When i first watch this arrangement 2 years ago, i thought i will never be able to play it. And now i found out that i was right.
xD
There's that one note he hits around the 2 minute mark I have nailed. 938,756 to go and I've got this!
@@kaneturley9415 You’re way ahead of me. I’m still playing Kent’s recording in the background and moving my hands all over the guitar neck AS IF I was actually playing it! All kidding aside, I’ve watched many of Kent’s other videos and I think he custom tunes his guitar (though not open tunings) for each song so he can play all the different parts simultaneously. This would make his arrangements even harder to play!
YOU HAVE IS ARREGLO PARTITURE GUITAR PDF ?????
Lol 😂
The complexity of what's being performed here is staggering. Never seen so much going on.... beats, pulloffs with the left hand, random harmonics.... UNBELIEVABLE.
Well said !
Yeah, it's crazy. Did you notice how he was "strumming" notes with a downstroke at the same time as the thumb slap? I know a lot of Korean and Japanese guitarists like Sungha Jung use the nail attack/kotassive to create the same effect but this is also quite cool.
You think guitars are just about plucking and strumming and this kind of thing comes along and blows your mind.
Watch Alexandr misko, yes, he is playing this music in high level.
@@YAUHDIM Wow. Just looked him up and all I can say is... thanks for the reference
@@YAUHDIM Alexandr lacks so much real music in his playing when you take away the showboating. This arrangement is far beyond his in so many ways
The arrangement is just so pure. You hear the entire song on his one single instrument. And he carries all the emotion of the original plus his own. Just thank you for that.
That's my favorite thing about Kent. There's no unnecessary flashy shit. Every note he plays serves the song. Any fancy technical stuff he does is done for the right reasons.
Very well said. 👏👏
But this arrangement is like misko’s one..except there’s no alternate tuning
@@ownhomestudio which means that Misko's is overly complex for no reason other than to show off
@@migbee is it more like ‘’fuck, how does he do that’’ or ‘’im never gonna be that level’’?
Amazing. This is not guitar playing. This is understanding the instrument on another level.
Absolutely
I've never seen any player can play like this guy. That's another level so far
@@minhhieungo9040 try to find Alexandr Misko, i think he's a little bit better
@@maidam194 his arrangement is a bit messy, kent is perfectly clean
@@maidam194 kent captured all the notes on orignal song while misko created unecessary notes on the song. Now tell me whos sounds better?
Kent is like a magician who shows you exactly how he does his trick and then dares you to try it.
and failed when we try
well said
Underrated comment
Jonathon Brown, you made me laugh with your truth.
Alexander Misko: Nani?
I can't even play the radio this good
Me neither.
Lol
Hahaha...yep....Kent is ridiculous!
Good one… lol
Lol
I've been playing guitar for 12 years, and I cannot believe how good this dude is. I don't think people who don't play can even begin to understand.
How many hours a day do you practice?
@@Picklemedia been playing for 5 months practicing 5 hours a day i can play this arrangement intro to verse
facts
I don’t classify Kent as a guitarist, he’s a magician, because what he’s able to do with a guitar is beautiful magic!
Just check also Josephine Alexandra of Indonesia cover of Lahti.
Agree!
He's guitarist
Amazing. Had to move my guitar from the room. Didn’t want it to hear this.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 know the feeling brother
That's a great comment! There were some similar expressions in the comments on Ayla Tesler-Mabe doing "Since I've Been Loving You" by Led Zeppelin. Also simply unbelievable.
Good one 😄👍
Hahahahahahahaha....perfect..!!!
🎵😂😂😂
I'm never gonna play my guitar again.
Wilted fingers got no rhythm.
So I'm never gonna strum again.
The way I thought I could.
I like it ！
Why don’t you sing your version
on UA-cam ？
Should’ve known better than to finger it
And try to play as cool as you would
So I’m never gonna strum again
The way I thought I co-o-ould
Gem of a comment.
Love it !
I'm laughing so hard as read this comment (with the song melody in my mind) that I'm shaking the bed and getting weird looks from my wife. 🤣🤣🤣
*Continuation;* I should have known better then to buy a Martin And waste the children's college fund So I said as my fingers bled Can I get a Re-fund?
