A guitar is just a bundle of wood and strings without the man... The man is just a bundle of skin and bones without the heart. The heart in this young man is translated directly to music... Fellows this is what a heart sounds like. Amazing.
I think we already have a musician from the new millennium, any single song on your fingers has become masterpieces. The strings of your guitar pulsate in time with your heart. And what a wonderful heart. He would spend hours watching his concerts.
I'm a huge Earl Klugh fan and I actually prefer this version because of the absence of vocals . . . makes you appreciate the instrument playing brilliance even more . . . this guy is simply outstanding!
Have you seen the live concert of Earl Klugh where he played that music but recorder-flute was used instead of the vocal part? It is actually the best version
We in the guitar family all have those who inspire us to play, duplicate a sound riff or solo. That is until now. In a singular sense chord structure. Tone. Touch. Voicing. But to see and hear all of the above in a 17 year old. I can play most anything except u. I may show my butt on stage, buy in my quite study I will pull my chair up and listen learn and practice. You are the new level of perfection.
Sadly, only actual musicians can truly understand how good Kent is. The guy does not aim to impress if his arrangements are any indication. I'm afraid to say this guy will never get the massive appreciation he truly deserves. Yes, he has a lot of followers now, but if the number of followers should properly reflect one's talent, skill, and heart, this guy should have millions of followers.
Having heard Earl Klugh perform this song in concert several times & owning a bunch of his albums, this young man really captures Earl's essence as a musician. I'm impressed.
Kent belongs to the elite when it comes to guitar playing. All the small details of every song he played really amazes me, so precise. Its like you are listening to the original song. Kent deserves not only a million subscribers but hundreds of millions strong subscribers. One of the most underrated guitarist in the planet. Subscribe now coz this guy is no doubt the best maker of guitar cover in the world.
Underrated for sure. In order to be commercially successful, showmanship has to be in the mix. Someone like Tommy Emmanuel. Regardless I stay up till wee hours listening to Kent’s covers and marvel at his skills.
I’m 53 years old and I’ve been listening to Earl Klugh since the beginning. I must’ve heard this song 1000 times! However this is the best version I’ve ever heard. I’ll be listening to this at least 1000 times!
I have been in the last 40 years a big jazz fan, hearing all the great jazz players, since the mid 70´s, but someone like you, never in my life, tv or radio, let me tell you K.N., today 16 is my birthday, and founding you in youtube, have been my birthday present.
I am overwhelmed by the level of this talent and skill This is not about showing off, but all about beauty. I know no one in this genre. Never heard one single player sound like a combo.
Earl Klugh is one of my all time favourite guitarists, but this version is just brilliant, There are not many covers that are much better than the original, this is one.
Who are the 34 people who gave a thumbs down? This young man is incredible. I should have been asleep an hour ago, but I can’t stop watching his videos.
This amazing young man, Mr. Kent Nishimura, and others like Mike Dawes, Alexandr Misko, Gabriel Quevedo, Jon Gomm...they all have transcended "guitar playing". THESE artists, all of them, deserve Emmys, record deals, accolades, praise, and monetary reward for mastering their craft. For me, they are revitalizing hope for humanity. Just effing awesome, one and all. Thank you for YOU, Mr. Nishimura!
I think we already have a musician from the new millennium, any single song on your fingers has become masterpieces. The strings of your guitar pulsate in time with your heart. And what a wonderful heart. He would spend hours watching his concerts.
SIMPLY STUNNING and so beautifully produced and played..... Kent YOU are a Genius and such a wonderful Talent, a real pleasure for both the eyes and ears, these videos. Thank You for sharing your gift!!
Love this young man's musicianship. I wouldn't say better than the original, just a different version. After all this song is almost 30 years old! Love to hear this young man doing some of his original compositions.
I've grown tired of trying to tell you how amazing you are, but here's goes........Truly Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you Kent!!! And much respect to the camera man/woman!
@@azzajohnson2123 wow, only 16 years old? my word, he's going to go very far with this peculiar skill...I love Earl Klugh's beautiful guitar music and people who appreciate and even play it like Kent are my friends...this is very beautiful indeed ;)
This is the first video I watched from Kent. I’m a big fan of Earl Klugh and after hearing this great arrangement, I’m now a big fan of Kent Nishimura.
Aloha from Hawaii, Nishimura-san! Man, in Hawaii we say chicken-skin. You are creative genius to translate Earl Klugh piece to an acoustic steel 6-string guitar is phenomenal. Bradduh, you have a special talent at your age. So beautiful, I can feel it coming from heart, which translate into an awesome guitar who has a passion. Keep on going, hopefully we see you one day in Hawaii, performing your favorite pieces.
Somebody call Jimmy Kimmel or James Cordin to get Kent on TV. I've never heard of him but HE IS THE REAL DEAL...Ienjoy how he taps the body of the instrument too.
I've never seen a guitarist playing so damn clear like you do. A guitar virtouso no doubt about it, and aside from that you surpassed all the great guitarist out there. Playing acoustic that clear is so hard. I've playing guitar for almost 2 decades but i can't play the way you do. Congratulations! You are the best indeed!
Please cover the Earl Klugh song 'Doc'...it's one of the happiest songs I've ever heard. Great job on this track, you've got the nylon string feel down!
Kent, Excellent Job on this beautiful Song. In my honest opinion, Earl Klugh is the most underrated guitarist of the last 45 years. Guitarist like yourself prove Earl’s influence on the playing of this instrument. I have subscribed.
Hallo Kent, you're creating covers with a love and a care for details that are truly unattainable, world-class covers! I'm really amazed at how rich they are. And you can play with a great, exceptional feeling! Great Grea Great!! Luca, from Rome
Thank you Kent! Beyond the technical excellence, it is unbelievable that you are so young and able to already incorporate the subtle nuances that usually take years of playing and practice in guitar playing. Well done! Keep having fun!
im so speechless!! At this age, there has to be a mastermind behind the song choices !! he is too young for such choices. Either way, you impress me so much young man! kepp it up, you have such a talent!
I grew up with Earl Klugh so it’s nice to have his music resurface in your capable hands. It would be nice to have you do this on a nylon string although some of the stretches are probably to far to make; maybe.
Wow, I am in tears, "Living inside your love" is one of Klugh's great compositions. I'd love to listen this musician playing some of José Feliciano's songs, like "Chico and The Man" among others, even a collaboration recording.

