Kent is underrated, I give him five stars easily. Song arrangement is the work of a genius.
Even if the RUclips algorithm isn't giving this boy the credit he deserves, to the few who watch him, is a happy lot!
One day the algorithm will understand what a truly great musician he is. Then he will go viral. I have seen it happen with Charles Berthold.
@@lashlarue7924 thankyou. He's a beast goodness me never heard of him
@@lashlarue7924 Charles had to resort to davie-fying himself to get over the hump. Even davie knows just playing is a tough row to hoe. The maturity required to appreciate it is in short supply online.
Blessed bunch
When he started the solo I was on the floor. Wonderful playing.
Thank you Kent. You give me hope for the future of music. I'm almost 80. I will find your music and listen.
Keeping the beat in the bass and swinging the melody is a borderline super power..
Some musicians inspire others to follow in their footsteps. Kent inspires us to just watch and enjoy. There's almost zero chance of any other mortal following in his footsteps! Masterful, as always! Even if we could somehow learn Kent's technique, which would take any of us decades to do, we would never be able to match his flawless sense of style, timing, musicality. To achieve all those things flawlessly in every song takes more than skill. It's a gift. And Kent has given that gift back to the world with every one of his masterpieces.
Amen. One love .reinventing threshold of humans
So well said. Every one of his videos feels like a gift.
I've been playing guitar for 8 years now and followed his style. I took his performance as inspiration and applied it on my own but of course it can't be better than Kent. His a master.
Agree to all of your words. Feels like you took them out of my mouth.
Hear hear
For me the best version on guitar
He is the number one guitarist today.
Bravo!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant! I am speechless! Kent's style is a combination of Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, and Pete Huttlinger all in one!! Phenomenal!!!
Excellent! I would pay to see Mr. Benson's reaction to this. I'm still trying to figure out why Kent Nishimura isn't world famous and getting millions of views...am I the only one?
you are not the only one.
Everyone wonders
I follow Kent and have never heard of George Benson in my life. Maybe that will give you hope. 👍
I have been just as impressed with Kent's playing and interpretation of tunes. No you are not the only one who see's and hears the talent . However the record industry is barely hanging on because of the internet the freedom of marketing players and no need for a usual corrupted record company entertainment industry contract . Where they ( record lables) own master recordings of artist who eventually don't gain much in royalties because of the corperate monopoly . It takes a lot of money for a development deal for artist . But freedom of the market place , gives the artist to record and release in any type of music genre , rock , country , pop , indie , etc....

You won't like the answer. The masses/ millions of clicks don't grasp talent or soul. They want baggy pants, tattoos, and auto-tune. Consider ourselves to be a lucky minority who can value the beautiful magical thing Kent does with a guitar.
Playing any George Benson tune is tough. Especially with the tonality Kent plays with. But Kent doesn't just play George's solo parts, He's playing percussions while playing the baseline and background all while playing lead. Crazy man! Amazing!
Just amazing as usual Kent!! Your playing is just mind blowing. And you focus all that amazing technique in total service of the song you are playing. No wasted self-indulgent fancy stuff. Love it!! Keep up the great work!
Huge GB fan. Kent's change of chords and lead guitar while maintaining rhythm and bass is out of this world. He really make them look easy but in reality the level of difficulty is outrageous
I just saw George Benson n posted it on RUclips under Localguy8 George Benson enjoy n others too
Playing sooo well should be forbidden (however I’m addict). While You play those wonderful songs, my own guitar gently weeps…
Very elegant.
There is a passage that liteeally drives me crazy and it ix exactly when you change drummjng with the thumb from the body of the guitarr to the xtrings
AMAZING.!!!!!!
UH.......I forgot.........unattainable as always.
In case you didn't know it, humans aren't supposed to be able to do this.
