Wow!! What an honor for this early release and also what an honor that I got to play for the first time on stage and it’s on America’s Got Talent! Thank you for creating an unforgettable memory for me!! 😃❤️🤘
As a guitar teacher w 200,000 subs on my RUclips channel I have to say what impressed me was not her playing papa roach. 1000s of kids play that in any guitar center in the country on any given day.... But that short Indian style intro she played spoke volumes. ...now blending that with metal is obviously cool but that intro was brilliant. KEEP ROCKIN'
I posted this already on something but I still think it can be said here. I would love to hear her do a rendition with some of that style throughout the song. It fit so well and she really did rock it
@raysouza6535 SHE MADE THE CHARMATIC MUSIC BY MAKING THE PICK UPS ON HER GUITAR FEED BACK AT A CERTAIN PITCH BEFORE PLAYING THE THRASH MUSIC . VERY WELL TRAINED BY ONE OF HER MUSIC TEACHERS AND YOU TUBE TABS AS MAYA CALLS THEM. THE LORD BLESSED THE CHILD WITH THIS GIFT.
She's mixing Papa Roach with classical and complex Indian Carnatic tunes, and making an electric guitar sound like a sitar, while dressed like a mix of traditional Indian + punk? And she's only ten? Can't wait for her first album to come out. Forget America's Got Talent. SHE's got talent. She's going to take the world by storm. She's a natural. And we need more female rock guitarists. But yes, when Indians get going, their cultural output will shake and remake the world.
Yea, a poor boy in an African country, a traditionally dressed Indian girl, an Iranian immigrant boy, an introvert Chinese boy in Stanford - it's time we all keep the stereotypes aside and focus on the talent.
0:50 nobody ever hear that type of fusion music before I guess. I can feel it through the sound of cheering. Literally that instrumentation was awesome. At first she honoured and started with Indian Carnatic music then, touched base metal rock strings and then the music fire works started with trembling those strings with her soft fingers. She is a legend with handling those sharp strings as similar as professional. Then whole auditorium erupted with soundings. Omg, 10 years old Chennai girl rocked 🔥.
That part was where I got goosebumps. I've never heard anything like that. That fusion was the most amazing thing I've ever heard coming from an electric guitar, because that was an original and unique thing. I'm trying to find the clear version without the croud sound. It's so godlike.
What the hell!!!!! She is so cool. From her outfit to her skills everything is top notch. And I can hear her Indian influence in her guitar playing. Bravo Maya!!!!!! 🇮🇳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That guitar was signed & gifted to her by no one less than Tool's guitarist Adam Jones in 2022!!! The deliberate wrong-footing with the sitar-like opening (Carnatic music), this taking the mickey out of the sari fueled expectations - masterful! And she even has the capacity to check every now and then how the audience is responding.
I Dunno...... Id like to see a birth certificate!!! Girl looks to be 15, 16 at best..... Size- Gargantuan.... Face- Way Older Than 10 years old 🤔🤔🤔🤔😜 All Y'all Sheeple are So Easily Duped its Crazy Funny 🤣😆
Hell to the yes and this was my comment!! I knew I recognized this young lady! When they asked her what her inspirations were for playing guitar, the first person she said was Adam Jones from T00L,, which is the band I'm obsessed with for 20 years and they are the greatest band in all of creation! There is nobody like them on the planet. I've seen them four times and that's not enough! I have seen her post many T00L guitar covers in the many T00L groups I'm in 9n Facebook, and that's how I recognized her! I can't wait for her other auditions cuz I know there's going to be a T00L song in there somewhere!!! She's amazing!! If you search your name the first thing that comes up is "7empest", which is a 15-minute tool song! 😮❤🎉
She is representative of a new world that is coming ahead of us. A fusion of many cultures and people - Asian, African, and of course European. We see this in many spheres from music to sports, and of course the tech world, science, etc. I am an old man now, and will not live to see it. But I envy the young people of today, who probably do not know the fantastic future that awaits humanity!
As a lifelong Tool fan, I’ve followed Maya’s journey through various Tool pages for quite some time now. So awesome to see this happen for her. Well deserved!
