The most proficient 11 year old guitar player in the history of ever!!!!!!! Whoever his guitar teacher is.... must be a spectacular teacher. Big thumbs up.
Forgetthe fact that he is just a kid, amazing for any age. I have practiced for more years then he has been alive and do not have the mastery of the pick that he displays. Hope to see him on the big stage someday.
He's got those limber, double-jointed fingers like Shawn Lane had. AND a very reminiscent left hand shape. 5 year old vid... wonder if he's homeless now. haha it's like all these promising kids you never hear about them later. Hope he's kicking out some amazing stuff because his physical ability is amazing.
Who taught him...that is the question? Because this is jaw droping skill for an adult, let alone a child. I don't even know how this is possible. He has a level of motor memory and effortless precision that would usually require at least 15 years of practice 5 + hours a day. There needs to be some kind of explanation to clarify how it is he got this bewilderingly good so young. It is an astonishing display of preternatural talent. He should have his brain scanned and be studied! I'd hazard a guess he was born with certain mental and physical attributes that were a recipe for guitar brilliance. He is literally a child genius.
apparently he learned himself with the help of his father. who is a gymnast and a gymnast teacher. the guy has taught the boy how to practice a physical skill correctly and how to do everything without any tension. which causes problems to everyone else, sometimes even without knowledge that some muscle is causing tension somewhere.
It's in RU, they do. If you watch the crowd, they're listening like it's a classical music concert, not a peep or movement out of them, precisely because they *do* recognise it and accord it the respect it deserves.
I'll wager my house on one thing: He didn't sit in a room with an album and a cheap guitar and learn that by ear. Time marches on and lessons, vids, tablature, money... just like how 75 years ago, there were no electric guitars. What blew my mind (if that wasn't finger synced) is how he plays this 6 note scale pattern while he's not even looking and he's giving you that grin like "yeah, I'm bad". ? Pretty amazing.
After hearing him talk, I wouldn't be surprised if you are wrong about the first part. He plays Paul Gilbert's Get out of my yard riff, THE HARD WAY. Not tapping it.
@@Harmonic14 Yea but there was a video of some asian dude playing it tapped with the three E strings Also, it's pretty legendary to see Anton play Get Out of My Yard on a six string (I'm trying to do it too. I am practicing)
I'm currently learning the song scarified.. ~_~ but after watching this kid, I feel like i wanna learn the other one too ! (let the computer decide) This kid is a monster !! Props to the bass player too! They both did an excellent job on the songs ! Paul would be proud!
@@joshk7286 Paul Gilbert mostly played finger exercises extremely fast. I wasn't until much, much later that he actually stopped trying to play ALL the notes in every song and started to get really good at making music. Most people you see playing covers of this are doing it in a studio and usually stopping the camera every time they screw up. This kid is playing this stuff live in front of an audience.
socialdef3 Do you acknowledge the fact that he's 11 years old here? And that he was doing a cover song(not an improv or an original that would fully allow him to demonstrate his originality and own unique "feel" for the guitar)? Geez, why don't you go watch some of his original stuff if you want to use that argument, you damn dip.
if you don't watch the video, and let it play, it's almost like listening to Paul play. my god. the only thing missing is the random "Yeah!" Paul does every now and again O.O
Hate to break it to you, he is Russian (which is a Euroasian continent), and since only a very small portion of Russia is considered European, and most is considered Asian, (including the capitol, which makes it Asian under all intensive purposes) this kid is more than likely defined as Asian. So effectively, China and Russia are from the same continent, which Europe is not a part of. Hate to be that guy, but... what can ya do? :/
The European part of Russia is an area of about 3.5 million km2 (20.66 % of the territory of Russia and about 35 % of the territory of the whole of Europe) and is 7.2 times larger than France, as well as much larger than any other European state. Good luck.
No doubt he's a genius. There are propably very few who can be so masterful at such age. But lets just hope it's not his peak(although this is enough to be great) and that he will expand his skills, knowledge, become more mature(start playing fusion, Morse, Shawn Lane, Becker stuff etc). As the saying goes - such people are interesting only when they are young, sadly. I hope that this is not his peak - he's worth more than this. Let's see what will become of him in his 20s. Best of luck to him.
when i saw the title (11 year old plays paul gilbert) i was like. YA RIGHT OK SURE. this is the most impressive 11 year old i've seen. literally, mouth open. eyes wide. i'm bowing man. you better be famous when your older or i'll be seriously dissapointed. wow i've never heard a more perfect cover in my life. if your vibrato wasn't slightly different than paul gilberts, i'd think it was fake
That's exactly right. And his pitch bends. The start time, finish time, and amount of pitch is perfect on every one, even where it's one of those long bends with multiple hold pitches. It's just incredible. So many youtube guitarists that have comment sections full of over-the-top praise fail (some miserably) at those things.
Man that was unbelievable........... God has given some amazing talent. You gotta real ear for the picking and right hand rhythm side of scarified...... very few ppl do that. AWESOME!
Didn't anybody notice that PG recorded the song and played it live using 7 string guitar where the bottom 4 strings are tuned in D. Anton somehow able to play it on standard tuned guitar. He sweep some part but string skip some others. Crazy talent!
WTF????????? omg I just can't believe... This really shows that when we limit ourselves.. we simply stay at the back.... GREAT WORK ANTON.. YOU ARE A GENIUS!
This kid is a guitar god at 11 your the man dude never stop playing hopefully ill have the privledge of seeing u live in a couple years i couldnt imagine ur skill then
This guy is just fucking insane! I hope he continues this dedication and become the next generation shread metal guitar players, cause it sounds to me that we are not replacing these talents!
his picking is insanely clean!
Noticed that too, his picking is just ridiculously accurate.
@adam b Yeah because he is so sick.
hello jason becker fan
considering his age, this is the most amazing display of human talent in the history of human talent
Mozart ☠️
@@Ndk367Lets say last 100 years or so
The bassist is also really good.
Bassist is Anton's big brother.
Антон в 11 лет играл круче, чем я буду в любом возрасте. =)
Да, брат, это загадка
Валентин! Немного усилий,терпения и тренировки! И через 150 лет появится результат. )))
интересно ,а он когда нибудь не умел играть на гитаре?))
да бред,играй в день хотя бы по 5 часов по построенной программе и будет еще лучше)

