    No one does acoustic guitar cover arrangements like Kent Nishimura - he does all the parts with symphonic purity. Bravo Kent! You are a legend already, at your young age.

    This song has been covered by many wonderful solo artists, and Kent has done a fantastic service to this tune with his arrangement, I think we can all agree on that… I would love to believe John is humble enough to realize how much talent has tried to replicate his timeless melody, cause after all, can you imagine being the man that wrote and produced this first?! And then seeing guys like this pay real homage… Awesome, and fantastic Kent!
