A classical pianist once said of this clip, "Tina doesn't miss a single note, this is the most perfect rendition I've ever heard that is not played on a piano"... high praise indeed.

We all hope she returns soon

I was wondering how a video of Piano Sonata 14 could only be 12:20 long. It is very cool to see it play on guitar. This song is so complex that it still amazing that it was written by a deaf guy 220 years ago.

her cover of steve vai "for the love of god" is amazing.

She was 17 here. She's been playing since she was 6. She quit so that she could go to business school, from which she recently graduated.

As a guitar player myself we generally memorize entire songs note for note. I don't even know how to read sheet music I just learn a song by ear and that's always worked for me. I can't speak for every guitar player but after practicing for countless hours you just know the movements to a song. You don't think you just do it. You're essentially on autopilot and nothing else exists but you and the song. There's nothing quite like it really.

Take note that all of the while she is "tapping" with her right hand she also is holding the pick between thumb and forefinger at the same time.

Beyond the incredible technic and raw talent she displays, the smoothness of her motions up and down the fretboard are phenomenal.

She makes me thankful to be in a universe where this can happen.

Great reaction! Tina S is the best guitarist in this galaxy. Incredible skill and technique, absolute perfection! Also, her playing is strange and amazing. No one can even dream of doing what she does, period.

She is unbelievably talented. As a guitarist, I can tell you that she had to have put so many hours into learning this song, especially playing it as fast as she does.

Tina is two people (17 YO here). When she plays classical pieces the guitar is on her left knee and rock solid. Playing anything rock based it goes over to the right knee and is much looser. I always watch in amazement, but the jaw dropping moment is that passage of sweep picking. I can tap, but sweep picking is something I can't time properly.

Great reaction as always, love you Ari 🥰🥰

The speed and accuracy of her playing is impressive of course, but I am also extremely impressed that she was also able to wring so much expression from that guitar while playing that. She's not just mimicking how you'd play it on a piano, she's generating a similar feel too.

One thing to notice about Tina's cover here, it's a one-take cover but this is from before people started putting that term in their titles. By the way, she ALSO (successfully) covered Dragonforce Through The Fire And Flames! She's THAT great!

She's the reason I switched from guitar to triangle. :) Percussionists - it's a joke, okay? :D She plays absolutely fantastic and would probably outplay most. But I prefer Dr.Viossy's original version, he's the guy who arranged this for guitar. I get that it can be an artistic choice of hers, but I think he is a bit more on time on certain passages. Haven't seen a Tina S video for a long time, thank's for this refresher. And I've probably seen it 50 times, it still don't get old. She's so relaxed and makes it look so easy, but that smirk in the end tells it all I think :)

this piece of music is in it's optimal form when it is played on the piano. you should check a lady called valentina lisita. Beethoven "Moonlight" Sonata, III "Presto Agitato"

The technique she was using with her right hand is called “tapping”. She was holding the guitar in the classical position. She is definitely a prodigy, but also, she is super good looking. You guys may wanna do a reaction to her cover of “through the fire and flames”.

I wish Tina S had a Patreon page back when she first recorded this. Her performance was so spectacular that she should have been allowed to retire at 17!

Thx a lots to sharing reaction about our guitar French Goddess !!! Salute from France Girls & take care...

you can always tell when Tina is having fun, her right leg swings along on 1 or 2 bars, but no more, wouldn't want to have too much fun

Tina S is freakin awesome. If you ladies liked that, boy have I got some requests for you coming up !!! Very good reaction my dears. Have a great night.🤘🤘🤘🤘

she is back with a new band

Tina S - Through the Fire and Flames (Dragonforce cover).

TINA S WAS BORN

On 31 August 2023, after a hiatus of 7 years a new video was uploaded in the KZfaq channel of Tina Šetkić, where she plays guitar in a band called Spin Twice.

Tina S's last offering to the world (?). But you gotta admit - she freaking delivered. I love watching her play "The Best of Times" by Dream Theater, or "For the Love of God" by Steve Vai.

Great my lady's!! Glad you enjoyed it🙂

This and Altitudes by Jason Becker are my favorite covers by her. The technical difficulty involved on the guitar with both is amazing.

