Amazing 😍 not only do you perform this song with the highest of standards, you also share your secrets... Bravo 👏🇦🇺❤️
I’d kill for tab of “What A Fool Believes.” Any plans to release that?
ありがとうございます！
Have been waiting for too long. Thank you.
eres un genio.........soy tu admirador ...saludos desde Perú
1.2 million views?! Have guitar videos been so common that a gem like this video goes unnoticed? This cover slaps!🔥🔥🔥
For my money this young man is the most exciting guitar player on Earth right now.
💯
It’s 2024 and I’m back listening to this masterpiece
My first time here and learning about Kent.
He's definitely a blessing to us and the reason why the Internet was created! 💖
Same
Has anyone considered Kent might be an alien. His playing is not of this world.
I AGREE!
It's like he's playing 5 guitars at once 😳
Speechless.. 😍
You took the words right outta my mouth man.....Dam that was sublime
You’ve done it again my man!
Absolutely love your covers dude, would love to see a cover from something in the way!
It’s like he’s singing the song with the guitar
I think it's like a whole band is playing in that guitar;)
I Thank it's video versi....so great almost perfect...wish I could play fs like that
Shouldn't the guitar have a japanese accent lol. Jk I'm part japanese too awesome tarent
Even the “hee hees” and “cheum awn! Woo!” Parts, lol
Well yes, this is the point,..
2:45 just casually changing capo without even flinching WOW, entire thing is a perfection
With only your ten fingers you managed to produce the sound of a whole band, and a very good one too. Thank you very much for this moment of grace.
His right hand is a lady's hand tbf
He got 20 fingers, half was invincible😂
You forgot his wrist as well he's using to slap the guitar, but yes
Wow, that capo change at 2:47 , from 4th fret to 5th ,was pure magic, completely flawless and without effort. 😳😲
Terrific..
He's the kind of guys that we need to make famous
I think no other fingerstyle player can top this arrangement and performance with the same song. This playstyle is on another level. His right hand is a cyborg. 😀
isn't the hands, its the arrangement is insane.
@@johncabrera4289 lol it's most definitely both
Check out Paolo gans playing God cover that was a next level fingerstyle too with some percussion
@@lofy-_-8953 yeah, fr, the part at 2:00 in that cover was really impressive with the percussion.
yes lots of nuance in this arrangement. Not "over-played". It is superb. This guy is the very best in the world at what he does.
Nothing is missing, dude plays everything in this great song, wow , my daughter singing along, it’s so perfect Kent you bring joy to my home ….
Glad to see you enjoying more of Kent these days
@@cmdrvarna of course,he’s really good
Waiting for your new reaction video of kents covers 😄
Yes, this! The whole arrangement; amazing.
Glasses Kingdom...have you listened to Ken's rendition of Chicago 25 or 6 to 4?
マイケルの声まで聞こえてきそうで鳥肌がたちました。
Incredible KENT!!! TE cgp.
It is a great honor to hear that from a true guitar maestro, Tommy-san.
Oh, your kind words about Kent will inspire him, Mr. TE cgp!!
you know you've made it when Tommy Emmanuel is all up in your feed! Congrats Kent
MR.TOMMY!! yess
👏
I fully understand how bold this statement is but I do believe that currently there is nobody else who plays this well. It's flawless. There's nothing missing. Nothing. It's really difficult to comprehend just how good this guy is.
..like writing a movie, then shooting it in one take.. just the amount of calculation that must go into every note and every transition, no missed opportunities, no missed details, no compromises _on anything,_ yet everything all at the same time, *from a box with strings.* We've arrived; this is it, the ultimate, logical conclusion of "playing the guitar". I mean, what else is there - making it beatbox, or talk to animals? If, as a species, we stopped everything else we're doing right now and began beaming this channel into space with all the power we can muster, we might finally have justified our existence to the cosmos, is all. "Playing the guitar". One thing we've definitely got down pat.
@@V1br8tor Exactly!!!
Incredibly good!
That's all I got.. freaking amazing!
Absolutely!
Tarantino style perfection too...he plays the songs that matter.
Hey Kent,
Good music to me, is when you forget if it's a band playing, just a guitar , maybe a piano, if there's singing at all.
Damn, you Even forget you're listening...
From the moment you reached the first chorus, I just forgot myself, and for me, this where the magic happens, and the reason I love music.
It's so full, rich, tight, flowing.
So Michael.
You're a true gift to the music world my friend.
Wish I'll see you live one day, or even better, play together.
