Beethoven once referred to the guitar as "the little orchestra," which is certainly possible in the right hands...and he definitely possesses those. One of the best listeners/players I've ever seen.
Speechless... just amazing. I've been listening to this song since it came out in 1973... Young Mr. Nishimura apparently wasn't born until 2003, and didn't have a guitar to play until 2008.. He did not waste his Time... I bet he has put in thousands and thousands of hours of practice ... and now has shared this timeless masterpiece that he has mastered and made his own.. Simply outstanding, Mr. Nishimura..... thank you.
Words don’t do this justice. I heard every instrument and every word. The creativity, attention to detail and seemingly effortless talent is truly remarkable. He has also showcased how brilliant the piece of music by Floyd really is.
So true. Low budget entertainment by anyone without need of expensive equipment. But, as usual. Greed of people and rich, came in with their mom and dad's accounts buying 5k USD cameras and backdrops building studios and using high end software to show a phone or anything .....millions of subs. But monetizing works for them so why not? I'm not just a hater. I suck as a RUclipsr too. LMAO This young man Kicks Ass
Jesus Christ loves you so much that he died for you to take your sins on himself. He is offering you forgiveness and life with Him forever. Take that offer please???!
I have been listening to this song for the better part of my life. It's my birthday song, the first thing I listen to as the clock passes midnight. This is the first song my son heard. I have never heard anyone capture the essence of this song, as you did here. You've captured every damn nuance of this song just beautifully. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us plebs.
This young man has left me speechless. Who would have thought to use the strings to make the clock ticking sounds. Brilliant and an impressive way to honor the original song, though make it his own.
It’s otherworldly. I’m running out of superlatives for this guy and when the words “Time”, “Pink Floyd” and “Kent Nishimura” appeared on my screen, I exclaimed “OH YES!” out loud. It’s an event for me now when Kent puts a new track up.
Playing a Pink Floyd song on an Acoustic guitar, especially one that has one of the greatest solos ever written in the history of rock and roll, and then to bend those strings on the 19th fret to pitch on an “Acoustic”... You sir are a legend. Thanks for doing such a good job on one of the most iconic songs from the greatest Rock band of all “Time”
You young sir have warmed my heart with memory's of hearing this in person at many Pink Floyd concerts when I was not much older then you are now. Absolutely amazing talent. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’ve been playing guitar for 36 years and have seen some pretty awesome guitar ideas. This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. The metronome with the fingernails was epic, but he just took a bunch of pretty basic techniques and combined them into the best idea ever.
@@mokaryn naaah he's more insane than animenz, animenz is great but there's pianists above him, and he didn't invent a new way to play the instrument like Kent did. Also his most difficult piece is his unravel and it had a lot of great covers, as for Kent we have yet to hear someone cover one of his songs and not sound like shit.
Worth 1B views, holy smokes. Unbelievable capture of their elite melodic capabilities and Gilmore’s unrivaled feel. Oh and playing the parts of 4 band members.
Not even david gilmour could play this any better. Kent is a living legend, right up there with yuja wang, he makes me want to live another 50 years just so I can hear what he comes up with.
I can't believe how well he played this. Just using the whole body of your guitar. Absolutely beautiful. I don't think any Pink Floyd intro has ever been played this well on an acoustic guitar, not even by Floyd.
I had my husband guess what song this was and he immediately got it. He says he listened to it a lot while being deployed. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏! You never cease to amaze me, sir! Thank you!
I'm such a musical snob - and have a nearly perfect memory and pitch. And this guy knocks it out of the PARK. Every rhythm spot on, every little note & nuance. Well done, man. Very well done.
Kent Nishimura is to finger-style guitar what Bobby Fischer was to chess. It's simply ridiculous the amount of talent he has. Looking forward to following his musical journey and seeing where it takes him.
No pun intended here, but this band's music is timeless. Each generation is continuing to discover the beauty and resilience of Pink Floyd's songs and the unique sound of their music.
WHOAH! Holy $#!T!!! I did not, could not, and would not have EVER expected that, when I randomly clicked on this video! My FAVORITE song of all TIME, has just been done justice! WOW!!!
I say this as a life long die hard "Pink Floyd Fan Boy"...Elegant perfection. That said...Even more now then ever..I want so much to hear a Kent Nishimura original !..LET ER RIP TATER CHIP!!
Jeez loueez.... Speechless.... Blown away by your talent and dedication... With all the horrible things that go on in this world of ours... You young man just made me so happy.. Thank you 🌹
Sitting here with goosebumps running up and down my arms and neck listening to this- I can't even come up with the proper adjective to describe how lush, how beautiful, how utterly perfect this is.
@Asao Kinoshita I couldn't agree with you more! I have a family full of musicians and one member is a classically trained pianist. My only issue with their playing is they refuse to let go and just play! You know? They could be so much better and greater than they are but they're afraid to let loose. Ken does not have this problem. I'm a latina female sax player, I have no issues letting loose. Now if the police would just let me be, I'll be off the table and out of Olive Garden in a jiffy!
Unbelievable!!! You may be the greatest guitarist ever, in history. I play and sing this song and have done so with a band with excellent musicians. Kent, you do on a single guitar (overlayed), what it takes 4 musicians to perform. I am continually amazed at your ability to do the entire arrangement. Non-musicians appreciate your talent, but probably not as much as musicians do. Thank you for your dedication to your art.

