How is it that no matter how high my expectations are of this guy’s ear and interpretation, he just blows those expectations away? Fantastic work, Kent - thank you, and have yourself a very Merry Christmas…
Around for few years on YT. It’s time he gets the higher recognition he deserves. Would love to hear his own writing on an album. Amazing cover renditions BUT can only imagine what authentic innovations he has stored in his head! Seriously, he deserves more than he is recognized for.
Technical brilliance aside, Kent has 2 important qualities which are high class: his musical taste and rhythmic feel. Thanks Kent for your smooth, beautiful rendition of this Christmas classic - don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. Merry Christmas!
Ok ok ok.... before you start hating. Just a thought. I'd love to hear this kid bust off some rock. Of course he is completely capable. Just, I'd like to see it. Peace, n harmony Kent sir.
To me, this is musicianship at its pinnacle. Makes me glad to be alive. The virtuosity and feel in Kent's playing has reinvigorated my love of music, especially when compared to what qualifies as 'music' nowadays. Thank you, Kent.
Insane Talent, Composition is Incredible 10000%. You are Awesome Kent. The best arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard. Playing guitar for 60 years!!!
What a beautiful thing in the last days of 2022 watching this hope the best for all you at this end of 2022 and many things happen in the 365 days we've passed, good and bad thing come over,hope the 2023 will bring a full of joy and happiness for all of us and god bless us
I'm not usually a fan of most Christmas music. But I am a fan of Kent, so I gave this a listen...and it completely changed my attitude about Christmas music! I would listen to a whole album of Christmas songs done in this style. In particular, the subtle use of minor notes to throw off the usual sound of most holiday music sets this rendition apart from what I'm used to. Well done!!!
Tuck & Patty, I saw a concert of them years ago in Milan, and I still remember the magic of a warm voice melted in a simply beautiful sound of a guitar, so impressed and so amazed
Very clean and controlled sound. Nothing fancy but his playing is just perfect for the cozy fireplace on a X-Mas day. By the way, the guitar he's playing is an absolute beauty. I love to own one.
Right!?!? This man has so much taste and musicality. He knows what to do and not to do to make the tune sing. That, more than musical ability is fundamental and is the highest level of artistry. Happy Holidays, Kent. May the next year be filled with joy and accomplishment for you.
Because of Kent, I'm actually going to take lessons to learn how to play a guitar like this. I do have a background in piano playing, but I don't expect to ever become as good as him. I only hope to at least to be able to play at a fraction of his talent.
Beautiful, expensive guitars (and cars) are often in the hands of the wrong people. This one isn't. Thanks, Kent and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" too.
Through the years, we all will be together…if the fates allow!! Hang a shining star upon the highest bough!! Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more!! And have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now!!
Hello Kent!!!Thank you very much for all these astounding guitar music pieces you've been all sharing with us....your avid guitar fans!!!May you be blessed all the way in your music life here on earth and wishing you happiness always! MERRY 🎄 CHRISTMAS to you and your family!! 😊🎄🎉🎁
Te felicito!...muy emotiva la melodía y una gran destreza para ejecutar la guitarra. La guardo en mi canal para volverte a escuchar. Sigue desarrollando ese talento. Has tocado con mucho sentimiento. No me cansaria de escucharte tocar una y otra vez. Mis saludos desde Argentina!
What a wonderful surprise! Kent's choice of songs is often unexpected yet this was very appropriate! Thanks Kent for this beautiful Christmas gift! Hope you have a glorious one!
was listening to your Man In the mirror then brought me to your channel, then the guitar caught my attention, looks like Jeffrey Yong's creation, and omg it really is!
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay Next year all our troubles, will be miles away Once again, as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Will be near to us once more Someday soon we all will be together If the fates allow Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
I was playing his arrangement this morning, then I woke up
Pls tell what is the tunning tnx in advance😘
Ahahahh
How is it that no matter how high my expectations are of this guy’s ear and interpretation, he just blows those expectations away? Fantastic work, Kent - thank you, and have yourself a very Merry Christmas…
This should be played on every TV station Christmas morning.
Dude it’s June and I just got transported to New York’s Rockefeller center Xmas tree lighting
Kent, I still think you're objectively the #1 finger style guitarist on all of RUclips. Thanks for making these.
I am recovering from surgery and this is just what I needed Kent thank you
BARELY 2 minutes! This is so beautiful, it deserves a 4 minute-version...
I just sit back, put my hands behind my head, close my eyes, and all the tension melts away. Thanks, Kent! Merry Christmas!
what a rich, clean tone redention!
One of the more re-listenable Christmas songs, impeccable arrangement and performance from Kent no doubt.
It's a crime against humanity to make such an amazing video so short.
Thanks Kent ! You just shone some light on the life of this senior citizen !🥗🌺🌲🌲

