Synchronicity 2 - The Police - Solo Acoustic Guitar (Kent Nishimura)

[@TheChessPatzer]

You can almost hear the voice of Sting in this arrangement. Splendid.

[@ferdinandoscala]

I have six guitars, two classical, one 6-string acoustic, one 12-string acoustic and two electric, of which one is a beloved Eko Cobra from 1960. After hearing to your skills and seeing the easiness that you put into playing this legendary song, I'm going to burn them all to ashes! 😀 You are shaming anyone that labels himself as a guitarist. Pure respect.

[@rockingjohnfowler9617]

I have 3 acoustics and 4 electric guitars. After seeing this I can only make the claim that I’ve owned guitars for 39 years. I can no longer pretend that what I do is “play” guitar. Absolutely fantastic!

[@redeemed.777]

Andy Summers would cry tears of joy❤

[@spinozasamosa4502]

One of my favorite songs from the 80s. Never thought I'd enjoy a cover as much as the original. Masterful

[@Benjamin-ol4jx]

The better he gets.....people may request that he not do covers of their songs

[@izimio]

Your ability to reproduce minute nuances of the original song is amazing. Brought back memories of the golden age of music.

[@davidjoseph7142]

I totally agree, for me it’s not just picking a good song that sounds good in the way he can arrange it but it’s also picking those truely great songs that I can hear the original soundtrack playing in my head simultaneously bringing back the memories. i think it’s kind of funny that at his age he’s doing this better than the other guitarist with the same kind of channels that are two and three times his age.

[@AStrangersBaby]

I was about to comment but you already said it! I just amazing work!

[@Ramenko1]

He is in incredible. And inspiring! He is still rising. He is forever mastering. It’s never finished. He’ll always grow! God bless him! Amen!

[@flinx649]

Return of the King!!!!!

[@davidofpiano423]

You pick the best songs, man. Every time I listen to your playing, I can’t help but bob my head to the beat. You are the man.

[@loisalanoa6342]

I agree. The chosen tunes are lit. Keep it coming, you’re the best.

[@steveandsarahrutledge9105]

From doubter to believer in 30 seconds. Amazing!

[@harry2313]

Always waiting for Kent's new covers, what style, all the sounds he can get out of one guitar, I think he mastered this instrument

[@zencosuzuki8496]

Guitar lord.

[@たかし-w4n]

いつも思うのですが、50代の親父としては選曲が良すぎる！

[@WashburnD10]

The KING of strings is back. Man this is beautiful. Just hearing it.

[@Stahlgewitter]

Well...what ELSE did you have in mind to do with it?

[@larsstougaard7097]

It touched my heart strings

[@paulb9453]

Perfect, you captured every nuance of Synchronicity - you're an orchestra in the palm of a single pair of hands - if a genie gave me three wishes, one would be to play like you!

[@joetunon]

LOL! Another incredible adaptation and performance that just makes me shake my head and smile. The song choice and complexity and accuracy of the arrangement is really hard to believe. Thank you, Kent. You've truly blessed us with your talent.

I don't think I've ever clicked a video so fast! Thumbs up before I even watch あなたは最高です、ケント！

[@coopermadoka]

ケント君がカバーしたから、好きになる曲やアーチストがたくさんあります💕この曲もKZbin→原曲→KZbin→原曲のヘビロテになりそうです✨ LIVEの翌日にセットリストに入ってなかった新しい曲がアップされるなんて、贅沢すぎる〜💘😆

[@vannsci]

すごい😍😍😍 Absolutely incredible…I felt like I was on the shores of that Scottish Loch🐉

[@jaikumarvenkatchari3838]

So confident , self-assured, and another intricate arrangement by a fine young man. 😊😊😊😊😊

[@justsomeit5818]

Not only are you the most dope string master, you always cover my favorite songs.

[@blakelivesmatter]

KENT! ITS BEEN AWHILE AND HERE YOU ARE STILL KILLING IT!

[@wkmphoto]

One of my favorite Police songs. I’m amazed you can play it all so well on your guitar.

