Bluesape Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Very impressive! Once she grows big enough to wield that axe as an adult sized player, she'll be scary! I hope she stays with it. Never a DUH! moment! Well, almost never. OK, OK! Sometimes never! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyBlues Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Shoot I could do that if I didn't have to work full time. Daggon kids have all those hours after skool to practice!! Pretty amazing young gal. I was born at night but I wasn't born last night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Blues Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 That really impressive. I won't setting my axes on fire, but I will approach them with a little more shame... Ask not what your guitar can do for you, rather ask you can do for your guitar without provoking a divorce or a visit from the police. - with profound apologies to JFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Loads of talent for sure, but the thing I wonder is, how come we NEVER hear from these kids again? The guitarists most people revere today didn't get there by playing difficult songs on YouTube at age 5. And I agree with something GP said a few issues ago which is these wunderkinds everyone is impressed by eventually end up as trained monkeys and leave a legacy as a wunderkind instead of a modern innovator. Anyway, I think her performance would be even better if SHE burned the guitar after she was done. You know, pour some lighter fluid on it, worship it, and then throw it around the stage. Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=810593 http://www.myspace.com/dandelavega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, pour some lighter fluid on it, worship it, and then throw it around the stage. The young shredders don't depress me. There are so many and they're copying note for note. If they were improvising on the level of Johnny Smith and had chops...then I'd be depressed. How about this for the Grande Finale?

If you go to YouTube to watch her vids, you'll also see a link to a 12 year old Joe Bonnamassa doing a blues tune, He's one that had skills early, and stuck with it. Also, Derek Trucks played on stage with the Allman Brothers when he was 12... and then went on to join the band as an adult. So while some kids burn out or fade away... some stick with it!

Boggs Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think others may decide to go into a less "out front in the limelight" genre of music as rock and blues tend to be. I can't prove it, but I think that could be a possibility...

picker Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I wonder if some of them eventually come to their senses and realize there is too much competition and not enough money in music, especially when you no longer have the gimmick of being a child prodigy. But what I think is that not everybody who can play really loves it. People always leave what they don't love behind when they find whatever it is that they do love. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I wouldn't have believed that if I hadn't just seen it with my own eyes. She's playing that with heck of a mature feel and level of expressiveness. Then there was the nice polite little smattering of applause at the end (??!!) Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
