Dang! They are good. Kind of creepy though. Think of the time invested into getting that good. Shouldn't they be out riding a bike, running and playing? Is it really necessary to be that good at anything when you are 5? And.. couldn't they at least find size appropriate instruments for those little tykes?
It takes a lot of finger power to work the frets on those full size guitars. I don't know how such young kids can do it.
I agree with kk that it's beautiful but weird. Whenever I see technically perfect performances in the arts or athletics from young people from totalitarian regimes, I assume they've been trained to the point of the exclusion of everything else in their lives.
