A few years ago I showed my youngest daughter this video to inspire her. When I told her that this was originally written for the piano, she asked me if I could play it. I have been playing the piano since I was a child and have had lessons for about 7 years. I promised her to practice. It took me over a year and more practice than I have done since I was a teenager and I was able to fulfill my promise. My daughter is now learning the guitar. Thank you Tina S!!!

no wonder she used a hairband at top neck for this, so fast to such a heavy sound, the feedback would have been insane.

This is one of the most complicated pieces of music to ever be played on guitar and Tina makes it look effortless. That little smile at the end is her way of saying, "Yeah, I just did that". And to do it on video in one take, is unbelievable.

She now has an album out with her band. She disappeared for several years while attending school. So glad she is back

Tina's covers of Jason Becker's 'Altitudes' , Steve Vai's 'For the Love of God', and Gary Moore's 'The Loner' are my favourites.

TINA BLEW MY MIND ALSO!!!! I LOVE YOUR REACTION TO HER!!!! IT'S VERY HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE'S ABLE TO PLAY LIKE THAT AT ANY AGE AND SHE'S JUST LAUGHING AT OLD GUITAR PLAYER'S IN SIDE LIKE YEAH I JUST STONE COLD DONE THAT LET'S SEE YOU DO IT!¡ LOL SHE'S THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN!!! AT ANY AGE BUT 17 GET REAL ALL YOU CAN SAY IS A PRODIGY WITH OUT A DOUGHT

And she doesn't miss a note here.

You should definitely check out Tina Setkic Dragon Force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old awesome 👌

Seen her videos .. she is definitely an amazing guitarist!

Tina S. was voted the best guitarist on KZread for three years in a row, but then she took a long break in 2016 to study law. Now she has returned with her own band & this is one of their new songs: Spin Twice - What’s Wrong With Me? (Official Music Video). You can find it on Tina's KZread channel. P.S. A professional British guitarist has also reacted to this amazing performance & told that it took him 2 weeks to learn to play the first 12 seconds of this song flawlessly.

@@IA_influenceur Thanks for correcting me.

This was the last cover by Tina before going of the charts for about seven years, apparently to study technology and not law as what previously suspected. Even then, I speak under correction for that last bit. This piece was arranged for guitar by Dr Viossy, an Italian. There is/was a video putting Viossy and Tina together playing this same piece. The similarity in fingering is astonishing. Nevertheless, this was the last of the series of covers that she did, recorded in 2016. Do take time to listen and enjoy the rest of her 14+ covers. I have no doubt that Tina SETKIC is the best of the best. Thank you for a really lovely and enjoyable reaction. I like. ❤

She can no longer play covers because she has to pay royalties to the creators ! DragonForce's Herman LI explained why.

Obviously Tina is incredible and I think she could have played that blindfolded......... Massive shout out to the drummer as well...... it's difficult, but it's worth listening again and trying to focus on the drums.... really wish he/she was in the shot!

She started on a classical guitar and was apparently inspired by another child prodigy named Ana Vidovic whose performances on a classical guitar reached on KZread several million views. Another such prodigy on an electric guitar is Li-sa-X from Japan.

Tina started playing classical guitar at a conservatory in France at the age of 6. She switched to electric at the age of 13 under the tutelage of Renaud Louis-Servais, as mentioned by ericsicard910. She was 17 in this video. I first discovered Tina when she was around 8. She used to post her classical covers on her KZread site, and you could tell back then she was something special. As others have mentioned, my favorite covers of hers are For The Love of God, Altitudes, and The Loner.

I used to live with a friend of mine who is now a professional music teacher and performer on several different instruments. During the time we lived together she was practicing this daily for fun between learning the pieces for her first diploma, and she never did get this to a standard she was satisfied with. I loved listening to her play it, though. So I was surprised when you said you played it at grade 8! But then you said you played sections of it and I understood. I'm still impressed, though. I'm impressed by anyone who can play any of this on any instrument, but this Tina S performance blows me away every time. She's amazingly skillful. Such a wonderful guitarist.

It’s an italian guitarist nicknamed Dr Viossy who did the translation to guitar. Then Renaud Louis-Servais, french guitar hero and Tina’s teacher at that time (he teached to many other guitarist prodigies such as Dany Villareal from The Warning), and who is recording the video here, asked the permission to use Dr Viossy’s music sheet on Tina’s behalf and got it. The stoicism is her focus face, she is 100% concentrated on the play. One concert pianist reacted to it and said she didn’t miss a single note. 😂

This is how you get young people interested in classical music.

She does a fantastic cover of Gary Moore's the loner.

Only in her Galaxy maybe everyone is virtuous and prodigious because here on our planet earth only in dreams or practicing 24 hours a day, Tina was born with an unimaginable talent her guitar is just another extension of her body she is a 👽 an out of series, Mexico

great reaction, cheers. i've played guitar almost 40 years, took me 3 days to learn first 6 seconds of this. pesky french wimmen! heya tina if yer trolling - hope band is doing well.

