Luís Kalil: "If"

ESP player Luís Kalil is one of the youngest people to ever have received an endorsement from our company; this prodigious young man become part of the ESP family at age 13. Still just 16 years old, he shows a degree of guitar playing and songwriting mastery far beyond his years. Here is "If", a song from Luís's album Sunset Daredevil , which you can find on on iTunes and Bandcamp. Luís is using his LTD Deluxe M-1000 Ebony in Snow White finish for this cool performance video.

What do you think of Luís's playing? Were/are you as good as he is at age 16 (answer: probably not)? Let us know in the comments below.

He is good no doubt about that.

Definitely impressive technical proficiency from a player his age, or any age for that matter. I'd also be interested to know what model LTD EC the other guitarist was using, I'm a big EC fan.

It's like listening to Django Reinhardt, George Benson, Brad Paisley, Eddie Van Halen, or any of dozens of others who master pyrotechnic aspects of a set-in-stone genre with a death grip upon a mono tone, duplicitous chops, regurgitated scales, and turgid tempo ... over and over and over again, then yet again.  NOT bad, per se, simply predictable.
