The Hustle - Disco - Van McCoy - Solo Acoustic Guitar - Arranged by Kent Nishimura

[@moonootoo]

I did not in my whole life imagine I would see "The Hustle" played on an acoustic steel guitar like this. Amazing.

[@josephgiustiniani2834]

You stole my comment. Who would have thought of this song for a fingerstyle guitar....?

[@leandroestrada3572]

Ditto

[@Saitamaaaaaaaaa123]

and yet here it is. it's amazing 👏

[@jeremygonzal8603]

It's an absolutely absurd song to fingerstyle, and yet here we are. I honestly can't tell if this was a troll choice because I'm still laughing while I'm listening to it, and yet Kent makes it work.

[@touchyvivace]

Me too

[@personanongrata99]

よくこれをアコギ一本でやろうと思ったなっていう… もう一生聴かなくていいぐらい耳に入って来すぎたけど、こうやって聴いてみるとすごく心地良いなあ 休日の朝いつもと同じ時間に目が覚めちゃって、でも休みだしゴロゴロしてもいいし出かけてもいいし、何しようかな〜ってゆったりワクワクしてる感じ

[@ramonitbelascuain9729]

For all of us out their who played guitar for the longest time, we all know that Kent is simply Awesomeness Personified.

[@Mark-eu4ds]

Mr. Nishimura... Van McCoy would be PROUD. He was the original artist of this song in 1975. R.I.P. Van McCoy. 1940-1979.

[@professordeb]

I’m old enough to remember the release of that song...he nailed it. Truly gifted...4 polyrhythms going at the same time at some points...wow! A one-man band on one instrument!!

[@rabiesdogchalot492]

His choice of songs is superb.

[@kurumusik]

I agree with you.. he chooses songs with chords that are not as simple as pop songs in general, this is also what distinguishes him from other fingerstyles, choosing good songs makes his arrangements also more colorful, also shows his taste in music

[@CasperEsmann]

Kent is here to stay folks! Greatest talent I've seen in a long time!

[@jonathannaniong8951]

This guy is virtuoso , clean touches , every note is clear

[@1HeatWalk]

When I closed my eyes. I could hear 3 different guitar players and a drummer. They all sound distinct and crisp. I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING! THIS IS INSANEEEEE!

[@micgarch8805]

Geez you where not even born yet when this song became so popular. I applaud you for doing justice to this song by playing acoustic rendition.

[@warrenshivairo6745]

ok i never thought i would see the hustle played fingerstyle this guy is just amazing

[@poohmatsuoka5525]

素晴らしい。先ず、世界的に大ヒットした、このディスコ曲を６弦のギターでアレンジしてみようと思いついた、その事が素晴らしい。ケントくんのアレンジは、いつも通りオリジナル録音のバンド・サウンドそのものを感じさせるモノですが、多くの方々がコメントしていらっしゃる通り、それがどれだけモノ凄いテクニックを要するものかは、フツーの感覚を持ったヒューマンビーイングなら容易に理解できる事でしょう。しかも、ケントくんによる全てのアレンジ作品に言える事ですが、そのテクニックが前面に出ておらず、あくまで完成した作品を輝かせるためのもので、テクニックを見せびらかしたりという事が全くありません。そんな自制的な事が16歳の少年に出来るのかと不思議に思う方もいらっしゃるだろうけれど、出来てしまっているのだから、仕方ない（笑）。 このビデオでケントくんの顔は映されていないですが、おそらく「喜々として」彼はプレイしているのでしょう。そんなケントくんの表情さえ見えてくるような、聴いていて楽しくなる演奏ですね。

[@Gray.12]

Forget his guitar skills. Just his choice of songs tells you he's special.

[@professordeb]

With you there!

[@ErnestBautistaTravelMusicGadge]

Amen to that.

[@udownwito.p.p4153]

Hes not racist, he loves all music 😁

[@touchyvivace]

I agreed !

[@Bowblaxian_Tricknology]

Agreed. I believe good music tastes takes a long time to develop and it's not surprising Kent's is excellent

[@hanchow2702]

Gingerstyle guitar playing The Hustle like a full band... I have to say WOW 15 times. Not to mention dat groove, my feet are tapping!!!!!

[@itagbbnnews247]

I decided to watch ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS, no matter how many after this!!....simply amazing! God bless!!

[@3kingkool]

ITAG BBN News Me too

[@yolandaescalante1501]

Same here

[@pongnaps2088]

hehe..likewise here

[@focidhomophobicii2426]

Internet rules always right ! i am never the only since the internet

[@chanwahmok9832]

Everytime I watch this video, my head cannot help but sway from side to side in sync with the groove... Of course I am only human, and humans appreciate good music and talent unless one is a block of wood.

[@allen6924]

I've listened to everyone and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone cover this sound finger style. Wouldn't have thought it possible. And then God made Kent and gave him such talent it became possible. Years from now we'll have a whole new crop of players imitating him. Thanks to God and his parents.

[@kuchingdelossantos4991]

The hustle in a guitar??? Unbelieveable!!!😲

[@CG-828]

Just wow. Not just bass and melody, but bass and melody on top of melody... Simply incredible.

[@kevingoins9858]

The late Van McCoy who wrote this #1 hit would be so proud of you Kent. Well done.

