It's an absolutely absurd song to fingerstyle, and yet here we are. I honestly can't tell if this was a troll choice because I'm still laughing while I'm listening to it, and yet Kent makes it work.
I’m old enough to remember the release of that song...he nailed it. Truly gifted...4 polyrhythms going at the same time at some points...wow! A one-man band on one instrument!!
When I closed my eyes. I could hear 3 different guitar players and a drummer. They all sound distinct and crisp. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING! THIS IS INSANEEEEE!
I agree with you.. he chooses songs with chords that are not as simple as pop songs in general, this is also what distinguishes him from other fingerstyles, choosing good songs makes his arrangements also more colorful, also shows his taste in music
Everytime I watch this video, my head cannot help but sway from side to side in sync with the groove... Of course I am only human, and humans appreciate good music and talent unless one is a block of wood.
I've listened to everyone and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone cover this sound finger style. Wouldn't have thought it possible. And then God made Kent and gave him such talent it became possible. Years from now we'll have a whole new crop of players imitating him. Thanks to God and his parents.
Having started high school in 1975, when this song came out, I was one of those "Disco Sucks" people. Hated it and this song was right up there in the lead. However, I must say, listening to this rendition, played by this young man, just made me smile. Loved it! Great Job Kent!
This is strangely addictive... I've just listened to it for a full day of work and can't put my headphones down. Fingerstyle guitar groove at its finest! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
U got groove, funky vibes, crisp sound, accuracy on the fretboard so fluent, tis a feeling of peace n love Bro u be like the "Lord of the Strings" yup I'm one of ur many disciples
I was looking forward to the full version of this and it's totally lit! Somebody give him more love and induct him to the guitarists' hall of fame for his innate skill!!
Genius. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and making our world a better place. You give some of us inspiration, some of us hope and all of us joy.
Love hearing this, the music of my youth! Mad respect to Mr. Nishimura for his arranging and playing --- AND, this is probably the least "disco"-sounding arrangement of this song I've ever heard (completely a factor of instrumentation, imo). Impressive, though!
This guy is amazing. I’ve been playing guitar my entire life and never imagine the sounds coming out of this guitar like he has sound coming out of this guitar
You almost caught me Kent I'm like "No way is he playing those high notes simultaneously with the accompaniment". You're entitled to double track here and there son. Great job.
Masterpiece indeed. The new “Mister Guitar” Kudos and then some 👍🎸 For those who didn’t like it. What planet are you on man? Come on. Maybe it’s jealousy.
What a GREAT talent you are. And the way you show it in your videos, always keeping the camera of the strings and your mesmerizing fingers, makes it hypnotic experience. I watch in amazement. You really are the greatest guitar player I ever had the privilege to enjoy.
I did not in my whole life imagine I would see "The Hustle" played on an acoustic steel guitar like this. Amazing.
You stole my comment. Who would have thought of this song for a fingerstyle guitar....?
Ditto
and yet here it is. it's amazing 👏
It's an absolutely absurd song to fingerstyle, and yet here we are. I honestly can't tell if this was a troll choice because I'm still laughing while I'm listening to it, and yet Kent makes it work.
Me too
Mr. Nishimura... Van McCoy would be PROUD. He was the original artist of this song in 1975. R.I.P. Van McCoy. 1940-1979.
For all of us out their who played guitar for the longest time, we all know that Kent is simply Awesomeness Personified.
よくこれをアコギ一本でやろうと思ったなっていう…
もう一生聴かなくていいぐらい耳に入って来すぎたけど、こうやって聴いてみるとすごく心地良いなあ
休日の朝いつもと同じ時間に目が覚めちゃって、でも休みだしゴロゴロしてもいいし出かけてもいいし、何しようかな〜ってゆったりワクワクしてる感じ
I’m old enough to remember the release of that song...he nailed it. Truly gifted...4 polyrhythms going at the same time at some points...wow! A one-man band on one instrument!!

