She's been criticized by viewers for not showing any emotion in her face, but what people don't realize is that not all people are like that and plus, it's rather obvious that Tina S. is an individual of extreme focus, commitment and discipline... Her emotion shines through her fingers... I for one hope that she is alright and comes back one day to TH-cam...
@Vlasko60 I play the guitar and for what is worth, even as an amateur I get like that, I can't even talk while playing. It's not like I have no emotion, I am loving it but just cant show it.
Yeah, too bad the fucking trolls managed to bully her off of YT. This is why we can't have nice things... I do realize that she went to school but there are other very young YTers who went to school and kept making videos after their homework was done. It's not like she COULD NOT, it's likely that she DID NOT WANT TO which is totally understandable considering how bad it got, so no judgment from me. Totally sucks because of her pure potential that we won't get to see fulfilled. Well, I do judge the trolls but that is a completely different matter...

I must have watched this amazing performance about 30 times and I am still mesmerised. The power that this teenage girl casually delivers is incredible. Yes there are other talented guitar players who can play this piece but, Tina is one step above , she has been studying classical guitar from an early age. Everything is perfect, economy of movement, huge violinist vibrato…..
Tina S is recognized as one of the best guitarists in the world. She is a prodigy. Another great young female guitarist is Babysaster. She also plays covers and classical guitar. She even composes her own music. You should check her out when you're finished with Tina S.
So, I've watched this video many, many times. Somtimes I pay attention only to her left or right hand, or sometimes just her face. If you watch closely, you'll see her make a "scrunchy" face. That means she hit a bad note or made a slight mistake here and there. Not that any of us would notice......don't get me wrong, I soooo love and respect her, for years.....just saying............
@@athel10 Often times a musician will grimace to physically express an emotion that he/she feels from the song itself. Rock guitarists are especially known to do this while playing, sometimes to access. I'm not saying that you are wrong, just putting forth another alternative for the grimace.
Carlie, I have to say thank you for pointing out that she doesn't have to show off her body to attract attention! That is so spot on and I'm glad to see you have morals and I appreciate that about you! Tina S. Is amazing and so talented and she has worked very hard to get where she is! Thank you for this great reaction video! 🤘😎
I read a comment by a guitar player why said that after several years of dedicating his life to mastering the guitar, after watching her play this, he has finally found the motivation to pursue a career in accounting.
First! great video! Her "Through the fire and flames" cover was praised by Herman Li himself on livestream. And her Steve Vai cover is brilliant. she was only 16 when this was recorded.
I agree.. Carlie you need to do both of these. I recognize Vai as being probably the greatest guitarist alive today but tell you what Tina is right there with him. Toward the end of his "For the life of God" Tina goes off a bit on her own & tell you what blows Steve away with it. He later stated its the best cover of his work that he's ever seen. Herman Li says the same thing. I mean neither of these great players have a thing on Tina. and yeah what I really like? She's very obviously a girl. Even though she has changed after coming back to us she's still very obviously female all the way. Sure she just turned 25 you don't stay a "kid" forever.
She plays in her own league, Scott. I mean she does all these covers by the greatest players on the planet and she's either right there with all of them or ahead. I mean she'll go off and do her own thing like Steve Vai's piece there and its better than his (or I think it is). I mean she absolutely RIPS that thing! You know at the speed that she plays you'd kinda think she'd miss a note here and there but she doesn't! I downloaded and made a CD atta ALL her covers. People hear it and they ask me WTF??
I really like what you said about looking up to pure talent like Tina, and that a girl who plays guitar doesn't have to show off her body to get clicks or anything. Hard work counts, not tricks to hide shortcomings. I really hope that young girls will take more example from Tina than from the others, even if I don't really have hope ...
I think what floors me about this cover is that there are multiple points where she's playing and she'll spend an extended period of time not even looking at the fretboard as she's going off. That's some absolutely insane muscle memory and it's jaw-dropping to watch. I personally think my favorite cover of hers is Steve Vai's "For The Love of God", but she's absolutely incredible here too.
Well said, good reaction. Yes a French prodigy, 17 in this video in 2016. . Some consider her the best. Classically trained since 6, switched to electric at 13. Last social media post was in 2018. Pretty much disappeared since then except she registered one person company in Nov/Dec 2020. A lot of speculation, most say she went to University, but no hard evidence. Welcome to Tina addiction !
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
Beethoven would have loved this! He was a rebel. In his day, piano music was methodical and played for the elite at parties where they could waltz to the rhythm. This would have been like showing up at the waltz and playing "Purple Haze". .. Which would have been great to see! 😎👍. Tina S has captured all our hearts, just look at the millions of views for each song...this is greatness!
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
I've seen this video countless times and by far my favorite part is the last couple frames after she's done playing and she looks up at whoever's in the room and you can just see her eyes *blow up* with energy because she's *so* pumped by the run through, but then almost as quickly remembers to calm down again so that they can turn off the camera before she goes nuts over her performance. It's *thaaaaat* feeling that's 10x more potent than the strongest drug that has artists, true artists, do what they do, and it's why everyone else loves art so much, because we get to be able to taste just the tiniest amount of that through their work
@@yogajedi3337 hahaha Viossy is Italian and Tina is French ans her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais lives in the city next to Tina's. On all of Tina's videos there was written: Taught and filmed by her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais."
