It’s so famous ballad song of Extreme.
I saw the video and copied for two days, but it’s still not so familiar to me, yet.
Extreme is an American rock band with four members organized at Massachusetts in 1985.
Their musical style is a funk metal and they tried a various songs with Jazz and ballad.
Their first album
"Extreme" was released in 1989, four years after their first
organization. Their second album "Extreme II: Pornograffitti" released
in 1990 was a smash hit.
In this album, there is a song "More than Words" which Sungha Jung played..
This "More than Words" ranked #1 in the billboard single chart and ‘Extreme’ became a star band.
According to Nuno Bettencourt who is the guitarist of the band, he made this song only in 15 minutes.
After two more studio albums, they were dismissed in 1996.
In 2007, they re-united
with original three members with new drummer and released the fifth
album in 2008 after 13 years of the fourth album. They had the first
concert in Korea in Dec. 2008. Currently, they are still on tour in US
and other countries.
Sungha Jung showed a fascinating play with their most popular and great song.
He played this song …
In 11 years 3 months
In Fifth grade of the elementary school
In 24 months since he started playing guitar
It took 6 hours from his first hearing of this song to uploading video.
This video shows the 3.4 million hits in early July 2009, and the number 3 hits of his playing video on YouTube.
This number is three times more than the original play and the most highly hit video of “more than words” in YouTube.
Here are some interesting comments from more than 8000 comments.

Most kids at your age are
useless bums, most adults above your age are even less useful,
especially those that get jealous over your hard work and talent. You
are a wake up? call to all of those useless people. Don't let them get
you down!
you're better than the 'original'.... hahaha just kidding mate
you just give a damn good
interpretation of the original... im very sure that the 'extreme band'
would happy and proud to see a kid like you playing one of their best
song.
keep it comin' hoping to see you in a big dome performing your major concert! nice....
How could God be so
unjust in distributing talent? I thought HE loved us all the same. I
just feel so inadequate now!! Where's the nearest bridge? But, before I
go...you are INCREDIBLE young man, DON'T YOU EVER QUIT! God bless
you...oh, I forgot, HE already has!
haha i showed this video to my wife.... and she likes it... and she gives me a warm hug and a sweet KISS =) tnx kid!
Mozart with a guitar
Who is playing the second
guitar that plays the tune? (Because from the fingerpicking I noticed
that obviously you aren't playing that part.) Still good job though.
God has hand picked you
for this special gift you have. Your musical ability seems endless. The
Bible says, "To whom much is given, much is required" Thanks for
sharing and brightening the lives of those who may stumble across your
path.
how is this possible................
WTF, go buy a ticket to go to American got talent!
america got talnet? NO!
please, don´t waste this so great talent of this guy! it would be so
terrible, if he´d end, like a popstar, who got´s no talent.has to
become really great. i´d visit a concert of him!

Whew....I don't even know what to say about that. It's damn near unbelievable. Truly incredible.

He's the future Satriani. Keep the good work young man but don't forget
to put education on your priority.
OMFG!!!
I love this kid, he's so fucking awesome.
The first time i watched? video, i cried tears of joy and praise for the kid.
I WATCH THIS VIEDO OVER AND OVER AGAIN JUST TO GET ME THROUGH EACH DAY.
I NEED TO HEAR THE BEAUTIFUL MELODIES OF HIS GUITAR TO LIVE.
I NEED IT MORE THAN BREATHING!!!
holy shit! extreme played
this song with two guitars plus voice, you play it all together with
one guitar and it sounds the same.
If you guys could get the licensing to put out a CD...or an iTunes release I think you guys could make bank.