His teacher is Paul Gilbert
Anton, you just rocked the house! Where are you going now? "To watch Sesame Street". LOL - 11 y/o!

Вот свезло же мне поиграть в этот день на одной сцене с Антоном и его братом)) это конкурс гитаристов был в рок баре "Подвал"

Physical ability 😂😂🤘🤘
He's a beast now search Anton oparin on youtube
Camera mans thought process - " lets tape his face during the best parts"

Absolutely unbelievable. Virtuoso.
One in a million.
none of these kids in the crowd know how difficult this song really is! This kid is like a prodigy!
It's in RU, they do. If you watch the crowd, they're listening like it's a classical music concert, not a peep or movement out of them, precisely because they *do* recognise it and accord it the respect it deserves.
Not like all those other vids of young kids playing, this actually sounds amazing, great consistent playing
2:29 - 2:42 is frickin sick !!! This little dude has some serious chops that even people who have been playing their entire lives would envy !
this song gets harder and harder, and he just keeps doin better and better
I'll wager my house on one thing: He didn't sit in a room with an album and a cheap guitar and learn that by ear.

@@MAGAMAN it isn't tapped in the first place... lol just watch Paul play it. He's basically using a human capo
@@Harmonic14 Yea but there was a video of some asian dude playing it tapped with the three E strings
Also, it's pretty legendary to see Anton play Get Out of My Yard on a six string (I'm trying to do it too. I am practicing)
Gifted , unbelievably talented
I'm currently learning the song scarified.. ~_~
but after watching this kid, I feel like i wanna learn the other one too ! (let the computer decide)
This kid is a monster !!
Props to the bass player too!
They both did an excellent job on the songs ! Paul would be proud!
Utterly amazing. What a talent. He's destined for greatness.
Phenomenal bass work as well :O
Damn for all I know, this could be the Paul Gilbert 20 years down the line...
Holy shit! One of the best covers of this song I have ever seen. Little dude, You F'ing rock!
No kidding. I just finished watching a video of Paul playing scarified himself, and honestly, this kid's cover was the better of the two lol.
Is Paul Gilbert now "Scarified"?
Paul Gilbert was inventing these licks in his early mid teens, and by 17 was one of the most technically accomplished guitarists on the planet.
@@joshk7286 Paul Gilbert mostly played finger exercises extremely fast.

You have to check out racer x, or one of paul's clinic from 1986, he is so terrifying back in the 80's
Awesome!!! Cant wait till your 25 and kicking out your own shred songs!!! Wicked playing!!!
This makes guitarists want to put their guitars on ebay.
nope. it makes me appreciate emotion more, when you see music that is devoid of it.
socialdef3 bullshit
arcykaplanhehe no.

TheRealBubfield405 sounds more like you're butthurt about something, but I can't put a finger on it.
what talent.... i wish i could play this!
This makes me furious and now I'm going to practise
It's so refreshing to see a comment like this on such videos as opposed to "I'm going to throw away my guitar now :("
Nah it makes me passionate
His picking hand is so smooth, it just flows so well over the strings.
B-But how, HE ISN'T EVEN ASIAN
Camgrow red russia is in asia
Nick Salvatore but russian people aren't asian race lol
This kid Shreds Hefty!!! ROCK ON. Love it when he's shreddin the solo and not even looking. KRAZY
if you don't watch the video, and let it play, it's almost like listening to Paul play. my god. the only thing missing is the random "Yeah!" Paul does every now and again O.O
You are a VERY talented young man, stick with it and you will shine!
does anyone here wanna buy my guitar? this kid makes me cry
the future of instrumental rock music. yesss, you're the man.
Finally a European talented kid... Was so bored seeing only Chinese maniacs
Hate to break it to you, he is Russian (which is a Euroasian continent), and since only a very small portion of Russia is considered European, and most is considered Asian, (including the capitol, which makes it Asian under all intensive purposes) this kid is more than likely defined as Asian.

