I've been playing guitar for 25 years. Not just playing, but studying the best guitarists I could find, and I have to say: that lady has the BEST picking technique I've ever seen. Her wrist looks like a freaking wet noodle. EXTREMELY impressive technique!!!
All those people in the comments on stream being like "no passion this" "no passion that" - anyone who can pull this off at that level has passion. Bar none.

Much respect for this person. She slayed it.
@@heroe1486 which just means the audience has to feel like they can project themselves onto your sound and feel their own dang feelings emotions are never transferred into your music, that's not how empathy works
I mean, the music itself as she plays it is full of passion. People who say shit like this think an argument isn't convincing unless someone is angry. Just listen to her if you can't see her passion (I sure can). Tell me after just listening that it doesn't have passion. I'll be waiting. Yes, there are lots of studio musicians who can cover and somehow remove the soul from things, but this is definitely not one of those cases. There isn't a piece she's covered that isn't as impassioned as the original itself, which is why people love her.

This is just incredible. Equally incredible is just how down-to-earth Herman Li is.

@@0ParisFrance I think that things just come more easily for Tina S than they do for 99.99999% of the people. Combine that with classical training and hard work and that's why she can play Jason Becker and Dragonforce flawlessly and seem bored. Everyday there is someone on RUclips that impresses you more than anyone that you've ever seen before in your entire life I would still have to say that Tina S is in the top 5 or 10 most impressive people I have ever seen in any genre on any instrument of any time period in my life and I have been playing guitar for 40 years.
I think Tina S's purpose was just to demonstrate her technical virtuosity for fun. She wasn't fronting a band in these videos as a young teenager. She's clearly mastered many techniques of many outstanding metal players and does it so effortlessly. That's called doing your homework. As of 2023 she's in a band, Spin Twice, and is doing her own thing with this knowledge and expertise.
Maybe. I think you're on the right track at least. She's not showing off, or trying to become famous, or anything like that. My take would be that she loves the challenge, pure and simple. For some musicians those 2nd latency years (12-16 or so) can be another acceleration of improvement. For the truly talented and dedicated it can become a bit of an addiction. Imagine if every other time you sat down to practice you were already better than before? You know mountaineers were asked "Why did you climb it when it was so difficult?" "Because it was there". Something like that happens with artistic talent, particularly in music (which has mathematical and memory elements as well as technique and emotionality). My guess is, if you asked her why she did it she'd say "My teacher was cool and it was a challenge, so I tried it".
"with this knowledge and expertise." Not at all. Her band plays forgettable mush like a million other highschool garage bands over the last 50 years. What a shame and waste of talent.
@@lucianadatalab she left playing.. plus she also got negative comments.. like her videos are sped up.. honestly it looks like that but who knows the reality
And the fact that she’s playing it, so calm, cool and collective like it’s just another day at the office and there’s even times during that solo when she’s ripping the fuck out of it she’s not even looking at the guitar and she’s also chewing gum while shredding and she was wet 15 when she made this I’m sorry, but that’s impressive. No matter what anybody says. She’s one of the best damn guitarist female that I’ve ever seen and she’s up there with some of the best male guitar players to and to say that and I’ve heard a lot of a guitar player shred and I know a lot about metal and I’ll tell you dude she’s very awesome to listen to.
For him to say that I believe he really means if he doesn’t wanna play that song anymore he knows who to call and you absolutely crushed it. I mean this girl shreds the guitar like I’ve never seen and I believe she was 15 in this video. my word, this girl can play.
This girl is a MONSTER! She took a song that most people can't even play and made it heavier, not even looking at her fretboard most of the time! I hope she's still playing!
If Herman can get Tina to play a jam with him I officially would anoint him as a social media master. Please come back Tina, even just to hang out and chat.
Damn imagine having the man that wrote and plays a complex piece of music and his response is Fuck she nailed it...Tina is one of the best guitarist Ive heard so technically perfect
The fact that Herman is honest enough to admit that Tina killed it speaks for itself. She basically played both Herman and Sam's riff at the same time. That is incredible and people who play the guitar can explain it much better than me. Amazing performance.
