    If you don't play fingerstyle acoustic guitar it's hard to appreciate how difficult it is to have the smooth grove and complex musicality in playing pieces like this. The underlying techniques he's using take a lot of practice, BUT he obviously has a gift for arranging songs that goes beyond that. I've seen a fair amount of incredible players live and online and Kent has to be in the top 5 of living acoustic guitarists, right up there with Tommy Emmanuel , Sungha Jung, Mike Dawes, etc.

      @@markkubiak8296 Well, decide for yourself! Compare Kent's version of isn't she lovely (this one) with Sungha Jung's version here: czcams.com/video/o0NJiasWrLc/video.html I think Jung's playing is a bit cleaner and has a bit more spirit in it, but it's not a contest... I'm sure Kent could best Jung in different contexts too. I'm happy we have them both!
