At absolutely no point in this video did you embarrass yourself. You should be proud of how far you have come.
You are so lovely
Absolutely!
Absolutely!
Turned into an absolute monster 14/15 yrs of age 😎👍
Yeah 👍
Congrats! Stick-to-it-ness is something most don't stick to.
I'm 57 years old and I've been playing guitar since 1987. From a technical perspective, Sophie can play rings around me. The best thing about this montage is the clips that show her playing with a metronome. That's serious practice. Serious practice brings serious results. She starts playing at 9, and by the time she's 21, she's a shredder. Sophie, you are very talented, but what this video demonstrates most is the effort. Simply: The practice. You're an amazing player, and you obviously worked very hard to get there. Well deserved!
She isn't talented she's hard working and you're not. You wasted decades noodling around like most instead of targeting goals and working towards them with a metronome and now you pretend everyone who is better than you is more talented or whatever.
@@chrisking6695 You’re a sad individual.
@@chrisking6695 bruh did u even read his comment
@@chrisking6695 Hey buddy, I hope u release that other people have things they do in there lives. Besides you totally missed the context of his comment. You are a total ******.
I'm 53 to been playing for decades,Sophie plays circles around me to,I hope she gets a good gig with successful band so all her dedication pays off,if she writes her own tunes best of luck,she is outstanding,
I was also 9 when I started playing guitar then piano at 11. Now at 65 I totally suck after putting them down. I blame long work hours and raising a daughter by myself. You’ve inspired me to pick it up again. Played every so often and still know my chords but finger tips have gone soft.
Play every day for a week or 2 and the calluses will come back soon enough 😜
I'm only 27 but took a 5+ year break because of work. Got sick, had surgery, and been at home for a year so I picked it back up. The first few weeks were a grind, and my fingers even bled a little, but it was the best decision I've made since I've been off
Git it back...we can. I'm 72 and lost it thru developing essential tremors in my left hand. Now am determined to restore some of what I had thru diciplined scale work with the metronome. It can be done. This lady is complete inspiration.
AAAAAAH!!! This is cuteness overload! What an amazing journey =) This is no embarassment... it's true inspiration =)
Really wish Germany would have a bit of such music culture xD Totally random and girly question: How long did it take you to get these curls straight at 7:55 ? I guess that must have taken ages? =O
Haha awh thanks Jassy!
Muahahahaha. Yep. That was a girly question. Nice to see both little spider hands ladies.
PS. Germany has good music culture in classics. ;) Still nothing will beat Katyusha.
Cheers from Poland.
Hey Jassy 🤘 In the 80s and 90s there was a great music culture at least here in NRW/Ruhrpott especially regarding metal and stuff. I know this is a little bit late for you but now there is Internet and Media and things are so much easier this days. You can literally take part of music culture all over the world 💖🎅🤘
Yeah borrall es creativa, tienes razón aprendio bastante y ademas igual es mi inspiración.
I started playing guitar 3 years ago at 37 and when I see people like Sophie and (you) JJ play some hard rock it makes me feel kind of discoraged and useless. No matter how quickly I improve and how much I feel like I'll never be good enough with my guitar playing. I wrote 3 crappy riffs so far not too many views on them and I am not sure what I can do to play faster and sound better. Finger tapping just seems to take me longer than usual to learn properly. I am thinking of switching from my first ever Gio Ibanez guitar to a Epiphone Les Paul in near future. Both of you are amazing guitar players and I give huge props to both of you.
I especially like the message this video sends: Constantly practicing pays out! And I admire your braveness to go on stage right away.
Hola mi amorsito hola mi barby. Yo te quiero mucho te amo .me gustaria estar con vos.veni a pasar la navidad en Atgentina. Aca es muy lindo.besito de Roberto para mi narby te amo.
