I an an Asian Canadian. I love guitar too. I bought a guitar, practiced a couple of times and then gave up. I ended up become an electrical engineer instead. You see not all Asian are good though.

I've been playing this one for almost 25 years. It's a constant struggle to sound effortless :)

Hahahah So accurate

Li Jie is a phenomenon; here at about 14 years old she demonstrates more talent and poise than most after playing for 14 years. How can anyone criticize or admonish her playing? Just awesome!

ive been in love with this song for 5 years, shes played it the best so far

I think this is the finest version of Sunburst I have heard. I love the way she moves her right hand closer to or further from the bridge to change the timbre of the sound. And every note that I can tell is crisp and executed perfectly. Magical!

Because of her teacher Chen Zhi. When teaching her this tune, it was very funny. He told Li Jie that you imagine a cowboy riding a horse in the west, then the sun kept shining on him, and then he was sweating. This is Sunburst. Without sweat, there would be no Sunburst. Li Jie is not a girl who loves to laugh, but then she smiled.

Even better than Andrew York himself

If the performer would play like this in the wilderness with different clothes on, no one would ever complained about it being played soulless. The mere fact that she chose this song to perform shows that she does really care about fine guitar music: two thumbs up here!

Chen Zhi is a great teacher. Li Jie got god given talent. Her play was great at such a young age because of her talent + the mind at that age was pure.

Li Jie may well be the must skillful guitarist in the world. I don't think anyone can play a classical guitar better than this amazing woman.

Li Jie's execution is simply amazing. Her play adds more substance to this piece, Sunburst. Full of life!

I can't imagine that anyone could play this better than Li Jie. She is number one in my books.

I've seen this about a hundred times and it never gets old. I just wish there was more current stuff on her - she's grown up into a cutie.

WOW! An almost flawless performance. What a clean sound...great guitarist.

Best performance of this piece.

i have commented on all her videos and i still say the same thing...i love this lady.

Stunningly brilliant - I've been playing guitar off-and-on since I was 17 and could only dream of being as good as that.

i only say, she is excellent

Soul in music doesn't come from someone screwing something up. Soul in music comes from how well you can express it through playing. This piece is very beutiful and I'm deciding whether I like this version or the original. This definently rivals it.

This video inspired me to go out and buy this piece. The more I play it the more I want to practice it, now I'm spending hours every day practising this piece and it's just beautiful : ) Andrew York really nailed it with this piece!

I love this warm joyful interpretation of this masterpiece of York

a very nice music played by a virtuoso and a beautiful lady to boot. only in my dreams could i play like that.

Born gifted.....

I had learn this song when I was playing classical guitar, was really hard on the fingers and I remember seeing this video, and was amazed how perfectly she played it.

And EASILY. She's just toying with us!

The notes are beautiful, but so are the silent pauses that the notes come from. Thank you for your hours and hours of practicing that give us this 4 minutes of joy.

She nearly smiles playing this tune. So deadpan for such a young child.

When you play this good. You can look however you like

The smoothest and most accurate technical execution ever of this song, with just the right amount of personal interpretation in her picking inflections and positions - all other you tube versions show the player struggling at times - including York himself!!

not a single mistake beautiful:D

Grande violonista,

She's brilliant! I love this song.

You can't help but feel that she can play anything.

Awesome performance

beautiful

Li Jie, Your performance is flawless and beautiful. so balanced and controled yet expressive and colorful. You may have the biggest hands i have ever heard

played perfectly at such a young age. BRAVO!!

Wonderful technique and music!

I like li Jie's technique and style, and I respect the way she interpret the piece in that video. I wonder how she'll play it now.

i really miss this song!

dude emotion can be conveyed in different ways. just because she isnt reenacting an epileptic seizure, or a bout with a fatal bowel disease doesn't mean she is emotionless.

oh God, this girl is brillant again...

As close to perfection as you're likely to see.

I love you Li Jie...

OMG!!!!!!!!!

I was looking for John William's version, but this will do! lol Girls rule, Baby!!!

Stunning, love it

wow... just.. wow... i wish i could be this good one day!

she is an amazing!!!

WOW !!!! What a great job !

Excellent! Her timing, tone, and the dymanics of her volume are all right on the money. Exceedingly well done! I wonder if a smaller guitar might help. It looks like she is holding a battleship in her lap!

Magnificently played, every note was great.

She is such a enjoyable find! Its nice to hear a playful arrangement since the typical guitar performance is so mellow.

so amazing!!!!!

awesome!!!!!!!! she played well the piece your one of my idol along with kevin loh... kieep it up...

beauifully played li jie, well done..

Li JIe you are the most amazing person ive seen playing guitar Im watching this video for about 1month everyday now so yeah your very good

❤❤❤

Semplicemente meraviglioso!!!

C’est phénoménal ❤❤❤❤bravo

thanks for verifying! i dont read music, i learned by ear. i figured out this song by watching this video and yorks, thats how i found the different note. i thought maybe i was missing something. thanks again!

perfect,perfect,perfect.

still trying to play this. 20 years later.

this is not prerecorded, this girl has a lot of postings and she appears in a master class with her theacher

I love her man

Me, too. Playing more than 30 years.

I wish I could play it with this technique Her technique is so perfect I could cry :(

im playing this song from my teacher. i hope i get as good as you

super

Awesome!!

Maravilhoso, Beautiful!

beautiful..

Well perhaps for the purposes of you tube the tuning parts were cut off because the pieces that are being played are uploaded as individual videos instead of a full real time 1.5 hr concert. Or perhaps there is minimal editing (a few very minor cuts). Whatever the truth may be the point is that Lie Jie is truly masterful guitarist and no gimmicks where used to make it seem so.

woow.

Excellent!

astounding

wow.... ni hen hao, shie shie!!

I think she is brilliant.

her fingers are smaller than any other guitar player (adults)..but she's more perfect, clean, accurate..and amazing...:)

A very impressive performance. Grace under pressure!

All these LI Jie clips are from an education VCD which is for demostrating to guitar students. It's originally from an education program on TV teaching guitar. So she's not even supposed to "show", because she's demostrating guitar techniques as instructed by her teacher. The audiance is supposed to be students watching and learning, not just entertaining.

harp effect on the sweeps, it sounds so cool

magnifico !!!!

mooi gespeeld li jie !!!!!!!!!!:)

Hi Li! It's awesome :)

amazing player :)

I don't care Li Jie does it justice enough said.

Waow!

Thats how good she is. She tuned it while playing without even touching it xD

这个视频挺好❣️

im 17 lol. yeah dont worry, its okay, i ass around like that too on the internet lol. that cabbage roll line was good, i think ill use that line sometime haha.

冠軍👑

she was about 15 years old at that time

Brava

i've noticed that in a lot of her videos...it hink she is recording the audio seperatly...and dubbing it over the video...just for better sound quality

Who are you to decide for her that she doesnt enjoy playing the song? Clearly, she worked hard to perfect it and perform it, and like any real musician, respects the song in its entirety. Everyone deals with their emotions differently.

excelente

wow

very good

Super

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Surely the TRUE interpretation is the one by Andrew York, but this one, although different, is beautiful as the "original" one. IMHO.

why can't i be this good Q.Q

Dammit i hate all these "unexpressive' comments. The music is expressive - the player doesn't need to put on a show for you.

that is correct DADGBD i know this song and i luvs it

This is a technique i use today. It takes a couple years to get it. And she tunes her low E down because that is what is needed for the piece.
