Yes she is fast but it's how clean she plays. Every note is hit to perfection. That's greatness.

Note that doesn’t miss a note and the whole video is shot in ONE Take. No redoing, no fixing mistakes. She hardly looks at her guitar. Perfection is beautiful.

She's 17 in this video. She started playing classical guitar at the age of 6 in France. Since Eddie died she's my favorite guitarist. All her covers are amazing, but my next favorite is Steve Vai's 'For the Love of God'. She quit posting videos after this one and disappeared from social media. She's supposedly in college and we all hope she returns soon. She also puts her own style on her covers so they're rarely note for note, and you'll notice she rarely looks at the fret board. Hope you're now a member of her fan base and subscribe to her site.

Her name is Tina Setkic.She's is knowing for playing very complicated arrangements and guitar solo's and hardly missing a note ever. Many experts saying that she is extremely talented and even better than some of "the established" ones.

I love how you said, " She must've been playing 20 years." She's 15 in this video from what I've read.

This was an average of seven notes per second for six minutes straight, she didn't miss a single note...not one. 😎🎸

Tina is a classically trained guitarist that rarely if ever gets mentioned when people are discussing who the best guitarists in the world are. It’s quite obvious that to achieve Tina’s skill level requires absolute dedication, the self discipline, sacrifices, and the commitment to the hours it takes to achieve her level of skill and mastery. IMO, every performance by her is a virtuoso one. She is highly respected by some of the best known guitarists in the world. It’s a shame that the world hasn’t seen her perform in years. I have no idea what happened to cause her to stop putting out videos of her jaw dropping performances. I hold out hope that one day we will get to see her perform again.

You are right, THIS IS INSANITY! I am pretty sure at one point during that performance some of the fingers on her left hand became detached and were operating independently of the rest of her hand. 😆 As amazing as her left hand is, I think her right hand is even better. The speed and precision of her picking is mind boggling!

I believe that she was voted as and is considered as being the best female guitar shredder on the planet.

She covered "Through the fire and flames" from Dragonforce. A Must see

Ive been playing guitar for 20 years and she was 17 when she did this, puts things into perspective:)What impressed me the most was her sweeps, completely flawless.

Tina S. Dragonforce "Through the Fire and Flames" is a MUST SEE!

Eddy Van Halen was the king of the two hand finger-tapping , she’s the Queen.

Every great guitar player will dream to play like her at her age. This is above virtuosity.

No slight of hand just an incredible talent.

There are good musicians, then there are those who have talent, there are virtuosos who master an instrument, a score, there are pridiges. and above those, there are those who are unclassifiable, of which Tina Setkit is a part just like Beethoven. The third movement of the Moonlight Sonata is a technical tornado that doesn't intimidate Tina Setkit! Her interpretation of "for the love of god" speaks volumes about her abilities as well as the message she wants to convey. Undoubtedly, it is a remarkable being also for her beliefs. Huge respect.

Playing for 20 years ? She's only 17 here... And I'm classically trained; she didn't miss a note from the original piano piece

Besides the few clips focusing on her earlier development as a guitarist, all the major covers Tina has put on KZfaq, as I understand, were performed between the ages 13 to 17!

She does a lot of covers. ❤

Hope we'll see her coming back to us with new music. LOVE that you don't fake or hide anything as always. Stay safe

If the sky is the limit, Tina S left outer space. She is the Jeanne D'Arc of guitar shred ;-)

She is an amazing musician. Been doing it since a baby practically.

Someone cloned Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Eddie van Halen, Tony MacAlpine and Steve Vai, put the genes together and created this girl. Daaaammnn!!

she is a legend.....

She makes that instrument sing!

4:47 - thats called muscle memory. You can train that. But still - that precision is mesmerizing

She is feeling the music.

Eddie Van Halen was a Genius But I've never seen anything like Tina SETKIC I love her I hope she comes back I'm 69 don't wait too longBless you guys

great reaction! My personal favs are her cover of steve vai, 'for the love of god' and Altitudes by jason becker. Both must see! She is really mindblowing!

