The Wonder Fingers
You may not know, but this kid – Sungha Jung is a genius with his little fingers playing wonders! Amazingly, he’s only only 12. I presume he started playing guitar sometime in 2005… when he’s known in YouTube, he was just 11. This was in 2007, when I coincidently stumbled across his YouTube page and was totally blown away by his skills and precise clarity in playing. He plays fingerstyle guitar, a style/ technique of guitar playing which to me (a noob in guitar) is the highest of all that you can learn, rather than just plain strumming and picking single notes at a time. He plays the ‘finger picking’ style… by alone he is able to play out an entire song in acoustic.
Me, being the rather emotional kind, felt so touched and amazed till my eyes were watery when I see him play. I can’t believe this kid! I am sure there’s plenty amazing kids around with great talents, plus with some styles of his own. But so far, this is one only that I discovered and known of to have such amazing skills and talent. I do respect the veterans in guitar playing and admire this guitarist – Kotaro Oshio, which to me is my favorite. He plays Kotaro’s songs well enough for me to believe it’s Kotaro himself playing! This kid deserves great respect, not just from me the little YouTube audience but too many pro- and amateur guitarists. Hey… he even composed a song! How good is that! Watch it here.
This is a wonder kid… he’ll definitely go far with his loved instrument and his precious little fingers. *Salute*
One of my favorite song from Kotaro… note his little fingers playing wonders.
