Schema interviewsSungha Jung | The Fingerstylin' prodigy
You're kidding me? That incredible sound is coming from one kids manipulations of an instrument?
The young (really young!) SUNGHA JUNG has people "wow-ing" at their monitors at what he can do with a guitar at the tender age of eleven. Born and raised and still living in South Korea, this prodigy started playing less than three years ago after watching his dad play guitar for years before that. Now, whenever Sungha isn't in class, he's either practicing with his custom-made guitar (to fit his small body) and posting his covers on youtube, or appearing on talent shows like Korea's Star King
Don't confuse this kid with legends like Jimi Hendrix or Led Zeppelin, Sungha is purely a fingerstylist. And, fittingly, his lifelong dream is to become a professional acoustic fingerstyle guitarist. From the looks of it, that dream isn't too far off.

I ramdomly discovered him thru Youtube a day ago. And just got me speechless. Not only his technique is superb, he does understand the songs (maybe exception of Smells Like Teen Spirits - it's too dark for an innocent boy perhaps?) Anywayz I enjoyed reading ur article about Sungha.