She wasnt playing both riffs at the same time. She was splitting both riffs evenly basically to even it out. You can't play 2 solos at once. She combined parts of both and incorporated them into different segments. She didn't do both of their entire solos. Not taking anything away from her shes an amazing guitarist but not better than Herman li or a few others in the world rn.
@@dominicg3316 Agreed. You explained it a lot better than I did. That is what I was trying to say. True there's no way in a hot place she could play both at the same time.
Dude, the fact you're willing to chill/play music with this girl says as much about your character as it does her amazing cover. World needs more people (and musicians) like you.
I love how everyone still talks about and follows Tina even though she hasn't made a video for ages now that's how much of a force and a talented guitar player she is. 🤘🏻💖
Of course we talk about her, and wish that she come back after 5 or 6 yrs. Only one person, who is spreading false information about her death and I’m telling the name or internet name. It’s RUclips Investigation. And I don’t have a suspicious mind, but if she is really dead, that person should be interrogated by the French Police. He tells, that he lives close to her home, and what is more interesting, other comments he said she is studying in a university. But more suspicious is, he said, “ Tina don’t have a clue how to make a video about her playing. “ So, who got the money for all her videos????
So nice to see his smile grow as he listens before he starts nodding. He is really enjoying this young gal perfectly playing his song. She truly impressed him! Respect to Herman Li, both for his reaction, and how he reacts to "illegal" use of their right to the song. You are truly a great guitar hero and a icon to look up to! Cheers form Norway!
I’ve been a casual dragon force fan for a good long while but never really listened to an interview, or heard them talk until now. Herman has to be one of the most down to earth artists out there. All class, respect, and genuine smiles while watching her rip it. Rock on brother!
Bravo Herman, that’s a great attitude, too bad others are so insecure or greedy, you are a great supporter, role model for the next generation, Bravo!!!😃👍
Tina is a perfect example of how you don't have to look passionate to be passionate about something. There is no way to be that good at something without being passionate about it
She wanted to play the guitar to imited her brother. She don't care about musicians, songs, bands, she doesn't want to talk to them and meet them. It is only the technique, the prowess, the virtuosity, the challenge that interests her.
@INVESTIGATION no its not. She literally has a fb page and she loves bands and songs and is passionate about guitar. You're comment is irrelevant and incorrect on top of it

@@mememaster8050 if an intelligent people practiced and a not so intelligent practiced in the same way,the same time, the same technique, do you think they will have the same result?
To all the people talking bout her expressions, she is just focussed and thinking ahead while listening to the song. Wanna see them ppl play it like this
It really is funny looking at people's expressions when they're focused. People always comment on how 'serious' I look when I'm concentrating. I'm just trying to thread a needle, not thinking on how to solve world hunger. Lol
She created her own personal society for musical editing and recording (look at wikipedia in french).. I don't know if it means that she is preparing a come back with her own stuff.. Who knows??
I love that he was so genuinely impressed by the solos. The genuine appreciation of someone mocking the guitar solos he made is just pure artistic love. Fantastic to see a professional guitarist who is in the OG band appreciate and love the cover so much.
She wasn't mocking him she was showing him respect that she chose his song to learn it takes a long time to perfect a song of that magnitude it takes like 2 years

@@PaulMcElligott Thx for the advice Paul...I had several running battles with him but realised a while back that he was a troll spouting BS, so he went onto my ignore list .
This review is top drawer!...I totally agree with you. I reckon some of these artists are prima donnas...Herman isn't. He's total class here. Eg..Bonamassa is a great guitarist, but a bit of an egostistical arsehole. He couldn't post a reaction to one of his tracks like this...not that Tina would play his stuff, because it's way too easy for her ha!...😏
i love herman's reaction to "that sounds illegal" "yes... it is. but also it's the internet, so it doesn't really matter lmao... and if you wana do it too? DO IT. DOWNLOAD IT. POST IT. HAVE SOME FUN."
