@baguel criticisms are what help you grow and in this case, where sungha's ability is undeniable, it is evident that he lacks the soulful connection to the listeners that andy mckee exudes from every one of his songs. doesn't make sungha a bad guy. tis another lesson to learn.
he has no soul at all cause he's an asian, guitar playing is all about emotions and feelings, his emotionless face reflects he's just playing and not feeling the song.
@miyavizim are you kidding? what he must do then? turn his head 360 degrees? check his own compositions if you want emotions..or just close your eyes and listen to the song. Then you will fell emotions.
This kid has his idols just like everybody.... Shure that mckee is one of shungha's idol, and because he has great and blessed ears he can make a really good cover of this song.
Stop criticize the kid, he his young and have a lot of time to get better and better.
@37andrus i have to disagree with you because i didn't like this version it has no feel just alot of strumming which is very good but not enough feeling in the intro and bridges BWT good cover as compare to others :)
I really can't make any note of this song, i know it, i'm not a good guitar player, but Andy McKee doesn't make his song for the fact of showing the way that he surprisingly plays the guitar!
Sungha plays awesome! but there are the problem... the music is not that... is not a competition of who plays better, who plays fast, who plays more notes in a chord... the music is about soul, about make a message, and this kid is just showing his abbilities.
@Feli74217 Awesome words, you're right. When I listen to Andy I can feel his feelings. That's what I like from his songs. I don't like the competition in the music's world, that's not the point. All that matters is the heart that the musician puts on his compositions. That's beautiful (:
@Feli74217 give the kid a break... why hate on the kid... take it for wat it is. He's playin someone else's music. He does something most ppl can't even immitate at twice his age.
@Feli74217 i agree with your meaning of music. however i feel as if maybe this kid is playing andy's song because he liked it and wanted to perform it by himself rather than just watching it. not everything is about competition, we all have our own reasons. i would love to play this song, not for competetion, but for the beauty of the music. it's absolutely amazing.
@Feli74217 Why do you think this KID isnt able to play with alot of feeling!? Why do you think this KID only got the ability to show his skills or abilities? maybe it is just because he is a fucking KID??!? He is REALLY young, when he gets to Andy's age, he will show just as much feeling if not more than Andy!!
@guitarxgaming64: I agree, it is too much to ask for a child to play with feelings they have not experienced yet. And how is he supposed to play sending a message if he doesn't know what the message is? This is not his own song, it's Andy's.
@Rapidfire55x: I'm familiar with him, I know he's great. But they were not the same age when they uploaded it. Sungmin is 15, Sungha had just turned 13 when he uploaded it. I'm sure he'd play it a lot better now.
@SharonGuitar500 Probably, but you made a generalization when you said that "it is too much to ask for a child to play with feelings that they have not experienced yet." Sungmin is 15 right now, which in many people's eyes would still be considered a child. Sometimes, people underestimate and don't understand what children at a young age go through these days.
they have tablature for these lovely compossed songs online Ive learned quite a bit,even after16 yrs of experience this is hard stuff!!! but its pretty newly invented,Im tripping alot of people out by playing these riffs
To create and play a piece of music like this true you honestly have to have lived life and played in situations that make the music as meaningful as it is. I think he is good! just doesn't have that same feel
More soul, young man. By now, you've probably gotten much better and have learned and understanded what I've meant by that. Love and soul make a true man smile, not materialistic possesions (off subject) lol
@XxJailhawkkxX no, its not just you, dude. His tempo is all over the place. Frankly, it drives me nuts. But he's already better than me at Andy McKee tunes. Just started learning For My Father last week, and I know I have several months of work ahead of me. And I've been playing guitar for 15 years.
@XxJailhawkkxX - It's called a cover for a reason, he is doing his own rendition of it so before you trash talk somebody who has better skills than you, learn it for yourself.
I have been playing in excess of 40 years and I'm impressed by this piece, as well as this player. As for the "poker face" comment, I call it a "Guitar Face". Definition- a look of intense concentration from someone who cares about playing it right! No foul. Without soul, this young man wouldn't have had the dedication to put in the practice time neccesary to learn this difficult arrangement. I hope he keeps it up.
Great techniques for a person of that age, And people should really stop trying to criticize him, sure he's not Andy Mckee, but a kid that can imitate a world class professional's songs with such confidence in they way he plays it speaks for itself. just imagine how far this kid will have gone at the age of 30! great work in my opinion and i admire him spending probably his whole childhood playing to get this good, and that's not always positive but i hope his parents are as proud as i would be.
I dont know, why people criticize this kid so much, about him having no soul in his music. Look at him now writing his own songs, and sounds almost as nice as andy some of andy mckee's songs. Soul isn't put on facial expressions, but into the way you play your music. (not saying that facial expression mean nothing.)
ye sorry i like it but its nowhere near as good as the original. mainly because your literally just copying it i dont see any enjoyment goin on here or really getting into the song.. next time just play it for the heck of playing it and not making it a competition..
Of course it's not like an Andy, but... he's only 12 there, do you know anyone kid who playing in his 12 years like him? Can you imagine what he will do with the guitar when he'll grow up?)
