Here is 12 year old Jacob King at the Oklahoma Steel Show. Unbelieveable for 12 years old how well he plays. His name will be around for years. Great job my friend.

Thanks so much Paul. That's the one I would have picked also. I've never posted him playing way to survive but I have the others. We had a great time. Thank your wife for helping video.

Very professional tone and playing. Jacob has great control of the instrument. It looks like it comes so natural for him.

BTW: did I notice the the guitar player was not using his right hand? Whatever the situation or reason, he certainly played well. I am impressed.

I have more coming to post, but only with his fathers permission. I jumped the gun before letting Jason view them first. I sure wish that I was related to this young man. He has God given talent for sure.

Thank You Rick and Steven! Rick I believe the guitar player had an accident and lost the ability to use his right arm for guitar. He does a great job and gives you an idea of what a monster player he must have been!

What great tone, phrasing and technique--bars slants, even!
He knows how to fit in perfectly with the rest of the band.
Great job!

Wendell, you are right, he has a great teacher. He has been taking lessons from Mike McGee for almost two years.
