WATCH: Springsteen invites teenage fan on stage to play song, give music lesson

Bruce Springsteen made one fan's dreams come true this week, and it's all caught on video.

The Boss honored one teenager's sign spotted in the audience during his Feb. 16 show in Brisbane, Australia, that requested to play a song with the rock-and-roll star.

The boy, who's name is Nathan Testa according to Billboard, held up a poster that read, "Missed school in the s--- now can I play 'Growin Up' with you?"

After Springsteen got confirmation from the boy that he knew how to play the song on guitar, he invited him on stage.

In a nearly seven-minute-long video posted on YouTube, Testa rocks out with Springsteen to the hit that's the second track off of "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J."

About midway through, Springsteen dished out some life advice.

"Now when I was your age, I got my first guitar, I brought it home and I realized it wasn't about how well you played it. It was how good you look doing it. So I got in front of the mirror and I tried out some different poses."
