[MrShayFan]

jesus christ stop pretending to be a lil boy Q_Q

[sompopthailand]

All notes is blinking in his brain. Every notes is in his brain links to his finger. All notes run to his guitar.

[dennisbosworth]

I've been playing for over 40 years and have made up my mind to give it up after watching and hearing this......just kidding! Thank you for this great work! I'm embarassed to have you visit my channel but you may find something there to enjoy.

[Neppybutt]

Effortless & Flawless. Dayum! Sungha is the "Chosen One".

[schnisha95]

hahaha we finger pickers do have more fun :P i don't like using picks :P

[eeveefan14]

@schnisha95: I use both, pick is for my electric, but I do have lots more fun fingerpicking. I'm starting to use my electric less everyday, as well XD

[schnisha95]

@eeveefan14 yeah i just hate using picks :)

[prelaser]

[weruletheschool]

[roberto4396]

Fingerpickers do have more fun ^_^

[justfingerstyle]

I love it SOOOOO much! :)))

[mother669]

Quite amazing!! Sure gives one an inferiority complex to see such talent at such an early age. Congratulations and good luck in the future.

[mimosakhoo]

nice

[chicaa1994]

very good :O

[wfridae]

I have been watching Sungha for quite some time. This is truly one of the most amazing songs I've seen him play! What incredibly fast hands and excellent timing!

[hansvleeuwen]

amazing!

[1307mgm]

I'm here again.....watching you!!!!

[omelettecrap]

finger picking is the best!

[pkerlover]

finger pickers must have fun but using a pick pwns too, GUITAR OWNS

[kilgrim]

You are an Awesome guitarist ! Thanks for amazing 4 minutes ^^

[RomerNakata]

Around 1:29 is a real WOW.

[ralphian67]

So God decided to be a little boy who can play the shit out of the guitar just to freak us all out ? There's no explaining this .... It doesn't boggle the mind, it melts it.

That there is a one fine piece of guitar work.

[Illusiveojee]

Wow, wild stuff, man :)

[grandplans]

wow

[Bigerjoel]

You are one great and famous guitarist . Abolutely stunning and well executed . Thanks for this funny music moment ...

[TroyBilt007]

Keep it up lil buddy, keep it up. I listen to your videos three or four times a week and no matter how bad things have been you lift me up. Thank You

[omelettecrap]

you should listen to his music 60 to 200 times a day, since it lifts u up.

[AndyHyork2008]

Anyone got any ideas on the tuning? I'm thinking D, A, D, G, B, D but not 100% sure. I need some new ears!

[scotsmaninberlin]

DADGAD.

Have fun ........

[ChaosNinjaNz]

would there be a tab for this also? , cant find it for the life of me , id even be willing to learn to read sheet music for this number

[TheBeatleLoversThree]

this is one of the kids that is actually good at guitar!!!

[xGlowFliesx]

Hm, do you know what I love? When people criticize other peoples' spelling and grammar using chatspeak, bad grammar, no capitals, or apostrophes. It makes my day!

Seriously guys, must we make it our prerogative to take up entire comment sections with spelling corrections?

[aung0040]

so funny man.. to see all of you arguing for grammer error... this whole first comment page is made up with grammer argue instead of appreciating guitar play. ..Uhh, by the way, did i make any grammer mistake here? haha.. :D I am afriad..

[xGlowFliesx]

I know, this is completely ridiculous. Don't people have anything better to do with their time?

[zacknafein10]

lagit.

[atrinhhoai]

it's so fascinating to watch his fingers move faster than i've ever seen someone move ones fingers. its so awesome being a whitness of that

[jontanai]

how do u spell his name - INSANE

[RandomMocker]

you need to learn to count, and incorporate rubato.

[noraaron4321]

finger pickers do have more fun, deffinently.

[noraaron4321]

ooohhh!!! you should play satellite by dave matthews. that would be awesome!!

[Fannar95]

good job, i really like to listen to your playing! thanks again for a great song

[astgofa]

sick your awsome!!

rock on!☻

[jontay25]

pure genius!

[19fisHfOoD93]

WHAT THE... best guitar playing i've ever seen

[PyC1993]

In my opinion, he is quite close to being a protege

[adamdahood]

to whom?

[downhiller80]

I think you mean prodigy, right?

[PyC1993]

Yes, thanks for reminding me that that is how it's spelled... HAHA

[downhiller80]

Haha, no problem. I patrol YouTube daily to make sure people are using proper grammar, haha. jk

[x8smithm]

lol

[epv1]

that isn't grammar. That's spelling.

