Sungha Jung (Korean: 정성하; born 2 September 1996) is a South Korean musician who specializes in acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Jung creates acoustic covers and arrangements, typically by ear and/or by watching videos, and has original music, which he plays and uploads online. He was often described as a guitar prodigy, though he prefers to be known as a ‘guitarist’ rather than a ‘prodigy’. His YouTube channel currently has more than 5 million subscribers.

Jung developed an interest in guitar after watching his father play. He found his father’s guitar playing more interesting than piano, which he was already learning. At first, Jung’s mother and grandmother disapproved of the ‘noise’ that Jung and his father continuously created, but they came to understand it as his gift.

His cover of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song, which currently has over 55 million views on YouTube, made Jung an internet sensation, and his playing caught the attention of world-renowned guitarists, who found his covers of their songs impressive.

Apart from Korean, Jung speaks English,which he studied to be able to communicate during concerts abroad.

I’ve been trying to play guitar for 50 years. I’ve just seen this and I was nearly in tears. What a performance!
I’m speechless…If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes how young he is, I wouldn’t have believed it. Great playing, great talent. Thanks for sharing, little brother.

I’ll bet you have been playing and practicing more than a thousand years !!

Son YOU are truly the best I’ve ever seen… I promise you make the people cry that wrote them songs when you play

Excuse me…. my guitar doesn’t do that.

it’s amazing to see a boy growing up year by year on YouTube

Heey i got my new guitar . And when i watch this kid i want to burn it

Oh so you were twelve here? I guess there’s just something wrong with my guitar…

A 12 year old that can play on par with an entire orchestra using nothing but a single acoustic guitar. The mind boggles.

when sungha jung was 12 – takes the world by surprise with his fingerstyle guitar skills me when i was 12 – wow is that sand? i wanna eat some

I think your great great great great grandpa is a Guitar and ,great great great great grandma is a Ukulele.

When I was 12, I was wondering how can Pikachu transform into Raichu. And this guy is already pro in guitar.

He was twelve! WHEN I WAS TWELVE I DID NOTHING.
Now, i’m 21 and still do nothing lol

Roses are red violets are blue, there’s always an Asian better than you

Who is cutting onions? 🙂

this sounds way more beautiful than the original piano version

Am not ready to accept the fact that a 14 year old boy can beautifully transpose all the piano sections In a guitar and play it so damn well…….

You must be the 10 best guitar player in the world, in rolling stones
Keep sharing your God-given talent with us Sungha Jung…

This song is dedicated to piano playing…acoustic doesnt sound as nice as piano on high pitch. Of coz, Sungha still plays so freaking well…
