Easily the coolest guitar duet in the history of guitar duets. I’ve watched this almost 50 times over 2 years and it still blows my mind!! Sungha, you legend!!
I rewatched this so many times. Also kind of cool to know that they have been playing together since Sungha was young. Incredible synergy. 진짜 잘했어요 둘다! 나도 그렇게 치고싶다 ㅠㅠ
I think this is the most meaningful example of what the Internet has done for this planet... We are all brothers and sisters... riding this crazy rock through space and time. Politics, religion, economics, borders, cultural biases are all just meaningless crap when you boil everything down to the basics. Here we all are from everywhere all over this crazy rock... and we are all feeling and enjoying the same experience. Thanks guys! Well done!
I am in agreement, and music absolutely proves that there can be harmony,if we just tune up together . As a guitar player I know how perfect strangers can become lifetime friends,brothers,and sisters,by tuning up together and play nice....these two show a shining example of that premise,and with Eric Clapton's music, a British Bluesman and I'm certain Clapton smiled when he heard this as much as I am smiling now, just hearing it for the first time..✌️🎸🎉💜🎵🎵🎁🎸👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✌️. Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This kid is born to do that! Man he would be one of the greatest to ever play the instrument if he continues his work and brings it to even higher levels. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR HIM! Keep it up, Sungha Jung!
People who say he's an robot or he plays without feeling should watch this. How is this playing without feeling/passion? :P He's obviously enjoying this. Just because he tends to be more restrained when under public scrutiny doesn't mean he likes playing the guitar any less or isn't passionate about it.
This is the fruit of many hours of hard practice, thousands of failures, frustrations, loss of confidence. People see the fruit, and they forget about the tree. Don't post any silly, empty praises about "talent" or "genius", or being gifted. He works damn hard at his guitar. Don't idolize this guy and beat up on your own inability. Gotta send those roots deep to grow delicious fruit. Which is what i'm gonna do now, peace
Playing FAR too many hours of computer games. I picked up the guitar around 10 months ago. I have a LOT of work to reach these guys' level, but I'm thankful to them and others for inspiring me and showing me what's possible. I hope it fires you up too.
Saying someone is a genius is not empty praise. The dude is a genius and we an practice all we want but few will ever get as good as he is. I'm with you on the "not beating up ourselves" part though. He makes me want to practice more.
Or he actually just practices a lot? I bet that if you would have the experience he gained during his life you would play (definitely diffrent) perhaps almost as good, better or somewhat worse. His quality might be deterrence or something else, but maybe he really is a 'genius'? Don't judge too quickly and just enjoy :) I'm not sure why you commented tha,t but I doubt it is enjoyable to read for anyone, nor is my comment to you.

As much as I love UA-cam for discovering great talents such as these artists, it's a struggle to remain optimistic about the world we live in when I see over 200 thumb-downs and negative comments. Sungha Jung and Akihiro Tanaka will change the world (for the better) with their music.
If anyone likes or even loves acoustic guitar music, this is an absolute meltdown for your ears. Such a joy to watch and listen to an acoustic jam for the ages.
words just dont do you justice.... simply amazing in every way the harmony was something else.... in the past hour of listening to you... you have changed my world
Its been amazing to watch your talent grow from childhood to now an accomplished young man. Thank you Sungha Jung for sharing your beautiful gift with us. You are an inspiration!
Old comment I know, Eric Clapton is one of his biggest influences and idols. Please pay respect to the greats who paved the way. Also, Eric Clapton did not write the guitar for this song. Fact.
This is my thirtieth or something youtube clip of Sungha that I have watched just for today. feel like I can listen to his guitar forever ever and ever...
Why can't people just accept that musical taste is unique for each person... Yes, there are people who listened to this and didn't like it. Accept it and move on, they have different opinion, that's normal. Just because I was pretty much stunned by this song and insta-liked it, it doesn't mean everybody has to have it same way.
This is the highest level i've ever seen in acustic guitar. It's so elevetad and virtous and beutiful. Just conected with sound... I'm speechless.
Yup it it, the highest level...
It is..but check out this song: ua-cam.com/video/OKTAI-Y_a6g/v-deo.html
I think the Sungha Duet @ Link is a bit better, if thats even possible :D
No it's never this is just entry level...watch Chet Atkins real guitar god
No it's never this is just entry level...watch Chet Atkins real guitar god
Eleven years later and I'm still watching this video with awe
Easily the coolest guitar duet in the history of guitar duets. I’ve watched this almost 50 times over 2 years and it still blows my mind!! Sungha, you legend!!
Akihiro Tanaka's blues is so mature. Both are exceptional talents.
This is one of the best things on the Internet. I found it 2 years ago and I still feel the same way. First class!
This is one of the truly great guitar duo performances. Right up there with the classical Williams/Bream pieces.

Sungha and Aki are best buds for sure. I've seen them perform live together and it is the same magic or more. One of those times when 2+2+10.
This kid is born to do that! Man he would be one of the greatest to ever play the instrument if he continues his work and brings it to even higher levels. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT FOR HIM! Keep it up, Sungha Jung!
It just doesn't get any better than this. Awesome!
simply amazing performance. Tanaka's technique and groove is out of this world
Awesome harmonies guys, great job on the composing! It's also nice to see how much fun you two have while playing. :)
Oh my... My ears will never be the same, breathtaking performance!

So beautiful! The best thing I ever heard in my life!
最高です。
お二人とも音が太いので聞いていて凄く気持ちいいです。
自分もソロギターを弾くので非常に勉強になります。
アレンジのセンスもめっちゃ格好良いです。
GREAT PLEASURE with SUNGHA § AKIHIRO duet . They show the perfect way two guitars can play .

