My older brothers introduced this album to me when I was 12. Now 40 years later I'm listening to Kent's cover bobbing my head and tapping my feet bringing back so many memories of those times. Thank you Kent!

[@nolebuc1]

This could be the best acoustic guitar player ever! Wow!

[@jodyroberts1008]

Dude sounds like he actually has voices coming that guitar. I listen to a lot of music from Phish to Miles Davis.... this right up there. Whatever you do, please never stop playing and surround the chaotic world, we need more beautiful muisc from you. You make a lot of people from all over the world happy and smile at your videos. Thank you for putting your craft up here sharing with all us.

[@br0ddd93]

did u watch phish 1999 c over after this???

[@jodyroberts1008]

That was 1998 NYE going in to 1999. No i was not there. I have only seen them 3 times at NYE.@@br0ddd93

LOVE that he’s wearing a Prince t-shirt during the video! Awesome!! This is the finest, and, funkiest groove I’ve heard this kid do. And, that is saying SOMETHING! IMO - This young man’s absolutely unrivaled groove, and, his equally untouchable ability to capture the root soul, as well as all the important notes n nuances of a song, is what separates him from the other finger style greats. Wait! Before all the lovers of players get all in an uproar... I’m not saying Kent is better. Tommy E, Sung Ja, Alip Ba Ta & Luca S are amaze-balls. As are a handful of uber-talented others. I’ve watched quite a few YT vids by other greats. But: 1: Nobody, has his groove, and his ability to maintain any groove, over multiple other song parts; and 2: Nobody else tries to keep so close to the OG arrangement, nor, try to, simultaneously play so many instruments, which, again, IMO, captures the soul of the songs so well.

[@terryj3385]

He has the gift of groove.

[@simonsmith874]

Just admiring the usual brilliance of the arrangement, timing, instruments, then he starts on the vocal part over the top… oh that is just ridiculous! Awesome talent.

[@simondsmith1971]

Couldn`t have said it better myself😃

[@user-zn2gk8rw8z]

. I can even see the dance steps of the Revolution members in my mind's eye. I can even picture Dez and Lisa & Wendy's voices. It's amazing.

[@boofuls]

Originally would have been Jill Jones voice not Wendy's 😊

[@oonaamookhao]

Imagine Kent jamming with Prince! = MAGIC!🎸

[@peternemeth1777]

Prince is dead already.

[@oonaamookhao]

@@peternemeth1777 He didn’t die. He transformed! He’s no longer da prince, but, DA KING!🤪

YOU DO PRINCE TOO? Dam you are one super soulful cat! I bow to you borther... Peace & Gratitude

[@syd_seiko]

[@babylotioni2696]

King of acoustic...he deserves more subscribers...am sharing it to all of my friends..👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@abcderanzi]

his ability to play fingerstyle in perfect beat is amazing

[@mm-zn5hh]

The King of Acoustic playing the music of Prince.

[@chudbrain3880]

funky and beautiful, I am sure Prince would love this!

[@DialogDontArgue]

Most definitely! This fucking rules!

[@supranotoprasetyo5225]

he really is an alien. Extraordinary

[@Bill-dp3yl]

Thank you Kent for all the music you share. I have no talent in music, but I appreciate good music and someone like you that shares what you have been blessed with.

[@Samscoinsandheavymetal]

You’ve taken your incredible skills to a whole new stratosphere .. the fills are absolute perfection.. you could have an 8.8 Rictor scale earth quake going on and you wouldn’t fall out of time

[@khriscuison1945]

watch this like hundreds of time already...wow!

[@sakatacanada]

すごいー。ギターからリサとウェンディとベースの彼とプリンスの声が聴こえてくる！

[@doyleeee]

ライブ行きたい！と思い調べたら直近は関西ばかりなのかぁ〜！ぜひ関東にも来て欲しい。。

[@jonoveracker9682]

I love how you represented the 3 different vocal voices during the verses.

[@davidbooker8319]

Kent, you absolutely NEVER cease to amaze!! I swear you have a secret mini-band in that guitar. I’ve never heard anything like you. Keep it coming. Keep pushing the envelope on what we may see as impossible for us ordinary humans!!

[@menkish3184]

圧倒的すぎ！これからの活動も楽しみにしております！！

[@jj355f1]

Ken, every nuance was in the pocket. Huge props for capturing the heart and soul of this tune!!

[@faiwong8534]

KENT NAILED IT , probably the Guitarist that could MAXIMIZE all the CAPacity could happened on the Guitar with right SOUL, RYTHEM , MUSIC, NOTE, TECHNIQUE, MOOD, MELODICS, WHATEVER YOU CALL it.

[@kimlee9441]

This young man is just amazing!! The vibe, the jam, the music selection, and best of all he puts his special touch while keeping the original artist’s feel. Love it!

[@kevinoconnor2921]

Man, you are extremely talented. The syncopated rhythm you pull off for the drums is "OUTTA 'DIS WORLD!👍

[@ericlemon9232]

This is impossible to play. Fortunately, Kent doesn’t realize this.

[@estond]

... every time he play that part like a wind

[@jaybeemanofficial]

So true! 😀✌️😅

[@mgpvii]

Hahah, awesome comment.

A humble request, please consider sheet music for this arrangement. I will support straight away. Love the book and this! Thanks as always.

[@acteon54]

Great Prince fan, I’ve discovered you with the Pink Floyd Time vidéo. And now this one from my favorite musician ever. Thank you !

[@v2blaster228]

The tabs/scores you sell are cool and all, but I would pay good money to watch a video of you arranging songs in real time, going through different fingering options, chord inversions etc. Please consider a project like that!

[@hansbockler]

When I see kent throw down a new KZbin video, I stop all the things and just listen

He honestly is.. maybe I’m ignorant, but I’ve never seen anybody so what he is really doing at his level.

​@@joshh.3870 He's awesome, I love kent's arrangements. You should check out Lucas Imbiriba as well if you like this style. Start with hotel California, thank me later.

[@juantimer]

​@@zebediahwilliams1697Lucas is great and he's several levels below Kent. Kent's cover of Hotel California was already better 5 years ago when he was 15... Nobody is holding the tempo and groove like Kent.

[@zebediahwilliams1697]

@@juantimer agree to disagree, but I like both.

@@juantimer Luca plays to impress an audience and Kent plays to serve the music. They're both insane

We all know he’s good, but still every time he uploads a new video and you read the title of the song, you say no that’s not possible with finger style even for Kent, and a sec into the video your mind is absolutely blown. It’s a show.

I need you as my sensei. Teach me Master 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

[@Bebeshiito]

I finally figured out how does Kent do it. It is the only logical explanation. He has little brains in each of his fingers, like octopuses do; each finger is capable of independent movement and sensitivity. I mean… this has to be the explanation, right?. How does he manage to be consistently THIS AWESOME?
