Music magazines weren\u2019t so kind to electric guitars over the past decade. Sales were down and it seemed like the guitar market would never recover. Even Eric Clapton thought that \u201cmaybe the guitar is over<\/a>\u201d at one point.<\/p>\n

However, that\u2019s far from the truth.<\/p>\n

Guitar sales are fine. They\u2019ve actually been on the rise in the last few years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Industry demographics have changed drastically. More and more young people are buying and playing guitars. As Andy Mooney, the CEO of Fender notes, around 45% of all guitar sales<\/a> now go to first-time players.<\/p>\n

Children as young as 5 are now actively playing guitars.<\/p>\n

Thanks to YouTube, we can now finally see all of these youngsters playing. And that\u2019s why we are here today — to look at the kids with extraordinary guitar talent.<\/p>\n

1. Konstantina Andritsou<\/h2>\n

Konstantina may be the youngest guitarist on our list but she\u2019s not the least experienced. The 9-year-old Bulgarian prodigy has displayed a talent for guitar before she learned her ABC\u2019s and at this point, she’s spent a third of her life playing.<\/p>\n

At the age of 7, Konstantina made her debut in Athens. Even before the concert, she was well-known thanks to YouTube. In Athens, she performed Caparicio Harabe, by the classical Spanish guitarist and composer, Francisco T\u00e1rrega<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
