[@Impalaman1968]

Man.....as a guitarist myself, I cannot do anything but marvel at the skill and precision that this young lady posesses. Glad to hear that she's pursuing a higher level of education, but at the same time. ...there's so much raw talent here that should not be tossed aside. This girl needs to be onstage sharing her gift with the whole world. She'd be a perfect fit in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a perfect marriage of classical and metal. Which, IMHO, are truly one and the same. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Paganini were the first metal musicians, they just did it on the piano instead of the guitar.

[@slayerem]

@@Impalaman1968 she had a good time on youtube as her stage, I don't know of any concerts of hers but there are youtube videos of widely known guitarists reacting to her playing their songs... the guitarist from Dragonforce (Lee) watching her play through the fire... or Steve Vai watching her play For the love of God. She's close to 1 million subscribers on her youtube account and she hasn't released anything in 3 or 4 years... not bat I'd say.

She gave it up????????? Woman rocks! I can barely play the "Smoke on the Water" riff lol. Excellent!

[@stokerboiler]

Listen to it... she is playing it at the tempo called out by Ludwig Van himself - "presto agitato" which is about 255 beats per minute. The Sonata was written for piano. He was the flat-out best pianist of his day. Not more than a couple dozen people in the world can play this brutally difficult piece at that tempo. And she makes it look easy.

[@stevious7278]

[@Biomirth]

No, no. No No. Looking is something you get over fairly early on on any instrument. Things move far too quickly for visual feedback. Anyone who can't play in a pitch black room hasn't spent enough time to be a journeyman, let alone master-level playing, on any instrument. You don't try to do this it just comes as a side effect of playing the heck out of something for long enough. And there a plenty of 'journeyman' players who are terrible musicians so it is definitely not any measure of quality. Please, meet a musician, we don't bite, or not a lot!

[@rogerjenkinson7979]

And the 3rd, 7th, 9th, all the symphonies in fact, and sonatas, concertos, etc, etc, etc. And he ended up totally deaf. He couldn't play the piano anymore. But he could still play inside his head and he wrote it all down for us to enjoy. Hail LvB and all those who are skilled and dedicated enough to bring his music to life. And Hail Tina S. This is difficult enough on the piano. Insane for a guitar.

[@mikesheahan6906]

I hope he was still able to hear when he wrote that one, because it was a real treat.

[@annb9422]

Beethoven wasn't deaf at this time, although he was begninning to experience some of the early symptoms of the condition which would later lead to his deafness 🎹🎼🎵🎶🎶

[@IONATVS]

Beethoven’s most famous piano sonatas are from his early-mid career, before his deafness had set in. And the piano was his instrument, so he played most of those Sonatas live to Viennese audiences back in the day. And had a reputation for playing loud-with enough force in his fingers to break lower-end pianos of his day.

[@belindascott2747]

He laid his head on the piano to feel the vibrations. Amazing

She just focuses and practices until muscle memory takes over. That's lots of work even with her skill(s). Rumor is she hung it up when she went to college to concentrate on her studies. Also, some say the trolls got to her. When she quit, she wiped her channel. Folks cried so much she brought back some of the clips and that is the way it has been for 4 years now.

To answer some of your questions: She holds that guitar like a classical guitar player, because that is where she started before she switched to electric. That arrangement of Beethoven's a 3rd movement of the Moonlight Sonata was originally by Dr. Vlossy, so technically this is a cover. The S. stands for her last name, Setkic.
