Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the next Jimi Hendrix…well in about 10 years or so. Actually, the dude RIGHT NOW is so good I am frightened to think how good he’ll be when he IS 21. Yeah, you heard right, the kid is 11.
His name is Sungha Jung and he’s from South Korea and we’ll be damned if the kid can’t groove. It’s funny because you see a lot of little kids playing some form of musical instrument on YouTube and most of the REALLY good ones look like they are just playing verbatim from memory. No emotion, no style, no grace and no groove. This little kid grooves and you can tell he’s feeling it.
Now you should all go check out his other amazing covers. I am particularly fond of his rendetion of U2’s “With or Without You.” Rock on Sungha Jung….we’ll keep watching.
