(Elizabeth Cotton) Freight Train - Sungha Jung

[divedog59]

Very nice.

[chessdude67]

Her name is spelled "Cotten".

Great playing as always my young friend. Thumbs up!

[Smullet90]

IT really annoys me that he doesn't spell her name right. Good song though.

[guitar1977man]

Shazam!

[Ajax4life1610]

This is my favourite song to play on the guitar (not like Sungha, but an easier version).

[gase147]

he make it looks so easy to play

[MrsPaintblue]

Oh my god, you see it too?

The fish are dancing :)!

[kristoffergil23]

44 people used to watch this, and then they took an arrow to the knee.

[nicolefrancheska18]

@jwcfree its not elizabeth cotton... its elizabeth cotten...

[cuervamujer]

f*ck man you got skills, gorfgeous playing man, i hope to play as good as that one day! :) keep pickin boy! :) 

[analyticalcutie]

Great skill and talent; however, this version doesn't come close to the original, which has soul, passion, and meaning. Sorry dude, I do like all your other versions of songs though. :)

[yankam]

im half asian, does that mean that i get superpowers to?

[ajroy03]

Fact: Asians love fish tanks

[getupanddosomething]

Just so the uploader knows it is actually spelled CottEn, not Cotton. Great playing!

[schimitar18]

43 people are just jelous cause they cant be as legendary ash sungha jung

[astoms1954]

[honda2209]

มันมาก



[NJBZX]

virgo is nice person...:)

[anjanette12345]

the fishes we're lucky and their dancing ! lol

[zeppage6]

@MRichardEdward and bborowski1- you know this song was written by a ten or so year old girl, stop reading into things that aren't there.

[all1edqwe]

ach godness :D this is my Idol i am 17 years old and play on guitar 2 years but this is AMAZING !!! GOOOOD try training ! u are awesome achh :P

[dinster101]

amazinnnngg

[cR15mA5T3r]

43 people got hit by a train

[hardstylemanga16]

@PeteKrahn he's 15.....

[uhs56]

@hardstylemanga16

He is actually 14 now, born September 2, 1996.

[gase147]

@uhs56 15. it's 2011 now...............

[uhs56]

@gase147 Sungha was born September 2, 1996. Therefore he is still considered to be 14 years old in most western countries. Some other countries may use a different calculation. In our country, he will not become 15 until September 2, 2011. What country do you live in?

[virkl]

@uhs56

15 you now ;)

[zfrtable]

@uhs56 That would make him 15 <3

[PeteKrahn]

You are incredible for oyur age!...........which i'm assuming is around 12-14.........

[MrLevizzle]

Mesmerizing

[MRichardEdward]

You... Sort of missed the point of this song. You are an Amazing guitarist, without a doubt-- but I can't really feel the ache in this song..  For someone with undeniable technical skill, this rendition is Pretty disappointing..

Maybe when you're older.

[bborowski1]

@MRichardEdward - you're pretty unrealistic and thoughtless-------how can someone have the experiences of life, pain, sorrow, and hardships at the age of 10 -11. I am so dissapointed in you for somebody of your obvious stature, largess and immenseossity. You obviously missed the point.

[atzraff]

@bborowski1 What the heck?! Watching the vid from the point of beeing a "working" guitarist myself, I must say: "Well done!". Your kind of criticism results from the same roots where dumb statements like "Blues can only be played by black folks" come from. What makes you think that you have "to earn the right" for playing ragtime classics before doing so? Borowski, I guess that YOU are the one that misses the point?

[ColorMeFree4ever]

I can't stop watching him. I can't ever turn off the vids..

[MySnowfox]

Sounds like childhood is coming to town :)

[minesapint58]

loved it so much. brought memories back to me, you have a gift that sounds so good.

[AsianLaLaLover]

i wish i was sungha's guitar. then i would be with him all the time.

[itfc1997]

this is great, i am learning and will be posting some videos up soon...... but they will be no where near as good as your videos, if i post some i will let you know!

[RGDoherty]

Great rendition of this classic piece. The stylings make me thing of the late Jerry Reed's guitar stylings.

[MynZnusz]

whii!!!!

[RGDoherty]

Awesome!



