(Mason Williams) Classical Gas - Sungha Jung

[@melissadeatonmusic1]

His talent gave me chills. You can't take away the fact that he is amazing, regardless of whether you like his style or not.

[@Human_Kebab]

Why is it that every time I'm struggling to learn a song I find this kid waiting there, taunting me?

[@jimd6641]

+mikedspud It's a gift from God, and most of us will never reach his level, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it - keep playing, Spud!!!

[@jimf4022]

+Mygaffer Sorry, the kid is amazing and I hope he goes on to great things because he should; but I am still opting for the slushies and the girlfriend (maybe not Adventure Time though). After living my life, those things are important too.

[@jeffengee2000]

Sweet JESUS! This is one incredibly talented young man. He's playing it a bit fast, tempo and a half almost, but he DOES nail it. Most impressive.

@Joe Bidin oh fuck its united states president joe biden on "(Mason Williams) Classical Gas - Sungha Jung" published 2010

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIlllIl]

its more fun to play it fast

[@davealexander8527]

What a gift it is to play any musical instrument. I still have the original 45 of the Mason Williams version. This young man plays it so well; a real joy to watch and listen. Well done. Proud parents he must surely have.

[@groovy_9633]

NOW DO CLASSICAL GAS

What is this meme I've seen this comment on 3 videos so far

The Simpsons. Lol

[@micahthomas7699]

😁😁😁

[@titanium9000]

How can people actually dislike this performance? And I don't think he needs critiquing. I'm quite sure he's more than capable of playing this at any and all speeds. If Sungha had written this piece, there wouldn't be a single dislike. This is stellar..:))

[@halo1of1the1sun]

Haters are so funny. I guess they don't like people that are way more awesome then them. He will never be like Tommy Emmanuel? Isnt he almost 60? The kid has time to get as good, but why even compare? Because he plays classical gas here? Give me a break. You are the emotionless people here

[@FishingWithWilso]

Its not even tommy's song...

[@melvintherobot]

It’s the internet chill out

[@cecedille4174]

I prefer this version to Tommy Emmanuel tbh

[@nahumcarias6127]

@@cecedille4174 most don't, Tommy's is more fun and even more relaxing

[@promitroy95]

@@cecedille4174 Tommy's performance has so much more energy, don't compare that to this. Since you brought that in, then this one sounds a little too mechanical.

[@GoPenGo]

I remember when I first found this video. I still comeback to watch and listen. It's incredible

[@SwordofAslan]

Practically perfect! And I love watching your skill here. Well done, young man! WELL done!

[@tomato88ish]

Why is everyone comparing , saying its too this or its should be done like that, just enjoy it for what it is, a young player, playing it his way, and doing a great job of a song that can be done a 1000 ways or more, well done!!

[@MrHeLLHoRZeGaming]

This is just awesome, you have such talent! I really wish I could play the guitar!

[@lukefromdownunder]

can't believe I just played along with this kid... only for one minute because that's as much of the song as I know but still... i'm amazed

[@99Jaapie]

So many negative comments.....why? He is good and very very precise - doesn't make him a robot at all. You want robot music listen to the dance crap they are smashing out of machines - this guy is actually playing an instrument - nice in today's electronic world I think!!

[@cindyp5703]

Wonderful!!! He is a blessing to all human kind! What a great musician......he brings joy and happiness to me!

[@4c00h]

It's great to get input from so many experts, I wasn't aware there were that many

[@bns9915]

Let's put it this way...I have been playing this tune for about 30 years now...and this is one of the cleanest versions I have ever heard! Most people (Emanuel) really hurry this piece along...but this kid plays it right at the pace it can be pushed to and oh so smooth! Just perfection in motion 👍

[@ChrisDarby80]

For those comparing to the Tommy Emmanuel version, He's playing the original Mason Williams version, which is a different arrangement and is played much much slower than the Tommy Emmanuel version, and even saying that, he's playing the Mason version a tad faster than its originally played in parts.

[@jefferyfarr6542]

A few more years and the emotions in this song will come out of him. He is terrific and a little fast. But with more heart ache in his life he will slow down and show the true emotion of this piece. I wish only the best for him and his music.

[@Maxwell1815]

No matter how "robotic" this may sound, you still can't overlook how good of a player he is. Amazing!

[@fawn999]

wow!!!!!!!!! this young man is fabulous!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!

[@cavemanzach9475]

God damn, everywhere I go there is someone bitching about something. This cover was phenomenal. This song, to me, has a skeleton, but the beauty of it is that everyone who plays it has their own way of doing it. Him playing at a different tempo with a capo is HIS way of doing it. Tommy Emmanual has HIS very improvised way of doing it. Everyone does it different and it always sounds amazing. Leave the kid alone because I'm going to assume that roughly 80% of the people complaining about it can't play anything.

