Holy cow! It's hard to believe those little hands can do that! It's obviously a combination of a true gift and an unreal amount of practice with Asian discipline. It's hard to say how good she'll be by the time she's in first grade!  I wouldn't burn the guitars just yet though.

Thank goodness she doesn't play trombone...

I think I'll just burn my guitars -- and my keyboards. No hope for me.  Don S.

A perfect example of what practice, good teachers, practice, discipline, practice and the love of the instrument (I hope she wasn’t forced to play) can do.
Is this the next Segovia?

Once in a while I get overwhelmed by a performance and feel I want to give up.
If I listen to Oscar Peterson for an hour I probably don't play the piano for a day or so.
I remember hearing a cover band do Robert Cray's Smoking Gun once and thinking the band I played in was terrible at it, especially me trying to do the piano and organ parts.
A week or so later we were playing somewhere, had too much to drink, I remember a beer and scotch on the amp beside me, we smoked cigars at the break and we did that tune and after we were on a total high, except I knew it wasn't that good. But it was guys, good times, and the audience loved it. I miss that most about doing solo stuff. You just hang out with yourself instead of going to the stairwell and laughing about the snapped guitar string and the big blonde trying to dance on stage.
At the end of the day it's gotta be about memories of good times. Not enough of those to go around, even if you have a thousand.
Just keep pluggin. I prefer the kid in diapers to the perfect setting, it's a juxtaposition of philosophy.

I am glad that I have resisted the temptation to give it all up after watching someone else who plays at an level that seems impossible to me at the time. I have fun with my guitar playing and enjoy it, and that is where it's at for me. I am getting better all the time, but I am realistic as well, knowing that there are those who will always be much better players than me. More power to them, I say, I will just enjoy what gifts I have for as long as I can.

I feel the same way after listening to Johnny Smith play the guitar!

Mario D: When "Johnny" set up a rare Chicago Gig in 1956, at the BeeHive Lounge, there were many local pro guitarists lining the bar...and all were cool watching him run the neck with both his improv and chordal approaches....but, "inside" what were they really thinking?? I had a seat at the end of the long, curving bar...and this is the most "fun" thing about making this rare gig for him, being outside of NYC...It was that he had just married his second wife, and he introduced her to me and asked if I could keep her company for the set. Of course I said yes and it didn't matter... I was still transfixed with his playing. Couple of weeks later, I caught Stan Getz at another small club, at the set break, he sauntered over to the bar and took a seat at the bar right next to me. A very cool dude who was, as usual a bit high...but...at the same time, a monumental figure in the cool school. These two joined together for "Moonlight In Vermont, a very big hit that helped rocket them both to Downbeat Players of the Year...for many years.

That young girl is amazing. Gee, I probably have things in my 'fridge that are older than her.
Cheers,

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
