"E" FFVIII Julia

[MrShineSilver]

Whoo hoo! That was great!!!!!!!! Thanks again lonlon :P

[janjan123456]

aah julia......good times.. reminds me of my childhood :))

[Eman945]

hey lonlon. can you explain to me how you make song covers. how do you put the bass and melody together so easily? It seems time consuming.



[Juancaoe]

It made me cry TT_TT

Nice cover \(^_^)/ !

[Icaro5959]

*-*

[guitarsANDcars39]

are those nylon strings? sounds really nice

[NeksOneFBA]

Epic!

[pizzzachan88]

why is the guitar sound so lovely? is that acoustic or classic guitar? sorry i'm a guitar noob

[takeitorleaveit7]

@pizzzachan88 acoustic and classic guitar arent the same thing? ._.

[Chunkyfudgelover]

@pizzzachan88 That is a steel string acoustic guitar. Classical guitars use nylon strings and the neck tends to be slightly wider, also they don't have cutaways like this one does. Subtle differences, steel string can be more difficult to play due to the higher tensions.

[lonlonjp]

@Chunkyfudgelover Thanks for your replying on behalf of me :)

What you said is 99% correct in general. Most nylon strings guitar does not have cutaways, but some have got one. Most nylon strings guitar have wider necks, but this one has got a narrow neck like an acoustic gutiar, which enables me to play fast upbeat songs. Therefore, we cannot tell it as a classical guitar. We had better call it a hybrid nylon strings guitar with mic...something like an electric gutiar too... lol

[lerex007]

@lonlonjp

lonlon got mad.

GUITAR FIGHT!!!

[frjafopa]

Hey someone can explian me step by step how to play this?... ;( I'm not good enought yet at guitar and i really want to play this...

[ShelleyBlackCrystall]

you're wearing a suit!! :D

[vulvakillfire]

The more i think of it, its kind of like Laguna, and the title character, Julia. how sad.

[vulvakillfire]

Im sitting here on the depressing eve of a very bad breakup. Me and my very first love talked today and talked about the way we felt about each other.It was lovely. We told each other that we wouldn't ever forget our first love, and how we still loved each other...and then walked away. Your music is so calming, it makes me think of how i felt, to walk away from something beautiful and let it be.You must be so kind and giving to give the happiness, the sadness, the love you deliver in your songs.

[xYiazmatx]

@vulvakillfire Merry christmas, friend- how are you?

[TheFenrir666]

Everytime I hear any of the FFVIII songs you'vve done I feel so happy!! =']

[aresitosss]

I wish travel to Japan to learn of you.

I wish play this songs by myself and feel em deep inside.

[deuragon]

damn ur good!!

[150Link]

so calm and beautiful =D incredible ;)

[SORASxKEYBLADEx]

AWSOME JUST IN STED OF THE TITLE BIENG JULIA CHANGE IT TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND OR A GIRL YOU LIKES NAME 8D

[Serilys]

My favorite part was 0:00-1:33. Excellent! I love your rearrangements!

[GeddyLeeYYZ]

I love when you wear suits in your videos! fantastic arrangement lonlonjp :D

[61djim]

bravo 

[TheRycicle]

6 people have no soul :(

[TheRycicle]

6 people have no soul :(

[Spitznats1987]

Nice ring...wanted to be like you.. playing this song with guitar infront of my gf..even she no more with me....what a beautiful rhyme..

[bin1127]

Just having rewatched Cowboy Bebop, this would've been just as great a theme for the scene when Fay was alone on the winter planet listening to the jazz musician.

[203ltachl203]

@lonlonjp maybe you should show some of your grace on the piano

[allabalda]

you should upload some tutorials ...

that would be so cool ^.^

you are a genius man ^^

[debdelable]

six persons envy you because they can't playing guitar like you. YOU ARE AWESOME! :D

[GhostsInTheSea]

This is emotionally moving. You've succeeded in capturing the true, emotional essence of this beautiful song(And putting your own fitting take on it)! Take care.

[pccalcio]

"Easy" !?!? maybe for you :D

[RoldaoKanon]

My God this song is beautiful ... Congratulations, you played it perfectly.

[onewinged07]

OMG. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE CHORDS. my girlfriends bday is SOON and her name is julia. too bad i cant like this 999999999999 times and cant subscribe to you 99999999999 times. YOU ARE THE SAVIOR!

