No way! I didn't expect to see your comment on here. Huge thanks to Vulf, made me realize how great old school funk, R&B and digged me into that kind of music. Hope to see your performance in Japan someday
Mr Donald Fagen is a perfectionist, a curmudgeons, and a musical genius ... and I'm sure HE would be blown away! I sincerely hope he sees this.
Agree totally, Donald would dig this bigtime
The MASTER of acoustic covers...groove included free...just superb Ken...huge fan👍
That was nothing short of spectacular, capturing the groove, the swing, the harmonic complexity, all the signature moments and licks, and the sly joy of this great record and a band full of virtuosos. A complete triumph of arrangement and performance!
Ditto!!!
Plus, he keeps time like an atomic clock.
Well said. Still can’t believe my ears or eyes. This led me to a rabbit hole I don’t care if I ever come out.
I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing! Kid is unbelievable!
SteelyDan would be so proud, best version I have ever heard.
Excellent Mr. Nishimura! It catches it's tune and it swings.
I guess my guitar in the sulk at me.
My guitar: "why don't you play me like this" 😂😂😂
My guitar was in the bathroom with his pants down watching this video
This is where you are able to not only play but visualize/ hear and feel each instrument including volcals in your head and it just flows out of you...
Again, Steely Dan is hard enough playing with all the instruments. Well done.
Well said.
Nice Playing 🎸 !
I'm a Fan of Steely Dan , (Rickie don't loose that number and Many other Songs ...) .
Sweet Rythm 🎸 !
Kent Nishimura simply one of the greatest solo guitarist of all time
"one of"?!?
fuck dude.. that was amazing.. I can't believe all the parts of the song you express..
Mind COMPLETELY BLOWN🤯
Amazing playing all sections of rhythm and melody…one of my favorite bands😎🔥
This is my warm up piece before I go to the Guitar Beginners Class.
Wow! Just absolutely perfect! And I didn’t think there were any absolutes! Thank you!
Watch out! We don’t need no keyboard player. Um, or bassist or …horns? Just maybe eight fingers and two thumbs. Attached to one guy! Amazing skills and plenty of dedication I’m certain! Endlessly entertaining! Thanks!
The win is that the genius of Steely Dan lives on in the soul of guys like this.
Look it up kids... it's called staying in the pocket and Kent is the master. Incredible!
Pretty freaking good man. I love that song and your fingerstyling is impeccable.
For me, Kent is the best guitarist in the world. He has a gift from God.
Apart from the physical prowess, the voicings of the chords he plays are spot on. As a guitar player, I am totally intimidated by this guy!
It's a beautiful thing to see someone your age with such virtuosity
Absolutely outstanding and amazing. Great great playin. Oh so groovy too.
Im pretty sure there is no one out there who is better than this guy. He plays so clean and manages to sound like he is playing all the instruments in the song. Nobody in the world does it better than Kent. Insane skills
I have to agree. There are a lot of phenomenal guitarists out there, but this guy is in a league of his own.
Cant stop smiling when Im watching Kent play.
Damn, man. You just go from strength to strength, don't you? I hope Donald Fagen sees this - I think he'd be amazed and impressed.
My god man. So freaking awesome. Kept that groove the whole time. 🎉🎉🎉
i remembefr someone did a reaction vid to one of kens covers and came up with the crazyass idea that he developed his technique then sought out songs that fit it. smfh. absurd. he's simply a master playing tunes he likes.
I cant like this enough!!!!
Bravo young man. 👏👏👏
That's the perfect One Man Band. If I close my eyes I can see them three 😎
LOVE LOVE LOVE -- I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED AN ALBUM!!!!

Your comment deserved more likes
Bravo! Superb playing! That captured every aspect of the tune. Amazing !!
Go KENT!!! love your playing! TE cgp.
It is extremely honored to receive another comment from the undisputed guitar legend that you are.
Your kind comment about this cover song with Kent's original arrangement cheer him up in his music career so much.
Holy crap- please get Kent to NYC Town Hall this year. Btw, I was introduced to Andy Mckee's music when he opened for you last year.
OK, I would argue that this kid is pretty damn cool. Now don’t let it go to your head OK?
Wow. TE. I'll see you at 'Blues on Broadbeach' this Friday... Can't wait.👍
Great song,just keep on groovin!!!!🤠👍👍👍👍👍
It is really fortunate that Kent is here with us, while we are still alive
I feel like I’m back in kindergarten with the excitement of hearing and seeing something new for the first time. Wow amazing bro.
This guitarist is so underrated! You deserve million subs Kent!
Yep
you're mad. he is not as popular as he should be, but I have never heard anyone who has seen him say he is underrated.
Yass!!
And then you have these floozies dressed in the skimpiest outfits whose finger movements on a fretboard is like a bull in a china shop getting over a million+ views. It's a travesty and so damn wrong!
After reading MANY comments to his videos I'd say he is not underrated at ALL.
My God , how amazing U are KENT 😘❤️❤️❤️👍
Never seen anyone play steelydan like this👍🍻
I would love to see the bands reaction to their song covers
Steely Dan as a band was miraculously complicated and groovy. Playing this song like this defies all explanation. I literally can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing.
I just got turned on to Mr Nishimura and NOW I'm a FAN FOR LIFE!!! DUDE IS BAD ASS!!!! Peace & Gratitude to him!!!
