This is unequivocally the most difficult sequence of notes to play at that tempo no matter your guitar proficiency, and she pulls it off flawlessly. Yes, please come back.
@@brm9993 this simply isn’t true, this is ALOT harder to play cleanly than Jason Becker music. I can play Jason Becker’s music but still can’t play this song. Yet...
@@ryanshultzmusic117 It doesn't. It's only my answer to a specific comment. Nevertheless dedicate yourself on one thing in your life is not a good thing. But that's my opinion only.
Some of the best guitarists in the world, who have been playing decades longer than she has, would readily admit that they cannot perform some of the same feats on the fretboard that she can. She is a once in a lifetime virtuoso on the guitar. The combination of her talent, feel, speed, accuracy, dexterity and complexity is truly a gift from God. I know we’re not supposed to say this, but she's performing these covers better than some of the guitar legends who wrote them.
For the love of God, Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement, Arpeggios from Hell, Fire and Flames (she picks a lot more than H. Li. who hammers and pulls many of the Notes)
I just discovered this channel and am amazed at the wide variety of music types she plays. Simply one of a kind talent. Really brings me back to seeing Crossroads all those years ago.
He played both parts. Ralph Macchio's and "Jack Butler". Way back, Guitar Player magazine used to include 45' vinyl records in their magazines (anyone remember that?). The guitar duel was one of them. Both Vai's part and Ry Cooder's part. Included in pring was the transcribed sheet and tab for it. 35+ years later I've been trying to play this and it still eludes me. I have bits and pieces of it down. But, not the whole thing. I recall an interview with Vai. Saying that he REALLY, had to try to mess playing this piece up (hence why it looks obvious to anyone that plays).
Thankyou for putting these amazing videos back on You Tube Tina S. You probably had your own reasons for taking them off but you have so many fans that love seeing you play these incredible covers.
Please make another video... please understand its not just new young guitarists you inspire, its also old farts like me who have been trying to play this stuff forever and fail miserably. You are truly gifted, it's very rare that someone can be so technical but also soulful.There are a million shredders out there but you are the best hands down.
NOTHING is greater than somebody who finds their destiny while they are young. She could have wasted YEARS trying to find out what she's good at. As good as she is now, how much better will she be in the future. I see GREAT things for this talented beautiful girl. And Renaud - you have done a wonderful job with Tina! You two should be proud of each other!
Tina's range of styles and playing techniques are astonishing in a player so young. From Beethoven to Becker, she is brilliant and nails every note flawlessly. She is now my favorite guitarist to watch. I think that she believes she has done everything that she wanted to accomplish on guitar, and will now turn her attention to other areas of endeavor. I hope she does come back to play incredible guitar pieces for her multitude of fans. Good luck Tina in whatever you do in the future. A huge fan who loves your talent!
Wow. I just stumbled on this by accident. First time seeing you play and I'm blown away. I remember practicing this over and over and between the amount of memorization necessary and the multitude of picking techniques I eventually gave up about half way through. Never played it close to this fast though nor as clean. You're incredible!
Can’t believe anyone dislikes this kid , she is amazing. You’re going to be one of the greats young lady so you keep going and ignore those jealous buggers that don’t have it in them to give you the praise and encouragement you deserve. Well done 👍🏻
Some guitarists get all butt hurt when they see someone very young that can play better than they can, I'm not one of them. I've been playing 30 years and am counted as pretty damn good amongst my peers, but I could never play that. This is just awesome. My only "criticism" is that while her technique is amazing, she needs to work on her "feel". I forget who said it, don't remember if it was one of my teachers or a famous guitarist, but they said "learn all you can, then forget about it and just play". You'll have the technical foundation so your hands know what to do, then just let your heart and soul dictate what comes out.
Great comment. I feel that way about Tal wilkenfeld. I have been playing bass for 30 years and I am good in both upright and electric, straight forward fundamentals. Then a young person comes along whose soul and style are beyond nearly everyone on the planet that plays.
There are always going to be prodigies, that doesn't take anything away from you though. Everybody is different. I have a friend who toured with Van Halen back in the day, and one night he and Eddie were just hanging out and jamming, and Eddie told him "there are things that I can play that you can't, but there are things that you can play that I can't. I'm me, and you're you". Even the best still have things they can learn.
