10-year old Yuto Miyazawa joins Ozzy for Crazy Train

 Ozzy Osborne likes to talk about all the top guitarists he has been fortunate enough to play with. Well now he has played with one highly-skilled guitarist who will in all likelihood be at the top of his field for many many years to come because he's only 10 years old.

10-year old joins Ozzy for "Crazy Train"

"Ozzy Osbourne has always talked about how fortunate he is to have worked with some highly-skilled guitarists: starting with Tony Iommi (and does it get any better than that?), that list includes Randy Rhoads, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde, and his current sidekick, Gus G.

There’s a new kid in town.

And he means business.

And he’s 10-years old.

Yuto Miyazawa is a 10-year old Japanese musical child prodigy; he was named 'The Youngest Professional Guitarist' by the Guinness Book of World Records in August, 2008.

In the spring of 2009, Miyazawa made headlines after playing “Crazy Train” on the Ellen DeGeneres Show; Ozzy even showed up to meet the young guitar whiz on the program. Obviously impressed, Ozzy recruited the (then) 9-year old to join him for his gig at BlizzCon 2009.