Saraswathi kataksham…me and my wife were moved to tears to see the endaro mahanabhavulu played by you ! Goddess Saraswathi grace flows through you to Bhaktas like us to see and experience! What a joy and privilege to see such beauty and grace of the goddess !!
Learning to play an instrument, learning traditional music at a very young age - typical Tamil tradition for few centuries. You can put a Tamilian in US, but the Tamil heart still beats inside.
why is this chick from West Philly crying listening to this??? I love seeing kids no matter where they are from being extraordinary, phenomenal, and dynamic. She is a phenom and absolute beauty in that dress shredding on the guitar. I ROCKS WITH MAYA 2024!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤🤘
My thoughts are Simon and the other 3 were so blown away with Maya’s performance that they all forgot to hit the golden buzzer! It was an off the chart performance. Cudos to Gary Holt and all the others for helping Maya prepare. Whatta stunning performance.
@@Stromzilla, I agree. The judges weren’t expecting this. They looked stunned. From soft Carnatic music intro to metal, the audience’s crazy reaction, some metal heads dancing. It was too much. Edit: another is that she is not American. A naturalized US citizen and it is fair since this is AGT fur a reason and giving golden buzzer on the first audition maybe for only US citizen. If dies good in the second round then she could get the golden buzzer. They gave golden for Prasnqa Mishra who sang Tina Turner song.
Oh I am glad they didn't. That would "box her in" to a stereotype. This is raw organic creativity. What this will evolve into may make AGT like a packet of marigold seeds into her journey.
Maya Neelakantan should be the winner if this year's AGT but unfortunately Howie likes to give his golden buzzer to these dance groups that never really go anywhere afterwards... Maya possesses a true talent and I pray that she wins this season!
@@blackhawk8678 You are ignorant as to what it takes to become reasonably proficient on an electric guitar. She definitley has talent. I preferred the melodic Classical Indian stuff at the beginning, but anyone with an aptitude and a few years concerted effort could do just what she did. Her efforts are comendable and worthy of praise. Too bad the dopey audience drowned out the details with thier knee-jerk cheers, as they always do.
Watched it over and over again.. still can’t get enough 😊😊the movement of ur finger and the timing 🫥🫨🫨🫡hats off!! 1:27 creates me goosebumps everytime I watch… ur an inspiration to many ppl….
Her picking technique is excellent. And those celestial slides from that guitar i.e. intro and mid piece with distortion. Awestruck, Indian classical music is really something, feels divine and melodic at the same time ❤
She is the new generation I believe she has the capacity to bring out the best in kids to be themselves and to not be afraid to be yourself. Love this girl, well done to mum & dad ❤️💪🏽
Hi Maya, Namaste from Bharat, Every time I make a commitment to myself to listen this only once (during my work break), I slip off and end up in listening at least 5 times. Needless to say first time I heard it for non stop 2 hours repeatedly. Amazing talent fantabulous. God Brahma and Saraswati made you on weekend. You will reach great height in Music
I love that she had some Indian sounding music at the beginning and then just SHREDDED! Love it!! @MayaNeelakantan, I loved your Sari, the colors are just beautiful!
Great comment-she is incredibly talented. However, that's a (wedding) Silk Lehenga, not a sari! Sorry, I wanted to clarify. A sari is a 20-22 foot rectangular piece of cotton (daily wear) or silk (party wear) fabric that is pleated, knotted, and draped in a complex way, and the draping style changes from region to region within India- which can take years to master.
She also got guitar gifted by Gary Holt and did jam session with him and he was in audience here and she has personal numbers to tool and slayer. She met testament and had session with them and she got to play along with CEO of Gibson and yes Gibson gifted her another guitar so she is a rising star and who's who of metal already found her . She has you tube page too let's subscribe to her and build up her channel
Never seen anything like this coming out from a 10 years old Guitar 🎸GuRU. Absolute honor and privilege to witness something so extraordinary like this…
Wow, Wow and wow!!!!! She is out of this world! She's right up there with the best guitar players I have ever listened to. Only 10 years old she has a great future ahead of her, she's beautiful and really rock's it, great way to start my morning I watched this clip four times and wish her the best, you go girl!!!
