And she looks sorta bored, instead of making faces of a guitarist in pain.

That's what happens when you have "Tiger Parents" that beat you if you slack.

Ah. I thought it was natural talent and ability.
Guess not.
Eddie Van Halen's dad must have REALLY REALLY messed with him.

Eddie wasn't Asian. I used to work with a guy of Asian ethnicity who seemed proud to tell me stories of his 8-year-old daughter's piano lessons and smacking her in the head for whining, fat-fingering the ivories, not practicing, etc., etc., etc. He referred to himself proudly as a tiger dad. I worked with another person who used a Scrum board (if you're in IT) to track and monitor every spare moment of her daughter's "idle time."

It's a real thing. Perhaps not in this case, but perhaps. It was meant to be sarcasm. But still a real thing.
