Watch: 9-year-old Japanese girl can absolutely shred
Stop what you’re doing and pay attention – Li-sa-x is in the building.
No, she’s not Malcolm X’s lost Japanese grandchild. She’s a regular 9-year-old who happens to enter beast mode whenever she picks up an electric guitar. Exhibit A is this video from December 2013, which showcases her viral cover of Racer X’s “Scarified” metal solo.
Her Facebook fan page is the cutest shit ever. She describes herself as “I <3 Guitar!!” and “Japanese 9 year old girl,” and her influences are guitarists Guthrie Govan and Paul Gilbert. That’s about it.
