This is perfect pitch, photographic memory, perfect finger, hand, & eye coordination, virtuosic musical skills, and an extraordinary sense of rhythm all wrapped up into one and he kinda makes it look easy but any guitar player from beginning to advanced knows it ain't, especially when you factor in the fact that he also did the arranging of an entire band for one instrument.
I have NEVER seen ANYONE who can do this type of performance song after song after song. How many HOURS and with the precision on beat, bass, rhythm, lead and every other instrument. This is not a one off, Kent consistently does this again and again. Stunning and GREAT to WATCH, every time!!!~
This guy is an incredible player. Plays bass, rhythm, melody, and doesn't miss a note. His arrangements are awesome and accurate to the original songs.
I am happy to be existing at a time when legendary Kent Nishimura is coming into his prime, I can't wait to see how much more amazing stuff he will put out in the future.
I agree. Kent, you can play the whole band version of any song with 6 strings and 2 hands. This is guitar playing on a level that all of the guitarists in the world can only dream about. To play that solo while accompanying yourself with the bassline and rhythym at the same time!!!! Is insane!.
@@Siddhartha040107 The 1st to 4th strings (ie the ones the solo is played on) are in standard tune, the only difference is that the fifth and sixth strings appear from the description to be tuned down a fifth. That's not to take away from the unbelievable precision to get that kind of tone and clarity out of an acoustic guitar while not dropping the drum or bass parts.
Kent, you don't play songs, you make music. That was a mini concert! Your talent, hard work and passion is quite evident. Great arrangement and flawless playing!
The thing I love,apart from his incredible talent,is the way he plays the song the way it should be and not run off on tangents and overdo the tune.Brilliant!
the guitar solo was insane , fast and clean , (fast solo + percussion + bass + rhythm + harmonics at the same time) another great arrangement from my inspiration , "kent nishimura"
Watching this for the 5th or 6th time now and I am slowly realizing that Kent is now among my favourite guitarists. The subtle details of your playing are incredible
That’s the best remake of a song on a guitar I’ve ever seen! This gentleman is definitely going to go down as one of the greatest that ever touched a guitar!
Just discovered Mr. Nishimura and my world is forever changed. Most impressive playing I think I've ever seen. He doesn't just play the guitar part... he plays percussion and the vocal melody as well, and flawessly... Couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.
yeah but he's shot himself in the foot so far by covering mostly meh banal songs. Had he covered the great ones he'd be a superstar now. Still he's young enough get all the meh average songs out of his system and then get on with his life by covering the greats.
When watching Kent, I make sure my fingers can see the screen so that they can see what they might be capable of if they did what I damn well told them to! This is guitar playing from another stratosphere altogether. Incredible!
Unbelievable talent, Kent. I am genuinely floored. What is more unbelievable though is the number of subscribers that you have! You should have a million, at the very least. At the current rate, our planet's inhabitants are being deprived of your generational and godly skills. My dude has everything desirable in a musician - unmatched technical prowess, excellent rhythm and groove, and what a lot of people don't really appreciate - his uniquely faithful and phenomenal musical arrangement of the melodic hits, past and present. You have it all. And at such a young age. Kent, those who have listened to your renditions are truly and monumentally blessed. We, who love and appreciate music, humbly look forward to your next masterpiece...
Kent… I’ve watched many of your videos, and I just can’t figure out how you’re able to fit an entire band into one guitar 🤣🤣🤣. But really, I continue to be absolutely stunned by what you can do with a guitar! You have really, in my opinion, maximized the capability of what a guitar can do and become. I continue to be beyond impressed, and have to constantly remind myself that what I am hearing and seeing is real. You’re a benchmark talent Sir, and we are all to be considered blessed by your gift! 👍🏾 x 1,000,000
Dude... it's unreal what you get to come out of an acoustic guitar. I'm in awe of every video you post. Thank you for sharing your talents man, we appreciate it.
OMFG this is the most insanely impressive piece of virtuosity that I have ever seen. The studio mastering was also superb. It's so good that I almost think an AI might have done it, except that I don't think any amount of post processing would have been able to do anything close. This arrangement is stellar, on some other level of genius. 🤯
I can confidently say, you are the number one guitarist in the world for this style of playing. No one comes close…outstanding and mesmerizing all at the same time!! Thank you!!
I imagine Phil Collins dancing while listening (and watching) this cover! What an amazing talent! Youre a gift of music to all aspiring guitar players and music lovers around the world. Thank you for sharing! :)
Around for few years on YT. It’s time he gets the higher recognition he deserves. Would love to hear his own writing on an album. Amazing cover renditions BUT can only imagine what authentic innovations he has stored in his head! Seriously, he deserves more than he is recognized for.
Man where have I been, Kent is amazing. But i must say, even to have that skill or practice the song's to that level, without having a guitar of that caliber it will always fall short. That sound quality is amazing. Brilliant resonance.
Kent it's almost incomprehensible how great you are, never did I ever believe I'd hear anyone able to play so superbly! Your skill is otherworldly, we're all very fortunate to be able to listen and watch such an immense prodigy!
This guy is amazing, there are no words to describe his talent. No disrespect....but he is by far the most talented guitarist on you tube..hands down!!
All the voices in my head agree that you made all the voices in Easy Lover pop on just a guitar. Phenom is not a strong enough word to describe your musical and composition skills sir.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!😃👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just unbelievable. It's a privilege to get a comment from you on my video. I have a great deal of respect for you as bassist and composer.
wooohoooooo Phil Collins, Nathan East and Kent... all in one package here. What a treat! :)
EXACTLY
I've never seen someone replying Easy Lover fingerstyling like this, speed Solo with Bass same time, are you serious 🧠🧠🧠😬😬😬🏆🏆🏆
This is perfect pitch, photographic memory, perfect finger, hand, & eye coordination, virtuosic musical skills, and an extraordinary sense of rhythm all wrapped up into one and he kinda makes it look easy but any guitar player from beginning to advanced knows it ain't, especially when you factor in the fact that he also did the arranging of an entire band for one instrument.
Man, those harmonics during the guitar solo section!
I said the same thing!!
Yes; masterful
Crazy
plus, the bassline and the snare keep going without a break. Just awesome. Absolute great technique.
@@bosseb world class

