[Mamutt14]

Przyszły Tommy Emmanuel !



[TheElfProduction1]

Sungha. Shut up and listen the king: /watch?v=S33tWZqXhnk

[noamchoco]

Emotionless.

I you want to compare, do it like that, the ones who play with feelings and the ones who don't.

[SvetoslavStrezhevoy]

your time will come, go kick a ball

[snwitzles]

difficulty level: ASIAN

[ODsDalton]

I haven't heard this kid in ages. . .I almost forgot how amazingly talented he is!!! Sungha Jung, i salute you!!!

[lolsans14]

he's asian.. :D

[richardcorysghost]

Great playing, and the sound you're gettin from your guitar is wonderful

[SPLARHG]

Why are loads of words such as great or work hyperlinked to stupid ads?! ARHG

[EddyRoksta]

They must of hit him really hard... 0.o

[gigio1901]

@EddyRoksta nah, that music isn't that hard.

[insanatized]

of course he needs to play it better than the original!!!

[TheBMDProductions]

O.O wow, compares to this guy my level of playing on guitar equals 0

[PulseStars]

thumbs up if you think im gay

[Immigrant1305]

das is ecklich man :D seinefinger sind super ranzig dünn ...IGOR PRESNYAKOV! :D

[queen100queen]

@Immigrant1305

1. composition : Sungha >>> igor

2. skill : Sungha >> igor

3. arrangement : Sungha > igor

4. experience : Sungha <<< igor

5. Amateur Fingerstyle guitar : You And igor presnyakov. ^.^

6. fuck you @.@

[Immigrant1305]

@queen100queen igor plays it on his own way and but sungha not, i´m playing 1 year and i could play this just as him. you can´t compare them together!

[queen100queen]

@Immigrant1305

1. Igor is an overrated player...he is a covered player. He is a second tier player and ain't in no league of Tommy Emmanual, Andy Mckee, Sungha Jung and many others. guys have their own styles and originals....Igor covers well known songs from mainstream.

2. professional Fingerstyle Guitar : michael hedges, tommy emmanuel, Martin Taylor, Ulli Bogershausen, andy mckee, Antoine Dufour, masaaki kishibe, Sungha Jung.

Amateur Fingerstyle Guitar : You And Igor Presnyakov.

[voodoogunder]

Of course, he had to be Asian......I want to be Asian!!!! Asian powers activate!!!! Oh my I'm suddenly good at everything......Lmao!!!!

[superburnoutboy]

dude... teach me

[xIchigo3x]

I have a question, which is what you have in the fingers of the right hand to touch the strings? what s the name of it

ps:sry for my english :)

[123Silpoja]

@xIchigo3x

Those are called finger picks =)

[xIchigo3x]

@123Silpoja thank you :)

[shaundude87]

@xIchigo3x The picks are called Alaska Piks and they're pretty awesome for steel stinger fingerstyle guitar.

[xIchigo3x]

@shaundude87 thanks :)

[teachmekungfu]

@xIchigo3x fingering picks

[123silvercrest]

Why is everyone so racist.. You dont have to be aisan to be amazingly talented at something, all it takes is a hell of alot of practice.

[insanatized]

why can't i play like that...probs cuz i'm not asian!!!

[paxomatic2]

Pure awesome

[Weltuntergang100]

MOTHER OF GOD !!!!

*____________*

[EK489]

people people...all u lot talking abt feeling, speed etc and comparing him to 40+ year old players.... He is a child!! His skill is amazing...no one can tell just yet how he will mature...we just have to wait and see...so stop complaining ... listen, enjoy and if you can't do that just leave.... simple as that

[Fedro994Q]

His dad is behind a camera holding a gun. :D

[hijtohema]

@Fedro994Q With a bag of sweets is more likely. You play an awful lot better for a reward then against a death threat

[TheColdHotdog]

@Fedro994Q Whoa dude, shut up, what if the kid wanted to learn on his own? It's not like just because someone is asian, he's automatically better than you in everything because their parents MAKE him, this kid is a genius, it's a talent HE had, not that he was forced to learn

[italkcrab]

TOBUSCUS plays better... :D I mean...just for this song...

[roque511]

what are does things on his fingers called??



[Savage00712]

@roque511 Those are finger picks, slightly changes the tone and amplifies the sound of the guitar more than just finger picking,

[TheHlynurskuli]

What else but talent do you expect? just see a guitar song.. and an asian.. forced talent

[themanfromwem]

TAKE THE CAPO OFF MATE, GIVES YOU MORE FLEXABITITY, NOT BAD, HOWARD

[TnAMusic94]

way too fast. Didn't like this one. Slow it down and it will be good! You are a great player but sometimes you just play too fast.

