I think Kent is the best pop rock arranger and guitar player of all times. His transcriptions are fantastic and you can almost hear the singers singing it!😮

He’s a genius…no comparison

Oh drop everything; Kent posted again!

best guitarist so far in my lifetime.... no one catches the charakter of a song with so many layers at the same time simultanously, perfectly corresponding to each other, without sounding stressed, overdriven or unclean... he seems so relaxed while using six braines same time👍👍👍 cant imagine how he will perform in twenty or so years... thanks kent

/me clicks on it instantly

I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Professionally for most of that time. This is some of the best playing I've ever seen or heard.

That capo move was insane, you’re on another level man!

There are a lot of talented guitarists on youtube but you are in a league of your own

One more time. The Grandmaster of arrangement. Kent on guitar is like a Witcher in fights against the monsters. Absolute genius.

Running bass, chord inversions and melody…. Brilliantly arranged and not overdone so as to keep the melody constantly coming through, very impressive Kent… you are an inspirational player and more importantly a joy to listen to and watch perform.

His arrangements are so subtle and brilliant, it is hard to believe that they aren’t the originals.

Wow. Never seen anyone introduce a key change like that before 😳🤗

スゲーなぁ、この若者！My father used to say I was a 12-year-old trapped in an old man’s body because I liked Big Band swing jazz in the mid 1970s before I moved on to Soul, Funk, R&B, and especially Quiet Storm by the early ’80s, despite the absence of many albums in Canada, which lacked any Black community outside of Toronto on the other side of the country. When I arrived in Japan in 1986 after having studied Japanese at university, I felt as though I’d finally arrived at home, where I always belonged. I was constantly told I was more Japanese than the Japanese themselves right up until I eventually returned to Canada in 2002. The only reason I mention any of this is that I feel Kento has likewise been reincarnated from a former life in my era and culture. Look at his play list, which represents my tastes as someone born in 1965, not even including the various white performers, each of whom I also like but haven’t listed: “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” - 1967 (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell), “What a Wonderful World” - 1967 (Louis Armstrong), “I Say a Little Prayer for You” - 1967 (Aretha Franklin) / 1968 (Dionne Warwick), “My Cherie Amour” - 1969 (Stevie Wonder), “Ain’t No Sunshine” - 1971 (Bill Withers), “Lean on Me” - 1972 (Bill Withers), “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” - 1973 (Stevie Wonder), “Higher Ground” - 1973 (Stevie Wonder), “Feel Like Makin’ Love” - 1974 (Roberta Flack), “This Masquerade” - 1976 (George Benson), “Isn’t She Lovely” - 1976 (Stevie Wonder), “Takin’ It to the Streets” - 1976 (The Doobie Brothers), “Living Inside Your Love” - 1976 (Earl Klugh), “Sir Duke” - 1977 (Stevie Wonder), “Fantasy” - 1977 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “September” - 1978 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “What a Fool Believes” - 1978 (The Doobie Brothers), “Rock with You” - 1979 (Michael Jackson), “I Can’t Help It” - 1979 (Michael Jackson), “After the Love Has Gone” - 1979 (Earth, Wind & Fire), “Just the Two of Us” - 1981 (Grover Washington Jr. featuring Bill Withers), “Just Once” - 1981 (James Ingram), “1999” - 1982 (Prince), “Thriller” - 1982 (Michael Jackson), “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)” - 1982 (Michael McDonald), “Human Nature” - 1983 (Michael Jackson), “In Your Eyes” - 1983 (George Benson), “Through the Fire” - 1984 (Chaka Khan), “Hello” - 1984 (Lionel Richie), “Purple Rain” - 1984 (Prince and The Revolution), “Easy Lover” - 1984 (Philip Bailey & Phil Collins), “What’s Love Got to Do with It” - 1984 (Tina Turner), “Sweet Love” - 1986 (Anita Baker), “Man in the Mirror” - 1988 (Michael Jackson), etc. My only disappointment is that “In Your Eyes” was Peter Gabriel’s very worthy song rather than George Benson (and I think Earl Klugh)’s even better song. I’d can already fully imagine his renditions of Luther Vandross’s “Can Heaven Wait” and Jeffrey Osborne’s “Stay with Me Tonight.” It would be interesting if he could fully develop Southern All Stars’ “真夏の果実,” which he might find too simple but appeals to the age group that loves the kind of music he plays. I encourage everyone to subscribe to his iTunes channel in addition to this KZfaq channel.

