this young guitarist has the greatest talent of all guitarists past and present. The speed, the clarity the musicality. she is the greatest the world ever has.
honestly if you played for 3 years and you haven't tried improving and you just do the same easy stuff that is probably holding you back i recommend that you try focus more improving if you wanna be good
Awesome Austin527 In the mid to late 80s you couldn't be considered a metal shredder unless you could play Pagani. That was also when rockers discovered what tendonitist is.
Paganini, a composer who delighted in writing the hardest stuff in the world to play for the guitar and violin. My hats off to this guitarista. Very difficult piece, played flawlessly.
This girl is just a guitar goddess! what a superb interperetation. Love the way she plays so close to the bridge. It must be wonderful to play at such level. Still I'll give this piece a try in a few months... Shouldn't take me more that 20 years to learn it .... ;-).
Thank you TH-cam Algorithm, this is an incredible performance on the guitar irrespective of the genre or style of music. It is playing of the highest order.
This girl is amazing!!!!! To get every note so clear at this speed, wow...... just blows me away. The only version I've heard that is arguably better is Nicola Hall's, which is the same speed but more expressive. Either way, I would give anything to be one tenth as good as this.
+LiwaywaySaGubat : No, the other version is not better. Su Meng's version is more fluent and without extra pauses forced by technical roadblocks (Su Meng can do that because her technique is superb). It is true that the other version may have a better recording quality but if we talk about the guitar execution, Su Meng's version is nothing short of amazing.
Su Meng began practicing at the age of 5 with great teachers. She never quit or did anything else with her passions. she just perfected classical guitar, until she became one of the best in China and now the World.
Paganini on violin isn’t like easy either soo this a whole other level Edit: Both are respected and difficult in it's own way. The different techniques and sound make them both beautiful and unique. Also I feel very cool for having all these likes and comments that started a healthy debate so thank you. It actually cheered me up a bit
As someone who plays both, they’re both hard in their own way. You can’t compare them. Violin is hard in the bowing and intonation since it’s not a fretted instrument. Guitar is harder because it’s actually super hard to pluck that fast, and you’re playing chords, so hand position changes have to be accurate and fast.
Holy sh&%! That's all I can really think to say. How old is this girl? She sounds like she's been playing for 20,000 hours, but she doesn't look that old... Really impressive! And who the heck "thumbs-down" this?
Добра вам! Очень рад слушать такое качественное исполнение, ты молодец! Я тоже играю классику, Моцарт, Вивальди, Бетховен, Чайковский и другие хорошие композиторы, поэтому я понимаю что говорю! Всего хорошего тебе! Нас много таких, стремящихся к возвышенному. Так держать!
Probably one of the hardest piece to play on classical guitar... And it looks like she played it without much effort . Those beautiful harmonics tremolo muted notes Awesome
My wife is a really incredible guitarist and can memorize pieces on the instrument very quickly... So once, when we were teens, I had had a particularly bad day and couldn't sleep that night. So, knowing how much I love classical music, she learned this piece and sat next to my bed playing it all night until I fell asleep. I can't listen to it without getting a little teary-eyed now.
Fried Sosij since I’m white, I was born with 3 fingers per one finger. It’s a trait we have had since Bach, franz liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, and currently trifonov Hahaha.
Not bad...but it still can't beat my ukelele version. Now, seriously, this rendition is superb. I have no idea about music, but everytime I hear another guitarist playing this piece, it pales in comparison. And I just don't know why! Su Meng, thanks a lot.
In the sixty or so years I have listened to many hundreds, if not thousands of players. This ranks number ONE in my top three. I dearly wish that Su will come to Scotland so I may be blown away by her incredible virtuosity! Please Su, come here to Scotland....
That was so sonically spectacular and so brilliantly as well as masterfully executed , wondrous to see and hear nobody plays anything like that without spending hours and hours of playing and dedicated attention to every detail. Bravo to you . It got my standing ovation as well as my respect for you as a wonderful performer A very difficult piece played by a masteress
Des années et des milliers d'heures de travail passionné sont requis simplement pour contrôler toutes les techniques de la guitare avant d'en faire de la musique. Chapeau bas ! Bravo !
I don't even want to think of how many hours it takes to learn this, let alone perfect it like Su did. She killed it, and she made it look easy. I'm jelly.
she in one song did more than i have done in over 20 years of trying to play the guitar..i say she was fantastic her crib was probably a guitar case!!!
+vrumako I doubt that saying that 10,000 hours will make anyone a virtuoso If that were true how does one explain Mozart Or all those who devoted their lives to music and got nowhere
You play with amazing clarity at that speed. I wonder if I'll ever achieve your skill at the guitar. After watching this, I might as well break my guitar over my head and switch to the tambourine. Now I know it wasn't the Devil looking over Paganini's shoulder, telling him which notes to play - It was you! Too bad I've only just now found this video.
Realmente eres espectacular en la guitarra que mostro te felicito de verdad en ti vive el estilo de paganini... Que linda obra y que hermosa ejecución perfecta de verdad... Un abrazo soy tu fans...Jeff666
처음 온화한 얼굴표정에서 호감을 느꼈고, 빠른 속도에도 불구하고 군더더기하나없이 음 하나하나 세밀하고 풍성하고 정확하게 나타내주는거에 감탄했으며, 본인의 곡에대한 해석과 감성을 아낌없이 담아 내는것에는 경의를 표합니다. 앞으로도 꾸준히 음악적 성취를 통해 이 시대를 대표할만한 연주자로 자리매김 하시기를 바랍니다.
Wow! I have been looking for a song and travel through a lot of videos. But HOLY HELL BALLS ...THIS IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL... I hope wherever you've gone, it's to make more people hear and see you!
The first 16 measures I thought: "It's fast, but I could definitely do it, no problem, with a little practice, because I'm a talented classical guitarist." Two seconds after that, when I saw the speed of the position shifts she did, I knew what had to be done. I picked up my guitar, which is not a cheap guitar, mind you. Four figures, FYI. I took a last glance at it, and then, with a swift ninja-like motion, I smashed it to the ground. After that, I went out in my backyard, lit up a bonfire, burned the remains of the guitar until all that was left were ashes. Finally, I called upon the god of Azxes'Cha'chezcktou'cztanerd, with a cantation my hungarian grandmother had taught me that made me forget everything I've ever known about playing the guitar, since I just realised there's no point playing anymore. And I've never looked back. Who are you again, and what the fuck are you talking about?
Não tenho as palavras certas para exprimir minha admiração. Nunca vi nem ouvi nada igual. O mínimo que posso dizer é parabéns pela magistral interpretação dessa jovem, que deveria servir de exemplo para todos
Amazing performance. Been listening to and playing classical guitar for 54 years, so I know what I'm hearing....and how difficult the piece is to play.
She could walk house to house and say “I’ve come to collect your guitar...it deserves better....” “Here you go...have a nice day...sorry I had to make you come get it...”
This is insane. It's like a a scientist went mad and created a robot, specifically programmed to play anything he wants it to on guitar. He gets drunk one day and thinks, "uhhhh...oh sh*t! ......how about like, Paganini's Caprice 24, maaan! C'mon, let's see it brooooo!"
Seeing that this is the level I could theoretically speaking reach if I just keep practicing makes me real motivated. Y’all better cut it out with the “talent” shit. Fuck talent, it’s work, work and some more work.
I feel as if this is the cleanest performance I've ever heard of this piece on guitar. Quite remarkable.
Definitely one of the cleanest performances, for sure.
"you feel" It's not important what you feel.
this young guitarist has the greatest talent of all guitarists past and present. The speed, the clarity the musicality. she is the greatest the world ever has.
This really motivated me to stop playing guitar!
If the success of others doesn’t motivate you than yes you should.
No dont stop its only the begginning for her do what you love
honestly if you played for 3 years and you haven't tried improving and you just do the same easy stuff that is probably holding you back i recommend that you try focus more improving if you wanna be good
@@strategygaming5830 well that's just the WORST advice
Same.
I started playing guitar to shred in a metal band, but forget metal, i wanna play Paganini now
metal takes a lot from classical, they're related. I enjoy both forms of music, though I listen to more classical on average.
Paganini has been called the worlds first rock star.
Same

