Sungha Jung "The Guitar Gods"


"My daily practice routine lasts for one to two hours when school is open, but I play up to three hours a day during the school breaks.
It usually takes me two to three days to practice and videotape a new piece but sometimes up to a week for more difficult ones."
 - Sungha Jung

I love the way he loves guitar most..
 Let's talk something about Sungha.

Sungha Jung was born on September 2, 1996. He is not a Chinese. He is a South Korean. It was from his dad, an accomplished guitarist, that his dream of becoming a professional acoustic figerstyle guitarist came from. He turned 12 last September 2008. His musical inspiration is Ulli Bögershausen.
At first he started playing songs by just listening to them. Be it from the internet or the radio, his keen hearing can natural skill allowed him to to duplicate the song on a guitar. Once he has completed a song, his father would take a video and they would post it together in Youtube. Pretty soon his playing style became recognized as something of a wonder. His age alone defines him as a prodigy. It's amazing how his little fingers breeze and float creating music that even professional guitarist have hard time doing (and them with long a=fingers and years of practice). Then known authors gave to him for free tablatures of their own arrangements. Sungah learned all of them further skyrocketing his fame around the internet.
