“This is the stuff of dreams”: 11-year-old wows Kiko Loureiro with her solo skills at the ex-Megadeth shredder’s guitar camp

Date:

11-year-old guitarist Aanika Pai has caught the attention of ex-Megadeth guitarist Kiko Loureiro after playing an impromptu solo to a backing track at Loureiro’s Guitar Experience camp in Helsinki.

The young guitarist confidently went on stage, plugged a flare red Ibanez RG550 that Loureiro lent her into a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, and ripped a few solos that even impressed the veteran guitarist. Pai showcased her speed and fast-developing penchant for classic rock and speed metal-style solos.
