Thanks again

[scottstanton1]

[Qpidon]

[ChrisWigginz]

This is by far my favorite Masaaki song. You put such feeling into each note. Wonderful playing :)

[hatinana87]

good playing！

[chaoticblue123]

Oh yeah, I also gave you the site to buy tabs and new stuff from Masaaki Kishibe a while ago, did you end up getting anything?

[chaoticblue123]

Thank you very much! Seeing this video a while ago turned me towards discovering Masaaki Kishibe, and I've learnt a few of his songs since then! Your stuff here on youtube has been one of my inspirations to keep practicing XD Hope you put up another video soon if you're not too busy!

[Agar101]

what does Hajimari mean?

perfect melody perhaps?

well played Pascal =)

[Qpidon]

if I remember well, it means *Beginning* or something ;)

[GreenFr0g]

I don't normally comment on videos...but this is so nice that I'll make an exception.

You are a great player.

[Qpidon]

I am flatterd. Thank you so much.

[BillyBoy777]

Very, very nicely done...I will begin on this in about a month with my guitar instructor...still working on Mark Hanson's "Drake's Passage"...then on to "Hajimari"...thanks for posting this...

[guangenk]

hi pascal

beautifull

thank you !!

greetings

jan henk

[BirdmanWayne94]

Wonderful playing and melody my friend. Lovely performance...

[RICSYLBETJAM]

I have only recently discovered Masaaki Kishibe's work and this is a particular favourite, which you play beautifully - thank you.

[Qpidon]

Thanks a bunch...

Masaaki is a world on his own....this one is indeed marvelous. Thanks for subscribing, always appreciated!

Pascal

[noasmama]

Ik krijg een beetje heimwee door KISHIBE's muziek...

Mooie performance!!

[Redraw4444]

Your brilliant, one of the fe people I think can nail some andy mckee songs properly, love to see you try, more Nakagawa tracks too, although totally challenging, be nice to see a few played well :)

[ghiengame]

I heard this one hundreds time but never leave a comment, I'm so sorry...but this is so peaceful and relaxed, maybe that's why I always forget to leave a comment.

Once again, very nicely done Pascal, such an inspiring performance.

[catou111]

very very nice my freind !!!

how long you've been playing???

love your sound,how  do you do it ???

marc

[Saulzar]

The more of Masaaki's songs I hear the more I like them, and your performances are inspiring!

[Qpidon]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for subscribing!!

Warm regards,

Pascal

[binsbts]

wow that was awesome. I really thought your play on "shine of silver thaw..." was amazing by the way. Mm...my question is: which one is harder to learn, Hajimari or shine of silver thaw?

[Qpidon]

Thanks!

But to be honnst, I stopped a while ago thinking in terms of "hard or not".... The question is: do you love it enough to get started on a tune AND finnish it?!

HAve a wonderfull 2009!

Pascal.

[654321654321]

no conocía esta música, es muy buena.

El sonido es espectacular.

[grandbib]

great ! what a precise job!

[Qpidon]

Well thank you! indeed: Masaaki is very subtle and does need precision. This being said: I do go wrong at times ! ;-)

Thanks for subscribing, appreciated!

Pascal

[nattou321]

おぉ素晴しい

nice cover!

[alvms85]

awesome playing dude:) keep up the good work

[ScottNCGP]

Wonderful playing.

[HoraceLime]

Great feeling!

[GuitarKudo]

弹得非常好！

Good smile.:)

[petertaylor]

Great and touching performance.

You are a great player, Pascal.

I read you are using Elixer.

You might try Dean Markley Alchemy Goldbronze.

Great sound and half the price of the Elixers.

Greetings - Peter.

[ScottAIIyn]

Another treat for ya Pascal! :)

[souellette22]

You know, when ever I get a chance to listen to my friends on Youtube, I know I'm gonna get something good when I look up one of your videos....great job on this song..your playing, and tone are beautiful!!! Scott

[ualbanychemist]

You are the most amazing guitar player have heard in a long time. God bless you

[redred1233]

wow this is the first time i am seeing you smile

[pickingwolle]

Hi, Pascal!

Good as usual!

Sounds beautiful!

Thanx!

GBY

Wolle

[alwz]

This kind of music makes me smile. Beautiful.

[winterelaxation]

wow, its great, you play the guitar very well!!

[Qpidon]

So happy you got his album! Its superbe, isnt it!?

Pascal

[heavenlyworld]

Heavenly!

I love your guitar playing.

Great.

[Qpidon]

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoy it, also, this is the first time a video braught me over 100 stars, thanks to you!

Pascal

[gfilip]

Enjoyed this song very much. Congratulations on your performance there! Love your guitar too, very nice sound. Mostly thanks for having introduced Masaaki Kishibe's song as i had never heard of him. Would love to learn this one too any chance to know the tuning that is used?

Thanks and keep posting!

[Qpidon]

Thanks!

Masaaki is probably one of the most interesting contemporary fingerstyle guitarist today. On my main page, you will find all the info you asked me.

Thanks for the stars...

Pascal

[Tadek59]

Wow You play on the guitar fantastically !!!