@@0ParisFrance Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and robotic playing the score whatever. She has produced nothing of value of her own, nor her teacher. On Tina video cover she respect and mention the original and Dr Viossy name. When you listen to the original version and know anything about music it's easy to hear Tina lacks dynamics and understanding what she is playing.
@@0ParisFrance Lol. Covers of Dr. Viossy pops up rapidly. Like this guy th-cam.com/video/NxnV-1LLa8w/w-d-xo.html. Is he faster than Tina? that is the apex of their musicality 😄
She started playing at age 6 or 8 on the classical guitar. So she has all those years of lessons and many many thousands of hours of playing. She is the best I have ever heard.
Beethoven would have a hard time hearing her, since by the time he was midway through his career he was deaf. But he would be fascinated by the way her fingers glided across the fretboard. A few of his masterpieces were written after he became deaf. She and a few other women should be held as idols for today's youth, but don't hold your breath. Great review, thank you.
I've seen every one of Tina's videos. And I still keep coming back, why? Because I think she's the best female guitarist I've have ever seen. I love the comment that girls who like modern music, where the artist is average but uses celebrity to their advantage should of course be listened to, but not as an inspiration. Tina S is what girls & boys should aspire to be if they want to stand above the current musicians. Even if they cannot reach Tina's level, they would certainly learn more from learning bits of Tina's playing. Then they could use these bits to go in their own direction. I'm 55, I've played for 43 years, I will never have the natural gift that Tina has. I know talent when I see it, but this talent extraordinary.
"Tina S is what girls & boys should aspire to be if they want to stand above the current musicians." You've missed the whole point of role models altogether. It ain't about being better than others, it's about being your best.
Congrats on 60K girl! While Moonlight Sonata is a tour-de-force, my favorite Tina S solo is her Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Solo Cover. Tina was only 15 years old at the time. Astounding talent!
Tina S's band, SPIN TWICE no longer exists ! Since June 2023 Tina has no longer produced anything, only 3 songs with the group Spin Twice. The singer and the musicians left. Singer Thomas Smagghe returned to his old band CHASING DAISY, without Tina S, and released a new song and video on TH-cam : CHEWBACCA.
Personally I think Beethoven was the greatest composer that ever lived. And Tina does him proud. I mean, how do you get that good? It's not just her playing, but the composition itself is pure brilliance.
Her covers of "For the love of God" from Steve Vai and "The Loner" from (I think one of the most underrated guitarist) Gary Moore, are my favorite. All her over covers are insane too : "Master of Puppets" from Metallica, "Through the fire and flames" Dragonforce...
I have watched scores of people and their take on Tina. You, however, are the first to say how Tina is someone to look up to for aspiring young ladies and girls. Thank you for pointing that out. I believe Moonlight Sonata is her best cover. If you want to see her most moving cover, please watch Stephen Vie’s for the love of God.
I wonder what Steve really thought about her cover? Now I consider him the best player in the world... BUT Tina gives him a serious, VERY serious run when she goes off on her own a bit toward the end there and absolutely RIPS it. He's gotta be thinking like what I was thinking "Are you kidding me?".
Notice how many times she is playing with her eyes closed. You cut off the end of the video where just after she finished she flashed that smile!!! Would be nice to see her come back - amazing talent. Her video got over 40 million views on the Tina S channel.
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
@@yogajedi3337 You do not know that for fact so STOP stating your OPINIONS as FACT. By now, years later, Tina just very well could be a GREAT writer or producer or arranger or conductor.
@@yogajedi3337 YOU DO NOT KNOW FOR FACT THAT SHE CANNOT do any of those things. You are NOT her, so YOU do not get to tell anybody else what SHE is or is not capable of. So shut your hole. There is no 'checking her up' because she clearly does not want to be checked on. Any attempt to do so would be a violation of her personal privacy, which is AT THE VERY LEAST UNETHINCAL, and could actually be ILLEGAL. Just because she has not published anything with her name on it, does not mean she could not have ever written anything. It is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that she COULD have already or that she may in the future. If she did write but didn't publish, it could be stuck in some private journal in a storage unit for all that anybody knows. There are many kinds of genius. She is obviously GREAT with guitar playing and so she is musical to at least some extent. Music affects the mind in ways that normal speech does not. You can look that up or ask anybody who knows a single thing about psychology. TRY telling more people about everybody else when you can really only answer for yourself. You make yourself look like a fool for this dumb post of yours.
I fully agree with you: showing off your body means your guitar skills are not enough to attract the attention you are looking for. Tina S is way beyond that level, no need to show off her body or make the guitar loop around her head or anything, her talent and skills speak louder than anything else. The beauty is in the music and I can't get enough of it. Definitely an example for aspiring artists, who are not race horses so difficult to say what is the best (is it even relevant?), but after watching all the versions of that sonata I could find, no other guitar player comes close to Tina's level of beauty.
Tina is an amazing example of what dedication and hideous amounts of practice can accomplish. Even at such a young age, her skills were well beyond most professional guitar players. I hope she's out there somewhere melting faces, and living the good life.
@@0ParisFrance Well that's a steaming pile of horseshit you've got for an argument there. I'm not the one making claims, you are. I said, "I hope", not 'I know'. Come up with something better, or maybe go waste someone else's time.
