Lakewood Guitars, in Germany, crafted the instrument specifically for Sungha. The top is Grade 4A European Spruce; the back and sides are Macassar Ebony. The signature is Sungha's; it was lifted from his first cover of his first CD, enlarged, and then inset into his fretboard.
The entire guitar was handcrafted. It is worth thousands.
@foxygranpa6 I love reading your comments! How do you find out all this stuff though? You're like an inside source, so I have to ask, do you know if sungha's new classical is also a lakewood?
Thank you for your kind words. However, I really don't have any "inside" information. Everything that I find out about Sungha is publicly available either at 'jwcfree' or at other websites. Information can sometimes be gleaned at other sites by 'Googling' the name 'Sungha Jung'.
I enjoy reading, and I've loved guitar music since I was a boy. I was searching for Chet Atkins videos when I stumbled across Sungha.
Sungha's new classic is a Khaya, a division of Lakewood.
where u get your motivation dude i love that u want to grow i dont know if u follow american sports but u remind me of a tom brady of guitar always seeing your performances just keep getting better keep on trucking u got a follower in me dude
All 25 that disliked, are just plain retarded. This is beautifull and undefeated music.
One of the BEST guitarists on whole youtube. If you don't like it, get your brain checked. If it's not your favorite genre because you're a techno-whore, atleast give it a try and some thought. This is true music that gets my respect and honor.
Good job Sungha, keep on playing! Perhaps I'll find you some day =)
acoustic is bronze strings, unless u have a guitar made for fingerpicking. then its steel string. and he is obviously fingerpicking, so his is a steel string
@Hawkeye470 Really? Glad someone has cleared that up for me after playing for 13 years. I just thought they had different clarity of tone and emphasized different ends of the audio spectrum, but what do I know. Bottom line is different types of strings produce different sounds and you go with what produces the sound you like, be it flamenco strings and finger picking or flat picking on nylon.
@captingin6 nylon string is a classical guitar while e one he's playin is acoustic guitar which is steel string if i'm not wrong...pls correct me if i'm wrong
watch my channel to check out some original work as a tribute to chet atkins and tommy emmanuel it would do me great honour if i got at least a 100 views :)
@puristthunder A person who practises for at least 3 hrs a day is being called a cheat, I can only say that this is prejudice against the asians. Then again i guess asians are smart and hardworking enough to be called "cheater" in this way. U might as well say that asians are good in CG. He's not playing the guitar, it's all graphic, cheat yourself then and dun bother to admit that he's good.
@momosamshik I practice at least three hours a day, I'm a shiftless lazy hippy, and I am no where near as good as him. The statement you responded to was a compliment. He has practiced half of his life to be better than most of us can hope to be, don't try to take that away with your trifling 3 hours a day comment. He was using a metaphor.
I think this guys amazing, but I think he needs to change up his style. He will never be truly amazing until he can play all styles of music like this. Like I said, he is still amazing.
@sharingsuperstar really? I thought he started playing at like 4 or 5, then his first video on youtube was at his age of 9.. I might wrong, but that's what I heard.
@dehualiang you should check out his official site someday (especially the FAQ section). it's the most reliable source of info and it also has some videos that he never uploaded on youtube.
@dehualiang no. sungha has PLAYED FOR 4-5 yrs, starting from when he was 8-9 years old (in Korean age he started at 10 yrs old, which is around 8 or 9 in International age)
Wow. U guys really have quick eyes to spot the fly. I have been looking out for the fly throughout the song. I won't have notice it if I don't pause at 2:09. lol
@24morningstar "the way he feels his music" you strike me as an idiot. I hate all of the "feeling" people say is in music. Music transmits emotion, but you don't have to have a distorted face to be enjoying yourself. You are one of the idiots who thinks that if he isn't twisting his face in a knot he is playing like a robot. I'm guessing you aren't a musician.
i love his stuff but i would love to see an experimental video if he used an electric. don't get me wrong about it i just think it would be cool to see sungha solo on an electric maybe
WOW!!! I know Ulli is proud of you... This video has got to be one of your finest and I've watched them all!!!! I just keep hitting "REPLAY" over and over and over...
@MrAitAliProductions haha i wonder'd that a while back as well, but those are finger picks known as alaska piks, apparently its for different sound quality or its better or more comfortable to use if you get used to them
@LeRichard92 I read somewhere that he had problems growing strong fingernails when he was younger so he went with aLaska piks. I don't know if he still has that problem and just using the piks now because they sponsor him or he got used to it. I'm not a musician but musicians seem to think there is a difference in the sound.
A recent video---I'm not sure who posted it, but it wasn't jwcfree---shows a closeup of Sungha's fingertips. His fingernails are worn short and he has developed a thick callus on each of his fingertips. He must be playing a lot off-camera without his aLaskapiks. I remember a Korean talk show host who several years ago examined his fingers and compared them to the callus developed by Korean martial artists. In Sungha's case, it is of course confined to his fingertips.
@foxygranpa6 Thank you. Somehow I knew I'd hear from you on this. :) You always post insightful & knowledgeable comments on Sungha. Btw, I saw several videos posted by neoko999 that looks to be in a recording studio and wondered whether Sungha's recording a 2nd CD. I asked neoko999 but there seem to be a language barrier. (I'm pretty sure I read a comment from you on the Bolero "tutorial".)
