An Exceptional Acoustic Fingerstyle Cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’

Guitar virtuoso Kent Nishimura performed an exceptional fingerstyle rendition of Michael Jackson‘s “Thriller” on his acoustic guitar in Mannheim, Germany, where the song’s writer, Rod Temperton, once lived.

I filmed this in Mannheim, Germany. The late Rod Temperton, who wrote this song, He used to live around this area before he started working with Quincy Jones. It was such a beautiful place to film.

Nishimura arranged the song, making it his own while staying true to the original.

This is my new arrangement of Michael Jackson’s Thriller with a new tuning I created specifically for this arrangement.
