He destroyed all dreams of that guy in the back.

Kid is CLEEAAAAAN. That tone he has doesn't cover anything up and he's still precise.

This russian guy is just unbeatable! Anton RULES! Антоха-ты СУПЕР!

Я уверен, что из той сотни "недалёких", что поставили "дизлайк" этому видео, ни один даже близко не сделает того, что "творит" Антон Опарин!!

Perfect execution of Paganini and two very difficult Bach pieces. UNBELIEVABLE. This guy must practice 8 hours a day. Shred die? Shred has been around for at least 300 years. It will never die.

I just found out about Anton. Probably the best single note rock soloist in the world.

Never encountered anything like this before even a huge fan of DT and prog for 30 years, blown away

Kid is beyond gifted

I'm gonna practice for hours on end every day so that I'm as good as this kid when I'm 14. Oh wait I'm 17.

I can hear every note from him. He is good, period.

I watch such videos because they give me that KICK to start practicing, whenever i am feeling lazy. This kid rocks!

Антоха, гордость наша!

If this kid was in the movie Crossroads, he would have seriously fucked up Vai, for real.

Thank God for giving us young talents like these :-)

This happens when youre able to play 8 hours a day with a metronome. Respect Anton!!!

He was good back then. Now he is insane. Absolutely the best alternate picker in the world right now.

Самый крутой парень, которого я когда либо видел. Просто СУПЕР!!!

Absolutely amazing. People like this aren't born too often. Hopefully there won't be anything that stops him from doing what he obviously loves.

apart from being technical this kid has something that I haven't seen in other musical prodigies his age. while most of those kids look like robots, his demeanor when playing is that of a seasoned pro.

love how a lot of people are feeling jealous of his talent!And just because you can't play like him doesn't mean he is bad actually you are BAD!

the guy in the background is like "man, i dont even want to play now..."

Dude..... the kid is 12 years old! How can you expect more of a 12yr old musician than this? Personally I think your ego got hurt when you saw the video, and you had to put him down to feel better about yourself. That's the only reason I can think of why ANYONE would EVER talk shit about the performance of a CHILD, no matter how good or bad it is. I can't wait to see this kid at the peak of his potential. VERY good work! :)

This kid has true soul because it's obvious to me that he really loves his guitar and the sounds he can make with it. If you're putting all your time into being able to play like this it tells me that you really love doing it, just because it's fast doesn't mean that there's no soul there, he just loves the sound of his guitar and the sound that he produces with it, so gtfo you soul-less people trying to tell me he has no soul.

amazing, he has such a great stage presence aswell for his age. amazing skills

Да, не часто у меня возникает мысль "виртуоз", обычно "задрот". Парень реально виртуоз, я прям чувствую индивидуальность и все так естественно. Ну реально Валерий Гаина был прав, парень - стоящий. Надеюсь будет развиваться в том же ключе.

OMFG, I have been playing the guitar more or less every day for about 3 years, and I can only dream of ever reaching Anton's skill level. This is simply amazing! My god what a human mind can accomplish @ the peak of its learning potential! My hat goes of 2 you Anton!

SUCH KILLER INTERPRETATION OF BACH AND PAGANINI!!! 🤯🤯🤯

this kid is awesome and has a bright future as performer and skilled guitarrist, good for him, CONGRATS ANTON!

Ladies and Gentlemen! We found the one and only, biggest inspiration on TwoSetViolin! LING LING

playing main stage at NAMM yeah, definitely AND playing at the main stage flawlessly, fluently, awesomely, and, with a mass amount of presence.

.....super clean......that's insane

Who's the 4 drop-outs that gave a thumbs down? Anton you just blew everybody away!!!! AND WHAT A CUTIE TOO....LOOK AT THAT SMILE!!!!!

2020 Anton Oparin plays "amazing some" )))

I just came across Anton's video at 11 years old and clicked on this one. It's so hard to understand how talent can be so great at this age. The beginning sounds like Paganini's 16th caprice, I tried learning the 1st 4 bars years ago and couldn't get it down or near the speed. I'm just amazed.

paganini FTW, his compositions to this day provide fodder for aspiring guitarists to prove their chops

DAMN clean as hell. Great job.

I cant believe my eyes. And he is doing it live (x10 harder vs sofa-shredding)

This kid is amazing!! It's hard to believe my eyes, he's such an inspiration!!

The guy on guitar at the back.. ' Shit what am I doin here??..lol..

He is insane, what skill so young

This was so uncomfortable to watch, I mean, he is so f*cking perfect, and the guy in the back, he was like "I don't want to ever see a guitar in my f*cking Life"

What cracked me up was the look on the other guitar player... kind of like he was thinking, "I'm about to bust loose with an E chord! Amazing all around. Most guys spend their whole life trying to get 1/4 this good. Hats off to Anton.

amen!

Anton don't listen to the haters. You are pure talent! Genius stuff, man. you should play in the states and get a contract!

These are classical pieces written for violin... it's a solo, but none of it is mindless wanking. There are thousands of solo performance pieces in the classical world, and he just so happened to arrange several well recognized pieces for electric guitar. It's when art meets pure technique and flawless performance. It was very well executed in my opinion. I, for one, greatly enjoyed it.