As much that I like das many exceptional Rock guitarists? They are not "Master Guitarists". Tina surely ist that. She ist an obvious example of someone who ist a professionally trained, classical, Master Guitarist with ability to play any musical composition, tone for tone, note for note, consistently every time with passionate influence. We miss you Tina. :-)

At the risk of sounding like a creeper... you two are absolutely beautiful women and I enjoy your reactions because they seem really authentic, unlike a lot of reacters on YT. Keep up the journey ladies🤘🤘

Tina S is back with a band called Spin Twice!

I love how visually you see little emotion on her face yet in all her music that all drains into the guitar pulling you in making you part of her emotion. Love all her music. Thanks for the reaction video! You should do a reaction video for " In A Gadda Da Vida" by " Iron Butterfly" (17 minute version from 1968) Psychedelic Music Classic. You will love it. :)

By the time Bethiven was 30years old and he write this song to his 17 year old crush and student countes Giulietta Guicciardil. It's only approppriet that this song/video is performed by 17 year old musician 200+ years after.

And professional who know Beethoven have all said she made no mistakes in that. The world needs Tina S.

Amazing that her career was birthed here on KZfaq so long ago and now it's rebirthed while in hiatus in Reaction videos. 34 million for a self starter is absolutely insane and in uncharted waters.

Tina S 💗. Waiting for you long anticipated return. Sincerely, Your Tina S Army.

🤔my guitar doesn’t do that.

Some other female guitarists to check out are Sarah Longfield, Yvette Young, Jennifer Batten, and Lita Ford.

Yes, to play this piece she is holding her guitar in the classic position on her left leg. Tina attended the Classic Conservatory from the age of 6 to 13 y.o.

Her left hand stretch is always amazing...in this one it looks like a pissed off spider!! And you are correct, she is Tapping with her right hand...the amazing thing there is she is tapping while holding the pick with her thumb and index, which means most of the tapping is being done with the middle, ring, and pinkie....she is a wonder.

And she doesn't miss a note, either!

7 notes a second, 2500+ notes in 6 mins and didn't hit a bum note.

smoking that guitar. Watch "Legend of the 1900" the Piano play off. Worth the time to watch.

Thank you!! She is a classically trained artist and was only 17 in this video. Cheers.

BTW, this ISN"T a rock cover of the moonlight sonata, it is the way it's played on piano, this is the 3rd movement, not a rock cover of the 3rd movement.

Je suis français et j'ai suivi le parcours de Tina S. Son frère aîné avait déjà un très haut niveau de guitare. Elle a abandonné la musique pour faire des études d'ingénieure. C'est une pure virtuose avec un excellent instructeur à l'époque. Son père, d'origine slave, marié a une femme d'origine portugaise, est le gardien de nuit d'une grande école d'ingénieurs, un peu comme le M.I.T. aux USA. Etre entouré des étudiants les plus intelligents a pu être une inspiration à dépasser ses limites.

If you are interested in classical music and rock adaption played by guitar, check out Gustav Holst`s "Mars, the Bringer of War", adapted for electric guitars and played by himself. The original was very probably the inspiration for the "Star Wars" melody. His adaption of Holst`s suite for a very large orchestra is in itself a new masterpiece. Check it out and you`ll see! 😉👍 Or if you don`t like the concept of war in astrology and music, check out Parrish`s adaption of "Jupiter" or "Uranus". Both are equally fantastic!!!

She is from France

She stopped posting because too many were hating on her and saying it was fake, played slower then speed up her video. She is in college now and I am sure she won't have any trouble making a few million bucks playing. You can see by her head movements that it's real, so not sure what was up with those jealous people. Even as fast as that was, Tina looked relaxed and almost bored, it was so easy for her.

I'm proud to be a bass - player.

Can't help but feel Old Ludwig wrote this piece just for her.

The little sign and the smile at the end to her teacher Renaud who is filming.

I feel Exhausted. & I was only watching. OMG. Improvisation is one thing. But That was something else.

LvB would be proud to Tina. 🥰

From France: Tina S is a 17 year old French girl at the time of recording ... Cocorico! 😂😂😂😂

That piece of music was written for piano.... It sounds NOTHING like the first movement of the same set... Incredibly hard to play on piano, and playing it note for note on guitar.... Beyond incredible!

When you tap a note with your stunning hand it's just called tapping as as you mentioned hammer on and pull off is done with the fretting hand

Notice that she has the classical straddling of the guitar on her leg

A GUITAR GOD PERIOD!

