He's been at it for about a year, and got this guitar in June. I reckon he's going to be a monster. Could this be a new star, rising in the North?

Wow! Fantastic stuff - really encouraging to see some younger players* getting into this wonderful instrument. Look forward to seeing how Conor gets on over the next few months!

* (I don't think I can still legitimately count myself in this category, but I'll keep using the "Grecian 2000" on my hair and only doing lo-res videos as long as I can )

You're fresh meat as far as I'm concerned, Sid
I'll definitely lump you in with the new kids on the block!

about a year?? whoa!!!! AMAZING

I know, Charlie. I thought I could be of some help to him, but it's the other way around

Well done Connor,
did Bob add some extra notes when he serviced the guitar?
Don't know about you Danny, your already well down the road but this playing will be the tipping point and drive Calum to drink, when he hears this universal being played.
No signs of a screwdriver or cans of worms either

He's already a great guitar player, Robert, a real tastemaster. I was lucky enough to meet him when he came into the studio where I worked. I think he was 18 and had been playing for just a few years and already he was like a cross between Chet and Roy Buchanan
And to top it all, he's a really modest and pleasant young man. I hope to be like him when I grow up

Too late for that now Danny, we're on the way back to childhood

The guy has really got it, really nice playing

Nothing on steel (As yet) Charlie, but I'm sure you'd enjoy his guitar work.

I know it's not steel, but worth a watch IMHO

Mmnn, I don't know what's wrong with the Dropbox link, it's a clip of Conor playing Bob's vintage Hofner.
probably operator error
