[TUBESTEAKNIG]

[deatheb]

Who gives a fuck if he's missing some things. That's why it's a god damn cover and not the song done by the mamas and the papas. Cover you do it your way.

[PixiesinmyMind]

this hard breathing is annoying!

but he´s still really good

[viewthedr]

missing rhythm in some parts i think. but still good.

[Taijar]

Please let him have time to grow into a fine and handsome young man. :)

[gas9393]

good playing

[flamecryst]

what i like here in his performance is... he plays so naturally like there's no one except him... nice performance sungha...

[seraphlgabri]

I can play this arrangement, I've been playing it like 6 months, and I still can't do the bending part perfectly, and it looks like even Sungha couldn't do it perfectly either.

I'm curious, I mean I really wanna ask Mr. Chapelaine himself how he did it.

[XerxesOmicron]

@seraphlgabri u just have to practice bending a lot. it's hard, especially on acoustic like that...takes years and years of practice bending to get it like the pros do...its all finger strength and control. i think once you're able to do like a bending vibrato on an acoustic and hold it, you're good enough to nail the bends...but that shit is hard

[PowerTrios]

When this child does'nt play the piece perfectly his punishment is having ont toe cut off ... you will notice he has all ten toes

[eeveefan14]

So you actually got to talk to him? That's so cool! If I could, I'd ask him to sign my guitar :P

[TheTwerp123]

amazing!! ^^ hahaha hes has a very cute smile hehehe I smiled throught the whole video hehehe especially at the end. hes so talented eversince young!

[unitedcivil]

Love your style, always and always, I watch you grow, I'm double your age and play guitar and you are my idol on guitar.You have the feeling to play guitar that is how you make so beautifull music and it shows when you play.

[Nashcountryboy]

Sungha must learn to PERFORM on stage. He simply must draw in his audience with eye contact . He plays so brilliantly but now if he can just work on his PERFORMING....the "IT" factor as Simon Cowell calls it. This is not meant as any offense, but simply a hope to see him TOUR THE WORLD. One simply has to listen to the lackluster applause at the end to KNOW he must draw the audience in.

@Nashcountryboy

Hi, mate!

I need to fill you up with some details. Hope you don't think this is anything offensive. Cause it's not.

1) Sungha is, atleast as I watched him and as well as when I talked to him, a very shy person. But I think, that when he's playing he forgets everything else and lives in his own universe with the guitar.

2) He is 13½ years old. All though not unexperienced, that might have some influence.

3) It was not the largest audince in here. And to applauce loudly and..

[Wistbacka]

@Nashcountryboy

...wild is just not a part of the culture here when listening to fine-art music.

You should have heard the end applauces when he was done. They weren't all that quiet. If you know what I mean. ;-)

I do admit that he lacks the connection to the audience, but give him time to grow and it will come. You'll see. =)

And I don't think eye-contact is what you expect from someone perfoming this kind of fingerstyle. I'd say it's the bodylaunguage that counts.

My Regards

@Nashcountryboy Learn about other culture before spewing your american egocentric bullshit you noob.

[BandPassion]

@Nashcountryboy did you ever see a pianist playing while having an eye contact with the audience? this is the same thing, a solo acoustic concert

[mxgzn]

@Nashcountryboy I fear that if Chopin or Bach were alive today they would be dismissed for superficial stuff like "not having the factor" or "no eye contact".

[Nashcountryboy]

@mxgzn As someone who has watched EVERY video Sungha has ever made since he was a small boy and reading the interviews he has made, he has stated that he wants to tour the world and he emulates jake shimabukuro, Tommy Emmanuel, and other world-renowned PERFORMERS, I am simple stating the ovbious. To sell concert tickets as the type of PERFORMER that Sungha has stated he WANTS to be, he will need to step up his game. He does NOT want to be some stuffy classical guitar player at a recital.

[Nashcountryboy]

@mxgzn Watch Sungha play the Beatles "Day Tripper" at Tommy Emmanual's concert here on Youtube and you will see a DIFFERENT Sungha. Oh and you will see the PERFORMER that Tommmy Emmanuel IS!

[oh7ohoh]

just amazing...