Lmao he aint getting a dime from you buying the songs off amazon or apple music. Its the big corps that keep most of revenue, so yeah download it illegal no fks given. But go to concerts and buy merch at live events! Even donation to patreon or twitch and youtube is better.
I am pretty sure that many artists understand that restreaming and republishing of their work is a very efficient and very cheap promotion. Publishers, on the other hand, seem to be a little behind on that... At this point, if a publisher sells a license to someone to use copyrighted music as background, let's say while live streaming a game for 10 thousand viewers, that is literally free promotion, and it has a community aspect which makes it a lot more efficient. This kind of thing should be commonplace nowadays.
I always end up watching this video after I watch her original one. The one thing that brings higher joy than watching her absolutely shred is seeing his amazement and appreciation for it. It's raw and honest and I wish the world at large were exposed to more content like it.
TINA interview : "Even if on my videos I seem, as many say, to be bored, it's quite the opposite. I am super concentrated (focused), deeply into the solo !"
Dude she wasn't FOCUSED! She wasn't even looking at the fretboard half the time! It was too EASY for her. She literally needs more challenging material, and by that I mean, stuff that requires more FEELING. Try truly nailing some SRV or something more esoteric.
It's actually really easy to look bored when playing super technical stuff like this because you have to practice it so many times that by the time you can play it consistently live, it's about as boring and automatic as tying your shoes or brushing your teeth.
She has mad respect for your playing when she put so much into mastering your song. Herman you're truly an inspiration and the most bad ass gentleman I've ever seen. Keep it up brother, you make the world a better place.
She’s got that look....that look....like “now that I’ve got my fingers warmed up a bit what do you want me to flex on??” She’s just friggin awesome....
@Mable's Fatal Fable It's funny that people have gotten so good at playing that Altitudes is no longer impressive, even if it wasn't sloppy. "Look look, Jason Becker one of the bes..." "BORING!!!"
I’ve been watching her videos since I was 16 in high school. I’m going on 25 now and I still come back and rewatch this video specifically and the Vivaldi cover. She is just so damn talented ❤️🖤❤️💃🏽

I had not seen that cover, and I was totally blown away. What an honor it must be for someone as accomplished at guitar as li to see something you wrote just absolutely shredded so thoroughly. She might not have shown a lot of passion in her posture or body language but it damn sure came through in the audio. Great video and great reaction.

Tina S is a legend! Her classical guitar tracks (Beethoven/Paganini) are insane.
Where is Tina??? 🤟🎸❤
@@lucianadatalab she left playing.. plus she also got negative comments.. like her videos are sped up.. honestly it looks like that but who knows the reality
Only people who don't play would say that
Dude, I love this guy! Right out the gate, "You guys better be nice! Be friendly! Don't be a prick!"
What a fucking LEGEND!
Yet there were still people negging her
“i know who to call when i dont want to play that song anymore.” - hard to impress the great Herman Li but this girl nailed it..
hey
And the fact that she’s playing it, so calm, cool and collective like it’s just another day at the office and there’s even times during that solo when she’s ripping the fuck out of it she’s not even looking at the guitar and she’s also chewing gum while shredding and she was wet 15 when she made this I’m sorry, but that’s impressive. No matter what anybody says. She’s one of the best damn guitarist female that I’ve ever seen and she’s up there with some of the best male guitar players to and to say that and I’ve heard a lot of a guitar player shred and I know a lot about metal and I’ll tell you dude she’s very awesome to listen to.
@@jamesmorris5937 hey
For him to say that I believe he really means if he doesn’t wanna play that song anymore he knows who to call and you absolutely crushed it. I mean this girl shreds the guitar like I’ve never seen and I believe she was 15 in this video. my word, this girl can play.
@@jamesmorris5937 hey
This girl is a MONSTER! She took a song that most people can't even play and made it heavier, not even looking at her fretboard most of the time! I hope she's still playing!
She went off for like 7 years and has returned like a week ago. With her own band!
@@OlaffLudwigThat is so dope! I NEED to check that out!
Do you like it? I pretty much don't..@@kevgmei
If Herman can get Tina to play a jam with him I officially would anoint him as a social media master. Please come back Tina, even just to hang out and chat.
