Michael Jackson - Human Nature • Fingerstyle Cover (arr: Kent Nishimura)

Описание: An arrangement by Kent Nishimura. ‪@KentNishimuraGuitar‬

I checked the last time I uploaded and realized that it's been more than a year since I put any long format video here. Ain't no way 2025 is ending without a single video, so here is the first and last video of 2025 with my KN-SE guitar.

I've been a big MJ fan since I was kid. There were plethora of CDs and a pendrive full of "Thriller" songs in my home that I used to listen without even understanding half of what the lyrics were, but nevertheless being completely absorbed into those songs. "Bad", "Beat it" and "Remember The Time" were just drilled into my head -- from MJ's moves and the entire choreography to all the different instruments and voicings! I was kinda crazy about MJ back then, but I slowly somehow forgot all about it as I grew up. Until recently, a few months back, "The way you make me feel" came up randomly on my YouTube feed, and I spiraled down into the MJ nostalgia. Eventually coming back to Human Nature.

Human Nature was a song, that I don't particularly remember listening back in my childhood, but I was instantly drawn to it. From Steve Porcaro's original demo to the version that made it to the album, this song stood apart and remained strong. What made it even better to me was listening to John Mayer's live version and Kent's brilliant arrangement. Kent's arrangement had a lot of intricate details that made transcribing and learning the song really fun and challenging. I had one heck of a time practicing it!

I hope you love this song as much as I do and happy holidays! :)

Thanks for watching!