[@830pm9]

うますぎる　神だ。さすがです

[@Kabiito]

Ahhh I love this song!! Beautifully arranged and performed, Kent!🤩🎸

[@CasperEsmann]

Absolutely incredible!🔥

[@egjundis]

the transition from 0:18 to 0:24 sucked me in with so much nostalgia. then 0:45 you just suck us back to a new way to experience some of the best music of our younger lives. thank you so much Kent!

[@adamrafferty]

YES YES YES Kent! Great!

[@barbasasha]

Again and again. Kent. And that little melodic turn that slipped in from 3:04 to 3:16! Beautiful !

[@johnnychin]

There's just something different about his covers. He just gets the details right: melody, octaves, rhythm, riffs, harmonies... Gosh he's just so good. As much as I admire other fingerstyle guitarists out there, he's definitely one of the, if not the best on KZbin at least. He just gets the music right.

[@flinx649]

Kent is one of the best in the world.

[@Mordred478]

I couldn't believe my eyes or ears. Simply having the idea to adapt this classic to acoustic guitar is so original. And your performance is masterful, nothing less. You made this old guy who was your age when this album came out and a massive Police fan very happy. ;-)

[@mhurlock]

I can hear the PASSION in your play! 👏❤

[@sanijoesoep4455]

Thats my fav song. Thx for playin, beatiful rendetion..

[@cactuscanuck6802]

Very cool song to cover. I've been listening to this song since the day the album dropped 40 yrs ago, and I can't imagine anyone doing a better finger style cover!

[@marcomiari6673]

Mai ascoltato una persona che ha un cuore così grande per la MUSICA

[@Star_Sn1per]

Unbelievable 😳

[@thomassmith3583]

Saw this was up, clicked it immediately, wasn't disappointed. That's an incredibly difficult piece to make flow so effortlessly. Wonderful arrangement of a song I particularly like. Brilliant.

[@random275]

Fantastic !! 🙂you are a one man band !!

[@maxcactus7]

Love the acoustic adaptations you've done for so many of my favorite songs, Ken! Simply exquisite work as always and you bring an entirely new dimension to these classic tunes. Wonderful!

[@phillipschultz7869]

I wish you could have played with Chet Atkins!!!

[@xtc2009]

グルーブ最高です。原曲へのリスペクトも最高！！！

[@PeterNakamura-d1f]

Amazing arrangement to get all of the nuances of the original song so it can be played on a single guitar. Genius!

[@leafbelly]

I love your song selection. This has always been one of my favorite songs form the 1980s (along with Overkill by Men at Work). Great arrangement and playing as usual!

[@richardwcleveland363]

This young man is a MASTER!

[@ansbach310]

This is just fantastic. Jaw dropping even. Ever thought about covering any Big Country songs?

[@jonnipos2007]

Jaw just hit the floor, outstanding.

[@Stahlgewitter]

I enjoy listening to Kent so much more than so many of the other KZbin guitarists (ie Marcin), because his execution is as close to perfect as possible, and what he is doing with the percussion, for example, is not detracting at all from his ability to play the instrument. It's all one big song, perfectly executed. With others I often feel like they would be better off allowing a percussionist to accompany them. With Kent I don't feel this way at all.

[@ひろっ-q9i]

圧巻すぎる！ライブ行きますね！

[@dragons_red]

Beautiful cover! Takes me back to my grade school days when this album came out. Al classmate and I were obsessed with that album and all things Police.

[@johnrisher3007]

Kent, you are very very talented. Awesome job

[@williamhilinsky1327]

Are you going to tour the US anytime soon? I’d be so there… this one is one of my favorites of the 80’s. You’re just incredible dude…

[@one0nine]

I've been following you for ages, you'd think I would eventually figure out that there is quite literally nothing you cannot do on a guitar... and yet, this still leaves me shaking my head in wonder and awe.

[@adduxe]

Man! This is kick ass! 🤘🏼😖🤘🏼

[@combolife]

I saw you Kent in Osaka in July. You were checking into the hotel carrying your Furch guitar. It didn’t click at the time that that was you. Missed an opportunity to say hello.

[@JhedaelLozano]

i'm inlove

[@sebuteo]

Woah! What a fabulous rendition of a terrific song. Kent… you’re a gent’!
