I know I’m a bit late to the party but I need to make a comment . Finally , someone who innately knows how to interview child artists; talk WITH the artist , not just TO the child .... heaven knows , we all might even learn something . I fully concur with Nico’s above praise . Great interview , Pete .

His licks are great, full of feel and soul, his vibrato and bends are super good for his age. BUT what really blows my mind is the fact he uses his guitar pickup selection and volume like a veteran! Pete looked like he wanted to jam all day!

The Ellen Show recording (which was comment disabled for some reason) was great because he does a Sweet Child of Mine solo and I swear he intentionally reproduces Slash's timing mistakes. He's scary advanced!

Brilliant!!! So awesome to see the youngsters embracing the guitar. 9 year old kid playing Chuck Berry!!! I love it!!! I'm also fairly certain that this young man has perfect pitch, as well. Just listening to him play back the licks and how he has his vibrato already worked out. Amazing. Check out how he plays on his channel on "Tennessee Whiskey". It's jaw dropping.

Go back in your basement. Everytime someone brings someone else’s business up it makes me think you’re hiding something. Because it doesn’t bother anybody else with self esteem.
