    Ever since I was a kid, I have been able to separate different parts of a song as I'm listening to it, from the percussion to the bass to the guitar, keyboard, etc. I could listen to this over and over again. It's food to my ears. I can't get enough of this. What an insane genius you have, Kent Nishimura, and what an inspiration you are to so many musicians out there. Wow! Just, wow!

    Hey Kent,
    Good music to me, is when you forget if it's a band playing, just a guitar , maybe a piano, if there's singing at all.
    Damn, you Even forget you're listening...
    From the moment you reached the first chorus, I just forgot myself, and for me, this where the magic happens, and the reason I love music.
    It's so full, rich, tight, flowing.
    So Michael.
    You're a true gift to the music world my friend.
    Wish I'll see you live one day, or even better, play together.
    Stay safe,
    Yoni

      ..like writing a movie, then shooting it in one take.. just the amount of calculation that must go into every note and every transition, no missed opportunities, no missed details, no compromises _on anything,_ yet everything all at the same time, *from a box with strings.* We've arrived; this is it, the ultimate, logical conclusion of "playing the guitar". I mean, what else is there - making it beatbox, or talk to animals? If, as a species, we stopped everything else we're doing right now and began beaming this channel into space with all the power we can muster, we might finally have justified our existence to the cosmos, is all. "Playing the guitar". One thing we've definitely got down pat.

    My God that was amazing! As a lifelong MJ fan, I idolize and obsess over all his unique and intricate vocal phrasings and man, you mimicked them all perfectly on the guitar. You really must have studied the song inside and out. I enjoyed that so much and I am blown away! Well done Sir. Michael would be proud!

    Everytime you upload a song to youtube I think: "Now how is he going to top that?"... and everytime a new vid pops up I am amazed allover again. Pure perfection. Thank you.

      Rarely watch twice but.....this one was good! All the jazz guitar players know how difficult arranging is let alone playing it. Such a clean, precise, unencumbered sound.

    I was thinking it would be just another Tuck Andress' style but since I am a Kent Nishimura's fan, I thought to give it a try and boy I'm not disappointed..

    I think people like these are the true aliens. Look how young he is and as good as he is. This just doesn't come from practice. He has a command of tuning and the fretboard that is unbelievable. I just look and listen and just throw my hands up. Too good. Too skillful.

    I still remember that feeling when I came across fingerstyle watching old Tuck Andress VHS, when he starts his "fingerstyle mastery" video tutorial with this fantastic song. It was unreachable for me, a one guitar sounded like an orchestra. But your arrangement and performance is waaaay cool. Fantastic groove, like a freight train without brakes ) Made my day, Kent, good luck!

    Another reason why I love your arrangements, Kent, is because other guitarists, particular jazz musicians, reharmonize and add so much to the song that I can't even tell what's going on. I don't understand any of the complex, over-the-top intellectual musical stuff going, and that's coming from someone who has a basic grasp of music theory already. I love how sweet and concise your covers are-- nothing overly intellectual or jazzy, just the good ol' song perfectly recreated, with all the details, as the original sounds. Keep doing what you do!

      other (jazz) guitarist cannot do this .. this guy is totally unique.. we are witnessing something really special here..ive been playing guitar over 45 years and have seen
      a lot of the great (fingerstyle) players but no one can come close to this guy... just compare tuck andress his version.. then u know what i mean

      I agree completely, the man does percussion, lead, rhythm, bass, and melody but doesn’t add any unnecessary flare.

    • @mmettej
      @mmettej Před 2 lety +11

      As someone who was trained for years in jazz I completely agree. I respect this style so much because of the musical intricacies and harmony arrangement, Not just dissonant bs that’s purposefully avant- grade

    • @alichamas63
      @alichamas63 Před 2 lety +2

      Your opinion isn't a reflection on jazz though, it's a reflection on your own simple tastes. Preferring comic books to Michaelangelo doesn't make him less of a master.

    became obsessed guitar when I watched SRV's "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo performance back in 2007. watching Kent this past year is the only other time I've been truly in awe of someone playing guitar. a lot of amazing players out there today, but this man is a legendary talent. hope we all realize what we're witnessing here
