Easily the coolest guitar duet in the history of guitar duets. I’ve watched this almost 50 times over 2 years and it still blows my mind!! Sungha, you legend!!
This is the fruit of many hours of hard practice, thousands of failures, frustrations, loss of confidence. People see the fruit, and they forget about the tree. Don't post any silly, empty praises about "talent" or "genius", or being gifted. He works damn hard at his guitar. Don't idolize this guy and beat up on your own inability. Gotta send those roots deep to grow delicious fruit. Which is what i'm gonna do now, peace
Playing FAR too many hours of computer games. I picked up the guitar around 10 months ago. I have a LOT of work to reach these guys' level, but I'm thankful to them and others for inspiring me and showing me what's possible. I hope it fires you up too.
Saying someone is a genius is not empty praise. The dude is a genius and we an practice all we want but few will ever get as good as he is. I'm with you on the "not beating up ourselves" part though. He makes me want to practice more.
I think this is the most meaningful example of what the Internet has done for this planet... We are all brothers and sisters... riding this crazy rock through space and time. Politics, religion, economics, borders, cultural biases are all just meaningless crap when you boil everything down to the basics. Here we all are from everywhere all over this crazy rock... and we are all feeling and enjoying the same experience. Thanks guys! Well done!
I am in agreement, and music absolutely proves that there can be harmony,if we just tune up together . As a guitar player I know how perfect strangers can become lifetime friends,brothers,and sisters,by tuning up together and play nice....these two show a shining example of that premise,and with Eric Clapton's music, a British Bluesman and I'm certain Clapton smiled when he heard this as much as I am smiling now, just hearing it for the first time..✌️🎸🎉💜🎵🎵🎁🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️. Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I rewatched this so many times. Also kind of cool to know that they have been playing together since Sungha was young. Incredible synergy. 진짜 잘했어요 둘다! 나도 그렇게 치고싶다 ㅠㅠ
This kid is born to do that! Man he would be one of the greatest to ever play the instrument if he continues his work and brings it to even higher levels. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR HIM! Keep it up, Sungha Jung!
People who say he's an robot or he plays without feeling should watch this. How is this playing without feeling/passion? :P He's obviously enjoying this. Just because he tends to be more restrained when under public scrutiny doesn't mean he likes playing the guitar any less or isn't passionate about it.
If anyone likes or even loves acoustic guitar music, this is an absolute meltdown for your ears. Such a joy to watch and listen to an acoustic jam for the ages.
This is my thirtieth or something youtube clip of Sungha that I have watched just for today. feel like I can listen to his guitar forever ever and ever...
As much as I love RUclips for discovering great talents such as these artists, it's a struggle to remain optimistic about the world we live in when I see over 200 thumb-downs and negative comments. Sungha Jung and Akihiro Tanaka will change the world (for the better) with their music.
Or he actually just practices a lot? I bet that if you would have the experience he gained during his life you would play (definitely diffrent) perhaps almost as good, better or somewhat worse. His quality might be deterrence or something else, but maybe he really is a 'genius'? Don't judge too quickly and just enjoy :) I'm not sure why you commented tha,t but I doubt it is enjoyable to read for anyone, nor is my comment to you.
People who say that he's a robot or that he plays without feeling should see this. How is this playing without feeling? :P He's obviously enjoying it. Just because he tends to be more restrained when under public scrutiny doesn't mean that he doesn't love playing the guitar any less.
uhhhhh!!! very nice.....I'm learning guitar and every time I see or see more playing touch someone give me more desire to continue learning to play guitar!!!!
Why can't people just accept that musical taste is unique for each person... Yes, there are people who listened to this and didn't like it. Accept it and move on, they have different opinion, that's normal. Just because I was pretty much stunned by this song and insta-liked it, it doesn't mean everybody has to have it same way.
Old comment I know, Eric Clapton is one of his biggest influences and idols. Please pay respect to the greats who paved the way. Also, Eric Clapton did not write the guitar for this song. Fact.
did anyone else just smile all the way through this??as of today im not making anymore music videos on you tube after watching these bloody geniuses !!
words just dont do you justice.... simply amazing in every way the harmony was something else.... in the past hour of listening to you... you have changed my world
Its been amazing to watch your talent grow from childhood to now an accomplished young man. Thank you Sungha Jung for sharing your beautiful gift with us. You are an inspiration!

No it's never this is just entry level...watch Chet Atkins real guitar god
No it's never this is just entry level...watch Chet Atkins real guitar god

Akihiro Tanaka's blues is so mature. Both are exceptional talents.
This is one of the best things on the Internet. I found it 2 years ago and I still feel the same way. First class!

