Steely Dan - Dirty Work - Solo Acoustic Guitar (Kent Nishimura)

[@DublinIsrael]

Kent Nishimura is a superb guitar player, but I am most impressed with his ability to arrange songs for the guitar. Every important aspect of every song comes through clearly. Can't get enough!

[@bjrntorearstein6347]

Steely Dan still is one of The world`s Greatest Musical References. Kent does them full justice..😈👍

[@DreamsongsProductions]

Not only is Kent a great player but he has great taste in music too. Awesome as usual!

[@Gruuvin1]

He also grooves! HARD!

[@timothywanjohi5248]

i will buy this kn-se guitar. too good

[@ramonitbelascuain8611]

More Steely Dan songs Kent. You're awesome😊

[@musicflyman]

前回の大阪のライブ最高でした！　あの古いビル　昔にパームスというディスコとカフェバーがあり、大阪アメリカ村の発祥の地なんですよ　よく通ったあのビルでケントさんのライブが聴けたのはとても嬉しかったです。今回は海外録音のようでロケーションもいいですね　毎回楽しみにしています。

[@johnlux6905]

Great pocket!

[@Bluebird-wj4nj]

My god the tone on your guitar is mind-blowing. That beautiful intro almost brought me to tears! I SO love that you understand the complexity of Steely Dan songs. Besides being a guitar ninja . . you have superb taste in music. You make Steely Dan aficionados very happy and amazed! You have a beautiful mind and an other worldly talent. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@BobuSama]

Even though I've heard this a million times by now, it's still great to hear it once more officially on your KZbin channel. Such a great arrangement! Let's shoot many more videos with Robert in the future 😆

[@KentNishimuraGuitar]

It was so much fun hanging out with you guys in LA🇺🇸

[@RobertChen]

Watching you and Kent play and learning from you two that week was a enlightening experience. Cheers, here's to a fruitful year ahead!🤝

[@spryttle]

You were in LA????? 😳@@KentNishimuraGuitar

[@JosieStickdorn]

@@RobertChen so… you didn’t learn from me?! 😪💔

[@RobertChen]

@@JosieStickdorn I learned how to drink from you for sure, it's great to have a mentor encouraging me to challenge my limits. 🍻

[@andreas.soderlund]

Kent, a source of masterful technique combined with tranquility when you need it. Thank you.

[@qkrotor]

Someone needs to stop this man, for the sake of the environment. He's causing thousands of people to throw away their guitars in disgust.

[@JuxChi]

This comment made my day 😂😂😂 cheers

[@jasonmudgarde286]

I think Kent would be very sad if what you said was true. It's actually the opposite, players are inspired when hearing his wonderful arrangements of classic songs

[@stephendawg1]

Once again, I applaud your work ethic and impeccable taste (and interpretation) of great music. I wrote to my former guitar teacher, Jon Herington when you released Hey Nineteen to tell him about you. He replied right away to tell me he’d interviewed you for his podcast about guitar arrangements. I was so thrilled to hear that. Your skill and talent are so amazing and I appreciate everything you create. Blessings!

[@frankgoodmanbuzzholland7517]

Superb. Sublime. Sensational.

[@cmdrvarna]

Kent loves covering Steely Dan.. im hoping he is just working his way up to doing Reelin in the Years

[@slennie]

I bet he can come up with a mindblowing cover!

[@titusmajor]

Great video and amazing playing. Your arrangements always blow my mind

[@mattmoo1007]

Kent, you are awesome! Love all of your playing and you are a master arranger. I hope someday you do a version of How Deep is Your Love, because it will be the best solo version ever done!

[@thiec.1513]

This guy is one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard. He’s so underrated

[@lorettahookano6139]

My favorite acoustic artist thus far !

[@JustAGuitarPlayer]

Phenomenal playing and an absolutely perfect arrangement of one of my favorite Steely Dan songs. I studied guitar at USC in Los Angeles in the early 80’s. I’ve been playing 48-49 years now. It’s so nice to hear this great song played and arranged so well. I wish you the best in your career! You’ve got a very bright future ahead.

