[@jaimslaw]

Mind blown. DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW WHAT kind of genius is involved in this arrangement?

[@celestecatcurren1089]

I can see and hear, yes! Amazing, so delightful, impressive. ❤😊

[@darrelltiencken9421]

Really fantastic.

[@Incognito-vc9wj]

God

[@uba2]

when a cover makes you truly appreciate a song for the first time...

[@margiesplace259]

I was not expecting a full on Orchestra from an acoustic guitar. Oh my gosh what the heck this is genius playing at its best! 🎶❤️👍

[@gbh5912]

If you haven't heard his interpretation of 25/6/4 then you ,,,, must!!! Unlike anything I could have imagined

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Yes, the arrangements and playing 4 parts simultaneously is amazing but the level of precision, timing and perfection in his playing blows me away. And I've been playing guitar for 40 years....

[@raymond7451]

Im with you , have sat watching him for a few months going .What the hell have I been doing . He is truly Mozart on guitar

[@michaelgorman6214]

I've not been playing. I've been fucking around for 30.

[@localcrew]

It’s so cool that you played it from the mildly obscure intro all the way to the warbling trombone outro. No corners cut. All voices heard. My kind of arrangement. 👍

[@jimmyddddd]

“Mildly obscure intro” ha ha.

[@iroulis]

It normally gets cut on the broadcast radio edit?

[@one0nine]

My man, this has rocketed straight past "amazing" straight into "OH COME ON" Chicago's musical arrangements sometimes border on trigonometry, they're so complex - and here you've gone and laid them ALL down, in one take, on one guitar, all at once. Seriously - this is almost inhumanly good.

[@marinoderienzo3176]

This is divine spirit possessed.

[@ptick16]

Great comment. Had me cracking up!

[@benjamindoverr3455]

I can't believe what I just saw and heard. There is a LOT going on in this song, and he captured it all, brilliantly. That was simply amazing.

[@scottkeller8890]

This is one of the most amazing fingerstyle versions of any song Ive ever seen. Kent you are a true virtuoso.

[@TommyTheMooch]

Your discipline and commitment to these arrangements is unmatched.

[@spaceman1981]

Just when I think this kid cannot get any better, he lays down something like this.

[@user-uj4ru1xo3s]

ダブルハーモニクス～ダブルタッピングのイントロには息を呑みました シャッフルのグルーヴィーな本編ももちろん最高です ギターという楽器のの表現力ってここまですごいものなんですね

[@Ben-311]

I believe I have just witnessed humanity's peak in the finger style acoustic guitar division.

[@HarryP457]

There are good guitar players, there are great guitar players... then there's Kent. You sir, are amazing.

[@guitarnuccio]

I’m a big fan of Chicago’s early stuff and a guitarist, and I can’t even begin to understand how you can play all of this on a guitar. Incredible arrangement, wonderfully executed!!!

[@keithal1478]

Shocking skill and creativity.

[@mattf5462]

Magician Level. I'm speechless.

[@G8rfan61]

"Magician level"?!? I'm quite certain he's has passed the Deity Level.😉

[@kentharris3878]

Once again, Kent, you capture the heart of the music. Chicago came on the scene as a Jazz rooted rock band. This is one of those songs that demonstrates their totally unique style and innovative writing and chord choices. You have somehow managed to showcase the sound and feel of the entire band in your two hands with that beautiful guitar (which I absolutely love). I have now listened to this 3 times and plan to listen more to catch all of the incredible nuances you accent in this brilliant offering. Thank you so much for your attention to detail and to the 'soul' of the music.

[@tammyginn4313]

Amen!

[@jordandausilio5763]

Nobody plays guitar like you nobody on the planet. It’s absolutely spectacular.

[@EVERBLACKNYC]

Any song by Chicago isn't an easy feat for one person to replicate on a guitar. This is astonishing. Well done yet again!

[@BangtheChainsmofo]

even recreating just their guitar part on a guitar is hard, let alone the rest of the band. Dude is an Alien! So amazing

[@mattwood7765]

Metronome perfection but even more impressive is the touch, the groove, and the soul.

