Earl Klugh must be smiling and nodding his head with approval for this excellent rendition.

This young man’s taste in music is well beyond his years. Phenomenal talent and musicianship is off the charts…

Having heard Earl Klugh perform this song in concert several time & owning a bunch of his albums, this young man really captures Earl's essence as musician. I'm impressed.

A guitar is just a bundle of wood and strings without the man... The man is just a bundle of skin and bones without the heart. The heart in this young man is translated directly to music... Fellows this is what a heart sounds like. Amazing.

I think we already have a musician from the new millennium, any single song on your fingers has become masterpieces. The strings of your guitar pulsate in time with your heart. And what a wonderful heart. He would spend hours watching his concerts.

In my 50 years of life, you just might be the best guitar player in the World.

Not very often you actually get to watch and hear a genius at work.. But there it is people right there!!

I'm a huge Earl Klugh fan and I actually prefer this version because of the absence of vocals . . . makes you appreciate the instrument playing brilliance even more . . . this guy is simply outstanding!

Have you seen the live concert of Earl Klugh where he played that music but recorder-flute was used instead of the vocal part? It is actually the best version

Absolutely agree!

This amazing young man, Mr. Kent Nishimura, and others like Mike Dawes, Alexandr Misko, Gabriel Quevedo, Jon Gomm...they all have transcended "guitar playing". THESE artists, all of them, deserve Emmys, record deals, accolades, praise, and monetary reward for mastering their craft. For me, they are revitalizing hope for humanity. Just effing awesome, one and all. Thank you for YOU, Mr. Nishimura!

Kent belongs to the elite when it comes to guitar playing. All the small details of every song he played really amazes me, so precise. Its like you are listening to the original song. Kent deserves not only a million subscribers but hundreds of millions strong subscribers. One of the most underrated guitarist in the planet. Subscribe now coz this guy is no doubt the best maker of guitar cover in the world.

Underrated for sure. In order to be commercially successful, showmanship has to be in the mix. Someone like Tommy Emmanuel. Regardless I stay up till wee hours listening to Kent’s covers and marvel at his skills.

I am overwhelmed by the level of this talent and skill This is not about showing off, but all about beauty. I know no one in this genre. Never heard one single player sound like a combo.

Smooth like butter! Earl Klugh will be proud. 👏🏾👏🏾

I was Fifteen when I heard Keith Jarrett. I am fifty and I hear Kent Nishimura. I love Glenn Gould too and all the fabulous genius like you.

Who are the 34 people who gave a thumbs down? This young man is incredible. I should have been asleep an hour ago, but I can’t stop watching his videos.

Earl Klugh is one of my all time favourite guitarists, but this version is just brilliant, There are not many covers that are much better than the original, this is one.

Beautiful rendition, Kent. Klugh is such great guitarist and deserves to be well known by the new generation.

Sadly, only actual musicians can truly understand how good Kent is. The guy does not aim to impress if his arrangements are any indication. I'm afraid to say this guy will never get the massive appreciation he truly deserves. Yes, he has a lot of followers now, but if the number of followers should properly reflect one's talent, skill, and heart, this guy should have millions of followers.

Kent Nishimura never ceases to amaze me with his incredible talent, skill and precision. Keep on playing to make a lot of people happy.

SIMPLY STUNNING and so beautifully produced and played..... Kent YOU are a Genius and such a wonderful Talent, a real pleasure for both the eyes and ears, these videos. Thank You for sharing your gift!!

Love this young man's musicianship. I wouldn't say better than the original, just a different version. After all this song is almost 30 years old! Love to hear this young man doing some of his original compositions.

He is a living God among us

Fingerstyle guitar whiz kid. Phenomenal

Simply beautiful. Thanks Kent. What a gift you have.

I do not have the words in my vocabulary to describe how absolutely beautiful he plays. Thank you Kent Nishimura for your music.

Kent is magic.

Magic in his hands, there's no words to describe it

I still cannot believe my ears 👍👍👍

By far the best render of this song I've ever heard

I have been in the last 40 years a big jazz fan, hearing all the great jazz players, since the mid 70´s, but someone like you, never in my life, tv or radio, let me tell you K.N., today 16 is my birthday, and founding you in youtube, have been my birthday present.

Better than Earl playing with a full band. Just my humble and accurate opinion.

I've grown tired of trying to tell you how amazing you are, but here's goes........Truly Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you Kent!!! And much respect to the camera man/woman!

A millennial who covers old songs.. Godsent. ❤️

Human beings are amazing animals, and this guy is at the top of the heap in terms of evolutionary brilliance. Simply unbelievable.

Mix George Benson and Earl Klugh tssk amazing Kent Nishimura.

Kent, you are a total pleasure to listen to; your gift is divine.

Its a time machine disguised as a guitar. Dude you've just sent me 4 decades back in time,... 😂

Oh my gosh... you bring back fond memories as far as 3 decades ago. I am tearful. Wow you made my day!

Kent,I listen to this one at least 5xs.a day 🦋🦋🦋😇🙏🙏🙏🌈😇😇😇🌞

Me too!

