We know that many acoustic solo guitarists all over the world have made many arrangements of THIS well-known Disney movie theme song for fingerstyle guitar. Frankly speaking, some of them were good and the rest of them were so-so. However, I am sure that Kent Nishimura, a 16-year-old Japanese fingerstyle guitarist, finally created the ultimate version of this song as a fingerstyle guitar arrangement. Is there anyone who doesn't agree with me on this planet?
Sculptored into perfection !! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ Looking forward to your next videos with a smile on your face, say, Blue Rondo A La Turk or Rhapsody In Blue 💙 よろしくお願いします🎶🎵💪👍
I am not ashamed to say this in the least. But if you read this Kent, this legitimately moved me to tears at the beauty of your skill and mastery of the complexities of the piece. Never stop playing as you have an incredible talent. If you ever have a bad day I hope this comment comes back to your mind to remind you that music is a universal language and can move people in ways they never expected. Thank you for sharing this with the world!!
This kid ... he is one of the rare ones who knows that the music doesn’t just come from the fretboard. It comes from deep within the soul. I’m moved to tears. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with the world.
one thing I like about his style is he's not bombarding his arrangement with alot of "tapping", other players just kills the vibes with so much tap making the piece like a "jingle" 😂
This so beautiful. My daughter has loved Beauty and the Beast ever since she was a little girl. She sent this to me, she would like to walk down the aisle with this version. I could not think of a more perfect song.
Words fail me. What a beautiful arrangement! You are a guitar SAVANT! You just didn't do a single voice melody arrangement, it's a harmonised melody, just like the DUET version! You are a on higher level than the others I've seen. You are a GENIUS!!!!
I've seen a lot of amazing guitar players. This is something different. I'm just, I can't I...I... I'm speechless, I actually teared up because it was such a beautiful display of musical genius!
This is one of the most beautiful acoustic cover compilation I ever heard. This song is beautiful alone and this guy made it even more pure. Imagine listening to this and in the end of it, you are alone in silence and seems like that moment won't change!
Absolutely BREATHTAKING! And that's an understatement. What an incredibly gifted young musician. Although as gifted a musician as Kent is, I guarantee you that he works his butt off! His technique is flawless and his musical ideas fresh and alive, and that comes with real WORK and attention to detail. He is such an inspiration to me. I've been a fingerstyle guitarist/teacher for 33+ years, but ALWAYS a student ready to learn something new and this young man does not disappoint. What a WEALTH of knowledge for anyone like myself interested in arranging for guitar. Oh and his unique ability to hear the bass, which is usually more difficult to hear than the melody, is incredible! Damn if he doesn't nail it every time. I could go on and on about this incredible guitarist. Learn as much as you can from him, because you won't get a better musical education. Looking forward to more. Peace.
You should do a reaction to his vids. Maybe some vids of you attempting some of his work. Would like to get a reaction from an actual fingerstyle player. Cheers
Aside from the exceptional playing, as everyone already commented, I like to add that your use of dynamics is equally superb. You know when to build up a moment, then play softly and delicately to resolute, then build up to another moment again. Great manipulation of feelings.
I know some masters of guitar finger style out there, but they're not enough to make me subscribe their channel until I found Ken's channel and whatched his videos... I already subscribed Ken's channel... Ken really know how to make good arrangement...
Kent has this uncanny talent to render an already beautiful song into a guitar piece that is so much more interesting and so "peacefully calm and transcendental".
Great arrangement. You get the true effects of your music when you listen with headphones or speakers. The sound of the bass strings and the treble is absolutely well in sync . Keep up the good work. I'll pay to watch you play live
If you live in the US, George Lowden Guitars has invited Kent to perform at the 2023 Namm Show the runs from April 13-15 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
This takes me back to when I use to watch this movie with my babies. Great memories and your version really tugs the heart strings. You bring joy to the world and honor to your entire family Kent. Thank you
this is perfect... others who have covered this song loses their beat or sometimes tempo at some parts of the song... but this... i have nothing to say. for me its perfect
This was soooooo beautifully done. Thank you again for playing finger style guitar with fingernails, it so brightens up the sound and makes the final product much more refined. You did a really wonderful job with this one Kent.
This is an easy song to do in guitar, but NOT the way you do it Kent. Those harmonics are flawless, and almost impossible for anyone else to do. And those overtone with the capo.. wow.. I've never seen anyone did that. You've done so much wonder it's perfect. Thank you.
Wow! ... just .. oh wow! Kid, you have made my day, many days. Thank God for your gift and talent, and thank you for sharing it with the world. This inspires me to make some art with your music, it's so good! Thank you!
Whoever discovers Kent's channel will eventually watch his other video after video. Like i did. Man your so damn good. Please upload more covers.
Yup
Just happened to me!
Me toooo!
me 3!
So true

Suoer dupe agree💯
........and what about the harmonics? ,outrageous beauty embellishments.

