I’m most impressed by his sense of time. He’s keeping almost perfect time here with no backing track or metronome. With a slower song like this it can be tough.
@@bluplr Maybe but it will be a bit weird to do it for just this video as he does not do it for his live concerts. The tapping helps keep time. It's pretty common in a lot of different styles of guitar playing.
It’s actually pretty easy with practice , i’ve been an varsity band and college level classical guitar and basically you just tap your foot. You could also tap your sting which is what he’s doing and it makes it impossible to get off tempo as long as you can tap with the tempo constantly.
This is brilliant, Sungha. Been listening for 12 years now and I'm never disappointed in your music. I look forward to another vocal cover. Please never stop playing. I'm such a big fan from the U.S. Got to see you play live a few years ago. It's one of the best memories of my life! And I'm almost 60.
I'm not in the same situation as you are, watch only couples of video of him, back then and now but I'm must say this is a very touching comment. Simple, honest and so sweet. Good to see those kind words sometimes in a while. Have a wonderful week.
By saying this, you truly have low musical standards. The kid has skills but I'm afraid I can't call this talent. His guitar skills are okay, but not extraordinary.
I've grown up with Sungha, I started watching him when I was like 13 years old, and honestly, as I've gotten older I've realized more and more the difficulty, the technicality, and the nuances of his guitar playing, and one can't just help to appreciate him more.
Same here and first time was introduced by mu guitar instructor, he played his River Flows in You video on the projector in class and till now my guitar skills can't seem to ever catch up with him
If that's where your head's really at wait to you see the rest of this man's stuff and prepare to be hecken discouraged. However if you love this cover try out you're own adaptation of it 🙃 . Everyone plays differently and that is a good thing for without variety ,covers themselves would not exist.
Damn, I had forgotten about you. 7 years ago I used to watch all your videos. Today I got lucky when you came up in recommended. Awesome to see how much you’ve grown!
Very few ever master any instrument to this level of virtuosity, let alone so young. If this is not genius, I do not know what is. I always love watching Sungha play!!!
Dynamics in the pre chorus are arguably the most impressive thing in this video. Great playing. As a finger style jazz player I know that feeling is second nature to you by now, and as a listener, damn, it sounds good.
It's not a silly little moment It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath of This love that we've been working on Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's gonna come and save you We pulled too many false alarms We're going down And you can see it too We're going down And you know that we're doomed My dear We're slow dancing in a burning room I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me?

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS COVER!!! KNEW U WOULD COVER IT SOONER OR LATER ❤❤❤ THANK U SUNGHA FOR ANOTHER GREAT COVER AND INSPIRING ME EVEN MORE TO BE A BETTER GUITARIST ❤
incredible work Sungha! You must've trained really hard to be there where you are! One of my biggest dreams is to play the guitar on the same level as you do, but on my own way! :) eternal fan from Brazil! Wish you happiness and all the kinds of success!!! :D

Awsome'love how you add the singing melody with the rythem and stay in time perfectly'would love if you could do some srv covers' could you please do " lenny and little wing" also man on the side by john mayer would be awsome too.
I wonder why every guitar player makes cover to this song last time, this cover is really good, but if you (someone) know about russian guitarist- Eiro Nareth , watch his cover and you'll receive full acoustic power )))
First Video I saw this kid he was playing More Than Words on an acoustic bigger than him. I flipped seeing him carrying something other than an acoustic.
Robin Criollo look up fingerstyle guitar cover and I bet nearly all of them will be acoustic. fingerstyle with percussion bass etc on electric is pretty hard come by, but I do love when I find some
@@lukeonn Oh ... covers you meant? I mean, I guess that's true, but I was talking about playing fingerstyle on an electric guitar in general. Lots of that has been done, on tons of songs in the past.
Nowadays artists can't even play a song and upload Everything gets claimed by the big corporations. Even this one. How beautiful he played it but corporations take the money away.
This cover is RARE. Coz, 1. Sungha Jung actually smiled while playing it and 2. I just realised, all this time, so many subbed him without him asking for it like he did for the first time at the end of the video !!!
![Can I learn Playing God on violin in only 30 minutes? [Polyphia 🎸]](/img/1.gif)
I remember seeing this kid when a guitar was bigger than him, now he’s all grown up.
That's how people work
your mom Ok thnx
so true
Man I was thinking the same thing. Time goes by too fast.
Same
I’m most impressed by his sense of time. He’s keeping almost perfect time here with no backing track or metronome. With a slower song like this it can be tough.
I imagine he recorded the audio wearing headphones with a metronome or backing track
yeah his fingers don't match the audio
@@bluplr Maybe but it will be a bit weird to do it for just this video as he does not do it for his live concerts. The tapping helps keep time. It's pretty common in a lot of different styles of guitar playing.
He has been doing this for a long time. Prodigies like them always seem to have an inner clock when they are born lol

