Loss of Me - Final Fantasy IX - Guitar

[weakerthan17]

aweeeesome!



[PatBateman63]

The sound quality might be poor, but you're making this FFIX song sound like a lost track off of Classical Gas.

[analbl00dfest]

excellent work Stamen, even though this was years ago. thanks for all the tabs!

[mortifagotenebroso]

Best Final Fantasy ever. Final Fantasy IX is so special... I never get tired playing it...love it. Great job with guitar!

[Xx19Lawliet87xX]

good!!=D

[Lyscander]

it sounds amazing you really did a great job. ~ but the song your playing is actually called "Rose of May", loss of me is a translation error.

[blitzace6289]

wow..amazing my friend! keep it up

[FantasyFreak1988]

@sharuto : the best day of your life? When I saw the end of FF9 it was the worst day of my life.. I wanted more !!

[MrShinigamishant]

@FantasyFreak1988 EXACTLY !

[gabelazo1515]

excelent video dude, nice work!!! hope to see more ff themes

[Tikku4ever]

You made the best character theme from FFIX sound even more awesome. Well done!

[leonardoplis1]

the problem of this version is that it is insanely hard to play!!!

but it sounds way too good =P

Great job

[EdreesesPieces]

dude, i love you...you transposed these songs so perfectly on guitar, and provided all the tabs..and you have an intermediate/advanced version with a deeper/fuller sound. LOVE IT! subscribed.i'm gonna learn to play all these songs (=

[tomdu79130]

I love this song.... great videos

[3141Bruna]

Aewsome!

[draghetto93]

Yes, this sounds a lot better on guitar than piano.... I'm trying to learn this but it's pretty hard but I knwo I can do it U_U

[Windurster]

@draghetto93 Its just a question of taste, i prefere the piano version, but i also like the guitar version :p

[TheMuffinCITY]

You are crazy draghetto93 lol... sounds ten times better on piano, not saying that guitar sounds bad though

[xavier8994]

i gotta say.......i like it better on guitar than piano.....

then again i hate the piano so that opinion might be biased....

[japiie]

you got all my respect I love this song ! :)

[Lukeypoo91]

Good job! Final Fantasy has some really catchy tunes and you've mastered this one!

[HowToDrawAnimeVideos]

[kibaalberto]

[konaami]

[Georginito]

Good!!!:)

[Boghman22]

Start slowly with a metronome, devise patterns and shapes which contour to your hands, and gradually build up speed.

[RevTweak]

That looks insanely hard to play. Nice job, man! Great song choice too.

[PegRekab]

you have a gift!

[xoulala]

[CreatorForLife]

You really is amaxing :-D

[Konner]

One of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite games

[Uanasblech]

Fantastic. 5/5

[Relaera]

This video is incredible. Awesome job.

[killer9042]

dis is great...AWESOME!

[Cloud6556]

wow your making me start to think that maybe this song should have been performed on guitar O_O i love it :)

[KintarosTiger]

Who cares about the quality? The audio, the most important part, is wonderful. It can be a bit off, but you really tried, and heck, it's better than anything I can play on guitar (which is essentially close to nothing).

Very good job. I LOVE this song. One of my favorite FF themes.

[kensnowxu]

hey you played good and lovely!

thank you for your tabs!

[roachstr0099]

tabs? WHERE? i want the tabs. can i google it?

[xenon974]

[adjauni]

[zetsushoren]

man, that song's hard on guitar... good job...

[SoulessLord]

hey you're really good! nice song

[Guitar1horse1manzana]

it looks so difficult on guitar. Well Done. I'm trying to learn it on the keyboard but I always forget the low notes

[z0nya]

Great :)

[Solreno]

Debería haber más interpretaciones de esta composición que está capacitada excepcionalmente para la guitarra clásica.

[1Boromir994]

ok well dude u fooled me i thought u were playing lead but i notice that ur doing the rhythm part of the song well i sure as hell want to learn tat part! its a few chords and picking i got the lead part done but i need that rhythm

[MyLife4Urs]

Make tabs man!!pleasE!!!!!

[bluntobjct]

nice mate, the hand thing is kinda creepy though :p

[awesomedude288]

This is such a brilliant song-one of the best from the game in my opinion. Well played.

[slimsephy]

Mysterious hand at :53  o_0

[zesitesdunet]

franchement ... respect

it's fabulous

[Jonny2myren]

Man this was so brilliant, love this song and your version is just awesome.

[megapraimturvo]

[mooglebh]

i know i love it XD! ff9 is my fav out of them all

[nunchaku1992]

ff9 got the best music!!!!!

[sharuto]

u got that right and the 1st FF i played was FF9 and that was the best day of my life when i end the game

[nunchaku1992]

true!

[Awezumi]

Agreed

[NiitLeonhart]

@sharuto I thought it was one of the worst days of my life when I ended a FF game..

Just like waking up after a nice dream..

[gabelazo1515]

@sharuto i agree with you hehe

[leonpal14]

who would not like this dude's beat way to go great song and how did u play it sooo well????

[TheCallOfTheRyan]

Having sworn fealty, must I spend my life in servitude?

