I can't even believe what I just watched. I've been playing guitar for 35 years and it would take me 5 years just to emulate this. To arrange it would be a life's work. It's one thing to play this (which is no easy task) but to ARRANGE it puts Kent on another level, truly. I wish non-musicians could understand how rare Kent's gift is.. Best finger-style musician on planet earth. No exceptions. Just....holy shit the dynamics and complexity of the voicings and syncopation..this guy is second to NOBODY who has ever lived. I'm in shock
He is absolutely one of the top 3-5 guitarist ever. But there are others like Luca Stricagnoli, Marcin Patrzalek, Lucas Imbiriba, Josephine Alexandra...
@@Terra-Incognlta and none of them are on his level. Lucas has the ability. Stricagnoli is a dog and pony show imo using a second pre tuned guitar to play the exact melody he wants. Unique however I feel it's cheating compared to others that use one instrument and frankly do it better. I genuinely dig his rendition of dark necessities tho. All are great on their own way. Kent is a diff breed
I am so grateful my earlobes were able to witness this greatness. 2:49 Kent was just boasting at that point, you can see it in his face. Amazing tunes, truly. Wish he had tabs, so that I can attempt a fail.
FOREVER LEARNER Well, now that you mention this, let me tell you that, among the several few finger-style guitarists that I like, Michael Chapdelaine and Kent Nishimura are my favorite ones; and not only for their great playing but for their capability to do fabulous arrangement, which is an add-on gift, few good players are given.
@Karlo Tee I certainly have seen Alexandr Miso (plus Tommy Emmanuel, Luca Stricagnoli, Don Ross, Pierre Bensusan, Julia Lange, Jon Gomm, between some of the the best). However, the arrangement ideas, way of playing, separation of notes (where melody sings, while bass and chords accompany from "somewhere else") of these two persons is what gets me, personally.
The „best“-Bullshit is bullshit. Kent is obviously a supremely talented musician and one of the great fingerstylers already. His ability to capture so many layers of the multi-instrument original compositions is incredible. Other fingerstylers focus on other aspects. So I doubt there is a „best“ one. Emmanuel is obviously quicker and technically more versatile, Francesco Buzzuro too. But who cares. They are all great musicians to be enjoyed
@@nycyabber7103 Says the person who clearly has no idea what he's talking about. Creating arrangements like this takes a TON of creative thinking, not to mention skill. Compare this to the next 5 covers you find on youtube for ANY of Kent covers, and you'll see that not all arrangements are created equal. Kent is an artist beyond his years. Anyone who says otherwise is either A) a troll, b) clueless, C) a hater, or D) all of the above.

I cant stand all these losers and their 15mins of fame and they end up with millions.. when THIS KID should be the one I see on tv making millions. I love your channel Kent please keep up the great work.
Kent is amazing. He makes people who don't play the guitar want to learn how and he makes those of us who have played for many years want to quit or learn how.
So underrated, Kent should have a million subscribers! He might not hit the top youtube algorithms since he's not covering Swift or Bieber but his acoustic fingerstyle is one of the best out there.
June Smith Agree... My personal opinion is that people, in general, are not prepared to appreciate what Kent (and similar players) do. Millions of subscribers go easily to simple rock guitar vids (with drums and a lot of noise, the best...) Sungha Jung's video with electric guitar (Canon Rock) achieved the highest and quickest views, compared to all his other acoustic guitar videos.... Let's think...;-)
Kent, Kent...what can one say that hasn't already been said? your arrangements bring me to tears and make me smile in equal measure. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world
The dynamics! The Attention to detail!.....I'm....I'm just blown away....If this is possible on earth, can you imagine what the music will be like in Heaven?!?!?!?!!
If marshal arts is Bruce Lee... Then Finger-style Guitar is KENT. Man I want to hug this kid. There is no words in dictionary to describe his talent.. out of this world.... period.
This is when a REAL MUSICIAN, not a show-off, is playing music with all his best!
This is the most incredible guitar cover I've ever heard.
me too 👍

shock you say? I still am a year after I heard him. grateful for the loop option.. :)
Please do a reaction vid to his videos.
We can all have our favorites, Kent is awesome 😎

The perfect rhythm, percussive effects, melody and bass lines. And just over-all artistry. No sane human being can resist this beauty.
this is hardcore playing
The best finger-style guitarist.

Daniel Ibanez well said bro. That is what separate them from the others .

The world just isn't big enough for real talent.
Spot on. Spot on.
In this world of so called "artists" who can barely whistle,let alone play an instrument, you shine like a diamond. Keep up the good work.
Indeed..
I agree
i'd classify him as a performer rather than an artist until he starts making oc
@@nycyabber7103 Playing guitar at this level is an art form in itself.

