Genesis - Watcher Of The Skies - 8 year old

This is my 8 year old daughter learning to play Watcher of the Skies. She still has some work to do, but it's pretty good for a kid to try Tony Banks.

Thanks! This is when she was first learning it. Her timing is much better now.  I hope she lets me record her again sometime. Perhaps both of us playing it together.

Oh she's so adorable..!! ...And awesome!! Great job ProgMom! Good thing you're teaching you kids good music. They will thank you for it in the future. Not like this idiot Viennese is saying. Of course they would rather be playing or surfing the net or play video games, but you as a parent, with love and patience, is your obligation to do and let them know that what you are doing is for their best. Love and hugs.

@vivelavidarocka Thank you! My kids actually do enjoy playing this stuff despite the shallow closed minds of some people :) My daughter plays this song a lot better now, but she doesn't want me to record her for youtube anymore.

Sweet, and interesting. Good Mum :-) When I was at this age, I had to play German Hits from the fifties. OmG...

@ProgMom67 Ask her if she will allow you to film only her hands and board, maybe. I agree with other commenter - to a huge GEN fan like me it is the greatest thing in the world. Please tell her I had tears in my eyes. Forgive my instrumentless knowledge is that a mellotron. If not what, pls.

I was in a prog/hardrock band for 20 years in MA. Now i am in a little jazz trio (guitar&bass)

my son (13) is learning the guitar and just switched to bass and when he picks up my fender and starts playing it makes me all warm and fuzzy:)-

[brokemyfender]

Very nice,you should be proud.

[wbilyard]

That is the greatest thing I've ever seen

At least she can play through it! I can barely get through 8 or 10 of the first chords!