この世にまだこんなすごい方がいらっしゃったとは！好きな曲たくさんカバーされているので今片っ端から聴かせていただいています。
uh.....uh......uh......uh.....uh.......uh......I'm sorry....I don't know what to say......as a "failed" guitarist.....'uh' seems appropriate.........and wow...just masterful, and, yeah, I'll pitch in to watch George's reaction
最近、ケントさんのことをRUclipsで知りました。
すごく気に入ってしまい、ケントさんのアルバム４枚、全部購入してしまいました。
CD買ったのは15年ぶりです。
私は、Men At Work が好きなのですが、 Who Can It Be Now? は良かったです。
Overkill という曲を弾いてくれると嬉しいです。
Could't have timed this one any better brother. I'm going to see George in concert tomorrow night here in Sydney. Magnificent arrangement.
It was a great song when the late Leon Russell performed it. George Benson made it his own. This is a great arrangement. I think I will need to listen to it several times to let it digest. 👍
amazing performance
Exactly
It was written by Leon Russell
Don't forget Karen Carpenter's rendition also, was great as well.
ive lost words to decribe how insane good this guy is... i have yet to meet anyone else able to use these techniques all at the same time while keeping the groove going on and making it sound like the whole band let alone writing the arrangement in a different tuning .. its just mindblowing
Beautifully played….
As usual, legendary song choice combined with out of this planet skill.
George Benson is one of my favourite guitarist, he did well covering songs that if you don’t know the original you would think it’s Bensons …. You did a marvellous job with this the chord choices are great and I love the bass notes they allow the chords to sound so rich…. Great Job again Kent
Oh, and that riff at 2:43? WHEW! Massive / epic / smooth / radd / tight / neato.....I'll find the right word, give me a minute.....
Kent does things with the acoustic guitar that I have never imagined possible. It's just nuts!
Nice! Bought your book and can't play a single tune. Pretty sure I will never be able to play any of your arrangements, but I'm OK with that. Play on player!
I bought it as well, it's taken me 2 years to learn 4 songs, the 4 easiest songs that is. In 16 years of playing fingerstyle guitar I've never came across anything close to Kent's mastery of the instrument.
I’ve been playing for almost 8 years. Its taken me about 3 1/2 months of practicing almost everyday to get down his arrangement of “What You Won’t Do For Love” 🫠
wow!!!!! hundred times wow!!! the original author is Leon Russell and his version maybe is the worse of all...sergio mendes version is very good also george benson's is ok, but this is incredible....
Absolutely awesome. You're the best Kent!
Outstanding
Fantastico, incredibile every time
This cant be just practise that meets the eye. Its musicianship that emerges such flow.
Respect, your talent and devotion is amazing, realy beautiful
Ok... I am becoming addicted to the effect of what it feels like this reinvented skill in my ears... Absolutely amazing. I didn't know humans have so much potential!
finest song leon russell ever wrote ..excellent guitar.loved this
So, so good! Kent has a good ear for this masterpiece! Perfection!! He just established himself as a superb jazz guitarist. His alternate tuning and arrangement skills are masterful.
So, so good!!! Incredible orchestration as always, and beautifully played!
Kent, you are my favorite guitarist of all time. Steve Vai has nothing on you, sir. Please keep doing what you do.
comparing apples to oranges, sir.
@@YinFuBG (I just needed to pick a cool/great enough virtuoso to make a comparison. 😉)
Steve Vai is for electric guitar nerds . Kent is for great music fan
@@benjoshd3386 I agree 100%, but I needed another genius musician with whom to compare Kent. The overall level of virtuosity is comparable.
Phenomenal!
Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
VERY NICE THANK YOU FOR SHARING
GREAT TALENT 😊👍✌😊✌🎸🎀🎸🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟T.A.RHOADS
There are no words to describe just how stellar this is Kent. BRAVO Sir.
Amazingly talented person ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💖
A beautiful arrangement of this song. The quality of the performance does justice to another legendary musician. I hope you realise Kent you are in the same league.
This boy is a genius
Kent is our one man band. Wonder if Kent can sing along sometime?
Sick! With the guitar solo, chords, bass, and percussion at the same time.
This is great
Just DOPE!!!
Have heard many acoustic solo guitar plays for this song. Kent Nishimura's the BEST!!!
