AC/DC is hard enough to emulate on electric guitar, but "Thunderstruck" on acoustic guitar is a sight to behold. 13-year-old Liu Jiazhuo is going viral after a schoolmate published his incredible fingerstyle performance of the rock number. Liu was playing Italian guitarist Luca Stricagnoli's cover of the classic rock song. According to local reports, the teenager from the Gansu province picked up the guitar when he was 7. He's been posting covers regularly to Chinese video sites, but his "Thunderstruck" cover started going viral after musician Gao Xiaosong, Alibaba Music's director, noticed and shared Liu's video on Weibo. Check out Stricagnoli's version on YouTube too.

Thought you might enjoy this.
He's quite the expert! But has a lot of hair on his face for a 13 year old. He looks more like 18-20. For young musicians I think this 4-year old holds the crown. I've studied the video and the only fake thing I can discern is it seems it may have been parts of several performances spliced together, but perhaps that was only to edit out mistakes.
I just watched it again in full screen - you're right. He does appear to be slightly more hirsute than the average 13 year old. You know what? That is the video made by Italian guitarist Luca Stricagnoli, not Liu. They didn't even show the Liu version in the article. Here's the video of Jiazhuo Liu playing. He has kind of a Leo Kottke thing going. Okay that makes a lot more sense. I was also thinking "Stricagnoli" was surely a very unusual Chinese name! The actual vid of the 13 year old seems to have some problems toward the end. He's obviously very good though.
Very talented young man !
Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907.

Thanks. That kid was clearly born to be a musician.
BOYCOTT PAYPAL AND CLOSE YOUR PP ACCOUNTS NOW! ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO DO SO,TOO! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Great video. Great talent. Thanks Here is a lesson on Thunderstruck. Followed by the full lesson interview.
