Augustine Strings, Thank you for your support.
Parabéns Eduardo, muito legal!
..and I am again, Laurel-ly mesmerized.... wow, just, wow...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Classicals are on both of my Classical guitars 💞
How much does ir cost for this guitar?!😮
It
Muy buena prueba de sonido con cuerdas Augustine, muchas gracias por compartir sus impresiones.
Kevin is one of my favorite musicians. Whatever he plays is always so musically tasty and soulful. I imagine everyone likes Kevin for his work coupled with his kind and humble nature. I love his duos with his father as well who himself is a good player, and those are heartwarming videos that reveal the familial origins of Kevin's joy in music. Thanks for this chat and for featuring Kevin and his wickedly good "Georgia on My Mind."
what a crappy title and episode? WTF is he doing, putting on strings for no reason and not actually doing it? get better content and stick to the focus of the title.
Woah sourpuss
WHEN ARE THE THREE TRICKS? OR IS THIS CLICKBAIT????

I swear Kevin's voice is so similar to GM Hikaru's. 14:12
I'd love to own that Augustine hoodie...

I’ve following Kevin since the early TH-cam videos. Heard Kevin live at the GFA in Charleston. I admire how well Kevin has progressed as a guitarist and a wonderful person. Look forward to the Singapore dreams becoming a reality. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Guitar Allah
Does anyone know what tune Kevin is playing and who arranged it ?????
I believe the tune is Georgia on My Mind arranged by Bill Piburn. th-cam.com/video/X1X3A61BC6o/w-d-xo.html
@@augustinestrings Thank You !!!!
It was so amazing to watch live 😂 an amazing interview Edu and Kevin!!!!
Awesome episode! Great job everyone!
Incredible sense of rythm. Love your version of Blusette too (on siccas's guitar) !
uah! pasta forever i hope! 💥💥💥👍 ciao dall'Italia 🐻👍
Laurel showcases her dynamic skill that a rush of flare!
Great piece so well cooked! Sincere congrats from Rome
What this teenager represents is hope. The much maligned Gen Z generation gets a bad rap from awful social media construct such as the Hawk Tuah stupidity. And yet, here is this immensely talented teenager to make us hope again for the future. My blessings to her parents since they must be very special people to be able to nurture such talent. I am confident Laurel will never stop developing her gift. If she can perform like this in 2024, imagine what she can do 10 years from now. And yet, she will be under age 30. Now, that is crazy!
Loved your killer left pinky! And your exquisite right hand technique is a great joy to watch! Would love to see what you could do in a jazz setting with your right pinky in play as well. Fabulous performance!!!
Brava!
superb - bravo!
Amazing!! 🎉🎉
Beautiful playing❤
Love it and keep posting more music Laurel . Thanks
Super performance of a wonderful piece. Yes, backpacking and pasta go well together and a great way to balance all that classical guitar practice. Keep your life in balance. Hike the Sierra!
Guitar princess
Nice to see & hear Laurel again. Nice comp! And Merry Christmas as we celebrate the birth of Love's Perfection.
Absolutely wonderful! Magnificent performance. I want to hear more.
