Guitar player here for 60 years. One of the most beautiful things I’ve EVER heard! Well done!

So true. Low budget entertainment by anyone without need of expensive equipment. But, as usual. Greed of people and rich, came in with their mom and dad's accounts buying 5k USD cameras and backdrops building studios and using high end software to show a phone or anything .....millions of subs. But monetizing works for them so why not? I'm not just a hater. I suck as a KZbinr too. LMAO This young man Kicks Ass

[@jamiebusch9406]

Speechless... just amazing. I've been listening to this song since it came out in 1973... Young Mr. Nishimura apparently wasn't born until 2003, and didn't have a guitar to play until 2008.. He did not waste his Time... I bet he has put in thousands and thousands of hours of practice ... and now has shared this timeless masterpiece that he has mastered and made his own.. Simply outstanding, Mr. Nishimura..... thank you.

[@bobpurcell8357]

Beethoven once referred to the guitar as "the little orchestra," which is certainly possible in the right hands...and he definitely possesses those. One of the best listeners/players I've ever seen.

@Asao Kinoshita I couldn't agree with you more! I have a family full of musicians and one member is a classically trained pianist. My only issue with their playing is they refuse to let go and just play! You know? They could be so much better and greater than they are but they're afraid to let loose. Ken does not have this problem. I'm a latina female sax player, I have no issues letting loose. Now if the police would just let me be, I'll be off the table and out of Olive Garden in a jiffy!