Guitar player here for 60 years. One of the most beautiful things I’ve EVER heard! Well done!
Also: one the most inspirational for me personally…..
Not a guitar player for 60 years and one of the best things I’ve heard.
Yur right guys, I've had many good musician friends over the years.
Kent is in a league like Tommy Emanuel.
I spilled a beer in a guitar once and all I can say is; "Ahhh, memories...Oh, and that was pretty good, I think I'll have another go."
This guy is so awesome. I've been playing all my life and I'm 64. I wished I could play half as good as this guy. Awesome brother
Time well spent and the time vested
If David Gilmour hasn’t seen this, someone NEEDS to show this interpretation to him. Absolutely mind blowing guitar skills.
I have played music my whole life. Grew up on Floyd. And this is the absolute most awesome thing I have ever witnessed on a guitar.
Agreed 👍🏽
Yes
Houdini
Agreed
Yep.
Beethoven once referred to the guitar as "the little orchestra," which is certainly possible in the right hands...and he definitely possesses those. One of the best listeners/players I've ever seen.
i heard mozart said that
One cannot be "one of the best". The "best" stands alone. One can be one of the "better".
@@DivocwaxThat's silly semantics and you know it, best can be a plural group if you're considering it as "one of the x"
what an idiotic comment @@Divocwax
great comment
On an other level
Speechless... just amazing. I've been listening to this song since it came out in 1973... Young Mr. Nishimura apparently wasn't born until 2003, and didn't have a guitar to play until 2008..
He did not waste his Time... I bet he has put in thousands and thousands of hours of practice ... and now has shared this timeless masterpiece that he has mastered and made his own..
Simply outstanding, Mr. Nishimura..... thank you.
Time...
Kent's version of Comfortable Numb is comparable to the original
This guy took Pink Floyd interpretation to a level I never heard before, blows my mind ; thank you for sharing such wonderful gift
Exactly what I wanted to say...
Clever boy👍
very good but overlaid, two or more tracks playing
@@steveperry3046waa😭
I would love to hear Kent Nishimura cover more Pink Floyd acoustic.
YES
Hands down the most amazing thing I have ever heard played on a guitar!
There is at least two guitar tracks playing
@@steveperry3046 only on the intro where he's playing the clock part. The rest of this is one guitar. Playing the bass and melody at the same time.
Words don’t do this justice. I heard every instrument and every word. The creativity, attention to detail and seemingly effortless talent is truly remarkable. He has also showcased how brilliant the piece of music by Floyd really is.
Brilliant and beautiful!
Exactly. It’s a beautiful thing when someone appreciates a piece of music and puts this type if interpretation on it. You are gifted!!!!
Absolutely brilliant. Just beautiful. I'm 65 years old and have listened to this song for a very long time. I have no more words.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day....
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand waaay
kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
@@Shashi0012waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say
Never have I heard a more beautiful interpretation of a classic rock song. I am in awe.
This is fantastic.
Thanks for this.
I love it.
All the best.

I need every Pink Floyd song by this guy. Simply stunning.
I’m basically bingeing this dude’s videos like a Netflix series right now. Amazing.
Me too.😅
And me too.
Me too
Same
Сосёт твой нетфликс
You just did a service for my ears, thank you! 2025 anyone??
Blows me away how such powerful music can be seemingly simplified, and yet still hold the same emotion.
A good song will always be good in any style
This is what RUclips was meant for.
But they (VERY) often forget...!
Some kind of brilliance
Yes sir.....Exactly right, I am often amazed at the brilliant content we are given......As a gift!