[jshawn777]

thank you for bringing a smile to my face in a down day with song

[Abraham609]

You did amazing! i believe that you could have either the best or worst intrument, best or worst teacher but its what you put into it and how much love you have for music! You sir are passionate i can tell! Good job!

[lovelyhay]

for once i thought that classical guitar arent nice and are only for oldies i saw u playing and i thought to myself 'i am so gonna buy a guitar and play like him'

thanks for the nice songs and videos you play everyday

[edisfoamy]

I wish you were my guitar teacher! :)

[Conspirator1337]

My friend, beautiful rendition, may I please have the tablatures?

[kagebushinuplate]

Thank you so much for making my day lonlonjp.



[saizyorock]

this is so beautiful !

makes me cry .

[jamasterjd]

Dear lonlonjp Love your playing. It is truly inspirational. I was wondering if you ever use vibrato when playing? It crossed my mind while watching this vid. I use vibrato when I play guitar as a reflex from being in orchestra. Maybe it isn't a widely used technique for guitar? Anyways its not as though you need it your playing is magnificent :)

[TheRycicle]

Added to Favorites :)

[Jackisalunatic]

so.....perfect. how could anyone not like this?

[kuyajhet]

woooohh very relaxing sound^..^ good job man!

[FXVG]

Thank you for making this.... I wasn't sure if it was possible to play it on Guitar so well but after watching this I'll definitely give transcribing it a go... This and Waltz for the moon that is :)

[saedt]

reminds me of this girl i have a crush on right now, and she doesn't believe in dating lol... i only wish she would come talk to me just like julia invites laguna to her room

[foodforcrows]

@saedt learn this song on classical guitar and you're golden.

[saedt]

@foodforcrows lol well it's a year ago, but i agree!

[Blackout5871]

I think it sounds prettier on guitar. Gives it more of a sensual feel.

[feeblemind]

ff8 hands down had the best soundtrack ever composed in the series.

[TomatoSoup21]

Can you cover Winhill? I'm not completely sure if that's the name of the song, but I always loved the music in that town.

Thanks.

PS, As I've commented on a few other videos, amazing work.

[geeteo]

hearing this makes my miserable life to have yet hope, thank you for the inspiration

[Royskahdus]

i wish i was that good with classical guitar. Good job, i bet girls like you play :)

[finalfilipino]

If you listen, you can hear a little resemblance to Waltz for the Moon. I can tell because I just listened to Waltz for the Moon just before this one. Haha!

[0crimsonwolf]

Amazing like always, but not what many people would call "easy" to play =]

[Exekutiionr]

Amazing!

[returnleader]

This song is belong to Julia and the man who always sitting at the corner, just listen and smile... I wonder how squaresoft use this song for Squall and Rinoa, that's too mess....

[joelfukingmejor]

5 stars for u my friend

[groverd094]

great!!

very good gob!

5+++++++++

[YourTheBlame]

Dang yo...i dont know what to say.

But your awesome.

[HewieBelli]

guitar version is very nice too,it would be better if you play the full song

[luisfeel]

muy buen guitarrista ....... me llama la atencion su tecnica es bueno--.... y muy buena la ejecucion de este tema.......................un gusto oir esta musica en guitarrra.

[f0re1gn]

This is also my favorite composition by Nobuo Uematsu :) Learning it too by the way, but just can't get past the 0:42 moment in your video (in the original the notes there are much higher). But hopefully, thanks to your video, I will be able to progress :)

You play very well too, good job!

[jayceero]

good job

[ChidoriSnake]

awesome bro!

[ontaru]

hmm brings back some sad memories...

ff8 ♥

[HixXxXxiH]

This is the perfect equal for the piano version! Well done!

[rotienamenam]

this sure brings back a lot of memories!

[hello643]

I really wish you would post tabs... I would really like to learn this, your style.

[Onionboy32]

there are tabs of versions of *this* song, just google it. :)

[ImbarratoL]

The original Title is "Eyes on Me", isn't it ?

[Radicaldreamer255]

Theres two versions of it

[ImbarratoL]

ty yeah i've seen it afterwards but this one isn't the whole song, just the main theme, so I think now the title is well-chosen

[hobybobag3]

@ImbarratoL theres three versions in the game, there Julia, Loves Grows, and Eyes on Me, loves grows is the on you hear the most, Eyes on me is the only one with vocals, Julia is the one you hear when laguna meets julia in galbadia

[ImbarratoL]

thx

[IzwandyKD24]

Julia !!! ehy you diED!!!!!! poor laguna !!! poor Ellone ... and poor me !!! im so touch by your story SOb SOb~~~

[IzwandyKD24]

Sob Sob why!!!! Laguna !! why JUlia Died !!! you didnt take care of her !!!

thks for playing this song smoothly !!

