Betsy I watched & listened in awe-Korean guitar prodigy (29) RE: I watched and listened in awe 21 Oct 10


I posted a note but forsome reason it didn't appear .I share the concerns that this young girl has been brainwashed (type of thing) at too early an age as expressed by some on the thread , but I also see her enjoying being good at what she's doing. My mind is cast back to those aimless conversations I've had over the many years when people have said that they would love to be able to play the guitar , BUT their fingers are too small , too fat, etc etc. I've got fingers like a fist full of sausages , but I was so impressed how her tiny fingers managed to do perfect Barre chords - but more importantly it was on a Spanish guitar which is a much wider neck than most of us play.
I don't know the background of her upbringing but I thought her performance was F****** brilliant.
Good luck to her - she is probably better at doing what she is doing, than (say) having a part in some Hollywood movie, and I thought she was genuinely moved when she was playing,rather than (as some have intimated ), that she is some sort of automonoton - the girl has loads of feeling for her music and I applaude her
