Isn’t it crazy how amazing these kids are. I have played for 20 years and fancy myself and then these TH-cam kids come along and suddenly I felt so untalented 😂😂😂
Kent also plays Aja, though it's audio only, no video. He is also a master at seamlessly sliding the capo and changing the key of the song without missing a beat.
I have listened to Kent and Gabriella Q constantly since discovering them about a month ago. They're in their own stratosphere. With them, something is going on other than practice and experience.
Since you are wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, I would love to get your reaction to Kent’s Another Brick in the Wall. I am still astounded by it after nearly 100 listens.
Can't seem to get enough of ur critical acclaim of the Kent Nishimura's "perfect genius" acoustics. Wish u'd anoder analysis on his Disney 'Beauty and the Beast' theme. All the build up ftom a slow playful start to a dramatic climax, WOW!
Really enjoyed this one-man-band take on what has now become both an easy listening and jazz modern standard. In fact, I momentarily feel less angry and ready to go to war with the eternal enemy in my head, but alas, that will probably end as soon as this video does, sigh... P.S., the great Pat Metheny also covers this tune on his tasteful 2003 solo acoustic album "One Quiet Night", and it is also well-worth a listen or twelve!! P.P.S. the parakeet chirping in the background of your overall presentation really contributes to the peaceful, easy feeling of it all!
The guitar he's playing isn't a 3/4 size (if I heard correctly, that's what you were saying). It's a Jeffrey Yong JJ model, which is actually rather big. The lower portion of the guitar is actually similar to a jumbo sized guitar, so bigger than the standard size more likely.
I've been following Kent for several years now. I rank him right up there with Tommy Emanuel. Go to Kent's channel and check out his cover of Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, or Michael Jackson's Thriller. These have everything you could perform on an acoustic guitar, performed flawlessly and seamlessly.
Wish he made a video on his cover of hotel california. But yeah, try listening to it. I think his most watched video covers are africa and careless whisper. Hope you can give a reaction to any of those covers. Subscribing
Since you are an accomplished musician in your own rights, I thoroughly enjoy your reaction and comments. His arrangement of Hey Nineteen is off the chart. 👍🤍🌞😎
Pretty sweet. The feel, and sound and balance with the bass notes is really nice. Only ding I want to give it is about the percussion. Most people won't notice, but it's a bit monotonous. Sounds like manual 'guitar slaps, and if you watch closely, it's not recorded as part of this take. Maybe at least lower it in the mix if you don't want to set off ears like mine.

Found this young man during pandemic....everything he does is amazingly beautiful.
Been listening to Kent for two years now and he's exceptional, you should hear his cover of steely dan !
Trully the most outstanding guitar player I’ve ever heard or seen. Makes me want to throw mine away. Love his music.
His purple rain cover is fantastic
Yes!
Kent is my favorite, so classy
Yeah this kid is out of this world :D And this even wasn't one of his most technical part.
I love Kent. His James Ingram is amazing 👏 😍
KN is astounding and this is not even one of his more complicated pieces!

Or the time cover.
Just bliss.
And now Comfortably Numb!
Check out his take on Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4-----absolute genius! Thanks for posting guys! 😀😀😀🙂
Check out his Sweet Love by Anita baker...unusual choice to cover beautiful song and played perfectly!
One of my favs of Kent. He has crystallised this style to perfection. Beautiful player, astounding arrangements!

wow perfect
That's a model of monkeypod guitar built by Jeffrey Yong that won Blind Listening Test at the Guild of American Luthier's convention at 2006.
Jeff is known for Monkeypod tonewoods, but that's not Monkeypod. It's actually mango tree wood.
@@mjtsirhc you're right
This dude makes his own arrangements and posts the unusual tunings below his videos as if we could conceivably play them like him -_-'

Chirp you very much! 🤘
Check out his sir duke, stevie wonder sick
Kent gives standards a new life... Sweet.

He has a new cover out now , I believe. The Christopher Cross "Sailing" He absolutely nails it....
Hey guys! Want to clarify that he’s self-taught. He has been playing since the age of 5!
I like violin music too. Please do reaction to karolina prostenko. I just know that you will really will appreciate this little girl with golden sound
Top top❤❤❤

He has made a cover of Hotel California. It's part of one of his albums.
Are those wound strings a
Gave ya a like for the cocaine fingers joke. But serious, this kid is on fire like Roy Buchanan used to be.
Yes brother, nice comparison. Thanks for watching! 🤘

He can become Tommy Emmanuel 2.0, when - he is writing own songs.
Well let's not get carried away, but for his sake I hope he does get even half as good as Tommy. Thanks for watching. 🤘
He actually played for Tommy on one of Tommy's shows
I hate this kid. I'm so jealous with envy. This is just too much.
Classical guitarist for sure.
He’s actually self-taught.