Started playing when she was 4 or 5. This was her last posting on TH-cam. She just quit and went to University. She is French. You ask if Beethoven would like it....this is the 3rd movement, and this is how it is played on the piano, with this intensity. She was/is amazing. I think she was 16 when she did this and she would be in her early 20's now.
Everything is wrong ! She started at 6 years old, she played the Sonata at 17 and if she were alive she would be 22 years old. She never went to university !
@@0ParisFrance Whatever! Apparently English is your second language...you say she would be 22 now (if she were alive? do you know that she is not?) When I say early twenties, that includes 22. You say she started when she was 6 years old, no, that was when she began to study Classical Guitar with a teacher. She played prior to that. You say she never went to University, yet almost everyone other resource says she did. There are even pictures of her at University, but hey, maybe she was visiting someone, so I'll give you that one since there is no proof. So "Everything is NOT wrong". If you research at least do it honestly...
@@dalebuck7168 Ignore Research Videos. He's been trolling Tina for years. Last year his name was YT Investigations. He's the one that keeps spreading the rumor that she died.
@@0ParisFrance What on earth are you spewing? Tina is not Dead. She has been at Uni since early 2017 studing law. I believe she got her law degree last year. She has put all her time and effort into her studies and had no time for YT. She rearranged her YT last year and updated her about section stating she now has agency but nothing since. But she isn't dead.
we all fell in love with Tina S the first time we saw her playing this piece of art! She is a genious and hopefully in the future we will see her again!
For anyone who is interested, y'all should check out a young female guitarist from China who goes by the name YOYO. She is absolutely amazing! Both her talent and technique are mind bending, to say the least. Her cover of the Andy James piece, Angel Of Darkness, will set your brain on fire and was recorded when YOYO was only 9 years old. Tina S. is a real treat to watch/listen to, as well. Keep rockin' and stay heavy 🤘
Hi, Carlie. Your reaction to this Beethoven piece interests me so much that I would like to hear what you would say about any or all the covers performed by her. In my opinion, not only do I regard her as a prodigy, but much more importantly, I regard her as a master of the instrument. Indeed, as you say, she is the kind of person people should look up to...
I've watched countless Tina S reaction videos and the average response has been dumbfounded speechlessness. Most of the time I've had to wait a full thirty seconds after the lightning speed guitar playing ceased before the reactor came to their senses enough to say something "brilliant" like, "Jeez, that was good wasn't it?" Actually, their silence spoke more eloquently about what they experienced than words ever could. This is what I think happens to us while watching Tina S covers. Our brains begin to roast when 450 degrees of Tina S quadruple-speed guitar virtuosity is applied to them. We have to hit the stop button every thirty seconds to allow a cooling process to take place lest our brains sizzle out of control and melt. Tina S is performing guitar shredding impossibilities right before our very eyes. Hence, our confusion. Tina S, in our minds, is just too dang young to be playing that good! The average person can't swallow the theory that practice alone got her to that level of amazingness. A gift from God? Probably. At least that's my view. There have been two good Tina S reaction responses that caught my eye. 1. I think the "S" in Tina S stands for SPED UP! 2. "Watching Tina S play should be the easy part and her playing should be the hard part. But my experience was that watching her was the hard part because her playing appeared to be the easy part." Weird. But true. Afterthoughts. Tina has been negatively accused of being emotionless while playing. Granted, she doesn't gush with emotion like your average rock guitarist but here are three reasons why she acts that way. REASON 1. Tina S is NOT a rock guitarist. She's a classically trained guitarist. Notice how she has her guitar propped up on her left leg. Classical guitar style all the way. Classical guitarists are prim and proper and subdued on stage. Tina is probably mimicking the great classical guitarist Segovia's expression while playing not Angus Young's. By the way, Tina IS expressing emotion, it's literally pouring out of her instrument. REASON 2. Tina is not performing on a rock stage with 30,000 lunatic fans expecting guitar virtuosity and gobs of emotion. She is performing in a simple studio with one cameraman as her audience. She doesn't need to perform rock star stunts like playing the guitar with her teeth, or setting it on fire, or biting off the heads of bats. She's just playing the damn thing! Better than anyone that I've ever seen. REASON 3. The third reason why Tina isn't showing emotion is because what she's doing is easy. Yes, easy. How much emotion do you show while tying your shoe laces? Zero. Right? Why? Because tying your shoes is easy. You don't grimace and squint and bite your lower lip while tying your shoes because you don't need to and it would be weird if you did. Tina doesn't grimace and squint and bite her lower lip while shredding the guitar because she doesn't need to. The end.
I couldn’t agree with you more and I will tell you why she doesn’t show almost no facial expressions cause she’s the one guitar player that you will see that her facial expressions and emotions go from her brain into her body through her fingers and onto the guitar that makes the noise Because I don’t know about you. I personally can feel her emotion through the guitar dislike when a singer sings, if they’re really good, you can hear their performance and the emotion through their voice same thing with Tina. You can hear her emotions through her guitar plain you don’t have to make facial expressions to be great , and she has absolutely mastered that for us.
she is a French prodigy , who start self teach guitare at 8 yo and in this video she is almost 17 so ............ only one world to define her a genius
I've probably watched this clip more than 100 times and I've watched tons of reactions. EVERYBODY is blown away by Tina S. She's extra extraordinary. Sadly ... I've recently heard that she passed away in a car accident. I hope that's not true but nobody has heard or seen her in years.
