  1. I give him a A+! Either that song is really easy to play or that kid is pretty talented. He may not could sing the words but at least he was carying a long with the melody. You can tell he is trying to make the funny faces like Maraz but definetly not singing like him. Devin

  2. Im going with a "B+" If the kid could learn the words of the song, he would have a music career. Thats pretty talented for a young one like that, he has the skills to be able to achieve big things with an instrument.

  3. Well the kid has soul,but he may not be able to even speak any language at this point. He is trying to pick the guitar to the rhythm of the song. I would give him a B, but he could possibly ramp up to an A, if he could make himself clear. although maybe we all learn language this way. It begins when we are a child and try to make sounds that we hear around us. I've had experiences listening to music in which I don't understand the lyrics,but my heart can understand the feeling or a feeling from the music. JRJ

  5. I would give this child an A because it was played very well, the child did not know the words but he did know how to play the song. I was very surprised when I say that this very young child was playing it so well, so for his age I thing it was great.

    hmm. To begin with, the kid does have a familiarity with the melody, however pitchy and off time; also, the chord progression is strong, with inclusion of bridge and closing high notes.
    45 casseroles out of a perfect 90 casseroles...
    +5 (he did include the faces, too)
    50 casseroles.

  7. That kid nailed it. He made funny faces but they were more authentic (and awesome) and not to mention he already knows how to translate music from guitar to ukulele! I'm gonna have to give him an A for this one since most kids his age probably couldn't come close to those skillz (and yes, that's skillz, not skills!)

  8. I give him 'A+' although vocal performance wise it was not there I would say that he is of a young age and probably doesn't have the extensive vocabulary to sing the lyrics his musical talent was way passed the average of talent his age. CG