I'm in a big o debate my lovely ,I love it all Sophie
it definitely pays off to go to college too. lols
❤hola mi amorcito ya estoy mejor te amo❤
❤mi amorcito siempre me mandas este mismo video yo te respondí varias beses mi amor voy al curso de guitarras chau besito de Roberto para mi amorcito de Sofía ❤❤❤
I'm 44, been playing since I was 10, and you run circles around me young lady! Keep up the great playing on your incredible journey!
It's not cringeworthy at all. I actually enjoyed seeing your progress and the guitar difficulty increasing. Such an awesome journey!!
I thought your renditions of the Pink Floyd toward the end were spot on! Beautiful tone and played with soul. Well done! More Floyd please!
+++1 😄
Yes please.
Yes, more Pink Floyd. You are absolutely amazing. It’s very encouraging to see so much talent at such a young age. You earned a new subscriber today. Thanks
As you have mastered many styles and artists and groups. The world can only look forward to you showcasing your talent with your own original music . I hope you make a positive impact on everyone who hears you play and you meet. God bless you !
Well I found out I'm still at the age 15
Ha I went all way to .. 16.. nah we just suck
@@wintersoldier3971 i hate myself😭😭😭
I'm still at 9, and I am 34 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeffadrianeypanto1417 same bro
I was just taking my first guitar lessons at that age xD
Hi Sophie. You are a true inspiration. I am 53, and have been playing on and off since I was 16, and am still crap. You are proof that passion coupled with hard work can produce amazing results. There was nothing cringeworthy in this at all. Thanks for sharing. You just got a new fan and subscriber. I hope that if you are ever having a day with low inspiration, or just feeling a bit down, that you can remember how many of us look up to you as a guitar goddess, and can only wish that we had the drive and dedication that you have had through life to excel at a craft like you have.
Keep Rockin' :)
Haha same here !
I swear between the age of 12 and 15 you progressed so fast wtf that’s insane
Exactly! I noticed the same thing. She was always pretty good up until then for someone with her level of experience. But that 3 year ramp up was extraordinary. Basically between 4 years of playing and 7. Looks like that was her sweet spot. Gives me hope.
I agree.. when she hit 15 and 16 she was already better than I am today and I've been playing my whole life. The progression doubled between 15 and 16.
We are at our peak during those ages, no bills or responsibilities lol. All of her progress is blowing my mind though. She's an incredible player.
You shred cliffs of dovers at 16. I still can barely do the first 5 seconds of it at the same age. You rock! ❤️ 🎸
Which era of Sophie did I like best? The Get the Funk Out Clip. You looked cool as hell and it was just an all around very natural vibe emanating from you. And you kicked ass playing the solo too. Very badass. My favourite clip of you. Edit: the hair was also really cool and I love all eras of Sophie.
I like how humble you are..your extremely talented yet 0 ego.
Your journey is interesting to watch as you start surrounded by other players and slowly they disappeared to the point your at home still going working on your craft and wow your dedication and hard work certainly payed off..one hell of a good player.bravo 👏

Wow great

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!!!
Looks like your guitar was bigger than you at that age.
There is a precision and clarity of your playing which is just sooooooooooo fantastic to watch, your dedication over the years is obvious. Well done!
Well this is the first thing that's every made me feel shit abt being a rhythm guitarist....
But can u down pick like James Hetfield..
Probably😂
Hahahaha no I can’t!
Sensacional. Talentosa. Incrível. Parabéns Sophie pela sua determinação e amor ao que faz pela música. Um grande abraço.
This is actually so cool to see!!
editor kai!?
yooo the love of my life!
It's awesome to see that your drive and determination as a youngster fed the feel and passion as you grew. As the skills developed, the passion was more easily conveyed, and we are the beneficiaries of all that. Thank you for being an example of what can be accomplished when you pour out everything you have and see it through to the end. But I can see and hear a new phase of your journey! So here's to the next 20 years!! It's all about feel now...so show us how you feel 🙏🙏🤘
Sophie was one of my inspirations to start playing guitar
I love slash, and this girl is heavily slash inspired. I LOVE IT!!! KEEP ROCKING ON!!! \m/
Not sure how I ended up hear lol but just wanted to say your playing is really good. As a guitar teacher of decades & students all around the world,I can truthfully say It's rare to see people excel this fast. Maybe one In 500. Stay humble and open minded as a player and the growth will never end. Great job. KEEP ROCKIN'
Woah...
