It's "KN-SE" which means Kent Nishimura - Shima Enaga, as you can see on the link. Shima Enaga is the name of a well-known little bird in Japan. It appears as an inlay on the 12th fret of the guitar.
Kent, how is the guitar you played for us on this Sir Elton John piece set up? What electric pickup did you select from the three that are offered? Thanks. I thoroughly enjoy listening to you do your thing. It always inspires me to do better when I play. Please keep inspiring us with your music. Your passion is contagious, thank you.
What makes Kent so special is that his music is easy to listen to because he makes sure that all the essential parts is in his arrangements, whether that is the vocals, guitar lead, rhythm guitar, percussion, keyboard riff, etc. It's a high level of difficulty the way he plays, but he makes it look so simple. Every note is 'massaged" and has the right feel. He does all of that without flash, making his music speak for itself. There are countless of fingerstyle guitarist in the world, but so many do it with flashy embellishments that doesn't necessarily sound good or fits the song. If you listen to the other flashy fingerstyle guitarist and close your eyes, it sounds like a mess. With Kent, if you close your eyes and listen to him, you enjoy the song, feel relaxed, and swear there are 3 guitar players playing. That's what separates Kent from the rest.
Well said ... I wish I hadn't started playing guitar 55 years ago ... as this chap is so good ... and exactly as you say ... no fancy unnecessary stuff to take away from the magic ...
Kent's music sounds so good without unnecessarily flashy embellishments like so many other youtubers do. In my opinion, he shows his mastery by showing restraint and respect to the song by letting as much of the music speak through his guitar as possible. When Kent plays, I can "hear" the voice in the lyrics singing.
Kent never disappoints, I'm always waiting for his new covers to come out, im one of his biggest fan. He seemed to have mastered his instrument. Proud of you Kent, your covers always bring me joy
@@1tinytanic Generally no, very rarely he will have 2 overlapping parts maybe but then you will see another video of him playing the other part show up on screen.
I'm not sure how many musicians it took to perform this song, but for one man with a single guitar to bring every element of the song to life in my head is mind boggling. I can hear the drums, the bass, the vocals, the keyboards but all I see is a guitar.
This is amazing. I've never seen a fingerstyle version capture all of the nuances like this. Someone pleasae tell me there are tabs for this version somewhere. I'd like to pretend I can play this at some point.
Kent: "I hope you don't mind that I put down in words: How wonderful life is while you're in the world." -- Elton John So, sooo wonderful, Kent. Thanks.
Tune in to watch Kent Nishimura give an amazing performance, and also get a reminder of just how brilliant a music writer Elton John is. Also mad respect for Bernie Taupin who is an amazing lyricist!
Your previous covers were/are all great , so I don't say this lightly, but the textures, dynamics, groove, sophistication, and simplicity are ALL just getting better! Keep doin what you're doin!!
Theres the beautiful sound this guy creates in his craft and the feel..To enjoy and appreciate..Then theres visually just seeing him at work/play.. the effortless flow with both hands. aurally and visually sublime.. For me one of the worlds most amazing performers A gift🙏
Hey kent, Rishi from india. I hear your arrangements during study or while doing something. I think you have groomed yourself on guitar very effortless. I am learning fingerstyle. Been doing since a year. I wanted to be effortless and natural like you. To motivate myself i have your photo playing another brick in wall on some show pasted on my wall. i am determined to be able to play like a band on single guitar. I hope you share your techniques I will very much appreciate if you do so, please if possible do share and inspire more learners through your experiences, insights and education in ways you can. thank you namaste.

@@tanmoygvlogs1Please read the description. Facepalm
I’ve never seen anyone more skilled at anything. Unbelievable.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to you do your thing. It always inspires me to do better when I play. Please keep inspiring us with your music. Your passion is contagious, thank you.
I hear the voice getting strummed louder than the rhythm. Awesome.
Yes, his attention to dynamics is unbelievable! Few acoustic players cover songs with such care. His talent is rare indeed!
Just incredible.
Wonderful playing Kent!
Beautiful. I just wonder, he's like a teenager yet he seems to like songs from decades ago. But, well done very nice 😊
How does Kent not have at least 1 million followers?
Bass line at 1:50 is so perfect... thanks a lot for this travel in past, so much.
it brings back so many memories
Incredible skill and taste. Respect.
Oh man, just man oh man.
I can hear Elton singing the words. It takes a true musician to make magic like this
Muchas gracias, tío.
You're on top of my UA-cam playlist. I'm just getting started into fingerstyle .If I could be just as quarter good as you I'll be happy😊.
Chills, big chills❤
グッドボタン10000個くらい押したいです。
The Beach Boysに続いて、またソロギターのレパートリーが被りました。そしてケント君のアレンジと演奏に圧倒されてレパートリーを一つ失いましたww
演奏というよりは曲芸？みたいな物凄いテクニックを披露されるギタリストがここには沢山いらして、それはそれで楽しませて頂いていますが、ケント君は音楽を弾くためにギターを弾いていて、その音楽性に更に磨きがかかってきたように感じています。
次は何をどんな風に弾かれるか、楽しみにしています。
Virtuosity...Thanks
Merry Christmas Kent & his followers. May you all be safe , well, and happy.
Every tone a story

