Beauty and the Beast - Acoustic Guitar Cover (Fingerstyle) arranged by Kent Nishimura

[@stephenmarkp.auxtero8560]

As a guitar player, I have admired many musicians. But I have never been as addicted to this person. God bless you.

[@philominachinmccauley3081]

Same with me.

[@BroRegar]

God bless You Too

[@lukehenneberry3050]

Check out Sungha Jung, his really good too

[@LuckDragonProxies]

I am not ashamed to say this in the least. But if you read this Kent, this legitimately moved me to tears at the beauty of your skill and mastery of the complexities of the piece. Never stop playing as you have an incredible talent. If you ever have a bad day I hope this comment comes back to your mind to remind you that music is a universal language and can move people in ways they never expected. Thank you for sharing this with the world!!

[@mario_672]

Beautifull words!

[@bryansphere6359]

This kid ... he is one of the rare ones who knows that the music doesn’t just come from the fretboard. It comes from deep within the soul. I’m moved to tears. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with the world.

[@nestorpadernal8366]

So do I

[@jyewhin]

The way he preserves the spirit of the songs he covers, with only one instrument, is insane.

[@juventianitem3314]

How about the string?

[@maximooze3196]

one thing I like about his style is he's not bombarding his arrangement with alot of "tapping", other players just kills the vibes with so much tap making the piece like a "jingle" 😂

[@philominachinmccauley3081]

💯

[@kaixin7440]

I listened to his videos before I sleep and it's comforting.

[@kunehodepio6581]

This is so far the MOST COMPLETE instrumentatal rendition of the song. Feeling every detail of the original track

[@fingerpickingood1900]

Check out kanaho222. Its wonderful

[@whitelion204]

@@fingerpickingood1900 With utmost respect to kanaho, Kent's arrangement is just on a whole another level.

[@mackymalinao1856]

I definitely agree 💯👍!

[@mackymalinao1856]

No one plays this original version of Beauty and the Beast way better than him.I kept coming back just to watch and hear this over and over again.

[@johnmartin1802]

Lots of people can play guitar, but few can make the instrument sing. What an amazing artist.

[@pamelasmith9916]

This so beautiful. My daughter has loved Beauty and the Beast ever since she was a little girl. She sent this to me, she would like to walk down the aisle with this version. I could not think of a more perfect song.

[@forthebirds4]

I wonder how the groom would feel about that? Beauty and the beast and all....lol

[@mattproctor4333]

OK,...I listened to this over and over,.....and I thought about my wonderful wife and cried my eyes out! Awesome!! Just totally awesome!!!

[@shairuno]

I could never imagine to hear the sounds like this created by one guitar. And the capo slides were so unique

[@JESSYEPRESLEY]

This is the most beautiful song played on guitar i've ever Heard in my life 🙏 bravo !

[@JohnnySyncs]

Whoever discovers Kent's channel will eventually watch his other video after video. Like i did. Man your so damn good. Please upload more covers.

So true

[@vincemusicph4423]

Kent is probably one of the most fingerstyle player who gotta verry smooth sound in all genre hes like a orchestra.. deserve millions subs..👍

[@joshlennon253]

Words fail me. What a beautiful arrangement! You are a guitar SAVANT! You just didn't do a single voice melody arrangement, it's a harmonised melody, just like the DUET version! You are a on higher level than the others I've seen. You are a GENIUS!!!!

[@sure.bol.999]

I noticed too that everytime the 2 singers sing at the same time, Kent plays 2 strings for the vocals part.

[@hayleycomet8029]

I've seen a lot of amazing guitar players. This is something different. I'm just, I can't I...I... I'm speechless, I actually teared up because it was such a beautiful display of musical genius!

[@sustainf]

Beyond Kent’s incredible playing, who else loves his guitar?

[@SahlaHDP]

This is one of the most beautiful acoustic cover compilation I ever heard. This song is beautiful alone and this guy made it even more pure. Imagine listening to this and in the end of it, you are alone in silence and seems like that moment won't change!