Spin Twice made my head spin twice. From disappointment. That's said, Tina is still a sweatheart and a prodigy and what she had graced us with in her solo videos is legendary. But her recent group production is not at all what I had expected her to produce when and if she ever came back.

Had to say goodbye to my guitar after seeing this.

the cadenza slays me. not to mention her chucking in fake harmonics cos she's bored, ofc its all mapped out first, sublime techniques, as she is doing more than 1. im pretty good at the guitar finger tapping thing but his is a whole different level.

On this cover, Pink Floyd founding member Nick Mason (@nickmasondrums Sept 13, 2016) congratulated her: "17yr Old Girl Shreds A Metal Cover Of Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’ (3rd Movement)" As he had already done for his cover of ‘Comfortably Numb’ : "Talented 15-Year-Old Guitarist Totally Nails The Complicated Solo From ‘Comfortably Numb’"

I don't think stoic is really the "it". I think she concentrates so utterly completely that it looks stoic .. but is instead a mind focused very, very sharply. On Beethoven and Metal. He .. Beethoven was a genius .. it simply amazes me that people used to metal find that .. when they listen .. STOP ..and listen .. that the classics can be a blast. I simply stop and stare .. and think .. YEEEsssss .. Great Music is .. Great Music ... that is WHY it is still listened to hundreds of years after the first performance. Reminds me of a reactor who had watched a black and white film and was shocked that is was good .. to which is was and still am .. puzzled. Why .. should the movie being good surprise someone. Art appeals to people in different ways .. just why a painter using color or gray tones would be producing .. art .. and trash .. because of the pigments? Seriously .. makes no sense to me.

I’ve been watching Tina S for years now you need to go down this rabbit hole you will be astonished with all of her music Check out the Best of times from Dream Theater it’s the most beautiful solo ever

Check out her "Vivaldi" cover

Tina S - in my top three guitarists 🔥🔥🔥

she's rather specialm and hard worker

My favorite from Tina would be "For The Love of God" a Steve Vai cover. Just fantastic stuff here. Thanks for reacting to this.

Correct, classical music are 100% connected to metal. See i,e, my favourite band Epica! These folks are classically trained and the orchestra/choir parts are composed in the original songs, not slapped on afterwards (like Metallica did one). And it Really pays off. Dimmu borgir Gateways (live with agnetta) is another example!

And now your must reakt to junna fire and flames drum cover...🎉😂❤insane!!!!!!!

aye, from 9:40 on, dun blink

Glad you enjoyed that😊. Tina is such a joy to watch and be amazed at seeing her do things that are extraordinary. I really recommend to watch the reaction of Herman Li to his/their song, here's a link to it kzread.info/dash/bejne/nWqWwauyfZeYmMY.html

tina is like randy rhoads was unique she was like 15 in this video not one note missed whether it be vivaldi or dragonforce or anything in between watch hermans Li`s twitch reaction to her , he had several oh shit shes good moments and he wrote it , hell she plays Appregios from hell by malmsteen like it isnt 2 shits shes went to lawschool , but resurfaced recently , but 2 solos covered in this same with her tornado of souls cover

Might I suggest -> Apocalyptica - Hall of The Mountain King (Official Video) Where classical music meets heavy metal cello. Yeah you read that right heavy metal cello. From 16 years ago with a runtime of 4 min 53 sec. I think you will enjoy it.

Beethoven is the metalhead among the classics. His work can be very dynamic and he himself was a choleric. He composed the third part of the sonata at this speed, but the first movement is very slow and very well known. He composed it for piano. Today Tina makes rock, not metal. So far there is only one EP: Spin Twice - What's Wrong With Me? (Official Music Video)

You also have to do a cover reaction to For the Love of God by Tina. Through the fire and flames, she plays the rhythm background, and the lead

Yngwie Malmsteen.........the 80's..........Neoclassical metal😁

She doesn't hear the thousands of guitars being thrown out windows.

VIVALDI Tina S COVER

As someone who trained classical piano for a long time (and other instruments later) I don't think it's stoicism except in a philosophical sense. When you put in that much practice as an introvert, alone, you realize eventually that all of your calories go to your brain and your hands, and nothing else. You don't have 'spare' calories to do anything but focus on exactly what matters. And don't get me wrong, a lot of people react to Tina this way. She's not performing per se as a visual performance. She's performing as a musical accomplishment for her teacher and the camera. Her lack of showmanship is actually more endearing than if she felt any need to show off or play for the camera. It isn't about her, it's about the execution of the song, pretty much flawlessly. Anyways, if you only do 2 more of Tina S, please include Steve Vai's "For the Love of God". I'm not particularly a Steve Vai fan myself but this song is beautiful and Tina shows just how much emotion can be put into the arrangement and execution of a piece of music that is already quite expressive. For me, it's her very best performance.
