John! Thank you! Her father helped her set up her own UA-cam channel three years ago, she has some interesting music there. I’m sorry I sent you the one that had the post comments cut off. She tells Howie her inspirations are Tool, Exodus, Slayer. In fact the guitar she is playing was a gift from Tool’s guitarist and she got another from Exodus too. She has been in the US for a few months now and has been jamming with those same artists. At the end of the video it looks like the three sisters from The Warning may have been front row in the audience? She was just in Nashville a few weeks ago at the Gibson Garage among other places. I wish her so much luck! Love her talent and her personality!
She plays indian classical music, carnatic music, which starts slow and goes on to very fast beat and lasts long even upto 3 hours, its very incricate and difficult. This 2 min act is easy.
@@lokeshk4642 I didn’t know that but it doesn’t surprise me. The metal community is taking her under their wing, it’s great! Thank you for telling me. I really want to see her semi finals now! Have you seen her UA-cam channel ?
Bless Ya With Angelic Wings Take Ya, To Heights Which Generations Adore Right Back At Ya❤ . Edit: I didn't realize until now my ability to compose freestyle rap. Well you are an inspiration Maya❤️
That performance was mind blowing as was the guitar playing 🎸 I watched the video in the UK and enjoyed every minute of it. That is how rock guitar should be played, you were just awesome and I hope you continue playing for a long time 😎
If she got the golden buzzer, she would have advanced ahead to the semis…meaning we wouldn’t get to see her perform as much. The producers knew she was ratings grabber and want her onscreen as much as possible.
According to Maya’s Thank you video, she has strong support from well known performers. Her guitar was a gift from Alex Jones, guitarist from Tool. Also, Gary Holt, guitarist from Exodus and Slayer was there in the audience to support her national debut. He even came in during rehearsals earlier in the day to help her tune her guitar! She’s going places❤❤❤ Judge’s reaction: ua-cam.com/video/GfVnVCaFg4c/v-deo.htmlsi=H-4AT_LgyWb911LA
That soul chose Indian origin 💀 thats true metal to the core. Competing like a mad woman. Jokes aside she definitely got the blessing from the one who sits in the lotus Goddess Saraswati
Proud to be an Indian and a SouthIndian .Stay blessed Maya .Feel proud of your dad who has put all his heart and soul on you as he sensed his taste of music in you.
Proud to be Indian... That's it...why add 'south' after that. I'm a Gujarati. Should I say proud to be West Indian? 😅 I'm proud of her n chennai too. ❤
I am so glad you caught that she did a bit of Carnatic music (classical Indian music ) even during the last resort riff. It wasn’t just at the start as a lot of people think.
The interesting thing about here solos was she blended a classical Carnatic Raga into a Metal Solo... the start Aalaap was an excellent fit to what followed... It never seemed out of place. The solo licks had plenty of slides which is basically a lot Gamakas as they would call it... All pretty cool stuff.. Before this she has performed for audiences... though may be not his big on a stage like this... She is used to playing... but getting this good in just 4 years... man...
Top reaction to this 10 years old very young Indian Lady special style of guitar. SHE IS "Z" NEW GENERATION OF GUITAR.. WE WILL SEE HOW THIS GENERATION IN NEAR FUTURE MANAGE THE WORLD . HOPE DEEPLY IT WILL BE THE SAME STYLE AND WORLD WILL BE FREE OF EVILS.. GOOD SIGN HERE SHOWS US TO BE POSITIVE...❤
You are fantastic and very talented shy girl where nobody would hve belived the talent she has.Now adays kids wouldn't hve heard or listen to this heavy metal music.I myself just got carried back in time to the days of Deep Purple,Led Zepplin and many more heavy metal bands.now im 70yrs old nd still a fan of H/metal music nd songs of metallic legends .Maya,s is mix Indian carnatic music.To me shes dam good future guiterist.Im a Malayasian indian supporter nd fan.Keep it up Maya.All the best to u nd may god bless you.
Blessings to you Maya. It's just the beginning and lot to learn. Don't get carried away by lime light and media. Keep focused and explore Ragas and establish yourself as respected musician. I know you can.
Nice to see start with carnatic classic which is one of the genre of Indian classic and it’s start with slow notes and while progress it’s notes will go like whirlpool .. very tough in progressive level to perform .. and with in 2 years out of 4 years she almost pro of carnatic in guitar .. thanks to Prasanna sir who taught her .. and after that with the continuation she maintained the western mixed very well.. Maya you will go further…
Maya can't wait to see more of your performances, I have been watching your performance at AGT again and again. Wish you all the best from 🇱🇰 Srilanka. Thanks John reaves.
99.999 PCT OF South Indian Carnstic style musicians ( includes students) and BHARATNATYAM dancers always start any performance, including one for learning as a student in class, does at least a stanza of a prayer to the favourite Hindu deity or do a step for worshipping the deity in dance SIGNS/ MUDRAS. THAT IS WHAT SHE DID IN THE INITIAL SECOND, BEFORE DOING WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO WITH GUITAR. ❤
I knew you would love her! She is performing tonight at 8:00, you probably already know about it but I'm hoping that you will cover the performance so I can watch it live tonight! Thank you so much! I really enjoyed seeing your reactions, they were similar to my own and everyone else's, what a genius! I think she was sent down from heaven to help us with Ascension or something to help us start a revolution and change the world for the better! Maybe the educational system!

Gary Holt from Exodus and Slayer was in the audience with his wife to encourage Maya.
What a talented two minutes!

