For those that are no familiar with it, Guitar Hero is a very popular video game where you may display your gaming talent through the music played. Songs are played on the screen and shown as different colored notes. The player must play the corresponding colored frets on the guitar at the correct timing with the song.
This sounds simple enough, and it definitely begins that way, since this video game has a number of difficulty levels from a beginning “hero” to an ultimate expert.
This extremely entertaining video below presents a 9 year old kid (so they claim) that simply shreds on this game at the expert level. I am not sure he would be able to do so on a real guitar, but he definitely has talent.
Even before watching the video, by the title of this post, I had a feeling that the kid was going to be playing “Through the Fire and Flames”, my favorite DragonForce song. That is such a fast song, and that would be a tough one to play on a real guitar or a video game, which makes this very impressive that a 9 year old can do it. Very awesome!

Hi oMd and Cameron, thank you for your comments.
Isn’t this kid amazing? It is so entertaining to watch this kid in action…he makes it look so easy.
I also wonder how many hours, days, or months it took him to get this good.

Hey Shyguy good to see you.
I didn’t know what the name of the song or band were. I was too involved in watching this kid tear the song up on the game

I would, and then when he won, I’d beat the crap out of him.

what a loser he could have learned to real guitar with the amount of time it took him to get that good