nigel barker
haha!!! Don't remember, America is an Arabian country or they are Indians or maybe part of Israel?
nigel barker but the kids from the European part of Russia
Even though the asian part of Russia is much bigger, european part is much more populated. 78% of Russian population lives in european part.
The European part of Russia is an area of about 3.5 million km2 (20.66 % of the territory of Russia and about 35 % of the territory of the whole of Europe) and is 7.2 times larger than France, as well as much larger than any other European state. Good luck.
Anton Oparin, thanks for your dedication, just to remind US all That everything is possible!
Вот тут всё совпало. И талант, и Божий поцелуй,и желание,и возможности. Пусть Бог ему помогает в творчестве и долгих и плодотворных лет жизни.
Какой нахуй поцелуй божий и талант? Это результат огромной работы. Это непоколебимый труд и желание. Тошнит от ваших богов и талантов.
First time in my life that im truely inspired to practice longer and harder... by an 11 year old. Anton, you rule man!
No doubt he's a genius. There are propably very few who can be so masterful at such age.

I have been playing for 8 years, and still have trouble with this song! Awesome video. This kid is a prodigy.
Что, простите? Он в 11 сыграл круче, чем я смогу за 11 лет тренировок
wow this kid is really really good. hes got the articulation and phrasing down too.. hes gunna be great some day
57 people have kids that can only sing beiber's songs
hahah now it's 87
Still 87, and I hope it stops there.
when i saw the title (11 year old plays paul gilbert) i was like. YA RIGHT OK SURE. this is the most impressive 11 year old i've seen. literally, mouth open. eyes wide. i'm bowing man. you better be famous when your older or i'll be seriously dissapointed. wow
i've never heard a more perfect cover in my life. if your vibrato wasn't slightly different than paul gilberts, i'd think it was fake
В 11 лет сам Пол так не сыграл бы. Браво!
The best young talent I ever saw!!!
Even his vibrato is very good, amazing really
That's exactly right. And his pitch bends. The start time, finish time, and amount of pitch is perfect on every one, even where it's one of those long bends with multiple hold pitches. It's just incredible. So many youtube guitarists that have comment sections full of over-the-top praise fail (some miserably) at those things.
The sound is so clean for playing such hard tracks ! ! !
This kid is amazing...! ! !
i feel so bad at guitar now, damnit, couldn't he miss a couple notes :(
Unbelievable, incredible.....Paul you are outstanding!!!
Антон, а у тебя вообще детство было??)) Это же скок нужно было заниматься чтоб так играть в 11 !!! лет! ?
Он уже в 8 нехило играл, скажу я тебе)
он просто всё время занимался тем, что любит. Музыкой. Проснулся, взял гитару в руки и заснул с ней же.
Man that was unbelievable........... God has given some amazing talent. You gotta real ear for the picking and right hand rhythm side of scarified...... very few ppl do that. AWESOME!
I came from SteveTerreberry
Me too
Same
Never thought I would see an 11 year old guitar virtuoso, congratz, you're absolutely awesome, cheers from brazil
He shits on the asians because actually plays with feeling and he doesn't play MESSY when he plays fast, respect earnt
Wow a true prodigy. He was definitely born to play. Congrats!!!! Paul Gilbert should see this
This never ceases to amaze me
If only the other 11 year olds were mature enough to understand how completely amazing this is.
Best Guitar-playing kid vid on TH-cam. Full Stop.
Surgically accurate, great feel for a kid, great tone.
11yo: Fucking amazing.
Absolutely amazing. What a talent.
This kid is amazing. I'm surprised this video isn't on the front page of TH-cam.
This is beast beyond all belief... I was just starting to play at that age, and about 4 years later (now), I've just finished learning this song.
Blessed by the gods, the great Anton Oparin!
Wow!! Amazingly done, sounded just like Paul!
Looking forward to seeing more vids!
Didn't anybody notice that PG recorded the song and played it live using 7 string guitar where the bottom 4 strings are tuned in D. Anton somehow able to play it on standard tuned guitar. He sweep some part but string skip some others. Crazy talent!
Oh, I love the look of his left hand when he's running the fretboard! So smooth :)
glad to see that the young one's can recognize awesomeness when they hear it.
So clean. So very, very clean.
WTF????????? omg I just can't believe... This really shows that when we limit ourselves.. we simply stay at the back.... GREAT WORK ANTON.. YOU ARE A GENIUS!
Awesome playing... Good feel in music
This kid is a guitar god at 11 your the man dude never stop playing hopefully ill have the privledge of seeing u live in a couple years i couldnt imagine ur skill then

Keep rocking on Kid! you're an inspiration... this is mind blowing!

Way to go....hope he releases instrumentals when he matures
Most Excellent job Anton! Keep on Rockin' :)
