We are proudly announce that Kent's first transcription has begun to sell on MusicNotes website below. It's Pink Floyd cover "Another Brick in the Wall". Please check it!!! www.musicnotes.com/l/NBxSw

Best acoustic cover of this song on youtube

He’s knocking out the Gilmour solo while simultaneously playing the Waters part. Amazeballs. 🔥 🎸

So he plays rhythm guitar, lead guitar and basically drums all while managing to nail the solo. Possibly the greatest cover I move every heard

Searched KZfaq to learn Chords. Ran across this guy. Smashed my guitar into 100 pieces. There are people who play, and People who that admire people who play. I admire People that play.

Band is quarantined and can't get together to perform? No problem. KENT IS HERE TO SAVE THE DAY!

For all you beginners out there, this is a great warm up exercise

The one Avatar no one talks about. The Last String-bender.

im so impressed. i did not think an acoustic guitar could make those sounds.

WHAT...THE....ACTUAL... F....!!!! I'm a massive...MASSIVE Pink Floyd fan.... I know this song off by heart, chord by chord.. Solo by solo! And i can categorically state that is the absolute BEST acoustic version i have EVER.. E V E R heard!!! Fantastic arrangement!!! Just, WOW..!

It is unreal how he can play and make you feel like there is a whole band playing

Impossible not to tap your foot while listening to this. Absolute masterpiece.

His phrasing in the solo section is exquisite. Kent is a fantastic player. He has a ton of technique, but his musicality is even further advanced than the technique. He speaks guitar like a language.

It's mind blowing that he can play the solo WHILE keeping the drum/bass going. That's super saiyan god super saiyan status right there

The most accurate and harmonic cover, with bass, rhythm, vocal and solo parts. That's Art!!!! Congrats 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Mr. Nishimura... your video is AMAZING! I've been a guitar player for 30 years (not nearly as talented as you but striving to be).. and I just have to express my appreciation to you for sharing your videos. Amazing work, amazing style, please keep on playing and sharing!

Every time i watch Kent i am asking myself "How is this possible?", every time! He is a grand master of arrangement of source melody.

Holy cow, unbelievable! I love how he nailed an iconic guitar solo WITHIN a guitar solo!

This is not possibile..The solo part is not human. What a performance!!!!!!

So much to say here. So MUCH technical brilliance. But for me, the high point is the pinched harmonics toward the end of the guitar solo. They're hard enough to play on their own. But while playing the rhythm and backing at the same time? Bravo. This kid has magic in his hands.

Holy cow , plays the baseline and the solo at the same time , that’s like juggling, while riding a unicycle and reading the newspaper at the same time . Very hard , Chet Atkins stuff

The little nuances is what I'm blown away by. The muting of that bassline between all the other stuff going on.... just incredible, dude@

U N B E L I E V A B L E. I was amazed until he hit the solo, then I had to pick my jaw off the floor.

The best and the most underrated Fingerstyle guitarist in YT

Kent has a case to be the best guitarist ever to exist. His body of work speaks for itself, it,s godly level stuff. Scary that he's still so young.

I just love how accurate your arrangements are. Its a sign of the level of maturity and respect you have for the composition and the artist rendition. You're obviously very talented, extremely musically intuitive and have high personal standards. All genius qualities that most of us lack in some way, myself included!!. I thoroughly enjoy your arrangements because I don't hear your ego if that makes sense. You're not making any changes to make it easier for you or add anything extra, you are just capturing every nuance you can and doing it tastefully and that deserves some mad respect. More people need to hear you! The future of the music world is going to be ok as long as we have Kent in it!

This is absolutely insane, the ability to keep the bass and percussion along with the melody is madness

The best acoustic version I ever heard!

Not just excellent play, but also with full understanding of the soul of the song.

I like how he added the high e string in on the chorus to simulate the children singing in the song. Magnificent!

Incredible technique. Probably frowned upon in the Classical Guitar fraternity but this is not the Segovia generation, this is the new breed of guitarist.

