I found this video of this kid, (a Korean kid named Sungha Jung) playing acoustic guitar.
I know, we see video’s of kidz playing weird and wonderful things all the time but every once in a while there is one that sticks out. This kid is definitely a stand out!
I love how mature and developed his playing skills are here. He just has that touch! The sound quality is fabulous but the video is choppy. At first I thought it didn’t add up? You know … Milli Vanilli. Then after viewing the video a few times I realized this kid was the real McCoy!
Hats off to the little guy and hopefully we can all observe this progression into a fabulous guitar player!
Keep on Jammin’
Amazing video. That kid will surely be something someday…perhaps even before we think!
You’ve got my vote on that one Dara!
He really gets a nice sound out of that guitar. I wonder why he – or his teacher – chose to use a thumbpick.
I wonder what pick ups that this kids uses Ricky? There are tons of new ones on the market today and it’s hard to find just the right one out there that would be perfect for you.
I wondered about his thumb pick as well. I still find it difficult to use one but if I tried enough times I might use it. It’s no use when you try to pull off any string slapping like a bass player uses. Have you tried it out yourself Ricky?
Keep on Jammin’ Ricky
