Let Sungha Jung's Magic Soothe Your Soul
Anybody can play a guitar. But only a few can make a guitar sing the way Sungha Jung can. If you have heard him for the first time then you might think that music is being played by two adult professional guitar musicians. But you'll be really surprised to know that the music is being played by a 9 year old. Sungha is now thirteen. He is now better than most guitarists out there. That is if we take into account his age.
"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

It became the theme song for Andy Williams, who first recorded the song in 1961 and performed it at the Academy Awards ceremonies in 1962. He sang the first eight bars of the song at the beginning of his television show; he also named his production company and venue in Branson, Missouri after "Moon River".
Williams' version was vetoed by Cadence president Archie Bleyer, who believed it had little or no appeal to teenagers.[citation needed] Andy Williams' version never charted, except as an LP track, which he... More on Wiki
It was this song that led me to discover the magic of Sungha Jung. I was out surfing the net for a tablature of this song. It is one of my best friends favorites musical pieces. She gave me her guitar as her legacy to me and I promised myself to learn this song no matter what. The matter is... You can too with this wonderful book foundonly in Amazon. The tablature for Moon River is written here.
I'm still learning it.

This song was supposed to be our intermediate school graduation song. But due to the nature of it's being a rock ballad... our super old fashioned gnarled faculty rejected it. We were practicing it for four whole months and then they rejected it one month before graduation day. They then ordered us to sing the "Like An Eagle". Learn to play it using the techniques written in this book found only in Amazon.
I was able to play a close imitation of this song when I was in college. It took me the better half of a semester to get it. That's how tone deaf I am. :-)

This is one of the songs I was asked to sing in front of a crowd when I was in college. I was joining a student organization that time and singing suddenly to an unsuspecting crowd was part of the acceptance rights. The shame... hahahaha. But it was better than measuring the dimension of the dorm using a match stick.

Sungha fantastically captures the time and era of this song. Only a true Guitar Hero can play this song at such a tender age. That's the result of constant hours of guitar practice instead of constant hours of video game playing.
