Poor little girl.

Probably the daughter of some party official that's had a guitar glued to her hands and locked in a room in a compound for the last 12 months straight to learn a VERY small repertoire to incredible brilliance.

Her fingers must have hurt so much.

You can't play like that without very demanding practice.  Children don't have that kind of discipline in the face of pain.

I'd actually call this child abuse.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

The real test will come when she's about 16. Will she continue on the guitar or give it up for boys? That happens too.  ;)

She's probably happy that she gets a piece of bread for doing such a good job.

they were note precise but passionless

Sounds a lot like 95% of the Hartt students I know.  Playback machines. ;)

To me, she seems to be enjoying herself. Like in the way she's bouncing her head back and forth during the rythymic part. I'm just not seeing a robot here.

Ohhhh, I was not aware of that.  ;)

 :laugh:

I have seen kids as young as that play that well before. One that comes to mind was 7 when I saw him but he had a suitable sized guitar. Both his parents were musicians so he was pretty well exposed since birth. Probably before birth if you take the yuppie parents factor into consideration.  =D

I suspect she's using a full sized guitar for the sound that wil come out of it vs a child size.

Right.  As with North Korea's other cultural achievements, I'm certain this one was accomplished purely through positive reinforcement and the exceptional freedom to choose one's own destiny.

I'm with C&SDaddy in this case.

It is not possible to teach a child to play an instrument - piano, guitar, violin - like that without some pretty harsh discipline, in North Korea or in America.

Whether we should be doing that is a question for another thread.