I predict that at some point in the future Kent will become the youngest member of the select group of Certified Guitar Players. What a talent!
Kent this is the most impressive arrangement I have ever heard. I hope Donald Fagen sees/hears this! 😵💫🤯❤
From of big fan of the Dan and guitar player, "AMAZING".
YO!!!!!
For real bro!!!!?
I've never seen anyone hit Steely Dan "Hey 19" on an Acoustic like that before in my entire 58yrs of living. Bravo!!!
Can't believe this is just one instrument. He makes it look so easy.
Kent is the John Wick of guitarist...he is just killing it!
Amazing. Clearly, no one was honest with Kent when he was learning guitar and told him this was impossible. (smile)
Who knew there was a full band inside a guitar? Well obviously...Kent Nishimura. This is especially outstanding.
219th subscriber LIKE; 719th desktop Steely Dan fan listen & view... another gem COVER.
Amazing! The good ones always make it look easy.
Watching your absolute control and dominance over the 6 string is amazing and heartbreaking to everyone else that thought we could actually play the guitar. I'm going upstairs to cry for awhile.
Can I come with you?🙁
That was awesome! Hard song as you excellent! Thank you !
Brilliant how he works in the arrangements of the songs as well as the melodies, all with perfect intonation and phrasing. Phenomenal playing.
Incredible playing! Larry Carlton would be very pleased with that performance as I was!
Those hands are a global treasure. Phenomenal 👍
My mind is totally blown… Totally!
Finally!! A new song for me to listen to 100 times over
Same here.
Freaking amazing Kent! I would not have believed if I hadn’t seen it!
How can anyone be this good??!! Anyone want to buy an acoustic guitar?
I cant wrap my head around this. Bravo!!
I'm guessing by the way Kent was REALLY grooving along with this he's a huge Steely Dan fan.
I can't believe what I'm seeing and hearing, damn that is so good!
Amazing cover by an amazing talent of an amazing song by an amazing band!!!
Great Steely Dan tune and a really good job playing it . Well done what a pleasure to hear .
わかる人にしか響かない選曲。聞いたすべての人が驚愕する演奏。
ギターで弾きたい曲を最も自由に演奏可能な達人の妙技に驚嘆です。
Forget prodigy. Kent is a GENIUS! Somewhere up there, Joe Pass is smiling. Also, he maintains a fantastic groove throughout this!
Kent's success isn't based just on technique, but also on his remarkable sensitivity to good music from many genres.
Very very well done Kent!! A long round of applause for both your beautiful playing and nice transcription!! Bravo!! 🎉❤
Most respectable Musicians wouldn't even dare to try to do Steely Dan justice. Yet, you brought a pleasant smile to my face. I couldn't help but laugh at how good this was, I actually laughed to myself and said "this is CRAZY..."
Amazing finger work! Love it... time well wasted at work
It always trips me out hearing that many parts come out of one guitar and two hands at the same time. Bass, percussion, rhythm, and melody lines. 🤯
... I have been playing for 50yrs now. This guy plays and I sit there and stare in amazement. He is like a machine. I can't figure out any of the stuff he does. It's a whole different method. I'd sure like to learn it.......... An amazing guitarist.
This is the groove
After this one...I just can't imagine how Kent would play glamour profession from the same album!!!
What a great job !! Love this song and you played it perfectly sir !! Bravo
Excellent! Thank you and nice fade out too! 🙏
That’s amazing.
Kent Nishimuraさんが日本人であることを誇りに思います
The maestro is back!!
Some guitar youtubers get hundreds of thousand viewers in a day and played easier stuffs. Imo Kent arrangements shows more depth that only real musicians can appreciate. It is crazy that he has less viewers.
I agree
Exquisite! And you make it look easy! ❤❤❤❤
I feel lucky that I stumbled upon Kent's music. Completely unique and uplifting... Love his song choices.
This one of the more impressive things Ive seen on RUclips!
Wow, I love the way you got all the subtleties in there. Skate a little lower now. Nice.
Phew!! Some highflying guitar playing here.
I have heard a famous guitarist describe the the guitar described as a whole orchestra in one instrument.
That’s true, but only in the right hands. You have the right hands!
Amazing playing, thanks for sharing it!
Wow !! Super Talent !! Kent Nailed It !!
Stunning!!! I heard Don Ross mention your name and I'm so glad he did. I'm praying that I'm able to catch you live someday soon.
WOW young man, you have an incredible talent there. Very, VERY well done as always!!!
I'm happy to update the video after a long time! How are you?
Absolutely amazing!
Grooving all the way.
I’ve taught guitar the college level since 1971 and have seen thousands of guitarists performing countless pieces. There are people who have skill. There are people who have talent. There are people who have the gift. You have it all. Congrats, but don’t let it get to your head.
He's not from arrogant America, his roots are humble. I smell jealously. No need to throw shade.
Outstanding.
Thanks for your share.
I’ll be right back, I’m burning my guitar in the back yard
I'll drive the car over my guitar.
Lol
Feed off of him. Let him inspire you!
🤣
Me too mate, me too
Just the best Kent, so good to see this, thanks.
Listening to Kent play music that was designed for a group to play is like listening to a Picasso. Kent replicates an entire band with one guitar just like Picasso plants a vivid image in your mind with a few lines. Brilliant.
