You mean a kid.. 😅

@@tekatoanimeyt3206 LOL! at my age, almost EVERYONE is a kid. ;)

@Genius Idiot Ha! Yea, in my old eyes, he probably IS an infant! And the fact that he is literally that young only makes me look into knitting or pottery or something since my guitar only laughs at me these days. Ahh...but he IS fun to listen to, isn't he?

Don't take up knitting, sewing, needlepoint or any of that - you'll lose your man card altogether....

@@Last_one_before_I_go LMAO! Damn, I was afraid of that.

It's beyond brilliant

It hurts so good...

You would know, Casper....You're a prodigious player yourself....

It's because he'd rather leave a place of silence instead of trying to get the right filled in note, at the cost of the flow or the whole.

Man which tuning does he uses?

@@Morani27 Hi sir the tuning is D A D F# B E(almost an open D except for the B)

It so pretty

To me I like steing drive that Andy McKee puts into the chorus. But everyone that plays this style of fingerpickin has their own twists. They all are great in their own ways.

I think exact the same thing! He’s so amazing and talented!

An endorsement from the man himself!! I'm not only glad to have more sources of amazing fingerstyle but also see the support among its members. \m/

He isn't already???

Yoni! This means a lot coming from you, I'm sure!

Drop D tuning, Kent?

The G string is tuned down to F# also

@@OdhranOC You're right. As Kent clearly mention in description, the tuning is below. Tuning : D A D F# B E

Douglas White shut the fuck up

@@bobrocks83 having a bad day or have you always had trouble making friends?

Fucking calm down Doug don’t have an existential crisis.

while this video isnt making me go into cardiac arrest like doug, if you told me it was one guy I'd totally call bullshit, that's very impressive

Haha true! Can’t argue

Then your guitar said to you..."that could be you if you worked on this 4 hrs a day for 5 years'".

Did he nail it or whut.wellshut my mouth,and pick my nose in awe.

Cassette Walkman lol!!!

Literally laughed out loud at that! * polite clap *

😂😂 Frickin funny bro!! I really laughed out loud as well!!! I actually pictured it in my mind LOL!!!

When u break it down phrase by phrase, technique by technique, this is achievable ( I can't play it yet) but if you are an intermediate guitarist who really wants it, you can get there in less time than u may think

Arno Deboosere agree..

You should check out Andy McKee's cover of Toto it's probably the best cover I've ever seen of the song! Not that Kent's was bad at all.

Adam Lee both of them is good, much better than me..☺️ cos i cann’t play Toto yet

I can only image if Luca Stricagnoli did it. You guys should check out his cover of Hold The Line.

@@kob627 As you clearly mention as "", I don't mean to hurt your feelings at all. Andy McKee and Kent Nishimura. They have different guitar style and different attraction. In fact, each of their tunings Andy and Kent used on this song are totally different. Hearing the very first introductions among their arrangements for the first 10 seconds, it's very easy for anyone to know that both of them are so different. This is what Kent covered this well-known song with his original arrangement. That's it. Taking this opportunity, I would like to mention that Kent and Andy have respected each other since Kent met Andy in person a few years ago at backstage of Andy's concert as Andy kindly invited Kent to Andy's concert in Tokyo. Before Andy met Kent at the time, he spoke of Kent very highly below soon after Andy listened to Kent's album. ======================================================== Andy McKee Kent sounds like a great young player! I think he'll be one of the best and will carry the Fingerstyle guitar torch well into the future! ======================================================== Respecting Andy, Kent uploaded THE Andy's beautiful original song "Rylynn" exactly the same way Andy plays on Kent's KZfaq channel below. "Rylynn" is one of Kent's favorite songs since he was very little boy. Rylynn - Andy Mckee - Solo Acoustic Guitar - Covered by Kent Nishimura kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ft6Yg6VpurPIpIU.html

Thank you for all the work you do everyday. Nice marathon time btw.

@@jimmy250 amen bro

Justin Johnson kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q5Njddel28Wbmqs.html

Hope things are better now for you but I’m afraid they probably are not

@@codybanks9944 Justin Johnson is definitely a reason to spend time on YT.

You evil

Thanks for giving us hope

@@viclopresti6826 You dont have to be the best to feel good with your playing.

That’s true. One could arrange the best sounding piece in musical theory but to put it across as practical music on an instrument and particularly the guitar is entirely a different ball game. But we don’t have to always be the best. We must learn what it feels like to ‘not be the winner’ as well. That’s the problem with our generation.

I've been chasing Chett Atkins picking on and off for a decade

and singing

He's not even a man yet, he's barely a teen, check out his other videos where you can see his face. he's such a good musician you have to check out the rest of his stuff.

Acoutic**

Yes, seamless

Seriously

The whole song was a solo 😉. But I get your point.

Ditto

heard of Iggy Presnyakov?

@@ryancastro8684 different styles of fingerstyle

not the vocal lol, I played that.

@Anthony Greco That went on in the guitar magazines of my youth in the late 90s. And it’s pathetic spirit resides despite having witnessed dozens of YT-guitar-geniuses: The tendency to list guitarists and the ghosts of overcome eras of the page-Clapton-Hendrix trinity. It’s pathetic. This here is pure skill.

This thing is not that difficult to play. It's still a lot of work. There's not genius or deep creativity here. It's still well done.

@Romain Bertrand Nobody claimed as much. Creating an arrangement of an existing tune is maybe not as creative as composing an original, it is still creative and ingenuine when done well. This one is done well. Nobody said something about geniuses. Hendrix and Page weren’t geniuses either.

@@agdolany1094 You're right. Peace.

@@agdolany1094 I think people forget why Hendrix is on that list. He pushed the limit on what people did with guitar, much the same way KZfaq guitarists are today. His genius was in the techniques he used to get sounds out of his guitar nobody else was getting. Do I consider him one of the best guitarists TODAY? Not by a Longshot. But neither am I arrogant enough to dismiss his talent, accomplishment, and the influence his playing has had on literally generations of guitarists. Go listen to Machine Gun. Or really any other of his songs they don't play on the radio. You'll see why he's considered one of the greats, and yes, a genius. Page, on the other hand, is a sloppy guitarist who got lucky with finding a sound.

defintely more lively. lostless format. everything, every detail, drums, bass, snare, taps and strums are all contained. wonderful work of Kent.

Grace for sure

Or, he may have possibly even exceeded it. The Bible says that he danced before the LORD with all is might.❤😮😮😅

You know you're great when somebody like an RJ Ronquillo thinks you're amazing!

Thank you 😊

James Bartholomew 👍

@@michellestoot Can confirm!

No disrespect to you but even if i had the tabs i couldnt play it a 3rd as good

@@robertstanko2948 actually, I thought the same when I used the PDF file of the tab. It was really hard and almost impossible to play till I noticed the guitar pro file that the website attached. I've never used guitar pro before I had to buy the software for like 35 euros (my trial expired a long time ago :D ) but it was completely worth it, I can play the tab slowly and see the next note on guitar pro. it really improved my playing. now I'm able to play along with Knet, at least the first 32 seconds.

Even better than the tab you have the video of him playing it and his hands are clearly visible the whole time. Just pull out the guitar and follow along with your hands.

I'd love to have the tab for this. It's brilliant! This guy can really play and arrange. I love what he is doing. I play acoustic guitar using a lot of unorthodox techniques and rhythms which is all interesting but I'm not able to create such accurate arrangements like Kent does. It's amazing what's possible on guitar! Maybe I'll try to create an arrangement like this of something on my page. If you like drumming on the acoustic guitar come and have a look.

I feel personally attacked
