Violinist Hears Tina S For First Time ( Moonlight Sonata )- Pro Guitarist Reacts 

Go for her Vivaldi tribute....Stunning!!!!

It's nice that a lady of classical music makes her comments. I am of the opinion that she does the taping with at least 3 if not 4 fingers. How her fingers gently glide over the strings. She taps with her right finger as if it were a piano. Absolutely fantastic And at a speed where even your eyes can't capture everything.

It is said that she returned to her home in another galaxy, only in this way can the inexplicable be explained. Her Majesty Tina S was born to play the guitar, she is a virtuoso, an unimaginable and unattainable talent, Mexico

The best part of your "Introduction" videos is the level of excellence YOur guests bring. That and watching them be as blown away by the talent as I am.

Tina playing Gary Moore The Loner is so good as well ! Some notes are soul piercing !

You have to react to Tina doing Steve Vai's for the love of God. It's a must

I enjoy when Nikki is closing her eyes and just letting the music flow in her mind and she's just enjoying it and focused on the music being performed

IMO, Tina is a generational virtuoso. Her skill level, even at this age, is second to none.

She has two techniques. When she plays rock she holds the guitar on her right knee, with the neck horizontal. For a classical piece like this it goes on her left knee with the neck raised, There are two distinct guitarists living in her brain.

To do tapping, she put a hair elastic at the top of the neck to avoid resonances. Everything is calculated and very precise at Tina. She also put a string block nut at the top to prevent her strings from flying away !! She changed her micro setting 7 times during the song. She made 23 slides (wiiiiooooouuu). And she smiled 7 times too !

Definitely check out Tina Setkic Dragon Force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old awesome request 😀

The transcription was done by Dr Viossy indeed. But her rendition is on another level.😂

you can't convince me that Beethoven wouldn't have been a straight metal head if he was alive today

Yo Mike, great reaction team. Interesting to hear a new viewpoint, and confirmation of the flow of the guitar following faithfully to the melody. Even if metal. I certainly appreciate this, but is not my favourite track in anyway. Maybe in my 20s…..getting a quite different enjoyment from different music in my mid life, but I have always been eclectic.

Very nice; you have to react to her cover of "for the love of god" from Steve Vai, you will see she's not only a technical monster 🙃

Tina's version of Gary Moore's The Loner is one of her best. Just an epic cover.

Pls react to Marcin Patrzalek's renditions of Paganini's caprices no 5 and 24. On one guitar ...

I want to start off by saying that we all should praise Dr Viossy for scoring this Sonata for pianoforte. What he did, was to bring every single musician to the table discussing Beethoven's influence not just on your ordinary classical scene, but also how so many composers of especially Rock music, knowingly or unknowingly, reflect his (Beethoven's) style. Hence the fact that many "classically" trained musicians would say that 'Beethoven would love this'. Then.. This was the last of the set of covers by Tina recorded at the age of 17 in 2016. Not only did she master this piece, it is the way she performance this and all of her other covers. All the necessary intricacies and details of this piece are clearly heard and perfectly executed as only the true masters can. [There's a video, synchronized, showing both the composer, Dr Viossy and Tina playing this piece.] Viossy didn't miss a thing of the original piano version when he wrote it, including passing notes,trillls, and many more. For a person as young as Tina to have captured all of the above so perfectly is a display of the level of her gift - her God-given insight into everything that seems even impossible for us to understand! Her intake and execution of every single cover that she does is way beyond anyone I know, and especially at her age, still has to be born! Of the original set, Tina did also Ingwie's "Arpeggios from hell", and some snatches of Panini and Vivaldi. Enjoy also "Through the fire and flames" by Dragon Force, Steve Vai's "For the love of God" Altitude by Jason Becker, Gary Moore's "The Loner" and more. Thank you for your reaction and for having someone with you who really knows this piece. She was listening specifically and intensely for those tiny little details. However, she agrees that Tina cannot be flawed on any! A reaction really well done and with respect for our lovely guitarist, Tina Setkic. Thank you.

You could both check out Steve Howe, and Patrick Moraz playing "Beginnings" written by Steve Howe, and "Mood For A Day". Steve incorporates the baroque style in many of his pieces.

i bet you would love Epica (my favourite band, dutch symphonic metal, loads of variation as well)

She does Vivaldi too 👍

I loved bill and Ted, classic idea. “I’m Keanu” 😂. I really enjoyed this, Nikki is a very classy lady. It makes me wonder if either of you have heard any ENZSO? It’s split enz songs reworked and done with the NZ symphony orchestra, with a variety of lyricists including Neil Finn of course. I think it’s a special album. And yo! you can stop worrying now 😂

Check the Jason Becker one.................. Altitudes................ Tina KILLS it

The most metal music ever started at 12:21, it was written by a classical musician in the 19th century, go figure. This give you a glimpse into the greatness of classical music.

Yo!, hoho... hey Nikki's pretty cool. Tina's left hand is astounding when she jumps to a fret position on the neck from so far away so precisely and so quickly, absolute control! Also her right hand when picking is basically a relaxed fist, barely moving, so precise! And of course the transcription/arrangement is fantastic. So to practice this she must have drilled at more difficult exercises or faster tempo so that she can do this piece so very relaxed with no errors, yes?

Such a kick how ;Oh pulese, she is !

"Tapping on the lute?" I see a Brandon Acker cameo coming ;)

Beethoven=metal. She makes it obvious to those who hadn't thought about that. Btw, Yo!

Interesting that you'd mention Paganini, Malmsteen, and violin ... there's a performance by (a subgroup of) Unlucky Morpheus of Yngwei's Far Beyond the Sun, except that the soloist in question is playing a violin. Full circle. You should check it out, or maybe even show it to Nikki

I don't know how true it is, but I heard she stopped in 2016 to concentrate on her education and attended a university (or French equivalent) and is now back since 2023

Everyone seems to think she's nonchalant and you said it was up you to other guitarists. I think differently. I think she is totally concentrating. When she's not looking at the guitar it is invariably through very technical parts where timing and coordination are needed. I am no musician though.

Tina S is one of the 8 wonders. Angelina Jordan singing is the 9´th wonder. Both way above other musicians and singers. Exept Angelina is just 18 years today.

nice

🤘

Wouldn't surprise me if she is also looking at a wave screen (screen as 'conductor') to get the timing right with the backing. There are some off-beat accents because it's based on classical music. I myself like to do that too with recordings with tempo changes f.i.

Tina Shred

I'm still here .... Yo ! Gilles 😉

Keanu did "Bill and Ted Face the Music" back in 2020.

great reaction cheers! i think she is pondering if she has left the oven on, she sure comes alive at times. heya missus violinist, i tried the violin, i know music theory and violin spacing, but i just couldn't get the bow action at all! still annoys me lol. aye great reaction.

Please reaction to Unlucky Morpheus .（Black Pentagram...etc.）

Don´t worry,- Tina S is a legend, Marcin is Marcin, Tim Henson is Tim Henson, Ichika is Ichika and the rest of us can always try to play a slow blues i Am melodically focusing on the flat 5 or a single line swinging version of Für Elise so we can at least try to convince ourselves we have just a little justification. We have none.

She does Vivaldi to.....

“Beethoven was metal people don’t realise it” Everything is going to sound different now Thank you Mike, thank you Nikki Yo, I’m still alive…… btw I like Nikki I feel like she is one of those humans that just being in her company could help me be smarter….. if that makes sense Anyways Respect to you both Take care Daz

Just under 3,000 notes

Yo

Interesting guest. Does Nikki have a RU-vid channel?

Pagannini 5th caprice tina s!!!!

They already did the reboot, it wasn't good. Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)

you talk far too much just lrt the clip play no=one has heard of you so your comments mean nothing Tina is in a class by herself I doubt if you could match her so just stop m talking

Edgy like she's sharing her pain with us. Not the style I love. You don't need to be fast to be cool. Shredding violins too is great for AGT but not something I'd call relaxing or even joyful to listen to. With age and maturity a change will come, ......

I prefer music with passion and feeling rather than monotone loud noisy passionless guitar. What she performed is technically great...but lacked passionate feelings generated that is normally felt in just the first 45 seconds of Moonlight Sonata.
