    Actually, JerryC is the dude that composed the arrangement. funtwo is the guitarist’s “name”.

    It’s the best example of talent on YouTube, I think. I’ve never seen anyone play like that…anyone that plays guitar will know exactly how sick it is.

    I played the guitar for a bit – the way his fingers move I’m surprised the guitar isn’t on fire!

    Mia Rose is very pretty – she’d be very marketable I think.

    Yea, actually there are indeed many home-kept talents in the world who would never have been know on a large scale if not for YouTube.

    Wow, what a fantastic voice and look from Ms. Mia. I’m sure she could sell a mountain of CDs. The funtwo guy is a sick talent as well. I’ve seen that video a number of times in the past and it doesn’t seem to get old. I’ve played guitar going on 18 years now and I still can’t get my fingers to move like that :|

    This young lady has a pretty decent voice as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbC9W5xb63M

    Perhaps you’ve already seen her.
