best guitarist so far in my lifetime.... no one catches the charakter of a song with so many layers at the same time simultanously, perfectly corresponding to each other, without sounding stressed, overdriven or unclean... he seems so relaxed while using six braines same time👍👍👍 cant imagine how he will perform in twenty or so years... thanks kent

[@moonootoo]

agree 100% we are seeing a future legend in his youth

[@ricardosegawa2714]

I think Kent is the best pop rock arranger and guitar player of all times. His transcriptions are fantastic and you can almost hear the singers singing it!😮

[@allennewborn936]

Kent sings better with his guitar vocals than a lot of other singers do with their voice. l can definitely hear Phil Collins singing. I swear I can.

[@cho4d]

i keep telling people this... he is the goat

[@ralphclark]

Yes I had the same experience listening to him play Pink Floyd’s “Time” and “Comfortably Numb”. I’ve heard others do great acoustic guitar arrangements of songs before but very few can nail the whole feel of the original like this guy can. It really does evoke the vocal performance on the original song and I’m sure that is this guys unique skill.

[@mariogonzalez3630]

Support your motion easily

[@hanburgundy4317]

The capo slide was nuts.

[@CristianoCang]

/me clicks on it instantly

[@wicklunda]

Oh drop everything; Kent posted again!

[@jimoffutt9156]

YES

[@fransb8543]

There are a lot of talented guitarists on youtube but you are in a league of your own

[@jimyoung9262]

I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Professionally for most of that time. This is some of the best playing I've ever seen or heard.

[@Lavadx]

@@jimyoung9262 agreed, and same here. This young man is on another level that I truly appreciate, but can’t even begin to comprehend how he does it…

[@youtubeaccount9058]

Plus besides being perfect and/or difficult, it's music. It's nice to listen to. Sometimes that doesn't happen when somebody is just trying to be impressive.

[@juantimer]

@@youtubeaccount9058 This is the kent sauce ... he gets the feel and the groove so right, you can listen over and over. For me, more often than the originals!

[@dannycampbell6342]

That capo move was insane, you’re on another level man!

[@shaunkellison1761]

MF has a rolling capo… 🎯

[@tedcole9936]

… which is both hilarious and genius. Executed with precision at lightning speed - what’s new?

[@modestben]

The key change is so cool

[@HaroldWong]

Not the first time he's done that if you watch his other vids. Still that's a combo of gear and skill.

[@robertcabansag5222]

30 seconds in and already excited when I see the roller capo.

[@davidzack8875]

His arrangements are so subtle and brilliant, it is hard to believe that they aren’t the originals.

[@lmb4876]

He’s a genius…no comparison

[@roior]

The Atomic Kent ⏰ precision 👏

[@SENSEOFLIBERTY]

One more time. The Grandmaster of arrangement. Kent on guitar is like a Witcher in fights against the monsters. Absolute genius.

[@hanneleinonen669]

🥰👌

[@adamwuksta3255]

Running bass, chord inversions and melody…. Brilliantly arranged and not overdone so as to keep the melody constantly coming through, very impressive Kent… you are an inspirational player and more importantly a joy to listen to and watch perform.

[@digitalimager4946]

Wow. Never seen anyone introduce a key change like that before 😳🤗

[@alexanderminas28]

That was the smoothest Capo slide ever..

[@bassandtrebleclef]

Kent's precision is truly remarkable.

[@yas1108]

はじめにローリングカポ見たところから 2:41 待ちでした！

[@hyperboreal]

That key change at 2:44 was SO smooth.

[@j-mad]

Yeah, that capo shift was something.

[@shaunkellison1761]

This is the only guitar channel that exists that only plays guitar… But has me singing along with it the entire time. 10\10 Achievement Unlocked.

[@fabiocasale586]

I won't repeat myself about his skill and artistic choice so as not to seem monotonous

[@r.schumacher]

As impossible as 'man in the mirror'. Keep up the great work. A pleasure to listen to. And the signature capo-move!

[@modestben]

The key change is so cool

[@saganogasa]

We can soon image Phil Collins singing through your playing ! I wonder how you can create a sense of groove with a guitar . Amazing 👍👍

[@KennethWedin]

