I always listen out for tone rather than technique and this is just gorgeous.(not lacking in technique either) One has to remember this child's age and those tiny fingers.
Every note is clear..not cluttered..not over played...no showing off as is the case with shredders on yt..
I really love this video ...the song he's chosen is perfect for his technique.
Segovia shows how to hold the guitar, how to CARESS the guitar. Sungha Jung has a beautiful talent but should watch videos of the master, and start by holding the instrument properly...
i love this song so much and sing it at karaoke but this is by far one of the best verssions i have heard for young talented boy please tell me age and culture like china thai ect
Sungha Jung was born September 2, 1996 in South Korea, where he still lives with his parents, grandmother, younger sister, and a little dog name Coco.
He's been playing guitar since the age of 9 or thereabouts. His incredible ability has attracted the friendship of several of the world's best guitarists, and the sponsorship of several electronics makers, Lakewood Guitars, Elixir Strings, etc. He has produced 2 CDs, and has given concerts all over the world.
@akira6666666 This is actually the very first thing I've heard Sungha play. I replied to you going from memory of what I'd just heard. So I played the video again and tried to be objective. He's still forming his finger strength at this stage. I can tell emotional development in a guitar player by how well they do what I call 'chronic subtle vibrato'. Four players who have mastered this are Tommy Iomi,Tony Mottola, Jimmy Page, and Alex Lifeson ( especially on 'Rush' & Caress of Steel).
this kid is great, for his age, technically he is amazing, but unfortunately there is no emotion, no conviction in his playing. Sadly you see this a lot with young asians, so focused on playing it right, they forget to absorb the song as they share it with us. :( robots for you.....
@akira6666666 I've been playing guitar for 32 years. At 18 I went to the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). I got in because my audition tape showed lots of emotion even though my technical abilities were probably average. Ultimately the institute tries to produce working studio musicians. To this day I can't sight read for squat, but I can get through a fake book/ real book chart okay. I'm a good judge of feeling & IMO this boy has it! T While at GIT I was amazed at how many players didn't.
Everyone seems to have all these self-intros :) Hi Sungha, my name is Sarah and I'm from the UK. You play amazingly and I've never seen someone with such talent with a guitar! Please never ever quit! :)
Hi Sungha, my name is Olga from Miami, Fl. I just want to say that you play like an angel, awesome job. Do you play any christian contemporary music? I love that you play oldies.
no one really disliked it - those are just little kids being funny. Any real guitarist has no choice but to appreciate Sungha and his dedication to that which he loves.
My goodness, I stopped by the check out your video and I have to say, I am truly AMAZED!!!!! You have a wonderful gift and play beautifully! Two thumbs up and God bless you......Vicky
This is wonderful. Great arrangement, played so expressively. I've played professionally for 35 years, and this shows enormous maturity for his age and even more promise. Go get 'em, S.
People, please refrain from making bad comments. If you had 10% of the talent sungha has, you would be conducting music lessons. Please be respectful. He is a small child. And so gifted. Encourage him.
You are absolutely amazing. I'm crying! Your music took my breath away. Keep it up; you'll go a long way. I hope to see your cds in stores soon so that I can buy them. Thank you for such an uplifting experience. It was wonderful.
Hi Sungha, my name is Stefan, and I come from Germany. I play keyboards and had own Oldieband till some years. Already for a long time I admire and marvels at your many-faceted and diverse play which you prove by now during young years in your videos every time again on the new one. I love to listen to you and pleases me on still even more of it. Continue thus - all love from Germany.
You're very good. How old are you? what 10 - 11? Very impressive at such a young tender age. You play the old songs as if you lived in the times when they were written and performed by the artists themselves. Such feeling and depth. The melodies are right. Amazing!
I have been playing classical and electric guitar for at least ten years now and all I can say is WOW. This little guy has a gift, for him to be so young and be so technically skilled, I think he is Andres Segovia reincarnated. He plays it to perfection. I can't stop watching his videos lol
Wow this song in particular made me want to cry... I just closed my eyes and fell into the music. I also love the fact that he keeps improving over time... Even the first vids when he was just 10 years old were amazing but he seemed very focused on getting it right and playing fast,,, now his style seems a lot more relaxed and effortless, something that I appreciate. I'm sure he'll be able to play any style as he gets older and has more experience.
in the 2040s when u hear of earthquakes occurrying everyday run to the hills away from shorelines cause the big shake will be soon, where earth shakes everywhere at the same time.
hola muchacho soy harvin pues estoy impresionado verte tocar la guitara eres lo mas impresionante que mis hojos han visto tu eres lo major. te felicito de seguro en todo el mundo no hay otro como tu. haces ala guitarra cantar y hablar felisidades campion eres el numero uno
This kid IS amazing....but i wish ppl would stop giving him credit for the reworked songs......if u just look where it says arranged by...u can see...every single song he has posted on youtube was arranged by someone else and he is just performing them.

So, we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving, And the moon be still as bright.
For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul wears out the breast,
And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest.
Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon,
Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon. ,,,BY George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