Stay safe,
Yoni
This may be the most beautiful guitar renditions EVER heard. No words. Speechless
It's impossible to say which song played by Kent is the most beautiful. All of songs played by Kent become masterpieces.
ua-cam.com/video/OS_4chwb4AU/v-deo.html
@@assaokinoshita3820No this one is it for me. 😂 It's so beautiful.
listen to the bass so consistent!
I've been on UA-cam for over a decade and I rarely comment on things. Your brain is superior to a normal human being. To be able to play the melody, to harmonize it and have some chords over it with beats? My mind is blown.
Ever since I was a kid, I have been able to separate different parts of a song as I'm listening to it, from the percussion to the bass to the guitar, keyboard, etc. I could listen to this over and over again. It's food to my ears. I can't get enough of this. What an insane genius you have, Kent Nishimura, and what an inspiration you are to so many musicians out there. Wow! Just, wow!
Agree completely. Melody, bass line, fills, percussion. I was amazed.
That's a real gift. Missy people cannot do that. My youngest daughter can break apart all the harmony lives, the instruments. It's so cool.
Wait wait wait wait, he shifts the capo up at 2:47 and then proceeds to play an octave up?! That's nuts. I didn't even notice until my second watch it was so smooth.
It rolls from the front and back.
Whole step, not an octave. Scale change.
If only MJ had seen this..i think he would be proud of this amazing guitar cover of his song..thank you for bringing this cover.
I know a lot of people can probably play this on a technical level, but to come up with the arrangement is a different kind of skill and this may be perfection.
why only still 276k subscribers... The greatest, the greatest player ever
I'm a trumpet 🎺 player.... right now I'm trying to digest what I am seeing and hearing. Freaking amazing!!
I.....uh...I just can't get my head around how someone SO YOUNG can be this phenomenal!!! Your intonation, the strumming, finger picking, percussion, even the VOCALS!!!!! You capture the vocals so well that I can hear every single word in my head!!! I've been playing since I was 4, born to two musicians, now I'm 46. There have been a couple times here and there when I discovered other types of the arts and put music on the back burner, but youy friend.....you've got to be practicing 10 hours a day, right? My God!!!!
All I know is that I've yet to make it through a single one of your compositions without crying!!!! Trust me when I say this is very much NOT a bad thing!!!! Just like another comment said, YOU BRING JOY TO THE WORLD!!!! You may even be one of the top players alive!!!! Thank goodness for you!!!! You bring so much happiness into a world filled with hate and prejudice!!! We NEED the Kent's of the world!!!! Thank you!!!!!
agreed! Kent is only 19 years old! but his playing is phenomenal for ANY age.
question: I´m 18 and i can cover songs like this in 1 to 2 weeks i can also play like mike dawes (one by metallica) etc. but in the last 2 years i havent played the guitar because of the lack of motivation. I now go to the gym. should i keep playing guitar and start yt? I have no music theory skills.
Every time I see this young man it's like he's playing hands-free and his heart is plucking the strings
It's evident he possesses a deep understanding of music! This rendition showcases not only his technical prowess but also his innate creativity & ability to think outside the box. It's impressive to witness such an incredible display of musical talent from someone so young. This arrangement leaves a lasting impact, making us appreciate the song in an entirely different way.
These harmonics!!! Regular people have left and right sides to their brain. Kent has left, right, north, south, east, west, top, bottom, and more. It's simply amazing what you do!
Lol😅😂
Just came back to listen to this after 11 days and noticed Kents gained 2k subscribers. C'mon everyone, let's share this and get him the attention he deserves.
Moving the capo up one fret was a clever one for the modulation. I knew within 5 seconds of playing this it was going to be a beauitful rendition. One of the best I've heard in a long time sir, well done.
One of the best renditions of the anthem of my life. Man in the mirror should be a standard.
「今から何が始まるのだろう」と興奮せずにはいられないイントロ（導入部）からエンディング（最後の１音）まで、西村ケントのアレンジ・センスと演奏の技量は「もはやココまで来たのか～ッ!!」という驚きと共に世界中のケント・ファンを狂喜させること間違いナシの素晴らしさ。あの「Thriller」のカヴァーをUA-camで公開した初演から３年目となる今年。大きな成長を遂げる時にマイケル・ジャクスンの作品が関わっているというのも、天国にいるキング・オブ・ポップとの「リスペクトを込めた心の交信」が行われているようで、思わず涙ぐんでしまう程の感動を覚えました。ケントくん、ありがとう。
コメント読んで涙が出てきた・・・・なぜだろう
Wow. Even the first 25 seconds of this song seem completely out of the reach of anyone I know. Tapping harmonics with the right hand while strumming and working the fretboard with the left hand, and everything timed perfectly. Incredible!
