13-Year-Old Guitarist Wows Guitar Pros... and Yoko Ono

Sep 24, 2009 02:01 AM

South Korea's child prodigy, Sungha Jung, uploads approximately one video a week to his YouTube channel, racking up millions of views and over 120,000 subscribers. Jung is an acoustic fingerstyle guitarist, and his skill level is well beyond his years. The guitar appears to be practically the same size as Jung, even though it is custom made to fit his body size.

One of Jung's most notable fans is none other than Yoko Ono. Jung displays an encouraging note from Yoko on his personal website:

"Dear Sungha Jung. I just witnessed your performance of ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE! Thank you for a beautiful performance. John Lennon would have been happy that you performed his song so well. Lots of love, Yoko Ono Lennon"

By the way, did I mention Jung only started playing three years ago?

Check out Jung's most popular video below, "With Or Without You" by U2 below. Watch Yoko's favorite, "All You Need is Love", here.