I predict this year Kent will become world famous and deservedly so…anyone else wif me?
Technical brilliance aside, Kent has 2 important qualities which are high class: his musical taste and rhythmic feel. Thanks Kent for your smooth, beautiful rendition of this Christmas classic - don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. Merry Christmas!
Yes, you're right!!
Ok ok ok.... before you start hating. Just a thought.
I'd love to hear this kid bust off some rock.
Of course he is completely capable.
Just, I'd like to see it.
Peace, n harmony Kent sir.

Been watching through all of Nishimura's videos, but had skipped this one. Figured it wouldn't be that exciting. That'll learn me. Lol. Just amazing!
This is definitely my favorite sounding guitar of all the ones Kent uses.
I would absolutely buy an album of your Christmas covers. This just makes me feel warm and cozy.
YOU ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN. Thank you
I know I'm going to love this rendition before even hearing it. Merry Christmas to you, Kent 🙂
Absolutely beautiful! I was turned on to Kent by my guitar tech and now......10,000 more hours of practice. thank you Kent!
True...🔥 Nashville loves you!
Insane Talent, Composition is Incredible 10000%. You are Awesome Kent. The best arrangement of this song I’ve ever heard. Playing guitar for 60 years!!!

Am so looking forward to hearing Kent's arrangement of this great Christmas song. Wishing all a very merry Christmas and best of New Years.
Merry christmas and a new Year without CORONA to you from Hamburg, Germany! Ben
Merry Christmas and happy New Years from the Adirondack mountains!
Merry Christmas from Cincinnati Ohio!
Same here. Anxiously anticipating and yet totally blown away. What a great talent.
Listening to this and I just wanted to say Merry Christmas everyone!! while it’s still July!!
Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄 dear Kent.
Perfect for training 👍🙂
What the heck, man! Without watching the video, you'd think at least three persons are playing, bass, drums, and guitar.
I could listen to this ALL WINTER LONG!
Yeah. I could listen to this anytime too, not only for christmas
I love Kent's music so much I could almost fell the warmth from my guitar buruning in the fireplace.
All class.
Just - Wow.
It's July and I'm getting the feels....
Watching this for a 2nd Christmas now ..kent is just sublime 😍
never been amazed like this. I played guitar since grade 4 and Kent is absolutely one of the prince of finger style guitar...
it's may, a lot of stress lately....this one soothing me....thank you

Try listening to Tuck Andress' Christmas album.

