reviews:

"I have been struggling to play classical guitar for well over 30 years. I just discovered Sungha on Utube and I am blown off this planet. This boy has got to be a reincarnate of the spirit of such players in the category of Django Reinhardt etc He is truly inspiring and I feel honoured to have lived to see and hear him play. Keep with it Sungha you have more than what it takes."

"I am a professional cellist and the first comparison that comes to mind is wunderkind Mozart. Sungha is equally blessed. The natural genius of this youngster's abilities on the guitar just blows my mind! As with many great artists, he makes it all seem so effortless. I put several of his video clips on my Facebook so that others might also be discover him and find themselves just as mesmerized. I am entranced and impressed by your song-writing as well Sungha. Thank you for the joy you are bringing to the world! You leave us all awestruck! I hope some day to have the pleasure of hearing you play live. All the very best to you.

"Sungha Jung, the young master from Korea, has reaffirmed my faith in humanity. At his young age, he has already relegated at least a third of the world's current virtuosos (of any age) to has-been status. His technique is masterful, over a wide range of styles and idioms, and his sheer musicality is ravishing. This young man is a musical avatar. I wish him a joyous and successful life. It blows my mind to think of what he is be doing in five years. He is no doubt be world famous. Thanks for the inspiration, Sungha.
I build acoustic guitars for a living, so naturally, I'm curious about the guitar that Sungha plays in most of his videos. It's an awesome instrument; anybody out there know anything about it?
Anyway, best of good fortune to Sungha Jung and his family. -the edwinson"


The following is the musician's statement:

Hi, I'm Sungha Jung from South Korea. My dream is to become a professional acoustic fingerstyle guitarist.

I had been watching my dad play the guitar for awhile before I finally jumped on it myself three years ago. I just turned twelve in September, 2008.

Currently, I am taking weekly classical guitar lessons and teaching myself fingerstyle guitar.

I used to not have tabs for the music that I played in my videos. I just listen and pick them up directly from the sound source in videos available on the internet. However, recently, I have started playing with original tabs whenever they are available to me by courtesy of the authors.

My old guitar is custom made by Selma to fit my body size, and on it, Thomas Leeb wrote "Keep on grooving to my friend."

I'm very grateful to those prominent guitarists who have had a great influence on my guitar playing. I'll continue to study them and learn more about interpretation of music and various playing techniques.

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.

Last, but certainly not least, I can't thank Ulli Bögershausen enough for being my musical inspiration.
