Excellent 

I think she has a bright future in front of her.

[albitz]

I was prepared to be underwhelmed tbh,but she was brilliant.

"" holds head in hands ""   



yes she's done some practice.


but the playing is robotic, slightly soulless, and the timing is off,  and the tone is horrid.....  far too much fizzy gain....  covers sloppy technique....   

PS.

yup,  i CAN play that.....   or at least I could, and did....   20 odd years ago....   

can probably still do most of it if i re-learn the order of the phrases.

(i would add that Vivaldi and paginini were the reasons i bought my first 24 fret guitar in about 1990. ....  being of only limited talent,(or ego)   unlike mr Yngwie Malmsteen,   just couldn't get the top of the phrases right on a 22 fret. )


here's a rather better version.

however, if she can develop some stage presence,  and "feel"  she'll go far......    there's far too few females in the shredding trade,

(ps, TB has seen me do a little of said stuff on a six string....    when i sorted his mate's drop tuned jobby out for him in "the server room"  )

Metal and classical mix very well imo.
One cd that is always in the car is Metallica / S&M

Anything Metallica  ( Actually no - NOT the St Anger album !)
                    

And for the classical anything with Edith Mathis singing Mozart

One of my favourite Metallica albums. Of course deep purple led the way as they were the first rock group to perform with an orchestra,

No one has ever come close to being as popular rock bands ... 

Ive managed the first few notes of smoke on the water on my guitar , only took me 12 months

Brill. If I can do it then so can you     

[omega3000]

Wrong song i meant ac/dc's TNT 

[alexw80]

Cracking. She'll go far if she wants to.

I remember when I first saw the FunTwo version of Canon Rock on Youtube, thought it was amazing.

Quite impressive-but have to agree with Max here in that ,however churlish it may sound, her performance lacks the "soul" (for lack of a better word) that any good music should have. Then again this probably only comes with age/experience. The young guitarist I always rated was Sungha Jung whose acoustic stuff was both technically excellent but also showed "feeling". Sadly, the last few clips Ive seen of him as he has grown older and moved to more electric playing dont really match up to the promise of his earlier stuff. But hey, Ive been playing for years and there's no way my fingers can move like this young lady's so what do I know . For anyone who likes this sort of thing check out Edgar Cruz's classical arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (if I wasnt such a ludite I'd even give you a link! )
