Hopefully, he will eventually learn how to play music. This kind of
technical gimmickry quickly grows boring.

You have to first have the technical skills down if you are ever going
to be an excellent guitar player. Hell, my first teacher didn't care
much about your picking hand. My second teacher cared a LOT about it,
and my playing skills went up considerably.


There are skills, and there's gimmickry. Not the same thing.

And this boy definately has skill. Try it! I've been playing a long
time, practice a lot, have an excellent teacher that I use from time to
time, and I damned sure can't play like he can, and neither can most
people!!

Even Hendrix got tired of the pyrotechnics. According to Eric Burdon, he'd
vanish into little night clubs to jam with blues players, and wished he
could stop playing so much of the "standard" stuff that made him famous.

Sure, nothing beats jamming. but you still need technical skills as I
stated above. Like the example, many guitar teachers say get the left
hand working, the right will follow. I can attest there is a better
way. Most musicians who've made it big yearn for the good times spent
in clubs.

I guess I see it differently. You come up with ideas, and then you "learn
into" those ideas.
