Isn’t it crazy how amazing these kids are. I have played for 20 years and fancy myself and then these KZfaq kids come along and suddenly I felt so untalented 😂😂😂

Yeah this kid is out of this world :D And this even wasn't one of his most technical part.

Kent also plays Aja, though it's audio only, no video. He is also a master at seamlessly sliding the capo and changing the key of the song without missing a beat.

Trully the most outstanding guitar player I’ve ever heard or seen. Makes me want to throw mine away. Love his music.

I have listened to Kent and Gabriella Q constantly since discovering them about a month ago. They're in their own stratosphere. With them, something is going on other than practice and experience.

Can't seem to get enough of ur critical acclaim of the Kent Nishimura's "perfect genius" acoustics. Wish u'd anoder analysis on his Disney 'Beauty and the Beast' theme. All the build up ftom a slow playful start to a dramatic climax, WOW!

One of my favs of Kent. He has crystallised this style to perfection. Beautiful player, astounding arrangements!

Since you are wearing a Pink Floyd shirt, I would love to get your reaction to Kent’s Another Brick in the Wall. I am still astounded by it after nearly 100 listens.

That's a model of monkeypod guitar built by Jeffrey Yong that won Blind Listening Test at the Guild of American Luthier's convention at 2006.

Jeff is known for Monkeypod tonewoods, but that's not Monkeypod. It's actually mango tree wood.

The guitar he's playing isn't a 3/4 size (if I heard correctly, that's what you were saying). It's a Jeffrey Yong JJ model, which is actually rather big. The lower portion of the guitar is actually similar to a jumbo sized guitar, so bigger than the standard size more likely.

Really enjoyed this one-man-band take on what has now become both an easy listening and jazz modern standard. In fact, I momentarily feel less angry and ready to go to war with the eternal enemy in my head, but alas, that will probably end as soon as this video does, sigh... P.S., the great Pat Metheny also covers this tune on his tasteful 2003 solo acoustic album "One Quiet Night", and it is also well-worth a listen or twelve!! P.P.S. the parakeet chirping in the background of your overall presentation really contributes to the peaceful, easy feeling of it all!

Wish he made a video on his cover of hotel california. But yeah, try listening to it. I think his most watched video covers are africa and careless whisper. Hope you can give a reaction to any of those covers. Subscribing

Pretty sweet. The feel, and sound and balance with the bass notes is really nice. Only ding I want to give it is about the percussion. Most people won't notice, but it's a bit monotonous. Sounds like manual 'guitar slaps, and if you watch closely, it's not recorded as part of this take. Maybe at least lower it in the mix if you don't want to set off ears like mine.

I've been following Kent for several years now. I rank him right up there with Tommy Emanuel. Go to Kent's channel and check out his cover of Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, or Michael Jackson's Thriller. These have everything you could perform on an acoustic guitar, performed flawlessly and seamlessly.
