Is she truly the best there ever was?

[@ericsicard910]

Your reaction was really one of the best and the most insightful! Kudo to you! You won a new subscriber! This is my favorite of hers, just before From the Love of God. Jason Becker sent his followers a tweet ( or had someone to tweet it on his behalf) the day after this was posted and said “16 year old Tina S does a great cover of my song Altitudes”. And he texted her directly “Wonderful playing, Tina! Thank you so much! I am honored!”. This guy is an absolute legend and he wrote this and released it when he was 16 himself. Fyi Renaud Louis-Servais, the guitar teacher of Tina, who recorded this and all other Tina videos in his private studio, said that she was able to learn these masterpieces very quickly. It took her apparently only 8 weeks to learn the Moonlight Sonata while attending high school at the same time. Renaud is a french guitar hero himself and is a very famous teacher, for instance he was also the teacher of Daniela Villareal from The Warning.

Oh wow, this is incredible info thank you for sharing this with me :D I have seen on some of the other videos she even records in 1 take. Impressive to say the least. Can't wait do react to more Tina :D

[@BigBob473]

Watch her picking hand. Its just so dang smooth! She is so talented!

[@ericashmusic8889]

Love her !! who wouldn't in this field..absolutely awesome.!! Good constructive Overview with shrewd observations. Cool Dude... ( As an aside , this big bluesy Tunes are so reminiscent of Gary Moore & what he started. )

[@kevinmarch4259]

She’s the most gifted individual I’ve ever seen to pick up the guitar. Hopefully she’s having an amazing life and hope to see new videos some day.

[@tomten8663]

O yes she is without any doubt. She,s STUNNING.

[@hiawatha.g]

My favorite of Tina's youtube clips. It's such a gorgeous piece of music, and she does more than cover it, she infuses it with such emotion. Thanks for featuring Tina again. We can only hope she re-emerges one day, she is a priceless talent.

[@e.h.5849]

your commentary, analysis and musical knowledge is very much appreciated. You know your stuff.

[@vand3rhorst]

@@e.h.5849 thank you so much! That rly means a lot to me. 🙏

[@kevinmarch4259]

She’s back. Spin Twice is the name of her new band. Music soon to come. Facebook, instagram, TikTok

[@vand3rhorst]

Tina is the only person I would do reacts for in all honesty.

[@richardd3527]

Tina is back on track with a band ! Just got the news ! 🤗🤗🤗

[@vand3rhorst]

Oh my god! The stars have aligned that is incredible news!!!

[@Scott_Diverscott]

@@vand3rhorst Tina's band Spin Twice is releasing an album on September 1st, 2023. Not sure what genre it is going to be, but I know the guitar parts will be fire.

[@vand3rhorst]

@@Scott_Diverscott I ca t wait to react to it!

[@wrbowcalifyrobertson5087]

The first note I ever noticed she didnt hit perfect ever was at 7:41 and notice her reaction to it. She is amazing.

[@Stampalex]

One of the best and most intelligent reactions I've watched... Tina S is of course unbelievable (ENVY) and your insights are really very well considered and on point. Subscribed.

[@Stampalex]

@@NicoleSmith-xg1cf His reaction is --- Can't comment on his general intelligence like you apparently can...

[@davethiboutot]

The best that ever was and is still now.

[@hannuhedman5882]

I love her ability to clearly but smoothly change the mood between the different parts of the song. It really makes that song alive.

[@ralphdionne1330]

She's a Guitar goddess! Never heard anything like it. Absolutely amazing.

[@ElectricWorld9]

Love u man. Still miss these reactions and in general these type of videos with you in it. Cheers!

[@vand3rhorst]

Thanks brother! I miss doing these and plan to get back to recording/posting very soon. I work systems maintenance now for a cable/internet company and I go on-call so it's been hard to find the energy/time to get back to content creation but I am going to return soon!

[@DaveSVT-rn4of]

She is a prodigy.

