Violinist Hears Tina S For First Time ( Moonlight Sonata )- Pro Guitarist Reacts

[@LeeKirkman88]

I think i was still learning how to tune a guitar by ear at 17 and this girl is doing all this unbelieveable talent.

[@mikcargsxr]

Must’ve viewed this piece over hundred time, it’s amazing and she’s phenomenal! Really enjoyed listening to your comments and reactions!

[@jonathanlaw475]

you can't convince me that Beethoven wouldn't have been a straight metal head if he was alive today

[@billyboy9034]

Oh, he was a Metal head! He just couldn't find band mates that could play faster,harder,deeper, like He could!

[@Maxad1812]

Go for her Vivaldi tribute....Stunning!!!!

[@eTraxx]

Second that

[@jackburgess8579]

Her performance of Vivaldi's "Summer" (3rd movement) is especially bad. If you want to hear the piece expertly performed by a child who is a genuinely master musician, check out the recent performance by 15 year old Chloe Chua (posted on her channel).

[@mattfraser1096]

I enjoy when Nikki is closing her eyes and just letting the music flow in her mind and she's just enjoying it and focused on the music being performed

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

Me too!! ✌️

[@donepearce]

She has two techniques. When she plays rock she holds the guitar on her right knee, with the neck horizontal. For a classical piece like this it goes on her left knee with the neck raised, There are two distinct guitarists living in her brain.

[@zerksari]

I agree, she is likely trained in two positions and she assumes them depending on the piece, likely heavily coached on stance and technique. I am not taking anything away with that sentence, rather that she is 17 in this. I would say she is like Michael Jordan. Generational unique.

[@Miguel-kw8ej]

It is said that she returned to her home in another galaxy, only in this way can the inexplicable be explained. Her Majesty Tina S was born to play the guitar, she is a virtuoso, an unimaginable and unattainable talent, Mexico

[@markmark63]

She stop posting vids to go to a technical university in Paris. Today she plays with her band "Spin Twice". They have a few videos on KZbin.

[@Dieselsdog3]

The best part of your "Introduction" videos is the level of excellence YOur guests bring. That and watching them be as blown away by the talent as I am.

[@Dieselsdog3]

P.S. Did you notice if her left hand was playing?

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

It definitely was. The camera couldn’t keep up at 20 fps.

​@@michaelgoyettemusicCool ! Can't wait 😉🤘 Gilles

[@Membwayne]

I agree. While "Moonlight" is technically perfect, on "Love of God" she is immersed in it emotionally as well.

[@Knightrider2709]

It's nice that a lady of classical music makes her comments. I am of the opinion that she does the taping with at least 3 if not 4 fingers. How her fingers gently glide over the strings. She taps with her right finger as if it were a piano. Absolutely fantastic And at a speed where even your eyes can't capture everything.

[@ericsicard910]

Keep in mind she still needs 2 fingers to hold the pick 😂

[@Zepherian]

@@ericsicard910 Maybe she developed a technique to tap while holding?

[@elsenm3965]

Tina playing Gary Moore The Loner is so good as well ! Some notes are soul piercing !

[@TheBlaster54]

IMO, Tina is a generational virtuoso. Her skill level, even at this age, is second to none.

[@grabtharshammer]

I don't know how true it is, but I heard she stopped in 2016 to concentrate on her education and attended a university (or French equivalent) and is now back since 2023

[@bobsullivan5714]

Virtuoso is a word reserved for only those skill sets at the extremes of excellence...It has only been since experiencing Tina S. that I now understand that a new word for excellence beyond virtuoso must be created.

[@32a34a]

Tina's version of Gary Moore's The Loner is one of her best. Just an epic cover.

[@gregoryjamessnayer7271]

I want to start off by saying that we all should praise Dr Viossy for scoring this Sonata for pianoforte. What he did, was to bring every single musician to the table discussing Beethoven's influence not just on your ordinary classical scene, but also how so many composers of especially Rock music, knowingly or unknowingly, reflect his (Beethoven's) style. Hence the fact that many "classically" trained musicians would say that 'Beethoven would love this'. Then.. This was the last of the set of covers by Tina recorded at the age of 17 in 2016. Not only did she master this piece, it is the way she performance this and all of her other covers. All the necessary intricacies and details of this piece are clearly heard and perfectly executed as only the true masters can. [There's a video, synchronized, showing both the composer, Dr Viossy and Tina playing this piece.] Viossy didn't miss a thing of the original piano version when he wrote it, including passing notes,trillls, and many more. For a person as young as Tina to have captured all of the above so perfectly is a display of the level of her gift - her God-given insight into everything that seems even impossible for us to understand! Her intake and execution of every single cover that she does is way beyond anyone I know, and especially at her age, still has to be born! Of the original set, Tina did also Ingwie's "Arpeggios from hell", and some snatches of Panini and Vivaldi. Enjoy also "Through the fire and flames" by Dragon Force, Steve Vai's "For the love of God" Altitude by Jason Becker, Gary Moore's "The Loner" and more. Thank you for your reaction and for having someone with you who really knows this piece. She was listening specifically and intensely for those tiny little details. However, she agrees that Tina cannot be flawed on any! A reaction really well done and with respect for our lovely guitarist, Tina Setkic. Thank you.