We in the guitar family all have those who inspire us to play, duplicate a sound riff or solo. That is until now. In a singular sense chord structure. Tone. Touch. Voicing. But to see and hear all of the above in a 17 year old. I can play most anything except u. I may show my butt on stage, buy in my quite study I will pull my chair up and listen learn and practice. You are the new level of perfection.

This kid is an amazing musician...

Kent, that was so wonderfully played version. Memories of the iconic Earl Klugh.

When I close my eyes and listen you play, the sound just like come from a band of musicians playing instruments.

I’m 53 years old and I’ve been listening to Earl Klugh since the beginning. I must’ve heard this song 1000 times! However this is the best version I’ve ever heard. I’ll be listening to this at least 1000 times!

Outstanding Version.

" Beatyfull Acustic Guitar Sound ". .. Nice One ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋

By far the most cleanest and detailed cover of my all time fav song from Earl Klugh. You do it very well

GIFTED.

Aloha from Hawaii, Nishimura-san! Man, in Hawaii we say chicken-skin. You are creative genius to translate Earl Klugh piece to an acoustic steel 6-string guitar is phenomenal. Bradduh, you have a special talent at your age. So beautiful, I can feel it coming from heart, which translate into an awesome guitar who has a passion. Keep on going, hopefully we see you one day in Hawaii, performing your favorite pieces.

Fingerstyle guitar music literally saved my life, and continues to on a daily basis. Keep practicing, everyone.

Magical , beautiful, perfection 🫣❤️

finally i can hear again the MUSIC...hi Kent, thanks a lot.

. . . brought tears to my eyes.

His song and style are magical, when I hear it, I like it right away

Superb arrangement with warmth, depth and tone. Your playing is full of colour like an exquisite piece of art. Thanks for playing to us!

Great performance on a great Earl Klugh’s song! It is not easy at all!

That powerful chorus really took me by surprise, damn 😨

I've never seen a guitarist playing so damn clear like you do. A guitar virtouso no doubt about it, and aside from that you surpassed all the great guitarist out there. Playing acoustic that clear is so hard. I've playing guitar for almost 2 decades but i can't play the way you do. Congratulations! You are the best indeed!

Stumbled upon this cover and now I can’t live without it!! Love it so much... Thanks a million!!!

Wow! Amazing details. Remarkable presentation. Well done. Thanks for sharing your skills with us. Love

smooth,warm kent you are the deal. thank you

im glad this guys not influenced by hip hop got to keep the real music alive !

Kent, Excellent Job on this beautiful Song. In my honest opinion, Earl Klugh is the most underrated guitarist of the last 45 years. Guitarist like yourself prove Earl’s influence on the playing of this instrument. I have subscribed.

Americas Got Talent needs you Nishi San go there and win

His guitars are so lucky and happy.

WOW! Virtuoso Kent!

From one who grew to love smooth jazz at his age, can’t wait to see what else there is.

Kent you really amazed the world with your guitar playing.

Ohhh my... this is pleasant for my ears 🥲

this. is. pure. insanity. GOD LEVEL!

It's like eating a great dish with all this fantastic flavors rolled into one. Just speechless. I'm eating with tears in my eyes for this one.

Smooth and silky with no showing off ! just a masterpiece of guitar playing.. Bravo... L.A Rob

From a fellow guitarist who appreciates great guitar music, my heartfelt congratulations to you Kent. You're simply amazing.

Brilliant! Played so cleanly yet delicate phrasing.

Top top!!

Lovely version. Beautiful tune, beautifully played 👍😎

That is Amazing

For a while there I thought the word “genius” was dead. Very grateful for the reminder; thanks.

どこまで天才なんだ、この子は！

Wow!

Immaculate....

Hallo Kent, you're creating covers with a love and a care for details that are truly unattainable, world-class covers! I'm really amazed at how rich they are. And you can play with a great, exceptional feeling! Great Grea Great!! Luca, from Rome

This young man got game. Always keep humble. The way the music flows just close your eyes and it becomes so real. As if you were there living it.

This guy is outworldly

Yesss bro love your taste in making the guitar sing. Beautifully played! Respect from New Zealand

Love this Artist! Pure joy in his heart when he plays.

It's amazing how easy he makes it look.

Im very enjoyed your finest playing and felt your soul, different characters best player i have ever seen, im impressed, succes for you 👍

This guy is awesome. Keep playing Kent!

Sublime, simply sublime.....

OMG, the SOLO! I am stunned! Best cover ever!!!

Wow, I am in tears, "Living inside your love" is one of Klugh's great compositions. I'd love to listen this musician playing some of José Feliciano's songs, like "Chico and The Man" among others, even a collaboration recording.

Besides indescribable talent... No. Hard work, I love the choice of music

I love this version, it's simply magical, I am a huge earl klugh fan and he did a good job on this.

This is the first video I watched from Kent. I’m a big fan of Earl Klugh and after hearing this great arrangement, I’m now a big fan of Kent Nishimura.

Wow. Didn't even miss the sax. 😌 Thank you, that was so soulful

素晴らしい演奏ありがとうございます。

Awesome!! I really love the way you play those harmonies