Eddie Van Halen may have perfected guitar tapping, but Steve Hackett of Genesis was doing it way before him.

My same reaction, BOOM!! totally blew me away, yes all in one take, been trying to play this for a while, may never even get close, just narrowed it down to a few sections, Tina is remarkable!

in answer to your question about the two-hand-tapping......Eddy van Halen was one of the first who made this technic more populair with the band Van Halen.......stay safe....

If you she can play that she can play anything !!!! Great video HXC !!! 🎼🎶🎵🎼.

Eddie Van Halen was quick and very good But I've never seen anybody like Tina SETKIC She's got alien blood I love herI hope she comes back I'm 69 don't wait too long Bless you

Welcome to the Tina S FAN club, bro.. You'll be hardcore fan soon..

Ohhhh what a rabbit hole you've jumped into! ENJOY!

Jason Becker used to play this as a warm up exercise! He was unreal!

It's so easy for her...she looks like she's thinking about what's for lunch while playing.

That's a combination of passion , talent and dedication ..

if you think this her playing FAST.. you need to check tina s cover of dragonforce through the fire and flames...

Give the credit to the guitar withstanding all this virtuoso stuff and not falling apart... lol She is the best in the world!!!

Cool you got to see this! She was really young when this was filmed! 17 or 18 I believe. Amazing playing though!!

@7:04 - This is probably the best right hand picking ever seen. Legendary.

Wow! Lost for words 🙌🏼 🎸

Tina S is the closest thing to perfection we will EVER see.

Check-out more Tina covers please !

Its hard to listen that fast much playing it, Tina...RESPECT!

She has a vid showing her from 8 to 18 practicing. This sonata is 2420 notes btw

Amazing talent out there.

👏👏👏👏👌very good Talented Thanxxx🙏😇🌎❣🧜‍♀️🙏

I think she uses this song as her warm up practise before playing the really hard ones...

Her and the dooo need to colab, if they haven't already! Highly you should check him out too... the dooo shreds on a banjo my favorite

probably my favorite music video, i've seen it 50 times and it never gets old, your reaction is the norm, jaw dropping at the talent... tina s. is a phenom, at the age of 8 she did eddie van halen's eruption and had 4 million views in 1 week. but not only is this an extremely difficult rendition, she does it in one take! and flawlessly, no tricks here, this is master shredding of the highest degree. tina's a bit of a mystery tho, not much is known about her, and she stopped posting mid 2016, and there's no video of her performing (anywhere) since.

I heard that right after this recording, the guitar burst into flames.

A few days ago I discovered Accept with their version of The Moldau. Yesterday it was RockMilady covering Hallelujah. Today this. The world can´t be a bad place.

Best comment I saw on the original vid was "I've been playing the guitar for 20 years and watching this has finally given me the motivation to take up accountancy" Lol

I think its just called "tapping" (that bit that you asked about): fingerstyle is an instrumental guitar version of a song where the usually sung notes are picked on the guitar aswell as the general chord progression behind it and all the fingers are used throughout pretty much...(then theres finger-picking which pretty much means non-plectrum picking patterns but it isn't about a song being soley instrumental or anything its just a way of playing)

EVH would love her!

I am not an expert in guitar, but for me personally, she is the best guitarist! Tina S !

10 stops during the guitar solo! World record !!! It would be more respectful for the artist to make the comments at the end ...

Insanity definitely One of the best ever yngwie malmsteen would be proud of her

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

This performance is to Tina S as I Put A Spell On You is to Angelina Jordan. Unbelievably Awesome!!!

Loved your reaction!❤❤❤❤

First time hearing. This young lady don't play music the music plays her.

There is no way to really know who started “tapping” on the fret of their guitar. It is a technique that has been in classical and flamenco guitar since at least the 1950s, if not before. Eddie VanHalen made it popular in the early 1980s thanks to MTV videos.