I didn't know it was possible with an Andy McKee song. But i actually got bored with this video. Granted, this kid is good. But he's so God dang soulless and... blah... you know??? He completely butchered any feeling and emotion that originally came through the song and made it seem mechanical, Black and White, and depressing. :/ but that's just my humble opinion.
Too all those who criticize this young man's playing is "too fast": he's probably too young to handle the emotion within this piece, but neither was this the purpose of the video. This is just a show-off of his fierce guitar skill, by challenging this masterpiece at such a young age.
BTW, he was on stage along with Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel during BAGC2010.
@TheTwoThumbs He does seem to be struggling a couple of times, but you're absoulutely right. This song is incredibly difficult to play. And for his age, he's incredible. Go Sungha!
alright, i agree, the kid isn't playing with soul. but why should he? its not his song. he is like what... 10 years old? he is doing better than most guitarists that are like 50 years old. i'm sure that if he write a song of his own, it would have plenty on soul to it.
@NeverTellMeNo Soul? Who are you to tell a musician that they're not playing with soul? It's up to Sungha to decide whether or not hes playing with 'soul'.
I don't feel the same...fullness I guess?....for lack of a better word, as I do when I listen to the original by Andy, but this version is also spectacular. Take a beautiful masterpiece like this song and let two amazing guitarists let it run free through the strings and only good things can happen. =)
for a kid, even not getting some notes and and a lot of timing fails, this is grand, Sungha have a bright future, i cant wait to see his work when hes at his early 20's.
@RicardoBatistaPassos ....In case you are new to him, he is the most viewed guitarist on the internet as of now and has already written about 19 songs and several arrangements already. He has been touring around the world and jamming with many great guitarists too.
@vietcheesesteak no, im not new to him, ive know him since 2007, ive seen his progress over all his youtube uploads, and yes ive seen him playing with several, not many "great guitarrists" but i dont know much about his own work, if you say 19, that i dont know, thanks for the information, ill search his own material, looking foward to it.
stop saying bullshit... he es no mathematic... he just are concentrated becouse is a hard piece of music.... if you want soul... CLOSE YOUR FUCKING EYES AND LISTEN THE MUSIC... then talk about soul...
Yes, some parts may be a bit off, but come in guy's. If you can't do better then just stop talking. He hasd to practice hard to get to where he is now. Please follow his example.
zzzz... just cause they say your a prodigy.... who cares , its not like your the best.. thats why you wont beat legends. who put heart and soul in music
@siggism@8oblivious8 missing passion? no soul? now tell me.. since when did passion and soul became visible? you know, the soul of the music played and the passion of its artist are not something finite - both are not seen but are felt. You may say that you didn't feel the song but who knows? This kid might be playing this song with his whole heart. just sayin.
@8oblivious8 define soul. What does he have to do, go into some spiritual trance or some shit since when was it not enough to just be fuckin awsome on the guitar
@TheReilly8 This guy plays it too fast, and just worries about the notes as oppose to musical quality. He plays so fast at the beginning in fact that his music is too jumpy, and not a smoothly flowing song that was demonstrated by McKee. If he would just slow down and play more relaxed then perhaps this would be way more musical. I am not saying that this lil guy sucks, just that better music isnt always faster. This guy has hella talent, but he needs to play muscially, not mathematically.
@8oblivious8 Try working your way through ABRSM music theory and you might change your mind. I see what you mean about the soul of the piece but it's a very difficult song just too be able to play
@8oblivious8 If you just understood, that the soul itself is the mathematical expresion of god, mathematics it's the very machine that runs music, art and love itself! but people today are sick in the sense of thinking that the good things of life and in the world are the ones that are easy, comfortable and do not require effort, like pleasure and food. They don't realize that mathemathical reflexion of our minds is really the most glorious and beautiful gift in our nature.
@0Sebek0 music can be mathematical, and quite robotic if you interperet how you did;
-press this now pluck this now according to this mathematical division
real music is from the soul, it flows and is fluent, thats what you hear and see watching andy mckee, Sungha is talented but he lacks that musical maturity and thats what hes saying, wich is fair enough.. this kid will go far however
@8oblivious8 thats a problem when ppl are so young they learn it and dosent rly know what they are doing but im sure hell get more soul when he gets older:)
@8oblivious8 What are u smokin that Music Isnt Mathematic, Bpm its a RATE, uhm the notes are Divided up into Quarters, eighths, etc..all fractions.. Its all math bro, since day one its been math
@8oblivious8 No man. If he don't bob his head that doesn't mean he dont feel the music. If he dont have soul and dont feel the music how he will play it LOL? He feel it, he just dont show it :)
@8oblivious8 I'd have to agree there. It WAS a little fast.. sure he's young, but i don't believe that should be an excuse because he's practically got the guitar mastered and his skill shows it. And it DID look like he was just going through the motions and not really enjoying it. But still... i can't argue with results. Awesome job in my opinion. He's bound to be one of the best.
@8oblivious8 i would like to see you playing this ass! like brahyam said hes concentrated, btw, i bet that when you were his age u wer playing mindless videogames, and u probably still are. And probably you havent picked up a fucking guitar in your life so shut the fuck up!
@SpanishCousins If so much people doesnt agree with him, then why the votes to the comment? I bet people think his way but they arent brave enough to say it out loud.
@goh145 if he dosent like it then he dosent need to watch it, i dont go putting negative comments on videos i dont like u know? i have better stuff 2 do