[hijtohema]

@TnAMusic94 He plays it at about the same speed as Mason Williams in the original.

[musicksol]

SLOW DOWN AND PUT SOME SOUL INTO IT

[ZRandompro]

Not as good as the other songs you play



[wolflink06041992]

Fucking Asiatic Guy o/

[ChiefPromnitz]

Thanks for making everyone look bad!!!

[freebirdchampion]

truly fantastic!

[eogiemk3]

WOW!!!

[Immigrant1305]

igor presnyakov is 1000 times better than him, but he´s not bad ;)

[L33ROYJ3NKINS98]

@Immigrant1305 i agree but only because igor has years more experience

[vietcheesesteak]

@Immigrant1305 ...It's your 2cents....Igor is way overrated and only known for playing covers from mainstream music, ain't have styles or originals like the real pro. See any videos of his playing at shows or touring around the world? This kid is 15 and already well known by his peers, touring and playing with the bests internationally. On other hand, Igor got schooled by Don Alder at the 34th Winfield Acoustic Competition. Igor is just an amateur to Emmanuel, Oshio, Ross, Mckee, Dufour, etc...

[queen100queen]

@Immigrant1305

Sungha vs Igor

1. Guitar Tone : Sungha is better

2. sound and echo : Sungha is better

3. volume control : Sungha is better

4. composition : Sungha is better

5. arrangement : Sungha is better

6. finger picking skill (melody, bass, Bit) : Sungha i? better (Rhythm and Groove) :Sungha is better (Nail Attack) : Sungha is better.

haha.. Sungha is 1000000 times better than him.

[carloforniacation]

asians...

[photosidic2]

@carloforniacation fucking Koreans actually

[eduM97]

Dental plan... Lisa needs braces

[MinnoLovesYou]

I like Toby's version better >.>

[daroen90]

La perfección con que toca la canción y su rapidez hace que pierda "gracia" de la canción original.

[ishandev111]

demmn good...

i m speechless..

you are really great....

[PROSiME0N]

Inspired me to pick the guitar up after 5 years of it collecting dust, rock on son!

[allabouttobe]

Why are there so many racist comments....? Jealous much? This kids a very talented guy I didn't hear anything particularly out of place! Good job lad

[EMlNEM2020]

he looks like >>> -_-  <<<

LOL

[akinoelmejor]

I'm a big fan of your, but I think this song sounds better more slowly...

[Sylvscats]

I'd say TOO FAST! it doesn't mean that it sounds better. It may be harder and more impressive, but doesn't sound as good.

[surferjoe2000]

Really? Over 300 peeps didn't like this? Brilliant guitar playing, PERIOD!!!

Yes, the original might sound a little more polished since it was recorded in a studio with probably 50 + takes and over dubs. Hopefully the 300 + nay Sayers are themselves guitar virtuosos!!

[MegaStraits]

Let's give him a classical guitar please .__."

[CatForDinner]

Are his eyes closed? I can't tell

[JamesJohn94]

There's always an Asian kid who's better than you :( Great playing though, keep it up

[TannerCharlie]

Slow it down, play from the heart. Forget the technicalities.

[luisromero8zaragoza]

i just pood



[TDS4UT]

This kid's good.

[andersv114]

Y U ASIAN KID SO GOOD ?

[MrPizzapoika]

Apparently 8% of the asian population comes from Genhis Khan.

No wonder their so good at everything.

[stonersteve2012]

the only thing i can do with my eyes closed is sleep ;)

[Emi2814]

Yep. I've never accomplished anything in life.

[Antilles107]

Sungha Jung strikes me as a great musician who is - not yet - a *performer*. He's playing the song to do something beautiful without too much thought of an audience. It's on multiple viewings of the clip, for me, that his passion increasingly shines through. As for the tempo, I sympathize with some who may simply be accustomed to hearing the song slower, and it's absolutely true that faster is not *always* better, but I think this interpretation is wonderful. Just my humble opinion.

[unburdenunbound]

@Antilles107 totally agreed. he doesn't need to imitate the song. it's his rendition. if he happens to be able to shred it up, more power to him. this kid is impressive.

[smackthat421]

Lakewood.

[Zufod]

bääääh slower!