Nothing The established should always embrace new talent as that is what ensures great music continues way beyond our time in the world. A lot of people do not and feel threatened by whatever comes along which is nothing more than insecurity and a lack of belief in their own style - put the next gen down before addressing your own flaws. I would love to play as well as Tina S but I know that will never happen. However, people like Tina S are the reason we persevere and and strive to improve
I didn't watch that particular video, and I'm not confusing anything. I'm merely commenting on the video I saw. You obviously missed the part where I said it was "awesome".
Woooooowwww, I tried to learn this piece 10 years ago when I was a younger guitarist. I could sort of pull it off, but ultimately the piece was too challenging for me to perform. I just got blown away watching your performance. Impressive on so many levels. This gives me hope for the future of music. You are a superstar. Keep it up!!! I think I'm gna go practice now, so inspiring.
When I watched "Crossroads" first time in mid 80ies in cinema I would never have thought of a 14 yo girl doing it far better decades later. Masterclass, as well as Tina S' classic stuff. Discovered her couple of years ago when she was active. Just returned to her channel this week and think I've listened 50 hours + already last 6 days.
Coming from an experienced violinist, she is amazing. The Paganinis are so hard to play on any instrument, she is truly very talented Keep up the good work Tina 😉😉
Absolutely fantastic job on this!!!! You should be so proud of your ability and I hope you're able to put this talent into an original recording down the road.....Bravo!
awesome -amazing-one of a kind- after playing close to 50yrs-i still can't get past the 1st. minute at that speed. she is special and so is her support family teacher ect
I've just thrown my guitar in the bin :) ..... Some people might say "Pah, no feeling" .... yep, she will get that over time .... but don't be fooled, this is, technically, a very, very difficult piece of music to play ..... the ease with which this young lady plays it is incredible.... well done, keep practising, always learning ..... a future, if not already, force to be reckoned with in the World of guitar playing......
What a wonderful thing... super inspiring!!! Actually watching this video we see how serious work generates results!!! From the depths of my heart my congratulations!
The best Ive ever seen !! She's Not from this planet .. She's so special .Not sure why she. Disappeared. Eddie V had some competition with this beautiful soul . she is my favorite to ever play , and the person I would want to meet more than any celebrity or famous human. She's mastered it not many can ever say that she plays so clean. 😘 Amazing !!!
It's not just that she is a complete monster, which she is, but the fact that out of all four videos of her that I've watched, the tones are completely identical to those used in the pieces she covers! hahaha magnificent! :)
Did you sell your soul to the devil where the Hell did you get that extreme talent from? I've seen a lot of people play this 5 caprice but no one play better than that it's absolutely amazing. I love it thanks for sharing your massive talent with us all. ❤️
This piece of music is what inspired me to play guitar when I first saw it 20 years ago. I am still trying to learn it. Now here you are, younger than I was when I first saw it, and already you play it beautifully. I am absolutely amazed! Well done. You are one hell of a guitar player!
This girl is amazing... I am a guitarist myself and I have found that there are ranks within the guitar world. Knowing chords and scales makes you a "beginner"... this is where you start and even the start is no easy task. There are literally millions that know how chords and scales work. The next is when you can make your own variations within chord progressions and scales.."Adept" . The next is the Master...this is achieved through an almost literal transformation..."where you FEEL the music itself" Some people call this a "gift" and rightly so..because there are many who cannot learn this...You can memorize other peoples songs, play them flawlessly and still not touch the "feel" of the original..very few can. Not to sound crazy but old timers called it "soul" when you actually put your soul into the sounds themselves... People say Jimi Hendrix was overrated and scoffed at his distorted mixtures while others thought he was a demi-god on guitar...there is no doubt there are allot of variations out there but you will know when someone has "soul" in their music... David Gilmore was the oppostite of Jimi through clean edge solos with flawless feel to them..and I could name many more with different feels to them... Not to go on and on I would explain it even more simplistic... Most people are distinguished by the sound of their vocal chords...but when the person puts emotion and feeling into what they say they no longer become boring and monotone but rather interesting and unique.... This girl has in my book reached the adept phase at an almost impossible age...and to encourage her and support her is perhaps a way to unlock something that you and I could only dream to attain..
you can see it starting to show in her "Dreamtheatre" clip...watch the emotion and feel she puts into it...even her body language shows her soul is genuinely expressed through her playing.
