I have to say that Roxhum's post made me laugh because that's what I wanted to say.. but that's not any vacuum it's a Dyson... isn't it?
Keep up your great playing!
Heh, heh. Curt, I was IMing your dad this afternoon and I told him I foresee a day in the not too distant future when I'm going to be one of those old geezers sitting in front of the barber shop saying, "I knowed young Curtis when he was just a young whipper-snapper!"
Your dad outted you, man, he says you sing, too so we need to hear some of that!
Well, how are we going to know if that's going to happen until you put it out there, eh? Seriously, give it a shot. You're probably around the age where your voice may be a bit wild at times but Jonny Lang started about your age or a tad younger and today he's one of the best modern blues vocalists around. The voice is just another instrument, and the earlier you master it the better! Very few musicians make it to the top as instrumentalists alone (with obvious exceptions like Jake S.). That's mostly because, rightly or wrongly, people tend to connect more closely with songs (i.e. lyrics) than with tunes.
Above all, though, have fun with your music. It looks like you are so far, and that's the thing to keep above everything else. You are good enough that when you start "hanging it out" on YouTube as you are you're going to draw the occasional troll and nasty comments from jealous idiots - let that nonsense roll off your back like water off a duck, kiddo, don't ever let them discourage you.
loved it curt. awesome playing mate. you did great. looking forward to some more clips and maybe a bit of singing too sometime soon. You play really really well. cheers!