This young man Kicks Ass
What is it supposed to do. But then, it became a tool for illuminati and freemason. And it tries to shape our generation to become worse.
I've never seen anyone playing like this, I mean the whole song including drums, guitar solo, vocal parts and all.. amazing..
This restores my faith in humanity.
Indeed! 🙂
Music and dogs, that's how we know maybe some God loves us....
Jesus Christ loves you so much that he died for you to take your sins on himself. He is offering you forgiveness and life with Him forever. Take that offer please???!
what did i just witness? smooth as butter, 11 out of 10

Well I’m fucking glad the algo served this up 3 years later
likewise
Same here. Now we get to binge watch all of Kent's renditions. Soooo good.
Hit the nail on the head 😂 me too
That harmonic slide is truly absurd.
He's got that Midas touch
THANK YOU! It blew my mind it's insane
How talented can someone be. Man nice
Mesmerizing.....this guy deserves a Grammy Award
Now I am officially impressed
No words for this... Perfect! One man band!!!!
This dude is a bonafide genius.
I've watched this a million times and I still cannot figure out how that slide harmonic at 3:25 is possible.
Vic Wooten does this on bass in Amazing Bass. I was genuinely bumfuzzled.
Wow. Just wow. On so many levels
The most gifted guitarist has once again made life even more worthwhile.
He has to wear the long sleeves because he even gives himself the chills
💕😂
I don´t want be his girl.
Loooooooooooool cracking comment
@@ctihodnymuz72 don't worry it looks like he can do things with his left hand too..
😀
how is it possible for you to be playing alone, and I could hear in my mind the hole (and not just any) band... No words
Człowiek orkiestra. Wielki szacun dla ciebie.
It’s otherworldly. I’m running out of superlatives for this guy and when the words “Time”, “Pink Floyd” and “Kent Nishimura” appeared on my screen, I exclaimed “OH YES!” out loud. It’s an event for me now when Kent puts a new track up.
I born 3 days ago and i find this rendition is the best ever
Astounding. The attention to detail deserving of the highest accolades.
Sets fire to my guitar after 35 years, gives up and takes up coloring books 😢 Good lord just incredible.

Don’t give up bro.keep at it.but no doubt,this kid delights My sorry ass too!
I think my phone heard me playing Time on my acoustic yesterday, and this is the algo's way of saying,
ruclips.net/video/9Deg7VrpHbM/видео.html
So true. Some truly are born with “the gift.”
There'll be someone on RUclips to screw up your self confidence with those colouring books too.
Talk about original!!! That's badass!!! That right there are skills people!!! Pay attention.
with all the craziness in this country atm, it's nice to tune out from the news and just listen to Kent play. thank you.
I follow all the best fingerstyle players that make covers and this guy is absolutely the best, in every version he made. I bow down.
Absolute banger.
Чудово, я в захваті і навіть заздрю! Хлопака молочага, натхнення йому і подальших успіхів! Браво!
Playing a Pink Floyd song on an Acoustic guitar, especially one that has one of the greatest solos ever written in the history of rock and roll, and then to bend those strings on the 19th fret to pitch on an “Acoustic”... You sir are a legend. Thanks for doing such a good job on one of the most iconic songs from the greatest Rock band of all “Time”
a definitive recreation. everything is there with no stone left unturned. bravo.
This guy has a whole band in his head but only two hands and he is still able to make the whole "band" sound out. Wonderful.
Yeah but his left hand has DNA from a demented squid
Brilliant! Kent-San. Domo arrigato gozaimashita
Kent… you are otherworldly.
Welcome, to the machine.
凄く気持ちよく聴かせて貰いました🇬🇧🎶
Wow, he's subtley hitting harmonics that aren't immediately obvious - superb playing
Dude litterally plays the whole song with one guitar. Next level genius.
I sure don't understand 13 thumbs down! If they don't like guitar, why are they even watching? Good job, Kent!
You young sir have warmed my heart with memory's of hearing this in person at many Pink Floyd concerts when I was not much older then you are now. Absolutely amazing talent. Thank you so much for sharing this.

