He was 10 years old and because of school could only practice 2 hrs a day. when he played this with TE. Its been fun for all of us to watch this kid growing up and see how his skills with the guitar are now matching his talent. I've been at this ridiculous hobby for 40 years off and on and he was probably better than me the first day he picked up a guitar.
W.T.h!!! I'm like... What!!! jeez, i don't believe this little fellow. I don't know, he keeps blowing me to bits each time i check his stuff out. WOWOO!! Thanks for the vid 2.
@RixOkUSKEnSfM Not true, i can't hear it but through thousands of times of playing it from a tab, i know it by heart and can play it properly. And you can just google tommy emmanuel tabs or something and there they are.
@RixOkUSKEnSfM True enough, but those of us who don't have any ear for music can learn a lot from them, and learn to play them like we actually had any talent. It's like the legend himself said in his tutorial videos, all you need is repetition. No talent + years of practice and repetition = good player.
Not completely true...i have the sheeth of tabs right in front f me now, you can tab every little pause or passing note.
But to perform it like him is a diffrent story... every time he plays this song again it sounds diffrent, its always a unique performance with every time that special Emanuel twist to it.
I hope one day ill become a no-life so i can come close to this guys like him.
Agreed, I've been in the music industry for 20 years and Tommy Emmanuel is one of the finest acoustic guitarists that has ever been. And almost as good on the electric as a matter of fact. He falls comfortably into the category of master.
i didn't know they met...i've been watching them both for awhile now. Sungha has become quite the fingerstylist...what an awesome opportunity. I have met Tommy but not the chance to play with the master! good for sungha
well ya i suppose you're right if you look at it that way lol. He does have an unbelivable amount of views.
I think all these awesome guitarists desever 20mill views on each of their vids lol
but i agree with you he is only more popular because he has been featured and talked about more. Tommy and Andy also have very different styles. I like them both. Tommy is just so cool tho lol

Sungha seemed a little nervous, kinda dwarfed by the years of confidence in Tommy. he did well though and in distinguished company. i bet Sungha was a happy guy after that gig.
please people keep in mind, its one thing to play someone elses song, but another to actually compose it and play it originally. lets wish Sungha all the best for his brilliant future works.... :o)
Sungha does compose his own pieces, you just have to go to his page to see them, JWCFREE, I think they are really good considering he turned twelve last September.
hi andy... yeah i agree Sungha is sensational for his age. where Tommy had an older brother Phil, who is pretty dam excellent too, that he could play against, it seems Sungha doesnt have a sibling to play with.
it comes down to feel. Sungha is tight and hasnt relaxed into leting the sound flow. i just hope he maybe reads this and considers Tommys' way he plays endless road. the feel and emotion. stiff notes maybe perfect playing but the feel is everything. Sungha is close.
this video was posted about 3 years ago when he was 9. he might have been a little intimidated by the crowd. sungha puts on a flawless performance now.
wow what a present to the world Sungha is! too much Emmanuel loves it hes probably remembering when he played smoke on the water back in the day! If Sungha was my kid I'd be trying taking lessons from him hehe.
HOLY SHIT!!!!! i never ever ever thought i'd see tommy emmanuel be amazed, but im pretty sure he's even picking up his jaw from amazement at this kid. INCREDIBLE
It was only a matter of time, really. First time I saw Sungha on YouTube I was like "Holy crap. Wait until Tommy Emmanuel sees this kid!". And now, he reacts just the way I thought he would - Amazed! LoL.
How often does that happen?!? Sungha is a great kid. Really Great. :-)
what amazes me is this kid has such a mature ear for music - not just what he plays but the way he plays. Usually that comes with years of experience.
Wow dude, this kid was living the kind of moment that some guitarists could only dream about---Playing with Tommy Emmanuel, one of the greatest guitar players the world has.
Sungha, you are one blessed and gifted kid, and maybe one day you'll been pickin' out melodic tunes as good as T.E.
it's great to see a legend and a "to be legend" together. Sungha, I suggest that you watch some of tommy's videos. I thinkk you'll get some techniques in his guitar playing and I would love to see you playing his songs. Keep up the goodwork!
Tommy emmanuel is such a legend, and have a great personality, full of heart. and a guy who loves and respect different culture, wonderful guy. And this kid here, check his profile and all the songs he have been playing already,i can't wait to see this kid 10 yrs later. Definately weill be a world known guitarist and one who leads!!!
wtf? what's wrong with you, why would TE even try to show up a little kid, he was just letting Sungha play and playing second fiddle to him because he (unlike you it seems) doesnt need to show up little kids, ur a moron!
agent0: I don't know TE personally, but I have seen videos of him sharing the stage with other teen musicians. A boy about 14 years old, from the Netherlands, who is a remarkable guitarist and who has a lot of singing ability too, was invited onstage by TE. On another occasion, a British kid who plays an excellent guitar, and owns several high-quality guitars, spent some time with TE backstage.
TE likes, helps, and encourages kids who show promise, I'll bet.
amazing.