I find this style of playing amazing. He is a complete band with 1 instrument.
im trying to learn this arrangement its confusing to play both the bass and rhythm drums and vocal at the sametime but you just gotta get used to it its really satisfying once you learn a part
@@elfin5140 it is absolutely incredible.
This is definitely some high-level guitar playing. Kent clearly hears music way different than the normal person and then converts it into the masterpieces we hear from him. He has cracked the guitar code and we are the beneficiaries.
Omg yeah i feel like him hearing a song he automatically knows the note like him hearing a song: im never gonna dance again
Him: oh yeah thats an F#
him hearing the full song
Him: the intro and the verse has 100 notes this should be easy to arrange okay the tuning should be b f c B C
Hes like using math equation to find the tuning of guitar for a certain song
And the notes are the given
He's genius as fuck.
This young man respects the elements.
It sounds like he’s playing three instruments at once. He is a amazing musician.
4 actually, drums bass synth sax, plus melody & harmony vox... super epic
Nick, that's because he is my man, he is just using the same instrument to do it lol!!! Genius, is what this is.
The way he play is called "percussive".
I totally agree.. this guy is a legend.
Dude's an absolute guitar genius. How it's even possible to play an instrument this well, is simply mind blowing!
This would make George Michael shed a tear. It's so beautiful.
George would have invited him to play a set so he could sing with him I reckon, or he would have sent him something nice in the post.
I friggin miss George.
@@lucyb7906 I do as well. My heart is broken for him. 😢
@@ukmedicfrcs When I think of George I think of all the fun I had, memories with my family, London, summer gone by, a more simple time, the fun he brought with his music, especially the clap back song outside 🤣 legendary! Lol
@@lucyb7906 Quite possible !
Best Careless whisper played by guitar ever on youtube
Not better than Alexandr Misko's
@@texasfossilguy i knew Misko's vid, both are nice
Nope
@@texasfossilguy Alexandr play with a backing track while Kent plays live ... that's the difference.
@@texasfossilguy misko's is childplay compared to this..
Wish George Michael was around to see this.
@Sabah Zarid Oh shoot did he die?
Was thinking that
@@TheRealFumigator He died on Christmas Day 2016.
WAIT WHAT
Andrew Ridgeley is still around though.
I wish George could sing this live on stage with Kent. It would be FLAWLESS.
I miss you George.....😔😪
There aren't many times in a life where you are struck by obvious mastery. Yet every one of Kent's videos is such a time.
I play guitar fairly well, and I can tell you this man is not playing guitar... He has become the guitar itself.
The name of the guitar is Kent
But can u play smoke on the water?
Great comment!
@@84Tacos lol. its name is even written on then fretboard
@@Angelo-pe4go his guitar is worth 1 million yen how cool is that
There are 2 types of people:
- People who are not guitarists: Wow, that really motivated me to learn how to play the guitar.
- People who are guitarists: Well, I should sell my guitar.
Well said...
my guitarS
I'm on the second category lol
Hmph. I'm a guitarist and I'm inspired by his playing because his style fits any song. His style is just like a power chord in my opinion hehe.
Love it dude. Thought the same thing but my saying is always, 'I got to play a LOT more or a LOT less'.
Why is Kent the best?
Song choice: 10/10
Arrangement: 11/10
Technical execution: 10/10
Feeling: 10/10
That 11/10 arrangement score means no one be on his level. it's not fair.
You should see Alexander misko arrangement
@@FernandoAsh misko's version is also good, but my money is on kent. Much cleaner, all notes are on spot and almost close to the original
@@FernandoAsh misko version is a bit messy, kent is much cleaner and full
@@FernandoAsh If I wanted to be wowed by theatrics then maybe I'll watch misko. If I want to listen and groove to some good music I'll choose Kent any day of the week.
Alexander misko's arrangement is complicated. Kent is pure and clean
この当時１６歳か、まだ少年だよね、日本では高校生、小さな部屋のギター一本の演奏の小さな世界が、なんて大きく広い世界なんでしょうか、誰も成し遂げられなかった有名バンドの複雑なハーモニーの音色を一本のギターで再編集して自分の音楽に変えてしまう、一人の少年が自分の部屋でたった一人でそれを作り上げてしまう、、いやいや奇跡の様な音楽であるし、なんと言っても無条件に心地よく、素敵な音楽
My guitar asked, "why don't you ever touch me like that?"
