Kent Nishimura, the greatest guitarrist on KZbin.

[@josephhayes9152]

*And the best taste in music.

[@mozartish9003]

I strongly agree

[@gerritbosch5269]

personally i prefer sungha jung but they are both insane

[@desslone]

I think Nishimura is Japanese for "Better than the original"

[@ErnestBautistaTravelMusicGadge]

Amen to that. Its not just the technique, its the musicality.

[@coopermadoka]

まるでベーシストが隣にいるような。。。そんな心地よいグルーブ！ たった６本の弦でこの音を奏でられるのは、世界中探してもココにしかいないはず。。。✨🙌🏻

[@ofermashiach4519]

Can't get enough of this guy. Every new cover becomes a masterpiece in his hands.

[@bouncetoast3154]

I can't wait...I heard Hal Leonard music was coming out with some of his transcriptions. Anyone else hear that?

[@switcheroo1759]

@@bouncetoast3154 good luck with that😂

[@b1iink249]

@@bouncetoast3154 I looked it up and there was an arranger/composer named Yukiko Nishimura selling their stuff in hal leonard’s website. Don’t know if there’s any relation between Kent and Yukiko

[@poohmatsuoka5525]

@@bouncetoast3154 There is no relation at all between Yukiko Nishimur and Kent. Hal Leonard has not uploaded any information about Kent's first tab/music book yet. But as Kent announced as one of latest news in advance with the front cover of it, the book will be published on Hal Leonard in this summer. www.kentnishimura.online/

💯 of them likes!!!!

[@TheVeganarchism]

This is like watching close-up David Blaine-style magic. You can see every finger movement yet I still can’t figure out how he makes this music appear. Amazing.

[@NFLineast]

Been listening to this song since the 80's and you've absolutely completely nailed the soul and essence of the song. Unreal.

[@dondongo4036]

Just the right amount of perfection 🎶🎧

[@rienvannoort4786]

kent you are the birelly lagrene ,the jimmy rosenberg, the michael jackson , the elvis presely and frank sinatra ,(to mention a few) of fingerstyle .. no one else of all fingestylist can reproduce what you can..Being a fingerstylist for over 40 years finally someone produces something what every gitarist wishes we could do on a guitar.. Moreover you reproduce the whole band including all its finesses having the balls to use alternate tuning to sound like the original bands they way you play this bass line where you stop it from ringing is amazing keeping all the other parts swinging at the same time.. so incredibly good ... im glad to be alive and witness this magic

[@abnuridd24]

The way this young man is able to incorporate every detail of a song into his playing is remarkable. Without having to compromise an ounce of rhythm or timing. He's already a master at his craft 👌

[@s.l.averythethird5378]

bobby died today. rest well brother

[@michaelyanela2745]

how does it sounds so crisp and pure and clear and serene and and...uhh wtf how can human hands and fingers do this why....how? what? T_T

[@xerox445]

That bass note!!!

[@pauls4742]

It's over-dubbed.

[@juandelacruz5247]

@@pauls4742 hmm.. maybe not.. I can notice a delay in the video and sound but I’m pretty sure he is tapping and that tapping is together with the bass.. That has to go somewhere and that should be the bass we are hearing..

[@poohmatsuoka5525]

@@pauls4742 Needless to say, Kent has been performing his cover songs with his original arrangement without overdub or multi-tracking or something like that. It's a fact. I can understand well that a few people sometimes have such opinion when they can't believe that the whole sound of each song on his KZbin channel came from one (1) acoustic guitar. Kent has always have other guitarists (although it's himself) on the video when his arrangement needs 2nd guitarist and/or 3rd guitarist. Please check his latest video below to see the 2nd and 3rd guitarist by Kent himself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYTLm3uIfMueibM Also, Kent has uploaded the same song "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room (John Mayer)" in 2019 on KZbin below. He plays the same song by one guitar with different tuning, as you can confirm from his description on each video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sICXe3WsjrR7eJo

[@jimoffutt9156]

@@pauls4742 when Kent overdubs, it's presented with 2 to 3 screens. So are you suggesting he would overdub when it's only a single screen - as it is here?

