I feel the same way when I see kids with insane talent (although I'm not sure if the kid in the video has any talent)...I can tell you this though, talent alone won't get you anywhere.

I watched that video of the 8 year old playing Stratovarius' Stratosphere...

I watched a documentary years ago about a guy who had some ridiculous high IQ, some where around 250 or so.
He worked as a bouncer in some cheap hole in the wall Jersey bar.
He was dillusional and socially inept.
Being born with a talent doesn't always mean you will succeed in life or make life better.

just to be the nitpicking ass I am-I think it would be way less, the highest ever measured IQ was 228
besides that-sure, you can learn how to play guitar or any other instrument and get almost perfect
technically even if you're not considered a ultra talented guy or whatever, because discipline is
part of it, too.
But real talent doesn't need that discipline most of the time, got a friend who's actually talented in
the way I see talent (strange sentance...)-he never played guitar, took the guitar of his brother,
got a few basics shown (like how to hold it, only 15 minutes) and two days later he had written
a song (singer/songwriter stuff, but better than anything I ever came up with).
But some people got talents they "don't want" if you get what I mean, they are good at it, but
it's stuff that doesn't matter to them, so they know that they are gifted in some kind of way
but it doesn't help them at all.

During his life, his IQ was estimated to be between 250 and 300, making it one of the highest ever recorded

But I was mistaken on the bouncer, his IQ is around 190-210

ok, I see the problem, it wasn't measured, they only thought about it, due to that there's no evidence
from a test, sorry for that, but yeah, he's a good example!

It just makes me wonder about guys like Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai. Do they have a high IQ in certain area's? Is that what makes them exceptional?
I don't know them personally, but I wouldn't doubt while musically they are extremely talented, they probably lack in other areas. Seems there is always a trade off.

In most cases being born with talent means that it wont come to great use either.
People who have to work for their talent also work to make use of it.
I my self got the diagnose that i have asperger syndrome at about age 15, and what basically pushed me over the edge from being "normal" to having asperger was the fact that im somewhat savant.
Essentially, if i want to become great at something it only takes me 1/10th of the time it would take a normal person to achieve the same thing.
But what have i done with my life so far? I don't have an education, im unemployed, i don't even have a band at the moment and the only thing i do with all this spare time i have is playing guitar, drinking lots of alcohol and smoking weed.