Excellent performance and amazing sound !!!

Brilliant !!!

5*****

[kurono71]

great interpretation^^5 stars from me!

[syncopater999]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting them. Your Alhambra sounds great. I must look out for this brand in steel string. I know that the wonderful Naudo on youtube plays an Alhambra electro classical. If you are interested in good guitars you might like the Freshman 500 series if you can find one. They are wonderful and great value for such high quality tonewoods, sound, finish and set up.

[corbin720]

beautiful song. love the outro expecially

[dice926]

hello! Mr.Qpidon !

your performance "hajimari" is very nice !

I also have played this song,but your's is better than I (^^;)

Nice sounds and performance !!!!

I'm glad to that you have known Mr. Kishibe.

[Qpidon]

Glad you enjoyed! Its a wonderfull tune indeed. I think I will play this forever and ever!

Thanks for the stars, appreciated!

Pascal

[Shirmia]

Que hermosa interpretación!!

Usted habla español?

[Qpidon]

si, un poco...

[777gatos]

Very nice.. I would like to learn this song! Good cover!

[jazzmom66]

How beautiful and soothing...like Sunday morning rain. I want to learn this myself. Could u tell me the tuning you are in? You have the lightest 'touch', it's gorgeous! :-)

[RichardSharp]

That is a very soothing piece. Great performace!

[amazongift]

Pascal, you make me so happy with your playing, it's Saturday night and I've got a beer and relaxing to you playing, what could be better. thanks again

[Qpidon]

Thats the nicest comment ever.+

I'll have a sip of my beer for that (sic).

Be happy ;)

Pascal

[scheidtl]

very nice.

[Twirretwarre]

Am here again...told someone else, but stay than, sigh sigh, it is so wonderful!

Roeleke :-)

[sarahemilies]

I love this one - BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED!

But I have said that once before I think. I tell you again: You are a very good guitarist, you sound like a professional.

Kind regards from Sarah.

[Qpidon]

Always makes my day when I recieve a comment or message from you!

You are one sweet Lady:)

Pascal

[ranxer642]

Hey mate!

Awesome playing man. I want to hear more from Masaaki Kishibe. Thanks!!!

Jovan Milenkovic.

[Qpidon]

Thanks mate!

[guitarenflamed]

Sounds amazing! Awsome. What guitar is that? I have vids of me playing guitar but I kinda suck lol. subscribe if you like them. I'm adding you!

[Qpidon]

All info of my equipment is on my main page.

Pascal

[chaoticblue123]

Hm, I think being able to play like you is my current goal!! Who knows, if I ever do manage to catch up to you maybe I could play some really nice stuff too!

[Qpidon]

If I can do it (duh?) you certainly can as well!

[nyong010]

hiya havent checked your new songs for a while but it sounds great like all the others :) cant hear any false notes either ps i hope when im a bit older ill buy my house in spain and maby we can jam on the boulevard ;)

[Qpidon]

Great, looking foreward to have a guitarist neigbour !!

[Lyrad1345]

Ive listened to this song like 10 times today and everytime it is still as amazing as the first time I heard it. May I ask where I can get the sheet music for this? It is truely an amazing song.

[Qpidon]

Have a look on my main page...its all there ;)

[bjjforme]

Man, your one of the most influencial guitarist for me man...

Kia ora e hoa (Thank you my friend)

the_coolest

[Qpidon]

Are you serious ? ;)

Kuka kula baba (you are welcome , in a language I just made up ;))

P.-

[bjjforme]

yeah serious man, I like your style and like the way you play mate

:)

[davidr9503]

Fantastic!..what a great sound.Beautiful stuff.

[Qpidon]

Many thanks, David. Glad you enoyed!

[chaoticblue123]

Me again with another question!! Well I just gotta say how much you rock first though!  Now that that's outta the way, would you have any song recommendations for a beginner like me to learn? Like.. nice sounding songs? XD. I learned how to play Flower by downloading the tabs from your website already, so would you happen to have anything similar to that? Thanks a bunch!! In the meanwhile I'm gonna try learning some other songs I got from your website! Also, Check out andy mckee! he's great!

[Qpidon]

well thanks!

I'm not realy good ad suggesting what to do...realy. But personlly, I never stop at the technical difficulty of a tune. If I love it enough, there's a good chance I'll go all the way. The hard part is to be honnest with yourself. Does that make sence?

Regards,

PAscal

[cingram72]

Awesome Pascal! What guitar are you using on this one?

[Qpidon]

All info on my equipment on maine page ;-)

[leonocusto]

This is beautiful!!!!!

"Hajimari" ("The Beginning") is a beautiful word, too :)

[Neelo5000]

That was beautiful. I have never heard this song before. Youtube has introduced me to so much good music. I'm going to take a look at more of your videos. Keep them coming !

[Qpidon]

Indeed, Masaaki has some absolute gorgeous material...and youtube...oh well.... its every day a gold digging day, isnt it, realy?

[amazongift]

Absolutely beautiful guitar work, I'm really glad that I've got to see your vids.Thanks, I'm going to check out your other's over the next few days.

