  • Beautiful arrangement. Do you by any chance have the tab to this piece?

  • If there are 0 dislikes don't mention it cause some loser will see it and click dislike to be an arse.

    Which is probably why there are 4 dislikes on this, because really!? how can anyone dislike this?

  • I said to myself "Yeah!! YEAH!!!" just by seeing this song come up in the search result for lonlonjp guitar.

  • i love the way you gave life to this song, good job =)

  • Your performance has literally shattered my view of the guitar, hearing you play so well all of these songs from my video game past has literally brought me to tears. I've spent the last four years of my life playing heavy metal music (Mostly Megadeth and such) and seeing you play makes me realize the full potential of the guitar, I feel like my entire time playing has been a pointless effort. Thank you for opening my eyes.

  • anyways ur my main influence to fingerstyle, keep playing your amazing!

  • Do you need a capo to play this?

  • @redhotkido a capo is not mandatory, as it only raises the pitch of the guitar. playing this song with a capo on the 3rd fret will sound better

  • Is it possible to download the sheet to this amazing arrangment ? :)

    would really like to play it :)

    You are really talented thank you for all your videos ^_^

  • Everytime i see and hear your work It brightens my day I even catch myself just listening to a bunch till i realize i got things to do hahah you truly are a good man! ^_^

  • Lon you are the best guitar player I know.:D I can see how calm you are when you play and the love you spread. Never lose that lon. This is simply a masterpiece I could listen to it forever. I'm one of your biggest fans! :D :D

    Greetings from Greece. God bless you. :)

  • this song always makes me cry when to zanarkand part starts. TT___TT thank you very much

  • you should do a shadow of the colossus medley

  • could you cover something from xenosaga?

  • If Nobuo and you meet someday the world will explode of awesomeness XD Imagine a soundtrack made by you and him OMG XD

  • you are brilliant!!! This is so gorgeous. If you are like me and you enjoy criticism, the only thing i could say is be careful not to scratch the strings when you shift positions. there are a few techniques such as lifting your hand, softening you callouses or peeling them (eww) other wise perfect and pretty

  • this has to be one of my favourite FF songs ever!! just so much depth to it and multiple parts that give me goosebumps

    love it lonlon

  • What mike do you use? :D

  • I hate how you make this look easy haha, have you made tablature for this? I'd love to try and play along with your video! :)

  • Is the reason why you labeled it as Hard is because the song is very long?

  • @blackdeckbox

    umn.. let me see... in the middle of the song, there were "To Zanarkand" melodies, but the key was different from the original key and it was a bid tough to play it than the original key. More over, the song contained many exquisite tones, which should be integrated into one beautiful harmony. I thought it hard just in my opinion, however, please try it. It's worth trying =)

  • Very very beautiful. I've got a question.

    How many recordings did this take and your average videos take you?

    I can't seem to go the full song without a mistake or a pause.

  • your very inspiring. thanks for the covers!

  • すばらしいです。

  • 1:39-4:16 takes me back to when tidus jumped off the airship.i hated that part of the game(a good kind of hate:D)because that made me cry for the first time for a video game. i loved this game. i thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. :) best game ever!

  • recording a song this long, and this complex, on solo guitar . . now that takes discipline, recordings not easy. :3 thank you lonlon, we are all in debt to you

  • @loggnogg

    Thanks for your kind message^^

    I will keep going on further with your nice comment in my mind :)

  • :')

  • This is my favorite song off the Final Fantasy X soundtrack. You definitely made this sound amazing while not taking away from any of the feeling of the original song. I love this. I have been sitting here watching your covers for over an hour now. Don't stop what you are doing. You give people like me something to aspire towards musically.

  • in addition to previous comment:

    what do you use  - scores or tabs?

  • oh man, it was probably very difficult to do an arrangement to song like this.

    how much time did it take?

  • Incredible.

  • You are amazing!

    =

  • Takes me back to the airship when tidus is fading away... ):

  • Seriously.. You and John Clarke made me pick up my old dusted guitar and start playing again... Changed the string and sounds so good now... My favorite of yours is Sight of Spira... Kinda hard for me though since it's been a while I played. I remember Spanish Romance and the 1st Part of Asturias... You are amazing. FFX's Einding Theme is a great song too. Even though I prefer To Zanarkand, felt in love with this track from the 1st time I started playing FFX... Keep up the great job mate...

  • Sin has 2 Youtube accounts!!

  • eveytime i search ur profile i found something epic like this over here. one of the most beaytiful song i ever heard.

    must have been very hard to arrange that for fingerpicking but u did an awesome job

  • PERFECT! I downloaded this video that's how much I liked it!!

  • Seymour's two fake accounts dislike this video -.-

  • I cry ...

