Watch this 11-year old take on a heavy metal band in an epic guitar battle on stage

Little Aidan Fisher, age 11, can play the electric guitar. Really well. All because of dedication and lots of practice. A lot of practice. That’s pretty inspired for an 11-year old boy. He idolizes famed guitarist Eddie Van Halen, and wherever he goes, he carries his guitar book so that he can brush up on chords and techniques even when he’s not actually playing.

This December, while attending a concert for heavy metal band Steel Panther in Kansas City, little Aidan held up a sign challenging the band’s lead guitarist to a guitar battle. The above video shows how it all went down. Aidan Fisher demonstrated that age doesn’t matter. If you can dream it, you can do it. You just need practice and dedication.
