I’m going out on a limb here but in my humble opinion, Tina is the greatest guitarist of all time, and that includes everyone. Period.

When to get a smile from Tina she knows she nailed👍

You should got watch Herman Li's reaction to this. Unbelievable .. he was absolutely blown right out of his chair. He thinks she is absolutely fabulous.

Its like a racing game for her ;-) Normally you watch her left hand ...but the right hand hand is incredible stiff and organized + the lefthand/righthand timing ...omg

Tina came to kick ass and chew gum, so she brought plenty for the whole class!😄💪🏻🤘🏻

This Tina s is 6 years ago, where have you and I all been. Can you imagine being as Amazing as Tina's playing but in your heart your passion is somewhere else. Tina I don't desire you come back, you have free will like us all. Grace and Peace to you Tina.

Tina S is back

The mystery or TinaS. She came, played like a God and then just vanished from youtube... You guys should check her Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement Cover, it's Unreal

Herman Li is undoubtly a really skilled, highly talented guitarist. But the speed of Tina he couldn't reach. Her version is - in my opinion - better than the original

And she did it while chewing gum.

God given talent indeed. I could put in 10,000 hours of practice on that song and I couldn't play the wrong notes as fast as she plays them correctly.

New band. Tina S - Spin Twice. GRAVITY EP available September 1, 2023. On iTunes

And she does not forget to close the microphone button at the end, with the little finger !

The amount of time and effort I put into playing through the fire and flames on expert in guitar hero.... and Breslin comes through chewing gum and just makes me look like an a$$hole for thinking I was legit for finishing dragon force in guitar hero. 🙄 😔 I started playing real guitar because I was so good at guitar hero..... and now I will stop playing guitar after seeing Breslin completely slay this track.

I’ve read that she learned the Beethoven Moonlight Sonata piece in four days. Crazy…

I only discovered you guys through your reactions to Tina S's covers, and I love your reactions. On June 7, 2021, Herman Li from DragonForce reacted to Tina's Cover of "Through the Fire and Flames - for your own viewing pleasure you might want to take a look at that; it's interesting how a wonderful, experienced guitar afficionado can appreciate, respect ... and feel no need to ng diminish a young artist in any way. When DragonForce was in France, he tried to connect with Tina, but to no avail - but in this video, he makes a public appeal to Tina, that he'd love to collaborate with her in any way she would be comfortable with - I thought it was the kind of appeal, which if Tina heard, might make her think about coming back into the public eye ( or at least, meeting with someone she respects ). Edit: I didn't see the next comment after mine, about Herman Li, until I posted this, but I will let this stand nevertheless.

Herman Li finally did a reaction to Tina S 's Through the Fire and Flames. You guys need to check that out.

Tina S was trained as a classical guitarist from the age of 6. At the age of 13 she started playing the electric guitar. She recorded this song when she was 15. After she quit uploading to youtube she went to college in Paris (she's French) to study. She recently graduated and registered a business in France in audio production. So perhaps she will be back soon.

Great reaction! Every reaction I will keep asking for Altitude by Jason Becker, but I know you will do, cause you say 'thanks for recommendation' You will curiously enough be the first reactors to this song if you do Altitudes. Again great vid!

One of the best reaction videos I've ever seen.

This song was written for two solo guitars, and when they asked her, ,, are you up to it? ,, she said, ,, give me my guitar pick ,, and just like it nothing happened, chewing her gum and showed us why girls are better on guitar than boys!!

Played guitar for 30 years and she has the best right hand iv ever seen. Her control over those ridiculous patterns and busy work is off the charts.

I think she is not sticking her self value to the outer world. She doesn't have to prove it. And I guess she doesn't like the 'as an artist 'you have to do this ...and that (like 'you have to be on youtube, you have to publish, the word needs your talent)'. If you don't do it, it's crap'. She is just in her inner world, doing this stuff ...pushing it as far as it goes ...to a incredible level. Like other people going to the gym to push their limits, she is having a good time with the guitar. She doesn't want to be creative in song writing or playing in a band ...which would also be really hard to do with the stuff she does (timing in a band at that speed and precision level ...really really hard to find people and get along with them).

