As an old git, still struggling with guitar after about 2 years learning, I find it somewhat dispiriting to know that I shall never be as good as these infants!

Yes I see what you mean  To be honest, although these lads are definitely very talented and skilled, there is something a bit weird about a nine-year old boy playing the heck out of a banjo heavier and larger than he is! Impressive but bizarre. |

This has 4.1m views whereas gangnam style is now up to 1.4bn, is there no justice?
Although to be fair the young fella seems to having some problem with his tuning.

It's all the Coca Cola that they drink - makes them hyperactive - mind you he seemed more radioactive  More power to their elbow - keeps us old farts on our toes  |

Get a teenager whilst they still know everything Think I'll pass on that and be satisfied with the smugness of being part of the last generation to have free university education, long-term career prospects, trustworthy public services, proper pensions and retirement while still young and solvent eneough to enjoy it. Sometimes being an old git has its own rewards... |

It shows you have to be older and more mature to have "guitar face". Blimey, those lads are good. And the banjo player smiles!!!!
