Biography
This is an incorrect tag for Sungha Jung, the artist simply uses the name Sungha Jung for all his releases, please fix your tags
Sungha Jung is a 15 year old musical prodigy, acoustic fingerstyle guitarist from South Korea. It is his dream to become a professional fingerstyle guitarist.
Sungha had been watching his Dad play the guitar for a while before deciding to pick one up himself, only a few short years ago. When he is not in school, Sungha can be found practicing for up to three hours a day. Sungha uses a custom guitar to fit his body size, and on which Thomas Leeb wrote “Keep on grooving to my friend.”
He says it usually takes him about 3 days to learn, practice and then videotape a new song, which he then uploads to his Youtube profile. More difficult pieces can take him up to a week. He says he started off by learning music by-ear from the videos he watched online but has recently started using tabs that are available from the authors.
On his page you can find his renditions of artists like Elton John, The Beatles, Nirvana, Bon Jovi and many others. It’s hard to say where he will be in ten years if he keeps at this rate, but it is obvious he has a natural talent is destined for greatness. There’s no telling how far his skills can take him.