Hermie Lee's REACTION video was a... THIS BEAUTY HAS THIS SONG DOWN ((BETTER & CLEANER)) Than ME..!!! & im JEALOUS as hell...!!! Just like this Cat said IT ALMOST makes me Angry That she can do this SO EFFECTIVELY & EFFORTLESSLY!!! HOWEVER... the BOTTOM LINE is SHE'S DAMN AWESOME & GOOD

Tina s is the Boss 😎 🤯

I understand your curiosity about whether Tina can compose her own music, but does it really matter? Maybe that's not her passion. We have plenty of famous artists in the US that perform music written/composed by other people. Maybe not as much in Rock or Metal, and probably more so in Country music, but I would assume songwriters and music producers are needed across all genres. World renowned classical musicians and opera singers, including Bocelli and the late Pavarotti, are all performing music composed by others. They just do so at a very high level. You guys are just discovering her, but those of us who have followed her for a long time no longer care about her age, gender, or what she's performing, we just miss her playing. For me, when she plays a guitar (of any type), magic happens. I feel it even in the videos when she's very young. People get mesmerized and drawn in when she plays. I just don't feel the same thing with a lot of the other young artists that are always mentioned. Regardless of what Tina chooses to do, I believe I can speak for most of us in that we support whatever she chooses and just want her to have a happy life. If she chooses to sit on stage with a guitar and play Christmas carols, I will gladly pay to be there. For now, I'm grateful for the few videos we have. I've enjoyed your reactions and your analysis. Its fun watching the two of you at the same time. You're a lot more enjoyable to watch than a lot of the 'reactors' I've seen.

I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. I'm all out of bubble gum. 🫵😃

Has everyone seen the blue clothespin that holds its headphone wire on the close-ups ?? This video was made in multiple takes.

As a guitarplayer for about 40 years I can tell you that for me it's easier to play my own techniques than somebody elses ... I'm a composer myself and I like to challenge myself in what I write, but if I'm in the studio, playing other peoples music, and I want to play like f.i. Steve Hackett it's a challenge...

Her only video that is more than one take in order to show more than one view, which they acknowledge up front. She does both solo parts.

Interview Tina S Q: Hi Tina, what was your first guitar? Tina: My first guitar was a classical guitar with which I started the classical music conservatory at the age of 6. It was an Alvaro. Q: What are your influences? Tina: I don't really have an influence. There are of course bands and guitarists that I particularly like like Van Halen, Slash. Q: What is your training? Tina: I started with a classical course by enrolling at the age of 6 at the conservatory of classical music. At the age of 13, I decided to turn to a more rock universe by throwing myself at the electric guitar. Q: What have been the most significant stages in your early career so far? Tina: It's a mistake to talk about a career for me. I had a classical training, then thanks to this training I was able to get started more easily in the electric guitar but I have not yet had the opportunity to meet any particularly striking facts. Of course, the fact of making a buzz on the internet with Van Halen's solo and of trying to follow this buzz with my second video is very impressive. But for me, I have not yet started my career as a guitarist. Q: How are the lessons going with Renaud Louis-Servais? Tina: He is a very pleasant teacher, very professional but who manages to combine pleasure and work. He is very rigorous, asks me to give the best of myself, and it is beneficial since it is thanks to him that I undertake pieces of a level more than correct for my age. It is a real pleasure and a chance to have him as a teacher. Q: Considering your level, is the work more focused on musicality and vocabulary rather than on pure technique? Tina: I will say that my work is broken down into several phases. Until now, we had worked particularly on the technique in order to improve my game. Currently, we are working a lot on musicality so as not to forget that we must first understand what we are playing in order to make something feel. Q: Any news from Wolfgang Van Halen who said in a tweet that he wanted to meet you? Tina: For now, no. Q: After Eruption and this version of Patrick Rondat's interpretation of Vivaldi, other big pieces of music that you are working on? Tina: I prefer not to talk about upcoming songs just so as not to put unnecessary pressure on myself. I prefer to keep the surprise until the last moment. Q: How do you deal with becoming a KZfaq star with millions of views? Tina: The entourage is very important. It is necessary to have a solid foundation and this foundation is represented by family and friends. We must not take the big head, stay down to earth, and above all try not to give yourself unnecessary pressure by continuing to have fun and not think of making millions of views but simply playing for my own pleasure. Q: Do you feel you have a special mission because you are a girl and you operate in a very male dominated environment? Tina: No not particularly. It is true that it is a pleasure to succeed in being seen in a world where men predominate. It is important to show that a girl can play without more weaknesses than a man is able to do. Q: What is your favorite guitar? Tina: My favorite guitar is the Vigier with which you can see me on my videos. Q: How is the collaboration with Vigier going? Tina: There is no particular collaboration. However, I was invited by Patrice Vigier to visit his workshop. It was a great honor to meet him but there is currently no collaboration with Vigier like with no other brand of guitar. Q: Do you have any plans to play in a group? Tina: At the moment no. I concentrate on a single work on myself in order to have the most complete game possible. Of course, I'm not putting aside the possibility of being part of a band in the future, but that's not the case now. Q: What are your next projects? Tina: Like I said before, I don't like to talk about things to come. It puts particular pressure on me, and I prefer to keep them to myself so that I can play without waiting. Thank you for your answers and good luck for the future!

