His playing so amazingly vivid and accurate that certain parts brought me right back to being a kid blasting this song in my hallway on my stereo. Genuinely one of the best players in the world
Ever since I was a kid, I have been able to separate different parts of a song as I'm listening to it, from the percussion to the bass to the guitar, keyboard, etc. I could listen to this over and over again. It's food to my ears. I can't get enough of this. What an insane genius you have, Kent Nishimura, and what an inspiration you are to so many musicians out there. Wow! Just, wow!
I think no other fingerstyle player can top this arrangement and performance with the same song. This playstyle is on another level. His right hand is a cyborg. 😀
These harmonics!!! Regular people have left and right sides to their brain. Kent has left, right, north, south, east, west, top, bottom, and more. It's simply amazing what you do!
I fully understand how bold this statement is but I do believe that currently there is nobody else who plays this well. It's flawless. There's nothing missing. Nothing. It's really difficult to comprehend just how good this guy is.
..like writing a movie, then shooting it in one take.. just the amount of calculation that must go into every note and every transition, no missed opportunities, no missed details, no compromises _on anything,_ yet everything all at the same time, *from a box with strings.* We've arrived; this is it, the ultimate, logical conclusion of "playing the guitar". I mean, what else is there - making it beatbox, or talk to animals? If, as a species, we stopped everything else we're doing right now and began beaming this channel into space with all the power we can muster, we might finally have justified our existence to the cosmos, is all. "Playing the guitar". One thing we've definitely got down pat.
It's evident he possesses a deep understanding of music! This rendition showcases not only his technical prowess but also his innate creativity & ability to think outside the box. It's impressive to witness such an incredible display of musical talent from someone so young. This arrangement leaves a lasting impact, making us appreciate the song in an entirely different way.
I.....uh...I just can't get my head around how someone SO YOUNG can be this phenomenal!!! Your intonation, the strumming, finger picking, percussion, even the VOCALS!!!!! You capture the vocals so well that I can hear every single word in my head!!! I've been playing since I was 4, born to two musicians, now I'm 46. There have been a couple times here and there when I discovered other types of the arts and put music on the back burner, but youy friend.....you've got to be practicing 10 hours a day, right? My God!!!! All I know is that I've yet to make it through a single one of your compositions without crying!!!! Trust me when I say this is very much NOT a bad thing!!!! Just like another comment said, YOU BRING JOY TO THE WORLD!!!! You may even be one of the top players alive!!!! Thank goodness for you!!!! You bring so much happiness into a world filled with hate and prejudice!!! We NEED the Kent's of the world!!!! Thank you!!!!!
question: I´m 18 and i can cover songs like this in 1 to 2 weeks i can also play like mike dawes (one by metallica) etc. but in the last 2 years i havent played the guitar because of the lack of motivation. I now go to the gym. should i keep playing guitar and start yt? I have no music theory skills.
Wow. Even the first 25 seconds of this song seem completely out of the reach of anyone I know. Tapping harmonics with the right hand while strumming and working the fretboard with the left hand, and everything timed perfectly. Incredible!
I wish we could live in a world where we could sit in any social setting and play music like this without people acting like it’s cringe or the worst thing they’ve ever heard because it’s not trendy, this is beautiful and people need to stop being ignorant.
Maaan the precision on his picking fingers is unreal. To keep the resonance and depth on those picks without dampening the other chords is unreal, then throw in the percussion to boot. To say this man is talented is in an understatement. Annnd hes only getting started.
I've been on TH-cam for over a decade and I rarely comment on things. Your brain is superior to a normal human being. To be able to play the melody, to harmonize it and have some chords over it with beats? My mind is blown.
Just came back to listen to this after 11 days and noticed Kents gained 2k subscribers. C'mon everyone, let's share this and get him the attention he deserves.
Moving the capo up one fret was a clever one for the modulation. I knew within 5 seconds of playing this it was going to be a beauitful rendition. One of the best I've heard in a long time sir, well done.
I know a lot of people can probably play this on a technical level, but to come up with the arrangement is a different kind of skill and this may be perfection.
To everyone here listening to this awesome relaxing music, If you are feeling down today, remember this: Life its like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs but in the end it will always be worth it. Don’t give up! We believe in you!
One of my favorite MJ tunes, made perfect by unequivocally my favorite guitarist. I'm not a crier, but Kent's covers *usually* make me tear up. Like, most of the time. It's like hearing someone speak to you in your own language for the first time after a long time away. Almost a sense of relief. It's the best of what music is for.