[@Samscoinsandheavymetal]

So fu***kn good .. I don’t know which part I like best the relentless constant ringing of all 6 strings, the walking bass line. The perfectly timed snare hits on 2&4, the perfect ride and fall in volume at the perfect spots, or the incredibly in the pocket fills I can watch this in repeat all day and like it more and more each time I hear it

[@jimoffutt9156]

Nicely worded review 👌

[@chriss2295]

THIS. Has to be one of the most complicated compositions/translation he has ever done. Wow.

[@charliegigante9672]

Kent! Kent! Kent! Kent! One more time..... WOW!!! You are the best!

[@fearitselfpinball8912]

I love this kid. He’s bringing back guitar (unlikely) and-along for the ride-every neglected good thing that ever happened in music.

[@2ManyGuitars214]

Oh, sure, Kent, you might be able to play the melody, the horn riffs, the backing vocals, walk the bass line, play the fills and the percussion perfectly all at the same time, but....what? No spoken dialogue on the third verse? Ha! Kidding aside, your talent makes my head spin. And you're what,,,18, 19? What a gift.

[@robert.brokaw3829]

Perfect. for a man so young you know how to bring back memories from my past (I'm 67). Thank you and stay safe.

[@algrand52]

This is insane! How? I mean, how? This is another level of virtuosity. Damn, man. I'm out of words.

[@JimNichols]

I listen to your playing and think of all the time I have spent listening to Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Tommy Emmanuel and all the great guitar players of the time and think they should come and lay their guitars at your feet. Because you are a god of composure and talent.

[@Ojisan642]

Wow. Just…. Wow. Another absolute banger of an arrangement, the full orchestration of Chicago. Outstanding!

[@donharger2309]

The most amazing thing I've ever seen. A genius.... Wow

[@G8rfan61]

Are you certain? Because I can unwrap and eat a Hershey's Kiss in under a minute!!

[@maxcactus7]

Every video you post, Kent, I think to myself "Utterly amazing. He can never top this!" and every video you prove me wrong! Brilliance and beauty combined, your choices in the pieces you select are only equaled by your exceptional execution. Wonderful, THANK YOU!!

[@GASPASR]

Only one time did I click on a video and listened to your magic thru my phone speakers. Now grabbing my headphones to listen to a video of yours is instinct. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@MattyK-USA]

I am simply glad that Kent Nishimura's channel is in my life, to make it better. That's pretty much it.

[@dking5454]

... any idea how difficult it is to play a song COMPLETELY? listen how Kent plays the complete horn-track, with the rhythm-track, all on top of the complete bass-track - no basic chords, and occasional bottom notes, while concentrating on the melody... he completely carried each level of a 7-man band!!!

[@serasmile6026]

I could not click fast enough. Kent you are truly phenomenal. What an absolutely amazing cover. Thank you thank you.

[@captvid56]

Does anyone really know what time it is? I do. It’s time for me to start practicing my guitar more! Kent you are inspirational.

[@alexandertzortzakis9984]

One of my favorite uploads thanks Kent!!!! Does anyone really Know what time it is? NO!

[@stony2494]

Unbelievable, as this kid captures every note and nuance including that final trombone riff and ending drum roll. I’m blown away 😎👍♥️

[@serasmile6026]

This arrangement gets better the more you listen😍🥰

[@roentgen822]

best acoustic cover of this song online. imagine if he did another arrangement of this song without the melody and someone sang the melody instead. i would literally faint lol

[@boscogong4242]

Does anybody really know why Kent isn't included in the Rolling Stone magazine's Top 250 Guitarist of all time? Perhaps, he will be in the Top 250 bands of all time.😁

[@Ghostdogsurvivalist]

Happy Friday. Thank you. Pure enjoyment.

[@michaelatwater4725]

everybody enjoys the finished product and may not realize the mind blowing work you go through to produce it. Many of us do, personally I am impressed!!

[@yasumino4395]

ケントの音が好き。 毎回楽しみにしてます。

[@Takichi-Takezo]

素晴らしい！それ以外の言葉がみつからない！

[@petrplasek]

The greatest of all!

[@jdv88888888]

Stage Manager: Is Kent’s band ready to play their Chicago number? Stage Hand: Yes sir. SM: Guitarists? SH: Check. SM: Horns? SH: Check. SM: Drummer? Vocalists? Keyboard? SH: Check, check and check. SM: But Kent’s the only one on stage! SH: Check…..

[@syazrain4656]

You're not supposed to live on this planet Kent.... Too good to be true....