Tottaly agree!
Dont brag about talent, being gifted..dude he's been playing the guitar since he was a kid..so what you've been doing when you were a kid eh? XD
Playing FAR too many hours of computer games. I picked up the guitar around 10 months ago. I have a LOT of work to reach these guys' level, but I'm thankful to them and others for inspiring me and showing me what's possible. I hope it fires you up too.

Smooth as silk. Shiny as gold. So much soul.
Best rendition yet that I've heard! Great! Thank you for sharing your talents

They killed it!!!!!! Amazing.
So, I keep listening with Joy,and a Huge Smile.....Thank you Thank You Thank You 🙏🙏🎵🎵🙀
Is there still a song that Sungha Jung can find challenging to play? Seriously.... He's really a genius.
Or he actually just practices a lot? I bet that if you would have the experience he gained during his life you would play (definitely diffrent) perhaps almost as good, better or somewhat worse. His quality might be deterrence or something else, but maybe he really is a 'genius'?

Shut up, hater.
Absolutely amazing, both of them. Fantastic rendition.
so cool, complementary toned guitars....really well recorded, good times
I think Eric himself would be floored by this rendition, beautiful! Thank you for sharing your music with the world.
can't find the right words.... just amazing
Can't stop watching the fun they have it's fabulous to see and for the soul. Great guitar players.

just puts a smile on your face. what talent. so glad we have people like this in the world.

Amazing.
This one, i guess i will remember for the rest of my life
If anyone likes or even loves acoustic guitar music, this is an absolute meltdown for your ears. Such a joy to watch and listen to an acoustic jam for the ages.
めっちゃかっこいいですやん
Really good ! I'm sure Eric would love it , he's humble guy and sees quality right away !
wow, no words needed to describe this!
Manuel Fit i thing so too!
Great adaptation and interpretation, great sounding guitars, rather modern and trebly sounding guitar but also very sparkling and modern. I love it.
Excelente trabajo amigos !! Los felicito.

words just dont do you justice.... simply amazing in every way the harmony was something else.... in the past hour of listening to you... you have changed my world

すんばらしい
そしてかわいすぎるだろこの子ら
THIS is what pure joy looks like. Great job, guys...(!).
I just love how they enjoy playing together. These two are having a great time!
It's fantastic sound! Healing my ear ^^
I can see how great it is to have Sungha as a friend. He'll talk using his guitar.
in my dreams, I play like that. unreal stuff.
I can’t get enough!!! Pure joy!!
he's genius dude, its impossible for a kid to gain those notes in his memory...
Awesome jam session! Both having so much fun playing. A joy to listen.
I think they're talking using guitars. That's cool
Excellent way of putting it!
I agreed well put, just like that eyelash
Can't get enough of this. Absolutely brilliant!
This video is summed up in one word: Perfection
Sungha, your playing is just speechless. Your supporting backup on Tanaka's favorite song, Change the world is just amazing!!.
Silver wings change the world!
two of my favorite guitar players, love it so much.
Japanese Bro's Jung &Tanaka. Awesome!!!
Just saying but sungha is Korean
They are both such happy spirits playing the smiles and the music incredible wow wow such a beautiful sound 😊
What did Eric Clapton have to say about this?
Best guitar duet ever.
I need to go practice
Absolutely Amazing.
This was awesome. Eric who :)
Old comment I know, Eric Clapton is one of his biggest influences and idols. Please pay respect to the greats who paved the way. Also, Eric Clapton did not write the guitar for this song. Fact.
wow! they're like talking each other! awestruck!
Nice
These two kinda remind me of Depapepe =)
This is my thirtieth or something youtube clip of Sungha that I have watched just for today. feel like I can listen to his guitar forever ever and ever...
What's the unlikes all about?
Their just jealous that two types of different languages can come together and make beautiful music lol
most likely they were upside down so they mistook it
Why can't people just accept that musical taste is unique for each person... Yes, there are people who listened to this and didn't like it. Accept it and move on, they have different opinion, that's normal.
Just because I was pretty much stunned by this song and insta-liked it, it doesn't mean everybody has to have it same way.
They thought they're gonna sing.. like i did wait until the mid of the video. Lol
They Jelly
It is an amazing performer with two people.
3:01 is my favorite part
Haha me too, there's something about that progression, he also does it at 1:58
Tastes sweet!!
this is so beautiful...i hope Sungha and Akihiro would collaborate once again and do Earl Klugh's "Dance with Me"...wish wish wish
楽しんで演奏するってこーゆーことね。
Best guitar duo i've seen for a long time. so powerful.
What was the Clapton's reaction?
Jawdropped, was last seen going into his practice room.
Shaking his head, muttering...
I re-watched this for like 20 times in a row, and I still can't get enough.
Korean x Japananse = beautiful.
Why do you have to hate each other's gut when together you could make something like this XD
History.
+Thanh Nguyen Because we play like shit. :)
ICSU_DuckySquash what does that mean? do you refer to this song?
+Thanh Nguyen You asked why hate when we make something like this, Well , we can't ;)
ICSU_DuckySquash LOL That answer was completely off topic but yeah, I'm jealous too. 😂😂
Absolutely fantastic. This is wonderful.
Asian level!
Too beautiful for words. Sungha Jung is an amazing talent! ♥♥♥
2:53 this is where sungha jung turns into ultra instinct
Awesome performance Sungha and Akihiro!
Really! 99 dislikes? Who's the wise guy!
Absolutely beautiful extraordinary gifted playing, Love you Guys!!
Ok...slow this down and look carefully...pretty sure you'll see 2 guys...4 eyes, 2 noses, 2 mouths, 2 guitars...and 37 fingers.
