Masa Sumide - Romance (Live)

[garfinorbit]

i try to cover this. take alook of it :D

[azahnd82]

Wow.  I didn't know people could have sex with guitars until now.

[ThomasMon12]

nice.

[Sarma1188]

Any bar/rastaraunt having him would be my fav. I could spend hours there just drinking tee.

[AlvinJarek24]

2 dislikes?!

[johnnyboy115599]

It's such a shame that music is based on looks, voice ( which is the part I respect), and four chords, If Masa Sumide's guitar has a voice that blows Justin Bieber outta the water, to bade people don't see it.

[slayisinsanified]

is this considered bossa nova?

[johnnyboy115599]

This sounds very bossa nova; however, Masa Sumide has a style quite his own, if anything I would say he's reinvented a new type of Bossa Nova, called Orgasmic Asian nova

[slayisinsanified]

@johnnyboy115599 amen!

[zenniz1992]

Image listening to this song with your love one while lazing on the lounge infront of the beach.

[Hardcorelander]

is it me or does it sound like he's plying on nylon strings?

[hypersonic9t]

I WANT THIS IN EVERY ELEVATOR ACROSS THE WORLD!!!!!!

[h00what]

@hypersonic9t and lounges too!

[LordPing2008]

so cute haha

[moradianhong]

i think this tune is full of joke, but with joy as well

[SmalltimR]

I didn't know Davis Suzuki played guitar!

[slayisinsanified]

this song put a smile on my face, and i think thats what he was aiming for :D

[bakamund]

The muted part was so cute xD

[fhwpacific]

jazzy, finger board style... a hint of bossa nova also. He's excellent!

[denis4510]

Excellent Masa - thanks for posting it.

Composed quite a few bosos myself - it is a genre I love. That is a funky boso nova for sure. I am still amazed at how many really great musicians are around. In my early days is was Herbie Hancock and Oscar petersen etc You bought a vinyl and tried to copy.

[3245james]

12 albums in 12 years.... Thats like 6 months writting new songs then 6 months touring with them. Then repeat.... x12.

and I used to think Iron maiden were dedicated lol!

[2sexy4myshooz]

The guitar string that he uses, Dean markley Alchemy P.Bronze string's REALLY GOOD

[StevenRossTv]

what the fuck, im in love with this guy. i love his songs, and i cant get this album anywhere im so gutted. i want tabs too to learn this. keep rocking masa san! your awesome.

[xMadeInKoreax]

Haha you can tell through his music a little about his love life. Puts so much feeling in his music. Awesome!

[chenesere]

Beautiful! he lets song sing

[Harmonikz]

yeah it really sucks... he is very talented and a good composer :]

[atriege]

Love this song!! Hmm.. Bout the other comments? Tabs really help a lot ^_^ a tab for what he's playing should cost so much O.o and then comes the hard work and skill stuff. He's got talent!! Let the wonderful music play and life go on

[atriege]

[sharingan1012]

com on guys don't fight just compliment the musician playing.....and one thing dont be arrogant!

[aoisatan]

all you need is the tuning of the song and you should be able to figure it out

[ixyeoh]

Sweet!!! 12000 views...anyway, as for the tabs-hungry...you can get the tabs by purchasing the tab books directly from a website, just google it, its not VERY VERY expensive, it will take quite a chunk out of your pocket, but its definitely worth it...thats what I am gonna do, since I am not good enough to figure out the tabs from watching and listening...

[MattLikesMusic27]

Tabs aint music its graphs... if you cant read music on a staff youre not good!

that is all

[ixyeoh]

So you're good?

Don't you think its too cocky of you to say what you said?

I see plenty of good musicians who can't read notes but still play well.

Tommy Emmanuel can't read notes, so you are actually saying that he is not good as well?

Seriously, can't think of reason for u to post such reply. Only one reason comes to mind, you're just an arrogant kid who thinks he is a genius just because he can play multiple instrument, and think he is good enough to lecture others about music.

[MattLikesMusic27]

Guess you told me...

[ixyeoh]

And if you say that I know nothing about you, then guess what you know NOTHING about me too. Since I am one of those "stupid" and "not good" players who learn how to play guitar from tabs...guess I am destined to SUCK in music since I can't read a single note eh? And don't try to act nice and being all sarcastic about it, I am only giving what's due for you. You might be good, but it doesn't mean you get to walk around with your nose high in the air looking down on others.