  • Best of the best .. Nothing other than amazingly perfect 10/10!! <3

  • So emotional and captures the beauty of this song. Another masterpiece (well all your songs are masterpieces!) and I almost shed a tear listening to it and remembering the ending. :' )

    I really don't know how people can dislike this. The world baffles me.

  • 1 person couldn't stand such epicness, and got sent to the farplane

  • how can some one not like this. This is the most emotions song ever......well to me and other people

  • you honestly captured the true feeling of this song, i can feel the same emotions that i felt while watching the cutscene where this was playing..

    at 1:39 when that part starts i actually shed a tear since i remembered the part tidus has to go and yuna is like "no"

    and oh, the part where yuna runs through tidus when all she wanted was to be held in his arms.......

    i understand if you don't know what i am talking about, but nonetheless this was played perfectly!

  • omg. i love all of the final fantasy covers by you...so beautiful i just sit..stare..watch and fall inlove with the music.

  • What a great man =) i just finished learning this song (tabs on gametabs.net) and truely it's brought me great pleasure playing it and learning it (although very difficult for my level) . I am infinitely in your debt Lonlonjp and i hope that you will keep making wonderful music like this for a long time coming =D .

  • Oh and you play it sooo good as always !

  • I love this track. It's about sorrow, unfixable pain and scars, and still we go on in life and fight for what we think right.

    I always gives me them chills you know...

  • I owe a lot to Squaresoft and to the people who made Final Fantasy X the way it is. Never before had I seen such a touching story that it made me wheep. This game was a dorway to learn to apreciate every beautiful thing in the world and this ending theme captures that essence of sadness with a touch of never dying blind hope at the end.

    The most beautiful things are not the ones that simply brings us joy, but the ones who bring it through sadness.

  • @Maximus2Death Wow that is really deep =D very good comment =) . I feel exactly the same way and im sure the majority of the people watching this video feel that way too =) I hope you get major thumbs up! =D haha

  • I feel like i'm at the ending stage of FFX. i can totally feel the emotions.

  • you need an album out of this stuff man..damn i cold only imagine this magic on sale for the world hahaha great stuff

  • 0 dislikes...and forever that should stay. My word this is jus beautiful

  • @fally15

    Thanks for your kind message =)

    i recorded this almost 2 years ago, however,

    i feel that it was like yesterday.

  • @fally15 Noooooooooooooooooooooooo two kikoolol disliked.... this is awful, i'm about to cry...

  • i watched many of your videos, and i like them a lot, but i have to say: this is my favourite one! i love to listen all your songs. you are a good man with a true sense of humanity, and i can feel it through your music. i hope that you will continue this amazing work because every song you play warms our hearts and raises our souls

  • @DarkBaltuzzo haha^^

    Thanks so much for your comment.

    i really love this song and this arrangement.

    When i read your message, i was impressed.

  • Love this song like all of the rest of the FFX songs you've posted, you really are an icon and should be recognized as such! :)

  • awesome!i especially love how you transcribed path of repentance .i tried some time ago but only got half done lol but i'll go back to it and try again after seeing you play!-Nick

  • wow this is amazing because it sounds like your listening to a CD and i really feel a sadness towards the ending

  • @conniesta17

    Thank you for posting a comment on this video =)

  • When they play To Zanarkand in this song, it's my favourite in the game. So beautiful! I think it's cause it's down a half step haha! So beautiful though, your playing is flawless :)

  • is there any way i could find that guitar pro tab 4 this song? awesome song by the way :) :)

  • Beautifully done

  • sir, you are such a very talented guitar player... every FF piece you arranged was perfect!

  • WHOA!!!! THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!!

  • brilliant!! while listening to this i felt the same emotions when i discovered the ending scene. 1:40 is perhaps the best line of music Nobuo has ever written, maybe rivaled by aeries' theme. Awesome job man, keep up the good work. ^_^

  • Very beatiful bro!! :)

  • MONSTER!!! *-*

  • nope^^

    i am an ordinary office worker in Tokyo =)

  • @lonlonjp Hahaha awesome reply. XD Made my day.

  • you really have worked hard on your songs, you have found a subscriber here, good job, and if you do get to play with Nobuo Uematsu, please tell me what he is like, i am a huge fan of his music, both Black Mages and Orchestra

  • haha... xD

    That would be my dream ^^

    anyway thanks for your subscribing :)

  • i love the music by Final fantasy, and well hearing it in acoustic is just awesome you did really good man

  • you'll make it in that orchestra no problem

  • were you like part of nobou uematsu's orchestra before? :D

  • Not yet ^^

    However, i would like to be the one in the future, if chance were given =D

  • I really, really hope that happens someday.

    Follow your dreams, we're all behind you!