For the Love of God (you will never hear anything else like it), Altitudes (puts on her own inimitable & brilliant spin that will take you into outer space), The Loner (the loneliest Loner), but all of her stuff is good. You can go back to it a hundred times & it never get old. It's as close to magic as you can get.
Glad to hear from you again and see you commenting on Tina again. I hope that some day Tina starts letting us know more about her journey of the last several years. Would just be cool to know regardless if she puts out more content or not. That is kind of a lie as you know but I'm still going with that because most of us respect her that much. I'm not on Twitter anymore or any social media so you won't know who I am but I respect your continued dedication to keeping it real about Tina. To others: If you ever really get into Tina, many different things will start to occur in your mind, your heart and in your ability to truly know a joy of expression that very few musicians will ever know and certainly many fewer will ever be able to duplicate with her skill level. Thank you for letting me know you are still around. Respect.
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original many years before her. No offence but Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
@@yogajedi3337 She is an incredible instrumentalist in many ways. So are others who are solely instrumentalists & widely admired. We know about Viossy, & Tina & Renaud were up front about it.
@@johnmcdonald5055 Listen to the original and if you understand anything about music find out Tina lacks dynamic and music understanding. Robotic cover playing doesn't impress me. She's cute though.
She's been playing since her acoustic guitar was physically bigger than her. She started playing classical acoustic. She is a legend. Hope she comes back with some mind blowers soon. She hasn't uploaded a new song in several years.
This was Tina age 17, check out Tina age 15, Shred the hell out of the guitar in the cover of Trough fire and flames, Dragonforce cover. Hope she one day comes back and show off her amazing talent 👍
Shes hitting about 8 notes a second... *on average* including the very "slow" parts. Shes probably up to 16 or maybe even 20 notes a second in the faster registers. Its god damn superhuman.
Tina covered Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames and Herman Li's jaw basically dropped to the floor haha. Supposedly Tina went back to school to learn more and further her career. Hopefully we see more of her in the future though.
So if you've ever heard the song "The devil went down to Georgia " Tina met the devil and played this and got 5 golden guitars and a free ticket to heaven.
From what I've read up about Tina and therefore from my understanding she started playing from the age of 6 and has received classical training from the get go. I'm sure I also read somewhere that her teacher is not only a French guitarist in his own right, but apparently he is a genius in his own right. Although, with respect to Tina I don't know that for sure. All I do know is that like everyone else, I know she is one incredibly talented musician.
As a French, I would love to be as good as Tina one day cause she's just amazing, she left youtube to continue her studies, we didn't hear anything about her since she left I hope one day she'll come back with another cover as amazing as this one was !!
i have two daughters and why they're not into the music - selection, they are incredibly moves by Tina's talent. One daughter, an artist - painting - has been so inspired by the song and f the hard work, she as had took at Tina that she's my daughter deep into studies and practice in her own art. So It's incredible that she's driven in and practice to the be the best. that she can be Thanks for showing this and 'letting me pass it to her, we'll see, but I have high hopes that it rubs off.
She can't have just vanished off the face of the earth, someone knows where she is and what she is doing now, Why she isn't in a metal band I don't know, crazy, She can't have given the guitar up surely, She is INCREDIBLE. I'm a huge Metal fan and classic music on electric guitar is killer remember the Great Kat. You should react to The Great Kat " Beethoven Mosh Beethoven 5th symphony in C minor. Bang that head.
After a few moments of listening to this young lady, Beethoven would slam his hands on the keyboard and say "Okay, fine! I quit! You Do it! I'm done!" And then he would sit back and enjoy the show, just like the rest of us!
First time reaction videos to Tina S are the best. I’d love to see re-action videos to other first time reaction videos, I think that would be fun to also see. @JustJen first time seeing was as fun as this one.
Guitarist Herman li, reacted to her on TH-cam and said she was the best of all covers. He also says when he don't want to play the song no More she could take his place and he wasn't kidding.
Glad you found Tina finally Wondering when are you fall down the Leo Moracchioli rabbit hole. His talent for music is unreal. I would suggest his Adel - Hello Metal cover. You won't regret it.
She started playing when she was 3, its amazing how fast she learns these songs. There are professional guitar players that have played for years that dot play a good as she does. Hopefully she starts doing video again when she finishes school.
speaking as a former professional juggler, I don't think it is a matter of her being nonchalant, she is in her zone doing something that is faster than a person's ability to consciously think about
Her expression shows she is IN the music, and not for show, but for perfection!
She's been criticized by viewers for not showing any emotion in her face, but what people don't realize is that not all people are like that and plus, it's rather obvious that Tina S. is an individual of extreme focus, commitment and discipline... Her emotion shines through her fingers...
I for one hope that she is alright and comes back one day to TH-cam...
No joy in her heart is what I see. Forced discipline seems to be the way her instructor and family wanted. Meal ticket. Dig deeper. More to her story.

Tina S. - Guitar Goddess, Shred Queen, Master of the craft.
We miss you Tina, come back to us.
Tina S is one if not the most talented guitar players ever. What I find amazing is she was playing like that as a teenager.
She has been classically trained since she was a child. She was taught by the fantastic French Guitarist Renaud Louis-Servais.
I really like what you said about looking up to pure talent like Tina, and that a girl who plays guitar doesn't have to show off her body to get clicks or anything. Hard work counts, not tricks to hide shortcomings.
