Travis Sayles, Corey Henry, Quennel Gaskins, yes get to know him! They are on their own levels...incomparable to anyone or even each other! Oh! Corey Ling will get there soon! I shed to all of their vids!

[evans1977fly]

@KareemByEar1Year I agree with them 3 100%. Here's someone else you may REALLY like: leonard razar " lords prayer" he was on another level with that song

[lovemydrums2002]

Hands down the best rendition ive ever heard of this song.

[MisterMan3OOO]

Everybody has a hero....Travis Sayles is Mine.

[TheGetterdone]

@seanwilson75. WELL SAID!

[Major2219]

Travis and Cory Henry have similar styles I see, & they both be making those faces when they play.

[Jztwrshp3]

Can someone pick up my jaw. Its on the floor somewhere!

[ballfan123]

Was this legal? OMG!!!

[blackmoney37]

@ballfan123 No this is a class A Felony, Not punishable by anyone on earth......lol and he is Definitly Guilty

[damable442]

This dude is a daggum idiot...wow1

[jazzlab6]

what happened to cory henrys video a this place?

[godschild1991ful]

@jazzlab6 i said the same thing but travis one of my favorites runs is crisp and chords is clean but my opinion is he could have laid down foundation firat before he did anything he probably did the video starts when u press on

[toofpick151]

I had to play 2:24 like 10 times. Aww man.

[1payday]

From facial expressions to chords and runs simply AMAZING!!!!

[GodsFinestChick]

thos faces!!..lol

beast tho

[melloads]

OMG HE WHOOPED THAT!!!!!

[AGpraise]

Did he change keys at 1:24 to 1:29?

I know he did....I just wanted to ask...dude is cold..

He's a character to

[samuellaoye]

YES MIN 3RD UP

[goolsbyr]

Travis, you are still crazy!

[CheyneyJr]

bro u is truely gifted my brotha but u show is ugly but u a beast tho! lol

[09Mitch30]

Wow! Where do you begin...From his articulations, use of dynamics, experssion, chords, runs..the list goes on, but even through all of the musical elements he still kept the melody of the hymn consistant!..But man...!What an amazing interpretation!!. Be blessed my brother!

[DrumLadie]

THERES A WORD INSIDE THAT LESLIE!!!

[fmason83]

LOL!!!!

[seanwilson75]

This is the nastiest rendition of a hymn I have heard in a long time! Everyone is talking about how expressive he is and its true. But even without watching his expressions I would be blown away by his chord structure, the clarity of his runs, and his disregard for the laws of music. Unbelievable!

[yungatown]

this is like one of the most intelligent comments I've seen on youtube in a long time! lol

[Desveroleth]

He needs to pull his pants up it doesnt look like a good example.

[rjohson]

@seanwilson75 i really appreciate your coment here it helped me to beter understand what i was feeling when this man plays his music.

[Blackarican687]

JESUUUUUS.. this man has such passion and expression. I love it.

and i totally agree killkeyz. God gives you the tools but you have to learn how to use them humbly and diligantly to his glory. If anybody disagrees with you they have a lot to learn.

[killakeyz8]

thx man

[blacrican]

Hey we got the same name. You sure we are not related. This better not be my brother or sister up here tryin to steal Travis Sayles chords before i get um. lol. Get at your boy...

[killakeyz8]

i know i going to get bad comment for this but dont hate me for this but i hate when people see a nice musician and say God blessed them with a gift God gives us the tools to get better what people have to understand it doesnt just come you gotta put in the work

[da1c2345]

[blackmoney37]

[musiqisme26]

This is Dope............not to take anything away at all............I hear the John Peters and Shedrick Mitchell influence

[Orbot]

Travis comes fromm an anointed family. The Sales' are very well known in NYC where he's from!

[cdawg3712]

o.k., with this performance, he just took the #1 spot on youtube organ church keyboardist.

Contiunity, keystriking, chord structures, volume, and bridge control... I haven't heard it this good until now.

There are plenty of "hammers" out there, but this one did it for me.

I've studied music for a looong time, classical, jazz, and other forms. I know what true technique is and this dude got it!

Making each note an instrument is the key.

[trunxkraft]

YIKES.

[DRUMKINGZ]

[musicialrick02]

This cat is on a whole notha level!!!!!!!!

[BACUPDT]
