Guitarist Alexander Santarpia wowing crowds at the age of five
A mini-music prodigy is already performing in front of sell-out crowds after learning to play the guitar on his Playstation -- aged just FIVE. Talented Alexander Santarpia learnt to play the Dean electric guitar after getting hooked on the hit game Rocksmith. Incredibly, just 12 months later he now regularly performs in-front of fans at his parents' pub, picks up an average of £100-a-week in tips, and even writes his own songs. On Saturday (12/4) he became one of the youngest musicians in Britain to gain three distinctions in guitar exams in just one sitting. Usually, it takes players three years to pass all the exams.
