Van Halen - Eruption Guitar Cover

[slidey]

When I was her age, I wanted to play the guitar so badly. Now after decades of practice, I'm 45 and have achieved my goal.
I can play the guitar badly.

[geovaniraffaelli]

Why do people say this is hard to play? I find it extremely easy. I just hit the play button and it plays just fine.

I understand Tina is 14 in this video...it's funny to think that at such a young age she plays guitar far better than most of us will ever be able to do anything.

The video that launched a guitar craze and shocked seasoned guitarists around the world. Her classical guitar training, seven or eight years of it, has given her amazing technique and finger dexterity. Classical guitar training also includes learning methods of string muting which budding rock and metal guitar players have to figure-out for themselves. Tina is soooo good.

[Webster]

her texting skills must be off the charts

[matthewkim]

I can play this. Extremely slowly, while looking at tabs.

A tribute to Eddie Van Halen 1955-2020 RIP Eddie

[mrs.]

Eddy's memory lives on in the younger generation. Amazing skills for such a young guitar player.

1:10 she's playing one of the most intense guitar solos ever in the history of all that exists... and it looks like a fly has her attention!

[jpdrums]

She looks like she’s just thinking of what to have for breakfast, this seems so easy to her

[russella]

People amaze me man.  LOL.  Criticize, criticize, criticize.  Many look for the things that are wrong than the things good.  She's FOURTEEN YEARS OLD and ripping it up.  As she matures so will her music.  The ones that need to mature are the ones criticizing this talented girl.  Excellent job!   

[drewlo]

Her rendition is tighter than OJs gloves! Extremely talented!

[J_Schecter]

All the failed guitarists and jealous guitarists are picking out the most random things wrong with how she played. I remember reading a comment saying her girly hands look bad on the guitar. Just shut up and admit she's extremely talented and did everything fantastically. Hounding on her because she's not showing emotion? Who the hell cares... The music is the emotion, not her face. Y'all should show an emotion...called respect. Maybe honesty as well.

[functionform]

the final taps is where my arm always cramped, I always slowed down against my will. She does a flawless execution and seems to have dexterity to spare. Unbelievable and yet there it is. All 20 million views deserved.

[FRAMTZ]

I can play the intro of Come as you are, and I'm proud of it !!!

[Syclone]

I’ve been watching YouTube covers since 2007, over 13 years, and this girl easily hails as one of the all time greatest, no question.

Tina S. playing a great, speedy Van Halen guitar solo. Just 3 weeks ago someone already noticed the dislikes and commented: "1267 people just realized that after playing all their lives, they still can't play as good as Tina S at 14". That may be true. What makes someone watch a young girl performing like this and then decide they must 'dislike' it? Imagine someone who doesn't like guitar solo's. Or even someone who believes young girls shouldn't be busy 'copying' Van Halen solo's. Even those people would normally have the decency to either click the 'like' button or click nowhere at all. But apparently, for some people, 'disliking' an obvious 14 year old talent is their default reaction. Like they are pessimists who cannot create meaning and hope from seeing a good thing happening.

It's probably a generation problem. Clearly SOME 14 year old girls can play like this - some people cannot really handle that. Many of our young people today do all sorts of amazing things - in the arts or even in science. They even show us how to think with more empathy about our world. Remember 15 year old Ann Makosinski who invented a flashlight that shines just by holding it in your hand? It was an idea she had in mind for people in countries where not everyone has access to the electrical grid. So they can read a book, for instance. There are many such examples, and it tells us that there is hope, there is creativity among the new generation. How can we 'dislike' this? No: how can we be so MISSING the point? Maybe some people are just... missing the goodwill to be human.

Tina S makes it look effortless, the sign of mastery. This kind of excellence is astonishing (and at age 14!).

[mikefire]

She could, at the least, make it look difficult to play.

A beautiful tribute to a rare guitar legend from a gifted and dedicated young musician/guitar monster in her own right. Notice how she remains calm and focused mentally in all her precise fretboard Olympics.
I am in complete awe of her.🙌👊😎👍🏆
