Sungha Jung (Korean: 정성하; born 2 September 1996) is a South Korean musician who specializes in acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Jung creates acoustic covers and arrangements, typically by ear and/or by watching videos, and has original music, which he plays and uploads online. He was often described as a guitar prodigy, though he prefers to be known as a ‘guitarist’ rather than a ‘prodigy’. His YouTube channel currently has more than 5 million subscribers.
Jung developed an interest in guitar after watching his father play. He found his father’s guitar playing more interesting than piano, which he was already learning. At first, Jung’s mother and grandmother disapproved of the ‘noise’ that Jung and his father continuously created, but they came to understand it as his gift.
His cover of “The Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song, which currently has over 55 million views on YouTube, made Jung an internet sensation, and his playing caught the attention of world-renowned guitarists, who found his covers of their songs impressive.
Apart from Korean, Jung speaks English,which he studied to be able to communicate during concerts abroad.
Here is the sound from his fans:
I say we give him one string … so that we can try and follow what he does.
Sounds like he is playing with 15 fingers
Anything with string….just give him anything with string….
Such a gifted pair of hands!

His fingers are inhuman!
Don’t need to sing. His guitar sings for him lol. That was amazing. So beautiful I can hear the words.

He looks like he’s thinking ”I’m so awesome, MAN, I can’t believe myself.”