I'm awesome then. I started playing yesterday and I can play Eric johnson with ease. Probably better than Eric.
Stay "humble" what great advice 👍🏼
Hear?
Anyone who is a seasoned player can pick up just how fast her progress was. Where she was at 15 (6 years of playing) would take the majority or similarly skilled players 15-20 years or more, even putting in daily hours. Many won’t even get to that level in their lifetimes, in fact. And yet she was just getting started.
Some people might look at someone as young as you shredding like that and get discouraged but tbh it just makes me want to play more the one thing I wish I had more time for was practicing and learning new licks.
Yes I'm one of those discouraged but then I'm 70.and starting back up.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death way to miss the point.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death you know all your doing is proving your missing the point right? Shredding is a skill and a really tough one nobody said it was all you have to do to be good but its a nice skill to have.
Style over substance is the dumbest argument to make in an entirely subjective artform like music, if you can't appreciate alittle shred here and there then that's your problem but now your trying to make it other peoples problem by telling them what they should or shouldn't do. Your not the god of taste and your opinion is not the only valid one here.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death you are literally missing the point nobody ever said shred was the most important skill! Seriously for godsake stop replying your wasting your time arguing with yourself over things you imagining have been said.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death I said some people would now take your inane opinion somewhere else and stop fucking up my comment that was meant to be nice with your judgemental BS.
Amazing transformation You can see you had the talent and that you applied yourself! Great work Great Artist! I love watching you play and the joy and fascination that’s within you! You are the best!
Absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You should be very proud. When I was eight years old I had great aspirations to be a talented guitarist also. That was 52 years ago. I’m no better than I was at age 8. You inspire me to try again at age 60. There are so many wonderful people like you on the internet willing to show what’s possible when you work hard at it. I love your videos.
Bob
Loved it ! My favorite was Pink Floyd Shine On You Crazy Diamond......Z
Wow. All the best for the next 81 years of playing. That “ shine on” cover was amazing.
How old are you?
Another important part of your journey is the diversity in the music you play. It's important to not just focus on the genre you want to be in but also try other genres. You'll learn lots of techniques, patterns, and rhythms, which will make you a better guitarist in your favourite genre in the end. I didn't do it, progress was slow, and then I quit for 8 years due to limited time, studies, work and stuff. Only recently got back and it is frustrating to have to start from scratch again and fail even at songs I could play back in 2014. My biggest enemies back then were gallops and arpeggios/sweeps, still are but now I also can't do all of the other techniques anymore
The two Extreme tracks really showed your prowess. Those twelve years have paid dividends for you and may it continue long into the future. You have earned another subscriber.
Nice! Nice nice nice. Now all you need is a really good song. We'll be looking for that song too Good luck and great fortunes in your future. Yeah don't forget my concert tickets
At 15 years old you started to shred!! It is amazing to see your evolution!! Saludos desde Mexico!
Ur awesome girl. U got nothing to be embarrassed about ok uve came a long way and should be happy with ur self.
Ok....you've been playing better than me at 14.... you shouldn't feel embarrassed cause I feel embarrassed now
same
You have absolutelyy NO reason to be embarrassed or feel like any of it was cringe-worthy in my opinion
You have become a masterful guitar wizard in my book and I have been playing for 46 years
Metal has always been what I gravitate to and you play it so well
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey thus far
Keep on doing what you love!!
Your Humility is Totally, Totally Overwhelming ... I am Totally Engrossed ...
Relax mikey.