Damn imagine having the man that wrote and plays a complex piece of music and his response is Fuck she nailed it...Tina is one of the best guitarist Ive heard so technically perfect
Take a Look at her other videos! She is god tier
Hope she comes back to youtube, she really is on another level
Her rendition of the moonlight Sonataa, third movement is one of my favourite pieces.
Hello from England, I'm a 77 yr old guitarist. When you see and listen to Tina S you are watching and hearing the best guitar player on this planet.
Ahahahah ahahah 😅😂😆
And the legend of Tina S grows even more
"I know who to call if I don't want to play that song anymore" - might be the best compliment you can get from the original artist...
The fact that Herman is honest enough to admit that Tina killed it speaks for itself. She basically played both Herman and Sam's riff at the same time. That is incredible and people who play the guitar can explain it much better than me. Amazing performance.
She wasnt playing both riffs at the same time. She was splitting both riffs evenly basically to even it out. You can't play 2 solos at once. She combined parts of both and incorporated them into different segments. She didn't do both of their entire solos. Not taking anything away from her shes an amazing guitarist but not better than Herman li or a few others in the world rn.
@@dominicg3316
Agreed. You explained it a lot better than I did. That is what I was trying to say. True there's no way in a hot place she could play both at the same time.
It's official: Herman Li plays guitar like a 15-year-old girl
😂
Это не так работает ) он придумал а она повторила это другое .
🤣🤣🤣
He created, she replicated two completely different things. But respect to them both.
I lol'd
"Playing a cover is not about playing note for note"
Covering Songs 101....very solid teaching
Dude, the fact you're willing to chill/play music with this girl says as much about your character as it does her amazing cover. World needs more people (and musicians) like you.
I love how everyone still talks about and follows Tina even though she hasn't made a video for ages now that's how much of a force and a talented guitar player she is. 🤘🏻💖
Of course we talk about her, and wish that she come back after 5 or 6 yrs. Only one person, who is spreading false information about her death and I’m telling the name or internet name. It’s RUclips Investigation. And I don’t have a suspicious mind, but if she is really dead, that person should be interrogated by the French Police. He tells, that he lives close to her home, and what is more interesting, other comments he said she is studying in a university. But more suspicious is, he said, “ Tina don’t have a clue how to make a video about her playing. “ So, who got the money for all her videos????
She will comeback. Trust
She is indeed studying at university. Still got a little bit to go. No one knows if she'll go for a music career though.
i miss her very much.
Not exactly what I'd call active, but she still plays guitar for a channel called Mellifluous Harmony
So nice to see his smile grow as he listens before he starts nodding. He is really enjoying this young gal perfectly playing his song. She truly impressed him! Respect to Herman Li, both for his reaction, and how he reacts to "illegal" use of their right to the song. You are truly a great guitar hero and a icon to look up to! Cheers form Norway!
I’ve been a casual dragon force fan for a good long while but never really listened to an interview, or heard them talk until now. Herman has to be one of the most down to earth artists out there. All class, respect, and genuine smiles while watching her rip it. Rock on brother!
When Herman Li says “she killed it!” WOW! Impressive.
He’s not going to say otherwise. Why would he crush a fan’s soul?
"We were still cool back in 2015"
Bro you guys are still cool in 2022. I listen to you all the time. By far my top favorite guitar associated band.
One of the best covers of TTFAF I've ever heard, its taken me 8 years to find this! I really hope Tina is still making music!
Bravo Herman, that’s a great attitude, too bad others are so insecure or greedy, you are a great supporter, role model for the next generation, Bravo!!!😃👍
Love how impressed he was by the solo!
The "she killed it" is one hell of a praise!
Tina is a perfect example of how you don't have to look passionate to be passionate about something. There is no way to be that good at something without being passionate about it
She wanted to play the guitar to imited her brother. She don't care about musicians, songs, bands, she doesn't want to talk to them and meet them. It is only the technique, the prowess, the virtuosity, the challenge that interests her.
