[ekonomistsven]

really beautiful guitar.....

[tasukisangel]

i love this song. there's a piano version but it's obviously meant for guitar. :P it's hard to play harmonics for me. X:

[SchattensengelPatze]

Great *_*

[tuanhoang0505]

The one who clicks dislike doesn't have memory.

[legatotechniques]

i like it

[prutsikas]

Ultimecia made an account to dislike this video..

[LysergIY]

you should tell the birds and the cicadas to shut up because your playing

[soupalex]

At times, the cicadas(?) sound like someone enthusiastically playing along on maracas. Badly. Sorry, cicadas :(

Your playing was beautiful, though! I've never been a huge fan of Ibanez guitars, but you may even have converted me there; it sounds almost as nice as your Manuel Contreras. Another thing that has never sat well with me is fan arrangements of videogame themes (FFVIII especially, as I get nostalgic), but again your arrangements are all just grand.

Care to try some Frédéric Chopin? ;)

[lam1387511]

the background "noises" fit the mood of the song

[RossGeller79]

i love japan! and you showed me onc again, with your playing outside, how beautiful the nature of japan is! i love this!

this grat guitar playing and the wonderful nature around you!

[kienle51]

Amazing man !!! totally :|

[joeyrule111]

[illegalamigo817]

[AnthonsDirtyVids]

is there a tab of this posted online anywhere? or could you send the tab to me? thanks.

[Wolf2131]

@sirvaan

Cicadas. The video doesn't faithfully capture the peaceful and sometimes otherworldly noise they make, though.

[sirvaan]

good video/cover,but what is that noise loud crickets?

[justinvang]

what type/kind of geetar r u playing?

[lonlonjp]

@justinvang

[JuniperJones2U]

If the leaders of the world could just just stop for a moment and play the guitar for the world as beutifully as you do, the world would be a much much better place. thank you! :)

[theblackmanOyeah]

[delmago1]

[ElmdorMarquis]

Very impressive like always! I'm not sure if you have received a mail i sent you,anyway it say if you would try a song called ''Far from our world'' is of the game Tales of symphonia is a deep song...

[hollowtones13]

Lonlon you have helped me grab insight during a very confusing stage in my life with your playing. thank you

[lonlonjp]

i would be glad if i could be of some help to you ^-^

[Kainthemain]

@lonlonjp could you play it again with better sound. Great stuff!

[noutathewolf]

Wow cicada are loud! Yet they just added a mystical-musical backdrop to your wonderful playing.

[jaimeexd]

[ThePredster]

Its nice to see people play outdoor. I enjoyed this

[Username0502]

Oh wow, the harmonics in this song are amazing. Great job on this one!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[thijsseghers]

The sound of those crows in the background really reminds me of Japan. How I miss that wonderful time there...

I love Japan, I love the guitar, and I love Final Fantasy (and RPG's in general); lonlonjp, you must be my new hero! ^^

I've been watching your vids for about two hours straight now. You rock, man!

Greetings from Belgium!

[lonlonjp]

i visited to your country several times^^

My family enjoyed chocolate and lovely lunch there =)

[thijsseghers]

Cool, if you ever come to Belgium again, you should contact me. ^_^ I live in Waregem, close to Ghent and not far from Bruges.

We really have the best chocolate, fries and beer in the world! :p

I also speak Japanese, but I see you English is very good too! ^_^

Anyway, keep on playing man!

[pauliskewl21]

awsome....i just love the feeling when i play my guitar outside too...

[lonlonjp]

i am glad that you felt the same way as me, a tiny little guitarist ^o^

[metalaxxe11]

Beautiful, i like the backround noise but its just a little too loud, apart from that AMAZING

[lonlonjp]

it was very early in the morning last Summer in Tokyo, i remember it well ^-^

[megge1]

i love this song it alwasy calms me

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^-^

[PinkPzych0]

very, very nice, but now im going to bed, after watching your vids for one hour :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my videos often ^^

Have a sound sleep!

[AndiZemenis]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video =)

[Hardstylen00b]

from*

[Hardstylen00b]

yo ! can ya pls do 'where i belong' for ff8 ? it'd sound great with you playing it !

[rage702]

Oh yeah, i'd love to hear "where i belong" That is one of my favorite songs.

[lonlonjp]

i have uploaded "Ami FFVIII" ^-^

it's almost the same as "Where i belong"

Please watch and enjoy it =)

[edmund025]

NICE ONE

[xxxSavedByAMelodyxxx]

You are definately one of the most talented guitar players that I have ever seen. It definately captures the emotion that Nobuo Uematsu intended.

I especially love the harmonics. They sounded out so clearly. And not once did I hear any strings buzz. Pure expert.

[randall642]

wow its those crazy insects you hear in animes..... it sounds soo much more crazy in real life.. theres nothing really like that around here... its like super crickets!

[RohanS882]

yea.. i live in the city.. never like that here

[paulWRECKZ]

nature man!!! 1000000% cool!