[@wayneb50]

WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING HERE? HOLY COW!!! This young man is a musical genius ❤❤❤

[@EricLeePiano]

I was just listening to your God Only Knows cover and you just uploaded a few minutes ago. I saw this video suggested and thought "wait I haven't seen this one before..." turns out you just uploaded. What a perfect timing! I could listen to you all day...

[@pistolpete9937]

Fire. You are a black belt 10th Dan on the guitar Sir.

[@frankcalderajr3731]

This is my favorite song and I never thought I would hear one person play this on the guitar and it give it justice. Oh my...how wrong I was!! This was beautiful arranged and played!! You truly are a great guitar player!! I just wonder what other great songs you have in store for us to hear!!

[@petermcmahon15]

I’m no musician but surely it doesn’t get better than this 👍

[@switcheroo1759]

Geez man .not really sure what to say here. Amazing how you elicit so much emotion from just a guitar 😮

[@anikiace2253]

yes. great way to start a wkend.

[@poetink]

Sir, I tip my hat to you. That had to be the most amazing rendition of that song played solo I've ever heard.

[@marty9464]

Awesome............

[@marillion4th393]

This is mad crazy good... hands down this guy is at a level of his own! 👏👏👏

[@ThePerro]

I literally gasped when I saw this in my feed. Always amazed at what songs you make possible in fingerstyle arrangements!

[@rrrrrrlegaspi]

You and your talent wipe away all the negative posts out there. Keep inspiring!!!

[@brootal4234]

It’s amazing how you get so many melodic details in there

[@blazerbarrel2]

This guy keeps getting better every day ! A true artist and craftsman ! Listen !

[@blazerbarrel2]

To add , listen to that guitar sing !

[@BritM]

I can’t stop listening to this. Better than the original

[@Paul-cm7ie]

Wow, what a wonderful thing to hear waking up this Sunday morning. Incredible talent

[@videosforthegoodlife2253]

Just. Unreal.

[@michaelz6555]

Again, Chicago is hard enough to play with all the instruments. Well done.

[@assaokinoshita3820]

As usual, lead, solo, bass, percussion all perfect.

[@chrisprimavera7607]

Lead, RHYTHM, solo, bass, percussion. I can't wrap my mind around what he is doing.

[@assaokinoshita3820]

@@chrisprimavera7607 Sure, Kent has softer in his brain and chips in his hands.

[@Bebeshiito]

I am positive one day Ken's name will be featured in an official list of the best guitar players since the the invention of the lute. It is ineffable to see music history unfolding before your eyes.

[@pouterbuttercup9665]

I believe any artists that have a hit song from any year would benefit highly by having Kent Nishimura compose and arrange an acoustic version of their songs.

[@scoobybass9105]

This is great. What a way to start Friday night.

[@scottc3549]

OHHHHHHHHHHH HELLLL YEAH BROOOOOOOOOO

[@bartvangorcum7445]

A complete band arrangement on a guitar! Well done. Close to the original!

[@victorwong9622]

AMAZING job on a wonderful song. I just listened to CTA’s version last night so it’s fresh in my mind, you nailed it, and with FEELING!!!

[@stelladrums]

Such Beauty and Grace coming from this Man's Hands. Incredible, a one man Band.

[@fingerstalking]

Absolutely. Brilliant.

[@Trev9]

Your mind muscle connection is phenomenal

[@infinitegaming1015]

Wow. Just wow

[@curtism7409]

Wow! I'm completely blown away AGAIN! Excellent!

[@terryhayward7905]

Absolutely perfect one of my all time favourite Chicago songs. I have just finished watching every video that Kent has on you tube, now I guess I will just have to start at the top again. I would love to hear some more jazz pieces from Kent, And more Steely Dan please.

[@niku30504]

凄い！　最高！

[@meekguitars]

You need to be in a museum

[@Mrbanshi]

[@solosyd]

Sensational... From start to finish.

[@tonymiranda7319]

Es totalmente increible. Es una copia fiel de la canción original. Dios te regaló ese don. Bendiciones

[@Josephmarten]

Wow! Just insanely amazing as always! You’re really a masterful virtuoso! You cover the most whole band work with the vocal part but still show a calm and easy performing. Once I saw this video reminder popped up, I clicked it right away! Thank you for giving me a great start of the morning.

[@AlanCath]

Haha now I have to think of something else to say in my comment.