Another banger and near-impossible arrangement from the legendary Kent Nishimura! That capo slide during the key change was insane!

Immaculate. I'm just loving how his left hand is developing more and more octopus like characteristics ❤🎉. The confidence and fluidity is dazzling.

Kent's precision is truly remarkable.

I was wondering how he was going to handle the key change at the end. That capo slide up move was incredible.

As impossible as 'man in the mirror'. Keep up the great work. A pleasure to listen to. And the signature capo-move!

Kent, a treasure in our time. I hope the world appreciates his genius. As always nice work and thank you Kent.

You're part of the FIngerstyle Holly Trinty with Tommy of course, and your style here make me think of Eric Roche and his "Jump" cover back in the days. Bravo Kent !

I won't repeat myself about his skill and artistic choice so as not to seem monotonous

The Atomic Kent ⏰ precision 👏

He captures the voice so well in his compositions. The man is a legend!

Don't ever stop!! Thank You, Your playing has become therapeutic for me, and others im sure!! Excellent.

30 seconds in and already excited when I see the roller capo.

A year or so ago I twisted the middle finger on my left hand and tore the ligament (power drill). I have not been able to hold a D chord (using my middle finger, which allows for the pinky to hold and hammer the E string) for over 9 months, and I really thought that was it for my amateur guitaring as the D chord is paramount. The good news is, after a lot of physio and stretching, I am finally able to hold a D chord (Fore, middle, ring) without too much pain 😁😁 Love the work, keep it coming

This is the only guitar channel that exists that only plays guitar… But has me singing along with it the entire time. 10\10 Achievement Unlocked.

That capo position-switch might be the most flawless thing we'll see this year!

It's crazy how excited I get whenever I see that Kent has posted a new video. You just never know what great song he's going to knock out of the park next! Fabulous as always.

Kent I always love to see what songs you choose

Another great cover! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, Kent!

Love how you capture that bass riff in between the vocal phrases in the chorus.

There are hundreds if not Thousands of truly amazing guitar players on you tube. Kent you are the by far the best I have seen. Amazing. That capo slide👌

You are amazing young man. Your soul runs so deep. Love your music - stay safe.

Kent is the best!! I am so happy, we all get to enjoy his MASSIVE TALENT ❤❤❤❤

2:30 Love the key change in a few seconds time! 👍👍

Thank you once again, Kent, for lifting our thoughts and concerns away with your talent. Greetings from Madagascar.

fantastic - would never thought of that track translating well to a guitar solo.

The depth of your arrangements are brilliant - captures the original song so well.

That left pinky is doing a great job!

Finally a song that I know and love again. Thats why I am subscribed to you. I like coming back from time to time.

はじめにローリングカポ見たところから 2:41 待ちでした！

You are a treasure to the world. God bless you.

Impressionante como quase podemos ouvir Phil Collins cantando através dos dedos de Kent...que maravilha!

Two uploads in less than a month?!🤩 Awesome possum!🎸🔥

That key change at 2:44 was SO smooth.

Genius cover Seamless fluidity

That was the smoothest Capo slide ever..

You are true artist Kent. Love your arrangements and your playing is amazing!

実際にすぐ隣で弾いている演奏を聞いたとしても心地良く聞けるだろう。とても抑制された素晴らしいアレンジと演奏だから。

Just brilliant in every way. As soon as I saw this - CLICK! Amazing

Slick key change!😁

Another awesome capo slide!

Kent, you are the best among the best.

Such a happy clean version of this song. ✨🎵💜M & D

Unbelievable. Again.

Always amused and amazed whenever a new video comes out. Thanks! - Chris

Big fan of Phil Collins. I've never heard this song but I can definitely hear Phil Collins singing the melody here.

Invisible Touch - Genesis Top song 1980

One of my favorite songs! I love this.

Кент - Спасибо за прекрасную и красивую Музыку) Гитара в Ваших руках - звучит великолепно!😊

Beautiful! Reflects so much concentrated work and a unique sensitivity. Also, love the t-shirt. Those are my heroes listed there. I’m assuming you’re also a fan which explains a bit about your diverse influences.

転調がまたカッコいい✨😆 フィル・コリンズ好きだったから嬉しいです💕🥰

Sounds amazing!! I like it so much!!

Wow!

The shift with the capo was so smooth 👌 amazing! again!

You both make me want to practice my guitar more and quit playing all together. :D Amazing work as always.

Best enjoyed with a headphone and eyes closed. Thank you Kent! You smashed it again.
