Yes, beats it. Because 100% on expert for The Devil Went Down To Georgia? Game over.
I wonder if he can play actual guitar. Also, how good he would be if he played actual guitar. Hopefully mastering this game is just a stepping stone...
(via Reddit, which is where it says he's 13. Can't actually find mention of that on the YouTube page.)
He stretches his fingers pretty far away from the board, this doesn´t look like a really good guitar player´s technique. But on the other hand this may mean nothing because he´s really fast and maybe he just adjusted his fingerwork to the game (...I never played guitar hero myself so I don´t know, for example, how hard you have to press your fingers against the board,...)

Well, he could certainly become a really fast guitar player. But then again, that doesn't have much to do with being a GOOD guitar player. That takes more than technique, that takes art. :)
Great video though. If that's true, this kid is the best!

D´accord. But technique is required in order to be (what I meant with) a good guitar player.
God, what am I writing here!? *off to a pub*

Dammnit... I can barely finish GHIII on easy - that said, I'm a casual gamer and don't have the time to devote to perfecting the art of Guitar Hero!
