I wouldn't say she shredded Back In Black, but she brings it in the last segment...

That's pretty old, she's 19 now and obviously a whole lot better...

Beat me to it.

Li-Sa X has been on YouTube now for several years and has earned shout outs from Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert. A few years back, she did a cover of the Vai/Orianthi duet "Highly Strung" with Yuki of D_Drive, an instrumental band in the same vein as Friedman.

Nice to see she stuck with it. A few years back there was another young girl guitar prodigy named Chicchi who played 50s surf rock covers. Nokie Edwards even appeared in one of her videos. But she disappeared, I guess she walked away.

Pretty much this.

25 years ago if you were a good looking 16 year old who could play a few SRV licks, you were on the cover of Guitar Player magazine and signing a major-label deal.

Now we're at the point that unless you're a pre-pubescent female with major birth defects playing Yngwie at 1.5x speed, you're not impressive.

I got a 12 year cousin that's doing pretty good too. He played the Bridgestone a couple of weeks ago as a guest.