Aw!!!!~~~~ im touch

[delmago1]

Thanks for the spoiler right there.

[fuzzyice370]

Wow......just....beautiful....­.

[ppith]

Amazing guitar version of Julia from FFVIII. Keep up the great work.

[noutathewolf]

A beautiful, yet heartbreaking song for the woman Laguna would never be with. I loove your arrangements ^^

[kidrock0431]

wooohooo i love you!!!!

[grayfoxjaguer]

man im so envy u, u r good

[lonlonjp]

Thanks grayfoxjaguer for watching this video ^o^

[GrandShaz0001]

indeed

[ShayWha]

that sounds great :D

i would really love it if you post some tabs though, if you dont mind, please ^-^

[Bowlcuthurrr]

your guitar arrangements impressive

come second to no other arrangements no affence towards other arangers

It would be great if you could arrange "Great Fairy Fountain", with both the main and background harp, in one solo guitar piece. I believe it is possible...

[karmawithin]

flawless cover!!! you created a whole new beauty for it through the strings of the guitar!

the piano version of this song is my mobile ring tone but I think I'm gonna download this and have it as my new one :)

[blind2blue]

That was beautiful.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video ^-^

i really appreciate many encouragement coming from friends around the world =)

[Heavenzzzzz]

great song

[lonlonjp]

Yes, indeed ^-^

btw, do you play the guitar?

[traveller89]

sir, did you know that you are well known amongst those who know the Final Fantasy series? just imagine the numbers.

[lonlonjp]

well... really? lol

i have never known that before...

[traveller89]

sure! if i ever see a square enix worker in my life, i'll put in a good word for you. you deserve to play for the all and coming FF series^^

[iloveasiangirls]

wow

id ask you to join my band but i think my shoddy instrumental skills (in comparison to yours) would only be a disservice to your talent.

good job :)

[Dark3morize]

man this is the most beautiful piece in the whole ff8 for me..i jus loved it alot...thanx a100 times lonlonjp..

u have shown greatness in world of guitar playing..

ur a hero..

thanx again..

XD

[ashgail]

Final Fantasy 8 simply has the best soundtrack in the post-FFVI era... Thank you for arranging this emotional piece. I hope that someday I can play like you do :)

[OriginalZero]

my favorite of all your pieces. such a simple tune that has more emotion than any other song i've heard. a beautiful translation of a piano piece to the acoustic guitar.

5/5

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for posting your comment and high rating ^o^

[ultramegaman555]

wow, can't wait to learn this one to,

and io think i never said this before, but thx for writing the difficulty of the song at the top everytime, it is such a great help to know which ones i should give a try first and second, makes it a lot easier for me, thx

and sounds great, 5/5

[KMatteKudasaiC]

This is def one of the prettiest songs from the FF games.. I'd always find myself putting down the controller whenever this song came up in the game.. I remember I tried to during the First dream with Julia.. but the song cuts out after a minute or so </3

[DrChikin]

I just listened to the piano version of this song... It's incredibly beautiful. This version is beautiful as well. I think this one should be easy enough for me to figure out. Thanks for posting this, lonlon!

[lonlonjp]

My pleasure ^-^

[Ike6694]

w00t nicely done one of my fav songs in the game :D. Hey do you think you can find time to make a vid of the song How much longer: FFX its preatty awsome song i would like to see how you play it :D

[FullMetalRX]

[vincent1122334455]

this is so beautiful you should do my mind!!! wonder how beautiful it would souund!!!!!!!!!

[kierand6533]

i think this is my favourite work you do lonlon.thanks again.you are very talented and very modest.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your listening to this video ^-^

[iceycom2000]

Great and wonderful man! thanks

[furytanka]

my favourites songs in this playlist are... well they are all excellent you're a fantastic player

[FatalShadowTsu]

Your music is lovely... slams me with lots of nostalgia from the games. Lovely work!

[pepsimaru]

Wonderful !!! Contact me if you make a Cd with your FF's song version please!

