But this video is really helpful, psychologically. It explain what a child prodigy really is, and what it’s not. It does also states that these girls may newer learn to write great song. And that the numbers are against them. When their youth fade, that will only be decent guitarist if they even continue playing when they reach 20. And they don’t have the experience like a 30-50 years old dude to write good songs.
 
But it is fascinating to see them. And think of what I did when I was 12 years ols.
 

I spent a Saturday afternoon going down a YouTube rabbit-hole of child prodigy musicians, including a video of that same kid even younger, smiling while effortlessly shredding away. 
 
It brought to mind a favorite science fiction novel by Arthur C. Clarke from the 50's called Childhood's End. In it, a generation of humans takes an abrupt evolutionary leap, leaving the previous generation feeling like soon-to-be-extinct Neanderthals. 
 
When I see kids like this, I wonder if they might in fact be a new species...

It is really fascinating. He is good. And great there is boys doing this too.

Avery Molek is amazing. I've watched quite a few of his vids. Here he is doing Dream Theater's Dance of Eternity, at 8 years old. That song has over 100 time sig changes, how is he able to pick that up at such a young age?
 

Don't forget Alexey when we talk about drums!

What type of guitar are you tossing away, I may be able to find it a good home.

Its the latest Ibanez Universe Air Guitar.

You really want to toss it go listen to Tina S. Youtube. Videos when she was 13 and 14 will blow your mind. She is now 19 I think. She's french. Classically trained plays all the Vai and Satriani stuff. Does a great job on Gary Moore and David Gilmour also. really plays anything.............Amazing!IMHO and I have been playing for over 30 years.
 
I am no shredder, more blues, R&B and R&R....But I always enjoy talent!

Hey, I've got that exact same model!
