12 Year old girl guitarist playing Eruption

[GrindhouseLive]

Wow.  Impressive.

[Graemekiss]

You are super Darling,what more can i say,love from Australia.

[Lunsker]

Wow. I've been playing guitar for years, with several hours of practice and I can play all sorts of stuff. But as good as I may be, I can never come close to how well you played. You have a special talent. You should be proud. Keep up the good work and you'll become a rock goddess. I'm not even kidding, follow your dream, and with that much talent, you will have a near guaranteed success. You go girl!

[madshackle]

Awesome talent !

[alexells86]

Dragonforce doesn't really play their instruments at shows, this girl does.

[42lookc]

Can't wait for FunHouse, then!

[johntg123]

@42lookc Thank you it is just about ready. Just nailing down all the sounds I want to use and I just figured out how to record through the Boss GT-10 into Garage band with my Imac - much cleaner sound.

[jetman1098]

u are fuckin awesonme! ;)

[anthony76220]

[Wolfesnacht]

[misfitz69]

Amazing young lady! Keep up the good work. Quite impressive

[NormFC]

Can play the guitar, can't clean her room.

[Stonox]

You sure she is 12 years old? 0o

[johntg123]

@Stonox I know how old I am.

[Stonox]

@johntg123 Well, I just looked at your profile in youtube and it says your are 15 years old. So yeah, I am not that sure that you know how old you are :P

[johntg123]

@Stonox Well in the clip I was 12 now I am 15. This was recorded about two and half years ago when I was 12 years old. If you will look at the added portion it clearly says this clip is two years old. Youtube does not break it down in months only years after the first year is reached - it is almost three years old. Really?

[bobbierrobicheaux11]

U rock

[dillon9116]

Wow Girl ROCK ON

[DieselNbenz]

that was awesome!!!!!!

[Redribbo]

Anyone can play that at 12 years old if they practivced since 6 or younger!

[BenchBoss51]

Awesome young guitarist!!!

But please......CLEAN YOUR HOUSE!!!!

hahahahahaha!

[megajudy]

Well done, sister... well done.

[cepson]

Bra-vo!

[CAGuitarGirl]

[tweeniegirlz]

Clean yur house. Yu rokkkked

[johntg123]

@tweeniegirlz Yeah the laundry is actually one of my chores

[firedancer588]

Hey, I recently started playing guitar ( acoustic about 6 mos ago, and I got an squire for Xmas) and was wondering what brand and model strat you used in this video. Good job btw.

[johntg123]

@firedancer588 It is just a Fender Strat Made in Mexico. It was good for awhile but as time went by it started falling out of tune and would not stay in tune. I received an endorsement deal with Daisy Rock Guitars. I play the Rock Candy Extreme guitar - has a floating floyd rose system, EMG pick ups really a great guitar.

[nyshortline]

Next stop:  Van Halen tribute band. You Rock!!!

[tyetye3111]

All I have to say is ROCK ON!!!!

[KJGordon05]

So the shit what if it's a male or female playing. What the hell does that have to do with anything? by titling your vid, "Girl guitarist plays...", you are basically stating that just because you are a female, you are assumed to be a lesser musician than your male counterpart.

[johntg123]

@KJGordon05 I hear you. This was my first video on Youtube and I was trying to get views. I don't title my clips that way anymore.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@KJGordon05 Incorrect. Get off of your high horse and stop overthinking things. It's a video title for chrissake.

[johntg123]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX Thank you. btw I get some incredibly sexist comments (I should be cooking cleaning, girls can;t play guitar and so on) - I use to believe they were joking but I am no longer sure. Some people on youtube have nothing better to do then overthink things and critize.

[GsustheWoWsavior]

@johntg123 Thats bullshit because Taylor swift plays fucking guitar so on but why do ppl have to start saying OH WELL GIRLS CANT PLAY GUITAR because they are males trying to be superior

[THEidiotmaniac]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX I totally agree, what KJGordon05 said was complete bullshit. It's just his jealousy manifesting into sexism.

I'm perfectly happy to admit that I'M jealous of Taylor! I've only been playing for a year (self taught) and while I'm happy with my progress and still as passionate with guitar as I was from day 1, right now I can only dream to play like this girl :)

[MultiFlacker]

@XxStrongDrums1996xX whos chris and whats his sake?

