Damn 9 yrs olds these days!!

Impressive! Kinda funny at first with the guitar so big on her. But she's got chops, that's for sure.

See also Jess Lewis, who is 16 and has been playing for four years. She's already playing Guthrie Govan songs.  http://youtu.be/bVYAxDwzq80
 
I try not to be a grump just on principal, but there's something a bit odd about some of these. "Bluesjamtracks" seem to have some business relationship with "Alex Hutchings" and "Eternal Guitars." Mr. Hutching's goal is to sell you backing tracks and tab. Jess Lewis is supposedly playing "Mr 335" from Larry Carlton here, using the tab and backing track she bought from Alex Hutchings:

I have heard students who made great progress in memorizing positions and licks, and in fact they sound better (relatively) on the faster stuff. But the inflections and tone and intonation just don't sound like a four-year player, to me. In fact, it sounds an awful lot like Alex Hutchings' own playing on another track, "Sophisticated Blues."

That Ygnwei girl, who knows - it sounds pretty awful to me, and the sound and video synching is way out of whack. If they want my money they need to get to it before they give me a headache, not after.  :toothy12:
 
1:33 cracked me up.  That's where she's playing, but has to scratch her nose real fast.  I hate it when that happens!!

Hehe! Yeah. "Dammit! If I can't scratch my nose, I'm gonna freak! Oh, wait. Here's a free 17 milliseconds..."
 
The title and description are in Japanese. Says she's 9 years old and in the 3rd grade.
