Tina is a master of a guitar-playing style called “Shredding”. Wikipedia defines guitar shredding as the following, “Shred guitar or shredding is a virtuoso lead guitar solo playing style for the guitar, based on various advanced and complex playing techniques, particularly rapid passages and advanced performance effects.”
From the age of 13, Tina started to focus on electric rock performances. Around the same time, she began uploading videos to social media which received comments from notable guitarists and even guitar manufacturers. Tina developed a relationship with guitar manufacturer “Vigier Guitars” and her playing has been publicly noticed by Wolfgang Van Halen, an American musician and the former bassist for Van Halen.
Despite all of her online attention and success, Tina seems to have disappeared from the YouTube platform for the last 6 years. Guitar fans across the internet have been speculating reasons why she has stopped uploading content to no avail. Although recently inactive on YouTube, her followers continuously grow from her previous videos, each one becoming more and more popular every day.
She attended formal guitar studies at the age of 6 where she began classical training. By just 9 years old she was already performing advanced solos such as the lengthy but wonderful classic guitar solo from “Hotel California” by the Eagles. Her incredible skill level for her age has propelled her into stardom amongst guitar fans and music fans across the world.
During an interview with “theguitarchannel.biz”, Tina said, Of course, the making of a buzz on the Internet with the Van Halen solo and the follow-up of the buzz with my second video is very impressive. But for me, I have not yet started my career as a guitarist.”
Tina S hasn’t uploaded any videos to her YouTube channel for nearly 4 years. No one really knows why and forums, including Reddit, have speculated it might be because she is focusing on her university studies. Whatever the reason, her brilliant videos are still available on her YouTube channel for you to watch. If you follow her, maybe she will make an epic return video one day, we certainly hope she does.