Tottaly agree!
Dont brag about talent, being gifted..dude he's been playing the guitar since he was a kid..so what you've been doing when you were a kid eh? XD
Playing FAR too many hours of computer games. I picked up the guitar around 10 months ago. I have a LOT of work to reach these guys' level, but I'm thankful to them and others for inspiring me and showing me what's possible. I hope it fires you up too.

Awesome harmonies guys, great job on the composing! It's also nice to see how much fun you two have while playing. :)

Woof Woofer What are you smoking? I want some:-)

This is one of the truly great guitar duo performances. Right up there with the classical Williams/Bream pieces.
I rewatched this so many times. Also kind of cool to know that they have been playing together since Sungha was young. Incredible synergy. 진짜 잘했어요 둘다! 나도 그렇게 치고싶다 ㅠㅠ
Best rendition yet that I've heard! Great! Thank you for sharing your talents
This kid is born to do that! Man he would be one of the greatest to ever play the instrument if he continues his work and brings it to even higher levels. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR HIM! Keep it up, Sungha Jung!
It just doesn't get any better than this. Awesome!
I can see how great it is to have Sungha as a friend. He'll talk using his guitar.
Sungha and Aki are best buds for sure. I've seen them perform live together and it is the same magic or more. One of those times when 2+2+10.
As a lifelong guitar player, there is such joy listening to this,thank you both

