If u ask me to choose from Andrew Foy or Sungha Jung, I Choose Andrew Foy mainly because he is 12 years old, having such a skill, looks awesome and plays like a pro
I know him. But Igor doesn't do as many popular song covers. He is an amazing guitarist, but Sungha Jung is first, a lot younger. Second, chooses songs I like.
Legend has it that you must do 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run day after day for the next 3 years to play the first minute of the song like how Sungha demonstrates in this here video.
The only way to get to this level, is if you close this tab right now, pick up that guitar and get playing. Keep playing and one day you'll end up as good as him, never give in and press on fellow guitarists.
And to be fair, this song isn't that hard. Learn the slap properly and you got the hardest part of the song down. His collection contains waay harder songs.
Bovey Z Yes, but also the way he plays it is more complicated than normal pick. I've always played like him, it's the way i was taught, nd it's still difficult for me. I've been playing for over 4 years, but i also haven't devoted everything to playing guitar, but you get my point.
Tatjana Loca Unfortunately... I don't. Sorry, I didn't understand what you mean by "more complicated than normal picking." Don't get me wrong, this song must be pretty hard for beginners, maybe even veterans, but picking is just picking. It's not like we're playing Flamensco stuff, now THAT requires you to learn a different set of skills.
Actually guys.. This guy is damn good.. He started when he was still a kid.. What i like to this guys is that he is very good in hearing, creating his own style and music.. Some Tabs out there is not as good as his Tabs..
SecretVirusDetected No one is saying he's bad, I was saying that this song is one of the much more easier ones out of his arrangements, and much more approachable ones.
Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars I see this life like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line And my face is flashing signs Seek it out and you shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told I feel something so right Doing the wrong thing I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I could lie, coudn't I, could lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars I feel the love and I feel it burn Down this river, every turn Hope is a four-letter word Make that money, watch it burn Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told I feel something so wrong Doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be counting stars Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Everything that kills me makes feel alive Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, Said, no more counting dollars We'll be, we'll be, counting stars Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned Take that money Watch it burn Sink in the river The lessons are learned
Its amazing how we could make different beats with just the guitar and i love using the guitar because 1. I can carry it with me anywhere x3 2. I can experiment with it 3. I can make weird cool and i-dunno-type-of-beats And Basically the name "Sungha Jung" pretty much sums it up
YOOOO i listen this wonderful SHIT every fucking day it gives me so much energy so much greatness man...listening this guy play just makes me a total diferent person when i'm not listening,playing or thinking about it IT IS SO GOOD bro omfg u my hero man ily
Discovering Sungha Jung gave me the biggest need to improve my skills~ His technique is so nice to listen to, and his difficulty is within my reach, on the very outskirts of what I can manage, so I've become so much better in the little time since I started playing his arrangements ^^ Still, I've got a long way to go, but with an actual goal in mind (to be able to play everything he does (now)), practicing is so much easier :D
Ultron X It depends on your skill and techniques and stuff, but my guitar teacher always told me it was better with five minutes a day than one hour once a week c: I've been playing for nine years, a little bit once a day. That being said though, Sungha is able to play arrangements that are much more complex than his own, so I'm not even anywhere close to his god-like level ^^'
Mind over Mindfuck will there be anyone near him in future?? And what more is left for him to show...he mastered the fretboard. What could possibily be the techniques and stuff remaining to be adapted by him? I can't think of any.
Its like you can hear the words from his guitar. This is true talent. Never heard anything like this. This makes all of the stars nowadays look like theyre untalented. Keep it up!
I just can't get it that you won't just make a mistake when literally, the strings are just a centimeter apart. Just great. You are indeed the PRINCE OF GUITAR :)
Haters gonna hate, but tbh not knowing something doesn't mean you can't dislike it. I can say I didn't like a song or a movie even though my singing/acting is crap.
I've tried to learn this year 2013 but failed. I never thought I'd be capable to learn it now. So this is why it must have been hard for me before because of the non standard tuning. Now, I've finally been able to learn and master this for a day.
Man..this guy is so awesome everybody literally every guitarist in here is talking about him...He is very very good..i really get encouraged after seeing him play
I was learning how to play counting stars n i wanted to listen to someone play it n i coincidentally found this n i was amazed n i just sunk ito his playing.This is really nice!!!
wow his a real insparation to me since i was watching his guitar cover first time thats why i'am playin the guitar now . i love his music so much it makes me feel relaxed
This right here is exactly why i like watching him he doesn't need to sing cause he doesn't do a boring strum pattern, he's a finger picking legend to me.
Lately I been, I been losing sleep Dreaming about the things that we could be But baby I been, I been prayin' hard Said no more counting dollars We'll be counting stars Yeah, we'll be counting stars [Verse 1] I see this life Like a swinging vine Swing my heart across the line In my faces flashing suns Seek it out and ye shall find Old, but I'm not that old Young, but I'm not that bold And I don't think the world is sold I'm just doing what we're told I feel something so right At doing the wrong thing I feel something so wrong At doing the right thing I could lie, could lie, could lie Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
