Tina S BLOWS my mind on the guitar | Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement (Reaction!)

[@RScott-gj3pm]

“I’m a Christian. I’m not supposed to covet!” Best moment of the whole reaction! LoL!!!

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

She took her gift and talent seriously and simply worked at it. So keep your dreams alive, focus and get it done. You may not end up nearly as close to this because whatever your limits are, just accept and get it on with. Tina Setkic, French,born 7 April 1999. My personal number one guitarist. Thanks for choosing this cover. The last of her, recorded in 2016. Between 2012 and 2016, sixteen Tina S covers were recorded, all of them true masterpieces. Enjoy this lineup: 1. "Arpeggios from hell" - Ingwie, Malmsteen; 2. "The Loner" - Gary Moore; 3. "Through the Fire and Flames" - DragonForce with Herman Li; 4. "Altitudes" - Jason Becker; 5. "For the Love of God" - Steve Vai A nice reaction. Thanks.

Only on KZbin. Then disappeared for 7 years.

[@duke2651]

Ahem...I am an old, old hippie and this is my first time hearing this young lady play. Within 30 seconds I closed my eyes and as I listened the stage lights in my mind rose from the darkness and there stood Jimi Hendrix playing and slaying his guitar at Woodstock, 1969. Before you ask, no, it was not a flashback...well, maybe... :) Be well, Duke

[@timbrom]

Your expression says it all. I had a girlfriend who made it big as a concert pianist who told me this was the most difficult piece to master. And then a 17 year old absolutely kills it. Possibly the finest piece of musicianship I have ever seen.

[@deansouthwick1906]

@@timbrom Honestly, reactions like that are why I watch reaction videos. Like having a concert pianist watch this, or a guitarist - so much to learn, and sometimes their reactions to her brilliance is utter shock. It was the pianist who told us that this was flawless, and that she didn’t miss a note…and there are over 2400 of them.

[@nancyjohnson2070]

LOL!! Your face when she starts to play. I laughed!! Exactly how I would feel. I'll go back to my corner and cry!!😭😭😭

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Yeah, his initial reaction of being ashamed that it actually made him a little angry... pretty much all of us. And it wasn't her insane skills... it was the fact that she managed to look bored through most of it.

[@anessalyn1035]

I watch Tina S because she's simply fantastic. I sent you this one cause I know you enjoy a good guitarist, and I wanted to see your reaction. I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Tina's new group is Spin Twice, and only a few videos are posted since they haven't been around but a short time. I hope you show this to your wife, I think she will enjoy it.

[@gomezgomez2]

Tina S. is incredible. Your reactions were priceless--I laughed out loud. Keep posting, bud. I'm enjoying you discoveries.

Don’t know what was better watching her skill and musicianship OR seeing your reaction!. Amazing!

[@vernhoke7730]

I've probably got at least 100 of those 47 million views. I continue to be amazed every time I see it as this was one take. No cuts or edits. Her little smirk when she finished says it all..."nailed it!" Just want to see your expression as you watch.

[@leecowell8165]

That was cute. Yeah she IS a little cutie, isn't she?

[@ericsicard910]

Tina S broke the internet in her teenage time: elected best guitarist prodigy on YT several years in a row, praised by the greatests such as Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Herman Li, …. All her covers from that period are insane: I especially love Altitudes, For the Love of God, The Loner, Through the Fire and Flames, … Then after posting this video she disappeared for 7 years and only resurfaced last year. She is now in a band called Spin Twice, and composes the music of the band. Just a side note: her guitar teacher, Renaud Louis-Servais, is the man who recorded this and is very famous as a teacher ww. He did train for instance Dany Villareal from The Warning.

[@LonghopeBro-ju6jl]

I strongly recommend "Through the Fire and Flames".

[@hakan8997]

@@LonghopeBro-ju6jl Or Hermans reaction!

[@sonador777]

I had an opportunity to converse with Renaud last year, and of the topic of Tina came up. He said after that last video, he had zero contact with her after that video. It was like she disappeared.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

@@sonador777 I always assumed she went to college, or music school, or something, and was too busy to record for KZbin for a while. Happens to a lot of people around that age.

[@NicoleSmith-xg1cf]

@@sonador777 You didnt converse with anyone. Renaud pissed her off for some reason, she took his name off of all her videos. Renaud was obviously trying to use Tina to get students because he's a half rate player.

[@firemedic5100]

I loved your initial look as if to say, are you f**king kidding me? I'm sure I had the same look when I first saw this. I could have started playing guitar when I was born, and wouldn't be able to play this good almost 70 years later. Tina is very gifted, and I almost don't feel worthy to watch her play. Excellent reaction.

[@davidyerkey7425]

"For The Love Of God" is a Steve Vai cover that she does better than the original! You'll see her "feel" this one... PHENOMENAL!!!

[@leecowell8165]

I think my favorite is Dragon force's cover. She cranks out over a 2 minute riff there which has very defined repeated, incredibly fast note playing there where she doesn't miss a single note. I think that play gets to everyone that hears it. When I heard that I was thinking that they're ain't NOBODY on this rock that could do that, not even Herman Li.

[@tedlederer1643]

The look on Sebs face when he heard the first few notes was priceless.