[TectorThe]

respect

[DNSMW5711]

to fast 

[DearDextra]

Junior Eric is here ppl .

[greghmn]

@DearDextra Not by Eric Clapton. It's by Mason Williams.

[ShredKnockLife]

Yeah.......well.............my­ dicks bigger!

[bulwarkjm2]

it's really tragic that I can only 'like' this once.

[shooter1911colt]

Nice playing dude you have nice flow.

[BeAGeekAtEverything]

hmmm... Brilliant player, but I think he plays it too fast and misses some of the MUSIC in the music... Watch Mason Williams play it, or Toby Turner even, YEAH I like his version better... Not because he's better at guitar, just his interpretation of the song is more musical though Sungha's is more impressive... Skill wise.

[Lycanthrope1987]

what is the name of the fingerheads like plektrum?

[gobodito]

why do you play that fast? and the original song is without capo

[Roddykay]

how come he using a capo?

[theverybigshow]

It misses the spirit and the soul of the original version. Quite impressive playing, though.

[1981DMC]

@theverybigshow Very well put.

[DarkLionInteractive]

that's it.... I'm learning to play this tomorrow!

[DNA1056]

Lakewood guitars...overpriced?

[1305102t]

@DNA1056 sungha was sponsored so he didnt have to pay for his lakewood guitars

[jlunniss]

Just doesn't have the feeling of the original. Faster doesn't (always) equal better!

[SuperScarrow]

@jlunniss Couldn't agree with you more!

[maliGD1702]

@jlunniss the slow version was just too easy for him.

[rockabdechafi4ever]

@jlunniss Men shut up , if u saw tommy emannuel play it more faster than this and it has the same feeling ,this is not so that fast its really good

[Specnaz2005]

@jlunniss But there's also interpretation. Take for example Toccata and Fugue in D minor. There are many variants of it. But of course, you don't have to like a particular interpretation. I'm sure he's not trying to impress anyone by playing faster.

[quesadillafication]

@jlunniss Agreed. And kick the unneeded capo. Granted he's real good (better than me), but with that skill he could at least play it like He's supposed too.

[nikosyv]

@jlunniss agreed!!

[JimitriG]

@jlunniss True but it sounds alright at this speed to me. And how old is this kid anyway? He's pretty bloody good.

[TheHackerYouKnow]

This kid is going to get SO much pussy

[SquirrelINSANITY]

You are quite the musician.... hope you live a long and happy life.... I will now go to my corner of the room and sob....

[BrewersPackers]

364 people are musically deaf and missed out on an absolute audio orgasm.

[therealsporadicaarmy]

100% correct, but kid in siberia got 140%, YOU DO BETTER!!

high expectations asian father

[freshrocknrollman]

HONESTLY. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DISLIKE THIS PIECE OF ART???? I SAY FUCK YOU ALL DISLIKERS!!!

[MillDisney]

In all honesty, it sounds amazing. Really good technique. But there is NO EMOTION. None. And isn't that what the music is about?

[Velvet4U]

@MillDisney No, he did have emotion for this song. They didn't show it , but after the song ended and the video stopped recording , Sungha broke down and cried for the next 3 hours.  They had to tell him, "It's ok Sungha, why don't you take a break now, and go outside and get some fresh air "

[MillDisney]

@Velvet4U Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for telling me.

[METALHEADCERBERUS]

very good, just slow it down mang

[DiashyGuy]

Play Tobuscus theme!!!!

[videoguru447]

Is it possible to give a "cyber standing ovation"?

[learnguitarjam]

Really Good, maybe a bit slower next time, a more relaxed tempo would allow listeners to enjoy the song besides marveling at your talent

[Muscleduck]

Not enough emotion in the playing imo.

[fiskpool]

@Muscleduck thats crap man and you know it, we cant make up things just to make us feel better bout not being able to play like he does.

[Muscleduck]

@fiskpool What?

1) it's my opinion

2) I'm right and I know it. I'm not saying he's a bad player, but I thing the performance lacks emotion. The +4 on that comment suggests at least 4 people agree with me.

The fact that I can or cannot (I can't) play guitar like this kid has NOTHING to do with my opinion. I enjoy listening to music a lot, and I just don't hear enough emotion here.

[TeamK3T]

@RHT769 cool

[RHT769]

I have that same capo!

[Lonewolf3zx]

Great job but slow it down a little maybe? :)

[traceylynnball]

breathtaking! nice job :)

[marmite344]

technically brilliant... but no feeling whatsoever behind that

[jeagerpoelse]

@marmite344 hes asian. did you expect feeling?

