Its not that because they are Asian that makes them good... its there lifestyle... There dedication to whatever they put there mind to, to make it an accomplishment, no just a hobby. To this kid guitar is his life no doubt, its what he knows, what he loves! No one can get good at anything less they show a true interest and absolutely love the music. My hats off to you sir, keep us happy with your love for the guitar.
I read the description in Chinese. This kid is 14 years old, a student of a music- affiliated high school. He is playing a guitar with model name of "Chen Zhi". Chen Zhi, of course, is the teacher of nearly all the famous Chinese girl players, including Li Jie, seen here on YouTube. The piece played here is a transcription of Bach's Sonata No. 6 in E for solo violin. Obviously, this kid is blind.
@hoaddy Thanks for the info. I waited for his eyes to blink or open. He did neither. Anyway, quite a task in memorizing such a lengthy Prelude. After the Prelude, there is much more to the piece. I was inspired by his playing, so I took out the violin and played the whole thing. Thanks for the upload and other uploads shown on your channel.
To what567: Do you play this work? Can you post it on youtube to hear what your phrasing would be and where you breathe during you performance? That should be interesting.
Looks like Mr. Williams will have to practice his chops and be careful with the new kids on the block...All this kid needs is a Smallman guitar and he's set up for success!
wow what a great player. this is better then 99% of all players around will ever get, (including me obviously). not only technically: his fingers move like he at least played for 40 years, but also it is very very beautiful!
What a brilliant performance and by someone sooo young! I just replaced John Williams performance of this piece in my favorites with this young man's performance. Thank you hoaddy! Hope to see more from you soon.
For people who don't read chinese, he is Mr.Yang, 14 years old student from Middle School Affiliated to Tianjin Conservatory of Music. It is written in Chinese in the beginning.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this guy is still growing and when his hands get bigger he will be hitting the wrong notes!!! it happened me and i was better than him at his age!!! i am no good now!!!hands got too big!!!
vinnothelizard stop be jealous he plays along when he grows and all be change also so he never will play any wrong notes so nice try but epicfail for u
Minor technical issues will get better when he gets older. Combine his phrasing for this piece and his increased future technical skills and this will be AMAZING someday!!!!
Pero, ¿de donde ha salido este genio? ¿cuál es su nombre? Me gustaría saber algo más de él, para poder seguir su evolución. Este chaval promete de verdad. ¿Does anybody know him? I'd like to know his name.
I'm used to seeing a lot of young prodigies here on youtube with lots of notes but little feeling. This young fellow has real musicality happening here.
This young Chinese boy has an astonishing understanding of the piece. This points to the universal impact of Bach's music. Probably the best performance I have heard.
i wouldn't say the best, but your right he has such a deep understanding,. do you think he has any idea about any of the theory behind the music which would explain how well he plays it? OR is he just following hes own feelings and emotions about the piece, OR is it because that THAT is the way it was taught to him,. either way it shows he has a lot of
discipline,. and he is truly gifted because it takes a lot to truly master a piece and judging by the way this kid plays,. its like hes on a whole-nother level of maturity and understanding. :D
As for some of the comments below. Resorting to crude racial stereotypes is just daft. Also, its not "always the asians" Its simply that a small percentage of kids will have an aptitude for music etc and there are more asians, therefore.....
@Isaac2c I partially agree with George Kollias when he says : I don't believe in talent, I believe in devotion. Or something like that. I think Asians just work super hard to get to a level like this.
@goethethegreat thats right it is silly. learn to take a joke! that comment is coming from someone (me) who has played guitar 10 years, and has practiced this piece for 2 years and still comes nowhere near the virtuosity in this video....
@Isaac2c Their parents make them practice/study 1-8 hours every day since they were 3-5yrs old. Natural talent has nothing to with it, and claiming such is disregarding their hard work.
This piece is very hard, just finished 998 prelude and trying to play this one, much harder in all aspects. to be able to play like this is really a gift. Thx for the video very joyful
Great job. This was one of the few pieces that Bach wrote dynamics in. I think that if you implemented the forte, piano contrasts that he intended this piece will sound even better (and you are already doing a great job with it). Then once you have that dynamic idea in your ear its easy to hear the other places where dynamic shape can make the piece transcendental and this piece is definitely transcendental.
i play since i am 6 and have only seen (i have seen much) a very few children like this. The tone is wonderfull. How can a child have this mature tone, most guitarists needs years for a tone like this (many thinks this must be a good guitar) no :-) this is the player. Many players can even not hear the effort and the difference between a average tone and this tone or reach it. Its so fantastic and the interpretation is very good for that age, bach should be played like this.