[Bruinsma1987]

You sir... Are fucking awesome. I love that song. Keep on doing the good stuff :)

Got any tabs for this?

[GVBahamut]

The shitty webcam is a real petty, makes it too hard to keep track of what he's actually playing. Cause i have to say that this is really well done, great version and very well played.

[aibhrvfiuqlvgiubeilr]

ole tu guevo

[UsedDoor]

Thanks.

Now I know that it IS do-able.

You have no idea how inspirational you've been, just by tabbing that. <33

[qazwsxasdedc]

i realized that there was no remaining persons on this world who remembered this so beatiful full of adventurers and magic rpg, but i was wrong

"Dont lie yourself, trus yourself"

"Is worst be forgotten than death..."

"I do what i want, you got a problem!?"

"How can we prove that we exist? maybe we dont exist"

"One day i´ll be queen, but i ever going to be myself"

"You need a reason to help people?"

"I dont want to be alone anymore..."

and the amarant one that i no remember for now...

[Godyss]

The only sure thing about the future is uncertainty, or something like that. =D

[qazwsxasdedc]

o yeah.. right =D, thanks xD

[vandammetj]

FF9, that Game changed me so much...

[qazwsxasdedc]

im with you...

[69EYESROCK666]

yeah me too love tht game i know ppl say that 7 is the better game but i think 9 is far better vivi is the Greatest

[TheEnigmaticRonin]

damn beautiful ;), keep it up!

[Godyss]

T.T This was my favorite song on FFIX. You did a beautiful job with it. Some notes were sour, but everything else was great! Kudos.

[qazwsxasdedc]

this songs is my favorite too

[Vellont]

wow nice one man - at first i was doubting how this would sound cos its more of a piano piece but you sold it.

[jergola]

so good!- great playing,keep it up

[jenksdebest]

cant wait for lost odyssey to come out.. its like final fantasy but only for the xbox 360 and made by the maker of FF.

[realasmatu]

oh very good

[snakelevampire12]

Nice playing ^^ have you got the tabs plz ?

[appocalypse9999]

Awesome! I hated all of the Final Fantasy games but they have the BEST soundtracks I've ever heard.

[realasmatu]

perfect! where you get the tab?

[TheVideoKnight]

you can get it on gametabs (dot) net, go to playstasion 1, then Final Fantasy IX, then loss of me. The upper one is a simple version, the one below it is the version shown in the video, hope this helps

[Kuja55]

Whow! FFIX fans 4ever xD

[ChiceJigle]

AWSOME is the only way i can describe this vid. 5 stars.

[liquidpyramid]

great job man.. finally bought myself a new classical and i'm learning this one now.

[gargatu614]

Wow, I was too busy paying attention to your guitar to even notice there being another person behind you!

[Jiberachi]

Awesome, love it!

[leetuanling]

IMPRSSIVE !

[ScaredHelmet]

Thanks for the tabs, you inspired me to learn this song :D

[SokyMogil]

Sin palabras man.

Perfecto.

[italowill]

stamen  adoro lo que has hecho. magnifica interpretacion. estoy seguro de que cuando lo interpretes perfectamente sera algo muy pero muy bello. me gusta tu trabajo. eres una inspiracion para mi. estoy practicando pero nada me sale bien. si. seguire intentando aunque me cueste. lo lograre. gracias por esa bella melodia.

[RelentlessAgony]

Amazing! You did a great job.

[bastianfrusciante]

Thanks for the website

Anyway I liked how you played

Great job

5/5

[Michaelfender]

Hand me a cigarette because I just came.

[GigaTastic]

Dude, that's insane. I'm trying this on the guitar, but its really hard ö, how long did it take you to handle it?

[mehdi1405]

Beautiful, i love it ! :D

I love this song and you play it very great ! ^^

-5 stars-

[x1aznflipsta]

just looking at the chords you use makes me not want to play it.. looks too hard haha

any other easier tabs out there??

[Stamen47]

Yes, actually. Kabukibear's tab on the gametabs website (I think he calls it Rose of May or something) is easier and, I think, sounds just as good. I think I was slightly insane when I arranged/learned this. It's possibly the hardest thing I've done, but isn't the most impressive (not to brag and say all my other stuff is really impressive, but...well, whatever)

[x1aznflipsta]

thanks man

[EvilHeadBoy]

your hands are dancing and that's what makes it impressive, I like how you play because you're not showing off and you're awsome

[evilfurion]

Stamen is one of the few that deservers my 5/5 rating on youtube :D

very nice playing man, this is inspiring

ps: Was ur mother on the pc behind u? ^^

[Stamen47]

Yep, that's my mom, playing sudoku or something on the AARP website.

[Theblackwinged]

Wow!!!!

This is good! Especially the beginning is done well! Only tiny mistakes in it, but I'm convinced you know yourself ^^

[dinosaur521]

Fabulous!

[coachben]

Beautiful, I love it.

[sadboy89]

good job !

[Cookies4Santa]

The tab you have up there is a LITTLE different than how I usually read. Uhm, so you have one kind of like the ones on Ultimate Guitar? Thanks :]

[Aelith]

Fantastic!