@@kumentongwlangdating better than most.
looks so relaxed and comfortable when playing it’s like effortless and natural to him
And us mortals are over here dealing with back pain while playing from our bad posture 😂
That's because it is
I've grown up with Sungha, I started watching him when I was like 13 years old, and honestly, as I've gotten older I've realized more and more the difficulty, the technicality, and the nuances of his guitar playing, and one can't just help to appreciate him more.
what, as a kid still you understand the nuances:/ I would hope you bloody play, and play well to bignote like that kid:/
Same here and first time was introduced by mu guitar instructor, he played his River Flows in You video on the projector in class and till now my guitar skills can't seem to ever catch up with him
It is so fascinating to hear Sungha Jung's style on a John Mayer's song ! Never expected that combination
This inspired me to sell my guitar
Never compare yourself to others and live a better life. Focus on your progress and be proud of yourself 😊
Always remember they we're a beginner too.
I can make a $ guitar sound like a $ guitar!
If that's where your head's really at wait to you see the rest of this man's stuff and prepare to be hecken discouraged. However if you love this cover try out you're own adaptation of it 🙃 . Everyone plays differently and that is a good thing for without variety ,covers themselves would not exist.
Imagine seeing someone do something and it inspiring you to quit, thats a pretty sad mindset bro
You managed to pull every important note of both the guitar and vocals into one beautiful arrangement. Extremely well done!
Hunter Widdoes.You're the fan of OOR, right?
Damn, I had forgotten about you. 7 years ago I used to watch all your videos. Today I got lucky when you came up in recommended. Awesome to see how much you’ve grown!
There's not a single person who doesn't make a guitar face playing slow dancing in the burning rooms solo. Super satisfying.
Please do Neon!
Abrapham Lincoln YESS PLEASEE
Been hoping to see it too before I die Sungha. Please. 🙏
agreed
Oh yes
+Sungha Jung
PLEASE DO IT
To those who are learning guitar:
Remember that, "You don't have to be great to start, you just have to start to be great."
I see you came from Rosé's😆🖤💗true
@@janciranig4208 Kekekeke...I was trying to sing but I sounded like a dying goat..so I'll just enjoy the cover
True
@@Nico-bp4ur Thanks for the motivation, really needed it!
I think that goes for everything
The little smirk at the end like "Yes I'm aware of how much I just crushed that" cracked me up. All time cover
3:30 anybody else notice that he added the extra part that John improvised in the "Where the Light Is" live performance?
It actually was Robbie McIntosh
honestly , that tour version is the only version I ever listen to - nothing will ever come close to it in terms of sheer perfection and emotion
@@shreebaniya6484 you're right mate
Alister Stalin try the rock in rio one too! That ones also awesome imo!
@@shreebaniya6484 Robbie McIntosh - what a player! Wish John and him would play together again someday.
Whenever he picks up one of his guitars, he plays it like the guitar is actually singing. Keep up the great covers and originals! 😉👍
OMG I love John Mayer ❤️ Genial! 🇨🇴🇨🇴
John Mayer is a arrogant ass hole
Love him too 🇨🇴
@Scott it's the truth if you know anything about him
matthew lee Guess you haven’t learned to separate the art from the artist. Do you hate your Dad too?
matthew lee his music is good so idc
That's gotta be one of the more beautiful fret boards I've ever seen
Not tryna be a smartass, but most prs guitars have a bird style fretboards
@@zanpetric4008 I'm a piano player :)
It’s a Paul Reed Smith trademark.
That's PRS for you
If I’m correct, it’s actually John Mayer’s signature guitar, licensed by PRS
One of the best versions on RUclips. Fabulous job! Love that PRS!
JOHN MAYER NEEDS TO SEE THIS...
Could listen to 2:30 - 2:47 on repeat for the rest of my life
I'm so stressed and this is like a chilling, raining morning. Thank you, and greetings from Colombia.
mapabu súper cierto!
Been watching since you were a small boy! Glad to have seen you grow your talent till now!!
Yih Jie Lee I’d reword that a bit mate
@@ashd501 lol enit! I read that thinking that's abit harsh on Sungha he's amazing
Perv
The tone is so smooth and his technique from acoustic to electric transfers beautifully! Listening to it all day 👌🏽😍
Very few ever master any instrument to this level of virtuosity, let alone so young. If this is not genius, I do not know what is. I always love watching Sungha play!!!
This is so epic, as soon i saw a sungha with an electric guitar for the first time, i knew it was my destiny to smash that like button
I think I don't need to say..
That
It's just
Extremely legendary..
john mayer should see this
Exactly what I was thinking.
I thought the same thing too.😊
@@이중성-l2i 뭔데 이건또
He definitely will
There are lots of much better covers that he needs to see first
If I were a rich man, I'll open a coffee shop where Sungha will play everyday.
John Silvestre you mean you will slowly kill his growth using money, just like Elvis play in Las Vegas until his deathbed?
@@elspitzwizard47 I dont think the way you do man. Mind your own problems.
I hope I could visit your coffee shop everyday! That would be awesome!
This is the best comment here
I think you said that in reverse : If you had a coffee shop where Sungha plays everyday, you would become a rich man.
Dynamics in the pre chorus are arguably the most impressive thing in this video. Great playing. As a finger style jazz player I know that feeling is second nature to you by now, and as a listener, damn, it sounds good.
Damn John should see this! Btw more electric guitar please, this one is gorgeous😍
I remember when Jason Mraz saw him and they played together. I'd love to see him Sungha and John play together. that would be so epic
CrazyGamerTV oh yeah i’d love that too!
Agree!!!
Love this! This is probably my favorite song from John Mayer. Well played, nice tone and what a gorgeous guitar 👌😎

