A classical conductor analysed this clip and he said she didn't miss a note, and on average she wa playing 7 notes per second, in the whole 6 minutes she played 2,420 perfect notes without missing a single one..... We miss you Tina, maybe one day you'll come back.

you know she's good just listening to her but when Steve Vai congratulates her it means she's fantastic.

Also notice that it’s a one shot video. No breaks, no new angles. She just played it like it was a live performance. Amazing!

1:37 Tom says "I'm ready", 1:49 Tom's jaw hits the floor. 😂😂

You need to watch her play For The Love of God by Steve Vai

Tina is a youtube treasure.

She was 17 years at the time. A beautiful and magnificent music composed by a genius and played by another genius. Sometimes, GOD shows how wonderful and beautiful of creation that we human can be.

It's that little smile at the end that always gets me. Yep...nailed it 😋😋😋

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.

This is the third, quick part of the Moonlight Sonata. It gets its name from the slow first part. It was very popular even during Beethoven's lifetime. As you can hear he was a rocker even then. What makes Beethoven so extraordinary is his deafness. He lost his hearing around his mid-40s and still continued to compose masterpieces.

If Beethoven had found the guitar section in the store instead of the keyboard section in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

As a 17 years old, she is the best guitarist person ! Second to none.

Hallo, her perfomace of Steve Vai, Gary Moore or Vivaldi are amazing too.

she is flawless, mind blowing arrays of technique.

I love watching reactions to Tina S ...before the reaction, they didn't know they pulled the trigger for a rocket launch ...3 2 1 zero, lift off! ...and the acceleration of complexity just increasing while realizing 'we just reached outer space' ...wtf is going on xD

Unfortunately, Tina S has 'disappeared' from the net. A real shame as she is phenomenal. A true prodigy.

You WERE NOT ready! She is just brilliant.

She was 17 in this video. She began guitar at age 6. She's playing the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, not a symphony, but a piano composition. The first movement is very familiar and everyone knows that. This movement is not as familiar.

It doesn't matter which Tina S video you react to next. My personal favourite is For The Love of God, a Steve Vai cover. Personally I prefer to watch her over Steve Vai.

Your faces in this were priceless xD Expectedly so, she is incredible! Also, your comments on point as usual. ♥

It's not boredom...its 1,000s of hours of practice! She had been playing and practicing daily since she was 3 years old....a true prodigy. As was noted by others she went off to college however she dropped off KZfaq because of all the haters, if you can believe that. Also, some classical pianists have said that she didn't miss a note!

Hey Tom ! She's back on track with a band ! Just got the news ! 🤗🤗🤗

Watching this young woman makes you re-evaluate whether you ever "played guitar" if that's what she's doing :)

It still amazes me that there are rock fans out there who haven’t seen this.

Time for another Tina S reaction, methinks! Jason Becker's Altitudes, please 😊

There are guitar teachers who reacted to her: "I can't do that".

You thought you were ready! 😂🤘🏻

This original video has over 36-million views. THIS is Michael Romeo level stuff right here. Total mastery of the instrument.

I like this I love the reaction!! New subscriber!…

This is the epitome of guitar playing.

Tom: "I'm ready" Me: "No, You're not"

I developed arthritis in my hands just by watching this. Insane skills!

You should watch her cover of Dragonforce Through the Fire and Flame. Herman Li does a reaction video of her playing his song - and is wowed. She is so good. I miss her.

Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement - YES!. Her cover of Dragonforce "Through the Fire and Flames".... I can relate to your hand problems. What-if, eh? "Clockwork Orange" - Nuthin' like a bit of Ludwig Van, eh?

I want to add - Best young guitarist. Not female guitarist... ;)

Watching her for the first time with her playing this sonata is like going to an old fashioned revival meeting, The both make you want to stand up and yell "JESUS!"

Watch her cover of For The Love of God. The feels man. Brings tears to my eye every time.

Been following Tina for years. She is a true prodigy. It’s a gift from the Almighty. Don’t forget, Jimi Hendrix was 14 when he started playing Guitar.

This is her last video, recorded in August 2016, she was 17 years old. R.I.P Tina S.

Every great guitarist would dream to play like her @17

She has the talent to be the best guitarist period man or female.

The best cover of tina shes amazing girl.

For me, apart from Moonlight sonata her best covers are Tornado of souls and Becker's Altitudes. Jason Becker (while he had a YT channel) congratulated her.

Hey, you really need check out Tina Setkic Dragon Force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old, awesome thanks 😀

You should react to her cover of Through fire and flames from Dragonforce… Herman Li himself reacted to it: « shit » « fuck » « she killed it… » then send an open invitation for her to join them on stage whenever she wants…

One word: YEP!

Really surprised after your great reaction that you've never featured Tina again, Tom...She's got some brilliant stuff on KZfaq...sadly all those years ago

Before listening to this Dr VIOSSY cover by Tina, you should have listened to the original classical piano version, and then the Presto Agitato version by Valentina Lisitsa !!

This is insane, in a very good way. I thought my favourite female guitar player was Orianthi but it's ok to have more favourites than one, right?

And she did not miss a note!!