Hahahahaha.....awesome funny comment......!!!
Big pp energy
Why don’t you touch me like that? 😆😆🤣🤣
Tell your guitar that may be it's time for sale to find a new appropriate one.
tell your guitar u will sale soon....
There are two realms of Nishimura's genius. The second realm is his fabulous technique, especially the right hand stuff. But the first realm is just being able to conceive of these arrangements - Bass lines, rhythm taps, chord structures, melodies - all integrated seamlessly in a single cohesive performance. There are very few musicians who can claim to have reinvented the way an instrument can be played - and Kent Nishimura is one of them. I wonder what he wants to be when he grows up?
Kent wants to be a world-class musician who can make many people in this planet happy and smile, traveling in all over the world for his concert tour.
@@poohmatsuoka5525 he's already done that for all of us on youtube :)
Kent wants to be a truck driver
He captures the spirit of the entire (original) ensemble.
a high school janitor?
Let’s forget about playing techniques but the amount of idea this guy has put on the arrangement is beyond analyzing.
This kid is absolutlely a GENIUS! His works are fantastically unbelievable....
He sounds like a whole band.. amazing.
Sonaire Sadik I thought about asking Kent to join our band, but then realized it would put the rest of us out of work.
This called fingerstyle music
@@fingerstyle9165 I am aware of that, thanks for the update
@@sonairesadik2793 never mind sir
This young man have my vote coming from a 42 year old black man from the hood..he not trying to over do it but really clear and clean playing.... play that guitar young man!!!
Does perfection exist? Yes, his name is Kent Nishimura.
天才です。
他に言い様有りません。
Anyone covering songs on UA-cam needs to pack it in. This guy is hands down the best.
you haven't seen Alexandra misko then
ezio auditore I just looked that guy up, that guy is very good.
@@turnupthesun81 😀.
@@ezioauditore6176 Just saw Misko and both different styles. I prefer this version for the number if instruments covered on one guitar.
@@ezioauditore6176 use your ears not eyes this way moreeeeeeeeee better lmao
Kent take good care of yourself these days my friend. You are a rare treasure and a breath of fresh air in this crazy world right now.
ОЧАРОВАТЕЛЬНАЯ ГАБРИЭЛЛА! И ПРЕКРАСНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ👍
СКВОЗЬ КОТОРОЕ НЕСОМНЕННО ТОРЖЕСТВУЕТ ОЧЕНЬ ЯРКАЯ ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНАЯ ТЕХНИКА ИСПОЛНЕНИЯ ПРЕКРАСНОГО ГИТАРИСТА- НАСТАВНИКА, ТВОЕГО ОТЦА 👍🎸 СПАСИБО💖
Imagine how proud George Michael is if he's still alive. R.I.P Champ
There are musicians... There are professionals musicians... And there is Kent.... Another level of the art!!!
This guy is great man....but you should also check out other fingerstyle on youtube such as Alip Ba Ta, enriching your life 😀🙏👍
@@iwangafur6615 Thanks... I will...
@Brent N I have the same feeling... He has a special gift
@Brent N Yes... Every single note is clear, in right volume and with the right expression...
@The Ethnicist It is impossible to identify the instrument and who is playing... They go as just one person...
it feels like ... the guitar is a part of his body, so smooth, so clean and clear ... this is sick!!!! i would bow to his performance.
Hay hơn thằng tòng nhiều mà mấy đứa việt nam thanh niên trẩu tung hô tòng của nó lên mây xanh
I want to quit playing guitar everytime I hear this arrangement but man, can’t stop coming back to this masterpiece
Best acoustic version out there ive heard in 2023 🇳🇿
Best acoustic version out there I've heard EVER!
@@tomk8663 It's akin to "damning with faint praise". Tbh - that's the best acoustic version I've heard on yt this afternoon...
So underrated bro. This deserves a million views
JR Camo agree..
They will come
you are absolutely correct, JR.
indeed
Share the video, spread the word and help him get the views!
One of the best fingerstyle arrangements I've seen in a long time, and I've seen a lot
I concur, simply amazing
Absolutely, that Guy plays absolute fantastic. Very tasteful Arrangement!