[@jackburgess8579]

>>"Hence the fact that many "classically" trained musicians would say that 'Beethoven would love this'." The vast majority of classically trained musicians would say no such thing.

[@Mr3DBob]

Beethoven=metal. She makes it obvious to those who hadn't thought about that. Btw, Yo!

[@eTraxx]

Has always seemed to me that Beethoven was a metal head born in the 18th century. He seems to have done pretty well.

[@joeyc630]

Definitely check out Tina Setkic Dragon Force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old awesome request 😀

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

Already out. 👍

[@colinmack2566]

It's always funny to see first time reactions to this performance. Like people know more or less what to expect, but then when she just launches into it, you can just see everyone's jaw drop and brain get rewired in those first 10 seconds of "wtf is even happening?"

[@michaelyork4554]

You could both check out Steve Howe, and Patrick Moraz playing "Beginnings" written by Steve Howe, and "Mood For A Day". Steve incorporates the baroque style in many of his pieces.

[@martinrobinson936]

Yo Mike, great reaction team. Interesting to hear a new viewpoint, and confirmation of the flow of the guitar following faithfully to the melody. Even if metal. I certainly appreciate this, but is not my favourite track in anyway. Maybe in my 20s…..getting a quite different enjoyment from different music in my mid life, but I have always been eclectic.

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

I had fun working with Nikki. We’ll likely do it again. I get further from metal the older I get too…..I’m also drawn to strange sounds!! This is undeniably good regardless of taste though. ✌️

[@ericsicard910]

The transcription was done by Dr Viossy indeed. But her rendition is on another level.😂

[@smash1957]

Everyone seems to think she's nonchalant and you said it was up you to other guitarists. I think differently. I think she is totally concentrating. When she's not looking at the guitar it is invariably through very technical parts where timing and coordination are needed. I am no musician though.

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

To be clear I was joking……I’m sure she has no disdain for other guitarist. 😂 Yeah you’re probably right

[@PaulG.x]

Exactly , she is totally focused and has no time to be pulling faces and other affectations lesser guitarist indulge in . All of which is just for show

[@mommaover4064]

The most metal music ever started at 12:21, it was written by a classical musician in the 19th century, go figure. This give you a glimpse into the greatness of classical music.

[@yarkorab]

Pls react to Marcin Patrzalek's renditions of Paganini's caprices no 5 and 24. On one guitar ...

[@AnnQlder]

I loved bill and Ted, classic idea. “I’m Keanu” 😂. I really enjoyed this, Nikki is a very classy lady. It makes me wonder if either of you have heard any ENZSO? It’s split enz songs reworked and done with the NZ symphony orchestra, with a variety of lyricists including Neil Finn of course. I think it’s a special album. And yo! you can stop worrying now 😂

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

I’d doubt she’s heard of the split enz. She grew up classical…. I Got You was a big hit here though…..I played it in a band back in the 90s and it went over really well. I haven’t heard of Enzso…..sounds interesting…. …..YO PHEW!!! ✌️ ❤️

[@Danceofmasks]

Interesting that you'd mention Paganini, Malmsteen, and violin ... there's a performance by (a subgroup of) Unlucky Morpheus of Yngwei's Far Beyond the Sun, except that the soloist in question is playing a violin. Full circle. You should check it out, or maybe even show it to Nikki

[@ericsicard910]

And the fact that Tina covered Paganini, Malmsteen‘s Arpeggio of Hells, …

[@mannygee005]

Yo!, hoho... hey Nikki's pretty cool. Tina's left hand is astounding when she jumps to a fret position on the neck from so far away so precisely and so quickly, absolute control! Also her right hand when picking is basically a relaxed fist, barely moving, so precise! And of course the transcription/arrangement is fantastic. So to practice this she must have drilled at more difficult exercises or faster tempo so that she can do this piece so very relaxed with no errors, yes?

[@michaelgoyettemusic]

I would guess she spent a couple months working on this and I would guess she had a daily routine she practiced on guitar of scales arpeggios tapping etc 🍻

[@steby123]

Such a kick how ;Oh pulese, she is !

[@VerMaarte]

Wouldn't surprise me if she is also looking at a wave screen (screen as 'conductor') to get the timing right with the backing. There are some off-beat accents because it's based on classical music. I myself like to do that too with recordings with tempo changes f.i.

[@mikeh6876]

[@ThaiChinaMalay]

I prefer music with passion and feeling rather than monotone loud noisy passionless guitar. What she performed is technically great...but lacked passionate feelings generated that is normally felt in just the first 45 seconds of Moonlight Sonata.

[@Penddraig7]

The song in Bill & Ted is Play With Me by Extreme and is a song that takes elements from Mozart’s music, especially the guitar solo. On the subject of Bill & Ted, they already released the reboot of Bill & Ted about 4 years ago now, it was trash, one of those franchises that should have been left alone but because Hollywood is so bankrupt of any ideas, we are being subject to reboots and reimagining of old classics or remakes etc and 90% should never have been given the green light, they end up tainting the originals and often for the sake of someone’s vanity project or hate of the originals. The mainstream music industry is no better, these execs don’t seem interested in originality and quality, I don’t think they understand the media they are running