I somewhat agree yes, anyone with tab and a metronome could master this in a few weeks of constant practice... this being if you have already become "Adept". I certainly do not consider myself a "Master" I have had the "Gift" since youth. Whilst I do not play classical music or attempt at "super guitarists material" I FEEL and can put my soul into my music... mostly blues and rock. However that is not nearly as complicated as this classical piece. I would like to acknowledge your comment as very good with just one extra note. I can play some mean blues and I wouldn't hesitate to take the stage with any accomplished blues player but I think this kid can do much more than what she shows here. Love guitar but after watching this maybe, after 38 yrs I should just play on the porch with my old dog and a glass of whiskey. Nice comment sir. She is gonna make it to the Feel part sooner than we did.
Amazing response for an epic performance. I agree 100% just goes to show, no matter how good you think you may be , there’s someone that will always motivate you!!
Hmm I don't know, I don't even see a whammy on the guitar. I see a reflection of something next to her elbow that moves around as she moves the guitar but no whammy that I can see.
This type of comment is under every kid's shred video. The reason you can't do it is because you don't want to. Just like Bob Dylan can't do it. Or Eric Clapton, or George Harrison. The implication of your comment is that one is "better" if they can play this. Clearly that's not true.
One of my favorite pieces on guitar. Vai, amazing in his prime. That was awesome....note for note. Talented and pretty. I'm sure that took a bit to dissect. 😎✌🤘🙏🙏♥️
Y'know, I quit! Too many people are just so freakin' good, like this kid who plays like most people just walk. I am a keyboardist and couldn't do this if I had two brains. Fuck it, I'm gone! I'll reduce myself to playing family reunions and by myself in a dark basement.
Rich Green if there is anything I have learned from youtube it is how much awesome talent we have in this world. many of these covers are as good or better than the artist they are covering!
raj lippy I second that, my friend. This girl shreds with zero effort. Then looks around in the middle of a killer run like she's bored! She makes me proud and sick all at the same time!
You are terrific Tina how do you do it theres musicians out there who couldn`t do with ordinary instruments what you just achieved on a guitar, just brilliant.
What I don't get is how accurately and equally expressive she is able to play all these songs, like what was your practice routine to get to this level of accuracy and ability all in one?! 🤯
This girl is incredible. Almost robotic. Every other young player I've watched makes the occasional mistake. She never does. She's the type who follows the mantra "Don't practice till you get it right, practice until you never get it wrong."
OMG! Holy Shit! Sorry for cussing but man...I've been playing since I was 7 yrs old, I'm almost 46 now. I can't do that! I really hope you do something with your amazing talent girl. Awesome.
Express your thoughts all you want commenters, but never use any insults on Tina. Even if you're professional musicians, please give her respect and support. She is only 17 years of age and can play so well. I've seen several commenters that criticize her because they thought that she "lacks emotion" or "just shreds" which isn't true whatsoever. She always uses musical emotion to her playing. Vibrato, melody, precision, and bends are the major signs to playing with feel and she's been using those wonderfully. Even if there are videos of her playing fast parts of the covers, there are also slower parts of the songs that she played such as Becker, Vai, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Yngwie, Dragonforce, Metallica, and Megadeth. Not all of her videos are of her playing fast solos, there are videos of her playing slow ones such as AC/DC, Gary Moore, Pink Floyd, and Slash. Also, in her pre-electric guitar videos, she's doing classical guitar techniques in some videos such as free-stroke and rest-stroke and she's done finger styling in other videos. Many people are saying that they'd love to hear her original songs and I would too, but we just have to give her some time and let her decide if she wants to or not and I don't think she has to do that. Since I once heard that she's a student at musical history, composition, and theory and has been getting straight A's, I'm sure one day she'll make masterpieces and she'd make an amazing composer. If any commenter disagrees with me, it's their own opinion and it's okay to express their feelings, but calling her any insulting words are flat out unacceptable. She's one of the greatest female guitar teenagers that began as child guitarists and someday, she can be one of the best guitarists ever in reality and she's one of my favorite players and one of the greatest players in my book.
