TikTok star stuns ‘America’s Got Talent’ judges with guitar. ‘Was not expecting that’
While everyone knows how to clap and stomp their feet to the Queen classic “We Will Rock You” at sporting events, one man stunned an entire audience by transforming into a rock god right before their eyes with his playing of the piece.
John Wines, an electrician-turned music teacher and TikTok star known as “Old grey guitarist,” swayed the judges of “America’s Got Talent” and is moving on to the next round thanks to his bombastic skills — which were showcased after the audience was taken aback by a piercing guitar scream in the beginning.
“I was not expecting that,” the usually crabby Simon Cowell said after the performance.
All the panelists — Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Sofia Vergara — agreed in advancing the music man.
Wines, who is a guitar tutor form the south coast of the United Kingdom, has 1.3 million followers on TikTok, where he shows off his prismatic talent on a usual basis, wowing viewers everywhere.
