"Fingerstyle Guitar Prodigy"
Notice 1: There are some video clips of younger Sungha out there floating around YouTube, portrayed as a five-year-old Chinese boy. In fact, I posted them on a Korean website when Sungha just started playing the guitar at nine. Apparently, some foreigners who do not comprehend Korean ripped the videos, and posted them on YouTube with a little imagination. Please make a note of it.

Notice 2: Sungha has composed two pieces, 'Missing You' and recently 'Voyages with Ulli.' And he arranged one of his favorite songs 'Fields of Gold' by Sting. I will have the tabs for those songs available soon. Please do not ask me for tabs other than his own arrangement or composition. I suggest you to contact the person whoever composed or arranged the song. You can get the tab for 'Missing You' from the picture section of my 'MySpace' site. Click on the Website URL below. (You can download some of Sungha's music in mp3 file format there as well. Check out the music player once a month for updates.)

Notice 3: Please do not make racial comments. There is nothing racial about Sungha's music videos. Please watch your language since Sungha sometimes reads your comments. Thank you for your cooperation.

The following is the musician's statement of my son:

Hi, I'm Sungha Jung from South Korea. My dream is to become a professional acoustic fingerstyle guitarist.

I had been watching my dad play the guitar for awhile before I finally jumped on it myself two years ago. I just turned eleven in September, 2007.

Currently, I am taking weekly classical guitar lessons and teaching myself fingerstyle guitar.

I used to not have tabs for the music that I played in my videos. I just listen and pick them up directly from the sound source in videos available on the internet. However, recently, I have started playing with original tabs whenever they are available to me by courtesy of the authors.

My guitar is custom made to fit my body size, and on it, Thomas Leeb wrote "Keep on grooving to my friend."

I'm very grateful to those prominent guitarists who have had a great influence on my guitar playing. I'll continue to study them and learn more about interpretation of music and various playing techniques.

My daily practice routine lasts for one to two hours when school is open, but I play up to three hours a day during the school breaks.

It usually takes me two to three days to practice and videotape a new piece but sometimes up to a week for more difficult ones.

Last, but certainly not least, I can't thank Ulli Bögershausen enough for being my musical inspiration.