  • earorgasms

  • This theme is so beautiful, such a sad ending! :(

    Another job well done!!!

  • I can't describe the feeling...

    thanks so much for playing this song..

    it has a meaning to me and to anyone who played the game i'm sure =D

    can't be better than this on the guitar

    thanks again =D

  • Thanks so much for your watching this video =)

  • Yes. Very Much, this gives me chills of happiness..

  • Seriously lonlonjp... I hate you XD!!!!!!

    Wonderful :'(

  • And To Zanarkand! (ok, I hope this is the last one XD Sorry for spamming your comments)

  • Wait! I strike again (with a new comment) It has a mixture of the Hymn of Faith!

  • Hmm, why is it only the FFX themes I can't seem to remember. Anyways, so peaceful and lovely. :) Kudos again!

  • youtube downloader, program. it only downloads music from the clip, which u have to convert to mp3 format with the same program afterwards.... not as messed up as it seems :)

  • A wonderful rendition of an already beautiful piece of music. Sugoi.

  • Can you tell me how to download his vids? If that's allowed that is.

  • I cried in the first 30 seconds

  • So sad...kind of like what im feeling right now...i never did notice this song until recently...but now the true meaning and the feel of this song gets to my heart...and it breaks it...shatters it to a million unreplaceable pieces that i will never be able to mend again...all i have is this song...where i can cry shamelessly and hopelessly...and knowing that this melody can ease my pain...

    Thank you Lonlon...thank you very much...

  • i cry when i feel inadequate, when i am  confronted by situations that are too difficult to resolve... and when i remember past events with lovely memories.

    Take care, my friend!

  • @oliv3ira69 awesome comment... totally agree with what you said

  • simply beautifull, this song is incredible, so sad, but beautifull, every time i watch the end i always cry T_T, it would be great if you upload the songs, the are al beatifull

  • I love when you play your Ibanez, the steel strings must be really rough on your fingers tho, with songs like this especially.

  • Any chance you have a website or something where we can download your music?  I would absolultely love to be able to listen to your music on my Ipod. It's all amazing.

  • yeah.. pls if you do have let us know?

  • message me i will tell you. if you still haven't gotten it

  • if you have firefox, you can download add-ons that let you download youtube videos as MP3's. That's what I do. I have downloaded a lot of his stuff. If you want a .zip of them, PM me. :D

  • @hdturner

    if your ipod supports videos you can download the video then just put it on itunes, and i think if you have some kind of video software you can get the song by itself but otherwise you just got the video

  • That is a very nice arrangement. The guitar surely is a fantastic instrument, rendering such a song with only 6 strings...

    Keep up the good work =D

  • The first part of this theme sound abit weird to me, but Wow, Hymn of the Fayth is also included, it's sound great and the To-Zanarkand part here sound even greater than the original version @_@.

    Just one word, you are so great!!!

  • T_______T *cries* such a sad ending to an amazing game

  • This is definitely one of your best arrangements and performances, and that's saying a lot because you're other videos are all spectacular! Keep doing what you do best lonlonjp!

  • Thanks for your encouragement ^-^

    i will do some more!

  • one of your best arrangments :)

  • Thanks for your compliment ^0^

  • That's by far the best arragement I ever saw to this song, and believe me when I tell you I saw quite a number of them...

  • Thanks a lot ^^

  • I feel like crying... the best always comes out when you like what you're doing. You're now one of my idol guitarists... I'll search for you in facebook... :D

  • You have rendered me speechless.

    By far one of the best guitarists I have ever heard. Most definately 5 stars :)

  • very impressive

  • i appreciate your comment =)

  • OMG I'm crying! haha

    you're the best guitarist ever!

  • I don't know why, lonlonjp, but when I play the "At Zanarkand" section it sounds so choppy and terrible... It always sounds bad, but I can play almost every other song pretty well.

    Of course, you play it beautifully.

  • i believe that's the hardest part of this arrangement :) but do not mind!

    Let's enjoy the song together :)

  • It makes me cry...so beautiful..

  • Thanks listening =)

  • The best guitarist i have ever seen i almost seen all of his videos O_O its so...unbelieveble

  • Thanks watching my videos often =)

  • OMG...unbeliviable

  • Thanks listening ^-^

  • Has anyone requested Dancing Mad (FFVI) or FFVI ending theme (2 parts, long though)?

    I think playing FFVI ending would be quite an accomplishment, no one has a video of them playing it.

  • That is very true! Why haven't you done the ending to Final Fantasy VI yet lonlon?!? EVERYONE would love it. And I know you could do it. You are one of the best guitarists I have ever seen. Everything you arrange is a work of art. Please do the ending of Final Fantasy VI.

  • This one was pretty easy, why its H?

