Slowrock and the Energy of Sungha Jung

I have no doubts that... one day this kid will be amongst the legends in the world of Guitar. Constant practice is his secret and of course supportive parents. Not to mention that famous guitarist are supporting him. Do you know that one guitar company sponsors his daily guitar needs? Luck kid... that he is.

"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

Mission Impossible was one of those simple movies around that had a simple plt and outrageous stunts. :-) The sountrack of this film series has become popular in asense that it is automatically associated with extreme action. Sungha has played Paolo Sereno's arrangement of the song here to perfection. I've provided a resource here for more of Paolo Sereno's arrangements.

This made me buy my first acoustic guitar. After I heard there new version in the Hell Freezes Over album... I had no choice but to learn it. I did learn it... just don't make me sing it. Sungha played the arrangement of Tomi Paldanius which was derived from the tablature in this book. Yep that one on the right side. The complete How-To tablature is in this book.

Songs like this never seem to fade. They seem to have a life of their own and Sungha Jung definitely gives it life and emotion.

I remember hearing this piece sang by one of the American Idol contestant. He made sound so good because of his voice. But for Sungha, no singing is needed. He makes the guitar do all the singing. TRy recreating this song with the sheet/tablature resource provided here.

The song reached the top of the charts in the U.S., while becoming a Top 10 hit in the UK...More on Wiki


Another great classic from the Beatles. During parties... when we are required to sing a song I always choose this in the karaoke machine. You don't need a good voice to sing it. Hell you only need to shout the lyrics. Hahahaha. Sungha captured all these in his guitar and made it into something worth hearing especially from the hands of someone so young. I've provided a tablature resource here where you can learn the this song. It's just a click away.

Stevie Wonder is blind. If he hears Sungha Jung play the guitar he'll Wonder who the professional guitarist playing his song. What a Wonder perhaps to see when he knows that a ten year old is playing it on a guitar. Here's your chance to learn this masterpeice. Just a click away via Amazon.

    Wow, amazing job on Hotel California! I have a guitar but I've never got around to learning. He is good! That's one of my favorites and he's done well.. and he managed to make Come Together sound huge for just an acoustic guitar. This kid rocks! If he's not a guitar virtuoso someday, I'll be d*mned!
