Sounds like noise to me. But I guess it could be my crappy laptop speakers.

It's just a prowess of technical ability, when she will match this with musical taste and finesse and fantasy, she will indeed become great!

Girl has great potential, but not the practice! One day she will be extraordinary !

I think she is quite good player, hell some of the things would took me weeks, possibly months to build. But, she needs to slow down a bit and work on tone and rhythm.

she really needs to improve a lot. I agree with Ivan, she should slow down and work on her phrasing and the fast parts really need to be player more precise as well...BUT she has the passion and that is the driving fuel to get there!

She got great passion, but is very sloppy - though I guess that's allowed when she is 13. I wouldn't call her a great guitarist, and not "the worlds best" 13 year old guitarist either.. but she definitely has the will to work hard to get there smile.gif

Also about the musical side of it, she writes on the description that it's not supposed to be musical, just a mechanical technical excersise. Also not everyone play guitar for the musical side of things, each to their own - especially at the age of 13. smile.gif

Here is a more musically video of her and i think it's way better than the shreddy one smile.gif:

Well she's surely infinite times better than me at age 13, I didn't even play guitar at that age. I really admire her devotion at such an early age and it can only be a plus! The only bad thing is she's sometimes overrating her technique, playing fast licks she can't handle, turning them into noise. I guess we all have the "I'm a Guitar God" problem at one stage in our lives biggrin.gif But if she starts paying attention to details, isolating guitar playing aspects and trying to improve each one, God knows where she will be in 10 years!

I am not too crazy about it! She did a good job but there is a lot of youngsters who can shred!