Sure, Kent is on another level ...
This young man is extremely talented! Stunning feel on the guitar!
So true, and well-said. His rendition of "What a Fool Believes" is extraordinary for all the reasons you stated.
@@assaokinoshita3820you said this so well. He makes it look easy. I've watched him and thought, damn I can do this too. Then I try.... 😭😭😭😭😭
Well said ... I wish I hadn't started playing guitar 55 years ago ... as this chap is so good ... and exactly as you say ... no fancy unnecessary stuff to take away from the magic ...
Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reginald would be overwhelmed with ❤ , as we ALL are ... never stop
Sound of multiple guitars playing simultaneously 👍
Fantastic !!!
Gosh one man band!!
In a world oversaturated with content, there are few things that genuinely bring delight. Master Nishimura's gifts are always one of them. ありがとう
エルトンが歌ってるように聴こえてきました。素敵です
Beautifully making ‘Your song’ your song .
this is bewilderingly good.
Kent is the reason UA-cam needs an extra level of like button!
Brilliant and beautiful... 💛
Another great masterpiece.
Magic!
That bass intro into the second verse.... man, what touch.
1:50
Bravo!!!!

I hope he gets to America in the future. It would be amazing to see this guy live. So beautiful.
MERAVIGLIOSO
Kent is the GOAT of tasteful acoustic vocalless covers. Hands down one of if not the best.
My gosh, when the bass and rhythm come in at 1:50 is chef's kiss bud
No one drums a guitar like Kent. Such a groove!
The best guitarist in the world with percussion, bass, lead , rhythm all roll into one!
I agree!
Is he doing ANY overdubbing or looping edits while he’s playing???
@@1tinytanic Generally no, very rarely he will have 2 overlapping parts maybe but then you will see another video of him playing the other part show up on screen.
初めてコメントします。

来年どこかでケント君のLIVEに行きます‼️楽しみです😊
いつも素敵な選曲と崇高なアレンジありがとうございます✨✨✨
Merry Xmas🎉

I knew it would be good... but that good?!! My eyes are all watery.

So, sooo wonderful, Kent.
Thanks.
Tune in to watch Kent Nishimura give an amazing performance, and also get a reminder of just how brilliant a music writer Elton John is. Also mad respect for Bernie Taupin who is an amazing lyricist!
You know Kent is covering the melody when the lyricist is given props!
Just when you think it can't get any better, he drops that beat in the middle of it...
Your arrangement of Africa blew my mind when I found it. Spend the time you need as your arrangements never miss!
Yes Sir Buddy .. that was really NICE !!!
It's perfect for the cold weather 🤗🤗
Best guitarist of the universe. Each time a bit more. Speechless.
Happy playing. This was a masterclass. Keep up the great work
Return of the King!
you have me crying on my bagel this morning, thinking of my sister who we lost last year❤
@uba2 sorry for the loss of your sister. My brother passed away 5 years ago and I still cry when I think of him. Grief does not go away. Hugs.
💚
Nobody does it better than Kent. Pure genius!
The whole band - in one guitar. Extraordinary!
Your previous covers were/are all great , so I don't say this lightly, but the textures, dynamics, groove, sophistication, and simplicity are ALL just getting better! Keep doin what you're doin!!
Theres the beautiful sound this guy creates in his craft and the feel..To enjoy and appreciate..Then theres visually just seeing him at work/play.. the effortless flow with both hands.
aurally and visually sublime..
For me one of the worlds most amazing performers
A gift🙏
Awesome bro….beautiful.

Lovely song played beautifully. There’s no end to your talent. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
The touch and control required to play those staccato notes in the melody is absolutely insane.
Genius
