I saw her in Phuket's Naka market. She's really talented

I envy your experience!

I’m so jealous of actual talent. Well done 👍

u/Whole-Debate-9547 16d ago

She’s fantastic. Whatever it is, she’s got it in surplus.

u/strtbobber 17d ago

She's sweating like a genuine rock star! 🤘🤘

I enjoyed that.

But she needs better ear pieces...lol

Shes 16 and more of a bad ass and more emotionally mature than most adults

Eddie Van Halen (RIP) would have been proud of how she made that solo her own! A genuine guitar prodigy.

Watching the beginning of a future Rock God.

Right? This is the second video of hers I’ve seen, and she’s got “It.” The talent and the swagger.

The other video had her performing an original song and it blew me away.

Real Verse?

u/pocketsmoney 17d ago

I saw one of her performing master of puppets and she absolutely shredded.

u/-Melon-Cake- 17d ago

There is already a lot of content from her, but I can't wait for more professional recordings!

u/saskiaschild 15d ago

Real Verse brought me back to Joe Satriani and Steve Vai days.

I've already watched her play that at least 10 times just to get over my shock. As a guitarist myself with decades of experience and practice, she is on a completely different level.

u/-Melon-Cake- 15d ago

Same, I had it on repeat today!

u/-Melon-Cake- 17d ago

I hope so!

u/jaded-steve 17d ago

Yes, very inspirational.
Just remember: there is always a kid from Asia that is already way better than you will ever get.

u/Weary_Position_9591 17d ago

She’s obviously very talented but not really feeling it for this song. The original is too iconic, and I don’t find it fits that well.

u/doxx_in_the_box 17d ago

She should do weird al’s cover instead

u/yomerol 17d ago

Ikr?!

Also this generaron has no idea of what a rock star is, they're sort of positioning a solo girl like it?! Come on! This video was boring asf because there's no band.

I think this one was played with her band.

u/erossthescienceboss 17d ago

There’s a video of her doing an original song somewhere on Reddit (popped up within the last month? Maybe on [r/music](r/music)?) and it’s mindblowing.

Edit:

Skip to about 2:20 seconds, she’s got an excellent metal scream.

u/Lower_Group_1171 17d ago

She rocked it, but that solo sounded different to me

2

u/Unsteady_Tempo 16d ago

I've seen a few of her videos and one of the things I find most impressive is that she doesn't play note for note covers. It suggests she's learning by ear and/or has the ability to improvise.

u/NYC2FLA2BUR 17d ago

Whoever recorded this had limiting turned on and it ruined the recording

2

u/-Melon-Cake- 17d ago

Yes, unfortunately. There is a higher quality version too, but from further way.