This should have more views. Thus level of talent is insane
3:20 pinch harmonics is just genius composing and beautiful execution
He has his unique style of playing. So good!
You did it again Kent. So true to the song, so respectfull,. Endless talent.
My faovirte fingerstyle guitar player by far :)
Both of you are amazing and have brought joy to me! Thank you
Mine too!! Anyway dear Yoni also your Brothers in Arms and Shine are wonderful
hes legit animenz of guitar

@@ayman5207 unravel is not his hardest piece lol by now it would probably be top 10 but he's made many songs that are harder
3:38 his face knowing that he just nailed the solo is amazing.
absolutely incredible......rhythm, control, intonation....perfection
The guitar solo and the harmony at the same TIME
If his mother only knew
It always fukz my head over 🤯
And the bass, and rythm.. and.. and.. and 🤯
Quelle merveille on ne se lasse pas de l'écouter Magnifique interprétation Bravo et Merci BEAUCOUP

You definitely do sound like a snob. Even when giving a compliment.
Kent Nishimura is to finger-style guitar what Bobby Fischer was to chess. It's simply ridiculous the amount of talent he has. Looking forward to following his musical journey and seeing where it takes him.
Yes, but only a chess player can assess the Bobby's talent. ;-)
@@emolaskertwo words: Jon Gomm. That guy might have something to say about this that even begins to comprehend what this kid is doing with the guitar.
hopefully somewhere different from Bobby's journey.
I've been playing the guitar nearly 30 years and I'm nowhere near as good as this wee guy. Just phenomenal 👏
The knuckle mastery is incredible 🎸
This person did not write this song, Give credit to David Gilmore! "Kent" didnt do nothing but mimic this great song!
No pun intended here, but this band's music is timeless. Each generation is continuing to discover the beauty and resilience of Pink Floyd's songs and the unique sound of their music.
Great way to put it!
I would point out that the pun was fully intended !
WHOAH! Holy $#!T!!! I did not, could not, and would not have EVER expected that, when I randomly clicked on this video! My FAVORITE song of all TIME, has just been done justice! WOW!!!
Not enough superlatives to describe this excellent acoustic arrangement 👏
The one and only finger style of "Time". Bravo !!!

Sitting here with goosebumps running up and down my arms and neck listening to this- I can't even come up with the proper adjective to describe how lush, how beautiful, how utterly perfect this is.
This one of the greatest versions of this song. A masterpiece.
You are absolutely amazing mate. Mr Gilmour would be impressed and how and tf did I not see this sooner.
Beautiful! There are a lot of skilled fingerstyle guitarists on RUclips, but I think your arrangements are the best of them all.
Kent’s arrangements are very faithful to the originals as well, he really gets into the heart of the song.
@Asao Kinoshita I couldn't agree with you more! I have a family full of musicians and one member is a classically trained pianist. My only issue with their playing is they refuse to let go and just play! You know? They could be so much better and greater than they are but they're afraid to let loose. Ken does not have this problem. I'm a latina female sax player, I have no issues letting loose. Now if the police would just let me be, I'll be off the table and out of Olive Garden in a jiffy!
Legend just woke up fr sleep....
@Asao Kinoshita what are you talking about ? She was agreeing with you
He really captures the entire original song
Unbelievable!!! You may be the greatest guitarist ever, in history. I play and sing this song and have done so with a band with excellent musicians.

Fully agree!
Likewise.
Absolutely. .. It's the detail in the complete arrangements (especially the bass line here) that are so magnificent, Kent - I could listen All day
Not just from a technical point of view. The musicality is astounding; chills every time from around 3:41 onwards.
Check out Alexandr Misko, Careless Whisper
It's a close competition but Misko is definitely superior
Absolutely fantastic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Its absolutely insane how this young guy could have had enough time to learn this amazing version since his birth...
Its the omega 3 in the seafoods!!! Bro
not only did he learn it, he arranged it himself!
WOW. You played this song amazingly. Wonderful playing.
😂😂😂 He said "TIME".😂😂😂
Ask his mother about his finger picking training in her womb. 😂
dude....the transition into the "Breathe" melody....chills. Another great arrangement! So much fun to watch!
and now I (try to) retune to A E C# F# A E and then ?? what? and for how long? millenia?
maybe just the Breathe part will only take me a century!
Quel guitariste extraordinaire 😮