[RobRock07]

Nice

[moniboy99]

good job on your original play

[Kipcha92]

Beautiful!

[Jack00pumpkin]

wtf O.o

man you rock !

[revolverileo]

Aargh my hand is on fire from trying to learn that. You got some killer chords there :D

[darkzack]

i didnt know of this version. i could only find a simplified version of it.

[Stamen47]

yeah, I was somewhat ruthless with this tab. I'd love to see the tabs you use, though. Where can I find them?

[QueensOfThePwnAge]

haha very well done dude

[bubbasparxxxxxxxx]

That was so well done, thanks for posting!

[joaoppdarocha]

oh gz ppl the tabs are at his site or gametabs dot com, are you blind or what? lol

[xchino64x]

wow..thats really good...where did you get the tabs for that?....if possible can you send me them....i love final fantasy

[kfal21]

you totally rocked it=D

[iced87]

hey man, can you give me the tabs?

[slikmastah]

dude, this video rocks

[smallpenis1]

you pinky fingers are really, really long...

[Stamen47]

Yeah, that stretch from 1st fret 6th string to 5th fret 1st string is quite a pain...I figured out a good way to avoid that stretch once, but I've forgotten.

[playstationMaster93]

you're pretty good :)

[4RM0]

Oh so are you playing in an office/cubicle/whatever cause I see file cabinets and that's somewhat unusual for someone your age

[Stamen47]

Actually it's my house...well, my parent's house haha. My parents keep the file cabinets in the computer room. You can see my mom playing sudoku or something on the computer in the background.

[4RM0]

Nice one man, you got some long-ass fingers

[JakeWantsYouDead]

This is awesome. Anyone who says otherwise deserves to get their headshoved into a cement mixer with large bits of glass in it. Loss of Me sounds awesome on guitar. And you pull of the song wondurfully(sp? I can't spell)

[smallpenis1]

wow... you sure have long pinky fingers... mine are too short to play that well, ergh

[kelleth]

I love this song, and it sounds great! I'm currently learning it on piano, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the guitar part. :D

[TraleStrife]

Great job dude, FFIX all the way! But you call the tab your tab? It sounds an awful lot like the actual tab for the song, sure its not? lol

[Stamen47]

umm....define "the actual tab for the song". As far as I know, there isn't an "official" one. If you mean to say that it sounds like the actual song, well...that was the idea haha. I assure you, however, that I made this arrangement. Could you tell me what tab you're thinking is the "actual tab"? I don't think I've come across another classical arrangement for this song before, so I'm curious.

[TraleStrife]

I'm pretty sure the "actual tab" was in a tablature book realeased for certain guitar based ffIX tunes, and im not sure it was just a question no need to get defensive. ;)

[Stamen47]

Sorry if I came off as being defensive, that wasn't my intention. The only final fantasy guitar book I'm aware of is the final fantasy guitar solo collection book (or something like that), and loss of me isn't in there (or any of the songs that sound like it). I couldn't find a ffIX guitar book by doing a google search...but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist! If it does I'll have to check it out, it sounds great. If you find it, please let me know. Thanks!

[TraleStrife]

Ya dont get me wrong i like your playing, i was just wondering. I learn all my songs by ear too if thats what you do so right on...

[joaoppdarocha]

nice :) i feel like playing with steiner and beatrix

[xXKujaXx]

Wow pretty good. Who cares about video quality, it sounded fine. I have a good Camera but it's not great at capturing audio. Anyway, I can play a handful of songs from FFIX and I think I'll check out your tab for this one. Thanks

[lloydx4]

didu tab all of those yourself?

[Syroya]

This is great!

And you have a great tab-site.

Keep up the good work.

I'll try this when my hand is recovered. :p

[rapidfire21]

lol im still struggling with the intro. u rock man

[cpopi]

please please please tab this... or point me in the direction of a tab =o <3

[Stamen47]

I've got all my tabs on my website in the video description.

[IGSXIII]

Hey, that sounds very good, I even remember that tune from the game. Some of Nobou Uematsu's pieces sound really nice on classical guitar or piano.

[ladyraynora]

wow, that's pretty good! ^^ I'm learning to play gutair XD I personally want to learn to play vamo alla flamenco!

[ficklampa1]

bad ass.

work on keping your wrist on the right hand straight.

a good way to get problems later on to keep it bent like that.

[Stamen47]

At first, I thought that my wrist was just bent because of the uncomfortable position I was playing in, but when I played how I usually do, I realized that I do bend my wrist, it was just more extreme in this video due to my position. I'll have to start fixing that! Thanks for noticing this, ficklampa.

[VolcanoDestroyer]

Tempo stinks? Mistakes? Nah it's bad ass!  Poor video quality? Who cares. Sound quality is still pretty good =).

[Stamen47]

You know, watching it again today, I realized that I had a few hesitations, and the tempo wasn't perfect, but overall it's ok, so I think I'll leave this version and work on something else. If I want to get anything done, maybe I shouldn't focus on being such a perfectionist :) Thanks for your goodwill, volcano!
