Sungha Jung (Born South Korea on September 2, 1996) Hi, I'm Sungha Jung from South Korea.  My dream is to become a professional acoustic fingerstyle guitarist. I had been watching my dad play the guitar for awhile before I finally  jumped on it myself three years ago. Currently, I am taking drum lessons and teaching myself fingerstyle guitar. I used to not have tabs for the music that I played in my videos.  I just listen and pick them up directly from the sound source in videos  available on the internet.  However, recently, I have started playing with original tabs whenever  they are available to me by courtesy of the authors. My old guitar is custom made by Selma to fit my body size, and on it,  Thomas Leeb wrote "Keep on grooving to my friend."  As of Jan. 1st, 2009 Lakewood acts as sponsor for my guitar officially. I'm very grateful to those prominent guitarists who have had a great  influence on my guitar playing.  I'll continue to study them and learn more about interpretation of  music and various playing techniques. My daily practice routine lasts for one to two hours when school  is open, but I play up to three hours a day during the school breaks. It usually takes me two to three days to practice and videotape  a new piece but sometimes up to a week for more difficult ones. Last, but certainly not least, I can't thank Ulli Bogershausen  enough for being my musical inspiration.  Sungha Jung's Guitar  Sungha Jung's guitar is made and sponsored by Lakewood  (a German acoustic guitar manufacturer) from January 1, 2009.  Model : Lakewood A48CP Custom Its top is made of AAAA European Spruce and back & sides of Macassar Ebony.
