Hi, My Name is Hendy Gui. Now, I shared articel about Sungha Jung. Sungha Jung is a Fingerstyle Guitarist in the world and he also played on the stage for many times. And now this is the description of Sungha Jung
Sungha Jung (Korean: 정성하) is a South Korean acoustic fingerstyle guitarist. His YouTube channel has more than 2.7 million
subscribers. Jung creates
acoustic covers and arrangements, typically by ear and/or by watching videos,
and has original music, which he plays and places online. He was nicknamed the
"Guitar Prodigy" and the "August Rush" in Korea, though he
prefers to be known as a 'guitarist' rather than a 'guitar prodigy'.

Jung began to play the guitar after watching his father play. He first
learned piano, but found it somewhat boring. After watching his dad play, he
decided to learn guitar instead. Jung was taught the basics of guitar by his
father. After learning the basics, he developed his skill greatly just by
trying to play what he heard. Jung came to play fingerstyle when his father
discovered the fingerstyle technique on the internet. His first 'idol' was
guitarist Kotaro Oshio, from whom he developed interest in fingerstyle. Jung has
received guitar lessons from Hata Shuji,
a well-known Japanese jazz guitarist. He has also been mentored by German
guitarist Ulli
Bögershausen, who Jung refers to as his musical inspiration, and
from whom he learned much about composing and arranging. In addition to steel-string and classical guitar, he
plays twelve-string guitar, electric guitar, four and six-stringed ukuleles,
harp ukulele, and piano. .jpg)
Jung received his first guitar at age nine, a very coarse plywood guitar
that was less than $60. Upon discovering Jung's skill with the toy-like guitar, his father
decided to buy him a better one - a Cort Earth900. Jung began seriously playing
with this guitar. His third guitar was a custom-made Selma guitar. In 2009 he
entered a sponsorship arrangement with Lakewood guitars, with the help of Ulli Bögershausen. Jung currently still
plays a Lakewood guitar, which has his signature inlaid on the fretboard.