I really hope that young girls will take more example from Tina than from the others, even if I don't really have hope ...
I think what floors me about this cover is that there are multiple points where she's playing and she'll spend an extended period of time not even looking at the fretboard as she's going off. That's some absolutely insane muscle memory and it's jaw-dropping to watch. I personally think my favorite cover of hers is Steve Vai's "For The Love of God", but she's absolutely incredible here too.
Yeah I'm leaning that way especially when she REALLY gets into it off on doing her own thing toward the end there. I mean she absolutely RIPS it!
Well said, good reaction. Yes a French prodigy, 17 in this video in 2016. . Some consider her the best. Classically trained since 6, switched to electric at 13. Last social media post was in 2018. Pretty much disappeared since then except she registered one person company in Nov/Dec 2020. A lot of speculation, most say she went to University, but no hard evidence. Welcome to Tina addiction !
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
@@yogajedi3337 true but rare are people who can
Play like this. So she way much more
@@Ulujmf think poor old yoga "boy" is somewhat jealous..!!!
Beethoven would have loved this! He was a rebel. In his day, piano music was methodical and played for the elite at parties where they could waltz to the rhythm. This would have been like showing up at the waltz and playing "Purple Haze". .. Which would have been great to see! 😎👍.
Tina S has captured all our hearts, just look at the millions of views for each song...this is greatness!
Yeah, he was the original Rocker! :)
Yes, Beethoven would have walked up to her and asked, “what is this devine instrument?
@@jeffostler9108
And then , how do I hook that fuzz box to my piano?
Your stupid comment shows your ignorance of the XVIIIth century music. Beethoven is vastly overrated by philistines like you.
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
Tina makes that guitar sing!! I love listening to all her covers. Good luck to her & her new band "Spin Twice"
Yes! Thank you!!! It's the skill and the music. The other stuff is often to distract from that you don't have the skill of musicians like her.
Some people say Beethoven's music is Metal before instruments used electricity.
I agree.
Bill and Ted 😄
Well heavy metal has always used classical, along with blues as it's foundation.
I've seen this video countless times and by far my favorite part is the last couple frames after she's done playing and she looks up at whoever's in the room and you can just see her eyes *blow up* with energy because she's *so* pumped by the run through, but then almost as quickly remembers to calm down again so that they can turn off the camera before she goes nuts over her performance.
It's *thaaaaat* feeling that's 10x more potent than the strongest drug that has artists, true artists, do what they do, and it's why everyone else loves art so much, because we get to be able to taste just the tiniest amount of that through their work
She looks up at her teacher Renaud. He is the one who filmed this video.
@@0ParisFrance Check Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original. He can be her teacher teacher.
@@yogajedi3337 hahaha Viossy is Italian and Tina is French ans her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais lives in the city next to Tina's. On all of Tina's videos there was written: Taught and filmed by her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais."
@@0ParisFrance Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and robotic playing the score whatever. She has produced nothing of value of her own, nor her teacher. On Tina video cover she respect and mention the original and Dr Viossy name. When you listen to the original version and know anything about music it's easy to hear Tina lacks dynamics and understanding what she is playing.
@@0ParisFrance Lol. Covers of Dr. Viossy pops up rapidly. Like this guy th-cam.com/video/NxnV-1LLa8w/w-d-xo.html. Is he faster than Tina? that is the apex of their musicality 😄
raw talent - with thousands of dedicated hours of practice
When she plays the world doesn't exist , she is so totally absorbed that she becomes the music .🇬🇧
What I love is that it's music. Not just notes. Awesome.
She started playing at age 6 or 8 on the classical guitar. So she has all those years of lessons and many many thousands of hours of playing. She is the best I have ever heard.
Yep.. she's incredible no doubt about it. AND she's BACK!
Beethoven would have a hard time hearing her, since by the time he was midway through his career he was deaf. But he would be fascinated by the way her fingers glided across the fretboard. A few of his masterpieces were written after he became deaf. She and a few other women should be held as idols for today's youth, but don't hold your breath. Great review, thank you.
Yes Bethoven would love it, because he was a real Rockstar himself at his time.
Thanks!
I've seen every one of Tina's videos. And I still keep coming back, why? Because I think she's the best female guitarist I've have ever seen. I love the comment that girls who like modern music, where the artist is average but uses celebrity to their advantage should of course be listened to, but not as an inspiration. Tina S is what girls & boys should aspire to be if they want to stand above the current musicians. Even if they cannot reach Tina's level, they would certainly learn more from learning bits of Tina's playing. Then they could use these bits to go in their own direction. I'm 55, I've played for 43 years, I will never have the natural gift that Tina has. I know talent when I see it, but this talent extraordinary.
"Tina S is what girls & boys should aspire to be if they want to stand above the current musicians."
You've missed the whole point of role models altogether. It ain't about being better than others, it's about being your best.
Congrats on 60K girl! While Moonlight Sonata is a tour-de-force, my favorite Tina S solo is her Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb Solo Cover. Tina was only 15 years old at the time. Astounding talent!
This is the best guitar playing ever! From anyone ever! GET THE WORD EVER!!!
It could have taken her several years to learn this piece.. Its ingrained in her! She is AMAZING! Her new band is Spin Twice!
