weeping vibes

[@jasonmudgarde286]

Amazing how top players reference Ted Greene. The cream floats up...

[@andybaldman]

Many of your songs are impressive. But this one earns true guitarists respect. RIP Ted Greene.

[@akinasu.]

Your guitar cleanse my heart

[@phillynn79]

Unbelievable. You can almost feel Ted smiling down.

[@pjyakker]

In the first minute, I think "I can do that." By minute 2 I realize I am but a man with hammers for hands. So beautiful. Thank you.

[@SB_9_]

If you close your eyes, it could be Pierre Bensusan playing. That's about the highest compliment I could give - well done, Kent!

[@hanaleibay6648]

The complexity of this piece and the way you play it so melodically and effortlessly, a sign of not only a true gift and master craftsmanship but pure genius. Wow!

[@havardhausberg7546]

Ted greene has the most beautiful arragements, and Whats amazing is that it is improvised

[@foolbritannia956]

Like warm chocolate for the ears, heart and soul- bloody hell A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ❤❤❤

[@soulofhawk1742]

yup. Didnt know anything about Ted Greene until now. Thanks for the music and the education.

[@andrewkeen3129]

He's known as the Chord Chemist for a reason and there has probably never been somebody as knowledgeable on the guitar as Ted Greene. Amazing that Kent played this and just proves his incredible taste and knowledge of music even more.

[@marlenec.francia767]

Poignant and sweet. Thank you for the gift of talented brilliant you.

[@UncleWally3]

Come for the arrangement; stay for the moment. With Nishimura, there’s always a moment . . .

[@4s-ter]

Thank you, Kent.

[@leeellington9499]

I’ve never seen anybody attempt a Ted Greene arrangement so seeing it played is a real treat. Kudos!

[@andrewkeen3129]

I already am an extreme fan of Kent and his playing and to see him playing an arrangement from the Chord Chemist himself couldn't have made me more proud.

[@andybaldman]

Hear, hear.

[@Dane23232]

Ted Greene is the unknown GOAT

[@victorwong9622]

Ted Greene played this on a Tele, but I’m sure he’d love this version!! Great choice, I hope your cover familiarizes a new generation with Ted Greene!

[@catman1008]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard on nylon strings! A great arrangement by Ted Greene and played wonderfully by a great Fingerstyle guitarist. I listen to or watch this every day!

[@carlosbengco5474]

But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again....Brings back a lot of memories..thanks Kent.

[@harumimi4016]

美しい音色… 素敵なギターですね

[@bensherwood777]

Wonderful. I hope life is smiling at you

[@RyanWright11]

So good!

[@timg.8656]

I recognized this as a Ted Greene arrangement right away. I own the Ted Greene CD - and all of his books. Sounds great Kent! 👍👍❤️

[@crispyexperience7782]

You got Ted greene CD ? Where did you get that ??

[@timg.8656]

@@crispyexperience7782 Hi. I actually bought this as a vinyl record album 1st. Amazon has the Ted Greene CD "Solo Guitar" for $19.34 and/or a streaming version (for Amazon Prime members). It was recorded in 1977, has 8 songs & is 33 minutes long. He wrote a few instructional books for guitarists too. I highly recommend "Chord Chemistry" for all guitarists. I hope that helps. 👍👍- Tim

[@timg.8656]

P.S. - You may find this CD on eBay or some other place that sells new and/or used CDs.

[@fairfax888]

Beautiful thanks Kent!

[@jackdaniels7031]

Certainly a certain smile 🙂

[@EricLeePiano]

What a high praise from a maestro himself... and if the song is such wonderfully heard it must be even a greater joy to play it. Thank you for this Kent.

[@katodiaz4867]

Such a beautiful walk down the neck there at the end. Beautiful sounding guitar. Love those snappy strings.

You are eclectic Kent. Playing many kinds of style shows your versatility. Your rendering of A Certain Smile is tasteful and brings nostalgic memories. Just lovely ❤️.

I just bought your book of arrangements. I cannot hope to ever play even one of them, but I love watching along on the sheet music while you play!

[@PC-fz8bx]

Hey Kent, always have loved your work, listening to this made me think I've never heard you play Cavatina, by John Williams I think your style of playing could take it to another level. Keep up the good work 👏

[@fcsolis]

A Certain Smile. What a beautiful song. If you pair it up with Wonderful Wonderful the medley would be super. Thanks.

[@AntonWingfield]

[Edit: Thank you for changing the title!] Hi Kent! I'm a big fan for a long time now and have listened to all of your uploads dozens of times. I have to mention something very important to me: I understand that these type of video titles sometimes work very well for the algorithm and generate many views for a short period of time. But people watch this kind of videos and move on. It's hard to find these titles and search for them or remember a specific video if many titles are like this. In my opinion your videos are not just for the moment. They are timeless. I and many others will return and listen to your music over and over. Experimenting is totally fine and want many others to discover your music but please consider changing the titles to the usual short informative way after a few weeks after the upload. I wish you all the best! - Julian -

[@gnutix]

Your music is worth so much more than clickbait titles! 100% agree with Uya on that one.

[@jeremygonzal8603]

I thought this was clickbaity at first, like tooting his own horn. But the arrangement I believe is not his. He is actually just playing the arrangement and praising it.

[@gusionparsley1491]

I don't even know if the title of the video was for you, Kent, or for me because it can be applied to both. Your guitar playing is awesome as usual.

[@mikehomner4724]

That was beautiful Kent, superb arrangement! Have you ever seen Pete Huttlinger "Josie"? :):)

[@fabiocasale586]

Me too 😳😳😳

[@adrio_schwingel]

Sensacional! Essa é música que eu mais gosto do Ted. Sensational! This is my Ted's favorite song.

[@patrickcockett8062]

Lindissima

[@gregf438]

Yes, you make up shit beautifully pleasing 😁

[@cfc1001001cfc]

It sounds like Kent has summoned the spirit of Joe Pass on this piece...bravo!!!
