An eight-year-old British girl whose guitar skills have impressed music fans across the world has released another awe-inspiring video.

n a recent interview with Newbury Today, Zoe’s mother Collette said:

‘Zoe is really excited; she is overjoyed. For someone of her age to get an endorsement is a massive achievement. I think you have to have something special to be endorsed, and it’s really nice that someone has recognized her talent.’

After watching her latest video internet users commented: ‘Holy guitar prodigy batman! Outstanding icon smile 8 year old guitarist Zoe Thomson Eddie Van Halen has nothing on you!’

Another wrote; ‘Her hands are so tiny, that must make it a little harder for her, but she still shows mad skill!’

The US band were so impressed with the young music stars they posted a one-minute video online singing their praises.
