead classic tunes lots of styles and playing in only a few minutes
Thank you!
Really good. Wow. When I was in high school anyone who could play a hamfisted, pentatonic impro was considered a god. I see the bar has since been raised.
Yeah the bar has been raised much higher. So much so that people consider this performance basic or even boring.
your opening part was creative and the best you nailed that beginning man. yoru awesome

the delay part is gold

Impressive finger work on the fret board during his cover of Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption". Practice makes perfect! Nice job.
Wow the big Sur moon IS AWESOME!!!! Respect:)
He is the chosen one
that eruption tone was on point good stuff
I like seeing younger people do stuff like this!!! It's awesome.
So I accidentally stumbled on your video and I'm glad I did. Great job! Keep on rockin.
Great show! Loved the Big Sur Moon cover.
There are so many bad talent show eruption covers. This is not one of them. Excellent playing and tone. Wow.
Thank you so much! That actually means a lot!
What can I say...but...well done...very well done...don't stop playing...
That was awesome. Brings me back to my HS days. My buddies did Rush covers. Such great memories.
I’m glad it brought back memories! I literally started my freshman year in the year COVID became a thing. So I’ll have some memories myself.
That was awesome🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘
Nice job, that was fun to watch. Thanks and keep up the good work..