Another reason why I love your arrangements, Kent, is because other guitarists, particular jazz musicians, reharmonize and add so much to the song that I can't even tell what's going on. I don't understand any of the complex, over-the-top intellectual musical stuff going, and that's coming from someone who has a basic grasp of music theory already. I love how sweet and concise your covers are-- nothing overly intellectual or jazzy, just the good ol' song perfectly recreated, with all the details, as the original sounds. Keep doing what you do!
other (jazz) guitarist cannot do this .. this guy is totally unique.. we are witnessing something really special here..ive been playing guitar over 45 years and have seen a lot of the great (fingerstyle) players but no one can come close to this guy... just compare tuck andress his version.. then u know what i mean
As someone who was trained for years in jazz I completely agree. I respect this style so much because of the musical intricacies and harmony arrangement, Not just dissonant bs that’s purposefully avant- grade
Your opinion isn't a reflection on jazz though, it's a reflection on your own simple tastes. Preferring comic books to Michaelangelo doesn't make him less of a master.
I think the reason why Kent only have 250k+ subscribers is because only few people nowadays appreciate "OLD BUT GOLD MUSIC" like this. Thank you so much Kent. I'm a silent but avid follower of you since this channel has 9k subs 2 years ago. Never missed a single upload without viewing it multiple times. Soon the world will appreciate you even more! Keep inspiring! God bless!
@@Jeorge_Supero As a "young folk" we do listen to old music it's just not whats mainstream so it doesnt get talked about as much. i also wholeheartedly believe that the reason kent only has 270k subs isnt due to a lack of appreciation but more youtube not recommending this to people as most people don't listen to solo acoustic covers (even though they should with talents like kent out there)
Hey Kent, Good music to me, is when you forget if it's a band playing, just a guitar , maybe a piano, if there's singing at all. Damn, you Even forget you're listening... From the moment you reached the first chorus, I just forgot myself, and for me, this where the magic happens, and the reason I love music. It's so full, rich, tight, flowing. So Michael. You're a true gift to the music world my friend. Wish I'll see you live one day, or even better, play together. Stay safe, Yoni
I've lost count how many times I have listened and enjoyed this one and your other renditions of classics. your qualities attract real musicians. Our level of appreciation comes from understanding the work and talent necessary to present something so unique. Thank you, Kent. Keep it going.
He doesn't interact! Its instructional over produced sound, you know like in the 80s and 90s when in an elevator. No doubt talented, but come on, interact with the world.
Everytime you upload a song to youtube I think: "Now how is he going to top that?"... and everytime a new vid pops up I am amazed allover again. Pure perfection. Thank you.
Rarely watch twice but.....this one was good! All the jazz guitar players know how difficult arranging is let alone playing it. Such a clean, precise, unencumbered sound.
Every arrangement Kent makes is simply... Astounding! Let me say this: Kent Nishimura is the absolute best fingerstyle cover song arranger AND guitarist OF ALL TIME.
Want to point out the harmonics at the beginning, the groove, the clever combination of melody and harmony on a single instrument, the dynamics … the whole bloody thing. Spectacular!
Where you are, I may never get there. But you give me something to strive for. In the mean time, I get to listen to the most amazing fingerstyle arrangements by the most gifted guitarist I've ever seen and heard anywhere. Thank you!
Kent continues to amaze. I can't imagine what it's like to be listening to the radio and be like, 'oh, yeah, I can arrange that into a perfect solo acoustic piece' and then execute like this. A joy to behold.
Ooof. The kick drum with the wrist, the capo jump at the key change, the syncopation, co-ordination and dynamics throughout... This is brilliantly arranged, impressive technically and beautifully performed. All my hats off to you. Keep em coming.
I think people like these are the true aliens. Look how young he is and as good as he is. This just doesn't come from practice. He has a command of tuning and the fretboard that is unbelievable. I just look and listen and just throw my hands up. Too good. Too skillful.
I’m with you Rudy, I’m utterly amazed by people like Kent. Especially since my music ability is zero! I would give my left you know what to play like this kid!
This whole performance was incredible, as always. But I feel the need to mention this specifically: that was the smoothest capo slide I have ever seen! Literally, a “blink and you miss it” skill you’ve just shown us. I cannot get enough of seeing your immense talent grow more and more each time, and I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much for all the joy and wonder you bring to anyone who listens!
My God that was amazing! As a lifelong MJ fan, I idolize and obsess over all his unique and intricate vocal phrasings and man, you mimicked them all perfectly on the guitar. You really must have studied the song inside and out. I enjoyed that so much and I am blown away! Well done Sir. Michael would be proud!