ROCK ON! SOPHIE YOU ARE AWESOME. ;)
Shows the hardwork she's done over the years to get where she's today, a YT and Insta star. One of my fav guitarists 👏👏
You slay, Sophie!! I’m going to show this to my daughters. We are learning together and I’m going to enjoy seeing them bypass their mum. You’re an inspiring woman.
Dang, at 14 your skills just took off into orbit.
Sophie, as a recent subscriber and now follower in your amazing journey, I just wanted to wish you all the best , and hope you make it to wherever your dreams and desires take you. At 62 now myself and an aspiring guitarist as well , you inspire me , and I’m sure countless others to continue on our own journeys into the joys of music . Thanks, and keep doing what you love ..😊👍
Quite a journey Sophie! You are amazingly talented and the passion you show while playing is enjoyable to watch! You make it look so easy! Keep on rockin young lady! Thanks for sharing! Much love! ❤️
The best version of you, Sophie, is right now! I love to see and hear the next generation of awesome guitarists like you!
That was awesome, I loved every stage of your development. What an inspiration to budding guitarists. You are so talented, what are you going to do with that talent, think carefully young lady, the world could become your oyster.
Ps, have you played with Fenders and Gibsons ?
Thank you for the journey, I wish I’d recorded my progress. Your achievements are appreciated.
Everyone started somewhere and the early videos showed nothing more than someone falling in love with music.
Well done. Cheers
Love ❤️😘😘💖😘😘💖💖💟😘😗❤️💟💞💟💟💟😘😘💖😘😘💖💖😘❤️😘😘😘😘😘💖💖💟💞💟💟
luckily this isn't discouraging, if anything it's a reminder to be patient with oneself if you start later in life because it is harder to pick up
So by the age of 85 I should be able to shred?
@@smkh2890 if you don't practice the right way, nope. She practiced with a metronome and that gave her the timing she needed to become fast. And she practiced scales and solos and lots of other stuff instead of jumping on the bed and playing 3 power chords and pretending to be a rock star which is what I did for most of my childhood.
The Pink floyd was amazing. Very few can make that “Floyd” sound. But u nailed it. And your song “Tranquility “. Just amazing. I listen to all the time. Thanks for everything you do !!!
Это очень круто! Ты большая молодец, успехов тебе!!!!
Bon swar amis bon courage pour vous 🍯🍯💎✌🎸🎸🎸🇲🇦🌹🥀🌺📻
I literally just heard tranquility and it is my favorite song
I really like how in your early years especially how you played the same song at different ages. Most memorably sweet child of mine. At least in my opinion it's cool to see the out of tune bends, something relatable to all beginers, but then over the years you can see your learning process with realizing you play acoustic with a different approach, and on electric the bends start sounding in tune, then after that is when the Feel kicks in and it's obvious every aspect of your playing takes off from there. I guess my point is every guitarist feels cringe when they critic themselves learning but it was awesome of you to make it public so the rest of us can see even someone who obviously has it figured out nowadays had the very same "cringe" moments. That said my favorite phase was definitely the pink Floyd phase. Really nailed the feel. I definitely got that like "shit that was cool" giggle thing musicians get when they hear something that hits them in the soul.
That symphony of destruction solo was awesome
Embarrassing? More like flexing...
11:23 wow that tone!!!!!!
So cool. The jump from 12 to 14 is insane. And to see you playing in bands right from the start...Wow.
You should be very proud of the musician you've become! Amazing journey Sophie!
Incredible journey. You are an amazing guitarist and leader for women
This was really interesting to see how you grew up playing guitar, how you progressed in your play, You have so much talent, you kick so much ass on that guitar !!
If you're embarrassed by that, I can't imagine what it would take to actually make you proud... as you should be. I know it's said so often it probably doesn't even register with you anymore, but "amazing" is the word that best describes you. Thank you for being, Sophie. The world needs you.
