A group of young but talented boys — led by precocious lead guitarist Stratton James — decided to treat their neighborhood to a garage band concert in New Orleans back in 2015. Luckily Stratton, who has grown up to be a singer-songwriter in his own right, posted the classic video to his YouTube channel.

It’s fair to say that electronic music is garnering more popularity than home jamming or garage music these days. Music enthusiasts are downloading their music from online sources, listening to the latest pop tracks, and creating unique electronic music on their personal computers.

Back in the day, it was easier to catch teens jamming with their friends in their parent’s garage. They were having fun or getting ready for a big musical show at their school. Either way, they were honing their skills.

Some may feel that garage concerts are a little too noisy for their taste. However, some neighbors are more than happy to check out a group that has a deep passion for music. This is probably one of the primary reasons why this tradition is still around.

Guns N’ Roses is one of the best rock and roll bands of all time. Fortunately, a group of teens decided to cover one of their most popular songs. Despite being 12 years old at the time, these kids from New Orleans were impressive. In short, they held their own.

The audience was impressed with their skills. To their surprise, the teens knew how to put on a spectacular performance. The vocals were on point and the music was superb. As the talented teens continued to perform, neighbors began pouring out of their homes.

The small event started out as a simple garage performance, but it turned into a rock concert. In a sense, it was a musical showcase. The vocalist stood back and gave the audience a chance to settle down before moving on to the next song.

After getting the nod from his bandmates, Stratton James began playing the special intro from Sweet Child o' Mine. The crowd cheered as he played the hit song on his guitar. His voice is raspy, but he nailed it. The neighbors sang along and clapped their hands. They were excited. 

It’s vital to mention that James performed well on the electric guitar. He gave you the impression that he toured with legendary rock and roll bands for years. The crowd went wild when his fingers played the strings. You can check out their outstanding performance in the video below.