[downhiller80]

I could be on my own here, but I'm pretty sure if you use an incorrect word but spell it correctly, it's a grammar issue, not spelling.

Hooray to english language debates!  :)

[Bunechunk]

spelling is part of grammar.

[TwistyTravster]

actually is formally called spelling AND grammar. two different concepts

[Bunechunk]

don't you mean "it's"?

[TwistyTravster]

oh wow, the ignorance of people today astounds me.

i apologize, im typing comments for a bloody youtube video. excuse me, if i dont worry about having the greatest spelling in the world. i got my point got across and because you needed to feel better about yourself, you decided to try to by correcting me, i get it.

[Bunechunk]

Uh you missed a couple capitals and forgot the apostrophe in "I'm".

[TwistyTravster]

are you seriously that thick headed? THATS THE POINT EINSTEIN!!

[Bunechunk]

Erm, I believe it's "THAT'S".

[TwistyTravster]

what exactly are you trying to prove anyway?

[Bunechunk]

Again with the capitals...

[TwistyTravster]

im actually very interested in the answer to that question.

[Bunechunk]

I am done here. Away with you.

[TwistyTravster]

thats what i thought. haha.

[samanamian]

It's "that's"

[AirHendrix91]

Maybe its the fact that you are not grammatically correct?

[PanndaKat]

I'm quite sure you meant to say "it's" instead of "its"?

heh sorry. x3

[AirHendrix91]

Quite true. I thought it was OK to use "Its" instead of "It's" in that particular situation but you are right.

Thanks for noticing haha.

[bschot]

yes.... Classical Gas would be nice.!!

you can do it.

[debeaverbandit]

Your A breath of fresh airon that guitar. Can only wonder what kind of music you will be sharing with us ten years from now. I'd love to see you playing with likes of Jake Shimabukuro and Tommy Emanual.keep uo the good work.

[ttk1opc]

wow, whats gonna happen when his fingers grow?

[korsmonaut]

Or his legs! He might not be able to walk. Seriously, if he continues to play I'm sure he will have more reach, strength and further developed skill and touch.

[duhhh86]

he sure looks like he's having a great deal of fun!

[shootnreload]

Smile little boy smile!!!!! If i could just see you smiling. It would make your videos even better.

[morcal84]

can i adopt you?

[renaudmaret]

i think he doesn't need it...his parents seem to have taken care of him welll enough

[odoreen]

wow.. watching this amazing talent makes me high..

God bless him

[leonbongulto]

what are those behind you books??they llok like dvd's to me ahahah...great finger picking...wow..

[Baeker25]

cd's..

[luoxuan841028]

so cute!!!!

[meanlale123]

wow you wouldnt think that a kid that age could play so freken good

[DaniloAndrei]

hihihi so fast

[Paulmcxxx]

As the nephew of a former musical child prodigy, I hope they let this kid be a kid. My uncle Christian could play guitar brilliantly, in fact he could play any instrument he picked up...but he ended up an alcholic by the time he was 20 and died at 28. This kid is very talented, I am looking forward to seeing him improve. Let's see if he can have fun too.

[Webendowed]

I agree....youth only lasts so long..

[Hawtcha]

Dude...I have so much respect for you and your words. I was thinking the same thing. Though, I could listen to this guitar all night, all of us should make an example. I hope everybody who reads these comments will remember to work hard and live life to the fullest.

[Webendowed]

I'm glad I've discovered this kid...I'm gonna have fun watching him grow....His musical talents are abundant. I only wish I had a fraction of that talent...would make all the years of practice worth it... I'm gonna remember your name because I belieive I will be hearing it in the years to come.. :)

[tjsqltjsql]

he definetely needs to buy his own 'HAND-INSURANCE'.

[ahhreggi]

Honestly, I never was into this kind of music. But jeez, watching Sungha turned things completely around. This is pure amazingness :D

[donteatmewheniskate]

YOU ARE THE NEXT JESUS!!!!

[del22w]

your finger playing and harmonics, alongside the clarity of the notes are mad crazy... completely awesome..how old are you?? becasue i mean you put most to shame, including myself.. keep it up man!! :D

[pkerlover]

...amazing...

[theORCAdivide]

WOW! You are freaking amazing. I wouldn't believe that you were so freaking young. Dang. Keep playing man, you'll be one of the top guitarists the world has seen in a while.

Alicia - the OR

[kgriff65]

absolutely stunning. Spellbinding.

[bigibug]

dude.. im not really into what u do!

but still ur a guitar genius!!!

keep it up!

[SkylineToTheSeaAndMe]

That is so impressive, its beyond comprehension.