[@Dragon49Master]

Finally someone who doesn't just "react" to a video, but adds pertinent, insightful analysis, music theory, as well as some fascinating facts and trivia! And all in a fun and upbeat style, also. Well done, sir and keep up the great reactions. There is a LOT of incredible music by underappreciated and unsung artists and "amateurs" on YT that need to be shared more widely with a greater audience.

[@vand3rhorst]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind words and will continue to make more videos. It’s been hard to record lately as I am working on the closing for my house I will be back to recording full time soon!

[@wesleyb1458]

wow she is incredible thats impressive

[@jjack2780]

Tina cover of “ for the love of god “ shows why she is considered one of the best at a young age. Her use of the whammy bar and timing r impeccable.

[@qw49]

Tina please 🙏 come back and play the guitar 🎸 for te World 🌎 you are so gifted please share it with the world 🌎 😂

[@davidyerkey7425]

She's back! She just updated her Facebook page last week... looks like she might be in or starting a band 🤘

[@LogioTek]

Jason was Tina's age in that video when he composed it. That's the crazy part. And that's not even his craziest teenage shred composition, that honor belongs to 'Mabel's Fatal Fable' which is about a superhero named Mabel, it's practically inimitable, there isn't a complete cover available that does it justice but closest partial cover one that captures the essence is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX7SpIhvdtZ4esk

[@davidstevenson3295]

Just watched her do" moonlight sonata( third movement) yes betovan. You won't believe it!

[@jimskinner8243]

Tina is back.

[@johnhawkins_twa]

This is also #2 of my favorites with For the Love of God being #1. They both require feel and emotion plus speed and technical precision to get correct. This song in particular can sound like a train wreck if you're missing the feel and emotion and Tina nails it. If I remember correctly, Jason Becker sent Tina a tweet congratulating her when this first came out. Thanks for continuing to introduce Tina to new listeners.

[@jjack2780]

Her harmonics r insane

[@johnswimcat]

I haven't seen better. To me Tina has a very rare quality, she is a master musician. That's not something you can attain, it's something you're born with. I would say the same of Jimi Hendrix, Amy Winehouse, George Ezra, Jessye Norman and Jennifer Pike

[@arye52]

❤

[@franckyf4874]

Of all Tina's covers, this is my favorite. She gives so much of herself that her guitar cries.

[@TheChzoronzon]

my 2º fav from her after Vai

[@blizzle193]

Nice video bro I like all her covers man check all of them out....... Another good person to check out I don't know if you've ever heard of her is Daniela Andrade..... She does a cover of Radiohead creep that is out of sight

[@vand3rhorst]

Sweet, I am always looking for new people to react to and be amazed haha. Thanks man :D

[@davidburns7085]

She studied Classical Guitar at a young age. Around 8 years old. Check out "8 years of practicing guitar ". Shows her at a young age through time of these videos. She said in an interview that she had just begun to learn guitar.

[@BennoWitter]

There is a video of her practicing her sweeps kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmfFpImYfcx8pbc

[@vand3rhorst]

Sweeeeet, I just recorded the 8 years of practice video last night!

[@michaelsmith9544]

You seem to really enjoy seeing great guitar players as do I. Please react to Jerry C doing Alien Walker. Video is kind of dark but the playing is fantastic. Just Jerry sitting on a bed rocking out. Jerry C did canon rock but this song is better.

[@THSeaNotes]

At the time of this recording, Tina quite possibly had somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 hours of practice under her belt. It is a guess but 6-8 hours a day is probably what it takes to be that good. So I ask you, for someone to invest that much time into something, is it possible or even conceivable that they could just walk away from it all? I am 64. I would love to see her play just once before I die. Love your passion. Keep it up!

[@ronhublimo5220]

Absolutely incredible!! The sound of her guitar,, Wow! Her speed! Better than Becker.

[@Jota666]

no

[@Jota666]

how can it even cross your mind to say that it is better than becker, you are sick, he plays it well, but as becker not even being born 100 times