@RicardoBatistaPassos ....In case you are new to him, he is the most viewed guitarist on the internet as of now and has already written about 19 songs and several arrangements already. He has been touring around the world and jamming with many great guitarists too.

@vietcheesesteak no, im not new to him, ive know him since 2007, ive seen his progress over all his youtube uploads, and yes ive seen him playing with several, not many "great guitarrists" but i dont know much about his own work, if you say 19, that i dont know, thanks for the information, ill search his own material, looking foward to it.

Awesome intonation, but not as smooth as McKee. Still, obviously ahead of most your age.

Yes, some parts may be a bit off, but come in guy's. If you can't do better then just stop talking. He hasd to practice hard to get to where he is now. Please follow his example.

Not to bag you out (because I'm not half the guitarist that you are) but its missing passion
siggism 1 year ago
@siggism @8oblivious8 missing passion? no soul? now tell me.. since when did passion and soul became visible? you know, the soul of the music played and the passion of its artist are not something finite - both are not seen but are felt. You may say that you didn't feel the song but who knows? This kid might be playing this song with his whole heart. just sayin.

good techniques but too fast and without soul :-(
music isnt mathematic
8oblivious8 1 year ago 97
@8oblivious8 define soul. What does he have to do, go into some spiritual trance or some shit since when was it not enough to just be fuckin awsome on the guitar
TheReilly8 11 months ago
@TheReilly8 This guy plays it too fast, and just worries about the notes as oppose to musical quality. He plays so fast at the beginning in fact that his music is too jumpy, and not a smoothly flowing song that was demonstrated by McKee. If he would just slow down and play more relaxed then perhaps this would be way more musical. I am not saying that this lil guy sucks, just that better music isnt always faster. This guy has hella talent, but he needs to play muscially, not mathematically.

@8oblivious8 Try working your way through ABRSM music theory and you might change your mind. I see what you mean about the soul of the piece but it's a very difficult song just too be able to play

@8oblivious8
it has a soul..it's fast because it just flows with his heart
davidangelo08 11 months ago
@8oblivious8 If you just understood, that the soul itself is the mathematical expresion of god, mathematics it's the very machine that runs music, art and love itself! but people today are sick in the sense of thinking that the good things of life and in the world are the ones that are easy, comfortable and do not require effort, like pleasure and food. They don't realize that mathemathical reflexion of our minds is really the most glorious and beautiful gift in our nature.

@0Sebek0 music can be mathematical, and quite robotic if you interperet how you did;
-press this now pluck this now according to this mathematical division
real music is from the soul, it flows and is fluent, thats what you hear and see watching andy mckee, Sungha is talented but he lacks that musical maturity and thats what hes saying, wich is fair enough.. this kid will go far however

owenotley 8 months ago
@8oblivious8 I'd have to agree there. It WAS a little fast.. sure he's young, but i don't believe that should be an excuse because he's practically got the guitar mastered and his skill shows it. And it DID look like he was just going through the motions and not really enjoying it. But still... i can't argue with results. Awesome job in my opinion. He's bound to be one of the best.

@8oblivious8 i would like to see you playing this ass! like brahyam said hes concentrated, btw, i bet that when you were his age u wer playing mindless videogames, and u probably still are. And probably you havent picked up a fucking guitar in your life so shut the fuck up!