I have been playing a long time but I'm nowhere near as good as you. Just by watching your videos, I can be exposed to many fingerstyle songs I have never heard before.

[killemquick0]

1:29 to 1:32 wow. :)

[olyvvia]

as always.. BRILLIANT!

[GR8XKP]

aghbagh..what is it man?...you just jealous because you couldnt carry a tune in a bucket? This kid has more talent than 90% of all the amateur guitar players I've seen on you tube.

[Killedbyfome]

i want ur autograph :>

[tullball888]

Truly amazing. He apparently loves music, check out the CD's in the background.

[chinobass73]

holy shit teach me how to play like that... Im sure you will do a tutorial or something in some years...!

[brows08]

Unreal...what an ending!!

[chocochia83]

Amazing as always..

Keep it real..

and please..don't do drugs..^^;

your fan

[gawshurface7924]

where the heck did drugs come from?

lmao deh don't make you better O_O;;

[danospunk]

i think it was just a word of advice like stay in school lol

[marcusgael]

Sungha yet again you given another mesmerising display of musicianship! Hats off to you!

[afr087]

*bows* down... im jealous no jokes!

but seriously After andy mckee you be my new idol = D

[jmoisesreyes]

wow you remind me of Charlie Byrd man... Charlie was an awesome guitarist... Please play some Jazz and/or Bossanova.

[enroserie]

whoooaaaa. I'm so jealous!! Don't ever stop playing, unless you stop enjoying it - then you SHOULD stop. I hope you always love it though because I will always love watching your videos!

[NICHANnel]

You're incredible, an amazement to everybody.

[yamahajii]

you will be a great,great,great guitar teacher in the future.I bet you will be!!!

[trampleonjohn]

Sungha is an amazing guitarist,incredible for his age.I would love to hear him play Mason Williams Classical Gas.I bet he would do Mason proud!!!!!

[turkamine]

Amazingly fantastic

[vpm021]

wow he plays pretty good the guitar..and it´s only a child! really amazing

[yamahajii]

finger pickers,you are an expert!!! me? no

[Galileo258]

Je rêve ?

[joel622]

A mon avis ,c'est diffile à jouer ;pas à conseiller à un débutant (ca risquerai d'être très long à se décanter) ...Sungha Jung ;l'enfant prodige de la guitare .

[MikeLibman]

Wow I remember when he first started Youtube.... amazed me then that such a young player had such talent... he was very messy and got alot of crackly sounds... now hes on FIRE.... keep rockin hard Sungha Jung, you're and idol to us all :)

[DELSMUSIC]

freak'n wickid...i been playing for a long time and this kids is just amazing..wa tuning are you using

[L0kd0Wn]

제가 마이스페이스를 개설했을때, 먼저 찾아와 친구신청을 해주신 분이세요. 칭찬하는 메세지도 남겨주셨구요~

얼마전 프랑크푸르트 뮤직쇼에서 울리아저씨와 만나 제 얘기를 나누셨다네요^^

울리의 얘기론 거의 모든 연주자들이 저를 알고있다고 하더라구요~

연주하기 재미있고, 신나는 곡입니다~"

2008.05.12

[DarkerFate]

Great song, little one :)

[throwingcopper55]

Its like an acoustic vamp. Nice job, amazing.

[djwesley74701]

Nice.....Very nice.

[rarix1]

you play like Nils Lofgren!!

[jonopart]

amazing fingerstyle!!!it took me long times to learned,we have a new prodigy.He only 11 years old.

[ProFriend]

If it will make you feel any worse (lol), he's only been playing for three years!

[ProFriend]

And, he's self-taught. No teacher, ever.

[jonborne]

riiiight..

obvious note-teached.

200%

[Bioflavoid]

Note teached?

[Cwalkaaa]

your stupid as fuck. he takes guitar classes retard. get ur shit straight son.

[ProFriend]

And you are as rude as they come. In fact, he only recently began taking classical guitar lessons, never for finger-style. That was entirely self-taught.

[sarahemilies]

He is taking CLASSICAL lessons. But in all the videos he has on youtube he plays fingerstyle, and that is selftaught.

[dpsadin]

Who doesn't have their stuff stright, Cwalkaaa? Seriously, getting facts wrong and cussing on this kids videos...change your ways seriously and realize this kid's being a prodigy.

[lVlaplecrazygirl]

even if he got guitar lessons he would be good for someone about his age. and go talk shit about some other person don't bother to comment

[benowens121]

dude even if he does he ownz you

[hurdong]

he's teacher = you..