Not very often you actually get to watch and hear a genius at work.. But there it is people right there!!
I do not have the words in my vocabulary to describe how absolutely beautiful he plays. Thank you Kent Nishimura for your music.
Magical , beautiful, perfection 🫣❤️

I was Fifteen when I heard Keith Jarrett. I am fifty and I hear Kent Nishimura. I love Glenn Gould too and all the fabulous genius like you.
By far the best render of this song I've ever heard
Who are the 34 people who gave a thumbs down? This young man is incredible. I should have been asleep an hour ago, but I can’t stop watching his videos.
I will kill the people who gives thumbs down hahahaha only joking.
Earl Klugh fan here but this is absolute brilliant arrangement.
Thank you for showing us the fingerings and how to play this masterpiece!
Earl Klugh must be smiling and nodding his head with approval for this excellent rendition.
This young man’s taste in music is well beyond his years. Phenomenal talent and musicianship is off the charts…

Smooth like butter! Earl Klugh will be proud. 👏🏾👏🏾
Beautiful rendition, Kent.
Klugh is such great guitarist and deserves to be well known by the new generation.
When I close my eyes and listen you play, the sound just like come from a band of musicians playing instruments.
Love this young man's musicianship. I wouldn't say better than the original, just a different version. After all this song is almost 30 years old! Love to hear this young man doing some of his original compositions.
By far the most cleanest and detailed cover of my all time fav song from Earl Klugh.
You do it very well
Simply beautiful. Thanks Kent. What a gift you have.
K.N is one of best guitar player in this World !
Kent Nishimura never ceases to amaze me with his incredible talent, skill and precision. Keep on playing to make a lot of people happy.

Check out NAUDO in the search bar. This guy is amazing, though.
An absolute musical genius is how I would describe him.

He has many albums out, but you have to get it from Japan. But look him up if you haven't already, you'll be amazed.
Kent is magical and talented. I dont have a lick of magical talent but never did I say that I did.
Yeah he's like a one man band
I've never seen a guitarist playing so damn clear like you do. A guitar virtouso no doubt about it, and aside from that you surpassed all the great guitarist out there.

