      ..like writing a movie, then shooting it in one take.. just the amount of calculation that must go into every note and every transition, no missed opportunities, no missed details, no compromises _on anything,_ yet everything all at the same time, *from a box with strings.* We've arrived; this is it, the ultimate, logical conclusion of "playing the guitar". I mean, what else is there - making it beatbox, or talk to animals? If, as a species, we stopped everything else we're doing right now and began beaming this channel into space with all the power we can muster, we might finally have justified our existence to the cosmos, is all. "Playing the guitar". One thing we've definitely got down pat.

You capture the vocals so well that I can hear every single word in my head!!! I've been playing since I was 4, born to two musicians, now I'm 46. There have been a couple times here and there when I discovered other types of the arts and put music on the back burner, but youy friend.....you've got to be practicing 10 hours a day, right?

    All I know is that I've yet to make it through a single one of your compositions without crying!!!! Trust me when I say this is very much NOT a bad thing!!!!

    Hey Kent,
    Good music to me, is when you forget if it's a band playing, just a guitar , maybe a piano, if there's singing at all.
    Damn, you Even forget you're listening...
    From the moment you reached the first chorus, I just forgot myself, and for me, this where the magic happens, and the reason I love music.
    It's so full, rich, tight, flowing.
    So Michael.
    You're a true gift to the music world my friend.
    Wish I'll see you live one day, or even better, play together.
    Stay safe,

    Another reason why I love your arrangements, Kent, is because other guitarists, particular jazz musicians, reharmonize and add so much to the song that I can't even tell what's going on. I don't understand any of the complex, over-the-top intellectual musical stuff going, and that's coming from someone who has a basic grasp of music theory already. I love how sweet and concise your covers are-- nothing overly intellectual or jazzy, just the good ol' song perfectly recreated, with all the details, as the original sounds. Keep doing what you do!

      other (jazz) guitarist cannot do this .. this guy is totally unique.. we are witnessing something really special here..ive been playing guitar over 45 years and have seen
      a lot of the great (fingerstyle) players but no one can come close to this guy... just compare tuck andress his version.. then u know what i mean

      I agree completely, the man does percussion, lead, rhythm, bass, and melody but doesn’t add any unnecessary flare.

      @mmettej 2 роки тому +11

      As someone who was trained for years in jazz I completely agree. I respect this style so much because of the musical intricacies and harmony arrangement, Not just dissonant bs that’s purposefully avant- grade

      Your opinion isn't a reflection on jazz though, it's a reflection on your own simple tastes. Preferring comic books to Michaelangelo doesn't make him less of a master.

    became obsessed guitar when I watched SRV's "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo performance back in 2007. watching Kent this past year is the only other time I've been truly in awe of someone playing guitar. a lot of amazing players out there today, but this man is a legendary talent. hope we all realize what we're witnessing here

    My God that was amazing! As a lifelong MJ fan, I idolize and obsess over all his unique and intricate vocal phrasings and man, you mimicked them all perfectly on the guitar. You really must have studied the song inside and out. I enjoyed that so much and I am blown away! Well done Sir. Michael would be proud!
