Some kids have talents that are years beyond their age.
It’s always impressive to watch people who completely own their craft. In the case of kids, seeing them inspire other children with hopes of becoming good at something is just so inspiring. That was the case for this young girl who performs a complicated tune on the banjo that lit the internet on fire.

Right from the get-go, she moves her fingers from string to string so fast you can hardly keep up.

The quirky song was first released in 1968 and is no easy feat to play on the banjo—but 12-year-old Willow absolutely owns it. She makes it look easy, but it’s definitely not.
