Here's my Christmas present to you all: an absolutely amazing You-tube of a guy who has become my favorite young guitarist. Click here to open your present! Sungha Jung was 8 when this video was made. He's now 11, and MUCH BETTER! To see what else he can do, I recommend three other videos:
Canon in D (with Trace Bundy)
Manha Do Carnaval
Bolero (Yes, the entire orchestral work by Maurice Ravel, with four-part orchestration, all played live on one acoustic guitar, by an eleven-year old boy.)
Sungha says his parents will only let him practice 2 hours a day when school is in session, so it usually takes him 3 days to learn a song, or up to a week for a really hard one! He currently has about 330 You-Tube videos published. Google Sungha Jung for more. Merry Christmas!