She is back playing in a band.

My thoughts: Tina is classically trained starting with acoustic guitar with music of the great classical composers like Beethoven and Vivaldi as target. That's where her technical capabilities were developed, that's where her forte lies. As a normal teenager growing up with that technical background in mind she also felt challenged to perform some of the modern metal songs like Eruption and Through the Fire and Flames. Knowing that she is close to graduate Law School I think she feels that that is where her true calling lies. She put her full dedication into this and obviously had no regrets of putting her musicianship on a side track. Now to Uncle Gij's comment that a musician is only complete if he/she composes his/her own music: that's a pretty dangerous remark because you disqualify a large sector within the total music scene, being the classical music. I'm talking about opera singers like Luciano Pavarotti or Maria Callas. I'm talking about professional musicians being part of the greatest symphony orchestra's in the world. Their sole job and calling is to perform music written by others. And still each and everyone of them belongs to the Greats of this world.

Casual as Tina you are by far the best ever, I love what you have accomplished, amazing my girl, your 🔥

Next : Arpeggios form Hell or Altitudes. Both are extremely challenging technically and not only speed-wise.

Love her Beethoven cover.

What I need to know is what kind of gum is she chewing cause that's got to be the key to be able to play like this - other than that I have no explaination how she does it.

Awesome, Tina rocks.

So good, unbelievable

In September 2020, she entered the Évry business school in the south of Paris, where her family lives. She joined the Télécom SudParis section as an engineering student. The graduate is scheduled for 2023. Her photo is in the school's Facebook and Instagram group photo, the last person on the right. Her sister Léa is also on the picture, for those who know her! In November 2020 she had cleaned up her Facebook and Twitter accounts by deleting photos, on KZfaq she deleted the inscription on her videos "Taught and filmed by her teacher Renaud Louis-Servais". Her teacher Renaud has not seen Tina since 2017 !

Okay.. But 19.12 is time to step away from the shovel lol

Uncle Gij seems like the uncle you hope shows up to family events..... We aren't related or the same shade and I want this uncle at all my events. 🤟😝

The solo of the song lasts 2 min 4 s. This song features in the video game Guitar Hero III : Legends of Rock : it is considered one of the longest and most difficult songs to play due to the large number of notes (3,722 notes) and its high speed .

6:53, Me, that's all I know how to play like her !!

This coming a few days after re-watching Junna from Japan absolutely nail the same DF track on drums. I’m wondering how they’d jam together.

Sakura says "hold my tea" - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n6mKopCbpqempWQ.html Love the no look...lol

She looks like, is this all ya got? I mean really...