[jonborne]

You can tell by the positioning in some parts ;)

Nice though.

[logocool528]

强大~~

[Raebot]

you're like august rush i can't believe how talented you are and at such a young age...are you going to record any cds? and do you have any of your own compositions yet? keep me posted I'd totally buy an album off you even if they were just popular songs from other artists...also have you ever played all the pretty little horses...its my favorite song ever and I would love to hear your take on it.

[foxygranpa6]

Raebot: Two of his videos are his own composition: 'Voyages With Ulli', and 'Missing You'.

[Raebot]

ahhh thank you thank you. are you related in any way or just an avid listener?

[foxygranpa6]

Raebot: No, I am not a relative. I have loved good guitar music (not just strumming with no skill)ever since I can remember. I enjoy listening to old masters such as Andres Segovia, Chet Atkins, John Williams. Here on YouTube Sosauto is very good.

Youngsters on YouTube like PKW101 and this little boy help to assure me that the future of the guitar is in good hands.

Please click on this boy's father (jwcfree, in the upper right corner) to learn more, and access more of their videos.

[Rocco540]

that guitar sounds amazing

[epiphoneover18]

I don't believe in god. I believe in talent and practice :)

[johnstangg]

this kid is single handedly responsible for making me never try to sue my fingers again. there's no use... I'll stick with the pick because I'll never match up...

[hotsaucesoo]

wow

[GentleGrace]

Whta a blessing. I pray that he gives his all to the LORD and touches multitudes as his gifting is concecrated to the LORD. Again what a blessing.

Do folks know the discipline that he is given too. And how finger picking is tough on them there fingers, why so many turn to picks and loose so much. What a trooper and what a blessing yes I will keep saying this :)

[thiemogamma]

Fuck the lord

[Zeratuhl]

I have to say I find it annoying how some of the more vocal religious people here on youtube are so quick to attributing impressive feats of talent to an almighty god, almost as if saying that the person couldn't have done this on their own and must've been helped by god.

Is it really that hard to accept that this is an incredibly talented boy and that he is in fact so good that no god had to reach out and help him? You're basically insulting him with those statements.

[GentleGrace]

All talents and gifts come from the LORD. This young man, as I noted, worked hard to accomplish all that he has with his art. That goes with all people.

We love the LORD, and He is worthy of praise in and thorugh each day and as we desire to give to Him. I am sorry you do not understand what it means to give the One you love thanks, praise and adoration. There will come a day all will see Him for who He is, and understand the awesome love that is given to Him.

[johnstangg]

gentle race... come on. he obviously did not have to work TOO hard it was mostly pure natural skill... you don't learn this --

[SteveJustGotRandom]

People like you annoy Me gentlegrace...I agree with Zeratuhl...you are insulting him by saying that he must have been helped by god...makes no sense to Me.

[MangH0]

Wow, this is the funniest thing I've ever read.

:D

[FrizzyHeadx]

I know im gettign involved in someone elses arguement here, but im sure gentlegrace isnt saying God reached out and helped him. There saying and i agree all Talents come form God, not that God miraculously gave him the power to play guitar. God gave him a gift as he has everyone, and this boy has used this gift and obviously practised with it. Im not gnna shove my beliefs down my throat, just felt the need to help gentleGrace out cos of what everyone was saying, Inspiring guy! xx

[just6822]

The only reason that this has so many replies and negative views is because he put LORD in capitals.

All of you are being childish.

[Chainmail]

he is guitar god

[onegrayghost]

more like a godlet hahaha. This kid is amazing.

[chrisgilroy19]

brilliant stuff weee man, your a legend

[spyderwalk]

uh . .He's Korean . .

[drmorning]

Oh really?

They are skillful. Hm~.....

[foxygranpa6]

aghbagh: Pornographers are fond of telling decent people who object to their filth, "If you don't like it, change the channel. No one is forcing you to watch."

I'm no fan of pornographers, and I'm certainly not equating Sungha's beautiful art with their filth. But I do recommend that you take their advice: If you don't like Sungha, change the channel. Watch someone else. No one will miss you here, and you, Sungha, all of his fans, and I myself will all be happier.

[lilxAPluvaboi]

y'know, sungha actually reads some of the comments posted...so that means you're insulting him right in front of his face.

TO A KID NONETHELESS!

please do not ruin a kids dreams...read the channel if you dont believe he reads them

[Tobsson]

Whats wrong with you? He's pure awesomeness

[aghbagh]

o my bad

i should've been more specific

it was a reply so i thought u guys would understand

it was a comment aimed at BiggieHaddad

i totally respect Sungha nd yes he is awesome
