This is an amazing feat. But read Sean Bonner’s comment on this. Very true. There is no spoon.

Teenage Girl Nonchalantly Plays Van Halen’s ‘Eruption’ Guitar Solo

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

No big deal, just shreddin’.

“You can really shred that Eddie Van Halen solo, little girl. But can you down 8 lagers at once?” Alex Van Halen

GAHDDAM

WOW.

Here’s my theory on this, and I’m going to reference the slew of young kids pulling off insane skate tricks (like 720’s) that just a handful of years ago seemed impossible except to only the top .0001% of pros.

These kids don’t know they shouldn’t be able to do these things, so they just do them.

We set these limits up for ourselves. We tell ourselves “HFS that is hard, I could never do that” so then we never do it. But kids are too young to kneecap themselves like that. They see videos of people doing things and so they know they can be done and then they go ahead and do them too. They don’t have the self imposed limits we do.

A friend of mine who is one of the top people in his field once confided in me that when instructing new people, he often gives them what would have been considered unattainable goals when he was learning, and the students don’t know that, so they all strive to hit that mark and many of them pass it. Later he tells them the magic they just worked. Once, he told the class first how hard the goal was, and not a single one of them hit it.

We could all learn something from this attitude.

These things matter.

Great Quick Story:
A Little Girl Wanted to go to Disneyland to Meet Snow White.  This little girl believed Snow White would help her make her dream come true.  Her Dream was to see her Daddy come home from Afghanistan doing his tour in the Marines.
She met Snow White who took her to the Wishing Well and Snow White told her to make her wish and close her eyes and wish real strong…. When she opened up her eyes, her Daddy Magically appeared.

No Better place to make this happen than Disneyland.