@@peterpica302 Thank you!!!
I don't listen to Christmas song either but this is one of my favorite songs. Kenny G did a saxophone version of this song and it's just as amazing.
Thank you Kent
Almost that time of year again to have this playing in the background of getting Christmas dinner ready 😊
So calm and mesmerizing
j'etait tout seul cotre ses dix doigts et c'est NISHIMURA qui à gagné.Merci et bravo.
Welp. That does it. We need a Kent Christmas album now.
wtfff!!!!!!!!! im super jealous!!!!!!! ITS REALLY UPSETTING to see someone so young shit on the whole planet!!!!
I'm jealous too in a good way that I wish my brain works like him and the discipline that he has
So good Kent!!
Joe ,I am one of ur subscriber too.
Can u tell what is the tunning of this .?
Please joe and Kent. Thank you in advance. Love u both 😘😘
Merry Christmas! You should have millions of subscribers!
Very clean and controlled sound.
Nothing fancy but his playing is just perfect for the cozy fireplace on a X-Mas day.
By the way, the guitar he's playing is an absolute beauty. I love to own one.
his guitar is way more soulful than me
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Kent!
Thanks for sharing this cozy little slice of heaven with us!
Thank you for making it a special year, Kent. I so appreciate you sharing your gifts with the world.
Love this!
One of his “easier” pieces that of course I could never even dream of playing…
Merry Christmas Kent and all!
Right!?!? This man has so much taste and musicality. He knows what to do and not to do to make the tune sing. That, more than musical ability is fundamental and is the highest level of artistry. Happy Holidays, Kent. May the next year be filled with joy and accomplishment for you.
What a Gift Kent is to all of us! Merry Christmas everyone!
What a crazy way to blow up my mind. WOW!! Beautiful. It's the best rendition I have ever heard so far.
Because of Kent, I'm actually going to take lessons to learn how to play a guitar like this. I do have a background in piano playing, but I don't expect to ever become as good as him. I only hope to at least to be able to play at a fraction of his talent.
Super clean notes, as always!!
1. that is a beautiful guitar
2. excellent arrangement, you manage to impress me every single time
Christmas begins ..... ❤
ridiculously accomplished, kent's ability to express his personality is complete his family must be exceptional - and to all a good night!
I've never seen a 2 piece soundboard before. What a beautiful instrument, and of course played so nicely!
Beautiful, expensive guitars (and cars) are often in the hands of the wrong people. This one isn't.
Thanks, Kent and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" too.
As a (non-musician) music lover and car guy from an extremely early age, you’re telling me.
Worth waiting for Kent beautiful arrangement as always and well played thank you! Merry Christmas!!
Might be spending christmas alone in a few days. At least I'll have this as company.
Through the years, we all will be together…if the fates allow!! Hang a shining star upon the highest bough!! Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more!! And have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now!!
Blessings for you in the Next Year!
Gorgeous
Kent, you are real Yankee gem 🇺🇸 ❄
Kent posts, I watch and like!
Lordy! That was SO tasty! All the little sparkles, harmonics and well voiced passing chords were perfect. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
Beautiful. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent with us, and have yourself a merry little Christmas too! ;)
This is tastier than any Christmas dinner anyone's having this year
Wala akong masasabi kundi ang galing mo.. God bless you Kent.
Fabulous!
My favourite Christmas song along with White Christmas.
Kent has to be the numero uno fingerstyle guitarist in the world at present.
Hello Kent!!!Thank you very much for all these astounding guitar music pieces you've been all sharing with us....your avid guitar fans!!!May you be blessed all the way in your music life here on earth and wishing you happiness always! MERRY 🎄 CHRISTMAS to you and your family!! 😊🎄🎉🎁
С наступающим Новым Годом всех!!! Пусть он будет лучше - чем все предыдущие! Спасибо Кент!👍🎸🌈🌎🎵
Keep on playing! Greetings from Manila, Philippines!
I consider myself the ultimate Scrooge (I hate it) and normally don’t listen to Christmas songs. But this is amazing.
Sounds like a warm and cozy Christmas. Merry Christmas!!
Gosh, what a talent, go my son.
Wonderful - メリークリスマス

Amazing that you play many parts at once. Truly a Master of your Craft. TY for sharing your gift 🎁
I think he is the best in the world at this style of playing.
Kent, Kent, Kent ! Please you have GOT to do a Christmas Special or something streaming on either Christmas Eve or Day!
Masterful, as usual. Always a pleasure to watch you do what you do best.
My favorite guitar player ... Someday you'll be the world's favorite guitar player

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light

Next year all our troubles, will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
