Mythbusting at its finest, lol....
Meet Meliani Siti Sumartini, she is a 15 year old Indonesian metalhead who is learning the guitar. Mel posted this cover of "Hourglass" recently and it's just so awesome, proving that metal's reach is worldwide. Even more endearing is her description in the video: "Has taken before im going to school, i wish you're enjoying it."
Mel, I am very much enjoying it. It was a pleasure watching you shred.
Of course, the president of Indonesia is a metalhead, so that area sure is pretty fucking metal.

My wife's Indonesian and this will definitely blow her away when I play it to her in the morning. I might video her reaction, lol.
Just WOW!
First of all--She's 15!!??? She looks like she's about 7 or 8.
I am just blown away by her finger movement. Her hands become a blur!
I haven't read the article yet, but I'm glad she's in school.
Rock on!

I wonder if she's playing on an American Fender.
When I was looking for an affordable guitar, I tried some of the high-end Epiphones, made in Indonesia. They felt less like an instrument, and more like a collection of parts.
Ultimately, I got an American Gibson Les Paul Studio model (which is what I really wanted) for cheap when they were phased out for the (ugly) Gibson LPJ.

The world can't spend enough time on music. It's the best thing the species has ever come up with (ok, after indoor plumbing and electricity).

(34,341 posts)cretin doesn't try to shoot her in the head because, after all, girls shouldn't do anything but serve their Lord and Master. God forbid she spread her wings, get educated, or anything else a human being should be able to do without fear of persecution.
Sorry, I'm feeling a just little hostile towards fundamentalists, especially after Paris and Malala. And I didn't say fundamental Islam, because fundamental Christianity & Judiasm are just as backwards and dangerous as fundamental Islam.
And you, sister, ROCK ON!
