Musical Genius on TED

[Tucky]

Damn this young kid is a genius at music - for anyone who plays guitar or just appreciates the six string then this will be well worth watching, especially when he pulls it all together in the last quarter...

Fuck he good. I wonder if he will join my band.

Sick.

It's cool seeing people push things creatively, like there are tons of kids who can shred like motherfuckers because they practice 10 hours a day everyday... it's totally different when you combine your chops with musicianship and authenticity.

Here's his website: Usman Riaz

Kid's damn good. Now he needs to learn how singing & songwriting rather than body percussion. It'll be interesting to see how he turns out. I'll give him a pass for being on TED

He just needs his own version of Robert Plant and the kid could save rock n roll