Tina S's band, SPIN TWICE no longer exists ! Since June 2023 Tina has no longer produced anything, only 3 songs with the group Spin Twice. The singer and the musicians left. Singer Thomas Smagghe returned to his old band CHASING DAISY, without Tina S, and released a new song and video on TH-cam : CHEWBACCA.
Tina S, is one of the best guitarists out there. She is so talented.
Personally I think Beethoven was the greatest composer that ever lived. And Tina does him proud. I mean, how do you get that good? It's not just her playing, but the composition itself is pure brilliance.
How do you get that good? You're born with a very special gift a Savant gift, that's what. You can't teach what this girl does.
Love your reaction to Tina, and the fact you expressed zero negativity.
Her covers of "For the love of God" from Steve Vai and "The Loner" from (I think one of the most underrated guitarist) Gary Moore, are my favorite. All her over covers are insane too : "Master of Puppets" from Metallica, "Through the fire and flames" Dragonforce...
I love how she barely even looks at the neck of her guitar while she’s playing. That is priceless.
I have watched scores of people and their take on Tina. You, however, are the first to say how Tina is someone to look up to for aspiring young ladies and girls. Thank you for pointing that out. I believe Moonlight Sonata is her best cover. If you want to see her most moving cover, please watch Stephen Vie’s for the love of God.
I wonder what Steve really thought about her cover? Now I consider him the best player in the world... BUT Tina gives him a serious, VERY serious run when she goes off on her own a bit toward the end there and absolutely RIPS it. He's gotta be thinking like what I was thinking "Are you kidding me?".
Notice how many times she is playing with her eyes closed.
You cut off the end of the video where just after she finished she flashed that smile!!!
Would be nice to see her come back - amazing talent.
Her video got over 40 million views on the Tina S channel.
Never even thought about telling you about tina. She is one of not the best out there. That kid can shread Guitar!! Tina is just amazing!!!
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original is the one who is the great. Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.
@@yogajedi3337 You do not know that for fact so STOP stating your OPINIONS as FACT.
By now, years later, Tina just very well could be a GREAT writer or producer or arranger or conductor.
@@jamescurfman3284 Check her up, still NOTHING, but sure if you think an instrumentalist like Tina and thousands others as her are great, sure, lol.
@@yogajedi3337 YOU DO NOT KNOW FOR FACT THAT SHE CANNOT do any of those things. You are NOT her, so YOU do not get to tell anybody else what SHE is or is not capable of. So shut your hole.
There is no 'checking her up' because she clearly does not want to be checked on. Any attempt to do so would be a violation of her personal privacy, which is AT THE VERY LEAST UNETHINCAL, and could actually be ILLEGAL.
Just because she has not published anything with her name on it, does not mean she could not have ever written anything. It is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that she COULD have already or that she may in the future. If she did write but didn't publish, it could be stuck in some private journal in a storage unit for all that anybody knows.
There are many kinds of genius. She is obviously GREAT with guitar playing and so she is musical to at least some extent. Music affects the mind in ways that normal speech does not. You can look that up or ask anybody who knows a single thing about psychology.
TRY telling more people about everybody else when you can really only answer for yourself. You make yourself look like a fool for this dumb post of yours.
@@jamescurfman3284 OK, whatever you say, perhaps she now is composing works on the same level as Mozart, who knows.
I fully agree with you: showing off your body means your guitar skills are not enough to attract the attention you are looking for. Tina S is way beyond that level, no need to show off her body or make the guitar loop around her head or anything, her talent and skills speak louder than anything else. The beauty is in the music and I can't get enough of it.
Definitely an example for aspiring artists, who are not race horses so difficult to say what is the best (is it even relevant?), but after watching all the versions of that sonata I could find, no other guitar player comes close to Tina's level of beauty.
Tina is an amazing example of what dedication and hideous amounts of practice can accomplish. Even at such a young age, her skills were well beyond most professional guitar players. I hope she's out there somewhere melting faces, and living the good life.
she is dead
@@0ParisFrance I see nothing to confirm that, so confirm it if it's true. Otherwise you're just a faceless statement with nothing behind it.
@@dmwalker24 I see nothing to confirm that she is alive, show us !
@@0ParisFrance Well that's a steaming pile of horseshit you've got for an argument there. I'm not the one making claims, you are. I said, "I hope", not 'I know'. Come up with something better, or maybe go waste someone else's time.
Tina S. and you have something in common. You both are the best at what you do. Your channel and reactions rock.
Started playing when she was 4 or 5. This was her last posting on TH-cam. She just quit and went to University. She is French. You ask if Beethoven would like it....this is the 3rd movement, and this is how it is played on the piano, with this intensity. She was/is amazing. I think she was 16 when she did this and she would be in her early 20's now.
Everything is wrong ! She started at 6 years old, she played the Sonata at 17 and if she were alive she would be 22 years old. She never went to university !
@@0ParisFrance Whatever! Apparently English is your second language...you say she would be 22 now (if she were alive? do you know that she is not?) When I say early twenties, that includes 22. You say she started when she was 6 years old, no, that was when she began to study Classical Guitar with a teacher. She played prior to that. You say she never went to University, yet almost everyone other resource says she did. There are even pictures of her at University, but hey, maybe she was visiting someone, so I'll give you that one since there is no proof. So "Everything is NOT wrong". If you research at least do it honestly...
