Found you after seeing your Sweet Child O Mine cover from 4 years ago. As a mom of a 15 year old aspiring musician I have to tell you how talented you are - great voice and excellent guitar skills.

Same here, a very nice suprise and sharing his music on FB like crazy :)

Great rendition of that song....you are very gifted. One piece of advice though, If I may......NEVER QUIT PLAYING AND CHASE THAT DREAM, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES, HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES.....JUST NEVER GIVE UP! Because if you do...... I PROMISE YOU, you'll regret it the rest of your life!!!

Do not stop! I got some serious chills with this cover!!

I came across your Sweet Child of Mine cover...out friggin' standing by the way and what a crowd!! But I want to add, I am so incredibly impressed by your talents. I was a young musician myself years ago doing the same as you and eventually landed in a band that opened for some pretty big headliners. Don't stop doing what you're doing. You have been blessed so beautifully. Your voice is angelic and you and so smooth on the guitar. I'd love to hear your cover some blues and see what you can do on a dobro or banjo with that finger pickin'.❤

Your choice of songs is legit! Love it!!!

Just saw the video of the 12 year old garage band. EXCELLENT on lead guitar man. Just 12 and you made it look so easy. You are a natural! I'd like to see you make it big one day!! I'll be checking out your most current material for sure. 👍 What are you doing these days. Love your voice too!!!

This is lovely! The mood and tone of your voice are a great contrast to the lyrics. I almost did not recognize the song. What a fabulous cover of a really great song! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to more.

One of my favorite songs … and you did an amazing job bro … keep doing your thing

I'm gonna find you on FB haha! I remember the G and R cover you did in a garage years ago. Of course I'm a bass player and I only watched to hear the bass player first. Cause Sweet child of Mine is what I auditioned with when I joined a Central Kentucky super group called "Winnin' Rome". I got the job playing Sweet Child of Mine. It's just one of those songs I love hearing cover bands do. But of course couldn't hear the bass to well, so I went to the lead guitarist. Then I said Holy Crap this dude is gonna be great in couple years. "If he keeps at it" and here it is like 5 years later. And you freaking kill it! That a hard song from Springsteen! You done great!

Wow, I'm totally floored by your talent!! It takes a great musician to be able to rearrange these songs like you do, and you seriously make these songs your own. Not only with reconstruction of the songs but with the soul & emotion you put into them. Can't wait to see what's in store next!!

c west We are not still together. We broke up about 6 months after the SCOM video. The singer didn’t like classic rock. Everyone just had their different priorities. I went on and have been performing live since then. I am current in a Van Halen tribute (see videos) and also performing solo. I live in Atlanta now. Those kids all live in New Orleans. To my knowledge, the drummer and rhythm guitar still perform in different projects around town.

There are videos here on my channel that show over the years. I played with Slash’s bassist at 13, and then there’s some stuff in New Orleans at 13. I started with the Van Halen tribute at 14.