[@corilia9529]

Well look at you growin up and gettin better all the time. This is sublime

[@flapnoman]

..and he adds the live version ending to it. Fabulous.

[@barbasasha]

What a way to start a day, listening to this version of Dirty work. Kent, you left me speechless again. I read comments of the people and they have so many great observations. It is typical for your followers and that is also saying something. Once again, this combination of your musicality and superb playing makes you my favorite guitar player. The amount of humility and respect that you pay to the original songs is amazing. That ending, out of the blue. So tasteful.

[@BobbeeSingh]

Why is this video not gathering trillion views????

[@sln104]

Just stumbled across this guy and I’m amazed at his skill. He turns the guitar into the lyrics of the song. Genius talent.

[@MichaelWagnerGuitar]

Man, you’re the most enjoyable acoustic player I know. Could listen for hours.

[@ginadean4460]

Love that he plays great older songs. And he's amazing at it !

[@debmurray2734]

Love everything you put out Ken, but this ol' Dan song holds some seriously sentimental value for me. Thanks for this!!! ❤

[@AlanJumpi]

Amazing cover! Please more Steely Dan! :D

[@davidhoar75]

Still crushing it. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world Kent!

Glad to see you’re still out here. You are one of the best I have seen.

Kent hits it out of the ball park everytime, I love his playing, im truly a fan

[@golfvilla2]

Terrific! You are the best guitarist! I love your outdoor videos!!! I'm curious why you gave up finger picks to use your own nails.

[@Bill-dp3yl]

Thank Ken for a great new song from you. I’ve been a fan now for many years. I’ve gone back and listened to all you have uploaded and amazed at what you have accomplished and how you’ve grown. Keep up and wish you the best.

[@mrzaadr]

[@pedropadel141]

Just brilliant

[@pdrpicker]

I can’t believe how he created the saxophone solo, so effectively with the intonation of a sax! Looking forward to see you in Canada this spring with Don.

[@pigadmiral6642]

[@heckensteiner4713]

The man, the myth, the guitar god: Kent Nishimura.

[@soccertl]

You never cease to amaze me with your playing and arrangements. Thanks for sharing.

[@charliegigante9672]

Kent, THANK YOU!!! Really miss the Dan and you've brought them back to me. Seriously, if you haven't already...... Get your hands insured for at least a couple million dollars!!!! :)

[@adriangiles5086]

Hi Kent, so pleasing to hear you deliver another rock solid rock steady leading performance in a world gone mad. Musicians are the natural leaders and believe me those with understanding hang on your every "word". I really hope that those people that didn't get the memo that eg "War is Over" by eg the Beatles etc back then stop their nonsense and get it together. Shine on bro.

[@ひでやん-p9e]

昔　バンドでやった曲だけど、それでもこんなにカッコよく出来なかったよ😂　まさしく「ギフテッド」な才能ですね！😇

[@u2bewatcher159]

What a wonderful rendition. I was singing along with it in my head! Thanks for playing one of my favorite songs!

[@dr.wrinklebrain2667]

Uh oh who let him get outside? Kent unleashed!!

[@Newrayjay]

Amazing🎉

[@jamatemp5713]

[@DrMarmalader]

I love the way you did the verses. The whole arrangement is amazing. The video is great too.

[@lealvdead]

One of my favorite Steely Dan songs, your crisp style and beautifully played cover reminds me of why I still love it. I couldn't help but sing along! I look forward to hearing more from you. A true talent. Thank you.

[@scottamberg6825]

I've had pleasure of seeing Steely Dan performing live, here in NY at Saratoga Springs Jazz Festival. Loved your cover. Very cool to hear their music again. You are very talented. ❤

[@vannsci]

Wow, the control you have is amazing❣️ I bet your Bach/Chopin is like a symphony! I bet you’d enjoy a Chapman stick…❤

[@axelzeller9862]
