Never mind. You are just too good for me anymore. I bow to your greatness.

What? Dude, I was asking a simple question. I'm not being flippant, I just didn't understand where you were coming from. Geez.

Dane my point was right there for you to read. For some reason you want to find some hidden meaning behind it. I said what I said and I said what I meant. I'm not saying this kid is better than EVH. THAT would be stupid. She isn't. Doesn't mean she can't be. The odds are astronomically not in her favor but who are you to say otherwise. I'm sure somebody said Alanis Morrisette was never going to have a future as well.

Hopefully this kid feeds off of the negative comments and proves them wrong. But, if she doesn't, it doesn't change my opinion of her right now, in this moment. That was 3 minutes of music that I enjoyed listening too. Unlike millions of other videos that I find to be a complete waste of time.

Remind me to not post a video of my daughter singing.

I don't even know where to start.

She's 14 years old and if her videos are to be taken seriously, she hasn't exhibited any interest in song writing or structure or going beyond learning what's been done (a million times, I might add) before her. Besides that, her playing is mediocre at best and conveys absolutely no emotion.

Secondly, YouTube pays per hit, so she or her parents know the value of exploiting this girl, which I think is dreadful. It's a novelty act "Oh, see my little girl play Van Halen or see her play this classical piece". If you think that her videos were posted with "good intentions", I have to disagree.

And lastly, I worked in music business side for more than a decade. I've seen, firsthand, how true artists are developed and nurtured (including Alanis and no, you were completely wrong. She was signed when she was 14 years old.).

I've also seen more than my fair share of "wanna-be's" and people only looking out for fame, songwriting and musicianship be damned. And considering that I continue to work in the music business to this day and associate with numerous people working in fields throughout the industry, I think that I have enough wisdom and knowledge to "say".

I'd give her the same advice as I give people constantly: If you want to be a virtuoso, learn piano and go to school.

If you want to have a career in the music business, learn how to write songs. Spend every waking moment writing. Otherwise, your chances of making a career in the music business is less than zero.

And she doesn't play it cleanly, either. The hammer-on/tapping thing is well done but that's easy. The picking and fingering is fairly sloppy.

once again we are reminded why your name starts with Douche.....

Pretty good for a teenage girl.

But she needs to add a little "feeling" to it.

Who cares?

You can't see "feeling" if you're listening to a CD.

Dane needs to be the next Judge on American Idol. He could fill the Simon/villain role.
