    This is one of the most amazing fingerstyle versions of any song Ive ever seen. Kent you are a true virtuoso.

    My man, this has rocketed straight past "amazing" straight into "OH COME ON"
    Chicago's musical arrangements sometimes border on trigonometry, they're so complex - and here you've gone and laid them ALL down, in one take, on one guitar, all at once.
    Seriously - this is almost inhumanly good.

    It’s so cool that you played it from the mildly obscure intro all the way to the warbling trombone outro. No corners cut. All voices heard. My kind of arrangement. 👍

    Once again, Kent, you capture the heart of the music. Chicago came on the scene as a Jazz rooted rock band. This is one of those songs that demonstrates their totally unique style and innovative writing and chord choices. You have somehow managed to showcase the sound and feel of the entire band in your two hands with that beautiful guitar (which I absolutely love). I have now listened to this 3 times and plan to listen more to catch all of the incredible nuances you accent in this brilliant offering. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and to the 'soul' of the music.

    So fu***kn good .. I don’t know which part I like best the relentless constant ringing of all 6 strings, the walking bass line. The perfectly timed snare hits on 2&4, the perfect ride and fall in volume at the perfect spots, or the incredibly in the pocket fills
    I can watch this in repeat all day and like it more and more each time I hear it

    Oh, sure, Kent, you might be able to play the melody, the horn riffs, the backing vocals, walk the bass line, play the fills and the percussion perfectly all at the same time, but....what? No spoken dialogue on the third verse? Ha! Kidding aside, your talent makes my head spin. And you're what,,,18, 19? What a gift.