@@dalebuck7168 Ignore Research Videos. He's been trolling Tina for years. Last year his name was YT Investigations. He's the one that keeps spreading the rumor that she died.
@@johnhawkins_twa LOL, it's a bit hard for dead people to get a law degree, like Tina did last year.
@@0ParisFrance What on earth are you spewing?
Tina is not Dead. She has been at Uni since early 2017 studing law. I believe she got her law degree last year. She has put all her time and effort into her studies and had no time for YT. She rearranged her YT last year and updated her about section stating she now has agency but nothing since. But she isn't dead.
we all fell in love with Tina S the first time we saw her playing this piece of art! She is a genious and hopefully in the future we will see her again!
she is dead
@@0ParisFrance ignore him. he has been trolling Tina for years.
I was getting cramps in my fingers just watching her. I wish she still made videos.
For anyone who is interested, y'all should check out a young female guitarist from China who goes by the name YOYO. She is absolutely amazing! Both her talent and technique are mind bending, to say the least. Her cover of the Andy James piece, Angel Of Darkness, will set your brain on fire and was recorded when YOYO was only 9 years old. Tina S. is a real treat to watch/listen to, as well. Keep rockin' and stay heavy 🤘
You were so rite about her being a role model she is awesome
Hi, Carlie. Your reaction to this Beethoven piece interests me so much that I would like to hear what you would say about any or all the covers performed by her. In my opinion, not only do I regard her as a prodigy, but much more importantly, I regard her as a master of the instrument.
Indeed, as you say, she is the kind of person people should look up to...
You get this on all the right levels.
I've watched countless Tina S reaction videos and the average response has been dumbfounded speechlessness. Most of the time I've had to wait a full thirty seconds after the lightning speed guitar playing ceased before the reactor came to their senses enough to say something "brilliant" like, "Jeez, that was good wasn't it?" Actually, their silence spoke more eloquently about what they experienced than words ever could.
This is what I think happens to us while watching Tina S covers. Our brains begin to roast when 450 degrees of Tina S quadruple-speed guitar virtuosity is applied to them. We have to hit the stop button every thirty seconds to allow a cooling process to take place lest our brains sizzle out of control and melt.
Tina S is performing guitar shredding impossibilities right before our very eyes. Hence, our confusion. Tina S, in our minds, is just too dang young to be playing that good! The average person can't swallow the theory that practice alone got her to that level of amazingness. A gift from God? Probably. At least that's my view.
There have been two good Tina S reaction responses that caught my eye.
1. I think the "S" in Tina S stands for SPED UP!
2. "Watching Tina S play should be the easy part and her playing should be the hard part. But my experience was that watching her was the hard part because her playing appeared to be the easy part."
Weird. But true.
Afterthoughts.
Tina has been negatively accused of being emotionless while playing. Granted, she doesn't gush with emotion like your average rock guitarist but here are three reasons why she acts that way.
REASON 1. Tina S is NOT a rock guitarist. She's a classically trained guitarist. Notice how she has her guitar propped up on her left leg. Classical guitar style all the way. Classical guitarists are prim and proper and subdued on stage. Tina is probably mimicking the great classical guitarist Segovia's expression while playing not Angus Young's. By the way, Tina IS expressing emotion, it's literally pouring out of her instrument.
REASON 2. Tina is not performing on a rock stage with 30,000 lunatic fans expecting guitar virtuosity and gobs of emotion. She is performing in a simple studio with one cameraman as her audience. She doesn't need to perform rock star stunts like playing the guitar with her teeth, or setting it on fire, or biting off the heads of bats. She's just playing the damn thing! Better than anyone that I've ever seen.
REASON 3. The third reason why Tina isn't showing emotion is because what she's doing is easy. Yes, easy. How much emotion do you show while tying your shoe laces? Zero. Right? Why? Because tying your shoes is easy. You don't grimace and squint and bite your lower lip while tying your shoes because you don't need to and it would be weird if you did. Tina doesn't grimace and squint and bite her lower lip while shredding the guitar because she doesn't need to.
The end.
I couldn’t agree with you more and I will tell you why she doesn’t show almost no facial expressions cause she’s the one guitar player that you will see that her facial expressions and emotions go from her brain into her body through her fingers and onto the guitar that makes the noise Because I don’t know about you. I personally can feel her emotion through the guitar dislike when a singer sings, if they’re really good, you can hear their performance and the emotion through their voice same thing with Tina. You can hear her emotions through her guitar plain you don’t have to make facial expressions to be great , and she has absolutely mastered that for us.
Lol....that's a great reaction! Your face says it all. I've been following her for awhile....pretty amazing.
I am absolut shure, LvB love this Version. 🤘👍 Beethoven with E-Guitar
She was only 17 years old at the time, now check out through the fire and flames. She was 15 when she did that.
She was 17 and 4 months, and 15 and 11 months, or 16 less 1month.
she is a French prodigy , who start self teach guitare at 8 yo and in this video she is almost 17 so ............ only one world to define her a genius
I've probably watched this clip more than 100 times and I've watched tons of reactions. EVERYBODY is blown away by Tina S. She's extra extraordinary. Sadly ... I've recently heard that she passed away in a car accident. I hope that's not true but nobody has heard or seen her in years.
