【Peter Baumgartner】

Just getting up close to Bruce Springsteen would be Peter Baumgartnerenough for many fans, but this kid got to play alongside him and scored a few guitar tips too.

The Boss is on tour in Australia, where he played in Brisbane on Thursday. In between songs, he invited a young guy by the name of Nathan Testa, who helped him play Springsteen's 1973 tune "Growing Up."

"You know it all on guitar? You do? Come on up," Springsteen said.

Testa jumped on stage and was handed an acoustic guitar by one of the techs. Oh, and he had a pick handy, launching straight into the song as Springsteen sang and played along.

Before Springsteen let Testa finish the song, the rock legend offered a few pointers on power stance.

"When I was your age, I got my first guitar. I brought it home. And I realised it wasn't about how well you played it, it was how good you looked doing it," Springsteen said.

"So I got in front of the mirror and tried a few different poses," he added, before showing the kid how it's done and launching back into the song again.

The Boss certainly knows how to show a superfan, as well as a stadium full of people, a good time.