[Rainybridge]

brilliant work!! thanks for sharing your ourstanding talent with us.

i am learning to play guitar and love final fantasy very much as well!

i am wondering if it is possible that you can share the sheet of this piece with us, thanks!

keep up your good work and thanks again!

[HerrAmn]

This is excellent! :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your listening ^0^

[TempusTransit]

"Julia" : both my favourite Uematsu song and my favourite Lennon song. Lon, although I only play keyboards consistently, you were the one who first inspired me to buy myself an acoustic guitar and learn "Breezy" (a pretty darn easy song to play since I've practiced more). "Julia" will be the next song on guitar that I'll learn, and keep following in your footsteps from there. You're the best guitar player I know, and certainly my favourite. My thanks is beyond words for inspiring me as you have.

[souchirosagara]

if you say it's easy...then i'll go to practice...

i hope i can do that someday...

thanks lonlon for the awesome play...

matane...

[xellestar]

One of the better Eyes on Me arrangements, it suits the slow tempo very well.

Great job as usual!

[MaliceBloodlust]

This is one of my top 5 that he composed great cover on the guitar your always great at the guitar wish i could play one I could do one on the computer though if i tried

[KirAyagami1988]

i love it, long live you :X:X:X

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video and your comment =D

[kkeelan]

Excellent transposition from piano to solo guitar. It works really well.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your kind comment ^-^

[pieball1984]

This is a great arrangement! I found the transposition on game tab, and am trying to learn it now, thankyou for the opportunity to learn this beautiful interpretation!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching =)

[doublezetagundam]

すげー和みます。

[lonlonjp]

ご声援ありがとうございます☆

[guitaralmond]

Fantastic!! :-) as always :-)

[lonlonjp]

Cheers*

[kierand6533]

Thank you so much lonlon.its so nostalgic hearing you play every one of your ff arraingments.well done indeed.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your kind message ^-^

[Tragicprophecy]

Dude, great work, it's fantastic. I'll never be able to play guitar as well as you, keep up the good work ;)

[lonlonjp]

thanks watching this video ^-^

[sewbernard]

this guitar has a softer, less metallic sound than your other guitar... it works very well with this song. Are you using nylon strings?? and... ARE YOU WEARING A SUIT??????

[lonlonjp]

haha.. you are right^^

This is a nylon strings guitar =)

and i was wearing a pink Hanae Mori Monsieur suit XD

[sewbernard]

well, this guitar has a better sound than your other one and this is the first time i've noticed you wear a suit o.o

[kiimuu]

Aaah this is a wonderful song. Very emotional song to me, thank you for playing it so beautifully!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[guitargod2058]

nice job. i've been trying to play it without the capo. it looks easier with it. do u have the tabs for this song?

[lonlonjp]

i did not refer to and/or play someone's guitar tabs^^

This is my guitar arrangement and i wrote a guitar sheet music with notes by my hand... not guitar tabs with numbers =)

[cutevil]

Great work lonlon.

Do you think this is an easy song for a beginner like me? I've already learned Breezy and Yuffie's theme through your video (still working to perfect them though), and am trying to pick the next song to mess with. Can you recommend me any?

[lonlonjp]

i agree with you that this song is rather easy one....may be suitable for your next song^^ i just happened to find a guitar tabs of "lonlonjp version" of this song on a gametab website.... lol

i did not post it so i cannot gurantee its accuracy though.

[ksaber]

Speaking of that, I've been tabbing your songs, as I love it, your playing and arranging, you put a lot of crativeness into it. You should hava released a FFGuitar Song Book (The best version ^^) , looking foward to that.

Anyway, do you mind If I put some of my tabs of your arrangements in that site, I didn't put any other names on it except yours (the creator). I bet a lot of people are dying to play your songs but don't have the patience to tab them, so, for their sake, I wanna post it. Thks

[reynoldswrap]

i hope you become famous one day lon!:)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your kind support =)

[chinochocobo]

Thank you for taking the sadness away, Sir lonlonjp.

Hearing you play makes me relaxed.

Keep it up :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your kind encouragement^^

[cutevil]

The opposite here! It bring me sadness, but such a pleasant sadness.

[moogleboyviii]

[AnotherSchmoe]

Beautiful! Glad to hear you play this one. =) It's one of my favorites as well, and what an honor that you decided to play it after watching my piano video.  =O You are a far better musician though.

Thanks for sharing as always, you have a gift sir. =))