yes that was absolutely mindblowing ; i couldn't believe my eyes and ears
100% agreed, Kent's ear and skill level are completely off the charts, best arranger and acoustic player I've ever seen and heard
Harmonics are so hard especially to get them so crisp. And then he’s playing melody on top of it. Stop it! 😂
i listened while working. stoped to see how many are playing… Needed a few seconds to figure out whats going on there :-) Out of reach for me
Not to mention he’s still tapping the beat at the same time as all that too lol
Maaan the precision on his picking fingers is unreal. To keep the resonance and depth on those picks without dampening the other chords is unreal, then throw in the percussion to boot. To say this man is talented is in an understatement. Annnd hes only getting started.
I've lost count how many times I have listened and enjoyed this one and your other renditions of classics. your qualities attract real musicians. Our level of appreciation comes from understanding the work and talent necessary to present something so unique.
Thank you, Kent. Keep it going.
God I love this so much
God bless you and the work of your hands dear boy
To everyone here listening to this awesome relaxing music, If you are feeling down today, remember this: Life its like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs but in the end it will always be worth it. Don’t give up! We believe in you!
I think it's more like a box of chocolates
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg definitely more accurate
Bro is him. Bro is that guy. Bro is just built different. Bro is the main character🤯🤯😭😭😭😭💯🔥🔥
100%
He has the best playlist among the fingerstyle players.
100% agree
Oh absolutely! There's not even a close second.
This Dude seriously! It's mind-boggling how he does it. Simply outstanding. Kent is the GOAT.
Either you are or you're not....this is is.....I love this guy. What a gift
He plays very precisely, so the sound comes out clean and pleasant, without the harsh squeak of finger dragging on the strings.
If MJ was still around to hear this he would have absolutely loved it. Thank you for this.
KENT Deserves 10Million view at least. SUPREME GOLD STANDARD of how a guitar should be played and fully utilized.
１音１音を 大切に 丁寧に演奏している感じ。
作曲者冥利につきるだろうなぁ。
喜んでるんじゃないかなぁ。
月の上で。
I better still be around when you hit 1 million subs. If you don't I will loose my faith in people. You certainly deserve it Kent.
Definetly Kent is on another level.
Sigh... Kent bringing Pure Genius again. MJ's gotta be smiling down on this Sweet Ear Candy!!!
SIR, Michael can hear you..i am speechless..thanks
That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard!
I’m sharing this with my whole family! My mom was the biggest Michael Jackson fan and still is and you are-just wow!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Not a single beat missed... incredible.
another great piece for beginners. Thanks Kent!
🤣
😂
I can only do a capo slide 🤣
For beginners ?! You must be kiddin'
@@Dessme Whooooooosh!
His intonation is absolutely incredible.
Woke up, prepped coffee, opened youtube, saw Kent posted a new cover and watched it! Damn boy, this kid got a god given talent. 🔥👏🏻
As always Kent showing why he is one of the best fingerstyles of planet.
I happened in to Kent. I am addicted. Thank you god.
Most talented guitarist on UA-cam
This is what genius looks like, this guy is "off the hook" talented!
Another reason why I love your arrangements, Kent, is because other guitarists, particular jazz musicians, reharmonize and add so much to the song that I can't even tell what's going on. I don't understand any of the complex, over-the-top intellectual musical stuff going, and that's coming from someone who has a basic grasp of music theory already. I love how sweet and concise your covers are-- nothing overly intellectual or jazzy, just the good ol' song perfectly recreated, with all the details, as the original sounds. Keep doing what you do!
other (jazz) guitarist cannot do this .. this guy is totally unique.. we are witnessing something really special here..ive been playing guitar over 45 years and have seen
a lot of the great (fingerstyle) players but no one can come close to this guy... just compare tuck andress his version.. then u know what i mean
I agree completely, the man does percussion, lead, rhythm, bass, and melody but doesn’t add any unnecessary flare.
As someone who was trained for years in jazz I completely agree. I respect this style so much because of the musical intricacies and harmony arrangement, Not just dissonant bs that’s purposefully avant- grade
Your opinion isn't a reflection on jazz though, it's a reflection on your own simple tastes. Preferring comic books to Michaelangelo doesn't make him less of a master.
@@alichamas63 where kent is def michelangelo
Not only are you rocking this song..you playing with emotion..I feel every second...tears in my eyes
Just noticed the Don Ross shirt .... Great guitarist as well I can't stop listening to this
Just speechless. At this point there's really no words to describe how amazing Kent's playing is.
I really love that capo shift!