I'm laughing so hard..... Your mouth only closed when you made the stankface. The rest of the time, OPEN. 😂😂😂😂 MUCH LOVE to you 💙💛💙

Dragon force!!! After this dragon force drum Cover from junna!! 🙌

If Beethoven were alive it would be like,,, Damn girl you not only played my music you read my mind.

20 years? LOL! She was 17!

Thank you for the like!

Thanks for this .... I am in Awwww

Good reaction, thank you. Greetings from Ukraine)

She was 17 when she did this 😳😳😳

🤩🤯

This is a perfectly performed and absolutely flawless rendition of this song.

PagaTina S! Probably addicted to practicing and progressing! Insane precision and coordination! I have always been deeply impressed by her (and very jealous)! But I would love to hear her play a slow, expressive and emotional solo!

Look at her cover of For the love of god, by Steve Vai.

I miss Tina .

Why is it fast ? Because Beethoven called the 3rd Movement "Presto Agitato".

From your playlist you have two connections Tina S. & Joe Bonamassa who point to Stevie Ray Vaughn, check out srv.

Please check out her Through fire and flames cover. It's incredible!

Eddie Van Halen made tapping popular with the his mastery of the technique. You should do a reaction to his "Eruption" guitar solo from the 1986 "Live Without a Net" concert.

Who knew that Beethoven would be relevant in today's world?!

I've watched many other Tina S reaction videos and the average response is dumbfounded silence. 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 the average non guitar playing viewer while watching Tina S. 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 and melt. Tina S is performing diabolically difficult 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 was one good Tina S reaction that got my attention. "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. Probably her mom. 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 am pretty sure that she is a savant. Like Mozart. Watch the Amadeus movie. There you can see the same. If someone asked her to play the same thing backwards, she would possibly do it just as flawlessly.

I have searched for a long time to find out about Tina. In the past, I have read that she was studying law, medicine, music and now engineering. None of that could I verify. (haven't yet tried to verify the engineering claim, but no schools are ever mentioned) I was beginning to think that she had died and someone else was getting the revenue from her YT channel. Then someone on YT wrote that she had a band and had played the Egg London Nightclub. What do you know! www.bandsintown.com/a/8298139-tina-s?came_from=257& As of now, France is still in lock down but, at least thru December 28, 2019, she was alive and kicking! Yay! And playing! Double yay!

She is currently 22, dob 4/7/99 and is French

A worthy opponent of Marcin Patrzałek :)

Oddly, something about her playing reminds me of Brian May. Maybe it's just the tone or the picking weight, but there is definitely something.

She Hass been playing guitar for 13 yes

That is fast! At some point i thought it was fast forwared, but looking to her hair (?) I could see it wasn't... unbelieveble...

You should check out Marcin Patrzalek Toxicity, Luca Stricagnoli Thunderstruck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan With out You, if want to that is.

The technique she is using with her right hand on the neck is called tapping, I don’t know if he was the first for sure, but Eddy Van Halen is known for it.

For something a little slower but perfect check her cover of Gary Moore, The Loner.

All that from a 16-17 year old ( at the time ). Its all muscle memory after intense practice (As a piano player, I understand lol) Her 'For the love of god' Steve Vai cover is great too. Gives you the chills sometimes. If you want to check out other great guitarists, check out Gus Drax (His Jason Becker-Altitudes cover is great) and TheDooo.

😱😱😱😱😱🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

She practices 40 hrs a day 12 days a week thats why she is the god of guitars

If you are legitimately interested in how she does it and how she has gotten to that point, there is a compilation video of her progress: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rL6fp8eZktTbcYk.html

It's one thing to sit and Play , it's another thing to jump and run bent over backwards ,and play live . Check out HaL - CA of Asterism she's a Deadly Shredder , she invited Bucket Head to play a couple of songs on their album .she was Sixteen ,you want to see fast , she's faster .🎸🎸🎸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
