That's an interesting perspective, I can see why you might say that. I still think the kid is quite talented, especially for her age.

Here's what it really comes down to: What is playing Eruption mean? In reality, it means nothing. If she was writing hit songs at age 14, that would show talent. Alanis Morissette was writing hit songs then and later sold more than 30 million records. People like Carol King were writing songs in her teens and sold millions upon millions of records and is absolutely amazing. Jackson Browne signed his first publishing deal as a teenager and wrote hit songs. That's real talent.
To further that, I've got a good friend that's a talent manager that signed not one, but two bands in the past six months to major label record deals (Warner Brothers and Uni) that feature kids still in high school (although the lead singer of one of the bands is graduating next month). Again, that's real talent.
Copying a 35 year old guitar solo does not display talent, IMO. It's a parlor trick.
