Major hat tip to my man JC for making me aware of this wunderkind named Sungha Jung (check out his official site here).

It’s both remarkable and refreshing that in an era of “American Idol”, “America’s Got Talent” and the myriad other (un)reality-based Bread and Circus debacles, we can bear witness to a young man with such undeniable ability (and potential!). Granted, he’s no Justin Bieber, but…

Pink Floyd’s “Goodbye Blue Sky”

The Mamas & The Papas’ “California Dreaming”:

Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”:

Abba’s “Dancing Queen” (Oh No He Didn’t!):

Neil Young’s “Heart of Gold”:

Pretty amazing, huh?
Think about this: Jung is not yet old enough to drive.

Kind of makes you wonder what you’ve done with your life. Hopefully it inspires all of us to do a lot more.

Speaking of more, check out his site, or see the dozens (seriously) other videos on YouTube.

For now, one more for the road (and quite possibly the most impressive one of them all):
