[phineworld]

Beautifully rendered. It is inspiring. Love this interpretation. Just wonderful!

[Optichero]

@phineworld Thank you.. and Merry Christmas !!!

Kevin

[MrJamieStates]

I always come back here every couple of weeks to listen to this arrangement of this song, and the beautiful way that you play it Kevin. Just fantastic

[Optichero]

@MrJamieStates Hi MrJamesStates.. thanks for watching. 

Kevin

[mo09hhjgyer]

One of my most favorite songs and you seem to add something special. Just love it. by the how old are you now?

[gromins]

Thiis is easy. Try doing that as a non-asian!

[MrMightymorphosis]

I'm in tears listening to this. Qualey's version is my favorite and I have many, many. To think someone so young has this much talent is heartwarming

[cihad2003]

thats a wondeful interpretation

[flyryguy2]

This is my favorite version of the song, thank you for the post. 

[sodakind]

wow he whoop my ass in this lol Beautiful :)

[Carter8442]

Thank you Kevin! you have an awesome talent! Keep up the GREAT work!

[612gideon]

Beautiful !!! + Peace +

[xYiazmatx]

That actually brought a tear to my eye, and i listen to hard rock/metal :) <3, great playing.

[xniquilador]

A very interesting take... I dig it!! I l sense a lot of feeling in it... If I may suggest for you to hit a low B @1:24 so that the melody reaches a particular touch... try it and let me know. ^_^

Keep up the good work!

[Kenduno]

very good

[hellovermind]

You're Singaporean right?

[Optichero]

@hellovermind yes indeed...

Kevin

[gerryforeman]

Thanks Kevin for sharing your gift with us. With best wishes

[3daywkend]

My father told me it takes 10,000 hrs of practice to get good at something...and then there are prodigies.

[NO11YOU]

@3daywkend It could be that those "prodigies" might have more willpower and determination then us mortals =) , thus putting in those hours.

[Parishrut2]

Right in competition with Sungha Jung!

[brice797]

I've been practicing for years and still cant seem to find the passion you have. Guess its one of those things your given, best of luck.

[lamiqui]

You are an amazing boy, and your music is wonderful. God bles you and your family.

[xXxroseXrapunzelxXx]

You hold the guitar in a very elegant way, Kevin. :P

[MST3Kfanatic]

it brings tears, to know that there is such profound beauty in the world as this song by Bach, written with love for his Christ & yet vast majority of professed Christians in secular power are only thinking about how to money from beauty..truly caring only about mammon...i'm agnostic, but i can't wait for judgement day!

[MrDemino]

You can't get this good at something you *don't* like. I think he understands and moreover, enjoys the music which he is playing.

[hellovermind]

you look like Jay chou

[dr0berts]

That is just awesome.

[Fafasungrass]

Why is it that all the Asian type ppl r always doing good music at a young age? Is it because they r demanding over there?

[therealiscariat]

@Fafasungrass because they dont waste their youth on silly b.s. like football... instead choosing to beautify the world.

[Fafasungrass]

I hate football and sports but it is proven that at a young age, or young musicians, classical music is thought to be horrible. Musicians at a young age do not realize the essense of music. It is just human nature. Dont get my wrong on this, classical music is though

[Bjowolf2]

@Fafasungrass

Maybe because they practice twice as much and are double as focused?

You know - really annoying people :o) Nah, great folks actually.

Excellent playing - thanks for uploading ;-)

Ahh, back to practicing SIGHHH

[pigjubby]

I feel asleep watching this, in a good way. It put me at ease. Great job young man!!!

[R073NG3L]

This is so beautiful... I really want to play a 10 percent of what this kid plays...

[vovinlilly]

This is surreal, so beautiful...brings tears

[jmarcinho]

Vai tocar bem assim na casa do chapéu... Japonesinho "disgramado".

[hhyten]

My God, you're talented. And you must be very dedicated to your instrument. Best of luck to you, young man.

[macsnell]

Angelic. The majesty of Bach's music keeps growing.

[Trcls]

better than sungha!!!

[TheMarian0000]

Awe just sooooo beautiful....and the look on your face...what a talent...praise God for you!

[TheJbach]

Super!!

[EarlLedden]

This is what asian parents do to their kids...lucky guy. CanI be your brother?

[kieranhan1]

Beautiful! Great work!

[Gantaro999]

wow

very  Gooooooood

from Japan

[narusasukakashi]

good job

[frnakiehoo123]

gosh it sounds so nice, jeez i wonder how hard that is to play on that guitar, i have trouble playing the original version on a regular one >.>

[meddi55]

Absolutely amazing, you've been on this earth before.