See，Sungha was so happy when he played the guitar with Akihiro Tanaka :)
You are the real best friends ! Love this combination so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
simply amazing performance. Tanaka's technique and groove is out of this world
最高です。
お二人とも音が太いので聞いていて凄く気持ちいいです。
自分もソロギターを弾くので非常に勉強になります。
アレンジのセンスもめっちゃ格好良いです。
This is my thirtieth or something youtube clip of Sungha that I have watched just for today. feel like I can listen to his guitar forever ever and ever...
This video is awesome. I've seen this video again and again. All the time, they are so great. Love you guys, from Japan!!!
one of best performances I ever seen like ever . . . . .sungha jung and him feel off of each other they need to get together and stick together
This is my favorite video ever.
Smooth as silk. Shiny as gold. So much soul.
They killed it!!!!!! Amazing.
incredible congratulations Sungha Jung and Akihiro Tanaka
Excelente trabajo amigos !! Los felicito.
. Saludos desde. Venezuela !!!
GREAT PLEASURE with SUNGHA § AKIHIRO duet . They show the perfect way two guitars can play .
As much as I love RUclips for discovering great talents such as these artists, it's a struggle to remain optimistic about the world we live in when I see over 200 thumb-downs and negative comments. Sungha Jung and Akihiro Tanaka will change the world (for the better) with their music.
Oh my... My ears will never be the same, breathtaking performance!
so cool, complementary toned guitars....really well recorded, good times
Best guitar duet ever.
Is there still a song that Sungha Jung can find challenging to play? Seriously.... He's really a genius.
Or he actually just practices a lot? I bet that if you would have the experience he gained during his life you would play (definitely diffrent) perhaps almost as good, better or somewhat worse. His quality might be deterrence or something else, but maybe he really is a 'genius'? Don't judge too quickly and just enjoy :) I'm not sure why you commented tha,t but I doubt it is enjoyable to read for anyone, nor is my comment to you.
Shut up, hater.
Beautiful! I just wanna wake up tomorrow to change the world ~
めっちゃかっこいいですやん
this is so beautiful...i hope Sungha and Akihiro would collaborate once again and do Earl Klugh's "Dance with Me"...wish wish wish
This one, i guess i will remember for the rest of my life
So beautiful! The best thing I ever heard in my life!
can't find the right words.... just amazing
wow! they're like talking each other! awestruck!
wow, no words needed to describe this!
Manuel Fit i thing so too!
Thanks Mr Jung for share all of this free. Be safe, healthy and happy.
Gorgeous!
Sungha, your playing is just speechless. Your supporting backup on Tanaka's favorite song, Change the world is just amazing!!.
THIS is what pure joy looks like. Great job, guys...(!).
Watching them together smiling and getting so into the music makes me so happy :) They have more than just skill, they have passion for the music.
This video is full of satisfaction
Great adaptation and interpretation, great sounding guitars, rather modern and trebly sounding guitar but also very sparkling and modern. I love it.
I think they're talking using guitars. That's cool
Excellent way of putting it!
I agreed well put, just like that eyelash
I re-watched this for like 20 times in a row, and I still can't get enough.
People who say that he's a robot or that he plays without feeling should see this. How is this playing without feeling? :P He's obviously enjoying it. Just because he tends to be more restrained when under public scrutiny doesn't mean that he doesn't love playing the guitar any less.
There is Eric Clapton's change the world and there is this, period.
this makes me so happy!
you know what there's still lacking...though you refresh me today...great
It is an amazing performer with two people.
Amazing!!!
Really good ! I'm sure Eric would love it , he's humble guy and sees quality right away !
It's fantastic sound! Healing my ear ^^
After watching their newest duet, come back and watch this..... Still impressed as usual
in my dreams, I play like that. unreal stuff.
the ending is just too cute...sharing the same love over music and guitar...
What did Eric Clapton have to say about this?
YOUR SO AWESOME.............. SUNGHA JUNG
he's genius dude, its impossible for a kid to gain those notes in his memory...
Absolutely perfect with fine expression.
I need to go practice
I think Eric himself would be floored by this rendition, beautiful! Thank you for sharing your music with the world.
This video is summed up in one word: Perfection
These guys look really happy while performing together. This makes me smile, too. Hundreds of thumbs up, if able
Nice
These two kinda remind me of Depapepe =)
Can't stop watching the fun they have it's fabulous to see and for the soul. Great guitar players.
Silver wings change the world!
uhhhhh!!! very nice.....I'm learning guitar and every time I see or see more playing touch someone give me more desire to continue learning to play guitar!!!!
What's the unlikes all about?
Their just jealous that two types of different languages can come together and make beautiful music lol
most likely they were upside down so they mistook it
Why can't people just accept that musical taste is unique for each person... Yes, there are people who listened to this and didn't like it. Accept it and move on, they have different opinion, that's normal.
Just because I was pretty much stunned by this song and insta-liked it, it doesn't mean everybody has to have it same way.
They thought they're gonna sing.. like i did wait until the mid of the video. Lol
They Jelly
just puts a smile on your face. what talent. so glad we have people like this in the world.
Japanese Bro's Jung &Tanaka. Awesome!!!
Just saying but sungha is Korean
Awesome! This is one of my favorite songs. And this is the best rendition of the song I've heard. Can't stop listening.
This was awesome. Eric who :)
Old comment I know, Eric Clapton is one of his biggest influences and idols. Please pay respect to the greats who paved the way. Also, Eric Clapton did not write the guitar for this song. Fact.
did anyone else just smile all the way through this??as of today im not making anymore music videos on you tube after watching these bloody geniuses !!
What was the Clapton's reaction?
Jawdropped, was last seen going into his practice room.
Shaking his head, muttering...
He uses Rumba Flamenca techniques also such as Rasgueados and Rumba basics! Wonderful ! Great cover !
Ok...slow this down and look carefully...pretty sure you'll see 2 guys...4 eyes, 2 noses, 2 mouths, 2 guitars...and 37 fingers.
words just dont do you justice.... simply amazing in every way the harmony was something else.... in the past hour of listening to you... you have changed my world
Really! 99 dislikes? Who's the wise guy!
Sooo worth watching, just wait for it. Love ya all.
Korean x Japananse = beautiful.
Why do you have to hate each other's gut when together you could make something like this XD
History.
+Thanh Nguyen Because we play like shit. :)
ICSU_DuckySquash what does that mean? do you refer to this song?
+Thanh Nguyen You asked why hate when we make something like this, Well , we can't ;)
ICSU_DuckySquash LOL That answer was completely off topic but yeah, I'm jealous too. 😂😂
Watching these guys playing brought a smile to my face.
Thanks, guys.
You just made my day.
Asian level!
Its been amazing to watch your talent grow from childhood to now an accomplished young man. Thank you Sungha Jung for sharing your beautiful gift with us. You are an inspiration!
117 people have bad aim with their mouse cursor
KoomKoomz 220 people are upside down... or an emperor.
Lol
Maybe they read it as "Dis I Like"
So, I keep listening with Joy,and a Huge Smile.....Thank you Thank You Thank You 🙏🙏🎵🎵🙀
you guys are way off....that was a maestro performance!
I'd give anything to jam like this with Sungha ! He's the reason why i started playing guitar :)
楽しんで演奏するってこーゆーことね。
Just makes a person smile while they're playing. It's like they're playing a game that they both win. Spectacular :)
2:53 this is where sungha jung turns into ultra instinct
Incredible! Unbelievable! Awesome!
3:01 is my favorite part
Haha me too, there's something about that progression, he also does it at 1:58
Tastes sweet!!
