WATCH: 10-year-old schoolboy guitarist racks up celebrity fans after becoming YouTube star
STEP aside Angus Young - there's a new guitar whizz who also wears his school uniform. But this one is a real life schoolboy.
Meet Toby Lee, the 10-year-old whose videos of himself strumming away to the likes of rockers AC/DC and the blues have gone viral with more than 1.4million YouTube hits.
Since he received a ukulele as a present at the age of four, he hasn’t looked back and his celebrity fans now include Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, who described him as a "natural."
Pint-sized Toby’s latest video shows him performing AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' wearing a school cap - in honour of his idol Young who famously donned a uniform on stage.
Toby, from Bloxham in Oxfordshire, said: "I'd give my guitar playing 9.5 out of ten because no one is perfect.
"I play the blues and rock and roll. I got the ukulele when I was four and started to play the guitar when I was six.
"I'm not sure where liking rock came from, but I listen to it all the time now and my mum and dad quite like it.
"I just love playing and when we put the videos up on Facebook I thought they would have about ten people look at them.
"When I found out more than a million people had seen it, that was a surprise."

And when asked whether he thinks he can make it to the top in the music industry, Toby added: "I'm not sure how far I can go with this - I haven't got a time machine."
However, the young musician says he will not make it singing.
He added: “I really hate singing. I have my own Squier by Fender electric guitar.”
It is clear Toby plans to make it to the very top because he has already lined up a masterclass with Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, who now plays with Guns 'n' Roses.
He is also set to travel to Graceland, Tennessee in the summer to visit Elvis Presley's former house.
His proud father Terry, 48, said he is “delighted” his son’s music is being appreciated by so many people.
The photographer said: "Toby's always been very passionate about the guitar.
"He's always strumming in the back of the car on his way to school.
"I shot a few videos of him playing at home and put them on Facebook and within a few days over a million people had watched them including people in America.
"He's only ten but is already getting fan mail. It's amazing and we're delighted his music is being appreciated by so many people."
