I found this video while learning the guitar part of this song, and he's actually playing a very minimized version of the guitar melody, which when anchored to the vocal melody gives the impression of the full guitar bit to a listener who is familiar with the song. The playing is fantastic but the skill in creating the arrangement is also extremely impressive!
Wow. My guitar life now split: Pre-hearing Kent and Post-hearing Kent. His ear is incredible and his taste, stunning. Technical skills are ubiquitous but combined with beauty: rare. Wow
So often guitar players with this skill level can turn off their audience, because the technicality overcomes the melody. This is on another level though - I’m in awe of the skill, but still get a beautiful and recognisable melody, harmonies and rhythm. It’s simply incredible!
Is this not something you're just projecting on to everyone else? I've never once heard of guitar players "turning off their audience" because they're too technical. I think that might just be your problem.
@@popcorns6472 It is and it isn't. It takes two to tango. A perfomer needs an audience to complete his performance. No it's not a projection: It's something like ruclips.net/video/eg16mepPImk/видео.html It's hokey.
Definitely not something you're projecting, I had this feeling before even reading the comments. I knew it was TOO good when I caught the ONE time he was barely off beat. I think the song being beautiful and simple really helps out.
Steve Jobs ehh i think alot of people get that problem, most people dont know or care to know techniques, to the uninitiated advanced techniques sound just plain bad, and to a certain level i agree
Has been a crappy week and can honestly say the highlight of my week has been finding this channel and binge watching/listening to your music all week.
Ok, I listen to a whole bunch of these type of performances. I’m pretty sure this kid’s sensibilities and abilities are the very best I have ever heard. This is not to take away anything from all those whom have gone before him, but for pure musicality, ... honestly he is unrivaled. IMHO
Wow... Clearly you have not seen much then. Not that Kent isn't amazing, but he sure as hell isn't unrivaled and definitely not even top 10 fingerstyle players on RUclips.
@@sebastianeespaillat2060 Sungha Jung too, but also Tommy Emmanuel, Alexandr Misko, Kotaro Oshio (who is Kent's idol), Lucas Stricagnoli, Mike Dawes, Igor Presnyakov, Richard Smith, Akihiro Tanaka just to name a few. He would especially like Tommy Emmanuel, Lucas Stricagnoli, and Alexandr Misko.
I've listened to his tunes almost all day long. Not only he is already a world class guitar player, but a gifted music arranger. Every song just sound original, but yet his warm and smooth touch that is outstanding. Look forward to seeing him perform in near future.
Utterly and absolutely gorgeous piece of musical art. It took me to a sunny meadow - just lying lazing in the grass and watching birds swoop in a corn flower blue sky. When music transports you somewhere else , you know you're listening to a magical musician.
There's no showboating, just keeping it simple with the melody and keeping it all in the pocket. Just a beautiful arrangement that sounds simple until you look more closely... outstanding "composition".
It's the little things. Like that sliding bass at 0:20... Kent's arrangement captures the essence of this song (and all the ones he chooses). Kent is the Superman of fingerstyle.
Sophisticatedly simple! I hate other "pro"" guitarists who often add a lot off hard improvisations, leads, riffs into their covers to make them unnecessaryly difficult. Kent is different. Truly nailed them with his sophisticated simplicity.
you are joking aren't you ? "Sophisticatedly simple" ??? "I hate other "pro"" guitarists" ...WOW ! first time for everything but I never would have thought I'd hear someone so arrogant to say they hate George Benson
I am speechless. What an incredible performance . I do not believe I will ever hear a more skilful , complete and astounding version . I am in awe . What a pleasure. Thank you .
@@bobsaturday4273 as a professional quantum physicist i can tell you she is correct. look up the dirac rule (not the dirac equation). it summarizes most of quantum mechanics by upgrading poisson brackets to commutators by a simple rule. most of what you hear about, for example, quantum vacuum fluctuations can be attributed to the commutator of p and x not equaling zero (see the quantum vacuum by milonni).
I heard the original song on the radio the other day, and I couldn't help but imagine Kent's playing along with it. This is what an amazing cover can do to the original song. It doesn't take away the greatness of the original but enhances it even more. Thank you Kent for this amazing piece.
Just imagine changing the tuning then memorizing the repositioned notes then performing the songs with no mistakes - mind boggling. That's mastery of the fretboard on another level.
I never comment on ANY video that I watch, and god knows I've been watching many ! But come on, the first notes made me wonder why I didn't hear about you sooner ! The musicality of your arrangements, the rendition, it's out of this world !
Its dangerous to listen to Kent Nishimura, after you get used to listen to his arrangement you cant go back and listen to other guitar players because no one can match his skill and talent
gotta disagree. My angle is that true players speak through their instruments so it really doesn't matter the technical level, so not better, just a different musical expression. but I hear ya. Kent plays amazingly beautiful.
@@boyanwawa @boyanwawa And that is the case of any musician. I knew a man that couldn't sing at all. He was simply not able to hit a correct note. When he sang it didn't sound musical and you could hardly recognize the melody. He could play the guitar to a certain degree normally and could accompany his singing with the guitar. One day I sat on cobblestones with friends at a public place in a circle and sang songs to my guitar. Then this friend of mine came and wanted to sing. I gave him my guitar and he sung one of his favourite songs. The melody was hardly recognizable. It sounded more like speaking than singing. And the song he sang if I remember correctly was a long one around 8 minutes long with around 5 verses and chorus in between. He sang the whole song and no one interrupted him and anyone just listened and enjoyed because he was enjoying it. Although from a musical standpoint it was rather sung awefully and yet it was a great experience and a great lesson for me. Because he sang the song with such a passion that you could feel it that he wanted to pass on a message and he did. If I remember it correctly it was the song American pie by Don Mclean which is one of my favourite songs and that also always had a deep and highly spiritual and religious meaning to me. The lesson that I learned from my friend was that you don't need an extraordinary musical talent in order to express your soul and to be able to pass on the passion that is woven into a song. Since that day I listened to anyone that sang because I wasn't interested anymore in the quality of the performance but I tried to sense and feel from which place in the soul the voice and emotions came from. Otherwise great comment. My comment's essence is basically the same as yours just highlighted from my personal experience.
