    Many of your songs are impressive.
    But this one earns true guitarists respect.
    RIP Ted Greene.

    In the first minute, I think "I can do that." By minute 2 I realize I am but a man with hammers for hands. So beautiful. Thank you.

    What a high praise from a maestro himself... and if the song is such wonderfully heard it must be even a greater joy to play it. Thank you for this Kent.

    Ted Greene played this on a Tele, but I’m sure he’d love this version!! Great choice, I hope your cover familiarizes a new generation with Ted Greene!

  • @andrewkeen3129
    @andrewkeen3129 Год назад +9

    I already am an extreme fan of Kent and his playing and to see him playing an arrangement from the Chord Chemist himself couldn't have made me more proud.

  • @soulofhawk1742
    @soulofhawk1742 2 года назад +7

    yup. Didnt know anything about Ted Greene until now. Thanks for the music and the education.

    • @andrewkeen3129
      @andrewkeen3129 Год назад +1

      He's known as the Chord Chemist for a reason and there has probably never been somebody as knowledgeable on the guitar as Ted Greene. Amazing that Kent played this and just proves his incredible taste and knowledge of music even more.

    • @timg.8656
      @timg.8656 2 года назад +1

      @@crispyexperience7782 Hi. I actually bought this as a vinyl record album 1st. Amazon has the Ted Greene CD "Solo Guitar" for $19.34 and/or a streaming version (for Amazon Prime members). It was recorded in 1977, has 8 songs & is 33 minutes long. He wrote a few instructional books for guitarists too. I highly recommend "Chord Chemistry" for all guitarists. I hope that helps. 👍👍- Tim

    [Edit: Thank you for changing the title!]
    Hi Kent!
    I'm a big fan for a long time now and have listened to all of your uploads dozens of times.
    I have to mention something very important to me:
    I understand that these type of video titles sometimes work very well for the algorithm and generate many views for a short period of time.
    But people watch this kind of videos and move on. It's hard to find these titles and search for them or remember a specific video if many titles are like this.
    In my opinion your videos are not just for the moment.
    They are timeless.
    I and many others will return and listen to your music over and over.
    Experimenting is totally fine and want many others to discover your music but please consider changing the titles to the usual short informative way after a few weeks after the upload.
    I wish you all the best!

      I thought this was clickbaity at first, like tooting his own horn. But the arrangement I believe is not his. He is actually just playing the arrangement and praising it.