Your comment summarizes Kent's playing EXACTLY !! 😊
He's only a teenager and he's already one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
His pinky is more talented that both of my hands after 20 years of playing guitar. This guy is made of legend.
😂
Keep your missus away from that pinky
@@thedarkriddler7318😂
3:25 some people were meant to paint, others play sports, this guy was meant for the guitar
Ridiculously insanely good
Sorry but one if the greatest solos and you nail it with percussion bass and rhythm too. This is not normal
I agree, he is a music prodigy! ❤️👏🏻
@DANIEL NORMAN
Sure. He doesn't know who is Kent Nishimura.
...totally agree....... the way this guy play guitar is not normal
@@lucica1212 I'd say his way is better though! Lol.
All I could do is smile ☺ once he started playing.
This guy is an incredible player. Plays bass, rhythm, melody, and doesn't miss a note. His arrangements are awesome and accurate to the original songs.
Super galing Kent - number 1 ka sa Amin dito sa Philippines
Oh my god, haven't seen anything like this, great talent, God bless you, I'm 60, feel younger wen I listen to you, frm. South Africa 👌❤️👍🙌💯
Fantastic. I could hear Phil Collins throughout. Brought me right back to the 80's ?
I listened to this 2 times in a row. The first time just wasn't enough, and I needed it again!
Only 2? Amateur 😎
The first and second of many
Definitely same but heard it 4-5xs
I am happy to be existing at a time when legendary Kent Nishimura is coming into his prime, I can't wait to see how much more amazing stuff he will put out in the future.

Would love to see Phillip Bailey and Phil Collins react to this together in video format.
I am now convinced that Kent is from another planet. Because what he is doing with all these songs is incredible.
Concurred!
It is now a fact, he is the best guitarist on TH-cam.
God is SMILING!
The solo out of this world..
Even the Daryl Stuermer's solo, you're a genious 😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing, sounding like the whole band was playing.
This man has 5 brains. Unreal...the absolute best I've ever heard.
It’s one thing to arrange, learn and play this to perfection, but doing it so effortlessly is just criminal
Dude, the solo from 3:05 to 3:35 is just masterful guitar playing. So smooth, doesn't miss a note, rhythm or bass part. You're simply amazing.
Also, he is doing that solo with the guitar on a different tuning. What a monster!
@@Siddhartha040107 What tuning is it?
@@dereknolin5986 it's on the description
@@Siddhartha040107 Oh, duh! Thanks!
@@Siddhartha040107 The 1st to 4th strings (ie the ones the solo is played on) are in standard tune, the only difference is that the fifth and sixth strings appear from the description to be tuned down a fifth.