[cswtds]

hello, friend, so the young musician is from taiwan?? curious

[DuneBuggyManic]

Very beautiful. You have so much passion and love in your playing. Bravo!

[XxStalkerxSasquachXx]

Hmm, its not really the song, but it kind of has that sound, nice kid you have there :D

[7nsho]

i can say this is a modernized version of this cantata ... good job kiddo .. i feel the spirit behind ..

thanks ...

[peterjordan16910]

You are One with the music. The Guitar really comes over as an extension of your wonderful heart. How beautiful you reveal yourself; to to see, hear, feel & share. Well done! Very gifted

[MysticWhizz]

@peterjordan16910 Wow that was quite a comment.

[brubor]

oh my god... it´s very beatiful...

[Kugell4]

youre great. i just cant imagine what you will be able to do in a few years.

[theoldmaninvegas]

Great job young man. I hope I'm around to watch you progress through the years :)

[theoldmaninvegas]

Great job little man. I hope I'm around to see you progress throughout the years:)

[andrewbridget]

Pretty fantastic. Don't mind what others say: you played it perfectly.

[bigcallee123]

hay man this is sick like actually getting wanked of by god, by the way what tuning is your guitar i want to learn it an post a vdoe reply.

thanks

[hkcrakinkf]

this is what asian parents do to their children. poor guy

[Optichero]

@hkcrakinkf --- thanks for dropping by and taking time to write. I feel sorry for you... I hope you receive more love from your immediate family and those around you...

Kevin

Singapore

[josesuarezegas]

@Optichero

que quieres decir con eso?, tonto. stupid

[SamWBellis]

@hkcrakinkf He is clearly loving it. This performance is full of passion and sensitivity.

[mattfox06]

@hkcrakinkf you are an idiot...

[hkcrakinkf]

@mattfox06 smd chill the fuck back that was a joke you are clearly the retard for not understanding that

[TerryBerry777]

Kevin, don't you listen to anyone other than the soul inside you that is capable of hearing, loving and creating such a beautiful thing. You were given a natural gift, but what you are choosing to do with it, how you are willing to work on it, develop it and express it is what makes you special among others. No one is doing anything to you, you choose to make this music and share it with us, and we are blessed to have ears to hear. Thanks for making this world a more beautiful place to live.

[fantasticskwerl]

@hkcrakinkf Grow up. This is natural talent not parents forcing a child to play.

[piquedard]

@hkcrakinkf

how can someone be so mean??? or are you so envious because you know you'll never play as well as kevin? or maybe there is something else more hideous behind you comments? something called racism!

[ha1801]

oh my god..

i can't believe in my eyes..

[Optichero]

@ha1801 Thanks for dropping by...

kev

[key2kingdom]

Well played Dude - keep rockin' in the free world!

[mtmmaak7]

Beautiful, no squeaking, great hand movement

[Lightmane321]

how in the world did this kid learn to play this guitar so well, and with such feeling & emotion? I've got chills

[Dougboy1970]

mad, mad skills...

[jeffrodabro]

A true prodigy....

[MarsRams1]

Very beautiful, but this is NOT "Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring." But again: very beautiful.

[taruddell]

Yes, yes it is. It's just a beautiful arrangement with an introduction you aren't familiar with. Skip to 1:00 if you can't handle it and need that familiar melody.

[MarsRams1]

Well, I just disagree

[MysticWhizz]

@MarsRams1 No it definately is the jesu you are thinking of, just a different arrangement.

[r2j6m87]

yes, it is.. its simply a different arrangement. The recognizable portion of the song begins around the 1 minute mark

[yoniviner]

@MarsRams1

it kind of it, it has the melody in it if you listen for it...but i personally like it better with just the melody, but awesome job kid!

[Optichero]

@yoniviner thank you for your kind words and glad that you enjoy it..

kev

[Dracapalley]

Beautiful feeling. Keep playing! Star.

[18WjC90]

Incredible arrangement and excellently played. well done

[bachlover100]

love it!

[vasilemihalcea]

well down !

[raminaiman]

another talented boy....

[orangmakan]

simply great....

[mysticratboy]

Not bad.

But cant stand next to sungha jung's version.

[Jdaddy40]

and that doesn't touch eduardo diaz!

[Tincabella07]

you are awesome! consider being a musician as u get older

[orangmakan]

That guy already *is* a musican - as well as a living testimonial that this has not much todo with age.

[MrAndrealisa]

Bravissimo!

[dellforce]

This is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This young man is a truly gifted musician!

[Ozarkwoods]

Not only listen to him play but watching him and how you can tell he enjoys playing, and feeling the music that he is playing...awesome

[neettim]

dang how old is this kid?