@INVESTIGATION no its not. She literally has a fb page and she loves bands and songs and is passionate about guitar. You're comment is irrelevant and incorrect on top of it
@@0ParisFrance and you heard that from whom?
@@athmaid Elle a été invitée par Pink Floyd et elle a refusé de les rencontrer. Elle a été invitée par Van Halen et elle a refusé de le rencontrer. Elle a été invitée par Herman LI et Dragonforce et elle a refusé de les rencontrer et de leur répondre. Elle a été invitée par Dream Theater et elle ne voulait pas les rencontrer, c'est son frère Sacha qui a insisté pour qu'elle vienne avec lui au concert au Zénith à Paris.
@@dominicg3316 Tina a refusé toutes les invitations, elle a refusé de jouer sur scène, même dans son école, même à la Fête de la Musique dans sa ville tous les ans, elle a refusé toutes les invitations à la télévision !
Always makes me emotional witnessing someone so young with so much talent.
She is so extremely talented
It's not talent bro it's skill. She had a passion and put the work in to get good.
@@caelan5301 she has both talent and skills, there are people that can easily pick up what they learn and she is one of them, there are people that even practice everyday cant get to this level because their capability to absorb knowledge is not the same from talented people
@@debuhokontra2006 Capability to absorb knowledge is called intelligence bro, not talent. Talent is maybe the predisposition someone has onto something, but it barely affects the success. Practice and hard work always works on long-term, never disappoints.
@@mememaster8050 if an intelligent people practiced and a not so intelligent practiced in the same way,the same time, the same technique, do you think they will have the same result?
@@debuhokontra2006 Nope, intelligent people learn things quicker, as I said.
To all the people talking bout her expressions, she is just focussed and thinking ahead while listening to the song. Wanna see them ppl play it like this
It really is funny looking at people's expressions when they're focused.
People always comment on how 'serious' I look when I'm concentrating. I'm just trying to thread a needle, not thinking on how to solve world hunger. Lol
Maybe sometimes a face of concentration. But it's for the most time it's thinking it's like a sport. That kind of face
She's unreal, I love her cover and watched it hundreds of times. Hope she comes back to posting covers in the future
She has almost a million people waiting on her.
She created her own personal society for musical editing and recording (look at wikipedia in french).. I don't know if it means that she is preparing a come back with her own stuff.. Who knows??
She is in college but still playing and says once finished with school that she will be back.
@@MrMan_47 Pure invention!!
she died already
I love that he was so genuinely impressed by the solos. The genuine appreciation of someone mocking the guitar solos he made is just pure artistic love. Fantastic to see a professional guitarist who is in the OG band appreciate and love the cover so much.
She wasn't mocking him she was showing him respect that she chose his song to learn it takes a long time to perfect a song of that magnitude it takes like 2 years
I couldn't help noticing that all of her critics in the live feed fell silent after you complimented her.
Sheep…
sadly that's twitch with an established artist/player in a nutshell.
@@JonHowardPhotos That sounds like something a sheep would say.
THAT is what truly makes you a badass. You WANT to see what people can do with your songs.
She's a beast prodigy!! Sad it's been a half decade since I've seen a Tina S notification!! :-( Hope you bring her back!!! \m/
You showed me you really are a class act with this reaçtion to Tina s and also your helping a fellow artist in his time of need. Thank you Mr. Li!
Tina's hands: playing one of the fastest songs on guitar.
Tina's face: what will I have for dinner?
She doesn't want to ruin her pretty face
Always have much respect for artists who appreciate others doing covers of their music. She definitely shreds on a difficult song.
I love how haters in the chat say she plays it wrong or bad but Herman Li praise her performance and says she nailed it xD.
well, but on one point they're right: It's speed up.
@@TheKartoffel101 She has never needed that.
@@homere-d-allaure true but the video is still speed up

Really we need her comeback now

Hard to watch this and not come away loving both Herman and Tina. Pure class.
When his eyes get really big from time to time you can tell he’s impressed. Love her… she nailed it!!!