For the Love of God (you will never hear anything else like it), Altitudes (puts on her own inimitable & brilliant spin that will take you into outer space), The Loner (the loneliest Loner), but all of her stuff is good. You can go back to it a hundred times & it never get old. It's as close to magic as you can get.
Glad to hear from you again and see you commenting on Tina again. I hope that some day Tina starts letting us know more about her journey of the last several years. Would just be cool to know regardless if she puts out more content or not. That is kind of a lie as you know but I'm still going with that because most of us respect her that much. I'm not on Twitter anymore or any social media so you won't know who I am but I respect your continued dedication to keeping it real about Tina. To others: If you ever really get into Tina, many different things will start to occur in your mind, your heart and in your ability to truly know a joy of expression that very few musicians will ever know and certainly many fewer will ever be able to duplicate with her skill level. Thank you for letting me know you are still around. Respect.
@@mikem7579 Thanks for the comment! It made my day.
No offence but Dr Viossy who wrote the arrangement and played the original many years before her. No offence but Tina is a sheer instrumentalist and not much more.

This was Tina age 17, check out Tina age 15, Shred the hell out of the guitar in the cover of Trough fire and flames, Dragonforce cover. Hope she one day comes back and show off her amazing talent 👍
she is dead RIP
Shes hitting about 8 notes a second... *on average* including the very "slow" parts.
Shes probably up to 16 or maybe even 20 notes a second in the faster registers.
Its god damn superhuman.
She's unreal!!! You should absolutely check out her cover of "Through the Fire and Flames" (Dragonforce) as well as "For the Love of God" (Steve Vai).
Tina covered Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames and Herman Li's jaw basically dropped to the floor haha. Supposedly Tina went back to school to learn more and further her career. Hopefully we see more of her in the future though.
she is dead RIP
So if you've ever heard the song "The devil went down to Georgia " Tina met the devil and played this and got 5 golden guitars and a free ticket to heaven.
So impressed!
I've been playing, self taught, pre-teen.
I'm inspired.
I'm taking music theory.
From what I've read up about Tina and therefore from my understanding she started playing from the age of 6 and has received classical training from the get go. I'm sure I also read somewhere that her teacher is not only a French guitarist in his own right, but apparently he is a genius in his own right. Although, with respect to Tina I don't know that for sure. All I do know is that like everyone else, I know she is one incredibly talented musician.
Glad u got to experience this 🔥
Camera couldn't even pick up her fingers moving so fast lol
That girls just fu**ing insane. Havent seen this many times. I remember this philipine guy called chatreeo whos incredible guitar player aswell.
You know Eddie Van Halen is smiling down on that right there!
As a French, I would love to be as good as Tina one day cause she's just amazing, she left youtube to continue her studies, we didn't hear anything about her since she left I hope one day she'll come back with another cover as amazing as this one was !!
Quelles études, où ça, dans quelle section, pour combien d'années ???
Which studies, where, in which section, for how many years???
i have two daughters and why they're not into the music - selection, they are incredibly moves by Tina's talent. One daughter, an artist - painting - has been so inspired by the song and f the hard work, she as had took at Tina that she's my daughter deep into studies and practice in her own art. So It's incredible that she's driven in and practice to the be the best. that she can be Thanks for showing this and 'letting me pass it to her, we'll see, but I have high hopes that it rubs off.
She can't have just vanished off the face of the earth, someone knows where she is and what she is doing now, Why she isn't in a metal band I don't know, crazy, She can't have given the guitar up surely, She is INCREDIBLE. I'm a huge Metal fan and classic music on electric guitar is killer remember the Great Kat. You should react to The Great Kat " Beethoven Mosh Beethoven 5th symphony in C minor. Bang that head.
she is dead RIP
After a few moments of listening to this young lady, Beethoven would slam his hands on the keyboard and say "Okay, fine! I quit! You Do it! I'm done!" And then he would sit back and enjoy the show, just like the rest of us!
First time reaction videos to Tina S are the best. I’d love to see re-action videos to other first time reaction videos, I think that would be fun to also see. @JustJen first time seeing was as fun as this one.
Guitarist Herman li, reacted to her on TH-cam and said she was the best of all covers. He also says when he don't want to play the song no More she could take his place and he wasn't kidding.
Here is the good message for all who were waiting... she's back with her band SpinTwice and their EP Gravity❤
Tina S new band - Spin Twice new EP available on iTunes September 1,2023. GRAVITY
That might be THE best guitar video ever.
This is the last video on her channel posted five years ago. No one knows why she stopped or what she's doing at the moment. She has quite a legacy.
she is dead
Pure magic
7 notes per second, and did NOT miss one note in the whole performance. Muscle memory, hardly needs to look at the fretboard.
Glad you found Tina finally
Wondering when are you fall down the Leo Moracchioli rabbit hole.
His talent for music is unreal. I would suggest his Adel - Hello Metal cover. You won't regret it.
She started playing when she was 3, its amazing how fast she learns these songs. There are professional guitar players that have played for years that dot play a good as she does.
Hopefully she starts doing video again when she finishes school.
speaking as a former professional juggler, I don't think it is a matter of her being nonchalant, she is in her zone doing something that is faster than a person's ability to consciously think about
Tina S is such an inspiring guitar player. She inspired me to pick up my guitar and throw it in the trash.
NO. Tina interview : "For me, the guitar is a game."
"Anyone can do it, as long as you put your heart into it."