Amazing 😍 not only do you perform this song with the highest of standards, you also share your secrets... Bravo 👏🇦🇺❤️
I’d kill for tab of “What A Fool Believes.” Any plans to release that?
ありがとうございます！
Have been waiting for too long. Thank you.
eres un genio.........soy tu admirador ...saludos desde Perú
How does this not have at least a billion views. It's universally one of the most amazing displays of genius.
It’s 2024 and I’m back listening to this masterpiece
My first time here and learning about Kent.
He's definitely a blessing to us and the reason why the Internet was created! 💖
Same
Me too. Ive watch all of his covers i love this young japanese man
For my money this young man is the most exciting guitar player on Earth right now.
💯
マイケルの声まで聞こえてきそうで鳥肌がたちました。

Agree completely. Melody, bass line, fills, percussion. I was amazed.
That's a real gift. Missy people cannot do that. My youngest daughter can break apart all the harmony lives, the instruments. It's so cool.
He's the kind of guys that we need to make famous
This may be the most beautiful guitar renditions EVER heard. No words. Speechless
It's impossible to say which song played by Kent is the most beautiful. All of songs played by Kent become masterpieces.
th-cam.com/video/OS_4chwb4AU/w-d-xo.html
@@assaokinoshita3820No this one is it for me. 😂 It's so beautiful.
listen to the bass so consistent!
With only your ten fingers you managed to produce the sound of a whole band, and a very good one too. Thank you very much for this moment of grace.
His right hand is a lady's hand tbf
He got 20 fingers, half was invincible😂
You forgot his wrist as well he's using to slap the guitar, but yes
That's the power of fingerstyle, truly one man band of all time
I think no other fingerstyle player can top this arrangement and performance with the same song. This playstyle is on another level. His right hand is a cyborg. 😀
isn't the hands, its the arrangement is insane.
@@johncabrera4289 lol it's most definitely both
Check out Paolo gans playing God cover that was a next level fingerstyle too with some percussion
@@lofy-_-8953 yeah, fr, the part at 2:00 in that cover was really impressive with the percussion.
yes lots of nuance in this arrangement. Not "over-played". It is superb. This guy is the very best in the world at what he does.
Nothing is missing, dude plays everything in this great song, wow , my daughter singing along, it’s so perfect Kent you bring joy to my home ….
Glad to see you enjoying more of Kent these days
@@cmdrvarna of course,he’s really good
Waiting for your new reaction video of kents covers 😄
Yes, this! The whole arrangement; amazing.
Glasses Kingdom...have you listened to Ken's rendition of Chicago 25 or 6 to 4?
１音１音を 大切に 丁寧に演奏している感じ。
作曲者冥利につきるだろうなぁ。
喜んでるんじゃないかなぁ。
月の上で。
Thats absolutely ridiculous. Most talented guy on YT.
I WISH MJ HAD THE CHANCE TO LISTEN TO THAT
SUCH A GREAT TALENT
These harmonics!!! Regular people have left and right sides to their brain. Kent has left, right, north, south, east, west, top, bottom, and more. It's simply amazing what you do!
Lol😅😂
You’ve done it again my man!
I would love to see him play this accompanied by an equally talented vocalist. Well done young man.
I agree with no overdub ( wouldn't need it w a vocalist ) and a half step slower .He is amazingly crisp .
Every time I see this young man it's like he's playing hands-free and his heart is plucking the strings
What a comment ❤
Has anyone considered Kent might be an alien. His playing is not of this world.
I AGREE!
It's like he's playing 5 guitars at once 😳
he is 😉
I agree 100% - this cannot be achieved by a human
It's the only logical explanation.
Music is the universal language. Kent Nishimura is way beyond his years. He's a special gift we all should enjoy.
I fully understand how bold this statement is but I do believe that currently there is nobody else who plays this well. It's flawless. There's nothing missing. Nothing. It's really difficult to comprehend just how good this guy is.