[HermannPalmer]

In Germany it is called "natural talent"

[Jeteso2009]

hey Sungha ... try a nitro's freight train cover

[MrSloplayin13]

Dang Sungha, ur just plain good

[tazzarman]

Very good,almost the best but mr tallstrom s just pips you for style,a good 2nd though

[Immaculate416]

holy lord, ur amazing

[zempak1243]

Very talented boy)

[mrjulianbala]

you are ubelievable!

[bobozung11]

wowowow :)

[rongallant]

Elizabeth was around his age when she wrote this.

[collinsamps]

Superb!  Keep doing what you do! I had no idea this was the tallstrom version.

[justcallmemia]

:D

[breckandy]

A true American!

I adopted him.

[pfapdan]

@12001166 i agree however he is still so young, once he has some life experience, experiences' love and heart break and asks the question "what are we here for " then that boy is seriously going to have an arsenal of skills to touch is with

[Iaccept234]

Can Someone Give Me The Tabs For Free pls??Thank you if you do

[mizzahsalamo15]

his guitar has a 12 strings., and there are 4 pair of hands playing!! :D

[mcusys]

Elizabeth Cotten right?

[itsmebrad]

Teh probably can't play his toothbrush but less a 6 or 12 string........Sungha is great

[12001166]

This guys like Nina in black swan. technically very good, but he doesnt touch you

[guitarxgaming64]

@12001166 yes he does you fucking moron. bet you've never touched a guitar

[ADVENTualy]

This young man !!!!! (I sang this song in the 50's to skiffle) ... Great to listen to it freshly, played solo guitar. Brings it alive again. Thanks

[MrsPaintblue]

awesome :)

[lesstratbelman]

Beautiful!

[Dankychron]

I already had mad respect for you... but knowing that you like this kind of music puts my respect for you off the charts!

[natali9700]

Listen to ur guitar makes me wanna swing...love u Sungha 

[veniels]

great

[loveS2sarang]

39idiots 

[hot585vein486]

thats what we call,,guitar plucking,,,nice one

[PickinNgrinin]

damn nigga.

[jonasjar]

good playing, sure, but I would never buy a cd or pay a ticket for a show like this. Yes, thats what I thought, a more or less exact copy of Tallstrom.

[bobcyclo]

@jonasjar it's your opinion!! I'd buy a ticket or a CD anytime from Sungha!

[JamieGibsonGuitar]

@jonasjar Some one is jealous!

[angeladavis77]

ugh fucking adds ;-(

[wafiX12]

the fish behind him just dancing...coz the music great..!!!!!!!!!!

[sinisterfw]

very well played. Really like your version.

[takenpluck]

nice music.... pleasant sound!

[mbeat28]

this guy is so great that i personally get feeling he was forced into it by his parents.

[Akukumar420]

Awesome!!

[halllashalllas]

i would like to be one of his fish, so i could listen all this masterpiece all day long!

[xxxxgame]

what's guitar name -- ? lakewood?!

[schizonoidable]

@xxxxgame It is indeed Lakewood. :) Go to his site and you'll know the history of that guitar. :)

[xxxxgame]

@schizonoidable OH okay :D btw i checked ur channel

[schizonoidable]

@xxxxgame Oh! See i am checking your channel too. :) How cool is that? :) *high five*

[xxxxgame]

@schizonoidable :S thats sad U wont find anything ! i play acoustic n classical guitar  BUt i donT ve a good cam to record :D

[djcucumbaslice]

@xxxxgame yep

[Leutchik]

Good Chet Atkins style, but I agree that the haircut is not good. But then, what would Americans know about Korean haircut styles? Duh!

Not looking at the camera whatsoever might be a totally cool Korean custom, but for non-Asians it strikes us either as weirdly shy or disdainful. I'll have to check out some Korean newscasts. Maybe they stare off into space or look at their feet while they deliver the news.

96% of the comments on Sungha are in English, though, right?

[videomakkers]

38 idiotas

[conopono]

that is one badass haircut, not going to lie.

[Romamb]

@conopono his hair is kool. he got a good look going on

[hanafaiqoh]

like this sound ever ...!!!

[Romamb]

much too much like chet atkins, you're a godd picker but you dont get it. :(

[4s2work]

@Romamb What doesn't he get?