[MattLikesMusic27]

it is kinda funny that you think you have me pinned down pretty good knowing nothing about me.

[ixyeoh]

Ah look who's talking...ain't you high and mighty? And you still haven't explain why you suddenly bring up the topic of "If you can't read music, you suck" topic, about "tabs being nothing but graph, its NOT music kinda thing". You catch my drift? Do clarify whether you think this is insulting or not? Or are you just too ignorant to realize that you insult people by saying that?

[provugab]

Why would I need to read if I can hear?

[byunsunoh]

like the groove in his playing

[westerisbester]

Wow, this more like it. A lot of these guys just kind of bang and hammer away, acoustic guitar shredding. This guy really plays beautifully and the tune is awesome.

[kuandohan]

Amazing Piece!

I can listen to this masterpiece everyday.

[grimforaday]

dont forget alex kabasser

[conancito]

alex kabasser aint that great. I met him 2 times - he is very talented and his music is absolutely great - but he sikmply faded away against don ross and andy mckee who played after him.

greets

[Nateisbored]

u guys should listen to Trace Bundy or Sungha Jung

[conancito]

They are both good, but no match to the top guitarists like masa Sumide, Tommy Emmanuel, Pierre Bensusan, Doyle Dykes or pierre Bensusan. I would place them rank 15 for Bundy and 30 for sungha.

greets

[AGenda92]

don't forget andy mckee, don ross and other candy rat records gutiarists.

if u like masa sumide, u should check kotaro oshio out as well.

[conancito]

Of course - i know them! And dont forget the old Godfathers like Michael Hedges or Will Ackerman.

greets

[ixyeoh]

your cover sucks, so much for figuring out how to play from listening, and here was I thinking that it will be good, pretty disappointing really

[Harmonikz]

man, im like so whipped over this song... but i cant find any tabs! i tried playing it by ear but i cant get the whole thing :( plus i think hes using a differnt tuning -.- PLEASE! IF U HAVE A HEART MAKE A TAB!! <33

[partyboysproduction]

yea it is played in a different tuning but in the official tab book its in standard.

very fun song to play and tabs are really hard to find. My dad tells me that the book was published in Taiwann and only a few japanese websites sell it

[Harmonikz]

so do u know how to play it then?

[Trick209pnoi]

never get tired of this.

this is hella dope.

i think of a couple having a good time in the nightlife of tokyo.

[maiabh]

well sorry if not everyone is Mr Icanlearnhardsongswithouttabs.

and i still want the damn tab.

[grimforaday]

please people stop asking for tabs when he is playing the shit right in front of you.

[bushinarin]

A good deal of these solo acoustic artists that are popping up use very strange tunings.

Being able to see what frets he plays are no good if we don't know how it's tuned. One would have to have a pretty good ear to figure something like that out too.

Don't sweat other people asking for tabs so much, maybe not everyone is on your skill level. You have to accomodate everyone on the internet (or troll the shit out of them).

[ItsTheMatthias]

Uh. This is in standard.

[zipline34]

actually i think it's standard down half a step

[Kissofjuda]

Yeah I think so too

[maiabh]

if i cryed, would someone give me the tab?

=,(

[rewewlyo]

Cool songg very brazilian like, can i have the tabs?

[maiabh]

its a shame his tabs are hard to find... anyone knows where can i get this one?

[yequ123321]

masa sumide rox ~ always give big surprise ^^ amazing~~

[Kev1nnguy3n]

It reminds me of a couple going to the beach. :3

[foolonplanet]

this guy plays some smooth acoustic

[koreanjeenyus]

absolutely articulated.. so superb

[godspresent]

I totally agree, Sumide-san is amazing I love the feeling his pieces convey and his execution, superb :3.

[ixyeoh]

this guy is so awesome, he seems to be having so much fun, but its really sad to see how underrated he is, only 4000 views....really hope that this kinda guitarist will get more exposure, truly a wonderful guitarist

[Francologne]

He just had a big feature in an acoustic guitar magazine, so that will expose him to another 4000 of listeners. Things are looking up, San-wise.

[idkyoo]

@ixyeoh it'sl okie.. it's not all about youtube views to his popularity. but hey it's up at 32k now lol

[123nanacom]

@ixyeoh they recorded this video before youtube even exists....

[BassMullink]

Nice one! 5*

[Leonheart44]