NO WORDS ...IT'S MIRACLE.

Not only is this incredible, but Kent never seems to make a mistake either. The guy is a machine

I watched this 10 times and counting. Unbelievable.

A rare moment of joy when humans add beauty to what is already magnificent creation. What a great way to recognize and honour the best of us.

This is the best guitar player in the world.

No education ... all we need is Kent n his guitar ...😍😍😍😍

I've had this on repeat for roughly 15 times with my headphones on in the dark with my eyes closed. It's that bouncing rhythm, with his right hand its like his whole right arm is a Metronome; I've never heard rhythm with that kind of feeling and consistency from a finger picker. The intonation of those notes he's hitting truly bring that song to life. I'm simply overwhelmed in the best possible way by a musician that is, (in my humble opinion) a once in a generation talent that is single (double) handedly evolving the definition of what it means to play a guitar. Sure, there are a lot of other amazing finger picking geniuses out there that are incredibly talented but this is the first time I've ever come across something like this. I looked up both Tommy Emmanuel 's and Kent's versions of Drive My Car and Lady Madonna and I gotta give it to Kent, his version of those songs sound complete where as Tommy's (Without taking away anything from that incredibly gifted player in his own right) versions seem almost choppy and empty of notes that Kent was playing. Makes one wonder if they could be that good at anything in life. I suppose I shall try to find out. #Motivated

I've been playing guitar for years and I wouldnt have believed this until I saw it with my own eyes - amazing

Dude I have seen this a million times, but it feels new every time. The way you pulled solo along with chords and bass, phenomenal!!!

Most amazing thing I've ever seen played on a guitar period.

OK, Kent. You win. You are the best guitarist in the world. 👍

WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!! I have no words...other than VERY-WELL-DONE!... my word....REALLY?!?!??? I saw this video a while back....and after seeing it again....I'm still completely blown away Kent.

That silk touch and effortless playing 😇!!

My routine for enjoying Kent's play - After I check that my speakers are cabled well to give a good bass and clear mids, I first listen while strolling down the comments...and comparing my experience with all you guys who are in awe, then I listen a second time watching how he did it. .. :) I always look forward to be surprised by his selection of music. But I'm hoping for a day he touches the repertoire of legend Tatsuro Yamashita.

Absolutely insane,the best rendition of this song on guitar on youtube,and no I didn't look for others,no way is this getting beaten by another human...

those pinched harmonics at 3:06 and on are absolutely outrageous.

The Best fingerstyle

This is why you're one of the best fingerstyle guitarist. You pay attention to the smallest details. That base line during the melody and lead parts is on point. Absolutely fantastic arrangement!!! You've become my favorite fingerstyle guitarist!

I've posted before about this, but honestly this is just ridiculous. He cannot be human, surely??!!! Insanely marvellous.

Fabulous! The guitar sings the words of the song so clearly! And the rhythm? WOW!

His guitar performance is amazing and amazing ^^ Thank you ^^

I was feeling quite pleased with myself having learnt the solo... then this clever bastard comes along and does the solo AND all the other parts at the same time! Absolutely wonderful.

He is playing the drums, bass guitar, e-guitar and the vocals with one instrument. Incredible!

It's amazing how this kid captures every nuance of the song. Just awesome!

You have a fantastic style of playing. I have been playing the guitar for 25 years & you are light years ahead of me. I could never be this good if I lived a thousand years. Excellent. 👍👍👍

Kent Nishimura, the man, the myth, the legend. God speed you magnificent bastard. The world is too good for you :)

Well, I guess I will say something else lol. You hear people replay songs and during so you mostly just hear someone replaying parts of the music, a tiny part of the overall experience which can be good. But when a single person replays a song so well and completely encompassing that it instantly captures part of your mind and takes you deep into the reassesses of your subconscious, wrapping your thoughts in the memories of the past, taking you back to the very reasons those thoughts are still there and can be recalled, well sir....that is talent and truly magic. The last few cords where like being awoken from a deep dream, one that you did not want to leave. Thanks so much for the work and time you spend on your craft and thanks for taking me back to all those wonderful memories I have from those first days of listening to the Floyd. NEVER stop playing.