[Kambic11]

woaaaah gooooood jooooob ^^ xD

[lonlonjp]

your icon is so funny ^-^

[xellestar]

Such a great sound from your guitar, great job again.

[lonlonjp]

My guitar would be proud of your comment ^-^

[Sk8boardJerk]

Up first I thought it's impossible to play this song on a guitar...but now I know that it's possible to play every song on a guitar.

Maybe I'll start playing guitar again :)

[lonlonjp]

Please start it again... your guitar has been waiting for this moment to share =)

[prutsikas]

Incredible....

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^-^

[qazwsxasdedc]

So peacefully, it really touches, and it seems like nature wants to sing along, i really enjoyed this arrangement...

Gratefull i could hear it once more... i never gonna stop liking this....

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your kind comment^^

[qazwsxasdedc]

My pleasure, my friend lon, hearing the gentle whisper of your guitar, being accompaigned with the natural beauty of japan, it's really a pleasure ^^.

[sewbernard]

it was incredible! i do not personally like this song too much because i find it a bit draggy but you did a very good job

[murasuX]

so wonderfull,nice play

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement^^

[drunyon214]

This is fantastic!  I love how you played it outside with the natural sounds. It's very unique!

[lonlonjp]

haha... thanks^^

[bleakraven]

0:33 was very beautiful, it seems as if nature wants to sing along as you play

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your nice comment^^

[lunaralan]

@bleakraven Yeah. Way too loud though. So it's more like it's screaming at him =) Anyway, Wish he could have toned it down a bit since the melody is very high toned and harder to hear with all the sounds or noises around.

[murasuX]

so beautiful.can i have the tab?

[guitaralmond]

beautiful

[wonderwallmusic]

I think the birds and cicada are singing along :)

[AnotherSchmoe]

Yes, but they're singing a little loudly! Haha, it's all good. Very beautiful.  =)

[drakonimetal]

0:08

How you make this harmonic?

Awesome playing, congratulations ever! =D

[themattness]

Not all harmonics have to be open... if you practice tapping the harmonic and plucking the string both with the right hand you will be free to change the pitch with the left.

Just make sure to play the harmonic 12 frets above the note you want to play. I think that was what you meant?

[dr7ackal]

from the way u played that song i know u played by your heart, not just by a fingers..

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your nice comment^^

[reynoldswrap]

very very lovely indeed!

[Venom65437]

Playing this outside really made it better. Awesome job!

[tasukisangel]

wow nice. using harmonics. nice.

[taureau105]

Wonderful, simply. !!! Continue!

[Fujikaya]

I want to play this on my guitar too :)

[lonlonjp]

Please play this on your guitar, my pleasure^^

[aquamarine37]

the piece goes well with the atmosphere. brings me back to when i would play and run around outdoors as a child. nice touch. (:

[lonlonjp]

i really appreciate your nice comment =D

[OattiM]

The cicadas sure are noisy :7 Beautiful sound, you're a pro at playing.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

[MournEternally]

First I'd like to say that this is an absolutely beautiful arrangement of one of my all time favorite Final Fantasy tunes. I was wondering what strings you use?

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

As for strings, i do not remember it exactly on this video. i choose guitar strings, mostly depending upon my restricted budget XD it might be "Epiphone Light" if i remember it correctly.

[animaanimaanima]

wow

at 1st, i was like: the pitch is too high

but u manipulate it well

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your compliment^^

[Neohunter99]

so beautiful...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks^^ i like a sound of a guitar, like no other =D

[zyffe]

Hey! Is that guitar plugged in to an amplifier or is it the natural sound of the guitar? How much does it cost to buy? I LOVE the sound. Awesome videos though.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video^^

Regarding your question, it was plugged in to an amp directly, not using any effecters. As it was very early in the morning, i played my guitar quietly. The black guitar is Ibanez EW10A, about $300 as new, very reasonable priced indeed! i am not an agent of the guitar maker though XD

[mewtwo1928]

I wanna play like you man, you get a beutiful sound out of your guitar, i`m from Mexico but live in the USA... thank for keep on doing what you do...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

i will keep some efforts to upload some more videos.

Hope you enjoy them.

[jasperorfila]

hey just ask?? do you live in philippines??

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my video =D

no, no. i live in Japan^^

This video was recorded at Mitaka-city, in Tokyo.

cheers

lon

[jasperorfila]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my video^^

Sorry, i do not write my arrangement on guitar tabs, because i do not need them.

anyway, this is a beautiful song and hope you enjoy it on your gutiar by watching this video =D i would be glad if this video will be of some help to you.

[EmphaticItalic]

Steel string guitar + nature = perfection!

[th1rdeye462]

Amazing, this is my favorite Final Fantasy piece. It does bring back memories.

[AsakuraMyahle]

Another great version, as always. I think that Where I Belong would definitely rend a beautiful version by you, lonlonjp. And as always, it brings back memories ^^

You have a real gift my friend. Nobuo Uematsu may have composed them, but you really bring the songs to life on a whole other level =).

[lonlonjp]

Thank you so much for your kind comment =D

[fendermac]