[@jellan712]

+Zachary Lancaster OH MAN YOU SAID IT.Im with you on this.Tommy's one is much better I feel...but Sungha's twist is no less magnificent

[@cagolan]

+Zachary Lancaster Say it like it is man ! So true ! So many amazing verions of this song about ! This rendition is really technically amazing if you consider your average guitar player can only just about play it normal tempo !

[@savvy169]

Zachary Lancaster word

[@Eckyhade]

You can read my mind? LOL

[@hypoxic2]

Why are you criticizing someone so young for not having feeling? His world is just starting, For someone his age he has shown determination and dedication to learn a piece like that and play it technically perfect.

[@alangriff1]

I didn't find it painful at all. Sure it's not the same tempo as the original but boy this kid is talented. He's got a great future.

[@gregoryjimijames8640]

Excellent Played Keep bringing music to the world.

[@minkyupark1980]

Many people said that Sungha Jung's playing lacks emotion, but I don't agree with it. He may not know how to express his emotion on his face, but it does not mean he doesn't have emotion. I respect all the times to his enthusiasm on playing the guitar!

[@henrycodm896]

Love the hammer on in the last chord. I understand why he's using the capo now, he's lessening the booming sound of the bass which can be a little strong sometimes in this song, and doing more of a Dust in the Wind version, quite nicely. However, near the end he does lose that indigenous flamenco flair that makes this song great and unique. Love him, though.

[@paosxothor]

I`m listening to it one time after another and its still great

[@Povie77]

I actually prefer this to the original, Awesome job man!

[@greese007]

Really a nice, clean rendition. Whether or not he is a "natural" talent, or just practices a lot. I've played for over 50 years, and still can't do that.

[@amazonaochrocephala5491]

This "emotionless" virtuoso can certainly bring resentment, anger and envy out of some of these commentators.

[@dinocro111]

It's true though: It's like he doesn't even enjoy playing it. Completely emotionless like a robot. When I play this it's completley different. You're supposed to play music with feeling not like a machine just showing off it's skills.

[@duct.q.4402]

Dino some people cant express feelings by moving their facial muscles very well. I struggle expressing my emotions into words. Doesnt mean those ppl dont feel anything. Please dont judge my english. Its obviously not my first language.

Now do classical gas!

[@AaronBasch]

Now do classical gas!

[@Neithan]

Omg., after watching this., I realized they were right in saying heart is what makes a musical piece awesome and touching... I previously watched Toby Turner's cover of classical gas.. it wasn't as fast and as 'superior' as this one, but I felt and enjoyed it better than this... but still awesome job sungha, i won't be able to do what you just did even if I take forever to learn it.,

[@freebee8221]

this little son of a bitch must be mozart reborn.i mean he's a genius.i'm tring to play this myself and as a fellow guitarist,i can say it's not easy

Check him out playing Pirates of the Carribean at the age of about 5 or 6. Mindblowing.

Apart from Mason Williams himself this has to about the best guitar version of Classical Gas I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing your talent 😊.

[@jax2442]

He played it a little too fast. All the nites sounded rushed. Great technical skill though. This kid has really refined his skills today. Keep in mind he was still a child when he made this video...and already a great guitar player.

[@myinboxes]

Sooo amazing. Thank you for sharing Sungha. I feel like I know you just from your music,

tough song to play...you need work on this one

[@LemmingGuide]

I can't shut my mouth while watching this KID playing such a song!

[@glitchfan]

Dude is beyond talented. But this was just too fast. Speed does not always equal impressiveness. Sometimes slower is better. Relax a bit and then do it again. I think it'll sound much better.

[@renewd]

Beautifully crisp

[@jonathonmcrae5671]

why so fast? you should enjoy the fingerstyle and slow it down, TOO FAST, but great player

[@missyjonce5753]

+Jonathon McRae where can we all review your rendition at the 'right' pace?

[@Signy8]

Missy & Jonce Great comment. Made me smile. Everyone else being so negative is such a drag on this guys talent. (Sorry for commenting on your comment from 2 years ago.)

[@Antilles107]

Sungha Jung strikes me as a great musician who is - not yet - a *performer*. He's playing the song to do something beautiful without too much thought of an audience. It's on multiple viewings of the clip, for me, that his passion increasingly shines through. As for the tempo, I sympathize with some who may simply be accustomed to hearing the song slower, and it's absolutely true that faster is not *always* better, but I think this interpretation is wonderful. Just my humble opinion.

[@schnigg5000]

way too fast, and he doesnt get the feeling of this song at all!

[@savvy169]

schnigg5000 just shut up 😑

[@italianwaffle5592]

[@XbellydanceloverX]