She smoked the shit out of that Guitar at 10 years .... Hands down
Lol no it’s boring, but at 10 years old yes it’s impressive
Hell o devil , do you know guitar? You are the real shit., 😂
The real devil I ever seen my life hu hu
That little girl is wonderful 💗
Hei shit she is divine.
I'm so annoyed she didn't get the golden buzzer. She's insanely awesome!🤘❤
She even woke up Simon.
I totally agree.
Still a bit salty she didn't. 🤘
If she got the golden buzzer, she would have advanced ahead to the semis…meaning we wouldn’t get to see her perform as much. The producers knew she was ratings grabber and want her onscreen as much as possible.
she didnt have sad bg story apparently :)
10 years old she is 10 years old she rocked Papa Roach! She started with an old indie song and smashed it with Papa Roach. Awesome! 👍
Actually in the beginning she was playing Carnatic music from ancient South India
I am glad ... At least there's future to the Rock ...
Congratulations Maya. I am from Tamil Nadu and I am proud of you.

If your going to comment on a member of a band at least know who your talking about. His name is Adam Jones Lead guitar of Tool.
@@theguitargeezer878 go away, grumpy. So, it was a typo. Grow up and move along. Btw, the names came from her video, not mine.
She has trained hard. Learning carnatic or any Indian classical music gives you the depth of the notes....
Very true .I used to watch my Granpa singing Carnatic the never ending ragams its so difficult .
She plays carnatic ragas in electric guitar
No amount of training can bring her to this level at age of 10. She is surely reincarnation of past life guitarist.
@@AK-eu4yy 💯
She's like the incarnation of some past great guitarist. How else would one explain her quicksilver learning skills.
100% true. This soul was a guitarist in a past life in another body.
She was born again to bring back good old rock! 😊
That soul chose Indian origin 💀 thats true metal to the core. Competing like a mad woman. Jokes aside she definitely got the blessing from the one who sits in the lotus Goddess Saraswati
She was born 2 days after jeff hanneman died... she had a whole video unboxing gifts that she got from his family.
Ravi Shankar reborn ?? ❤❤❤
i truly dont know why they didnt hit the golden buzzer she is AMAZING!!!
A Golden Buzzer would destroy what they're building up for her!
She did get, go check out the whole video
Proud to be an Indian and a SouthIndian .Stay blessed Maya .Feel proud of your dad who has put all his heart and soul on you as he sensed his taste of music in you.
She is just Indian..... Not SOUTH INDIAN. no one gives a damn about from which zone of India she comes from. Stop dividing India.
You had to mention “south Indian” stop the divide 🙃
Proud to be Indian... That's it...why add 'south' after that. I'm a Gujarati. Should I say proud to be West Indian? 😅 I'm proud of her n chennai too. ❤
Ya,,, I’m from south india tho,, I feel awkward when I hear south india,,,, pls just mention India
@@vishalaaron7800 some people cant, they are too involved with their North, east south west persona, coz normal humans gone extint
The start tune was carnatic music, music fron ancient Bharath (India)
I am so glad you caught that she did a bit of Carnatic music (classical Indian music ) even during the last resort riff. It wasn’t just at the start as a lot of people think.
She should have gotten the GOLDEN Buzzer!
She is the Golden Buzzer
@@ΚωσταςΑσλανιδης-ε7δ❤
From a 44 year old metal head from Kerala. Mad respect child. So proud, carry on make us more proud. And a special mention to your Dad.
Simon was right she is a rock goddess! At 10 years old that young lady is going places! 👍🤙
She made it look so easy!❤
I felt bad the judges didn't hit the golden buzzer coz she is just plain freakin awesome! ❤
the Guitar that she used was given to her by Adam Jones of Tools i check her channel and she show the guitar that he was signed by him
How can I find her channel?
@@elhathor just search by her name on youtube search
Just check her name on youtube, she is so adorable 😍
@@elhathor, Maya’s channel: youtube.com/@mayaneelakantan?si=ucw6BPkVD9LrerO9
Yes Maya is too good on the guitar 🎸 God bless her 🙏 ❤️ from India ❤
She's been meeting guitar gods and they have been sending her gifts! 😊 It's on her channel. - www.youtube.com/@MayaNeelakantan
Yes, she has been jamming with guitar gods. I’m not a musician but seeing these guitar greats with her tells that they see something in her.
The interesting thing about here solos was she blended a classical Carnatic Raga into a Metal Solo... the start Aalaap was an excellent fit to what followed... It never seemed out of place. The solo licks had plenty of slides which is basically a lot Gamakas as they would call it... All pretty cool stuff.. Before this she has performed for audiences... though may be not his big on a stage like this... She is used to playing... but getting this good in just 4 years... man...
they dont understand gamakas, as you heard him saying shivering but he could make sense that it has eastern music influence.
I was praying that you would stumble across this the minute I saw it.
As an Indian who's loved metal for the last 20 years, this got me a little emotional.
She even got ROCK GODDESS title from SIMON
Thank you John ❤❤❤ Maya 😘😘😘!!! She's amazing ! Wow🙏🙏🙏. Love in peace 🙏🙏🙏🇫🇷

She is so so talented. God bless her in her musical journey.
Mixing two different styles of music so smoothly and fits perfect. It wasn't weird on the ears. Remixes are a make or break. This one rocked. 🤘
She did a sitar sounds on the introduction❤
Ich könnte Pausenlos anhören 🤟❤️💪