FANTASTIC!

GEZUS! That kid is so freaking damn awesome!! He does that i think everyday. His face says: Men common i do this everyday. I'm awesome and you're not!

jesus, at first i didn't pick up the sarcasm and i honestly had a mini heart attack. but then i saw the comment you were responding to. i hate when people talk down the complexity of shred simply because they don't actually realise whats happening.

Браво Антон !

Thanks!

Я прослушал сотни треков, от Слэша, ГнР, Металлики и Мегадэза до Обитуэри и Сикс Фит Андэр, но этот парень реально как-то свежо звучит и не кажется мне копией кого-то) Какой к черту Гилберт (тут в коментах сравнивают) Браво!

I wish him the best.

Где с тех пор Антон выступает?!! На каких концертах?! Кроме ютуба.. ничего не известно..

this kid was born to play guitar..

Чувак играющий так на сцене, имеет полное право позволить себе всё! Красоваться имеет полное право! "Красавчик"

you really need to listen a few times. just stunning what's in there.

16 каприз, прям как в оригинале) круто, захотелось выучить его

the only thing missing is an attitude and a real nice band.

Anton Oparin is by far one of the best up and coming musicians of our time. Will he forever become remembered as one of the best guitar players or will our dumbed down society just overlook it? I guess we will see

it is a new era of guitar greats to come

Im a big fan of yngwie malmsteen in singapore..omg!!!..this kid amazing.......im really impressed...

AWESOME!

"Anybody can play this" I'm waiting for you to upload a video where you play this flawlessly. You probably couldn't get it done in 10 years haha.

Tallan Nobel Latz, move over... We have Anton Oparin. It's amazing to see how many amazing young guitarists there are nowadays.

Уважуха! молодец!

Incredible

can someone tell me how to fix my youtube? It keeps playing all this kids videos in fast-forward :/

Fantastic Awesomeness

остальные музыканты стоят с лицами...А нафиг мы то тут?

Amazing!!!

Чувак КРУТ! Бедный басист никак не дождется когда начнется песня))

damn,i hope this kid comes out with an album,because i will be the first on line to buy it.

Caprice No. 16? :) Paganini is a boss.

A simple Oh my GOD! This is freaking awsome.

Came from steve T

Super music!

Он тоже заключил договор с дьяволом? / He also made a contract with the devil?

His fingers don't stop moving. Incredible.

geez, his classical stuff completely smokes his rock licks. man, he sounded almost average with the band behind him. But the classical stuff was amazing, I'll give him that!

that kid is beast.

I will play this piece and then follow up with Trilogy Suite op. 5 by Yngwie Malmsteen for a recital one day.

Очень достойно! Достойно большой сцены) Вдохновляет.

здорово звучит! Не шаблон! Свежак!

I couldn't agree more Neutro, This kid's one in a million and I can't wait to see what's next.

the new paul gilbert

Desde chiquito ya era un maestro, Anton Oparin, uno de los mejores guitarristas de esta generación y probablemente de la que viene.

Sad Stevie T

That was obscenely clean

ничего не имею против Антона, но (например) Дж.Харрисон или Эрик Клептон так не умели, что им никак не помешало войти в историю. Поэтому не парьтесь по этому поводу, молодежь :)

this little guy inspires me to play more and more guitar! even knowing i won't be able to play like he plays lol

people aren't clapping because they know he's just one of those Japanese robots. That's why the other guitarist doesn't have a look of either "I will kill you after the show" or "holy crap!"

greeeeeeeat performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anton now gives skype lessons and shares all his secrets of his practice! Aaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Gilbert!! You should get one!! facebook.com/antonoparinlessons

TLDR I’ll preface this necro-post by saying that this kid is better at 14 than I am at 56 and way better than I’ll ever be. I am saying this in advance so that maybe my critique will not get flamed (though it probably will, oh well). The unfathomable virtuosity shown by this kid demonstrates two things gloriously: 1. Practice breaks all barriers eventually, except one: 2. Experience cannot be practiced. When playing by himself, it is beyond extraordinary, and beyond anything I’ll ever achieve. When playing with the band, his youth and inexperience pokes its head ever-so-slightly above the surface, which is not a criticism but merely an inevitability for almost anyone of any talent level at that age. It just goes to show that you should try to find others to play with as soon as you can, and play with them as often as you can. Also, it’s a good to try to make other bands members sound better AS PART of your practice. Listen to what THEY are doing and try to think of what you can play to enhance their part. Unbelievably awesome and inspiring stuff!

There must be 10 vids of him playing this same classical piece. I guess when you've played it 1000 times, you can do it in your sleep.

WOAH!!!

He ams almost as fastest than Skwisgaar!

It's like hearing Nicolo Paganini playing guitar! And he doesn't miss a single note.Give us a litlle of your talent !

а сейчас он даёт уроки и так же есть видео школа

Je suis super impressionné ! Cette démonstration technique néoclassique est géniale ! Je l'écoute régulièrement !