What a reinterpretation! Absolutely fantastic! It practically belongs to her. Look at her hands and fingers towards the end. That guitar brought out the best in her!
This is not your Last Resort this is just the beginning. You gave me Tears Of Happiness. This is some performance. I am sure all the Rock Gods will keep blessing you.
@MayaNeelakatan. I cannot get over that smile of absolute confidence. Its like you knew you were gonna blow the roof off the place. Keep rockin' Sistah.
I love how she's just standing still playing the Indian tune but as soon as the drumbeat kicks in she adopts the standard rocking back and forth and the head bob. Awesome
OMG you are too good dear . I am from Bangalore and have been in USA for over 25 years and am a guitarist from my college days. I can see your knowledge and creativity . You will go a long way dear Hemanth Kumar - USA- Michigan.
Clearly, Maya is a guitar-playing genius! Many guitar players spend decades mastering the guitar and still don't come close to the abilities that she displays at the tender age of 10! Even many professionals would be challenged to play with her combination of speed, fluidity, and abandon! She is an Indian Goddess with superstar stamped all over her - from head to foot! Immediately, Maya becomes one of the top pre-teen guitar players in the world! Why was there no AGT Golden Buzzer following this mind-boggling performance! Maya is light-years beyond virtually all of the Golden Buzzers these four judges have given this year! Maya should have immediately been put through to the live shows! Her abilities are breathtaking!
To the so called adults here throwing shade on her age! Maya just celebrated her 11th birthday. Thousands have been following her page since she was 7. Did your mothers not teach you manners.. If you have nothing good to say, then just shut up! Maya is a phenomenal kid and she is bright beyond her years!!!
I think that it is that she has such an amazing talent and a maturity that is unexpected that it inspires doubt. It is not every day that a 10 year old does this.
Some of us has to work twice as hard to keep the good energy in this world. What a fantastic performance! Much love from Sri Lanka . 😘🌸 Brilliant work Maya.
She's amazing nobody should be throwing shade!! People playing there entire life cant shred like that!! but if she's 11 then AGT lied because the show said she's 14 years old. And she definitely doesn't look 10 or 11
WOW!!!! Holey Sh-t!!!! HOLEY SH-T!!!! That girl is fantastic!!!! I played it 3 times ... amazing! She is going to be rich and famous forever and make a lot of people very happy. And to the Mom and Dad that allowed her to play .... good job ... you win the game of parenthood.
Great how she also made the guitar sound like the Veena the south Indian Carnatiic stringed instrument (not sitar btw) and blended it into rock! Kudos also to her teacher Prasanna well known Carnatic jazz musician
Very few are born with it. She is one of those very few. Absolutely blown away. It’s nice to see that there is still hope for heavy metal music and true musicians. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That initial Carnatic music intro was just ❤️. And I did hear some Carnatic slip in between as well. Ps: Carnatic music is South Indian classical music.
SHE IS AMAZING!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 this made me cry tears of joy and awe. She is an absolute baddie!!! So proud of her and can’t wait to see her thrive! Her family rocks too! 🤘🎸
I just love how much fun she's having! Look at the huge smile she has while she's playing! It's always fun seeing people doing what they love to do! Way to go!!!!
Loved the sitar style opening, and the knowing grin about what she had planned. Totally awesome. Would love to see her jam with Ellen Alaverdyan on bass.

As a rock god, I like Papa Roach
Yep, the Sitar style intro set it apart
Wait, so playing that song that well is common place for kids?
@@1Oreely But thats not much to set it apart. lol
veena style intro
I've played guitar for 45 years, that was awesome, the sitar/carnatic technique on electric guitar sounds amazing, she's a star❤❤❤
I posted this already on something but I still think it can be said here. I would love to hear her do a rendition with some of that style throughout the song. It fit so well and she really did rock it
Veena not sitar. The melodies of veena are infinitely better than sitar.
@@Wiintb Thanks for the clarification.

You can only release an album of covers if you pay the original artists heavily. Papa Roach definitely wouldn't mind the payday
Spot on
Absolutely agree with this comment!! I'll be watching for her for sure
True
The 21st century is India’s century🔥
her beautiful and elegant Indian outfit was a decoy. she shredded.