That is so whip Kent...
Bravo my brother 👍👊
Wow..just the best ever I’ve heard..
This kid knows music but more importantly he has a peaceful soul that this crazy world needs to emulate
I cant stand all these losers and their 15mins of fame and they end up with millions.. when THIS KID should be the one I see on tv making millions. I love your channel Kent please keep up the great work.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
D best ive seen so far.
Might be the best of Phils cover , that i have heard
Best of the best!
great job, getting bonus points with me when you play anything Phil Collins :P
Damn. Teen who plays arrangements of 80s-90s classics and along with the extreme talent he gets the 'feels" of those songs.
Kent is amazing. He makes people who don't play the guitar want to learn how and he makes those of us who have played for many years want to quit or learn how.
I think this guy is the world's best at this type of playing. It is flawless. I listen carefully.
"This type of playing"? You mean....playing?
No. This time of playing... There plenty of styles out there. He is a good player. With it it's all said...
sam pence he meant finger style guitar.
Maybe there are better players than him BUT no one can beat his fingerstyle arrangements.
@@EPSTopikWorkInKorea plus the beat box, Sungha Jung is also good but without the beat box
Another masterpiece
You're out of this planet.
So beatiful!
Exquisite arrangement! Love listening to you play :)
One guitar eminence complimenting another guitar eminence. I follow you both, thanka for your music
I see you simpin over this dude. But you're awesome too nroo
finally you show your face . I love the way you play JUST ONCE
So magnificent why aren't you famous 😍😍😍
That's great! this can't help but hurt! I listen and have the best feelings
No gimmicky production, just pure skill
It's beautiful 💝👏👍
I feel like my ears are smiling!!
Merveilleux guitariste !
Another day in paradise listening to this arrangement.. Bravo!
This is on another level
Beautiful. Nothing else to say but that.
My god,that was astounding.
I MAY GOD..I LOVE THAT SONG..JUST ANOTHER DAY YU EN ME IN PARADISE... JUST ANOTHER DAY..
Underrated, wanna see you get big

How is he underrated? Nobody says anything but good things about him

or uses dogs or clickbait funny videos cough acoustic trench cough davie504
Not underrated, but perhaps surprisingly unknown. I'd be willing to bet that will change over the next few years though.
Great performance
You are so perfect! The best. ❤💟
Phill Collins✨昔好きでした☺️💕
ちょっと切ないメロディのリフレインが、Lowdenの音とよく合っていて、ほんとに曲のイメージそのままに伝わります🥰
親指のリムショットがめっちゃ好き💚 💚💚（笑）
A classic. That’s some killer tone on your E and A. Mids are deep and rich moving. That highs ? Twinkle thanks again for the positive vibe.
THIS is absolute perfection. Bravo!❤️
Nice idol so smooth listening in ears🙉😍
Ridiculously Good.
"How many voices can you play simultaneously?"
Kent: "Yes!"
Excelent..! Nice..!
Kent's guitar is so lively.. even the camera is vibin'
One of the few playing it correctly with a capo. Most try but fail the correct way. Wonderful job. Beautiful song
Aww so beautifully played. Thank you. I throughly enjoyed your video.
you certainly are gifted young man. dont waste it
Immaculate....
Kent's able to capture the entire song emotionally in a single instrument.
Nailing those harmonics in the midst of it all. Seriously . . .
Wow 😮 wonderful!!!!!
Kent, Kent...what can one say that hasn't already been said? your arrangements bring me to tears and make me smile in equal measure. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world
my break after work, more power "Kent Nishimura"
unbeliveable. keep going !
simply awesome
!
The dynamics! The Attention to detail!.....I'm....I'm just blown away....If this is possible on earth, can you imagine what the music will be like in Heaven?!?!?!?!!
We humans don't have a language that can express my admiration for your craft
You are awesome!!! Oh think twice!! It's just another day for you and me in paradise!!!
Dude that was amazing
Only 6 (so far) didn't think twice.... Besides two thumbs up 👍👍
Exquisite performance
Impeccable 😊😊😊
i cant stop myself rocking to this cover
Genius
I'm so very glad this channel is slowly building up... Hoping to see this channel blow up one day 😁
it is gonna happen probably in the not too distant future with talent like this
Kent, you’re amazing!!! 👏🏽👍🏽
szalor06 I’m glad to see your comment instead of “he’s underrated” for the millionth time. So annoying when people say that, nobody is underrating him
Bro I discovered this channel 5 min ago and I'm already a fan
Beautifull, just beautifull.
Genius!
one of my favorite portrayals, of one of my favorite songs. Thank you!❤
A master class on picking the melody right out of the chord shapes.
Got me dancing from the very first 😭❤️
SO rich and beautiful i'd die for these tabs
PERFECTION ❤
Thank you my stress is gone.. Very nice guitar😘
Superb 👍
you are not a human... you are a machine man 🤔😄
That Guitar is really an extension of you..... Amazing.
Wow 🥺 perfect!
素晴らしい !!
I seriously can't get enough of this guy! I look forward to watching/hearing you play with each new video! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
If marshal arts is Bruce Lee...
Then
Finger-style Guitar is KENT.
Man I want to hug this kid.
There is no words in dictionary to describe his talent.. out of this world.... period.
I've got to get back to work, but I can't stop listening to this...
Awww I love this song 🎵 🎵
This makes my heart soar!
Nice performans and arrangement
The best for you ,wow...
Grand master guitarist... Need I say more?
Why this video doesn't have a million views yet ?
Just wow !
kent carries a whole band and orchestra within him ❤
Seriously amazing. Loved the little harmonic bits- so lovely.
