Sydney said...: No way a baby that age uses his fingersblike that.; 6/10/11, 10:35 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: "Baby plays guitar."

Althouse.. quit distracting me from following the Weiner scandal ;)

Shame on you for not feeding us more Weiner morsels.; 6/10/11, 10:40 PM
kent said...: That kid has Townshend DNA in him. ;); 6/10/11, 10:41 PM
Carol_Herman said...: Awesome. And, not only that, the baby wanted to play the guitar! Stayed on the couch ... where he was able to watch on a big screen TV ... finger placement. And, wild jazz lights.

This is the way kids learn! First, they focus. Just an amazing video.; 6/10/11, 10:50 PM
Geoff Matthews said...: Chris Eliot has really let himself go.; 6/10/11, 10:53 PM
Irene said...: Mr. Irene, who is an expert classical guitar player, just saw this and said, "The kid is actually doing it! That's amazing!!"

(Mr. Irene also plays the accordian. But that's a story we'll tell one day on althou.se).; 6/10/11, 10:54 PM
AST said...: Stevie Ray Vaughan has been reborn. Rock on!; 6/10/11, 10:57 PM
Jeff Boulier said...: It's good CGI, but fake. And it's a commercial; check the closing seconds for a shot of the product.; 6/10/11, 11:24 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I dont know Irene.. if you look at 0:51 seconds (pause) the child raises his little right hand gesturing the rock sign of the horns while managing to (at the same time) raise his little left hand, hot cup of tea pinky, while looking up with his tongue hanging out.

No way that video was not (in the words of the Weiner) manipulated.; 6/10/11, 11:25 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Speaking of Rocksmith, did anybody play the Google guitar doodle yesterday? Apparently it honored Les Paul's 96th birthday.

WHAT, you missed it ???¿¿???

Here it is for all posterity (whatever that is).; 6/10/11, 11:27 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Anyone Can Play Guitar - Radiohead

I still say the video was tampered with.; 6/10/11, 11:34 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: How to play Stairway to Heaven on Google's guitar doodle up there ↑.; 6/10/11, 11:37 PM
Titus said...: I have been posting here for years and just recently noticed that Chip Ahoy is kind of a hottie.; 6/10/11, 11:50 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I tried getting the Althouse link to this but could not.

I'm Yours

I submit this, as a proffer to the court, of a child playing an instrument w/o having the parents tamper the video.; 6/10/11, 11:53 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Okay, so stop me if you heard this.

Not baby-guitar related.

This woman is stopped for speeding and the cop says, "I'll need to see your drivers license." The woman goes, "Oh, I'm so sorry, Officer, I do no have a drivers license. I never did have one of those things." The cop cannot quite believe what he's hearing admitted, so he says, "Show my your vehicle registration." The woman goes, "Oh dear, I don't have one of those either, this is a friends car, and I just took it." The cop is thinking, "Jesus Christ, I got a real idiot here," so he says, "Open the trunk. I'll have to take a look inside." The woman replied, "Okay, if you say so, but you're not going to like the dead body in there." The cop goes, "WHAT?" The woman goes, "Yea, I shot my husband and rolled his body up in a rug and dragged him into the trunk." The cop goes, "Holy shit, I'm gonna have to call in some back up. Don't move."

The cops calls his station. Cop cars converge. The station chief takes over questioning. He starts afresh at the beginning. "Show me your drivers license." She shows him her license. "Show me your vehicle registration." She shows him her vehicle registration. He says, "Now what's this about a body in your trunk?" The woman goes, "What? A body in the trunk? For crying out loud, I'll betchya he probably told ya I was speeding too!"; 6/10/11, 11:55 PM
Titus said...: Chip do you have any weiner pics you can send my way?

I promise I won't share.; 6/10/11, 11:57 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Guitarra suena más bajo - Nicola Di Bari

Guitar sounds quieter
anyone can hear,
I want to take me very soft
all the love I feel,
and no one should know.

Field crickets sing
and a bird in the field,
no sleep tonight
Nor her that at this time
sighs and pressed the pillow.

The moon is firm in the sky
touches me with its rays,
my guitar sounds quieter
[Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/gIr]
although ensierta hand
guitar sounds, it's time.

The time to give all the good
is in my soul
ceñirla my arm and protect
and so love her like nobody can.
When the sun breathe fresh air,
a lawn is green when spring
night and the sun low
left with my love.

I have now in their midst,
the night smells of hay,
God, how to beat your chest!,
people dream about this time,
sleeps guitar, it's time.

The time ...
My love.