Excellent
He is intelligent enough to place the camera at perfect angle to catch the playing property! That's the reason it looks great and the view is clear!
WATCH Alexandr Misko
Blessed with musical talent
So good... so clean... so accurate... so creative... so everything! I wish I could. Thanks for sharing your talent!
There is only one reason for someone to thumbs-down this video... ENVY!
Or because it ends
Yeah, the one who wrote the Lyrics to it.🤣😉😂
@@joannchamness3194 your wrong because this is a copy only from Alexandr Misko the one who invented this,the original and the best of this techniques.
@@benesbertv5248 Not really this is Kent's own arrangement. Its played differently
@@benesbertv5248 this arrangement is better. more complete than misko
Not only is this guitar playing technically amazing, he's playing with real feeling, dynamics, delicacy, and soul. I'm seriously amazed!
This guy comes from another planet. A born talent.
Thank you UA-cam for allowing Kent to share his out-of-this-world talent, all over the globe and across generations! Imagine if this generational prodigy was born in the 70's with no internet, no HD recording device and no platform to share his music...
The internet has failed it's purpose, coz this guy isn't viral.
Rohit Appully exactly my thoughts
595000 views of a teen on solo guitar playing 80s music with 78,000 subscribers not viral enough for you?
I think he's only very recently been posting regularly. He will grow exponentially, of that I'm sure.
@@andymartin8162 compared to millions of views of no talent hacks, that's correct.
He will be!
溢れんばかりのテクニックだが、
テクニックを披露することを目的としていない。
あくまでも、作品として完成するための演奏をしている。
もはや円熟の域。
こんな効果的なアレンジはUA-camで見たことない。ギターの構造上の制約もある中で、お見事っす。
The best fingerstyle of careless whisper song.. 💯👏👏👏
This is far the best acoustic version of this song that I’ve seen/heard on UA-cam. And boy I’ve seen a lot. Congrats.
If you're a fan of this song, you'll know how awesome this version is..
wow..i thought I've watched the best arrangement...until this one!
I can’t play a lick… always been mesmerized by guitar… But this is something else… listening to all the videos of his… Can’t believe how he captures every single little bit of the original song… I hear the original artist singing in my head. I could listen to this all the time.
I saw this in my recommended videos and I knew I was in for something special. The original version has fallen out of my head and this version has taken over.
The Google Algorithm has failed for this channel. He should be on a million subs by now.
Why is that only now I have discovered this guitarist??? Just blown away. I frankly think this is the best guitarist I have seen within the acoustic guitar realm. Also, I tried to grow my nails like that but my wife protested LOL. Keep it up Kent!!! You inspire me!
I don't try to understand how it is done since it's mind-boggling. Some people are a gift to humanity and Kent is one of them. Sit back and enjoy
As a professional guitar player for over 40 years and music lover I am just amazed!
I started playing the guitar when I was in my mid teens. I am now in my late 50s. I now say 'I know how to play the guitar but I can't play the guitar'. Not after watching Kent and Alip Ba Ta. They have showed us how the guitar is to be played. They have re-defined what playing the guitar means.
Пришло новое поколение гитаристов, решившее спор между фортепиано и гитарой! Теперь гитара, благодаря им, имеет полное превосходство над фортепьяно!
Ранее считалось, исходя из советской литературы учебной, что превзойти фортепьяно не реально: слишком большой диапазон.
Интересно, что придумают те, кто занимаются на фортепьяно, чтобы догнать талантливых гитаристов?! Будут на ходу открывать "копот" и стучать по струнам?!
Imagine Kent and George performing together , I'm sure George would certainly approve, another magical hypnotic performance.
The effortless mixing of multiple rhythms and melodies. High level makes it sound effortless.
One of my favourite songs from the 80's. He managed to replicate the feel and soul with perfect timing and feel on each note.
I always play this music before i go to sleep, while in the bus, walking outside.. the rythim is so relaxing, you can sing while playing on his fingerstyle.. africa is also my favorite. good job! arigato!
😁👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
5 beautiful minutes of musical genius.it doesn't get better than this for a music lover.
It's phenomenal how you capture all the different sounds and melodies all at once. This is truly a gift to watch and it blows my mind. Thank you Mr. Nishimura.
