When young Joseph Sheppard stepped out in his leather jacket and confidently asked, “Are you ready to rock Manchester?” most assumed they were about to see another cute kid audition. But within seconds, the entire theatre was on its feet as he tore through Chuck Berry’s legendary “Johnny B. Goode” with astonishing confidence, effortlessly singing and playing guitar at the same time

A 10-year-old guitarist wowed the judges on Britain’s Got Talent with Chuck Berry’s classic Johnny Be Good.

In an unseen clip from the ITV talent show, we meet little rock star, Joseph Sheppard who had the crowd eating out the palm of his hand.

Before his audition, Simon Cowell complimented his hair while Amanda Holden commented on his ‘great style’.

Donning a leather jacket and his guitar Joseph asked the audience: ‘Are you ready to rock Manchester?’

And it’s safe to say no one expected him to perform the way he did.
