The "kid" plays fine, but there really isn't anything amazing or unique about it. Yngwie did this years ago as mentioned by Jazzman, and the only thing in the piece that is remotely difficult is playing the arpeggios cleanly. And if your guitar is set up properly even that is cake. eh... I am still amazed at how popular this video is. The “kid” plays fine, but there really isn’t anything amazing or unique about it.

Merely pointing out the fact that Malmsteen did his years ago in his Christmas album, w/ much more class and style. Of course, Vai is very accomplished guitarist in his own right; no doubt. I did actually watch this "Jerry C's" version on some Asian tv show; very sloppy and amaturish. This "Funtwo" is techically much more sound than Jerry C. Jazzman,

Jerry C from Taiwan made the track that the kid is playing to.Playing a cover that is tabbed all over the internet isn't as impressive. He’s good, but it’s a cover.
