      I've checked out many of the different covers out there and I have to admit none of them comes close to matching the smoothness of this rendition. Plus the hand tapping on the guitar body adds so much class and helps to maintain the tempo of the song.

    One of the MANY things I love about Kent's guitar playing is his choice of material! The young man has some classy and impeccable taste in music! Along with being other worldly talented! This arrangement is so rich and vibrant! Also, I'm a lyrics person who loves the singing and vocals in a song, but I don't even miss it when listening to the marvels of Kent Nishimura. He is a source of joy and amazement in this crazy world today. Bless you and thank you Kent Nishimura!

    I don't know very much about music or fingerstyle but all other youtubers playing fingerstyle doesnt come close to this.