She playing So Good.. Sir u also can react to this young girl- Ayu Gusfanz (13 Year Old) "Through The Fire And The Flames" Dragonforce. Enjoy!!!

Herman Li has reacted on Tina S cover Dragonforce

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!

That was very churlish. "She's just mimicking..."

Hello guys, I suggest for you two to react to stay by cueshé, they were a popular band here in the Philippines during the early 2000's. I hope you guys react to the live wish 107.5 version. Have a great day!

And she chews her chewing gum quite comfortably at the same time!

I CAN NOT walk & chew gum at the same time.. Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

She s the top notch !!!👍🏼😊

agree she can go any higher with a guitar

She only talks about technique, performance, challenge, difficulty, also for her guitars, microphones, neck, floyd rose, whammy bar ... with her Vigiers at 4000 € !! Fortunately, she installed a string block nut so as not to lose them!

The speed of the camera struggles to keep up with the speed of Tina's fingers !

Listan to For the love of God also when she plays it.

If you want to continue your exploration of young female guitarists, I recommend you check out Yoyo (Pinxi Liu). Maybe start out with "Angel of Darkness".

she was 15 at this time

remember me!!! Altitudes! Please :)

I can’t even watch as fast as she plays.

er fingers are like dancing spiders on the strings

Tina plaid all the parts of the two guitar

Tina S did her last recording 6 years ago, and still averages over a million hits a month. That's one heck of a statement.

after listening through her covers...if composition isn't her interest...what else does Tina need to show us??

I needed a sandwich halfway through this , love you tina

DragonForce Herman Li Reaction to Cole Rolland Through the Fire and Flames Cover - KZfaq

Hello my loves! subscriber and fan from the UK here! I enjoy watching your vids, chilling with my cat Steven! Could you please react to Tina S ' Altitudes' - its rather good! xx

No one watching this, and I mean absolutely no one can do what Tina is doing right here.

FOR ONCE SHE HAD TO DO 4 TAKES ! Not so easy ! You can see it by the position of her hair, in front of and behind the guitar. Look at her hair on the guitar or behind it. There were at least 4 takes. Tina's page : 0,23 second take, 0,43 third take, 1,09 second take, 1,35 third take, 2,01 fourth take, 2,55 third take, 4,51 change, 5,25 change, 5,32 change, 5,46 change, 6,25 change, 6,46 change.

Would you Ask that question about a classical interprète ?

Tina explains that it is only the technique and the performance, the difficulty, the challenge that interests her. She was invited by Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Dragonforce, and she never responded. She doesn't want their comments. She refused the very important spectacle of Ellen DeGeneres which receives the greatest actors and which would have made her known to all Americans, that does not interest. She refused to participate in all contests and television shows.

Tina SETKIS iNTERVIEW : --- Question : How is the teaching with Renaud LOUIS-SERVAIS ? --- Tina : He is a very nice teacher, very professional but he happens to combine work and fun. He is very rigorous, asking me to give the best of myself, and this is beneficial because it is thanks to him that I began working on pieces of a more adequate level for my age. It is a real pleasure and a chance to have him as a teacher. All her videos are filmed and edited by her teacher Renaud.

5 min. song 3722 notes bro wtf. omg!

You guys have by far the best reaction to this amazing girl. For info, she was 15 when she did that dragonforce song. I really hope she is happy and doing well but I do wonder if maybe she stepped away because maybe although she is incredibly gifted that maybe at the end of the day it’s just not her passion. If that’s the case it’s sad for us but good for her because nobody should do something for the rest of their life that they aren’t passionate about.

Herman Li has just reacted to this! 😊 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZySkqyqspqWmJc.html

It feels tad of a slight to call Tinas ability to play these pieces as just memorizing the music. Why is there this different yardstick for girls who play guitar. It isnt enough that they can play the music flawlessly but to prove their worth as a guitar player they have to also compose their own music?

...and all this while chewing gum.

She has no strap. She perches it on her knee. Its ridiculous. you think this is impressive? It is. But check her out doing Moonlight Sonata.....

If that was a guy , they'd be torn apart lol . I'm alll for girl power , but c'mon