Absolutely don't judge a book by it's cover... this statement stands true for many auditions on AGT and many similar shows.
I've been following her for a bit, she listens to and plays to Slayer and Slipknot. Not what you'd expect and I'm all for it!
This young lady made Lemmy sit back up and applaud. 🤝🤝
Yea, a poor boy in an African country, a traditionally dressed Indian girl, an Iranian immigrant boy, an introvert Chinese boy in Stanford - it's time we all keep the stereotypes aside and focus on the talent.

Absolutely brilliant . I loved everything about her 😊

Dude it's a child . What a weird take away
Man she slayed with absolute bliss..
10 years old shredding like that GOLDEN BUZZER WORTHY !!!
GB comes only when they align with something out of their alignment ..
the veena-like sounds from that guitar made all the difference - alternating between hard-rock and soft indian -veena strummings - just wow
Exactly....
That can only bharathian do it
Veena underrated and needs more appreciation
Underrated now because of the technology tbh. Back in da day Veena was a major instrument for Indians@@mtk3755
That's basically a Tool song and she said Tool guitarist as the inspiration.
Being a listener of Carnatic music and Carnatic fusion and a huge fan of Papa Roach, watching this was a blissful moment for me. Way to go Maya
Guitar lovers got teared up, blissed out and playing the clip in loop. Others are discussing her age.
True
I play the first 20 seconds repeatedly, not into hard rock myself.
True that😂
WHEN OLD ENOUGH CAN JOIN A FAMOUS BAND
HOSPITAL ROOM I AM IN ARE ROCKING TO HER RIGHT NOW.
Let me Tell you Something....This Wasn,t Audition....This was a Proper Performance.Hats Off 🎸🎸🔥🔥
She’s a baby. 10!!!! She will grow up to be one of the greatest guitarists of her time.
I agree pure raw talent she is more than a diamond in the rough. She just needs some touch up and she is be a huge a slash and Jeff beck.
Obviously child prodigy. They do things that normal people can’t do that even spending lifetime on it.
She's actually 14 according to AGT. None the less, Amazing talent!!
@@ConditionZero76😂😂😂😂Liar
She’s 11 now,was 10 at the time of auditions.Check her RUclips channel in case you doubt her age
Thats not an audition, that was a Rockstar performance ❤.

She’s very young & very talented guitarist. She’s got great future in the music industry.
I'm crying!! She is a QUEEN!!!! Thank you baby girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how she's just standing still playing the Indian tune but as soon as the drumbeat kicks in she adopts the standard rocking back and forth and the head bob. Awesome
She deserved a golden buzzer… Too gooood! 🎉
OMG you are too good dear .
I am from Bangalore and have been in USA for over 25 years and am a guitarist from my college days. I can see your knowledge and creativity .
You will go a long way dear

And an Indian Rock Goddess was born!
As shree Ananad Mahindra said goddess from the land of goddesses. She is on next level
Everyone should start following her. She's really got it. Congrats Maya.
The fusion of Indian classical and Western hard rock.....is extremely interesting . Always loved the genre.
🤘🏼
Clearly, Maya is a guitar-playing genius! Many guitar players spend decades mastering the guitar and still don't come close to the abilities that she displays at the tender age of 10! Even many professionals would be challenged to play with her combination of speed, fluidity, and abandon! She is an Indian Goddess with superstar stamped all over her - from head to foot! Immediately, Maya becomes one of the top pre-teen guitar players in the world! Why was there no AGT Golden Buzzer following this mind-boggling performance! Maya is light-years beyond virtually all of the Golden Buzzers these four judges have given this year! Maya should have immediately been put through to the live shows! Her abilities are breathtaking!
To the so called adults here throwing shade on her age! Maya just celebrated her 11th birthday. Thousands have been following her page since she was 7.
Did your mothers not teach you manners.. If you have nothing good to say, then just shut up!
Maya is a phenomenal kid and she is bright beyond her years!!!
Well said. 👍
I think that it is that she has such an amazing talent and a maturity that is unexpected that it inspires doubt. It is not every day that a 10 year old does this.
