I've been pottering about on my guitar longer than Tina S has even EXISTED, but I can still only strum around a dozen or so chords! Ok, they help me play a couple of hundred songs, but this girl is incredible, & waaaaay beyond anything I can even imagine playing!!!!! 😲
Check out her version of Jason Beckers Altitudes. Her skill in every guitar technique is unbelievable. Vivaldi's 4 seasons is also top notch at 14 years old.
I think that her cover of super difficult Jason Becker's Altitudes is the only song I have heard from her where she almost had to concentrate really hard in some parts of the song, anyway. In that cover she seems to be also emotionally quite strongly attached to the song. You can see there that the song is very important to her.
Glad you did this one after Through the Fire and Flames. Another phenomenal performance. Check out Steve Vai - For the Love of God or Jason Becker - Altitudes. Both great.
Came here to say the same thing about her "Smile" not a smirk, at least not to me, any way whatever you call it, it is a beautiful ending to a masterpiece. Just one or two seconds in a 9-min video, makes the whole thing in my estimation.
@@0ParisFrance I know, but what we were talking about is the fact that Squirrel missed the last one, (which in my opinion is the best)Also the one at 50seconds is beautiful
Hey Squirrel. Seen as you like Tina’s guitar playing, you have to check out a young lad from Liverpool, England. He’s called Harrison and he plays the piano, knocks out combination of 80’s and 90’s music. Very talented. His RU-vid channel is called, Harrison Piano.
Please discover another youngster by the name of Marcin. He's from Poland and he has complete control over his acoustic guitar, whether strumming it (any which way you can think of), or using it for percussion. It will be a pleasure to see your face reacting to "Kashmir on one guitar", originally by Led Zeppelin: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fA3jFMDBiu4.html
There is no point in looking at the guitar. If you don't already just know where all the notes are, this isn't going to happen. Vision would just be a distraction. By the time you see a finger going wrong it's too late. Vision just isn't that fast.
I've watched countless Tina S reaction videos and the average response has been dumbfounded speechlessness. Most of the time I've had to wait a full thirty seconds after the lightning speed guitar playing ceased before the reactor came to their senses enough to say something "brilliant" like, "Jeez, that was good wasn't it?" Actually, their silence spoke more eloquently about what they experienced than words ever could. This is what I think happens to us while watching Tina S covers. Our brains begin to roast when 450 degrees of Tina S quadruple-speed guitar virtuosity is applied to them. We have to hit the stop button every thirty seconds to allow a cooling process to take place lest our brains sizzle out of control and melt. Tina S is performing guitar shredding impossibilities right before our very eyes. Hence, our confusion. Tina S, in our minds, is just too dang young to be playing that good! The average person can't swallow the theory that practice alone got her to that level of amazingness. A gift from God? Probably. At least that's my view. There have been two good Tina S reaction responses that caught my eye. 1. I think the "S" in Tina S stands for SPED UP! 2. "Watching Tina S play should be the easy part and her playing should be the hard part. But my experience was that watching her was the hard part because her playing appeared to be the easy part." Weird. But true. Afterthoughts. Tina has been negatively accused of being emotionless while playing. Granted, she doesn't gush with emotion like your average rock guitarist but here are three reasons why she acts that way. REASON 1. Tina S is NOT a rock guitarist. She's a classically trained guitarist. Notice how she has her guitar propped up on her left leg. Classical guitar style all the way. Classical guitarists are prim and proper and subdued on stage. Tina is probably mimicking the great classical guitarist Segovia's expression while playing not Angus Young's. By the way, Tina IS expressing emotion, it's literally pouring out of her instrument. REASON 2. Tina is not performing on a rock stage with 30,000 lunatic fans expecting guitar virtuosity and gobs of emotion. She is performing in a simple studio with one cameraman as her audience. She doesn't need to perform rock star stunts like playing the guitar with her teeth, or setting it on fire, or biting off the heads of bats. She's just playing the damn thing! Better than anyone that I've ever seen. REASON 3. The third reason why Tina isn't showing emotion is because what she's doing is easy. Yes, easy. How much emotion do you show while tying your shoe laces? Zero. Right? Why? Because tying your shoes is easy. You don't grimace and squint and bite your lower lip while tying your shoes because you don't need to and it would be weird if you did. Tina doesn't grimace and squint and bite her lower lip while shredding the guitar because she doesn't need to. The end.