[@tonys6421]

Such an excellent ( yet predictable! ) first time and genuine reaction to Tina S! I feel such a sense of pride and accomplishment when I watch her genius playing - I thoroughly enjoy watching new reactions to her and inevitably, the jaws drop, eyes widen, and speech is forgotten!😂 Next is: Through the Fire & Flames. All I can say is….wow. Just absolute unfreakin’ believably, wow.

[@deansouthwick1906]

Her “trick” on tapping with those “extra fingers” is that she tucks her pick away and frees up her digits enough tap until she transfers back. Another note: How clean and perfect are her pinch harmonics? Her hand strength is unreal. And this is a 6 minute song.

[@TwylaCastleschouldt]

That was AMAZING !! I loved it !

[@frankwaynefrank4081]

I can watch Tinas playing time and time again she is magical!

[@BrendaKruger-o5n]

Have never heard this before. This was incredible for someone so young. Thank you sebs.❤

[@Filboid2000]

Yes, I've seen this video quite a few times and I always get a charge out of first-timers' reaction to it - usually their jaws drop, hit the floor, rebound, and drop again - sort of like yours did. 😁 Not long ago, I watched another guitarist react to this and, after watching Tina S, he said he was seriously thinking about selling his guitars and finding something else to do. I mentioned in my comment to him: "Before you do, consider this: not everyone can be an Einstein or Da Vinci (or Tina S), but there's still plenty of room for physicists and artists (and guitar players). As the late great Vince Lombardi (head coach of the Green Bay Packers many, many moons ago) once said: “Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.” Don't let Tina S's excellence deter you from chasing perfection. On a scale of one to ten, Tina S. is easily an eleven or twelve, but it didn't just fall out of the sky and land on her; between a certain amount of born talent and relentlessly practicing, that's what makes her one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. The story I gathered is that she practiced this piece for two solid months, and it shows - she rarely looks at her fingers or the fret board because she has acquired the muscle memory through so much practicing - she KNOWS where her fingers need to be.

[@DonHall-w3l]

I've seen this dozens of times, still blows me away!

[@Oliverdobbins]

2:21 Dude! The look on your face after you said “don’t make me feel bad” and then 2.6 seconds into the video 😱😩 🤣

[@JimiBurleigh]

The reason I watch, even though I know the song or video or even if I don't, is that I genuinely enjoy your reactions to the music that has been the soundtrack to my life and times 🤘 As the father of daughters, I totally understand. They grew up hearing me play guitar almost every day when they were growing up. What I will say to you is to go for the "feel", the Blues is where to start. Speed, shredding and flash are all well and good, but as my father used to say "music without feeling is noise". I'm just an auld Scotsman frae Ayrshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so it's just my tuppence worth.

Sebs, if you want to see someone who combines feel/soul play with technical/thrash then you really owe it to yourself to watch the Gary Moore performance of The Messiah Will Come Again (Live at Montreax).

[@framegote5152]

When I first watched a Tina S video a couple of years ago I felt the same man! I always said I am a moderate guitar player, but after seeing her, I hang my guitar on the wall, like you did there, but mine never comes of again. 😏

[@richardhansen3703]

The only time I ever wished I had small hands was when I would play the guitar as fire up the neck as she is. That would have simplified things a whole lot. This girl has a lot of talent and I'm sure we'll see a lot more from her.

[@leecowell8165]

She's gifted. People playing this fast can do it for a few seconds but she never stops. This is over 6 minutes long and she does not miss a single note. Many have commented that its impossible simply because the picking hand would cramp up. But she bangs those strings while chewing gum and not even bothering to look most at the guitar most of the time. Even REMEMBERING all these notes is phenomenal in its own right. So not only is she playing at an incredible rate she remembers them. People are NEVER satisfied! She sounds great in her new band too and yeah her appearance has drastically changed. But its STILL our Tina, people do not forget that NOBODY plays at her level so remember that when you watch her. I think that as she matures she'll eventually go the Steve Vai, Gary Moore route but remember that she's currently a humble girl which prefers NOT standing out in the crowd. She's also super smart which is gonna make for choosing friends very carefully. Give her some time...

yes, she is fantastic, been through some stuff I'm told. She was on the internet a way long time ago and for some reason I can't comprehend she started getting a lot of harsh comments from idiots and quit then after a time she returned and now with a band which breaks my heart (in my opinion) because she is and could be a renowned superstar like Malmsteen in my estimation. She has a whole catalog of covers you can listen to. I like the one where there's a reaction video of Herman Li (fastest guitarist) from Dragonforce doing a cover of HIS song "Through the Fire and Flames". At first, he's like oh ok, then he's like impressed. LOL

I had the chance to teach her the electric guitar from the age of 13 to 18, and I also filmed and produced all these videos at that time in my studio. I must say that she never disappointed me, what a prodigy she was... a small precision concerning this version, it is an arrangement made by the incredible Italian guitarist, Michele "Dr Viossy" Vioni, who was kind enough to let us use his version." "I made her work on a lot of pieces, but only a part was the subject of videos. On the other hand, everything that has been filmed is online (14)."

So I can only guess that at some point while she was making these videos that someone who she trusts and IMO someone VERY smart told her to get school done and then go back and play which seems what she did.