Hope Phil Collins here's him do this ,, this be cool if Phil did soft low singing duet acoustical with the kid ......for us of this song.!
Kent, you don't play songs, you make music. That was a mini concert! Your talent, hard work and passion is quite evident. Great arrangement and flawless playing!
been playing guitar since i was 12 years old.. this is literally mind blowing.
Unbelievable. Caught between breathless and excited giggles. I'm not sure I've seen anything as good as this. Genius!!
I’ve said this before, no one above Kent!🔥🎶
Okay, if I wasn't convinced then I am now, This is the BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET ON GUITAR!!!
The thing I love,apart from his incredible talent,is the way he plays the song the way it should be and not run off on tangents and overdo the tune.Brilliant!
the guitar solo was insane , fast and clean , (fast solo + percussion + bass + rhythm + harmonics at the same time) another great arrangement from my inspiration , "kent nishimura"
OMG! A phenom. So tasty on the solos and never losing the groove.
Watching this for the 5th or 6th time now and I am slowly realizing that Kent is now among my favourite guitarists.
The subtle details of your playing are incredible
In my best moments as a player, I've kind of dissapeared, and the music felt like something that happened to me. I think Kent lives in that zone.
That’s the best remake of a song on a guitar I’ve ever seen! This gentleman is definitely going to go down as one of the greatest that ever touched a guitar!
The way he does the bass parts on separate time from the rhythm, plus percussion!!! Incredible artist 🙏
That kind of playing that leaves your mouth wide open with nothing coming out!
impossible to sit without move while listening. awewsome
Pure magic ... I don't think this is the only lifetime you have played guitar ... you are a master
This is one of the greatest things I’ve seen in a very long time. Dude, you are insane….
Above any human limit this guy! unbelievable
My man. You broke the internet again 🙏🏽
Just discovered Mr. Nishimura and my world is forever changed. Most impressive playing I think I've ever seen. He doesn't just play the guitar part... he plays percussion and the vocal melody as well, and flawessly... Couldn't hit subscribe fast enough.

Kents an easy jammer, he'll get a hold on you believe me
Thanks for all the love given to Phil Collins Kent. Both of you are incredible musicians.
いぁ～！最高！！！！！
大好きな曲です！間奏の早弾きいいですね～！
ヘッドホン大音量で聞かせて頂き、鳥肌立ちました!(^^)!
This might just be the best acoustic arrangement of any song I've ever heard. That was fucking phenomenal. What a staggering talent.
and when we needed him the most, he returned.
Unreal!!!! I rather this version than the original!!!
When watching Kent, I make sure my fingers can see the screen so that they can see what they might be capable of if they did what I damn well told them to! This is guitar playing from another stratosphere altogether. Incredible!
There is not 1 guitarist on earth even close to Kent Nishimura. ... and I literally mean that.
Not even Dimebag Darrell?
@@temptemp4094 Dime is no longer on Planet Earth, but we'll give his soul an honorable mention.
Tommy Emmanuel. The god of all guitarist
@@viniciusazevedo6043and mike dawes. Best combo
Ever heard of Tuck Andress?
If you can master one thing. Hone it to absolute perfection. Your playing is pure excellence and perfection.

Your ability to keep rhythm whilst playing any solo is absolutely INSANE! 🤯
Virtuosity beyond comparison!
From the mouth of my guru, “Sound is reverberation. Listen to it.” This sounds great!

I keep coming back to this one. Great song, of course- but something about it makes it uniquely perfect for his style to shine.
This man should be recording with the best artists out there... what a gem
The way you nailed the solo was superb!! As was the whole track…..you sir are a genius👍🏼
I agree! I rocked out in my chair during that part!
I simply have no words.... simply amazing.
Insane techniques.. especially during guitar solo..
Absolutely crazy this guy, you deserve a billion followers
Kent another masterpiece! I could not hit the button quick enough. Your talent has no end. ❤️
I can confidently say, you are the number one guitarist in the world for this style of playing. No one comes close…outstanding and mesmerizing all at the same time!! Thank you!!

Giving "like" is not enough. This is TOO good. What a talent you are.
All kinds of good vibes happening

Nailed it, eargasms all over. You're the best 'easy lover' a guitar can have
Wow!!! Good memories!!! You are the Best, Kent!!! Thank you!!! ❤
oh my God. !!!! Remenbers. Greetings from Brazil.
Your mastery of these old songs continues to amaze me! Well done! 👏🏻
Awesome as usual Ken!!
You kind comment about Kent's arrangement and performance will cheer him up when he will try to make his next new video, Joe. (from Kyoto, Japan)
