What makes Kent different from other guitarist is his ability to preserve the detailed texture of the both the instrumental and voice parts from the original, the dips and increase in amplitude, the softness and hardness of each note, even the knocks and palm taps, always comparable to the original. I commend the level of respect he has for the original song and artist. Just insane talent.
And I think he judges how well he plays when he can't hear himself. As a muso I've experienced that occasionally, but I think this is the sea Kent swims in.
I’ve seen him done fingerstyle covers with unnecessary flicks that losses the originality of the song though. Not a fan of his work but I gave this one a chance and I’d say this is good.
I generally don’t have good things to say when a cover tune placed on UA-cam was created in a recording session but this man’s guitar prowess earns him that right to do so. People need to hear every nuance of his extraordinary guitar playing the backdrop is just icing on the cake.
Much mahalo for the song and scenery. It goes perfect together. What a beautiful song and you represent the song well. This is one of my favs song, as it is a true mental paradise for me when I hear it.
Amazing guitar playing by Kent! His playing is magnificent . What a joy to listen and see him play, and bring joy to his audience. Keep it going Kent! ❤ .
It's not only his note choices ...it's what he doesn't play. Watching Kent grow up before our very own eyes and to see his progression ...he's just gotten smoother and even better with what he "doesn't play".
Kent, this is amazing! Every nuance is perfect, but the whole entire bridge starting around 2:45 is really magical. You must've spent a good deal of time getting this one to perfection, not to mention figuring out the tuning. Absolutely awesome !!!
Chills through and through listening to your guitar instrumental fingerstyle music of Christopher Cross ! Each notes you play it melodiously very clearly. I love it. Thank you for sharing. All the best to you. I've subscribed to support your lovely channel.
Kent an absolute masterful and flawless tribute to Christopher Cross. He is surely looking down and smiling while listening to this one. #KentNishimura #ChristopherCross

Loved it.
Thank you Kent.
That's exactly how that goes!

It is such a gift when Kent drops a new video. The quality of what he is giving us is really unbelievable.

I think he's listening.to the original in his head as he plays.
totally agree, he does a masterful job of combining the original's vocal's/lyrical expression with the instrumental melody - absolutely beautiful.

@@jollibee000 I'd say not in the last 2 years. He has developed.
Just when you think he can’t get any better…. Just simply amazing… I hope Mr. Cross sees and hears this.
Totally agree!
There has got to be a way to get it to him.
Beautiful rendition ! Keep playing and sharing your beautiful guitar artistry!
headphones on... eyes closed... really did sail away.............. Kent, you are one amazing human.........thank you
But then he went and synced the video up on the seaside cliffs for nothing.
@@dewitt.powers headphones on...eyes open........nice job Kent
This has to be one of the most beautiful comment sections ever on UA-cam. Lovely people listening to lovely music.
Totally agree.

Absolutely beautiful,I wish you did tutorials. Again absolutely amazing, thank you
I sincerely do not understand how Kent does not have Millions of subscribers, Just my opinion.

I'm also asking myself this same question
Now THAT is simply beautiful. Well done!!!

omg.
i'm weeping. sobbing even.
anyone else?
lord have mercy.
what you talking about... im enraged and just smashed my guitar.
Christopher Cross must be proud to see his composition performed on the guitar so perfectly!
Even the waves crashing in the ocean and the wind went silent for this one…made nature just like a studio.
Simply amazing, enjoyed listening to
Wonderful cover!
❤️
Excellent choice
i love how you keep the guitar pattern going even through the melody. great arrangement. you ever kept the piano solo!
👏👏👏👏 Brilliant. Very good. Excellent!
Outstanding and unbelievable. What mastery at such a young age. and a fantastic cover.
❤❤❤bravo..... Nice arrangement
It's not only his note choices ...it's what he doesn't play. Watching Kent grow up before our very own eyes and to see his progression ...he's just gotten smoother and even better with what he "doesn't play".
Very true. As a bass player, myself, I am keen on this. It may be a silly trope, but "Less is More" in a great many cases...
Kent, you are easily the best contemporary guitarist in the planet.
He's very good but taking it a bit far
@@jeffreyhill5137nope, Kent is the best :)

I thought he was using a looper. Amazing!❤
Never disappoints…

Kent, another standing ovation here for you in Rhode Island, USA!
Kent, this is amazing! Every nuance is perfect, but the whole entire bridge starting around 2:45 is really magical. You must've spent a good deal of time getting this one to perfection, not to mention figuring out the tuning. Absolutely awesome !!!
