Crazy to see an 11 year old play with such confidence and taste. Sounds great!!!

@oystertoadfish1149 7 ай бұрын

61 years old. Just busted up my Ibanez GB10. It’s going to be very cold and I need the kindling. Seriously - at 11 years old, I have absolutely no doubt he practices and works his butt off. Still, Pat Metheny gets a little insulted when you call him a genius for that reason. PM picked up the guitar when he was 12, but there is definitely musical genius DNA involved with (him) Saxon. Musical composition is the next challenge. I think prodigies don’t like being called geniuses because it detracts from the hard work they have put in to their talent and they don’t have much control over the cosmic roll of the dice. I sincerely hope that Saxon Weiss stays in the genre. We need more young folks to carry the legacy of folks like Wes.

Pure talent. That was really soothing to listen to. Saxon is well ahead of his years.

That BIG L-5 is just so huge in young Saxon's hands. He's been blessed with long enough fingers to work that fat neck so good for him. Sounds just great!

What a talent! Wow!!! Thanks to the Norms crew for taking this kid under their wing and really showcasing his talent. Kids already better than I am! Cheers!

@johnglover4453 7 ай бұрын

The grand things the fellow at the end of the vid said about this phenomenal lil whippersnapper, though accurate, were STILL understated, the kid's THAT good!! Chops is one thing - and appears he's got 'em in droves, the kid - but, it's the feel & emotion captured while he's playing (that is well beyond that of the average 11 year old) that really shines through.

@davebertoletti 7 ай бұрын

I suppose the greatest thing about his playing is the feel he’s able to put into his performance. It may sound unimportant, but I think it’s a sign of artistic maturity and reaching it at 11 is quite remarkable. Young Saxon will certainly go places…

Wow! Goodness. I expected young sir to be a technical phenom, but the feel and clarity in his melody is what threw me off. So impressive to see him play a way that takes many people a lifetime to achieve such level and maturity in their playing. Well done young man!

I bought that L5 new from Musicians Friend. It Is a 2012, and one of the nicest L5's you will ever see. I recently sold it to Norm because I wasn't playing it much anymore. That guitar, everything sounded good when paying it. The wood is beautiful especially the flamed maple back and neck. I am so happy to hear Saxon make it come to life. I cared for that guitar for 11 years, and it is in terrific condition. If you can afford it, this guitar is world class, call Norman's Rare Guitars today !

The Wes L5CES is in my top 3 dream guitars, but I haven't gone after it bcs 1. I don't play nearly well enough to do it justice, and 2. I'd have a hard time making the stretches on that 25.5" neck - and I'm 6'4"! Saxon just blew BOTH of those arguments out of the water. My first thought: I'd chip in my share to get him that guitar. Maybe we start a GoFund me. Not sayin we should do it, but then again, not sayin we shouldn't.

You have quite a few hard jazz guitars beginners who deliver quite nicely but often they carry something a bit mecanic, as if there was still computer somewhere watching and correcting. But this young guy is so fluid and naturally concentrated on his playing, it's very pleasant and rare too.

Way to go Saxon. That kid is just so far ahead of the curve it is unbelievable. Like fingerstyle, fancy chords, arpeggios, melodic runs. Of course I am 53 years and he is just 11. Fingerstyle fills up space if you play alone a lot. Find it interesting that someone that young can be so musically mature.

I see a number of very young "prodigy" guitarists on KZfaq - but most of them are mimicking old rock and blues stuff. Which is okay, sometimes even impressive, but playing jazz guitar well at such a young age is a whole other animal - especially when one has an ear for tonal color and harmony. And you just don't get good at jazz without having a love for it, cause there's a lot to understand. Keep it up, son!