Thank you TH-cam Algorithm, this is an incredible performance on the guitar irrespective of the genre or style of music. It is playing of the highest order.
best part is her face at the end like "hell yeah, take that"
I saw someone play this with less notes and gained more than 2M views...
But this girl is far best I've heard in TH-cam play this Caprice

Try the version by also a Chinese player uploaded by user ricobico.... That one's better. I think they're in the same group of musicians in China.

that was the first time I've seen someone play a Paganini piece on the classical guitar. And with such proficiency. Incredible.
Paganini was actually an accomplished guitar player as well as a violinist.
😃🤙🏽
I don’t think this lady knows just how great that was....!!
effortless playing. if Paganini is alive he will be proud. well done
Still one of my favourite performances of this piece, amazing composition and clarity. Thanks for keeping it up all these years.
To perform this on stage is just incredible, and so well , her composure is breathtaking
Добра вам!
Очень рад слушать такое качественное исполнение, ты молодец!

excellent !!! jouer caprice 24 à la guitare de cette façon c est tout simplement époustouflant !!!
Was just about to practise. I think I will put my guitar away now lol.
instead plug in and get some effects. maybe a ring modulator
opposite. I wasn't going to practice. no I need to practice twice

Absolutely breathtaking! Brought tears to my eyes!
Sometimes, it seems like she had more than 5 fingers in her left hand
One feels that a pianist has more 2 hands sometimes
Asian like me naturally are born with 2 fingers in each one of our fingers
She only has 4 fingers on each hand
Plus a thumb on each one also
Fried Sosij since I’m white, I was born with 3 fingers per one finger. It’s a trait we have had since Bach, franz liszt, Chopin, Beethoven, and currently trifonov Hahaha.
Maravillosa interpretación de esta dama, una fuera de serie, gracias !!!
This is the best performance of this piece ..she made it sound like this paganini piece was meant for aclassical guitar and not for a violin .
perfect!!!!!!!!!
Show 👏👏👏

Obviously she can play it slowly.
That's why she can play it quickly.
Zac Wong fuck no
this is slow for caprice 24
the tone quality of her instrument and technique is lush and satisfying....well played and finely recorded
look at the finger marks on the fretboard..damn.

Jesus her fingers have machine-like precision.
and at the same time, an eerie fluidity to them. no energy wasted.