dont get me wrong but you failed then. i have been playing 3 years now and i am learning it now. i will be able to play it in at least one year, i am sure of that.
true that. Chill out man, when you were his age you were probably more concerned about barney than how to play guitar. not only is this song very tough, he also has the drive at such a young age to play it. That's incredible if you ask me
What amazes me is that this boy has such MATURITY in his interpretation...Where did that come from?Technique can be learnt, given the right teacher and alot of practice, but where does the depth of his interpretaion come from? Wow.
It saddens me to see all the comments about race and religion instead of music. Music belongs to everyone and no one at the same time. It was a lovely performance. Thanks for posting.
It's a pity that you, as an american, doesn't like your country. I didn't say "everything is perfect", and in fact, "nothing is perfect". I am a Chinese and I'm so proud to be a Chinese. I love my country.
The point is that, being an educated and civilized musician, I'll never use these dirty words. It applys to differnt race. Not because you're american and you can call people jackass. And I don't think you feel respect when people call you "assgoblin" while you're playing your guitar.
Respect yourself and your country by respect others.
One day soon race, country, geographical divisions, etc. will not exist. A righteous government by Jesus Christ ( which he taught his followers to pray for )will crush and put and end to ALL human govenments and provide the conditions we long for.
he played very well... i play this piece often myself (you can view my videos) and i like his interpretation; it's very close to that of JW, but has more color.
an amazing performance,,,this is truly enjoyable Bach at a pace that is just right.... your potential is so great and we look forward to your playing future with a better guitar
If China is teaching kids music at this level with that much efficiency, they're not quite as backwards as the western corporate media would like us to believe, are they?
Dear Mr. Yang Xinshuo, contratulations! Read the comments; everyone loves your playing and, from what I´ve seen, there are many guitarrists commenting. Mr. HIGHINTENTEL is one of the most generous commentators.
J. Williams´ version is also here, but seriously is it that much or really better. Williams has all the sound, the video, the great guitar to make a clip, but this young man can certainly stand next to him regarding this piece.
I personally don't like J. Williams timing and feel on this piece. This kid is in tune with something Williams could never have [in my openion]. You have to grow into it, no ammount of practice can achieve what this kid feels. But thats just my openion of course. Who am I to say, really. Just what my ears and heart feel. This kid is the best I have herd so far. Best meaning for me. I don't like to compare though, thats for Yngwie and BB king fans to do to each other...lol
This kid is quite good but is simply far from the greatness that John Williams has achieved. He rattles a lot and misses notes here and there. The version by John Williams is still by far the most flawless of all.
This is some of the best Bach I´ve heard on the guitar; straightforward and clear phrasing, beautiful tone, good dynamics, etc. Wow! I hate have to describe music only in superlatives (or in some cases pejoratives), but you certainly deserve the superlatives. A pity that the West will hardly ever know...but alas, such is life...our best efforts doomed for oblivion.
Если бы я был учителем этого мальчика, я бы не спешил давать ему произведения ТАКОЙ сложности. Ему сейчас следовало бы больше играть гитарную классику: Каркасси, Леньяни, Джулиани, Сор и т.д.В противном случае что он будет играть в 20-30 лет;))
Unbelievable. I've been playing this piece for 36 years. And well, too. But this boy blows away the pros. This is the hardest piece to play on classical guitar - or one of them. And he plays it smoothly, with superb tone and articulation. Total authority. It's mind blowing.
bravo bravo bravo!!!! The best live performance of this piece in youtube!!!

This kid is the best I have herd so far. Best meaning for me. I don't like to compare though, thats for Yngwie and BB king fans to do to each other...lol

This kid is quite good but is simply far from the greatness that John Williams has achieved. He rattles a lot and misses notes here and there. The version by John Williams is still by far the most flawless of all.

This is some of the best Bach I´ve heard on the guitar; straightforward and clear phrasing, beautiful tone, good dynamics, etc. Wow! I hate have to describe music only in superlatives (or in some cases pejoratives), but you certainly deserve the superlatives. A pity that the West will hardly ever know...but alas, such is life...our best efforts doomed for oblivion.

This kid has some nice interpretation of Bach. He will be a successful guitarist.

Если бы я был учителем этого мальчика, я бы не спешил давать ему произведения ТАКОЙ сложности. Ему сейчас следовало бы больше играть гитарную классику: Каркасси, Леньяни, Джулиани, Сор и т.д.В противном случае что он будет играть в 20-30 лет;))

Unbelievable. I've been playing this piece for 36 years. And well, too. But this boy blows away the pros. This is the hardest piece to play on classical guitar - or one of them. And he plays it smoothly, with superb tone and articulation. Total authority. It's mind blowing.

This would be pretty good if he played with dynamics.