Herman a class act ,love how he silenced the ones dogging her for not playing this cover note for note,Herman is right about making it your own
What's amazing 3%, is how many new posts we're are seeing after 4 years of no activity. This Herman reaction is brilliant...Thx Herman! If she appears on RUclips again, it'll go crazy!!

It must feel great to see that your music inspired such talented young people like Tina.
Herman Li is awesome. Don’t see a lot of famous guitarists that interact like he does. What a Boss.
Herman Li is a true artist. And a true gentleman with no ego.
This review is top drawer!...I totally agree with you. I reckon some of these artists are prima donnas...Herman isn't. He's total class here. Eg..Bonamassa is a great guitarist, but a bit of an egostistical arsehole. He couldn't post a reaction to one of his tracks like this...not that Tina would play his stuff, because it's way too easy for her ha!...😏
@@tonycarroll7925 I share that sentiment
Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Steve Vai, Petrucci from Dream Theater also congratulated and invited Tina for her covers, they are genlemen.
@@tonycarroll7925 I would say he has a big ego but in a healthy not toxic way ^^
i love herman's reaction to "that sounds illegal"
"yes... it is. but also it's the internet, so it doesn't really matter lmao... and if you wana do it too? DO IT. DOWNLOAD IT. POST IT. HAVE SOME FUN."
now thats what i like to hear from a songwriter
Lmao he aint getting a dime from you buying the songs off amazon or apple music. Its the big corps that keep most of revenue, so yeah download it illegal no fks given. But go to concerts and buy merch at live events! Even donation to patreon or twitch and youtube is better.
Great to hear an established artist say that. Helping other musicians rather than trying to grab every penny possible.
And then Tina S video got copyright claimed :D
I am pretty sure that many artists understand that restreaming and republishing of their work is a very efficient and very cheap promotion.
Publishers, on the other hand, seem to be a little behind on that... At this point, if a publisher sells a license to someone to use copyrighted music as background, let's say while live streaming a game for 10 thousand viewers, that is literally free promotion, and it has a community aspect which makes it a lot more efficient. This kind of thing should be commonplace nowadays.
I have personally listened to her playing this at least 100 times through the years. I couldn’t believe how young she was at the time.
the solo is better than the original.... insane super talent...
I hope so much that she hears and accepts your invitation! That would be great. A lot of people miss her very much.
"She was vibing out kind of like a... soul artist, but shredding the shit out of that guitar" . Love that line
I never heard of Tina S before but now I'm in awe of her. Well done young lady! I'm impressed.
I always end up watching this video after I watch her original one. The one thing that brings higher joy than watching her absolutely shred is seeing his amazement and appreciation for it. It's raw and honest and I wish the world at large were exposed to more content like it.
She s not bored she’s focused , people saying she lakes feelings don’t know shit about music.
Thank you, finally someone who understands Tina !
Yeah it's not always candy and rainbows
TINA interview : "Even if on my videos I seem, as many say, to be bored, it's quite the opposite. I am super concentrated (focused), deeply into the solo !"
Dude she wasn't FOCUSED! She wasn't even looking at the fretboard half the time! It was too EASY for her. She literally needs more challenging material, and by that I mean, stuff that requires more FEELING. Try truly nailing some SRV or something more esoteric.
@@DeadRingerMachine When I drive my car, I don't look at my hands and feet either !! And I'm not a racing driver though !!
I love his expressions as she nailed the solo.
Very classy - Herman Li is a gentleman and a scholar.
Tina S is an absolute phenomenon. I can't fathom having her skills. She absolutely killed that cover. Incredible and wonderful. VERY well played.
People talking about her passion don't think about the passion it takes to practice this enough to play it this well.
obviously she practices hard, and consistently because shes passionate bro
It's hard to put passion into playing something you didn't write. It's a cover. It will be great to see her playing her own stuff someday 🤘
SHE FAKED IT.
@@cfh4201969 Moronic boomer take, bud.
i was thinking exactly this as i was watching. it takes a lot of passion to dedicate yourself to something like this. not everyone can do this!

I won't be surprised if she's engaged and is thinking more about motherhood and leaving her guitars in the attic.