Jaw Dropping tone,Skill and Command of the Instrument! Very adorable starting out too! Keep Rocking Dear!❤🙏🏻
My granddaughter is going to be 15 next month. The facial resemblance between the two of you is incredible. Your brilliance and innocence still show through but are now more radiant, as well as your prowess and expertise. Long may you continue to share your videos and inspire those of us who love the guitar, and the ability to play as you do.
This is weird as fuck.
So you learned everything by ear.. This was your calling.. I bet your parents are so proud even though you picked some serious rock.. You are amazing!! Your blue's is also amazing.. Don't ever stop! 🤘🤗🤘
You sound like me as a teenager girl!!!!!
That was Awesome Sophie !
I think my favorite phase was 21 when you playing comfortably numb.You really looked happy. 🙂
I wish I had started at 9, waited until my 40's. But the great thing about recording you progress, is you see how much you improve. can't believe those solos at 11 and 12. great work
Talented beauty lot a lot love you 💝💘😘😍💌🇵🇹
Quite enjoyed GNR, GNR Again ... And GNR Again... Again. 😂
Yes, it's rewarding! 🎉 Gratz for all those years :)
Mate Im 34 and you've done more in your 11 years of playing then i have in about 19-20..... very impressive!! I wanna ask how you mastered you legato skill but i assume its just years of focused practice!! Your next level luv keep it up!!
I've been a guitar player, poet and specialist in more than 30 instruments for 150+ years. Since I've played so much, I never had the time to actually practise thus spending these days with writing youtube comments telling people how talented they are. Usually, I am American.
I don’t see anything that i can considered as "embarrassing" ! At all !
Let me tell you: if you don’t start exploring your skills, - you’ll never grow up as a person qualified in certain areas in your life! What ever the subject you named…
When you know your capacitance of your ability? Only if you start, even if you don’t know how to start, but you start it… you continue, even if you scared or ashamed wen you make a mistake…
And - when you have your first success, - you realize: that’s just a first step of your skill! I’m still learning and growing!
In conclusion: you give a good example of your own experience with guitar and music…
You never know your capacitance…
Fantastic evolution young lady. You definitely saw an increase in confidence ( naturally) at the 16 years old clip and up. Once we all get through this COVID madness get out there and be the star ⭐ that you are!
What an amazing video! Not even remotely cringe!
I've followed your channel for a while, and you've grown by leaps and bounds.
I most like the Pink Floyd covers era, where you're so comfortable with playing that you are enjoying it. That's a milestone.
Continued success!
I have been playing since 1998 and i can't even dream of playing addicted to pain or eric johnson at the age of 16/17. I just learned symphony of Destruction in 2020 and I could barely play the solo😄. You are AMAZING. I definitely need to practice with a metronome😆
I am an old English man emigrated to the U S continent over 29 years ago.
You have such a talent and are so modest about it, you should not be.
So much dedication to perfection and total commitment so rare these days!
Awesome performances, fantastic, keep going.
Ex Pat Brit
The Pink Floyd music is my favorite of your playing although I love the way you play the Beat It solo. Nobody plays it better! You make it look so easy. I imagine you could play Steely Dan tunes like Don't Take Me Alive and Jeff Beck tunes from the Blow By Blow album and Lazy from Deep Purple.
I Subscribed your Channel and I feel Music Charms in your Playing. I am interesting Metal Music but I don't have any Guitars in my own. But I used to play Guitars from someones owned guitars and I I also hired sometimes, because we are very poor....I am also interesting other parts also....So I used to listen from RUclips from your Channel and Others and I also shared to some whatsapp Groups and Facebook etc....I am feeling interestings from your playin Guitar Covers...And I request you one of Metallica's songs in your next cover.
How the hell do you do it ? The vibratos, the tone, the confidence. I’m just blown away.. You have an incredible journey. 👏🏼
I loved all your phases. It just shows that your passion for guitar was from an early age and you didnt give up. Absolutely wonderful journey so far young lady.
Embarrass yourself? Surely you're kidding. Honestly I think you were even cooler as a 9 year old.
