bitflipper Posted December 7 Share Posted December 7 Seeing young people playing rock 'n roll gives me hope for the future. It's reassuring that not every teenager dreams of being a gold-toothed rapper. btw, the drummer in this video is 11 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted December 7 Author Share Posted December 7 Meanwhile, the spirit of Jeff Beck lives on...in a teenage girl? Yup, girls can play guitar, too. I think Grace is around 18 years old. The way she builds her solo shows a maturity beyond her years. Also, remember when Johnny Carson used to regularly give the house band a slot in the show? Nowadays, you have to be in the studio audience to see stuff like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted December 7 Author Share Posted December 7 And another father-daughters band. I like these folks because they actually play 100% live, no post-production sweetening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitflipper Posted December 7 Author Share Posted December 7 So what happens when those kids grow up? You get this... Saw these guys live last year after following them on YT since they were kids. Yeh, they did this song and nailed it. Now in their 20's, they just kill it in a live show - no backing tracks, just 5 good singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resolution in that video isn't the greatest, but she goes back and forth between palming that pick to finger-pick, then back to using it several times. The beginning is easier to see her do that, but that unto itself is its own art. It is unfortunate that so many schools are dropping music programs these days, but there are kids very much into traditional instruments out there. The upside with social media is they can find each other. Family encouragement probably helps the most, but I have seen that get overzealous too... when someone takes to something like a duck to water, let them run with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen enough spy movies and police procedurals to know all you have to do is stare intensely at the screen and say "Enhance!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
