FP Edit: I never do this, but I just wanted to say this had zero downvotes all the way up to around 1k likes, just shows the true talent is in usersub and y’all downvoters are trash ass. Enjoy your weekend everyone :)

I've seen him a few times in Jackson, MS. Incredibly talented. "Purple Rain" cover is amazing. Plays again in Aug and cant wait to see him
AlpacaScreampilot
Guitar matches his shirt. Fender for life.
howla
This kid has a ton of soul and real talent.
Incognito39
I really need to get back to learning guitar
Striker1945
Holy hat batman. Thats beautiful...
WakeUpAndRealizeVanHalenSucks
Great! Now I can't blame my sausage fingers for being bad at guitar. This guy's a straight up ASSHOLE!! Guess I'll just kill myself.

Who fucking downvoted this?! Must have been a goof
SheDevilinaSnuggie
The same people focused on his weight? Kid's got some mad talent. Nothing takes away from that, but fuckdammit, some cunts gotta try.

"I come to imgur to laugh! NOT FUNNY! DOWNVOTE!" Probably that guy.

Reminds me more of Stevie Ray
cogitoro
Reminds me more of Clapton. BB King would go up and down the neck with his pointer. Clapton uses his fingers so evenly his hand seems still.
Dancingmonkey8888
Anybody else get caught in a staring contest with his shirt?
martinsc0
I was a bit creeped out by those eyes!!
Usiris23
Check the Tupac tag

He had a cameo in season 2 of Luke Cage.
DungBeetle36
Was going to say the same thing thank you
AliBarber
Yeah I remember that. He was fucking amazing in that
maximuminnovationstevejobs
Yeah. I didn't love the show much but they had some good musicians
impalacrush
He got the highlight of the second season just like rakim-kings paradise that season
OpinionsAreLikeAssholes
Oh, boy...thanks, OP! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Christone+%E2%80%9CKingfish%E2%80%9D+Ingram

His version of "Hey Joe" is amazing.

capitainechips
He's been working his exercises I can see...those are some typical patterns and gimmicks you play to warm up generally. No hate, he's smooth
Usiris23
Check out: Dont Let the Devil Ride by him on YouTube. He absolutely slays
capitainechips
Thanks lemme check
RicFIair
And his cover of Hey Joe
Deviltree
Yeah this kid is an absolute monster, I've seen him a few times live.

So wrong, yet so right.

This next one goes out to my Uncle Ben.

Kid got the shit, hell yeah :)
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
Dude's probably one of the best young guitarists nowadays.
Usiris23
I saw the thumbnail on YouTube and thought the same thing, but he’s very much a man.
Cavy
I think hes like 20yo, no?
Jvkristensen
Looks like an old dude but turned 18 January 19th 2017. Old soul tho
Usiris23
You’re right! Old man at heart let’s say ;)
IfOnlyICouldUseMyPowersForGood
Aw, is he sick or something? Eat something bad?
27yoUGLYvirgin
Evidently.
27yoUGLYvirgin
(cause you know, he's overweight)
KaNineteen
So talented. Plays it smooth.
mcmachack
Somebody found the Crossroads Demon and made a deal
rabiddolphin87
Kingfish for anyone wondering. He was also one of the artists featured in Luke Cage.
talldrink413
Like butter...lol
Og1i1PrettyThug
Like Ice ...... covered with butter ..... on a hot day
JasonForge
ikr, I could learn how to do this inside of a week, but to play it as smoothly as THAT? probably a month or more.
SamCookeisGod
he does an unreal version of I've put a spell on you. absolutely nasty
SilveringArt
Almost sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan
MarsVtron
He got that "I can't play country music" blues....
RedIronCrown
Talent is a bit of a myth. This kid spent a ton of time practicing.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It's not a myth. Talent is the natural part, skill is the part you have to practice to get. Just one or just the other will never be as /1
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
good as both together. /2
DoctorCoktopus
Talent is natural inclination towards a skill. Two people putting in massive effort will usually be great, but one will always be better.
gorgosaurusrex
So how do you know if this person is talented or skilled (or both)?
KbraBass
If they get to be virtuosos, it's definitely a lot of both.
DoctorCoktopus
Well that definitely takes at least skill. Talent is an educated guess unless you're in the field too, or watching the olympics I guess.
dubya8098
For all those people who say they can't play guitar because their hands are too small or too big.
DocWino
Never heard of brother Iz? Big man, little instrument. The man was a god.
TheLadySuccubus
I got over the hand size thing with my bass guitar, but my joints hate it due to my lupus ;_;
donnydingle
I only have one hand I and play well
AVoiceOfReason
All twelve of those people
MichaeIScott
It’s actually a fairly well known impediment
SincerelyHated
Eh honestly his hands look average size. The rest of him however....
thisiswhyicanthaveanythingnice
Fletcher from Pennywise is 6’5” and his hands are enormous. But then there’s these kids. https://youtu.be/pl6f_XwMhMM
oracle9999
I can't place my fingers down hard (or soft enough) to strum without shitty sounds coming out of it...
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Try an electric guitar. The strings are lighter and the action is lower (action is how close the strings are to the fretboard).
Untoast
I can't play guitar because I'm too lazy to put in the effort. :/
SomeColdGuy
I don’t play because I have no talent
dubya8098
Everyone has talent you have to work at it to find it.
RedIronCrown
You can overcome that with enough practice.
Nexus763
Django Reinhardt had only three working fingers at his left hand.
AvocadoMakesMyTongueItchButIEatItAnyway
What if your hands are too medium?
yourmoth1
My pinky is mutantly short... there are some chords that i will never hit
TheLurkIsReal
You can do it. Look up the idea of inversions and just voicings in general.
canto54
Tonny Iommi has a missing bit of finger and it helped create the heavy metal sound as we understand it.
Tehsyr
I've got pinkies that curve inward. It is literally impossible for me to stretch my index to my pinky to hit five frets on bass.
DrKenAdams
Jerry Garcia was missing a finger. The drummer from def leppard's only got one arm.
IMightBeStupid
Twist your wrist bruh
pandorafalters
It ain't the equipment; it's how you use it.
ilovedogsbutmineisanasshole
Whenever I hear the "hands too big" argument, I show them zakk wylde, conversation pretty much ends there
Nosspott
Just gotta have soul, man. Then the music plays itself.
ShaggySnatch7
What if you got no hands? TriGgErEd
keykilla
I can't play guitar because I've never invested time or effort into learning how to.
dubya8098
There's still time if you want it my friend.
PompatusOfLove
Was thinking the same. I have very long fingers and still have issues, especially on bass. This kid is legit. Meanwhile, I stick to drums.
glyphal
Stick to what? What do you stick to??? Did you die? What happened? Will we ever know???
StenYngve
Small hand dummer here, jealous of the technique you probably posess that I never will
PompatusOfLove
All about the rhythms! You got it!
MyBestFriendisaBobblehead26
If you got long ass fingers you'd be awesome at piano
TheLurkIsReal
If you're tall you'd be awesome at basketball.
MyBestFriendisaBobblehead26
Okay, smart-ass, I was just making a suggestion.