This is guitar playing at its finest.
One of my favorite MJ tunes, made perfect by unequivocally my favorite guitarist. I'm not a crier, but Kent's covers *usually* make me tear up. Like, most of the time. It's like hearing someone speak to you in your own language for the first time after a long time away. Almost a sense of relief. It's the best of what music is for.
Me too. I'm literally crying now. BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED!!
The best a guitar can be.
Everytime you upload a song to youtube I think: "Now how is he going to top that?"... and everytime a new vid pops up I am amazed allover again. Pure perfection. Thank you.
ye, getting better i think ^_^
Rarely watch twice but.....this one was good! All the jazz guitar players know how difficult arranging is let alone playing it. Such a clean, precise, unencumbered sound.
I would imagine this would have to be 10 out of 10 on the guitar difficulty scale. There is no way to overstay how talented this guy is
No matter how many times I watch this I’m more amazed every time.
He effortlessly plays the big drum on the beat with his right wrist, also. Just fantastic.
The song is what matters the most when history looks back, and you just did a virtuosic performance of it. Magical!
I close my eyes and it feels like I'm listening to Michael sing...
Good god that was beautiful.
The "detail" is incredible.
I dare can say Kent is now the world's best acoustic guitar player!!
best fingerstyle cover ever. EVER 👍👍👍❤️
How does this not have millions of views? This is amazing. ❤ great cover.
So beautiful to see when an artist has mastered their craft so well, their instruments become an extension of their soul.
Where you are, I may never get there. But you give me something to strive for. In the mean time, I get to listen to the most amazing fingerstyle arrangements by the most gifted guitarist I've ever seen and heard anywhere. Thank you!
I think people like these are the true aliens. Look how young he is and as good as he is. This just doesn't come from practice. He has a command of tuning and the fretboard that is unbelievable. I just look and listen and just throw my hands up. Too good. Too skillful.
I’m with you Rudy, I’m utterly amazed by people like Kent. Especially since my music ability is zero! I would give my left you know what to play like this kid!
💯
Respect 👏👏👏👏👏standing ovation 👏👏👏👏
At 2:33 he remained faithful to the subtle delay Michael sang that part line of the chorus. Attention to the smallest detail.
WOW.... WOW... WOW... Thank you for sharing your gift. Holy Moly.
his fingerstyle is another level
The way he transposed made me marvel!
I still remember that feeling when I came across fingerstyle watching old Tuck Andress VHS, when he starts his "fingerstyle mastery" video tutorial with this fantastic song. It was unreachable for me, a one guitar sounded like an orchestra. But your arrangement and performance is waaaay cool. Fantastic groove, like a freight train without brakes ) Made my day, Kent, good luck!
This is the best guitar cover of this song since the song was written.
Don't even like the original, but this has been in my head 24/7 for a week. Lol.
Kent continues to amaze. I can't imagine what it's like to be listening to the radio and be like, 'oh, yeah, I can arrange that into a perfect solo acoustic piece' and then execute like this. A joy to behold.
By far the best cover! Hands down!
Today is my first time seeing and hearing you play. I'm blown away by your talent!!!
There are few superlatives I can say that everyone else before me hasn't already said... Kent your incredible talent never ceases to amaze. Thank you.
I never was and probably never will be a MJ fan, but god damn I really have admit that he made some incredible songs.
How very beautiful. Absolutely wonderful! 🥰
Capo slide for the key change is a boss move. Dude can play.
Unbelievable. My favorite so far. Thank you!! Where can I send money?
I think the reason why Kent only have 250k+ subscribers is because only few people nowadays appreciate "OLD BUT GOLD MUSIC" like this.
Thank you so much Kent. I'm a silent but avid follower of you since this channel has 9k subs 2 years ago. Never missed a single upload without viewing it multiple times. Soon the world will appreciate you even more! Keep inspiring! God bless!
That's what I've been thinking all this time. Young folks should discover good old music.
You must be young. I don't call late 80s old. LOL.
@@Jeorge_Supero As a "young folk" we do listen to old music it's just not whats mainstream so it doesnt get talked about as much. i also wholeheartedly believe that the reason kent only has 270k subs isnt due to a lack of appreciation but more youtube not recommending this to people as most people don't listen to solo acoustic covers (even though they should with talents like kent out there)
Maybe he should cover a new trendy song like the weekend or silk sonic to get into the UA-cam algorithm.
@@1HeatWalk he covered 'crazy' which is fairly recent
This is special. There are many finger style players, but the tasteful and dynamic playing here almost makes the insane difficulty take a back seat, as we go for the ride.