[@dpc111]

Having started high school in 1975, when this song came out, I was one of those "Disco Sucks" people. Hated it and this song was right up there in the lead. However, I must say, listening to this rendition, played by this young man, just made me smile. Loved it! Great Job Kent!

[@egjundis]

I am in the same boat.

[@gnutix]

This is strangely addictive... I've just listened to it for a full day of work and can't put my headphones down. Fingerstyle guitar groove at its finest! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@edgardoponce3363]

i agree with you

[@kevinpillay2046]

This is a new dimension of crazy talent. Take a bow sir

[@no-wonder4931]

Listening to this in the backseat of a bus on a cold rainy monday afternoon and watching the world go by....thank u.

[@PlaythatGuitar]

Awesome version of this disco classic! 👍😃

[@marcomisterio8356]

TALENT AT ITS FINEST ... .... BEYOND WORDS....

[@QuantumMan]

That groove is so in the pocket. Fantastic arrangement!

[@cookiejar2230]

I cannot put my admiration into words... you are a superb guitarist!

[@nollytapel2727]

Couldn't control my right foot from stomping.. I have to stop driving and dance to the groove at the side of the road.. HahahA

[@Stafford-d8u]

This guy is amazing. I’ve been playing guitar my entire life and never imagine the sounds coming out of this guitar like he has sound coming out of this guitar

[@lozadapaulienjames8880]

I was looking forward to the full version of this and it's totally lit! Somebody give him more love and induct him to the guitarists' hall of fame for his innate skill!!

[@jeromearendse1268]

Wow 👌 excellent... mastered this craft thanks for sharing 👍

[@marlenec.francia767]

Man o man. Such sheer joy to listen to sheer talent. I was grooving the whole time. Kent, you are simply the best.

[@robc4041]

I don't understand why anybody would dislike this guitar playing. This guy is gifted!

[@joeyzaldarriaga8408]

Whoever that was must be living in Woke City..

[@dygreenos9843]

I’ve watching all your videos. You are amazing in terms how you choreographed each song. Thank you.

[@NYVoice]

You almost caught me Kent I'm like "No way is he playing those high notes simultaneously with the accompaniment". You're entitled to double track here and there son. Great job.

[@reynaldopaz4008]

Kent Nishimura is awesome!!!

[@DeeMoBP21]

[@Andrew-wl4xb]

Takes me back, simply brilliant

[@charleymariano9088]

[@farmerbug7343]

i'd be totally floored if he hollers "do the hustle!" in the exact timing while he is playing LOL...great job , Kent!

[@WAN2TREE4]

Pure mastery of the fretboard and the music dynamics. Hats off to you.

[@chrisbondio2394]

With every video, you just amaze me!

[@samwilson3d]

We should send this video in a space capsule to the aliens with tentacles so they know not to mess with us.

[@LinYouToo]

Sudhir Kakar 🕺🏼💃🏻

[@ikrm]

But the aliens can play this with their nostril's hairs!

[@alexanderguerrero6063]

Haha

[@acidtonguemuzik]

ok

[@josephhayes9152]

Maybe they’d actually visit us if they heard this. “Earth isn’t a complete dumpster fire, lets go say hi to Kent” -the aliens

[@Saitamaaaaaaaaa123]

I really like his covers. I admire how he covers old songs but I also think that it is the reason he isn't recognized yet because of the fact that many users(mostly young ones) doesn't recognize the song. To say it simply, Popular songs = More viewers.

[@shairuno]

It is so true but his choice of songs also makes him stands out from those young KZbinrs. Kent is so unique.

[@tuffgong9951]

Wow!! Thanks Kent!!

[@bobbygrey5859]

Just pure Awesome no other words for his talent and he does on a guitar👍 WOW!

[@1clackerman]

What a GREAT talent you are. And the way you show it in your videos, always keeping the camera of the strings and your mesmerizing fingers, makes it hypnotic experience. I watch in amazement. You really are the greatest guitar player I ever had the privilege to enjoy.

[@itagbbnnews247]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@davebroughton6563]

U got groove, funky vibes, crisp sound, accuracy on the fretboard so fluent, tis a feeling of peace n love Bro u be like the "Lord of the Strings" yup I'm one of ur many disciples

[@EUK007]

This particular music is hard to pull off in a guitar. It sounds like there are 4 musicians performing (3 guitarists and 1 beatbox) yet there you are just playing with your guitar effortlessly. I'm glad that I subscribed on your channel. Cheers!

[@focidhomophobicii2426]

i think your beatbox mean Cajón. beatbox is a man doing dat Ba dum tss thingy and it should have more sound of the exhaling and to be honest, no human could provide that much good snare sound. we ain't get no metal line in our vocal chords. to be short : bruh plz giv instruments some respect

[@jpierrepontfinch28]

Masterpiece indeed. The new “Mister Guitar” Kudos and then some 👍🎸 For those who didn’t like it. What planet are you on man? Come on. Maybe it’s jealousy.

[@davidestillore5942]

Very impressive!

[@cristinacora6529]

you are fantastic! great Kent. Ciao from Italy

[@davidshepherd2107]

Disco ain't dead yet!

Extraordinary. Brilliant

[@snoopaka]

Cool idea and execution. Marvelous
