Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine gifted a 10-year-old fan with one of his new signature Fender Soul Power Stratocaster guitars.
The musician also recorded a video message for Nandi Bushell, the UK youngster who covered RATM’s “Guerilla Radio” for her YouTube channel.
“You rock so great, and to see someone rocking so great who is so young, it really gives me hope for the future,” said Morello. “I didn’t start playing guitar until I was 17 years old, so you are way, super-far ahead of me, and I look forward to hearing a lot more of your music in the future.
“You’ve got a lot of soul, and here’s a little Soul Power to go with it. Keep it up!”
Bushell, who has posted covers of tracks by acts like White Stripes, Twenty One Pilots and Radiohead, jammed last year with Lenny Kravitz in London.
