8 year old girl is ... really good

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

This 8 year old girl can play some mean guitar... I think the piece is from Trans-Siberian Orchestra?  Not sure... worth a listen, though.

Never mind, Bob - good try.  She looks lovely, but seems to need longer fingers yet.

Yeah..... but she's only 8.  She has plenty of growing still to do.

And of course there are meachnical finger extensions

She is playing with the track which covers the mistakes, but she does the digitation properly. At first I thought it was just a simple pattern because the piece starts that way but later she proves that it is more than the (relatively) easi(er) first bars. Kudos!

Thank you for that-- I was rather hoping an actual expert guitar player would watch and say something.

I was beginning to wonder if it was faked-up, aka Milli Vanilli...

That was awesome. I hope she keeps it up over her teenage years, and becomes a virtuoso guitarist of the future. If I ever have children, they will all learn to play like this. Or else!