Kanaho's arrangement is much better..
couldn't agree more!
As a guitar player, I have admired many musicians. But I have never been as addicted to this person. God bless you.
Same with me.
God bless You Too
Check out Sungha Jung, his really good too

Beautifull words!
This is so far the MOST COMPLETE instrumentatal rendition of the song. Feeling every detail of the original track
Check out kanaho222. Its wonderful
@@fingerpickingood1900 With utmost respect to kanaho, Kent's arrangement is just on a whole another level.
I definitely agree 💯👍!
This kid ... he is one of the rare ones who knows that the music doesn’t just come from the fretboard. It comes from deep within the soul. I’m moved to tears. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with the world.
So do I
The way he preserves the spirit of the songs he covers, with only one instrument, is insane.
How about the string?
one thing I like about his style is he's not bombarding his arrangement with alot of "tapping", other players just kills the vibes with so much tap making the piece like a "jingle" 😂
💯
This so beautiful. My daughter has loved Beauty and the Beast ever since she was a little girl. She sent this to me, she would like to walk down the aisle with this version. I could not think of a more perfect song.
I wonder how the groom would feel about that? Beauty and the beast and all....lol
I listened to his videos before I sleep and it's comforting.
Kent is probably one of the most fingerstyle player who gotta verry smooth sound in all genre hes like a orchestra.. deserve millions subs..👍
Words fail me. What a beautiful arrangement! You are a guitar SAVANT! You just didn't do a single voice melody arrangement, it's a harmonised melody, just like the DUET version! You are a on higher level than the others I've seen. You are a GENIUS!!!!
I noticed too that everytime the 2 singers sing at the same time, Kent plays 2 strings for the vocals part.
I've seen a lot of amazing guitar players. This is something different. I'm just, I can't I...I... I'm speechless, I actually teared up because it was such a beautiful display of musical genius!
I could never imagine to hear the sounds like this created by one guitar. And the capo slides were so unique
OK,...I listened to this over and over,.....and I thought about my wonderful wife and cried my eyes out! Awesome!! Just totally awesome!!!
This is the most beautiful song played on guitar i've ever Heard in my life 🙏 bravo !
No one plays this original version of Beauty and the Beast way better than him.I kept coming back just to watch and hear this over and over again.
Lots of people can play guitar, but few can make the instrument sing. What an amazing artist.
This is one of the most beautiful acoustic cover compilation I ever heard.
This song is beautiful alone and this guy made it even more pure.
Imagine listening to this and in the end of it, you are alone in silence and seems like that moment won't change!
"Just Once" song I listened to a thousand times since 1981...Listening to Kent's acoustic version is coming close to that number!
SICK how he dragged the capo upXD. Respect for that moveXD.
lols, got a new trick
Lol...it's really amazing!
Some kind of guitar sorcery I tell you...
I read this comment and then watched for it. It turned my brain into shit.
Ianthe22 check sunha jung cover of my love will go on

THIS is what guitar playing truly is. It's been a long time since I've chocked up over a song, but this one got to me. Beautifully done.
Mesmerized by all the technique in such a simple song.
left hand: beauty
right hand: beast
together: ❤️
Were you talking about the nails?
@@marbymacapobre8050 haha

This is a top comment lad!

Beyond Kent’s incredible playing, who else loves his guitar?
I know some masters of guitar finger style out there, but they're not enough to make me subscribe their channel until I found Ken's channel and whatched his videos... I already subscribed Ken's channel... Ken really know how to make good arrangement...
I thought Hendrix was good and he was but this guy ntakes it a notch higher. Absolute mastery of an instrument and makes it look so easy
i absolutely love the main theme song of Beauty and the Beast and this true artist made me tear up with his amazing skills! Great job!💕
Beyond beautiful , tears where tripping down my face listening to this rendition -WOW!
There are no words to describe this talent. Kent ... please keep playing tunes that will be played for generations
Smooth!!!!!
I have been playing for 43 years and you are one of the most musical players I have ever heard
Well done
Kent has this uncanny talent to render an already beautiful song into a guitar piece that is so much more interesting and so "peacefully calm and transcendental".
The ending is absolutely sublime
right??????????😢😢😢😢😢

Kent, I must admit you are inspiring me to take up regular practice once more. You are truly an inspiration. Fantastic performance. 👏👏👏👏
