    So much has already been said in Kent’s other videos about his uncanny ability to become an entire band when he’s playing. But equally impressive are his masterful arrangements - the nuanced runs, the perfectly placed harmonics. How many other guitarists on YT would have “overplayed” this song? And he plays “clean” every time. I really think it’s ok to start using the term “genius” when discussing young Mr. Nishimura’s art.

      i hate/love to say it, but it's something that seems inherent to the japanese culture/people: taking something, perhaps initially invented outside of Japan, respecting it, reverse engineering it, understanding it, perfecting it, and then on top of that(!) making it their own with their own personal touch, creativity, and skill. it may have something to do with the insular yet open culture, something to do with the fact that Japan is an island so their surplus overflows beyond their borders, something to do with their subjugation post-WWii so all the energy that initially went into their expansionist colonial imperialism is now focused in creative pursuits (most of the country has been pacifist and anti-war so that energy has to move somewhere if not toward fighting raping and killing others and all because their emperor was forced to surrender), something to do with the high prevalence of introversion that allows them to HEAR [the truth] because they're able to quiet themselves and they're not always yip yapping away into oblivion. cars, (video) games, cameras, design, music, trains, food, aesthetics, language, fashion, manners, and the list goes on. being top-class seems to come naturally to them. but it comes with a price...

      Genius is if he starts making absolutely boss original music, otherwise it’s just a matter of time for anyone to get here
      He didn’t invent the techniques, songs, etc, which is where genius comes in
      He’s a damn amazing guitarist though, but re-creation isn’t creation

      @@ofangelsanarchists2386 Not accurate lol. The word genius is not just associated with creation in any sense. An incredible mathematical prodigy would be considered 'genius'. This has nothing to do with creating in art. The other side of the story is arrangement is absolutely an art, he creates countless of his own incredible arrangements of songs. Nobody else appears to be able to come up with arrangements as well as this guy and that is why he is at the top in this world of acoustic guitar covers. Quite easy to see why some people may refer to him as pretty genius.

    You'll remember me when the west wind moves
    Upon the fields of barley
    You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
    As we walk in fields of gold
    [Verse 2]
    So she took her love for to gaze awhile
    Upon the fields of barley
    In his arms she fell as her hair came down
    Among the fields of gold
    [Verse 3]
    Will you stay with me? Will you be my love?
    Among the fields of barley
    We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
    As we lie in fields of gold
    [Verse 4]
    See the west wind move like a lover so
    Upon the fields of barley
    Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
    Among the fields of gold
    [Bridge]
    I never made promises lightly
    And there have been some that I've broken
    But I swear in the days still left
    We'll walk in fields of gold
    We'll walk in fields of gold
    [Verse 5]
    Many years have passed since those summer days
    Among the fields of barley
    See the children run as the sun goes down
    Among the fields of gold
    [Verse 6]
    You'll remember me when the west wind moves
    Upon the fields of barley
    You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
    When we walked in fields of gold
    When we walked in fields of gold
    When we walked in fields of gold

    Truly a beautiful song from Gordon S and not particularly difficult; but Kent makes it even more beautiful especially with the fingernail tapping (not just his 'usual' Tommy E-style thumb-thumping) to recall the snare-drum rip-tap of the Sting original. You could close your eyes and let the song take you; but you'd rather watching the fingering.
