Last week, a video of a little girl shredding on guitar received a lot of attention from some big websites like Guitar World, Huffington Post, Daily Motion, and many others. The guitarist, 8-year-old Li-Sa X from Japan, is shown nailing the lead guitar part that Paul Gilbert wrote for the tune "Scarified," which came out in 1987 on Racer X's second studio album Second Heat.

They weren't the only ones impressed by young Lisa though... 

Paul Gilbert was so impressed that he recorded a special video for Lisa inviting her to study at his online guitar school! We are excited and honored to be able to connect Lisa to one of her biggest guitar influences as part of the ArtistWorks Scholarship Program. 

As a member of Paul Gilbert's Rock Guitar school, Lisa can learn directly from Paul's online guitar lessons - plus using ArtistWorks' Video Exchange learning platform, she'll be able to submit videos to Paul for his advice as she continues to advance. How cool is that? Welcome aboard Li-Sa X!
