Guitar Hiro

[Generation ABXY]

As a frequenter of Today’s Big Thing, I’ve seen this South Korean boy playing guitar twice now and I finally got curious enough to check out his YouTube page. Turns out this prodigy (okay, I’m not sure what the qualifiers for that term are, but I feel fine using it here) has a whole host of songs, including a few original pieces. His acoustic covers, however, are where he really shines!

I thought I’d share some of his stuff, so I’ve posted two of my favorites below:

Tears for Fears’ Mad World:

...and Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit:

You just got yourself another subscriber, Sungah Jung! :D

How old is he?

[Nura]

While not the best, he certainly has some skills! and probably more skills then i'll ever get. Props to the little guy.

How old is he?

He just turned twelve in September; he's been playing since he was nine.

[Psykoboy2]

32 years old.

Looks young though, don't he?

[Everyone vs Dinosaurs]

Awesome.

Not horrendously difficult songs, but still well done.

[Generation ABXY]

Awesome.

I'm not sure what's hard or not; I've never played guitar. However, as I said, he has a whole lot of videos on his YouTube channel and these are just my favorites, so you might want to check it out and see what he really can do. :)

Fucking amazing, considering he's only 12. If he made the arrangement for Teen Spirit then he wins.

Teen Spirit was actually the second one I heard, the first was the Pirates of the Caribbean theme:

all that healthy seafood they eat, amazing isn't it!

and so is his guitar playing, he's awesome. I love these virtuosos.

He's way better than I'll ever be. Colour me impressed.

I love the sound of the Tears for Fears one.