[Qpidon]

Great! I'll check out yours, that makes us two ;)

[kansaslo]

This is really great. You've made me an instant fan. 5****

[Qpidon]

Thank you so much, appreciated!

[claredowling]

excellent playing! I can see from your video I've been putting my capo on the worng way around, no wonder it was losing its grip! Peace :-)

[MarcManesse]

Salut Pascal.

C'est léger, aerien et vraiment très agréable à écouter.

Félicitation, c'est un superbe résultat.

Marc

[slystinks109842]

[Rigobarrios]

Eh! Todos tus videos increibles,

Fabulosos, mer gustarón, eres muy bueno en la guitarra, y esta mnusica nunca la habia escuchado, pero me atrapo su fantastica armonia.

Es verdad que Masaaki es un genio en harmonización.....

Un saludo cordial,

Pascal

[Ziziline]

Amazing.

Thank you

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Now don't you dare let that piano get anywhere near back under your bed - that was lovely! With best wishes, Sunbeam :)

[Qpidon]

Piano?? its a GUITAR! ;-))

your funny, hehe.

Many MANY thanks..!

Pascal

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Sorry - I dont know why I said piano...lol :)

1) I know it's a guitar, and

2) A piano wouldnt fit under the bed....unless it was a very BIG bed..lol

I am sorry!! You're playing obviously took my mind so far away I couldn't type sensibly...lol..((Forgive me))...:)

Maybe we were meant to share a laugh and smile today xoxo :)

[Qpidon]

Now you REALY make me laugh:) I first taught you did it on purpose, turns out you didnt! haha, you are deffenitly something else;)

Massive bed, you mean?!

Warm regards;)))))

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

No - wasn't on purpose!! It was a silly mistake!! lol..But funny!! We only just met and already we are laughing - that has to be a great sign for our new YouTube friendship :)

I am going to favourite this video now and you will be on my Channel front page to remind me, and everyone who looks, about how much fun it is to have FUN on here!! Even silly mistakes can have a happy outcome :)

Sunbeam xoxo :)

[Qpidon]

;-----0)))

[quesapa]

Hermoso como siempre. Muy bonito. Como siempre dando ejemplo de los más buenos, Pascal! Recibe un abrazo de mi parte. Yo ya puedo tocar, aunque con un poco de dolor en la muñeca. Por lo menos recuperé mi rapidéz luego de la hinchazón. The nightmare is over, i can play like i did before.

[Qpidon]

Entonces fue mucho mas grave de lo que me imagino! Me alegre que te mejores, amigo mio! Tus videos me faltan mucho de menos!

Poco a poco....

Un abrazo,

Pascal

[AnchoriteProductions]

Another beautiful piece, very beautifully played. Thanks mucho Pascal! - Derek

[chaoticblue123]

Thanks for uploading the tabs on your site man! I just got the Masaaki ones but I can't figure out which one Hajimari is :(

Toujours un régal mon ami. Masaaki a l'art de composer des mélodies touchantes de simplicité. Pas d'excès, et pourtant c'est d'une beauté incroyable.

Et comme tu y mets tout ton coeur, ton interprétation est magnifique, comme toujours.

Il faut vraiment que l'on fasse un truc ensemble...

Hey, wonderful tune. Thanks so much for interpreting all of Kishibes songs as you really are the best on youtube at doing so. As usual wonderful. By the way, do you like Peter Finger? If you dont know him send me a pm with your email addy and il send you some of his songs. I have all of his albums and think you might like some of his ballads, considering your love for Masaaki Kishibes tunes. Regards, Fred.

[Qpidon]

Funny you mention Peter Finger. When I was younger (16, Im 47 now!) I was absolutely crazy about Peter Finger. So much so I played loads of his stuff. Unfortunatly, it was my cousin (a great guitar player) who had all the tabs- we shared and appartment when we were students) so when we went each our way, the tabs went his side. Ever since I had a noize in my head that sooner or later I'll have to try to get back some music AND tabs of PF, so your offer is more than welcome! I'll send you a mess

[bobbyzz94]

Hello Pascal,

a wonderful piece of music, yes!!

and you play it with a deep emotion.

I like what your doing!

I give you "five" for your interpretation!

best regards

Robert

[yowech]

Good job! Your playing of that song sounds better (to me) than Mr. Masaaki!

[Qpidon]

hmmmn, I cant realy agree on this one, but if you think so, i'm flattered.!

Pascal

[matzac97]

bravo pascal une fois de plus ta maitrise de l'instrument fait merveille le morceau est superbe. keep on playing ! amicalement

;-)) André

[Qpidon]

Merci Marc...j'ai du mal a gardé le tempo a fin de donner des reponses a tout le monde...C'est effectivement une belle compo, des chants d'oiseaux....

ivmar1 sent this beautiful piece of music to me/thanks so much! Am meeting Masaaki Kishibe's music for the first time through your video and am feeling ... transported, transformed, not of this world. Your beautiful, sensitive style suits so well...thank you for the beauty. Suze

[Qpidon]

Well thank you so much. I am honoured I humbly introduced you to Masaaki. As I stated in my comments, with him, time comes to a standstill....