There's professional players and then there is Kent. Mad skills
Kent nishimura u r greatest fingerstyle in dis present Generation
Lead, vocals, rhythm and percussion all at once.
I Can't believe.. My brain can't even process how he can do that.. Lol... Truly a master of his craft.. Salute!
I never going to dance with my guitar like that, wow!!
Kent has to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time, absolutely incredible!
Without doubt, my man
Cool
How you can pull every nuance of this song from those strings is utterly mind blowing to me. I get immense pleasure from watching you play. Keep them coming please ❤️
one can live a lifetime and still not be able to have this level of skill 😢
This is my wife’s favorite song. I had her close her eyes and put on earphones. She listened and swayed back and forth. Now she can’t get enough of the song.
I was going to say, "simply amazing," but I know it's not simple. It's amazing.
I hereby dubbed thee as Sir Kent... Knight of all guitars!
Very emotional...i'm cryng...!!! George Michael will be until the end of time with us ....in ours hearts...thanks for this version....
Beautiful song played amazingly well., so many notes being played but it s not sounding rushed,a masterclass ,,,,,,awesome 😮
So refreshing to hear so much talent in young guitarists like Mr. Nishimura. A lot of discipline and practice went into his craft to produce such beautiful results. Thank you Mr. Nishimura !
"Fingerstyle" just doesn't seem adequate enough of a word to describe this arrangement; this and others like it demand their own unique category.
Absolutely awesome!!
True. 'Fingerstyle' really doesn't count in all the tapping, harmonics, and percussive elements this guy executes. Amazing.
Never never ever ever disappointed when I click on this guy. We are always awed into a mental journey away from the stress of the world when your fingers do what few can do the way and level you do it. Thanks for those few moments of relaxing, inspiring mental pause you gave us in this overall year of upheaval, stress and sadness. They where appreciated more than you will ever know.
Nishimura got a "stone groove" maaan..
Classic pop songs + great fingerstyle guitar skills = MAGIC
It can't get any better than this arrangement, damn!
This guys limits on the guitar are endless. Much respect for the time and effort.
Petikan gitar yang sangat hebat dan kemas...memang power sangatlah. Sedap telinga mendengarnya... from MALAYSIA..
This is the best finger style cover of this song! Absolutely amazing!
Watch Alexander Misko
@@user-eg1iw3fc6n I see that video, but I prefer this one, its more clean like the original
Kent more better
@@user-eg1iw3fc6n Kent better by FAR
Sounds like there are 2 guitars and a drummer. This is insane!!!
rocket man And a bassist too...
Kent Nishimura is the POINT which every guitarist want's to reach'
in their dream's of course!
All I see is gold
Best fingerstyles EVER ! Put headphones set and enjoy!
True, you also gotta see this ua-cam.com/video/wZoUbXaFcQ0/v-deo.html
The best cover Carelles Whisper that i ever seen...great job...
Amazing! and according to his website the guitar is rather unique... _"His first album FIRST STEP moved not only many pro’s pro musicians such as Tommy Emmanuel and Andy McKee but George Lowden who is a legendary luthier of Lowden Guitars. Mr. Lowden built up a brand new guitar for Kent after he asked Kent about his favorite woods of top, side and back of guitar. As a result, 6 months later, Kent got a Lowden F-35 (around 1M USD) with an inlay of a letter KENT on the 12 fret as a gift from Mr. Lowden."_
Uh...an F-35 isn't $1M USD....maybe it's $6500, USD
@@Last_one_before_I_go Well, it is custom made, with his favorite woods and the KENT inlay. ;-)
@@bsvenss2 would you rather have 6500 USD or 1m USD?
f 16 was 1m usd 😂
So this guitar worth 1 million dollars ??
The faithful recreation of multiple voices in the verse and chorus was so awesome
Thank you for inspiring me to sell my guitar.
I can't express how deeply that touched me, as a pure magic.
brilliant orchestration
Kent doesn’t miss a thing does he? It’s all in there, every element, sounds so beautiful. This is just beyond any acoustic I have ever heard.🌹
Super beautiful fingerstyle.....perfect.....no match...

Dude's playing the guitar like a piano - so beautiful
