If you are discouraged with small hands.....

methinks this was posted once, but a wonderful video all the same

Well thats about the most impressive playing I've ever seen...

I can't be bothered to click the link... is it that Asian girl doing a classical piece?

How does she do that bit where she uses both hands on the fretboard?...She isnt doing any kind of tapping that I know. It creates different octaves, except u hear both the lower n higher octaves, unlike any octave tapping I do on electric.

Yes it is...It takes more effort to click a link then to post that message n wait for a reply? :?

Its all abouit practice and nothing about sizes.People say Jimi hendrix was good because of his unusual length of his fingers but i think it was more like playing hours of his stratocaster.

Her fretting hand is playing an octave... then her picking hand is using three fingers: two pluck the strings (the thumb on the lower note, the middle or ring finger on the upper) while the index finger touches one string an octave above where it's fretted. That gives you an artificial harmonic on one note.

if you *lightly* put your index finger 12 frets higher than where you're fretting, then pluck the string behind it, you create a harmonic. she's doing that and plucking a different string with her thumb simultaneously. it's easy to do.

I'll bet she's been playing since she was so little ("How little was she?") that somebody had to help her hold the guitar up it wouldn't fall over on her. :wink:

Regardless if it has been posted before or if it is bothersome.... I think it is incredible to say the least

"Its all abouit practice and nothing about sizes."

I think you have spoken the obvious.......

I just find it amazing that the guitar is bigger than she is....

I am so humbled and impressed. Amazing.

Geoo

That was inspiring. Any of our classic guitar savy posters wanna tell us how many hours of practice it took her to learn that piece (an estimate)? Whats even more amazing is that the girls site reading is probably of instant application. And, she probably gets straight A's in school too...cant beat those Asians...

First, a disclaimer: I am in no way detracting the the awesome display this young lady shows. Just incredible!

With that said, I find it interesting that almost every time I see/hear something from a very young child that is incredible techincally, I seem to feel that the music itself isn't very "musical", if you get my meaning. I assume that it's from more and more experience giving feeling to the music. It it just me?

I seem to feel that the music itself isn't very "musical", if you get my meaning. Signor Paganini is most disappointed.
:wink:

I don't get that comment, that was, in my opinion, a quite melodic piece of classical music :?
