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

You're not supposed to watch it for hours and hours!

If you add up all the others just like him from the past, the minutes you've
listened add up quickly to hours.

Then, there's this guy:

Check his schedule. Go see him. Amazing.

And, of course......

He, Jeff Beck, is probably a great guitar player, but he does nothing for
me.

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.

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.

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!!
