Andy P I listen to this over and over again and it just keeps getting better! This kid hears everything and brings it back to us in a way shows us what we missed. Beyond the flawless technical execution is some deeper connection to the music and his listeners.

[@redwhiteblue9866]

I've played this through the years in different bands, I'm very aware of all aspects of it as well. Yeah, this was a really good version of it. You say kid, I almost don't want to know how old he is. Dudes blessed with some long fingers and major talent.

[@NotFoundead]

@@redwhiteblue9866 This is nothing but dedication, perseverance and will to go beyond. Do not understate one's achievements with words such as "blessed".

I just love how accurate your arrangements are. Its a sign of the level of maturity and respect you have for the composition and the artist rendition. You're obviously very talented, extremely musically intuitive and have high personal standards. All genius qualities that most of us lack in some way, myself included!!. I thoroughly enjoy your arrangements because I don't hear your ego if that makes sense. You're not making any changes to make it easier for you or add anything extra, you are just capturing every nuance you can and doing it tastefully and that deserves some mad respect. More people need to hear you! The future of the music world is going to be ok as long as we have Kent in it!

[@danielcbraga]

Great comment! Very precise! I also think the same: how Kent can capture remarkable notes, many times not even from a guitar, into his arrangements? It is a touch of genius of his.

[@albertobox3362]

Thank you for writing exactly what I had in my mind ... With my english, I would have spent a full day to translate it :) "I dont hear your ego" is the key: I feel the same, and it is the most important aspect of his amazing style. Hope he could preserve this, it makes the difference.

So much to say here. So MUCH technical brilliance. But for me, the high point is the pinched harmonics toward the end of the guitar solo. They're hard enough to play on their own. But while playing the rhythm and backing at the same time? Bravo. This kid has magic in his hands.

I've been playing guitar for years and I wouldnt have believed this until I saw it with my own eyes - amazing

[@beinwithall]

I've had this on repeat for roughly 15 times with my headphones on in the dark with my eyes closed. It's that bouncing rhythm, with his right hand its like his whole right arm is a Metronome; I've never heard rhythm with that kind of feeling and consistency from a finger picker. The intonation of those notes he's hitting truly bring that song to life. I'm simply overwhelmed in the best possible way by a musician that is, (in my humble opinion) a once in a generation talent that is single (double) handedly evolving the definition of what it means to play a guitar. Sure, there are a lot of other amazing finger picking geniuses out there that are incredibly talented but this is the first time I've ever come across something like this. I looked up both Tommy Emmanuel 's and Kent's versions of Drive My Car and Lady Madonna and I gotta give it to Kent, his version of those songs sound complete where as Tommy's (Without taking away anything from that incredibly gifted player in his own right) versions seem almost choppy and empty of notes that Kent was playing. Makes one wonder if they could be that good at anything in life. I suppose I shall try to find out. #Motivated
