Ludwig van Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata ( 3rd Movement ) Tina S Cover Reaction!

[@cmad2268]

Yes she is fast but it's how clean she plays. Every note is hit to perfection. That's greatness.

[@TheBlaster54]

I believe that she was voted as and is considered as being the best female guitar shredder on the planet.

[@torbjorneriksson9304]

Note that doesn’t miss a note and the whole video is shot in ONE Take. No redoing, no fixing mistakes. She hardly looks at her guitar. Perfection is beautiful.

[@alexiserni1152]

As she once said she's working her songs like video games - muscular memory - no need to look at the guitar, the fingers know exactly what they have to do. An approach that previous generations can hardly understand. And of course hours and hours of work - every day!

[@freddiemac327]

I love how you said, " She must've been playing 20 years." She's 15 in this video from what I've read.

[@itoldyou7887]

17-18

[@johnhawkins_twa]

She's 17 in this video. She started playing classical guitar at the age of 6 in France. Since Eddie died she's my favorite guitarist. All her covers are amazing, but my next favorite is Steve Vai's 'For the Love of God'. She quit posting videos after this one and disappeared from social media. She's supposedly in college and we all hope she returns soon. She also puts her own style on her covers so they're rarely note for note, and you'll notice she rarely looks at the fret board. Hope you're now a member of her fan base and subscribe to her site.

[@TheTioute]

She has her own musical studio now near Paris , at Evry-Courcouronnes suburb of Paris...

[@renedavids6154]

For the love of God. Man, the way she did this. Even Steve Vai send her a compliment by Twitter.

[@markkettlewell7441]

It is virtuosity. They know exactly where they are and what to pick. At this level they are simply injecting their mood into the piece. This girl is truly amazing

[@markkettlewell7441]

She is amazing.

[@TheBlaster54]

Tina is a classically trained guitarist that rarely if ever gets mentioned when people are discussing who the best guitarists in the world are. It’s quite obvious that to achieve Tina’s skill level requires absolute dedication, the self discipline, sacrifices, and the commitment to the hours it takes to achieve her level of skill and mastery. IMO, every performance by her is a virtuoso one. She is highly respected by some of the best known guitarists in the world. It’s a shame that the world hasn’t seen her perform in years. I have no idea what happened to cause her to stop putting out videos of her jaw dropping performances. I hold out hope that one day we will get to see her perform again.

[@akersjon278]

This was an average of seven notes per second for six minutes straight, she didn't miss a single note...not one. 😎🎸

[@nanafish0402]

Right!?! 😊😮

[@juventus4214]

Her name is Tina Setkic.She's is knowing for playing very complicated arrangements and guitar solo's and hardly missing a note ever. Many experts saying that she is extremely talented and even better than some of "the established" ones.

not hardly missing a note. but actually NOT missing a note

Ive been playing guitar for 20 years and she was 17 when she did this, puts things into perspective:)What impressed me the most was her sweeps, completely flawless.

You are right, THIS IS INSANITY! I am pretty sure at one point during that performance some of the fingers on her left hand became detached and were operating independently of the rest of her hand. 😆 As amazing as her left hand is, I think her right hand is even better. The speed and precision of her picking is mind boggling!

Besides the few clips focusing on her earlier development as a guitarist, all the major covers Tina has put on KZbin, as I understand, were performed between the ages 13 to 17!

[@yvesbourrat8033]

There are good musicians, then there are those who have talent, there are virtuosos who master an instrument, a score, there are pridiges. and above those, there are those who are unclassifiable, of which Tina Setkit is a part just like Beethoven. The third movement of the Moonlight Sonata is a technical tornado that doesn't intimidate Tina Setkit! Her interpretation of "for the love of god" speaks volumes about her abilities as well as the message she wants to convey. Undoubtedly, it is a remarkable being also for her beliefs. Huge respect.

If Beethoven were alive it would be like,,, Damn girl you not only played my music you read my mind.

[@PatriceSerapiglia]

To make it the best guitar performance possible and get the best tone, or sound, Tina (in the blink of an eye) switches 7 times from the neck pickup to the bridge pickup and vice versa, in a very specific part of the 3rd movement. If you concentrate, you might see it or hear a very slight noticeable change of tone. God, how much more precise tone-wise can you get. Even the seasoned pros don’t have this level of «finesse ». On the vigier escalibur custom guitar, Tina’s guitar, the pickup switch has 5 positions and Tina has chosen the 2 very best one for your pure enjoyment.

[@Maxi-xw1jb]

Good reaction, thank you. Greetings from Ukraine)

[@rlawrence9838]

I think its just called "tapping" (that bit that you asked about): fingerstyle is an instrumental guitar version of a song where the usually sung notes are picked on the guitar aswell as the general chord progression behind it and all the fingers are used throughout pretty much...(then theres finger-picking which pretty much means non-plectrum picking patterns but it isn't about a song being soley instrumental or anything its just a way of playing)

There is no way to really know who started “tapping” on the fret of their guitar. It is a technique that has been in classical and flamenco guitar since at least the 1950s, if not before. Eddie VanHalen made it popular in the early 1980s thanks to MTV videos.

[@itomg]

@@0ParisFrance Maybe I'm still missing your point, but it reads as if you are downplaying this achievement. Sure a lot of musicians can play a variety of numbers without scores. However not so many are able to play this piece, with this high bpm, flawlessly. That a seventeen-year-old can do this IS a remarkable achievement. Even for a professional musician it's no shame not being able to play a piece like this flawlessly. As an example: Many professional piano players never dare to play Piano-concert number 2 of Sergej Rachmaninov. Why? Because of the complexity of the note patterns and the incredible speed at which they are supposed to be played. Building muscle memory is the only way to achieve that. And that is hard, really hard. I play an instrument myself and I have experienced how hard it can be. So that's why I understand the disbelieve of Highly Combustible. This is close to the limits of what people can do.