@@peternemeth1777 Thank you for sharing the story! This is exactly what I mean. Although the techniques and musical skills are important, playing or singing without souls is like something created by machines. It’s musically perfect, but that’s not what we are created for. We are meant to play and sing differently due to our different stories and lives, and that’s what makes music so special to listen to. I can relate to your story. In fact that’s my motivation of playing music, cause I know I’m not perfect but I truly enjoy making music. People seem to see music as competitions nowadays, always compare with each other technically. The purposes of making music are no longer the same.
I wonder how many takes this took, I bet only 1 as he is so ridiculously talented. I didn’t realise how beautiful this song was until I hear Kent’s version. Stunning, so relaxing 😎
Honestly & please excuse me but, this is PERFECTION, defined. Not only are you a 'human-metronome' but there was just so much feel in this here performance! Those harmonics just add the right stuff! Thank you for sharing this absolute delight, sir 😉 💜 🍀 🎶
A beautifully played arrangement of a wonderfully beautiful piece. I have always loved Norah Jones, and you have certainly done her justice here. Thank you, Kent.
You pick all the best songs to cover. I’ve found my new favorite guitar player while suffering an injury at work and it’s you!! Thanks for making this pain and helping me stay in bed so much easier.
Despite being the most advanced approach technically i’ve seen of this, the phrasing and lyricism is all there. Superb playing and transcription! Bravo!
I am sure that this is an ultimate arrangement of this song for fingerstyle solo guitar. またしても西村ケントくんは多くのミュージシャンがインストゥルメンタルとしてカヴァーしている、この世界的ビッグ・ヒット曲をソロ・ギター・スタイルのアレンジとして「究極の完成形」を作り、演奏してしまいましたね。ノラ・ジョーンズのヴォーカルの雰囲気そのままにメロディーを紡ぎ出す技量とセンスは、絶賛に値します。 終盤の連続する「人工ハーモニックス」のプレイも素晴らしいです。それに「初の顔出し」自宅録音＆撮影とのことですが、音も画像もとても良いと思います。このアングルでドシドシ「量産」すると、世界中のケント・ファンは大喜びですね（笑）。
I'd have to say, I love your works of recent, I really do. But I always find myself coming back to this piece. IMO, this one is your best piece among all of your other pieces to date. Thank you for your music
I think he takes the concept of a one man band even farther than Tommy in some ways.Not to say he's better, but this is just absolute in it's fullness.
I can’t stop listening to this! It sounds so effortless, and captures the not only the groove of the original song, but the song in its entirety. ありがとう、西村さん！すばらしい
Yes. Not sing OVER, but a duet. Kent can swap playing 2nd voice/harmony instead of the main melody (1st voice), or Norah can sing 2nd voice or change throughout the song.
You guys need to understand that this is not a single track. It's all him, and it's all being played on an acoustic guitar, but its multiple tracks. He only shows the melody track.
@@willoughbykrenzteinburg Wrong bro. Go look at live shows. Multiple people on this page who have seen him play live are attesting that you are incorrect.
@@lashlarue7924 I'm not gonna argue with you. No reason to get so defensive. He is clearly still very talented. I'm not trying to bash him. Its multiple tracks. There are percussive sounds that simply arent made by the way he is playing. There are mutes, string hits, body hits that are heard and have consistent levels and hes just not doing it in the footage. Everything you are hearing is not being played at the same time. At least not on all his videos. If you wanna think hes playing everything in one take in all those videos, have at it. He is not. It's still impressive, but I'm not arguing it further.
![FNAF vs TF2 - Episode 2 [SFM]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z5b3V2-VLb0/mqdefault.jpg)
He's playing the vocal, the bass, the drum AND the guitar while keeping it all in perfect time and melody. This is masterful and beautiful.
He's even getting the vocal timing of how Nora starts her verses right on the money!!
Why isn't this kid famous wtf!!!

Yes spot on. He plays the piece like it’s enough in itself and just nails it. Adding a bunch of extra stuff is an easier and safer option.
i dont know how but he made this rendition more calming and peaceful than the originals
It is good, but Norah's voice is something else
If Norah was a guitar she'd sound _exactly_ like this. Unreal. Tons of incredible players around, but few can move me to tears
The very very first note, it sounds exactly like the piano from the original. Crazy..
Yeah yeah, very incredible!
A orchestrated production yields a constellation of sounds; to render the right sounds in a solo performance takes Nishimura.
This rendition cleansed my soul.
Everyone should turn off the news and just watch this. No more political fighting...
I am speechless. What an incredible performance . I do not believe I will ever hear a more skilful , complete and astounding version . I am in awe . What a pleasure. Thank you .
Stunning performance...., So pure and clean music come from solo player.
Jesus christ! The delivery! Time... feel.. clarity... you got "it". Kudos and much love from Sweden
This guy arranged song like quantum physics. Complexity and simplicity at the same time. A true inspiration of what humans can do.
