There are no words to describe how amazingly talented you are.

[@iSlicer]

I enjoy coming back here from time to time and hearing a talented musician. Of course this young man has talent, but behind that talent is hours and hours and hours of practice. So many of us long to be good at something, but not many are willing to put in the dedication. Thank you for the music.

[@hanniealimangaro9765]

5 years ago this man inspire me to play hard with guitar until I learn some instruments and some musical thing. Sad to say after 3 years of playing since I heard sungha I stopped because my guitar got broken and never play anymore. I only listen to some music and just feels the harmony and imagining I'm playing some instruments. I still don't stop learning some songs but I just don't have the instrument. I'm just really proud that just in my mind I still learn some musical things like how the harmony plays etc. I just don't have the skills because having no instruments. He is my first ever inspiration and dedication to achieve what I really want to do. Thank you Sungha Jung! I know I'm not the only one you inspire for this music. Many of us around the world. You're still my Idol since I know you. Thank you so much

[@elbeefo748]

Its amazing how it sounds like your guitar is singing the song.

[@SOUNDsculptures]

Had this song in my head all day, so came here looking for a guitar version. What a talent you have, not just for technical ability (amazing) but for compositional arrangement (incredible) and then you go and combine it with just the right energy. It's a party of three in your hands!

[@yashshritare1950]

[@jamcatkearney8661]

The beautiful sounds that can be made with a guitar and we just need more people like you to release them and bring joy and inspiration to everyone

[@carecareluvskhj]

I tend to listen to instrumentals when I study (just cuz if the music I listen has lyrics, I sing along and get distracted...) SO I mistakenly thought that listening to Jung Sungha would help me focus...but I can't help but hear the lyrics of the song when he plays!

I never used to think I can play any fingerstylement ! but cause of him I know 2 atleast ( I plating guitar only from 5-6months) one is say something arranged by Gareth second is thousand year arranged by this fellow sungha Jung
