Here's some vids for you to get a few clues on guitar playing.
I will expect you to be up to this standard by this time next year,.. so hop to it!
He's only 15 so you should easily be able to catch up.

All these are by Sungha Jung over the last five years or so.
And no, there is no background muzac or beat box. He's doing it all himself.

I think it's just magic!


Jason Mraz- I'm Yours


Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit


Pacobels Canon in D


and again, with Trace Bundy


Wham- Last Christmas


Metalica- Nothing else matters -Sungha Jung


Oh, and one for Xmas and New year.


And a happy new year from Pweeda.

He's better than both of those put together. Watch his fingers. He doesn't just bang away on chords with a few notes thrown in with a pinky or two. All the left hand fingers dance all over the fretboard and he bangs out a rythm on the keys and deck at the same time.
If I had fifty fingers and a pick on my pecker I couldn't do half of that.

Have a look at some of the others on U choob. (User jwcfree). About 450 vids.


U2- One

I got an air guitar too, but it sucks, it's out of tune and I didn't even get free lesson with it either.

Great work by the young fellow. Inspirational stuff.

What a talented kid! Thanks pweedas.

He seems to be channelling these two. ...

More likely he's "channeling" Tommy Emmanuel who set the standard for melodic finger style steel string acoustic guitar.

It's interesting that this kid and Joe Robinson (Australia's Got Talent winner) are quite similar in style and technique. Joe Robinson is in the US and hanging with LA studio musician and various guitar heroes. He's giving them a bit of fright.

The actual things these kids do with their fingers is not that hard. The scary thing is what they're playing. How do they know what to play? Where do the arrangements come from? Who's teaching them?

blame aliens for this talent. or maybe its the boat people who taught him... no no no no no,it global warming allowing him to sweat more in the finger area ,which allows him women craving techniques which i wish i had...bloody grommys

i got an altimeter but guitar was a close 2nd.

And the master himself........enjoy
