Sungha Jung, no larger than his guitar

Sungha Jung I stumbled upon this kid a few minutes ago! Man, is this guy great or what?!!??! What are they feeding these kids?! He owned me for good!

“Hi, I’m Sungha Jung from South Korea. My dream is to become a professional acoustic fingerstyle guitarist.

I had been watching my dad play the guitar for awhile before I finally jumped on it myself two years ago. I just turned eleven in September, 2007.

Currently, I am taking weekly classical guitar lessons and teaching myself fingerstyle guitar.

I used to not have tabs for the music that I played in my videos. I just listen and pick them up directly from the sound source in videos available on the internet. However, recently, I have started playing with original tabs whenever they are available to me by courtesy of the authors.”

Well?!!

Gitarrengenie - Sungha Jung…

Wenn gestandene Männer ihr seit Jahren liebgewordenes Instrument in die Tonne treten und nie wieder einen Ton spielen wollen, dann könnte ein Kind daran schuld sein. Ein Kind welches sie in allen Belangen in Grund und Boden spielt.

OK, Talent ist…

He might be older (or younger for that matter), but he’s brilliant. Talent does not get measured by one’s age.

I am sorry, Blake, I don’t have any of his guitar tabs, but you could send him a message through the use of his MySpace page.

Cut the crap about the tab.

Look at how he has all spots controlled correctly
and the sound is brilliant, he’s d**n 11 years!
Each melody has its feeling.

This is what God sent him for.

2 things here with me, 1 is im not sure about this kid but cant explain why and 2, oh boy i wish i could play like that.

I think we all agree he got a career in music even if he just a session musician.

Love everything he plays. The Koreans seem to have a lot of prodigies on Youtube. For another mindblower, check out this Korean Funky Girl:
