Damn, she IS good. It bothered me though that it NEVER looked like she was picking, she strums almost constantly no matter WHAT her left hand is doing. Freaky.

Dude. She's 13.

DAMMIT I thought for the first second or two that she was gonna bust out some Doobie Brothers

why is it that most Asian children musicians look devoid of emotion when playing, not matter how good they are? btw...this girl IS pretty damn good.

This is a thousand times more impressive and musical than that million note per second android in the other thread.

Christ, I may have to kick out the recorder and steal that for the iTunes.

Actually, I AM going to kick out the recorder and steal that. Hmmm, how the hell do I tag that one?

She'd give my brother in law a run for his money, and he's GOOD.

I pretty sure this is Su Meng^, the Chinese classical guitarist. If so, that would make here 20. Watch her tear up some Paganini^ if you really want to be impressed.

Jeezus, I feel lame, now.

Zen concentration?

I love that silky tone.

Better back that up with a YouTube video for that claim guitar-man!

Not that I'm anywhere near qualified to judge. I just want more cool music. ;)

Same here. I was all ready to bust out the Rockband and sing along.

/Cue wasis kid

FUNK SUCKS!!!!!!

/METAL!

Her playing kicks ass, but that's one boring song. She made it tolerable, though.

Yeah, Strangeguitar, please prove it!

I agree with weaps: me likey good gee-tar!!!

Please, can I have some more gee-tar??

Thanks!

She'll get a lot of pussy in college.

You, sir, are a farking genius.

Yeah that's Su Meng, and she turns 20 this year. Here's another video from the series. She's demonstrating guitars for a Korean guitar maker. There's a couple of other videos like this on YouTube, as well as her "regular" gig, doing classical guitar.

Nice tone. Nice technique.

Now if she'd just get her heart broken by some 13 year old boy (or girl, whatever)...maybe get a crappy grade in algebra...have her bike stolen...then she could give it some emotion.

Keep goin' girl.

Jesus Farking Christ: czerno: She'll get a lot of pussy in college.

Seconded.

Isnt that just the rhythm guitar parts from Listen to the Music?

godiluvbeer: why is it that most Asian children musicians look devoid of emotion when playing, not matter how good they are? btw...this girl IS pretty damn good.

As far as I know, most child musicians don't show emotion when they play.

i'm surprised she put her violin down long enough to learn guitar

/aisle seat

You nailed it sir, she is totally playing listen to the music.

Who/what is she copying?

Copy.

Walk up to one of these "prodigies" and say:

"Play something bouncy and up-tempo in A major"

or

"Play something dark and morose in D minor"

and they will just give you a blank stare.

Super copy-cats = marginal "talent"
Not impressed.

This is really nice.

And, for what it's worth, it's every bit as robotic as the songs that no-nothing nitwits crap on as being "soulless".

Officer, I know how this looks, but would you please open that file labled "13 year old Korean girl" before hauling out the handcuffs?

I have to sell my guitar now, I've been bested by a 13 year old.

Give the girl props for her discipline and woodshedding.

Faster != Better.

When did funky become synonymous with mall music?

She may be able to play the guitar better, but I'm not an ugly asian so I win this round.

I bet you could kick her ass at Guitar Hero, right?

Conrad Oberg is better.

Because demoing a guitar = original compositional skills, right?

Yep. And THAT makes me suspecious.

"robotic"? Sounds like she's improvising over the Listen To The Music changes to me. Last time I checked, '(good) improvisation > *' Girl's got skills, yo. Don't be hatin'.

godiluvbeer: why is it that most Asian children musicians look devoid of emotion when playing, not matter how good they are? btw...this girl IS pretty damn good.

Because it is not fun for them. If they make a mistake, they know that their music teachers will beat them and so will their parents for dishonoring the family.

Excellent! Very smooth style.

Ok, now I'm depressed. Thanks a farking bunch subby.

Going to downstairs to practice.

/SLAM!

Um... yes. That's what we're talking about.

My first FARKING GREENLIGHT and I missed it!
/grrrrrrrrrr

That was awesome
