Morris FingerPicking Day 2017 - KENT NISHIMURA

[@allen6924]

At fourteen he was miles ahead of most young guitar stylist, but still refining his approach and techniques to finger style. At sixteen two years later. He's a beast. Doesn't overplay and extracts the very essence of the songs he covers with jaw dropping abilities to play guitar. Self taught too. That's when I knew there was a god because nobody should have ears that good and ability to play what you hear effortlessly it appears. If you ever tour the USA I'm getting orchestra seats.

[@AdiHazan26]

such a mature performance. like the music as well

[@benclaase8181]

Speechless.

[@김쌀현]

palming and picking at the same time is quite difficult. he is a good one.

[@Jeorge_Supero]

No it's not quite difficult. This technique is not just commonly used because people often don't do it and Because they think it is hard.

[@BradEnquist]

@@Jeorge_Supero please give me a list of people that commonly do that.

[@wasiqurrahman1717]

@@BradEnquist yes very few people use that palm technique to produce the drum sound. But, it's not actually hard once you practice it enough, say 2-3 months, you'll master that technique. Sure it's hard af - almost seems impossible at the beginning, but if you do it extremely slowly, you'll get the feel for it real quick!

近年の大会では一番の才能だと思います

[@qppain_killer44]

3 years ago And now he is very good

[@tropicalstorm339]

He was very good then. He is one of the best now.... maybe the best.

[@fingerstyle9165]

@@tropicalstorm339 now he is a monster of fingerstyle music

[@piripo2166]

音がとにかくきれいです。ここは技術がうまくなっても直しにくい部分なので才能としか言いようがありません。

[@moyyuan]

1:09 how is it even possible that pinky... this one part is extremely difficult to me.

[@returned_to_monke8872]

don't even start bro. Kent Nishimura's arrangements are insane. His finger flexibility and mobility is insane as well. Good luck playing his arrangements if you don't have long as fuck fingers like him. I tried playing all of his arrangements and there was at least 1 if not 3 or more extremely weird finger positions that require long & flexible fingers and wide hands like him.

[@dixyxid]

sounds like a 2000s pop song

[@DigitalLoom]

man when 1:33 hit

[@returned_to_monke8872]

yeah that hit hard...

[@akibeeheater1231]

ん、ああ！

[@Jeorge_Supero]

[@jossenphilipjumawan2892]

What is the title of the song?

[@asta_6832]

Desert island, it’s one of Kent’s originals

[@percival743]

Reminds me of tommy emmanuel as a kid