Haha be careful with any sting song he will sue you and pay for his grandkids college
@@tomj7990 lmaooo facts though
Lucid dream = more views saddly
@@tomj7990 There's nothing wrong with suing to protect your work. Lucid Dreams is a good song but, sadly it's a rip off
up
Definitely, one of the better covers. A plus is no one else plays in the lower register as he does. Bravo!
Super tough to play the rhythm and lead at the same time. Insane🙌🏼

Me: Picks up my guitar after video.

This guitar had to go for a cigarrette after he was done.
My guitar had to do the same when I was done trying to mimic this...
Stolen comment 🙄🤮
Because the guitar is gonna miss his playing so much.
the guitar just came
My favorite guitarist playing my favorite Singer's songs...
That singer also happens to play guitar too :)
I am watching your Videos since you was 4 yrs old. You brillant!
Just spent an hour trying to learn this song. I'm never gonna be as good as this though 🤣 you're a god Sungha
Amazing arrangement and as always phenomenal guitar playing
I hope you make your cover available for purchase. Bravo 👏🏾
Yay, the electric guitar is back ! Love it !
This literally gave me a little bit of life
This is a master piece
Yass! Go Sunghaa
Love John Love this cover
He grew so fast :0
Keep going

Just discovered you. This was an absolutely beautiful arrangement. Many thanks from 🇺🇸
Inspireing. Great melodic version. ✌🏼👋🏼
This is nuts! Are thosr real hands?! You're brilliant. Maaaaaaan. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
YESSS!! You did end up covering this song!! And it was played beautifully
He has sooo many covers out yet I‘m always wondering if he‘s still able to play every single one of them without any preparation 😄
Ofc not , otherwise i owe you a dollar
this is the closest to the original, im crying right now because i realize people have the potential to do such beautiful things on youtube!!
Them finger slaps kick brosky awesome suace 😂😍🔥🔥🔥💗💞
This is the first time i like the original version the most from all the covers you`ve made, You are still a god tho!
I agree, still awesome. Listen to Jamie Herrison's cover of this song as well. Exact replica of the Where the Light is version.

It's nice to see Mr. Sungha Jung playing Electric Guitar. He can do more, I can feel it.
I actually didn't know the song hahaha. But it's good.

Stop this train and 😌more
This cover is RARE.
Coz,
1. Sungha Jung actually smiled while playing it and
2. I just realised, all this time, so many subbed him without him asking for it like he did for the first time at the end of the video !!!
Oh wow...i forgot about this guy. I remember first time seeing him when i was 19. Im 28 now. Glad he is Still producing.