[@cometcal2]

Mesmerized by all the technique in such a simple song.

[@ricoreyes1818]

"Just Once" song I listened to a thousand times since 1981...Listening to Kent's acoustic version is coming close to that number!

[@jacksonholt4594]

THIS is what guitar playing truly is. It's been a long time since I've chocked up over a song, but this one got to me. Beautifully done.

[@Halcyon-12]

Beyond beautiful , tears where tripping down my face listening to this rendition -WOW!

[@kermitf9303]

There are no words to describe this talent. Kent ... please keep playing tunes that will be played for generations

[@kurumusik]

I know some masters of guitar finger style out there, but they're not enough to make me subscribe their channel until I found Ken's channel and whatched his videos... I already subscribed Ken's channel... Ken really know how to make good arrangement...

[@jjaammoo7777]

Am I the only one that thinks this guy is amazing? One of the best musicians of our time!

[@philominachinmccauley3081]

Me too!

[@peternemeth1777]

There's no doubt. He's a genius like Mozart.

[@briandenmark749]

this should be more than a million views. this is so far the best fingerstyle of this song.

[@johncostopoulos7741]

absolutely correct!!! Beautiful, sublime!!

[@guitarnation7420]

Absolutely BREATHTAKING! And that's an understatement. What an incredibly gifted young musician. Although as gifted a musician as Kent is, I guarantee you that he works his butt off! His technique is flawless and his musical ideas fresh and alive, and that comes with real WORK and attention to detail. He is such an inspiration to me. I've been a fingerstyle guitarist/teacher for 33+ years, but ALWAYS a student ready to learn something new and this young man does not disappoint. What a WEALTH of knowledge for anyone like myself interested in arranging for guitar. Oh and his unique ability to hear the bass, which is usually more difficult to hear than the melody, is incredible! Damn if he doesn't nail it every time. I could go on and on about this incredible guitarist. Learn as much as you can from him, because you won't get a better musical education. Looking forward to more. Peace.

[@pouterbuttercup9665]

You should do a reaction to his vids. Maybe some vids of you attempting some of his work. Would like to get a reaction from an actual fingerstyle player. Cheers

[@michaelgermain1702]

I thought Hendrix was good and he was but this guy ntakes it a notch higher. Absolute mastery of an instrument and makes it look so easy

[@simplestrum]

Aside from the exceptional playing, as everyone already commented, I like to add that your use of dynamics is equally superb. You know when to build up a moment, then play softly and delicately to resolute, then build up to another moment again. Great manipulation of feelings.

[@SahlaHDP]

This is one of the most beautiful things I hear in my life.... As a musician, I just lost myself in the ambient voyage that the sound introduced me...

[@peted4ddy]

This version has so much soul, with the arrangement expressing the heart of the song, and the tone is beautiful !

[@CreativeCommunicationTouch]

Kent, you bring SOUL much HEART to this World! Thank you for spreading your love energy to all! :-)

[@jduub10]

This takes me back to when I use to watch this movie with my babies. Great memories and your version really tugs the heart strings. You bring joy to the world and honor to your entire family Kent. Thank you

[@williamromine6277]

Smooth!!!!! I have been playing for 43 years and you are one of the most musical players I have ever heard Well done

[@jelopezmusic]

This is just beautiful

[@ricoreyes1818]

Kent has this uncanny talent to render an already beautiful song into a guitar piece that is so much more interesting and so "peacefully calm and transcendental".

[@jay-adalisay8984]

I like how he shares how to play his arrangements. Thanks for sharing your talent and passion Kent!

[@placid2151]

Great arrangement. You get the true effects of your music when you listen with headphones or speakers. The sound of the bass strings and the treble is absolutely well in sync . Keep up the good work. I'll pay to watch you play live

[@philominachinmccauley3081]

If you live in the US, George Lowden Guitars has invited Kent to perform at the 2023 Namm Show the runs from April 13-15 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