  • In my opinion, it is really hard... at least for me ^^ it's a long song and especially hard in "To Zanarkand" part. The key is quite different from that of the original song in this version and have got many b, flats... which is hard to arrange and play on solo guitar.

  • Hah!? This was hard, but not Sight of Spira? maybe your high skillz jus got u confused cuz this is easy? well i cant say anything cause i myself haven't tried playing this

  • every time i hear this song i can picture the entire cutscene in my head thank you for bringing your talent to you tube to share with us :)

  • Thanks for your invitation^^

    i instantly accepted it =D

  • yeah i noticed today ha ha thank you so much i greatly appreciate friends :)

  • you are the man

  • YOU sir, you are an icon! a role model

    and I WILL learn how to play guitar as good as you or perhaps someday even better.

    YOU ARE AMAZING!!! five stars...never change your way

  • beautiful my freind! I feel very peaceful after listening to this song. thank you for sharing it with us. it is like i am seeing the ending all over again. :) thanks!

  • Thanks watching this video and your comment ^-^

  • absolutely great song loved the game also. great playing man

  • Thanks so much for your finding and listening to this video ^-^

  • i have a request can u do the opening theme of ffx suteki da ne and the song otherworld i want to hear them

  • waw I'm speachless

  • better than the original ;)

  • but... that's AMAZING!!!

  • Thanks so much for your encouragement, yuna3100 ^-^

  • hey lonlon i beg of you..... please upload some tabs of your songs somewhere. i would learn them by hearing....if i could.

  • ギター暦は何年ぐらいになりますか?

  • かれこれ30年になります(笑)

    途中ブランクがあったので、実質6年位でしょうか(^--^;) こういったギター編曲を始めたのは、この1年余りのことです。

    この曲は、前半の短調部分を経て、最後に希望の光が差し込んでく­るようなところが、Bachのシャコンヌを連想させ気に入ってい­ます♪

  • omg! so pretty i love final fantasy X music, could you send me your cords? im currently learnin how to play gutair right now and i want this to be one of the first songs i learn ^-^

  • In order to keep an original key as of the game sound track, this arrangement is much harder than, say, my "to the zanarkand" arrangement. i think chords are not enough to play this one exactly. Anyway good luck to you^^

  • This is amazing, you are really good!!!!!.... I'm speechless.

  • Thanks listening^^

  • This is incredible. It sounds complex and simple at the same time. You're really good and i love all ur stuff. sweet playing

  • Thanks watching my videos and posting a nice comment^^

  • Comment removed

  • Whooow amazing ! It's just... perfect !

    and so sad... T_T

    Where can I find the tab or sheet please ? I'm looking for it for a long time !

  • Thanks listening^^

    i did not play someone's guitar tabs.

    By myself, i wrote a gutiar sheet music by ear and played it :)

  • Sir! I say again! You're awesome!!!

    Greetings from Mexico ;D

    Hehehe you are my idol!

  • Thanks posting your comment on this video^^

    i love this song so much =D

    Unfortunately however it only got few views now ;) it must be me who is to blame ;)

  • no, its not you, its just that its not quite as popular as some of the other tunes in Final Fantasy games.

  • Hello. Sorry for interrupting. I just want to say it's not you who is to blame! You are a very very good guitar player. Maybe it's the songs. It has been many years since they were released.

    I have a suggestion. Maybe sometime in the future you can try arranging something more current. Like a popular ballad, for example? Maybe you can do a song from Mr Children or Ikimono Gakari and see if your views increase.

    They too can be just as beautiful as game songs :) Good luck.

  • Thanks very much for your suggestion and encouragement ^-^

    Now i am doing what i would like to do...

    and some people recognize it... i am very proud of it =)

    i may change them a bit in the future... or not...

    anyway i love this song so much =D

  • I considered giving up classical guitar untill I watched you, no dumbed down versions or repertoire everybody else plays but a beautiful voice true to what the composer intended. I will redouble my efforts now...

  • Once i considered giving up classical guitar as well. Let's enjoy it now together^^

  • anyone know where to get the tabs for this song o.o?

  • you are an extremely good guitarist. everytime i watch one of your videos i feel like im in another world. you have a great talent.

  • Thanks very much for your encouragement^^

  • amazing. i love this piece and i love the way you play it, it really gives the feeling of sorrow it should be giving. 5 stars!

  • Thanks for your high rating =)

  • gee,you're good mannn,i love all your vids...very nice indeed...i wish i could make an arransement as good as yours T_T

  • Yes, you can^^

  • You are simply Amazing. I have a guitar but I have yet to learn how to use it, but listning to you play you have given me all the inspiration I need to learn it! I love how you play. Its beautiful!

  • Thanks posting your comment :)

    My pleasure^^
