Well, I’d like to hear her stuff, but will accept the column at face-value. Prodigies are rare; I hope she prospers.

Wow pretty wild. I saw on that Youtube page they had another video of Paul Gilbert, that guy is insane fast, his pinky is the same length as his other fingers.....

Not my type of music anymore, but she’s really good!

Meh.

Good technique, flurries and such, but the actual musical content is a little thin, IMHO.

I'm going to check out a few more of her videos and see what I think then...

I might have been interested in a 12-year old girl guitarist when I was 10 but there weren’t any back then. Instead, there were the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, The Mothers of Invention, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Stooges...Boy, am I ever glad that I grew up (or not) when I did.

Check out the Youtube of a twelve year old Joe Bonamassa playing Danny Gatton’s Tele at a state fair in Bakersfield with Danny watching off to the side. And I believe there’s video on the net of Derek Trucks jamming with some big boys when he was 10 or 11.

And there’s no way...no way, that a child of twelve could ever play like Jimi Hendrix.

I’m a big Hendriz fan. Was getting his records from a Brit friend before he was ever heard of in the vStates. But,,,, Jimi opened a door that many have gone through. That’s his legacy!
You gotta give the girl a chance to grow! She will develop more musically.

[[Prodigies are rare;]]

Here’s another prodigy- this kid throws these improve sessions together on the fly- throws a bunch of songs together, and somehow it all works- He claims he had no training, and didn’t own a TV or radio- He’s one of those folks who can hear something once, and play it later-

He was 14 when he made his debut on Australia’s got talent

Listen to this second one all the way through- he throws together soem awesome playing
