Wow….beautifully done Kent. I know Terry is smiling up in heavens! Peace Danny

[GilSkip]

If I didnt see this with my own two eyes I wouldnt believe this was possible. This kid absolutely nails every nuance in these songs. The devil is in the details and this kid went into the details and kicked the devil square in the nuts. This is something past amazing. Loss for words here.

[Soccerman]

I have been playing guitar for 62 years, after watching this I am taking up knitting instead.

[Lavadx]

I've been a musician for almost 40 years now and I've NEVER seen a talent like yours Kent, ever... God gave you a gift and you have not wasted a single note of it up till this point in your life and I thank you for sharing it... BRAVO!!!

[ddbruno]

As far as I'm concerned, this is the greatest guitar performance ever. I've never seen anything like this before and most likely never will again. Amazing. Thanks, Kent.

[jaikumarvenkatchari]

Not in my wildest imagination did I ever think anyone could cover this song.
CHICAGO and Terry Kath would be soooo proud and you did it with such aplomb and personal enjoyment.
Your talent, skill and taste in music are impeccable Kent sama.

[jjaypem]

25 or 6 to 4 contains one of the great lead guitar lines in rock history. I have seen Chicago play this live in concert about 5 times. Anyone would be proud to be able to duplicate just Terry Kath's brilliant work all by itself. To be able to play his solo note for note (with all but the wah-wah pedal), plus all the horn and rhythm section parts at the same time? Lord have mercy.

[lazydog]

2:14 that's one of the most amazing feats I've ever seen performed on an acoustic guitar.

[kristopherjones]

This dude almost looks bored. These robots get better every day. Seriously gifted and diligent artist here. Crazy talent.

[ChadDoebelin]

you fucking shredded it bro.

the world doesnt know it yet, but this young man is one of the greatest guitar players alive right now.

[oolabob]

This is one of the most rocking songs by the best band of its time at the peak of their greatness. It should be impossible for any one musician on any one instrument to play it this well. First he perfectly evokes the really tight rhythm section, then has his guitar sing the vocal melody with just the right feel and phrasing, and with all of that going on, he still plays the guitar solos perfectly.
Not just the best guitarist I've ever heard; also the best musician.

[robertpeters]

Truly one of the most outstanding guitar players in the world.

[alexandrebenois]

I've been a guitar player for decades. Before discovering you, I didn't even know it was physically possible to play like this on the instrument.

[shelceygusek]

I will never get over the solo spot at approx. 2:10 - 2:40

The literal definition of mind-blowing.

[paperbacktripper]

I love how Kent puts the tuning in the description so that I can play along with him.

[The_Kirk_Lazarus]

This beyond unreal. The level of control with all that syncopation has never been reached before this video.

[eightmoonss.r.o.]

my man is in the zone and isn't even breaking a sweat....on one of the most impressive pieces that i have seen him play. putting this on endless loop.

[supervette]

that's crazy you can play that on one guitar, if you weren't watching it you'd swear that's two guitars playing - very impressive, boy gotz

[rickrigney]
