A 14-year-old girl named Tina S. may be the next Eddie Van Halen.

In a clip recently posted to YouTube, Tina shows off her otherworldly guitar chops with a cover of the solo from Van Halen's "Eruption."

The clip lasts just a minute and a half, but that's more than enough time for her to make believers out of anyone.

Let’s see her bust out La Villa Strangiato. OK, she’s still good, though. I taught Lifeson, Page and Hendrix in case you were wonderin’.

She is quite good, but arguably, the most difficult aspect of music is “creating” something that people are willing to pay money to hear.

Lots of "creative" people out there, with no talent of their own, who then have the talented ones perform their stuff.

She has and is developing her talent. As for her creativity, we shall see.

Whether you like her or not, Celine Dion doesn't write her own music. In fact she has done some very good covers of other artists stuff. Such as Tina Turner, Journey, Heart, Eric Carmen...

Very true, and they all experience various levels of success or failure. She is very good and I am certainly impressed.

Someone needs to call Eddie & tell him they found his missing tone ;)

Do they let people take phone calls at rehab?

In his award winning memoir Keith Richard’s ghostwriter writes that he could never figure out a couple of Scotty Moore’s licks on Elvis’ records, and Scotty wouldn’t tell (read the book, I don’t remember off the top of my noodle what they were). Finally, Keef figured out one of them, but there is still another one he can’t crack.

This chick does pretty good, fast fretwork. But like so much of that type of playing, which used to be called ‘Japanese guitar’, it is content free.

talent plus practice.

Good for her. I bet Eddie would have fun doing a few riffs with her.

Bingo. She is only 14 so she has time. But let’s hope she finds her own thing and creates something and doesn’t just copy.

Yeah true. But it’s the best version I’ve seen of eruption I think.

Did Hendrix sell his soul at the crossroads?

I think it was Guitar World who published tablature of Eruption in the early 80’s. EVH was po’d and it’s not that hard.
