    It's so uncanny...there are musicians and then there are those chosen by music to be its instrument.

    That's crazy! When he went into the two different rhythms. And then took it in! 🔥🔥🔥

    Awesome. He is just playing as he feels. His fingers are leading him to different sounds. God given talent.

    That smile he gave over to the drummer at 1:38 was like "oh you feel me, huh?"

    How on earth does someone so young have so much musical / Mathematical depth ?

      It's called being gifted. In the case of Matthew Whitaker and Corey Henry they are both unique in that they are what I refer to as "HYPER" gifted. In other word, they play at levels even gifted players cannot reach no matter how much they practice or refine their craft.

    My Dad was the best piano/keyboardist I’ve ever heard or played with. That sentiment wasn’t just from family. Everyone around (just south of Richmond) also thought the same. This child (still teenager) is incredible and his ability to play a song after listening to it once is doubly so. Dad was that way and I can do it on guitar. We are not handicapped in any way. To hear this young man play and to know he hasn’t seen his fingers touch a key, except in his "mind’s eye, is a gift from God, a quirk in nature, however you choose to see it. This gift should be cultivated but not at the expense of his childhood. Let him do high school, let him do college. Then he can decide the direction his life will take and head off into that sunset. An amazing talent, an amazing young man. ❤️😷🤘

    I don't want to offend anyone, however what I see is a bunch that don't know how to appreciate the origin and MUSIC. That is a FREE style. OK