:(
Unfortunately she died last year 😢
@@AlexJ.77 she died????
@@AlexJ.77 prove it.
@@AlexJ.77 She didn't die, she just quit the channel and decided to focus on college
I love how she manages to play stuff like this and look totally bored.
Dude why do I keep seeing you in comment sections
I bet her warmups are faster than this
My guess is she had been practicing it many times in a row.
It's actually really easy to look bored when playing super technical stuff like this because you have to practice it so many times that by the time you can play it consistently live, it's about as boring and automatic as tying your shoes or brushing your teeth.
I'm sure Herman has to pretend he's excited when he plays it live.
You can tell how much she has grinded by her rough her hands and fingers are 🥲 Talent and hard work!
She has mad respect for your playing when she put so much into mastering your song. Herman you're truly an inspiration and the most bad ass gentleman I've ever seen. Keep it up brother, you make the world a better place.
She’s got that look....that look....like “now that I’ve got my fingers warmed up a bit what do you want me to flex on??” She’s just friggin awesome....
Talking about Jason Becker, her cover of the song Altitudes is brillant
That was the first song I heard from her! Then this, then Moonlight 3. She is very brilliant. I wonder what she's doing nowadays
An absolutely amazing cover by her. She nails every song she does
@Mable's Fatal Fable Do your version, i'll wait
@Mable's Fatal Fable It's funny that people have gotten so good at playing that Altitudes is no longer impressive, even if it wasn't sloppy. "Look look, Jason Becker one of the bes..." "BORING!!!"
@@gregmoldovan5921 She hasn't put out a video in a long time. I think she decided to go to college if I'm not mistaken. From what I've heard at least.
I’ve been watching her videos since I was 16 in high school. I’m going on 25 now and I still come back and rewatch this video specifically and the Vivaldi cover. She is just so damn talented ❤️🖤❤️💃🏽
They say it's difficult to walk and chew gum at the same time. This girl slays a Dragonforce solo, chews gum, and makes mental note of her grocery list all at the same time.
Except that the song is difficult and that she mixed 4 takes !!

Love this guy's attitude to people covering his songs.
2 weeks ago??? Made me slightly tear up. Im glad to see Dragonforce guitarist so lively and engaged with his own community.
He's streaming on twitch regularly 👌🏻
Lmfao it’s the “I know who to call if I don’t Wanna play that song anymore” 😂😂
Yeah but she wont answer, remember? Lol
Pretty arrogant, as if Tina was on call. Subtle put down.
I have commented a few times through the years. And every time I watch it. The more impressed I am with you being such a kind man. Thank you for the example you set. Best of times to you and those you love.
She absolutely killed this solo back to its grandparents. Herman's reaction says it all...
She plays Beethoven's ''Moonlight sonata'' 3rd movement killing that guitar and you cant believe she nails that...
Oui ! et que dire de ses couvertures de Vai et Becker ! Ce qu'elle nous a montré à travers ses videos, c'est son aptitude ahurissante à capter le jeu de guitare d'artistes légendaires... qui l'ont d'ailleurs félicitée ! Alors, de petits chafoins boutonneux et frustrés n'ont que l'argument de montage video truqué pour déverser leur critique et leur bile.. Pitoyable.
Watching this gave me goose bumps and chills. Wow she is a Guitar Goddess.
I had not seen that cover, and I was totally blown away. What an honor it must be for someone as accomplished at guitar as li to see something you wrote just absolutely shredded so thoroughly. She might not have shown a lot of passion in her posture or body language but it damn sure came through in the audio. Great video and great reaction.
You can't learn this song and play it so amazingly good without passion, she just doesn't express it like most people.
I loved Herman's reaction. He seems like a very chill honest dude. I hope Tina S comes on your twitch one day.
Your attitude in this video is awesome, you got a new fan. Oh and holy crap, dude, you're a guitar god. That young lady is amazing.
I love he was just like "oh fuck...." after hearing that solo lol.. that's the stamp of approval right there
That's when you know you nailed the solo, that face of pure amazement from Herman is pure bliss. :D