スゲーなぁ、この若者！My father used to say I was a 12-year-old trapped in an old man’s body because I liked Big Band swing jazz in the mid 1970s before I moved on to Soul, Funk, R&B, and especially Quiet Storm by the early ’80s, despite the absence of many albums in Canada, which lacked any Black community outside of Toronto on the other side of the country. When I arrived in Japan in 1986 after having studied Japanese at university, I felt as though I’d finally arrived at home, where I always belonged. I was constantly told I was more Japanese than the Japanese themselves right up until I eventually returned to Canada in 2002. The only reason I mention any of this is that I feel Kento has likewise been reincarnated from a former life in my era and culture. Look at his play list, which represents my tastes as someone born in 1965, not even including the various white performers, each of whom I also like but haven’t listed: “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” - 1967 (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell), “What a Wonderful World” - 1967 (Louis Armstrong), “I Say a Little Prayer for You” - 1967 (Aretha Franklin) / 1968 (Dionne Warwick), “My Cherie Amour” - 1969 (Stevie Wonder), “Ain’t No Sunshine” - 1971 (Bill Withers), “Lean on Me” - 1972 (Bill Withers), “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” - 1973 (Stevie Wonder), “Higher Ground” - 1973 (Stevie Wonder), “Feel Like Makin’ Love” - 1974 (Roberta Flack), “This Masquerade” - 1976 (George Benson), “Isn’t She Lovely” - 1976 (Stevie Wonder), “Takin’ It to the Streets” - 1976 (The Doobie Brothers), “Living Inside Your Love” - 1976 (Earl Klugh), “Sir Duke” - 1977 (Stevie Wonder), “Fantasy” - 1977 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “September” - 1978 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “What a Fool Believes” - 1978 (The Doobie Brothers), “Rock with You” - 1979 (Michael Jackson), “I Can’t Help It” - 1979 (Michael Jackson), “After the Love Has Gone” - 1979 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “Just the Two of Us” - 1981 (Grover Washington Jr. featuring Bill Withers), “Just Once” - 1981 (James Ingram), “1999” - 1982 (Prince), “Thriller” - 1982 (Michael Jackson), “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)” - 1982 (Michael McDonald), “Human Nature” - 1983 (Michael Jackson), “In Your Eyes” - 1983 (George Benson), “Through the Fire” - 1984 (Chaka Khan), “Hello” - 1984 (Lionel Richie), “Purple Rain” - 1984 (Prince and The Revolution), “Easy Lover” - 1984 (Philip Bailey & Phil Collins), “What’s Love Got to Do with It” - 1984 (Tina Turner), “Sweet Love” - 1986 (Anita Baker), “Man in the Mirror” - 1988 (Michael Jackson), etc. My only disappointment is that “In Your Eyes” was Peter Gabriel’s very worthy song rather than George Benson (and I think Earl Klugh)’s even better song. I’d can already fully imagine his renditions of Luther Vandross’s “Can Heaven Wait” and Jeffrey Osborne’s “Stay with Me Tonight.” It would be interesting if he could fully develop Southern All Stars’ “真夏の果実,” which he might find too simple but appeals to the age group that loves the kind of music he plays. I encourage everyone to subscribe to his iTunes channel in addition to this KZbin channel.

Invisible Touch - Genesis Top song 1980

[@keithal1478]

Genius cover Seamless fluidity

[@jaikumarvenkatchari3838]

Immaculate. I'm just loving how his left hand is developing more and more octopus like characteristics ❤🎉. The confidence and fluidity is dazzling.

[@NorCalPhil]

I was wondering how he was going to handle the key change at the end. That capo slide up move was incredible.

[@davideseganti]

That left pinky is doing a great job!

[@yaisupermoto4691]

👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@CoachAdamRuns]

You are a treasure to the world. God bless you.

[@てたんぬ]

実際にすぐ隣で弾いている演奏を聞いたとしても心地良く聞けるだろう。とても抑制された素晴らしいアレンジと演奏だから。

[@nateanderson8041]

I hit like within 2 seconds and Im already subscribed... Feels like I should have some other buttons to click for the other 3 and a half minutes while im rockin out

[@soulofhawk1742]

Don't ever stop!! Thank You, Your playing has become therapeutic for me, and others im sure!! Excellent.

[@philominachinmccauley3081]

Same for me.

[@juleswins3]

Slick key change!😁

[@Bobykotik]

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. The song, In Too Deep, is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight, Land of Confusion, and Against All Odds. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.

[@Kanendd]

Lmao.

[@ameliobarkho]

He captures the voice so well in his compositions. The man is a legend!

[@heckensteiner4713]

Another banger and near-impossible arrangement from the legendary Kent Nishimura! That capo slide during the key change was insane!

[@joshmayich7959]

i have watched a few times and im still gobsmacked. next level.

[@fingerstyle9165]

goat

[@snacklofter]

2:30 Love the key change in a few seconds time! 👍👍

[@gibletsify]

Unbelievable. Again.

[@StoBird88]

Oh yeah! THAT song!

[@adrianfox9431]

fantastic - would never thought of that track translating well to a guitar solo.

[@sparrowhawk3894]

Kent, a treasure in our time. I hope the world appreciates his genius. As always nice work and thank you Kent.

[@debmurray2734]

Love how you capture that bass riff in between the vocal phrases in the chorus.

[@anzgabriel]

Kent, you are the best among the best.

[@hoferlchg]

Impressionante como quase podemos ouvir Phil Collins cantando através dos dedos de Kent...que maravilha!

[@micahmartin4762]

The depth of your arrangements are brilliant - captures the original song so well.

[@Lavadx]

Amazing as always Mr. Nishimura, thank you as always for sharing with us lower guitar playing life forms! 😂

[@wicklunda]

Another awesome capo slide!

[@tinkeringinthailand8147]

A year or so ago I twisted the middle finger on my left hand and tore the ligament (power drill). I have not been able to hold a D chord (using my middle finger, which allows for the pinky to hold and hammer the E string) for over 9 months, and I really thought that was it for my amateur guitaring as the D chord is paramount. The good news is, after a lot of physio and stretching, I am finally able to hold a D chord (Fore, middle, ring) without too much pain 😁😁 Love the work, keep it coming

[@glidgebidge1029]

i had a friend, he studied guitar... he ripped his pinky nearly completely apart of his left hand, he flew a ticket inpector and got hooked with his pinky to the handrailconnector at the wall whilst running downstairs... he thought thats it, he quitted studying... five years later or so, after his hand was healed but never restored mechanically, and after he had beaten his depressions, he discovered that his already longfingered lefthand was able now to cover the entire fretboard up even beyond the 12th fret... he will never have the ability again to play like before his accident regarding speed and movement, but he is able now to play chords that are impossible to play for everyone else...

[@robert.brokaw3829]

You are amazing young man. Your soul runs so deep. Love your music - stay safe.

[@ゆうき-j1o]

KZbinの演奏もすっごく良いけど、是非一度ライブを見に行きたい！

That capo position-switch might be the most flawless thing we'll see this year!

[@brendanmarchal]

You're part of the FIngerstyle Holly Trinty with Tommy of course, and your style here make me think of Eric Roche and his "Jump" cover back in the days. Bravo Kent !

[@geetjuhhisdebeste]