I now go to the gym. should i keep playing guitar and start yt? I have no music theory skills.
The best thing I've heard on Fingerstyle so far!!!
There are two types of people on this world. People who dont know kent, and people who absolutely adore kent
Wow. Even the first 25 seconds of this song seem completely out of the reach of anyone I know. Tapping harmonics with the right hand while strumming and working the fretboard with the left hand, and everything timed perfectly. Incredible!
yes that was absolutely mindblowing ; i couldn't believe my eyes and ears
100% agreed, Kent's ear and skill level are completely off the charts, best arranger and acoustic player I've ever seen and heard
Harmonics are so hard especially to get them so crisp. And then he’s playing melody on top of it. Stop it! 😂
i listened while working. stoped to see how many are playing… Needed a few seconds to figure out whats going on there :-) Out of reach for me
Not to mention he’s still tapping the beat at the same time as all that too lol
Either you are or you're not....this is is.....I love this guy. What a gift
これはすごい．伝説級です．印象的な低音部とか転調とか原曲のかっこいいところをしっかり盛り込んで全体の統一感があり，単なる「ギター1本にしてはすばらしい演奏」を凌駕する，原曲と比較できるレベルの心を動かす演奏でした．ありがとうございます．
Bravo, Uda!
言いたい事、既に言われてた。
そのコメント、世界で一番最初に言ったの俺な。
One of the best renditions of the anthem of my life. Man in the mirror should be a standard.
KENT Deserves 10Million view at least. SUPREME GOLD STANDARD of how a guitar should be played and fully utilized.
イントロの美しいハーモニクスを聴いただけで、この曲のアレンジがどれほど素晴らしいかという事をすぐに感じました✨
最後まで息を止めて聴きました🤭💓
この後、ヘッドホンで聴いたら涙がら出るかも⁈🤣💓💓
ライブで聴くのが、コワイくらい楽しみです〜♪♪♪
マイケルが聴いたら、きっと涙するはず！！
いつも素晴らしいギターをありがとう💕
やっぱりKent Nishimura は世界一のギタリストやと思います✨✨✨🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This Dude seriously! It's mind-boggling how he does it. Simply outstanding. Kent is the GOAT.
Geeee... it is like 2 or 3 Guitarists playing! Well done... amazing performance! 😊😊😊
I wish we could live in a world where we could sit in any social setting and play music like this without people acting like it’s cringe or the worst thing they’ve ever heard because it’s not trendy, this is beautiful and people need to stop being ignorant.
💯
Maaan the precision on his picking fingers is unreal. To keep the resonance and depth on those picks without dampening the other chords is unreal, then throw in the percussion to boot. To say this man is talented is in an understatement. Annnd hes only getting started.
So beautiful to see when an artist has mastered their craft so well, their instruments become an extension of their soul.
I've been on TH-cam for over a decade and I rarely comment on things. Your brain is superior to a normal human being. To be able to play the melody, to harmonize it and have some chords over it with beats? My mind is blown.

Wow, that capo change at 2:47 , from 4th fret to 5th ,was pure magic, completely flawless and without effort. 😳😲
Terrific..
My jaw literally hit the floor when I saw that.
Great change

2:45 just casually changing capo without even flinching WOW, entire thing is a perfection
He plays very precisely, so the sound comes out clean and pleasant, without the harsh squeak of finger dragging on the strings.
Not only are you rocking this song..you playing with emotion..I feel every second...tears in my eyes
今迄聴いてきたマンインザミラーで一番クールなプレイです！
God I love this so much
Just speechless. At this point there's really no words to describe how amazing Kent's playing is.

Well yes, this is the point,..
It's not like that, it is that.
The song is what matters the most when history looks back, and you just did a virtuosic performance of it. Magical!
This beautiful masterpiece performance gives me peace & joy! 🤩

There are few superlatives I can say that everyone else before me hasn't already said... Kent your incredible talent never ceases to amaze. Thank you.
God, I'm gonna crying. This is one of my favorite song of MJ. And you perfectly made it a fingerstyle version.
I better still be around when you hit 1 million subs. If you don't I will loose my faith in people. You certainly deserve it Kent.
As a guitar player, i think this is just unreachable for a normal person...
I agree
That’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard!
Sigh... Kent bringing Pure Genius again. MJ's gotta be smiling down on this Sweet Ear Candy!!!
How is this even humanly possible?!?? My God! INCREDIBLE!
This whole performance was incredible, as always. But I feel the need to mention this specifically: that was the smoothest capo slide I have ever seen! Literally, a “blink and you miss it” skill you’ve just shown us. I cannot get enough of seeing your immense talent grow more and more each time, and I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you so much for all the joy and wonder you bring to anyone who listens!
That capo slide was obvious. You wanna be impressed, check this one out:

@@michaelz6555 I was wondering if you were going to link the rock with you vid.
@@michaelz6555 Thanks for the link. I'd forgotten which song he did that move on. Just watched it again, smooth as butter.
@@michaelz6555 there's also this one which i like th-cam.com/video/CqkNZm31h2M/w-d-xo.html
@@michaelz6555 kinda crazy they both happen right at 2:47...
My God that was amazing! As a lifelong MJ fan, I idolize and obsess over all his unique and intricate vocal phrasings and man, you mimicked them all perfectly on the guitar. You really must have studied the song inside and out. I enjoyed that so much and I am blown away! Well done Sir. Michael would be proud!