This vid made my day. Thanks, love. You're the coolest guitar chick in my book.
How long Its a Time love you 🤓
Some story you have made, so talented, so dedicated, your fingers are a blur sometimes, simply wonderful🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
I always criticize myself when filming practice. I guess I should just not worry about the out of tune bends and just upload the video anyway XD
You played like me as a teenager mam.
Not a single cringe moment Sophie! I were pretty much on your 12-14 year old level at that same age (and I started at 11, selftaught and all), and although I still play the guitar to this day (I'm 45 now), my life turned up down when I were 16, my dad died, I got depressed, lost a lot, as I had to move to another country, etc... Years went by, without energy to build on my skills or do anything fruitful with life. First now at 45 (and after a hear attack), I'm regaining the flame of playing, and will commit years to it. Who knows, maybe when I'm 52 I'll be on your actual level!...which would be a blast! :D
I really like the parts where you're 14-16 years old playing crazy things with a methronome, things that I would like to play/practice myself. This video brings a huge inspiration towards playing guitar every day, even for 20-30 minutes. Thanks Sophie! Amazing video and there is nothing to be ashamed of. I applaud! I can tell how hard it is because I have a sister who has been learning to play a musical instrument for 8 years in a school and it takes courage and perseverance 💪
Hi Sophie! You are fantastic, for your talent, the limit is Heaven, thank you for your Royal Art! good life forever and blessings!
July 2015, Age 16 "Addicted to Pain" - Alter Bridge, Riff shredding agony of pleasurable mind torment, I'll take a bite of that apple now Eve hmm delicious delirium. ❤ Sophie my drug of choice, darkened purple clouds flashing lighting sheets call my name, I turn from you and bid you a bitter sweet farewell. 😢 ❤
But your more amazing.
... at age 17 Sophie 100% nailed Extreme's 'get the funk out' solo... djeeeeeeezuuusss christ, that's crazy-impressive!!
wow.... this is called PROGRESS !! you're simply great !!
I LOVE THIS! And damn, at 16 you were really starting to put it all together! HOLY SHIT! This vid of you from Dec 2016 "get the funk out," man, you're killing it and you look f+ing awesome (you look great now also, but... WOW)!
You became pro level the second you flawlessly learned Play with me(Nuno Bettencourt) But all serious musicians know Megadeth solos are next level shite!
BTW I started at 9 too!
Wow!!!!
Kind of cute... kind of cool... And not embarrasing at all!
Amazing journey!
Love your content!
Once it got to you shredding on sweet child o mine at 12 years old, I was blown away lol. I think you’re like a year younger than me and you’re amazing! I want to get better at guitar so bad but I suck :( I guess I might have to look into skillshare huh
David Gilmour should be cringing in his boots....maybe Pink Floyd might replace him with you as lead guitarist if they reform and go on tour Sophie!
I'm sorry. Did you say you were: "Embarrassed!"? My friend. My Dear. You have done more than most humans your age now, plus all the old assholes who didn't have what you had because technology was not there to do what we can now. Girl! Shit! Go Rock, Goddammit!! Rock this Planet, please. Do what you gotta do!!! I am!! Now!! Now!! It's time. No wasting now. You learned music while it still existed as a folk, non corporate love song to everyone you knew here and here and everywhere and why not? I am Music! My Name is Matt McCarel.
I grew up in the McCarel's House of Music. And do yo know what that was like? You do!!! Peace my friend. Reach out if you want. If not - much love and peace. God Bless! You have some talent, my dear, that scares me, so I will back off = back away and bow. Love!!! Peace! And in the end: Relax! Don't Do It! PS. I'm so fucking jealous!!!!! I could puke!!!!!! Puke!!! Spew!!! But I'm hungry.
Hi SOPHIE (-: My heart absolutely melted, and I was blown away when you played the two Pink Floyd solos, the Michael Jackson solo, and what I think was your original solo!!!