[michaelchin77381]

@jeagerpoelse I can tell you are not an ignorant racist.

[Xaxioncara]

Too fast Sunga Jung! Play the song slower so I can enjoy it longer. :)

[radierpflummi]

omg he's sooo cute >.<

[MrToshi190]

@radierpflummi *facepalm*

[firre139]

My Grand father used to say: "if you are good at something, there will always be an asian guy that's better on it"

[ragnaroksama]

my life would be complete if i could play that o.O

[Tietmonster]

je doet veel te cool jonge mongool

[andypandi20]

my grandpa plays the same song... Its a beautiful melody

[GuitarInuendo]

This kid has talent. But he is far too mechanical. There is no soul to this performance. This is just the product of practice, practice, practice....I hear no feeling....and I see it as well. Say what you will....the original is MUCH better.

[0MetalllicA]

@GuitarInuendo finally someone who understands it. Thank you :)

[S2totalwarfan]

@GuitarInuendo his more recent videos do show a lot of passion

i think at some point a person is just happy to see that all the hard work paid off :)

[ragnaroksama]

@GuitarInuendo i cant judge guitar playing, i know u gotta combine technique, feeling and style but i think this is kinda of a hard song for him dont u think? :o but i totally get what u mean i think he just wanted 2 come out super good for the recording, i can play songs on bass but rarely i get them 100% correct, most of the time i miss a couple times its just like not pleasent heh

[thepowarowrow]

@GuitarInuendo

Implying 'SOUL' is something defined by overactivity of the self. The soul behind this piece is for him to decide. If you couldn't see it, maybe you're blind or maybe he's not good at showing it. But he's clearly dedicated his time to learning how to play the instrument at a high level and he clearly enjoys playing. That's his passion, that's the soul.

[MrGeckoMan101]

Wow!  :)

[eduM97]

Homer thinking: Dental plan!

[Serrinoth]

He's so good that he is even playing it to fast... o.o

[6angel0doto]

wow

O.O

[LemmingGuide]

I can't shut my mouth while watching this KID playing such a song!

[Voqelpest]

Thumbs up for Simpsons! :D

[iyuztrezz]

zzzzzzttttttt

[Spongolese]

he needs to do a version of cross roads!

[Music4YouBitch]

If I heard myself play that, i would have sex with myself every day!

[JMHJose]

this is really good, but i can't get over the original. sounds better for some reason . . .

[Jungleland932]

nip - tastic

[mySONamanda]

My sis could do this when she was 14

[wowlturkey]

bought me an ibanez AF75 mind you, beautiful instrument

[wowlturkey]

Awesome work bro. My ol man bought me my first guitar for my 21st (3 yrs ago). I haven't really gotten into it until a buddy of mine challenged my to learn classical gas.  Shit, if only I had done this sooner! love it!

[fuckCDC562]

this kids only 15 yrs old

[fuckCDC562]

i just looked at this kids website...he's only 15

[ODexiko]

So talanted kid amazing! ... i wish you all the best and much upcoming creative works, that am sure wee are all loking up foward to. Peace!

[derpwadder]

a little fast,but amazing!!

[RaintreeLDS]

Looks at guitar smiling.

[RaintreeLDS]

Amazing soul enough to perform this amazing instrumentation!! That's for sure.

[gummyform]

ok, im going to sound like an idiot probably, im new to guitar, whats those things wrapped around your fingers? (don't reply with insults, im new with guitars and im not sure if its something special for guitars)

[JokerJohnJoker]

@gummyform Those are just guitar picks. Normally, you have to hold the guitar picks, but there are some picks (the ones you see in the video) that you can wrap around your fingers and just play. Good luck with guitar bro :) I've been playing for 2 years and you can see some covers I made in my profile. Feel free to subscribe if you like them. You can request some songs too ;D

[gummyform]

@JokerJohnJoker Thanks 

[richardcorysghost]

Great playing, but forgive if i'm mistaken, but he appears to have missed out a section of the original, towards the end, after the big dramatic run up the neck-- there's a piece which is quiet and reflective before it goes into another big loud part - ok I could be wrong. Good version all the same, despite any ideas of not sufficient "soul"in the playing

[hybrideSs]

Putain l'enculer !!

[412Sammy]

Mason Williams vs Sungha Jung!

[RaintreeLDS]

@412Sammy With it!! Ya!

[JokingSandwich]

How I envy japanese people...
