    Those who don't play guitar don't get how intimidating the level of arranging and interpretation skill on display here is. The dude captured the essence of the original arrangement on a single acoustic guitar while doing the solo with feeling. Incredible.

      The arrangement itself is astounding. I arranged a multi-layered guitar track of this years back to learn Logic…and can attest to the nuances that underpin this song.

      The guitar goes back some hundreds of years and was made for good musicians. It has quite the history long before modern times. Spanish flamenco players used the guitar . Others play Bach and all manner of classical music - playing 4 lines of music at the same time using the right thumb and three fingers - beautiful sounds. This young man plays a combination of a modern approach, with a few flamenco flourishes near the end. Even a beginner can sound very nice on this lovely little instrument.

    • @Joeherman
      @Joeherman 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@FocohiAcoustic I beg to differ. Amazing songwriting? Take for example "Another Brick in the Wall" written by Waters. Harmonically, it is pretty basic and dull with a three note vamp. Lyrically it is dumb "We don't want no education". Sheesh. As dumb as it sounds. But when Gilmour comes in with his solo, it sizzles. Take out Gilmour's solo and nothing's there. Same with so many other songs that Waters supposedly "wrote".
      Most of the songs Waters wrote on The Wall are depressing downers on their own like "Don't Leave me Now" or "One of My Turns" Blecchh. Not very interesting lyrically and harmonically. When Gilmour steps in with the guitar solos on, let's say, Comfortably Numb however, those are the only high points of the album.
      Same with Wish You Were Here where that famous four note theme as well was composed by Gilmour. On Dark Side of the moon, can you imagine Time or Money without Gilmour's guitar work?
      One of the most interesting things Pink Floyd did was Great Gig in the Sky which had nothing to do at all with Waters.
      Of course Syd Barrett was a creative and clever songwriter, but not the dour faced Waters. Lucky for him he could ride the coat tails of his bandmates.
      In addition, Roger Waters tried to steal the Pink Floyd Name claiming he was the most important part of the band. Luckily he lost. Is that what you mean by "what he did for Pink Floyd? More like a selfish brute.

      I think in terms of style and arranging only Eddie Van Der Meer comes to mind, but they tackle very different tunes so it wouldn't really be easy to compare them, not that there is a need to. I am sure Kent would also agree that there is no "best" and it's just a matter of interpretation and each artist has a different way of expressing a piece. At best, once could argue the technique mastery, in which case I'd have to agree that Kent has the highest degree of mastery of it, of the people I've come across so far. Which isn't to say others couldn't do it, but they may preoretize other things over technique...

    The playing is amazing, but those are really some surreal arranging skills. Keeping the chords so open that they ring out doing the solo parts and incorporating percussion in it while keeping the flow of the song on a piece such as this is really worthy of all the praise. The choice of tuning certainly helps in making it sound fuller, but the process of arranging a song in a totally different tuning than standard makes it so much harder to work with. Yet you always seem to somehow find a way to get the most out of the instrument that is possible! Mad skills!

    You somehow managed to capture the entire band in that guitar. You didn't miss a single nuance or idiosyncrasy of that song and it was beautifully done!

    Man, not only do you do the guitar melody and vocals perfectly, you also make the base and drum arrangements the same as the original tape. You drive me crazy.

    Disgustingly good. Pretty much every single note of the solo was perfect and you still maintained perfect rhythm and timing of the other parts throughout. Take a bow, son.

    Simply incredible level of musicianship on display here. Take the first melodic guitar solo for instance at the 2:05 mark. The use of harmonics is amazing. The beautiful chord voicings, the fingerpicking, the melodies and harmonies, the constant rhythm with the picking hand. Someone who doesn’t play the guitar may not know how talented this individual is. But I do. Well done.

      He is a natural one man band ... but using the guitar as everything, not like the old days ... chords for the rhythm, fingers and palms for drums, bass on the bottom 3 strings then melody and a flipping whole orchestra on the top 3 strings ... he doesn't even need to sing ... brilliant

    カッコよ過ぎ!!ケント中毒にかかっている人、続出なんではないか?ギターのことは全くわからないが、今までに聞いたこともないし、見たこともないことはわかる。とにかく音楽的センスが抜群。聞いていて心地良いことこの上ない。ギターの構造などがわかれば、ケントの凄さがもっと分かるのか知りたい。どのようにしてこんな天才ができたのか。心から応援している!!

    I can’t possibly add to what others have commented.. This is absolutely mind blowingly good. It leaves musicians and guitar players and anyone else who can understand the level of difficulty and skill required to pull this off, at a loss for words. Fully expected an overlay for the 2nd solo, and then he does it without one. Truly unbelievable.

  • @thetruth9541
    @thetruth9541 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    We now seldom see someone still in their youth playing musics like this. Kent is one of the few that is so passionate no matter what era the song came from. He just not play it, but he also put his heart into it.

    How does this not have a hundred or a thousand times more views? There are some incredible finger style guitarists on TH-cam, but this guys is, I would say, easily the best and this cover was just mind blowing. Earned a sub and a like for sure, the least I can do!