[@beanlegume9965]

@@jimoffutt9156 you can tell its overdubbed. He plays probably 80% to 90% of the bass notes, but with his arrangement here it would be impossible for him to hit some of them.

[@mrwagdog]

Kent's timing is impeccable, he nails the groove and keeps it in the pocket throughout the whole tune. I hit like on his videos before playing 'em 'cause I know they'll be good.

[@switcheroo1759]

I have to watch his videos multiple times before I can fully take everything in. It's like a movie where you notice something you missed the first time. So many subtleties

[@Slydime917]

I love how Kent's covers are soft and warm, it's very relaxing

[@fijimanjim]

He plays so flawlessly in the pocket

[@Hullonthehill]

いつも目を閉じて聴いてます。 木枯しが吹くニューヨークの風景が目に浮かびます。行ったことはありませんが… この素晴らしい才能は人類の宝です。ギター一本でこれ程までに人の心を豊かに出来るとは、何度聞いても素晴らしい。

[@gskiles23]

Rarely do I subscribe….3 vids in and I feel like I have the rest of the night planned out. Watch these all, then repeat.

[@tshepomatlheketlha8284]

Your plan sounds like mine😂

[@pizzababbo]

There’s no other KZbinr that I like the video before I even hit play. You just know it’ll be tremendous.

Walter Rodrigues Jr is another one ☝️ I like before watching:) def worth for u to check him out

unbelieveable. That presicion... That groove...

[@stevedrake380]

Flawlessly executed, uniquely interpretive and expressive, musically breathtaking.

[@casual_guitar]

Love seeing the Kent Nishimura notification!!

[@Loopwett]

Me too ;)

[@sugha850]

Agree

[@axlbeorn4286]

He captures the groove and the soul…dayuum

[@unagisama5476]

Dude!.. this acoustic picking solo actually considers the beat and rythm of the song rather than just showing off by tapping a monotone metronome on the guitar body. Kudos

[@UncleWally3]

Technical mastery, artistic expression, WTF magic-moment showmanship - all delivered in the groove.

[@justkiddingly]

You listen to him 3 times. First for the song, second for the bass, then third for the comments showing you were right in thinking he's THAT awesome.

[@pauls4742]

The bass line is an over-dub.

[@mclovinit2213]

@@pauls4742 okay?

[@adrogilla]

You're absolutely right. I am listening to this the fourth time now

[@billyroquemore3418]

Kent is the greatest guitarist in the world, because he is above all of the other artist that made the music that he plays and they are scared to challenge him. all of the music that Kent sound better than their, so they will stay in hiding

[@niwdelrak26]

Just noticed recently kent is more frequently using his lowden guitar. Its the best guitar for freestyle i think. The sound is well balance and really suits kent god level playstyle.

[@JGSkywalker]

I've said it before, his taste in music is astounding.

[@sravasaksitam]

he plays all my favourite songs lol

[@alanp9081]

Such a feel for the music, it comes to life when you play it....

Absolutely fantastic. Wish l could find the words to say it. Thanks from alabama your very welcome here.

[@OhSugarwastaken]

Perfection. Again. The amount of talent this guy has is astounding. Theres no other word for it.

[@fetomidake]

When a singer covers a song with exact arrangements as the original version, that’s karaokeish! When a fingerstyle guitarist covers a song with exact arrangements as the original, that’s greatness! You are really the best Ken! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Not really, clearly you are not a singer...There's nothing wrong with singing the melody as it was written with just subtle nuance.

[@fetomidake]

..“Arrangement “ dude, melody is just part of it!

[@WysteriaGuitar]

@@fetomidake The singer SINGS the melody...

[@johnsteinbeck6828]

8 people followed Kent just to be sure to make him know how jealous their are of his abilities. And I am also to, but I push the thumb up each time just at the start, as I know it will be flawless as usual. YOU'RE THE BEST KENT !