[johntg123]

@KJGordon05 lol - you should see some of the comments I get re a female musician being less than a male musician...glad to see you believe in equality tho

[oddmanout1792]

horrible guitar tone

[johntg123]

@oddmanout1792 Yeah I know I just got a Boss GT 10 so I am trying to figure out how to input directly into the computer for better tone. I have a old Line 6 that really sucks. Now that I have athe Boss GT 10 I set the Line 6 to a clean channel and use the GT 10 for tone - still not what I am looking for.

[robibm2003]

Coolness. Keep pushing yourself kid.

[Seadooer124]

Thats my name too, except I'm a dude haha, ur pretty legit on the guitar I must say

[kfuzz123]

What effects pedal did you use? (if any)

[johntg123]

@kfuzz123 On this clip nothing. But I just recently got a Boss GT-10. I used it on my Eruption Backwards video

[icomearoundnow]

1. Nice tremolo work

2. The way your body jerks around, this thing looks doctored, ie sped up.

3. You have alot of potential

4. Before you post a video for the whole world to see...uh how about straightening up a bit? your family looks like a bunch of slobs.

[johntg123]

@icomearoundnow 1. Thanks; 2. Not doctored - I can play it much faster than this - not a big deal really; 3. Thank you I am writing a guitar piece I am going to call FunHouse - it is a couple of months away before going on Youtube - much freaker than Game Changer (another piece I wrote on Youtube); 4. Laundry is one of my chores - I would rather play the guitar - but thanks for the concern about family image etc.

[bilbotitface]

should learn to tap with midddle fin thn she wont need to put the pic in her mouth and she can change even faster XD

[johntg123]

@bilbotitface I do tap with my middle finger.

[bilbotitface]

@johntg123 in tht case try tapping without putting pic in ur mouth

[johntg123]

@bilbotitface I can tap with my middle finger without putting the pick in my mouth I just prefer to put it in my mouth - I started doing that when I learned Technical Difficulties by Paul Gilbert - he has a great tapping part in TD I found I could tap faster and without any tension in my hand if I put the pick in my mouth.

[bilbotitface]

@johntg123  fair enough

[Jonasbroh8er]

Good Gwad!!!!!!! Ive Been Playing For At Least Five Years And I Cant Do That! Thats Amazing Keep Up The Good Work. You Should Totaly Use A Marshall Amp. That Will Take It To A Whole Nother Level Of Awesomeness. Keep It Up :)

[liamgirvan2008]

holy fuck i have been playing for 2 years and can't even play that yet well to tell the truth i have never even tried. i can't anyway i don't have a wammy bar

you are amazing

[Onthbrightside]

Holy krap....face melting

[AcatNamedSteve]

The way her head jerks around it seems like the videos sped up. But even if it is that is pure skill!

[johntg123]

@AcatNamedSteve I can assure you it is not sped up - I wouldn't know how to do that if I wanted to. Taylor can play it much faster than this and still keep it clean. If you think this is sped up wait til you see what she is going to put up in about a week!

[AcatNamedSteve]

@johntg123 Allright i believe you ^_^ she is amazing :D

[ceabrus]

How long has she played guitar before being able to do this.

This is like a slap to the face the best i can do is aces high lol i suck

[jlmhalo2fan]

holy shit

[Fherandy]

jajaja simn esta ermosa la man !!! dond vives? cuando vaya a USA caere n u ksa cn mi guitarra xD

[alexmeckel]

when i read the title i figured this video was gonna be awful but decided to watch it anyways

holy shit was i wrong...i cant even play close to that well

[primustig]

she totally needs better equipment. please feed her talent!!!

[H20Sparda]

she scares me haha how in the world can she do that , did she come out of the womb playing guitar haha ive only been playin 6 months and i never ever ever will prob be able to play this song , shes just like a god , if there were a female jimmy hendrix here she be :)

[TFlo1020]

howcome I haven't heard of this lady before...so facemelting

[BleedingxxxLithium]

lol very convincing, but they sped up the vid ^^

[johntg123]

@BleedingxxxLithium LOL - that's a new one. No that is how she played it. In fact she can play Eruption faster than that and keep it clean.

[bromvall]

Buy here a better guitar and it will sound even better :)

[johntg123]

She has a much better guitar now.

[CapnPuff69]

How is it possible to be better than that?

[devoid1436]

Keep it up!

[dedexful]