[lfpgt]

the best version I ever heard

[vernonore]

I am speechless, very well done!

[Helena81000]

Amei, Fantastico.,,,,,,,,,,Maria Helena de Santo André São Paulo

[MusicaUniversalis]

What a pleasure to watch you play! Thank you so much!

[pretzelzetzel]

i am an adult and i will likely never do anything as well as this child plays the guitar. darn...

[MarthSpike]

not the one im searching for.

i am learning the other one and well this is VERY good.

how long did you start guitar?

[Watson150290]

Fuck! this kid is really awesome...!!!

[52quietforce]

coupla mistakes ?? he's listening to his music and not concentrating on where his fingers go, how many of us can do it ?

[ModeBassTreble]

Nobody forgets he's a kid. He is what any guitarist wants to be in some fashion, at that age. You did a super fantastic job Kevin.

Fred

[sfspiritistsociety]

this kid is amaaaaaaaaaaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg­gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­!!!!! thank you for posting

[MishuTaste]

What's the tuning? Standard?

[mjverive]

WOW! Simply WOW! I'm 49 years old, and will probably never get to play this well!!!

[m8cct]

I am not worthy! *bows*

[edward6000]

cupla mistakes :)

[josh4380]

you forget hes a kid...

[sfspiritistsociety]

u r jealous

[ModeBassTreble]

super fantastic, keep it going please, you will reach something.

[meunomeejunior]

tab?

[therockiscooking54]

wtf i can't play a regular gutiar XD nice job

[Tomaschinsky]

He is the music! What a wonderful, emotional version.

[musxlvr2]

Such feeling! What emotion is conveyed in Loh's playing! This is such a beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[Shermonno1]

I really want the sheet music for this. It is awesome!

[Darkshella]

Very nice! This is a classic example of how almost any of any size or age can play good music with practice. Keep doing what your doing buddy.

[sonnygerd]

It's beautiful, but it's not Bach anymore...

[66GGG]

Brilliant performance on this beautiful arrangement.

[Darknizzle]

ridiculously awesome!

[Vreci]

Very very beautiful playing !

****

regards,

wolfgang

[glenrait]

What absolute fluidity of motion this lad has. I hope he sticks with it; he's a major talent. Imagine what he'll be like when he's 40!

[jyc4rl]

Gosh! To play guitar like that at that age is very unusual. Kid I envy you.

[themccookinator]

very interesting arrangement...

[delasvegas]

someone who can't spell maddonna, probably can't tell the difference of much. anyway, well done, kevin. beautiful playing.

[maddonnaqueen72]

This kid, however cute he may be, clearly isn't playing this. Are you people idiots?

[tarkineWild]

You clearly have know idea on matters concerning the abilities of this talented guy so shut your cake hole pal

[dgw1970]

How are you coming to that rather strange conclusion?

[tarkineWild]

FFS! its clear to any musician that kevin is a fine exponent of the guitar any for anyone to suggest otherwise is clearly an A grade Knob.

[Punisher9696]

The only idiot here is you... Try picking up & playing a guitar before you comment...

[48guitars]

You played that great, I'm buying the song book from qualey, I can't wait to hear some of your other pieces, again thanks

[macm691113]

CONGRATULATIONS KEVIN

[JoeMartin747]

Fantástico.

[dunnonuffink]

I just keep coming back to this. If it was technically perfect, it still couldn't be any more beautiful.

Thanks for sharing it.

[vontunzelmann]

What a wonderful guita player with so much feeling.

[prey225]

Wunderkind

[gamergeek3000]

Wow, I posted nice job at the beginnging, but after listening to the whole thing I have to say: this is pretty awesome. This really shows he is well on his way to mastery of this instrument at a young age. Also an incredibly beautiful Bach piece and arrangement by Qualey.

[gamergeek3000]

nice job

[namidameponchi]

I feel that you`ve got a identification with the music,or I may say you were in the zone.

[peacebeuponyou70]

I'm so jealous..

[dgw1970]

That is very beautiful indeed. My son has just started to play the guitar and you're an inspiration.

[tutmankingasher]

WOW

[ferpetlab71]

Woow.. you are very young..i cannot imagine how fantastic your playing on 5 or 10 year later on..

[LaiYouttitham]

Good job kid i love it i'm putting it in my Vlog keep it up wow!

[1Kouchpotato]

Wow that kid rocks!

[seabassdarapper]

[dadfat]

I'm pretty sure he means the kid is good.

[1cleandude]

He almost smiles at 2:10. Kevin, great job! You are Blessed with a wonderful gift.

I would love to hear what you hear.

God bless and good luck!!!

David