This is just beautiful
MR Kent is the best guitarist in the world
Don’t be silly. He’s the best in the world at being Kent Nishimura. Very fine musician, I’ll give you that.
To me, the most extraordinary fingerstyle guitarist, far ahead better reknown older or present ones.
Just found this master! Big fan!
The Nishimura groove on full display.
Really nice arrangement, really enjoyed listening!
Beauuuutiful!
It'll only let me click the like button once! Truly amazing talent!
Que frase! 2:43
Stuck on you, Lionel Richie, please, I'm your fan here in Brazil.
Grande talento! Mi hai fatto passare più di 1 ora ad ascoltarti facendomi stare bene. Grazie e continua così.
As always, such beautiful talent, And your choice of music is always such a joy to listen to. Thank you Mr. Kent, I think we all love how you play with an emotional rhythm of such depth. Stay blessed my young friend and keep safe, the world is in a crazy place right now and we need a Island of solitude to rest.
yes sir . thank you always Kent! ive upgraded my headphones just for your play.
😂😂😂😂
same lol xD
Im always entertained by your music.
Very fine indeed! 😎👍
Those lush, tasty chords….and soloing over the beat towards the end….LOVE IT! 😍
Only 2 performers have taken this song to its best. Karen was a great vocalist, and Kent is guitar! Bringing back yesteryear memories and goosebumps everytime! Thanks for sharing Kent.
I would dare to say one of the best finger style arrangers in the world right now! I hope you release another book with transcriptions! It has been a blast, challenging, and rewarding working through the arrangements in your book. 🙏
Pure beauty. Not sure sure what else to say except, wow Kent, Amazing and thank you!
Tuning: Bb F C F Ab C - really? Regardless, awesome performance.
I never get tired of listening to this cover. Thank you!
Переданы тончайшие ньансы гармонии и одновременно сохранен характер композиции. Гениально, огромное спасибо за праздник, который дарит Ваш талант.
I’ve loved George Benson’s version for several decades. This version is excellent, well done!
Must be nice to have the long fingers necessary to pull songs like this off.
So lovely and transcending. Bravo Kent another wonderful arrangement.
yeah this is so cool
Another smooth version of a classic song. Nice job Kent!
I am speechless! What an amazing artist!!
Kent, you're just amazing! You haven't disappointed yet. You pick just the right bits, that go into a song, and keeps the tune fresh and recognizable!
I thoroughly enjoyed that Kent. So grateful for your presence in this world. Fantastic cover of Masquerade. Hit all the original licks.
That was excellent. Loved it so much!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽😁
Wow, what another great rendition of a singing guitar player. I still have Benson's album from back in the late 70s.
yes!
Sounds great! I’m thinking some Earl Klugh in your future too. 🤘 Wait what. 😳. I hear three voices, bass line, melody, percussion and at the end a smoking lead riff 😳 all with just two hands! 🥳👍🤘
he has done a Earl Klugh cover - check out "Living Inside Your Love" uploaded when he was just 16-ish?
This gem was written and recorded by Leon Russell on his 1972 masterful Carney album.
Fine work Kent.
I give up music. That was just nuts. My God you're excellent Kent
probably my favorite kent N song of all time -- and that's saying a lot!
He understands that fretboard.
this is another superb arrangement from kent. got so much soul from someone so young!!!!
he's gonna end up with a willie nelson hole in that guitar if he persists with that tapping.
Reina Del Cid brought me here😎👍👍
Beautiful
4 hours had passed and theres 7 horrible people who disliked this calming video. keep it up ken.
They are jealous , they have no talent 🥸😝😎! This Kent is what you will hear in heaven! They may not make it there, being that angry 😡 🙄🤓
💯
This is beyond perfect!
OMG!!! This is amazing. Kent is divine.
First. Always a pleasure listening to your masterpiece.
Beyond belief
Great melody and arrangement, Kent….Thank you for sharing!
woohoo...another Kent-styled classic!
If you're taking requests, how about Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim . thanks in advance!