[Romamb]

@4s2work i guess you dont get it too. have a listen to the original, think about it...hopefully then you will understand. dont worry if you dont, as not everyone is able to :)

[buggld]

Fishies.

[Kevenre]

@pwnage9090 anybody owns bieber

[mariaaulfa]

do you see HIM? he? yes, one words. AMAZING

[bigbosco75]

This was my dads favorite song to play on his guitar, he used to play it for me when I was a kid. Brought a tear to my eye, thanks for bringing back some good memories!

[LUCASTHEGOD]

SUPER MARIO THEME SONG!!!! thumbs up if you agree

[TTplaya]

@LUCASTHEGOD

OH YEAH!!!

Super Mario or Zelda Theme!!!

That would be sooo awesome.

[Ibakebiscuits]

i'm impressed! It actually looks like there is a person inside when he plays now, not a systematic asian guitar playing robot. ALMOST

[pwnage9090]

OMG HE OWNED JUSTIN BIEBER.

[bambooslover]

nice journey =D

[puppecki]

would anyone want to inform me about the tuning of the song ?? anyone?

[Peterozo94]

@puppecki is standard tuning

[puppecki]

@Peterozo94 thank you!!!

[huberdonna]

[geoffpeterstrio]

[heyletsplay]

i really don't understand what would bring anyone to press the dislike button. i mean, he's so good!

[puppecki]

@heyletsplay jealousy would bring them to press the dislike button!... what a shame .... haha

[evErLaStingFlOWerbUd]

I think he's cute x3

[Echi2712]

well done mate..you have become a big boy now..keep up your wonderful job...

[KevinVang1000]

Bravo!

[eddybebe90]

I find it impressive, that he keeps improving. That's awesome I can't wait until he gets older.

[airborneassasin]

36 people wish they were Japanese..

[lilstryer]

@airborneassasin he is korean.

[fingerposer]

you make it look so easyyyyy

[Racking40]

Fantastic!!

[codenameisblah]

36 people are jealous of the fish...

[poopieLSY]

[MrYuriPC]

Nem precisa de vocalista ! O.O

[MultiSteini]

[tetsuky]

[hahaha2411]

[flamecryst]

[MrJakeSG]

@flamecryst I dont like the way he plays... I absolutely LOVE how he plays.

[Rattrapped]

People that disliked this viedo are GAY, they are probally jealuous cuz he's got skill.

JEALEUOUS GAY WHOLES THAT DISLIKED THIS VIDEO, DISLIKE SOMEWHERE else

[lynington]

You must have worked hard to have got Martin's arrangement down so well,

great performance, I can't for the life of me imagine why 36 people should choose to rate this with a thumbs down?

[Everlastboy75]

the song reminds me of maryland for some reason. its just fantastic and the fish were a good touch

[Toneporter]

I like your fish :)

[alexandrelarafortes]

ops corrigindo.

D-F#-A-F#-D-F#-A-F#-A-E-A-E-A-­E agora ja nem sei acabei de tirar isso - -'

[alexandrelarafortes]

eu ja tirei tudo,mas é dificil pegar polegar que fica fazendo o baixo

D-F#-A-E-D-F#-A-E-A-E-A-E ...se eu ao menos tivesse aula de violao.

=/

[59hjh]

진짜 최고네요

[CoolCuz223]

what are those things on sungha's fingers?

[Schlorky]

@CoolCuz223 These are fingerpicks, cause he has no finger nails left to pick the strings...

[gwendie]

strings sound fucking new

[foxygranpa6]

@gwendie:

Perhaps the strings are new, as you say. One of his sponsors is Elixir Strings, so he probably has access to all the new strings he needs, free of charge. I doubt that he abuses his equipment, but he does extract from it everything that the designer put in to it.

[toady115]

That's some mighty nice pickin there friend. Thanks for posting it.

[boogy4you]

he has met so many great guitarists - but why not Leo Kottke?!

oh come on! could someone arrange this?

[lester750]

I'm sure these 36 people disliked the video just because they are jealous

[VocalStudent]

I thought that u are girl! upsss...need haircut.

[TehReeves]

I wanna see him play a 12 string.

[kondilas85]

@TehReeves

[magedoom379]
