I remember watching this live and being dumbfounded. I've been a fan ever since.

That was bad ass. She is amazingly talented.

Me and my old band had a house together, and me and my guitarist sat up one night and watched this live, and our jaws were open the entire time, this mind fucked us. We fell in love with her that moment.

i love how she is just the medium for the music. it looks like she just does what the guitar "forces her to do" :)

The thing is she is playing the bass lines, and counterpointing simultaneously with abstract chords. She keeps the whole thing together, and that in itself is amazing. Look at her concentrate, and focus on the time. She plays lots of different altered tunings,Shes Fantastic!!

Wow...I'd imagine a lot of people in the crowd and watching on TV would probably wonder what the hell is going on...for us guitarists, we are seeing a genius at work

Her playing is mind boggling. Truly amazing stuff.

Came here just to see Letterman do that weird thing with his tongue in the beginning Great song too

I'll never understand how even a video of a musical performance can be the cause of so much rage from people.

I bought one of her first CDs,....years ago ,...as it is now 2023. I still play it,....her unique style goes to show there is more than one way to make music with a guitar, even using an unconventional method.

Saw Kaki play the Jazz cafe London last month she was pure awesome. Also props to the guy who kept shouting "We love you Kaki" :D

I get chills and goosebumps

Saw her tonight, she was absolutely amazing. For the record, she doesn't use fingerpicks, though I did see a thumb pick when she played a slide guitar song. She has really long nails on her right hands and close-trimmed ones on the left.

pure badassery. this chick has inspired me on so many different levels

Just awesome, so many sounds from one person with a guitar!

My first video of her, really impressed

I saw her last night in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom and honestly, she puts on a GREAT show that consists of nearly a dozen guitars of all styles and she has conversation with the audience throughout the show. I am still in awe after last night...she is quite the captivating artist. So before you all go and make assumptions, you should actually go see her live and see how good she really is!

this girl is taking the guitar to a new height a new dimension. I think she's awesome, I liked the song a lot, great original stuff!!

wow! she's incredible

you go, kaki!...this is a phenomenal piece of artistry!...

Absolutely amazing!

She is a real artist

I think you learned a thing or two from Michael Hedges, Bravo for keeping his style alive.

She is amazing! Truly a great guitar player.

All I can say is wow. Looking forward to seeing her perform.

The breath in my lungs has evaporated.

Just amazing

If tic toc brings you here, keep going friend, welcome to Wonderland.

Amazing piece of music

Wow! Amazing!

Jeez. Simply amazing.

Thanks for posting.

she's simply awesome! enough said!

Awesome, Pure Talent

The sound may not be to the average person's liking but you gotta give it to her--this is some amazing talent that most musicians twice her age can't even begin to master. Personally, I love it.

yep, I saw her in DC last night. it was so SICK. she and her band rocked, and loud.

Brilliant !

I'm Stunned...I was lookin for the band!

you do now know music then. this woman wonderfully demonstrates beautiful transitions between timings and even incorporates percussive elements into a one instrument song. there's plenty of structure and patterns, but theres also lots of melody and im sure she improvised a little

It's interesting that people who have commented seem to think she is un-talented due her style of playing, when many famous guitarists have used similar styles; eddie van halen on the electric guitar for example. she has been accepted as among the most talented guitarists of our time. I'd think that the fact that she plays in a "different" style than usual is a good thing, because without changing the way we play music, it would fast become rather boring. rock and roll never would have happened

this is fantastic!

love...

Come on guys, this is not about who is better, this is about to recognize her talent. I really admire her works.

wow,,, Fantastic!!! she can play

im in looooooooove with this

kaki king, una gran referente

Kaki 's interpretation of her world is beautiful.

Amazing Musicianship You Get An "A+" Cheers All The Best .

Njene koncerte mogu gledati ceo dan

i saw her in concert a few times. when she is playing she has her "game face" but in between she is funny as hell.

awesome!

olistic guitarwoman thank you

AMAZING.

I remember an interview in which she said she was too nervous and played ridiculously fast... well, she did play it a lot faster, pretty impressive that she could manage it, it's already quite difficult at normal pace..

i love this woman

phenomenal. never heard of her before, just stumbled across it. wow....

I think she's awesome for a woman, and or a man. Regardless of what gender, whoever can do tricks like this is worthy of recognition.

That is an aweome sound.

amazing!

So many aspects of guitar and they''re all great..there's always been space for the avant gard (Bill Frisell, Sonny Sharrock,Derek Bailey). Even Wes Montgomery loved the work of Bola Sete and Bola often played percussively like this. Kaki King creates her own unique atmosphere in the same way as Sonny Landreth. She's wonderful.

Awesome! Brava!!!

She is extremely talented, no doubt about that.

Because they're amazing.

Man she's amazing This and Bari improv, which comes out in august rush, are my fave.

Keep doing what you do so well and all the best 2010

@glenn3001 thank you for showing how some of us have evolved faster than others, you are 1 of the 1000000 I've seen that proves the missing link is still walking around.

For those of you that don't get it...that's ok..,it takes ears wide open and minds without filters...if you want a gentler approach to this style..,Michael Hedges...don't give up it's is amazing!

nice job!! regards from mexico!!

proud to say that kaki, along with being a fellow musician, is also my girlfriend's best friend's sister, with whom she had the pleasure of growing up with and watching kaki become the great she is today.

lovely :)))

Yeah!

LOUD NOISES! No, I really love it.

wow that was enjoyable

yes!

I think she is brilliant and different! Never seen anything like it b4!