Kent is here to stay folks! Greatest talent I've seen in a long time!
The hustle in a guitar??? Unbelieveable!!!😲
Gingerstyle guitar playing The Hustle like a full band... I have to say WOW 15 times. Not to mention dat groove, my feet are tapping!!!!!
Geez you where not even born yet when this song became so popular. I applaud you for doing justice to this song by playing acoustic rendition.
His choice of songs is superb.
I agree with you.. he chooses songs with chords that are not as simple as pop songs in general, this is also what distinguishes him from other fingerstyles, choosing good songs makes his arrangements also more colorful, also shows his taste in music
Listening to this in the backseat of a bus on a cold rainy monday afternoon and watching the world go by....thank u.
ok i never thought i would see the hustle played fingerstyle this guy is just amazing
The late Van McCoy who wrote this #1 hit would be so proud of you Kent. Well done.
Wow 👌 excellent... mastered this craft thanks for sharing 👍
This is a new dimension of crazy talent. Take a bow sir
Everytime I watch this video, my head cannot help but sway from side to side in sync with the groove... Of course I am only human, and humans appreciate good music and talent unless one is a block of wood.
This guy is virtuoso , clean touches , every note is clear
I've listened to everyone and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone cover this sound finger style. Wouldn't have thought it possible. And then God made Kent and gave him such talent it became possible. Years from now we'll have a whole new crop of players imitating him. Thanks to God and his parents.
I cannot put my admiration into words... you are a superb guitarist!
i'd be totally floored if he hollers "do the hustle!" in the exact timing while he is playing LOL...great job , Kent!
Just wow. Not just bass and melody, but bass and melody on top of melody... Simply incredible.
I decided to watch ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS, no matter how many after this!!....simply amazing! God bless!!
ITAG BBN News Me too
Same here
hehe..likewise here
Internet rules always right ! i am never the only since the internet

I am in the same boat.
Kent Nishimura is awesome!!!
Man I’m blown away this guys play to the Hustle by Van McCoy, I dance this disco indeed in the 70’s a real talent indeed
Forget his guitar skills. Just his choice of songs tells you he's special.
With you there!
Amen to that.
Hes not racist, he loves all music 😁
I agreed !
Agreed. I believe good music tastes takes a long time to develop and it's not surprising Kent's is excellent
Pure mastery of the fretboard and the music dynamics. Hats off to you.
素晴らしい。先ず、世界的に大ヒットした、このディスコ曲を６弦のギターでアレンジしてみようと思いついた、その事が素晴らしい。ケントくんのアレンジは、いつも通りオリジナル録音のバンド・サウンドそのものを感じさせるモノですが、多くの方々がコメントしていらっしゃる通り、それがどれだけモノ凄いテクニックを要するものかは、フツーの感覚を持ったヒューマンビーイングなら容易に理解できる事でしょう。しかも、ケントくんによる全てのアレンジ作品に言える事ですが、そのテクニックが前面に出ておらず、あくまで完成した作品を輝かせるためのもので、テクニックを見せびらかしたりという事が全くありません。そんな自制的な事が16歳の少年に出来るのかと不思議に思う方もいらっしゃるだろうけれど、出来てしまっているのだから、仕方ない（笑）。
このビデオでケントくんの顔は映されていないですが、おそらく「喜々として」彼はプレイしているのでしょう。そんなケントくんの表情さえ見えてくるような、聴いていて楽しくなる演奏ですね。
Awesome version of this disco classic! 👍😃
that's too good!
An instrument truly mastered is magic to the ears.
Man o man. Such sheer joy to listen to sheer talent. I was grooving the whole time. Kent, you are simply the best.
amazing!
Is there a genre Kent won't tackle ? Simply amazing.
Holidays music !!! Incredible.
I don't understand why anybody would dislike this guitar playing. This guy is gifted!
Whoever that was must be living in Woke City..
TALENT AT ITS FINEST ... .... BEYOND WORDS....

Wow!! Thanks Kent!!
Jeez there’s no song you can’t play. What talent.
Just awesome. Those harmonics on top of everything else going on.... Wow.
He is too young to know that song but he’s a young master in his arts.
Love hearing this, the music of my youth! Mad respect to Mr. Nishimura for his arranging and playing --- AND, this is probably the least "disco"-sounding arrangement of this song I've ever heard (completely a factor of instrumentation, imo). Impressive, though!
Damn I dance this song back in the 70’s I’m stoke😳

It's like each string is a different instrument!
Masterpiece indeed. The new “Mister Guitar” Kudos and then some 👍🎸 For those who didn’t like it. What planet are you on man? Come on. Maybe it’s jealousy.