Fingerstyle guitar whiz kid. Phenomenal
Human beings are amazing animals, and this guy is at the top of the heap in terms of evolutionary brilliance. Simply unbelievable.
im glad this guys not influenced by hip hop got to keep the real music alive !
Better than Earl playing with a full band. Just my humble and accurate opinion.
Oh my gosh... you bring back fond memories as far as 3 decades ago. I am tearful. Wow you made my day!
His song and style are magical, when I hear it, I like it right away
finally i can hear again the MUSIC...hi Kent, thanks a
lot.
This kid is an amazing musician...
Another level above anyone I've ever heard of in this style of playing. So much going on here. Incredible!!!!
Earl Klugh is pretty good too.
@@marktyler3381 no one like our friend Earl Klugh ;)
Kent is magic.
Kent, that was so wonderfully played version. Memories of the iconic Earl Klugh.

Its a time machine disguised as a guitar. Dude you've just sent me 4 decades back in time,... 😂
Hallo Kent,
you're creating covers with a love and a care for details that are truly unattainable, world-class covers! I'm really amazed at how rich they are. And you can play with a great, exceptional feeling! Great Grea Great!! Luca, from Rome
Brilliant! Played so cleanly yet delicate phrasing.
Yesss bro love your taste in making the guitar sing. Beautifully played! Respect from New Zealand
Fingerstyle guitar music literally saved my life, and continues to on a daily basis. Keep practicing, everyone.
He is a living God among us
That powerful chorus really took me by surprise, damn 😨
I still cannot believe my ears 👍👍👍
A millennial who covers old songs.. Godsent. ❤️
From one who grew to love smooth jazz at his age, can’t wait to see what else there is.
どこまで天才なんだ、この子は！
For a while there I thought the word “genius” was dead. Very grateful for the reminder; thanks.
His guitars are so lucky and happy.
More Earl Klugh covers pleaseeee
Love this Artist! Pure joy in his heart when he plays.
Kent you really amazed the world with your guitar playing.
Kent,I listen to this one at least 5xs.a day 🦋🦋🦋😇🙏🙏🙏🌈😇😇😇🌞
Me too!
didn't think I'd hear a steel string version that I'd love as much as earl klugh's nylon masterpiece, but here it is .
Thank you Kent! Beyond the technical excellence, it is unbelievable that you are so young and able to already incorporate the subtle nuances that usually take years of playing and practice in guitar playing. Well done! Keep having fun!
. . . brought tears to my eyes.
Great performance on a great Earl Klugh’s song! It is not easy at all!
Awesome!! I really love the way you play those harmonies
Wow!
Simply beautiful. Love your version of this timeless piece. Never stop playing kid. One of my all time favorites composed by Earl Klugh
私は古い世代のアコースティック・ギターファンで、ペンタングルとかジョン・レンボーンとか、中川イサトとか好きですが、新しい感覚のアレンジは素晴らしいですね。もちろんテクニックも。新鮮な驚きとともにギターのさらなる可能性を感じます。
" Beatyfull Acustic Guitar Sound ". .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋
Superb arrangement with warmth, depth and tone. Your playing is full of colour like an exquisite piece of art. Thanks for playing to us!
You are a true virtuoso !! How about doing your own arrangement of a piece by Earl Klugh/Bob James - "I'll Never See You Smile Again"
It's amazing how easy he makes it look.
im so speechless!! At this age, there has to be a mastermind behind the song choices !! he is too young for such choices. Either way, you impress me so much young man! kepp it up, you have such a talent!
GIFTED.
It's like eating a great dish with all this fantastic flavors rolled into one. Just speechless. I'm eating with tears in my eyes for this one.
Stumbled upon this cover and now I can’t live without it!! Love it so much... Thanks a million!!!
Outstanding Version.
天才だ

You play excellently. Thank you for the opportunity to listen to your skills.
This young man got game. Always keep humble. The way the music flows just close your eyes and it becomes so real. As if you were there living it.
From a fellow guitarist who appreciates great guitar music, my heartfelt congratulations to you Kent. You're simply amazing.
Ohhh my... this is pleasant for my ears 🥲
Smooth and silky with no showing off ! just a masterpiece of guitar playing.. Bravo... L.A Rob
