Topic: Sungha Jung

I've become a big fan of this kid.  He's a fingerstyle guitarist from Korea who plays some really intricate covers of popular songs.  If the videos on his YouTube channel are any indication, it looks like he's been playing since he could hold a guitar.  Here are a couple worth listening to:

Creep (Radiohead):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htTPcxckjf0

Jeff (Topdown):  We know you like to play that one, so we expect you to be able to play it just like this on the next Skype jam.  smile


Change the World (Clapton) - duet with some guy I'm not familiar with but he's pretty awesome also:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

I've been watchin' this kid for years as well - he's even played with Tommy E - great talent, but I'll have to stick with the easy strumming version. He plays half the tune above the 5th fret and I don't know how my guitar works that high up the neck. smile

Re: Sungha Jung

I'm always impressed with his technical proficiency. 

Like Topdown's, my guitars don't seem to work above the seventh fret either.
