Found this on an another forum, thought I'd post the post and the vid here..a young fella playin some good guitar.

For those of you who dont know who he is, he won Australia's got talent a few years ago...
and IMO he's the only person to ever come out of a reality tv program that is actually TALENTED...!

I went and saw him here on the Gold Coast last year, and was blown away by just how good he really is...!
the kid was 17 or 18 at the time...

So i went and saw him again here on Fri nite...

fast forward a year or so, in which time he's been touring the world and moved to nashville, well you can
imagine the impact that would have on your playing let alone that of a prodigy....!

all i can say is that this kid is unbelievable and if you get the opportunity fork out the $25 admission
and go and see him... i've seen a lot of the top guitarists in the world from vai, satch, petrucci, eric johnson,
to guys like joe bonamassa, kenny wayne shepherd, adrian bellew... etc etc etc... and this kid at 19 could
hold his own in any of their company...

i have to add that his band were shit hot too... here's a vid of a new song he did, with the bands he's touring right now...!
enjoy!!!

Lol. ive never seen him before. He's got some good chops. He won a talent show?


I listened to the bass player mostly. His playing was strong and musical- i enjoyed his playing more than the guitar.

He's channeling Tommy Emanuel there.
Theres another guy about the same age as him who i saw a few years ago. A really great acoustic player.
He was touring with Tommy Emanuel. I'll try and find his name.
