An amazing young talent on ukulele & guitar

Feng E is an 11 year old from Taiwan and a spectacular musical talent. He went viral last summer playing Classical Gas in a park. He has appeared on Ellen and in Asia's Got Talent. But the real gold is his YouTube channel. Come for an ethereal rendition of The Cranberries' Zombie, stay for a great cover of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and much much more. Finally, go back to see where the talent got started in the very first video on the channel, Hey Jude, probably when he was around 5 years old, just starting to learn to play and already darn good.

This is what happens when you incarnate às a living avatar of a rock god and your folks give you a ukulele.

Favorited to return to frequently as inspiration for my own burgeoning ukulele hero (aged 6).

Hypnotic intro to Hotel California slowly with metronome.

Thanks for the links, Long Way. He is so absorbed in the music. These put a big smile on my face.

Can anyone link me to the video where he smashes a ukulele against the back of PewDiePie's skull?

wow. My parents got my kid a shitty toy ukulele for christmas, and watching the Classical Gas video, I am kinda in disbelief that you can actually play that on this instrument.