Great technique to be turned into music

The fact that Beethoven wrote this shit so long ago is unbelievable. I love the classical notes with the electric guitar 🔥🔥🔥

0 mistakes, 7 notes per sec on average for 6 mins, 17 years old at the time, absolute virtuoso

please do her other cover too, Dragonforce - Through Fire and Flames thats awesome^^

Please, react to the Tina S cover of Altitudes, by Jason Becker I have been watching Altitudes at least once a day for the past months, to give you an idea what you have been missing out on so far :) Even in slow motion the pace of it is impressive! To be clear: I mean the Tina S cover of Altitudes, not Jason Becker. Becker complimented her for it!

Tina began to play classical guitar at 8 and switched to electric guitar at 13. She made this video at 17 after working 2 months on the tune during her summer holidays. Right after this video, she stopped posting and disappeared. Many will say she worked hard and that's obvious... but hard working doesn't explain all : she is an absolute prodigy.

Yep. ;D

TOM, Tina was born on April 7, 1999 and she recorded in August 2016, so she was 17 !

Speed up classical music, what you get???.... METAL!!!!

Ever listened to Yoyoka. See her drum cover of Burn by Deep Purple. Epic.

1M thumbs up for tina...

During her playing she sometimes has this look like that she is wondering if she put the laundry in the machine. And that smirk at the end she realises, yes, I put it in the machine.

Tom, check out a few other Tina S incredible guitar playing video covers. - Steve Vai - For the Love of God, Steve Vai - Paganini 5th Caprice (Crossroads), Megadeth - Tornado of Souls, Jason Becker - Altitudes, Iron Maiden - The Trooper, Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Yngwie Malmsteen - Arpeggios From Hell, Vivaldi Tribute (Patrick Rondat), Van Halen - Eruption

No, you only thought you were ready.

She is a virtuoso. She hasn’t played publicly for many years.

Her name is Tina Setkic, she is French, and she is currently a mystery. She exploded onto the KZfaq scene and this performance was her last upload. Since then nobody knows whatever became of her. Various rumors range from that she quit uploading because of trollish comments, or she quit to concentrate on a university education, or even that she has since died as a result of some accident. Nobody knows but everyone who has heard this remarkable talent wishes that she would make a KZfaq comeback.

Tina Setkic 🎸💪

It's always fun to see someone who hasn't even _heard_ of her before go alternately slackjawed and grinning like a fool at what they're watching.

2:03 I love how offended you look lol

she needs to go onto The Juilliard School of Music. Wow, very impressive. I think she has to have taken some Classical Training from somebody very good also

Yngwie: "O.k, yeah, ...it's about time I er, ...retired!"

Take a Look to Beethovens 5th or 9th Symphony, important base for all modern music

11:00 I’m ready. 2 secs later…. NOONE is ready for Tina S. No one.

I think Beethoven just rolled over!

Tina is currently concentrating on her studies at the moment, she is studying to become a lawyer in France.

She is like Yngwie Malmsteens offspring. Very cool. If she had one more hand she would be checking her Facebook at the same time lol.

"I'm ready"... well are you really sure you were ? 😉

if you want to understand, look or react on Tina S 8 years of practice

She makes your brain break.

The best part is this was written 240+ years ago

Ecstacy

Her fingers looks like Mexican wave sometimes :D

she's alive, back as of sept 2023 and here is another channel where the mytho-stlaker "0parisfrance" didn't get back to erase his comments, lol

Another excellent guitarist with a different style is Marcin Patrzalek. You should check him out, e.g. playing Paganini's Caprice no. 24: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNOSkptklq_TZ6s.html or Beethoven's 5th symphony: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbuRpcuozdWUlmw.html

For the Love of God That is all I am going to say

Best Female guitarist for sure, but hey female or male ,it doesn,t matter Tina is in the TOP 5 best guitar players ever.

try Tina S covering Dragon Force

It is said she was trolled on KZfaq and after this Video she closed her KZfaq channel, but it was not just the haters, she went to Collage to studie, cannot remember what but passed with flying colours, as far as I know Music is still a big part of her life.

Ya, take the word "Female" out of your title for this video and you finally have it right. Nuff said!!

also her cover of dragon force is funny when you see her chew a gum

Wow started watching you for the Nightwish reactions. Have listened to Tina S KZfaq posts for years. She is a true prodigy. Here is a video called 8 years of practice starting when she was six !! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL6fp8eZktTbcYk.html

I don't think there is a metalhead out there who doesn't know this girl anymore. And if you don't, shame on you, but now you know her. 😁 The girl is scrubbing the cornea off her fingers.😁 If she makes mistakes, these are not noticed, because she is also about 5 times faster than the original. Something briefly sounded wrong twice. But I can also be wrong. Went too fast. 😁

At the start .. you say "i am ready" My thought was... Nah you are not

She averages 7 notes per second for the entire 6 minutes of this piece!!

She is really really good, as far as i know she just disappeared from youtube, i don't think anyone knows what happened to her...

😂😂😂 Knockout en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_S info about her

Why add word symphony?

This version has been around for 10 years on KZfaq, created by Dr VIOSSY in 2011!

Regarding perfection and this performance. It's extremely good but as someone who plays classical guitar casually. I can hear a few minor spots where the sound could have been cleaner (some runaway distortion). But overall this performance is impressive.

You were close, she started at 6yrs old and played this at 17 yrs old.