6:01 Girl on the left: "Oh! She's not strumming up there. So she's tapping the strings. Girl on the right: "She's not!" Hahahahaha

As far as a reaction,i think the gorgeous woman on the left already knew of Tina S in lots of detail, but she wanted her friend to give her own view of classical music played on a electric guitar.The other beautiful woman (sorry i don’t know your names)was a little perplexed about it all,but towards the end she kinda liked it,though it is an extraordinary piece of the sonata played that covers instruments of various sections at a pace that Beethoven if alive today would have fallen backwards in astonishment.Thank you for the reaction my first on your channel i’m giving you a like.

you should hear tina do dragonforce

A hammer on is when your finger hits the string to make you hear the note. A pull off is when you take your finger off the string to make you hear the note.

Toady is Tina's 22th birthday :)

She does a fantastic cover of Dr. Viossy's arrangement here!!! Something few in the world could hope to accomplish!! To compare how well she did, check out Dr. Viossy's version!!

My 2 favorite reactors finally get around to Tina Setkic. I hear she has been busy with her university studies and rumor has it there may be an album in the works.

Finger tapping...Eddie Van Halen popularized it, and it has gained in popularity, but Tina S., yeah, no words.

Hey, you should definitely check out Tina setkic dragon force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old, awesome awesome thanks 😄😎

- Tweet Nick MASON from PINK FLOYD, September 13, 2016 : "17yr Old Girl Shreds A Metal Cover Of Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ (3rd Movement )".

You guys should check out The Dooo, he has an incredible memory for songs and an incredible gift for guitar along with some good humour. He can and has covered a part of Moonlight Sonata but the people he normally plays to don't have the attention span for all of it like this.

... and EVERY note is there :-)

Это не рок-версия Бетховена. Это Бетховен написал музыка для электрогитары, когда стал глухим. А потом просто своим современникам-музыкантам не смог объяснить, что такое электрогитара и музыканты стали играть её на пианино

Wow! What a guitarist! Eddie Van Halen had a kind of Beethoven sound in his song Eruption. I would really like if you could react to his live performance from 1986 of Eruption.

I love ARI on this video !

Just another day at the office

Yes! Definitely worth a second look. As impressive as this was, her cover of "For the Love of God" is more for its texture and sheer beauty.

just watching my fingers bleed

Thanks a lot ladies for the reaction, please react to dimash kudaibergen ogni pietra arnau concert officiel version, a song made specially for him and his range. Greeting from France

Ludwig will be proud!!! 🙌 🙌 Tina s please come back!!!!!!

Marcin Patrzalek's Still DRE, that kid is superhuman on a guitar.

Check out another French guitarist, Mattrache and his super-emotional guitar cover of Adele’s ‘Someone Like You’. It’s amazing.

You should check out Tina S , Steve Vie for the love of God cover

She used almost every technique on an electric guitar...the one with two hands on the neck is called Tapping and sometimes she uses two fingers of right hand instead one (more difficult). I play guitar and I can say that her perfomance is simply INSANE....she's a pure genius.

hi ladies. i just subscribed.

TINA S IS TO GOOD FOR ANY BAND LOL

She has not disappeared. She is in college in Canada.

Not to take anything away from this wonderful talented woman but I saw that the arrangement was done by Dr. Viossy. If you want more electric guitar craziness, check his channel out. That said, this girl is something else. The total relaxation is amazing. She looks bored. So impressive.

tina s is to good for any band lol

Oh, she was 17 here.

She knows where she is on the fretboard at all times. She could have been blind.

Hi. You need to react to For The Love Of God - Steve Vai - Cover by Tina S . It is insane!

Yes, she was a teenager (17) when she uploaded this. This is the last video she uploaded. No one really knows what she's been up to since. it's almost like she said "I win" and left the spotlight.

I'm in love with ARI, she's so cute !

try tina s rock songs lol you will love

This version of the Sonata 3rd Movement "Presto Agitato" was created by Dr VIOSSY in 2011 ! His video is on KZfaq.

LEANNxARI you have to watch all of her videos she is amazing. After only 1 year of practicing electric guitar, at 14 y.o. she received Van Halen's invitations and congratulations! Ellen DeGeneres wanted her on her show!

Lol. Finger tapping. And you can pick any where as long as fret hand is in front of pick hand

hello Ari ^^
