    The complexity of what's being performed here is staggering. Never seen so much going on.... beats, pulloffs with the left hand, random harmonics.... UNBELIEVABLE.

      Yeah, it's crazy. Did you notice how he was "strumming" notes with a downstroke at the same time as the thumb slap? I know a lot of Korean and Japanese guitarists like Sungha Jung use the nail attack/kotassive to create the same effect but this is also quite cool.
      You think guitars are just about plucking and strumming and this kind of thing comes along and blows your mind.

      @@kaneturley9415 You’re way ahead of me. I’m still playing Kent’s recording in the background and moving my hands all over the guitar neck AS IF I was actually playing it! All kidding aside, I’ve watched many of Kent’s other videos and I think he custom tunes his guitar (though not open tunings) for each song so he can play all the different parts simultaneously. This would make his arrangements even harder to play!

    There are two realms of Nishimura's genius. The second realm is his fabulous technique, especially the right hand stuff. But the first realm is just being able to conceive of these arrangements - Bass lines, rhythm taps, chord structures, melodies - all integrated seamlessly in a single cohesive performance. There are very few musicians who can claim to have reinvented the way an instrument can be played - and Kent Nishimura is one of them. I wonder what he wants to be when he grows up?