He played the solo note for note, bass note for note, and percussion at the same time. That’s pretty fucking great.

looks so easy but is another planet away in difficulty. love this guy for how good he can make it sound while looking like he isn't even trying hard. genius.

Много чего переслушал, но тут ...восторг!!! Отдельно про инструмент: звучание - это просто сказка!

the cover of the solo is absolutely fantastic

Wait, we've got bass, rhythm and drums here all in one. It's Gilmour, Waters and Mason all rolled together on one instrument. Incredible.

Even watching him do it, I don't understand how he manages to work every defining nuance of the song into his transcription. Amazing.

How can your performance be so cool? Thank you.

As a guitar player myself this is beyond amazing. The solo and rhythm simultaneously that sounds flawless is almost impossible.

Is the greatest living guitarist a kid from Japan? Maybe. Amazing.

I am listening and crying a little, because it is sounds beautiful and it looks genius.

This is just incredible. Kent just gets better and better.

2:12 another brick on the head...this kid really got some mad skills!

Best cover of this I've seen on here so far - the rhythm, the bass, the solo... awesome.

Watched this so many times. Kent’s rendition just captures the whole song in a nutshell.

Whenever I watch/listen to you play, I have this massive grin on my face, my head starts nodding and my feet start tapping! It’s not just your mad skills that are so impressive, it’s also the “feeling” that I admire. You are a legend, mate! Keep on sharing. Please!

Genius!!!! I love your vids bro!! Dont ever stop playing!!!

...that rake at 2:34, spot on👍

Blew me away ! As someone says you capture all the little nuances of a song I know backwards and have been trying to play for over 20 years. kent + guitar = art. Thanks so much for sharing. Currently sending a link of this to all my friends who play whilst burning my guitar in the backgarden !

Excellent creative way to get all the parts in there! YOU ROCK!

Good to see the youngsters playing some PF music!! Does my heart good!!😀

Wow. he's playing the bassline, knocking out the Gilmour solo, and making a sandwich at the same time. Kent is next level species. Love this guy

The first time I heard it I legitimately thought you just overlayed yourself playing the lead and rhythm parts. Absolutely mind-blowing arrangement. Wonderful!

Kent is the living embodiment of "it's what you don't play" that really stands out.

Playing Difficulty Level : 1.Easy 2.Medium 3.Hard 4.Extremely Hard 5. Kent

Great, indeed ! Hi from France

A human can play this good? Holy crap! 🤯

БРАВО....уменья, выше крыши, снимаю шляпу... слушать ----это, сплошное удовольствие !!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I'm crying ! 😫 Even if I practice 24h a day, 7 days a week over 80 years, I will never be this good. Why are some people so talented ?

David Gilmour could not play like this, you are incredible

This is some next level insanely good playing let alone the complexity of keeping it in time/rhythm of multiple parts.. For those of you who don’t play guitar trust us who do... This is brilliant.

WTF, how are you able to play the voice, base beet, base and guitar with just one acoustic??? this is insane...

THE SOLO TOO!? Amazing Kent.....keep these great song choices coming!

Your choice of music and the way you play it is unmatched youre a legend

На мой взгляд это самое лучшее исполнение из всех, что я слышал!!!

Meu! Esse cara dispensa Bateria, contra baixo, guitarra solo.... Ele é a própria banda! 😯😲

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Кент красавчег! Часто пересматриваю видео и получаю удовольствие от игры такого талантливого человека! Спасибо! Не останавливайся!!! Don't STOP !!!!

I wonder if Gilmore has seen this? Just incredible!

Absolument incroyable. Toute une orchestre dans une seule guitare

Never thought you could play that on one guitar??! Wow! Genius!!!

You deserve to have more subscribers. You’re the best guitarist I’ve ever seen in KZfaq. Keep it up 👍

Kent you are the chosen one
