[@skyhighvenus6311]

His arrangements are different from most fingerstyle guitarist. Nothing flashy. Not overdoing it with all the slaps and show. He simply takes a song, breaks it down in all it elements, and transfers it to the acoustic guitar. He pays attention to the littlest detail which makes the song sound full and easy to listen to. Such a fantastic guitarist and arranger. Definitely one of the best imo.

[@suprchickn7745]

Better than I could say it but I agree with every word!

[@tekatoanimeyt3206]

It's like the original song in its acoustic version..

[@refacingleads]

Agreed ! very cool , love it :)

[@chrisschmitt3860]

Totally agree. No flash....all cash.

[@FrancisSiuChock]

So bang on! You can tell he's not flashy, really giving you as true to form what the original song sounds like. I really appreciate that!

[@duanemontes2277]

I've been playing guitar since I was 11. I'm 24 now. Stopped playing 2 years ago from a car accident. Broke my wrist & popped my right collar bone. This motivated me to play again!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏

[@bobwallace7487]

It’s not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get back up. God bless your heart.

[@whoaaanelly65]

I had a similar experience learning to start playing at 10 and then breaking my wrist at 12. Took two years and two surgeries to recover and sent me on a very long hiatus even wanting to ever play again. I finally took up playing again at 24. I'm 64 now and play decent-like, but I waited too long. IMHO. All I can say is this... if it's your passion, keep at it. It was hard to return after 12 years.

[@maxi_68]

Prince would be very proud to listen to this masterful Purple rain rendition. Congrats mate, you are incredibly talented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stoojinator]

Unfortunately once he heard it, he would have instructed it to be taken down. Prince was notorious for shutting down people posting covers of his music. He didn't like it at all. I miss him dearly, but I am glad we can enjoy other people playing his music too.

[@gregthompson9434]

You took the words right out of my mouth , prince would be proud 👍🏻

[@Ryan-xn3mt]

While this is insanely amazing. Prince was not sharing when it came to his music

[@Msapere]

What people forget is that Prince evolved with the times....he would have been ok with this. Let's not keep his spirit stuck in the times....that is not who prince was

[@poohmatsuoka5525]

You're right. Even if it's an well-known story about Prince that he was notorious for shutting down people posting covers of his music, he would be very proud when Prince could listen to this cover by Kent with his original arrangement. Because, as many of Andy McKee fans, Prince contacted to Andy to invite him to Prince's home studio and then Andy finally joined Prince's tour in Australia in 2012, four years before Prince passed away. According to Andy, he played his compositions before Prince's eyes and he had a very fun time together at Prince's place, as Prince was very kind and friendly. So, I'm sure that Prince must be proud of Kent's performance on this cover and his taste on his original arrangement for fingerstyle solo guitar.

[@klaxoncow]

This arrangement is pure genius. Getting the melody, rhythm and percussion all from one instrument simultaneously - essentially playing three parts at the same time - and absolutely nailing the spirit of the song so well is deserving of high praise. I'm trying to watch your fingers to even understand how you're doing it, and it just looks like magic, as I can hear lines that I can't directly see you playing. I also loved that you even captured the singing harmonies at 1:57-ish. Oh, that was just perfect and got me smiling. :D

[@matthammond1737]

No frenetic tapping. No excessive harmonic slaps. Just a nice, steady, understated groove that captures the essence of the song. The best fingerstyle guitarist I have heard.

[@addisonperez1550]

better than John Mayer in different levels.

What a great recommend by the YT algorithm. I just got blown away. I'm not blown away by the complexity, or the absolute perfection of his playing. I'm blown away by the feeling. Kent has SOUL. He didn't play Purple Rain, he felt it...and he made me feel it too. Having talent is one thing...and there's tons of talent in the guitar world. Kent has that by the bucket loads, but he's got soul. You can't teach soul. Well done Kent, I hope to hear more soul from you soon.

This is beautiful having said that I am so over the competition mentality of both players and listeners . Music is an art form not a competition.

[@RadioJustin]

The voicing choices you make are incredible. It's just raw talent... it's impressive to anyone who enjoys music, and awe-inspiring for any musicians who KNOW just how difficult it is to rearrange a song entirely like this. From the ground up, you've captured all parts... and Prince would most definitely be smiling from ear to ear. Well done, sir.