Some of us has to work twice as hard to keep the good energy in this world.
What a fantastic performance! Much love from Sri Lanka . 😘🌸
Brilliant work Maya.
She's amazing nobody should be throwing shade!! People playing there entire life cant shred like that!! but if she's 11 then AGT lied because the show said she's 14 years old. And she definitely doesn't look 10 or 11
Have you seen Tina S play when she was younger?
I only wish my brother were alive to share this with...incredible!!❤
Your brother is here in sprit. 💕
He is watching from heaven ❤
She is not just talented, she is also Gifted. 🙏
Oups!! She's very beautiful and angelic, she got talent better than thousands of today's singers.

I listened this video during two hours this is a real masterpiece.
Awesome @mayaNeelakantan.
WOW!!!! Holey Sh-t!!!! HOLEY SH-T!!!! That girl is fantastic!!!! I played it 3 times ... amazing! She is going to be rich and famous forever and make a lot of people very happy. And to the Mom and Dad that allowed her to play .... good job ... you win the game of parenthood.
Listening it 10th time to yet to understand the beginning.
she would be wasting her time in front of books if she was in india.thank god they went to america😂
“allowed”? Encouraged.. her dad is a rock guitarist himself
I only have one word for her performance- WOW!!!!!
More than 50 times watched her performance it’s incredible & awesome she rocks the floor completely 🔥🔥🔥😊👌👌!!!
Best guitar solo I’ve heard in a very long time!! Rock & Roll FOREVER!!! 🤟🏼❤️
I keep watching this over and over. Way to go Maya! 🤘🏼🎸🥰
Great how she also made the guitar sound like the Veena the south Indian Carnatiic stringed instrument (not sitar btw) and blended it into rock! Kudos also to her teacher Prasanna well known Carnatic jazz musician
Blend of Carnatic and Western music as well as a blend of Instruments like Veena(i) and Guitar..
What a talent ..😍😍😍😍
Gary Holt! Heck yeah!🤘
There is hope in our youth! Makes this old man happy! Keep it up young lady!
The music is a great fusion of Carnatic and Western rock.
This girl has a great future.
Very few are born with it. She is one of those very few. Absolutely blown away. It’s nice to see that there is still hope for heavy metal music and true musicians. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
An old soul 💕
That initial Carnatic music intro was just ❤️. And I did hear some Carnatic slip in between as well. Ps: Carnatic music is South Indian classical music.
If "Keep rocking" has a face, it's you Maya. Keep smiling 👸👸
perfect fusion music - the metal and the Indian notes.. pure magic! proud Indian here! you go Maya!
As her name reflects she is Maya.
She deserved the Golden Buzzer,Like i would have pressed it 100%
SHE IS AMAZING!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 this made me cry tears of joy and awe. She is an absolute baddie!!! So proud of her and can’t wait to see her thrive! Her family rocks too! 🤘🎸
She is a big winner. A great career awaits her. Blessings ❤😊
I just love how much fun she's having! Look at the huge smile she has while she's playing! It's always fun seeing people doing what they love to do! Way to go!!!!
Maya is like that all the time. Very exceptional young girl.
Being an Indian, a metalhead and a big Papa Roach fan this brings a smile on my face everytime I watch it.
*SHE TOTALLY SHREDDED THAT GUITAR!!* 🤘
She could pick any band in the world right now and go on tour with them.
This is fantastic! You never know what you’ll find on America’s got talent!!! and she’s 10 years old unbelievable!
She’s really tall for a 10 year old ❤❤😊😊
she is not ten
@@Susie-xn1opbro is ten
How beautifuly she combined Indian classical music and rock music. Bravo girl hope to see you at great heights in the future ❤
Loved the sitar style opening, and the knowing grin about what she had planned. Totally awesome. Would love to see her jam with Ellen Alaverdyan on bass.
Maya so proud of you dost!! 🦚 And Indian classical chords in beginning were just wow .
Stevie Ray Vaughn and Randy Rhodes would be so so very happy right now to hear this young lady and she will he on their level when she gets older
The bit in the beginning sounded like a prayer...followed by something, any Guitarist would be proud off!
Metal and Carnatic combination cannot get better than this.