[@connyberg5665]

But this song actually isn't rearranged, nor does it have his own voicings. It's all like the original, from beginning to end. Not saying it's not amazing though.

[@connyberg5665]

Or maybe you mean rearranged in like, deciding how to play it finger style?

[@RadioJustin]

@@connyberg5665 - no, I meant voicings. Sure the progression of the song, and the melody lines and harmonies and such are the same, but how he chooses to capture the chords, where he applies structured chords versus his lead lines... i.e. how he chooses to layer the song together with the ONE instrument he's playing - that's voicing. And are you arguing that he didn't have to 'rearrange' anything to play this song? We're talking about arranging a full band song of multiple instruments down to just this gentleman's guitar. So we can agree to disagree if you semantically think you're right, but at least the both of us can agree that it's amazing.

[@connyberg5665]

@@RadioJustin I see, I get what you mean now

[@J3unG]

The thing I like about Kent is no matter what he does, everything just 'swings'. There's no difference in his fretting, plucking or strumming a string than a human voice. It's truly profound. This man has a deep singing tone in his playing always. It's magic and something unique.

[@fredjohnson2360]

I thought I knew how to play the guitar, 20+yrs and well now when I look at my acoustic I can almost hear it laughing at me and how I have no idea what I'm doing.

Just discovered this young genius. Not a musician so can't contribute anything intelligent to the discussion about technique, but there is so much beauty and emotion in this that it brings me to tears. And I love that he is so into it!

[@mattwarwick8135]

First impression? Back in the 80's and 90's we had tons of guys who had technique but never "got" it. Learn mechanics of song, break it down, replicate. Here we have a young man who loves the song. We start with that and go from there. The technique is sublime. This is a joy to listen to.

[@poohmatsuoka5525]

ケントくんのKZbinチャンネルにおいて初めて同じ曲を再度アップしたプリンスの「Purple Rain」のカヴァー。ニュー・アレンジ（再アレンジ）し直して、という程の大きな変化は無いように（特に2019年11月にアップされた旧ヴァージョンをお聴き馴染みの方は）思われるかも知れません。 使用ギターが異なる事でのギター・サウンドの違いといったモノ以外に、例えば「2分23秒」辺りから僅か３秒ほどの「プリンスのスクリーミング・ヴォーカル」パート（「Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing」という歌詞のところ）が今回は追加されているなど、より細部にわたって「行き届いたアレンジ」が施されています。本当に驚くべき事です。 そんなにも繊細で、しかも更なるパワーを秘めたプレイが可能になった今のケントくんにとって、旧ヴァージョンは究極の「最終形」とは思えなくなったのかも知れません。今回のヴァージョンを「どうしても公開したくなった」というアーティストとしての欲求に抗えなくなったのではないでしょうか。そうだとしたら、今回の事もまた彼の成長ぶりを如実に示す事柄としてケント・ファンとしては記憶に留めておきたいですね（笑）。

Kent is different to any fingerstyle guitarist I have ever heard. But also comments about him are special because they come from many people that have a thorough understanding about music.

[@mailnellys]

I've got to admit that I love these instrumental covers. Naudo, Tommy Emmanuel, PedroJavier, John Jorgson, Alexander Misko and Kent Nishimura have brought alive these classic hits to a generation lost in EDM, Pop culture, DJ and electronic music. What these musicians do with 6 strings, 21 frets and 10 fingers is so much more enjoyable and soulful than new age synthetic music. Love it simple, love it plain, love it when it's from the heart.

I always wanted to be a guitar player. I began to "try to learn to play guitar" as a child but unfortunately because I was born 2 months early my bones didn't develop properly and I was unable to do anything on the neck with my left or my right hand.. so I tried bass guitar and experienced exact same results.. from there I tried the piano and even today I still can't open or spread my fingers wide enough to play piano and can't even reach an octive. So I became a drummer. But unlike many drummers I can't even twirl my sticks because I can't move my fingers to twirl them... other than these setbacks, I'm a good composer as long as I chart the music I compose and then find musicians who can actually read music.
