Theme from "The Pink Panther" (Fingerstyle Guitar)

[endingalaporte]

Awesome

[peacejoytown]

@endingalaporte Thank you.

[JWPMinnesota]

Just love how your right hand is just dancing on the strings, left hand is good too. It's clear you are very comfortable with right-hand technique. Just love those back-sweeping arpeggiations (I think some call that a banjo-roll)... Excellent and very entertaining...

[peacejoytown]

@JWPMinnesota Thank you. Do you mean Tremolo? I borrowed the technique from the classical guitar method.

[kevinjconroy]

I've been playing guitar for 40 years, and I do much of the same things you do...pick songs I love and do my own arrangements....I have watched many of your videos, they are all musically impressive (you are excellent), but this one I just had to comment on....fantastic!!!

[peacejoytown]

@kevinjconroy Thank you. The guitar is one of the best thing I found in my life maybe. Because, there is no end and you can keep improving yourself till last minute!

[goncalodvd]

Good Lord !! This is kickass goooooood :D

[peacejoytown]

@goncalodvd Thank you. (^^)

[awfguitar]

I;m trying to be just like you. I'm trying to say thank you to all the people who leave comments on my videos. i still think it is so cool that you reply all your comments even though you are so great and dont need to. ;-)

[peacejoytown]

@awfguitar I probably will do this until my brain starts to malfunction or YouTube is past. It is becoming more like a habit.

[360Gummy]

Awesome!

[Dasenism]

Awesome cover man! I have to learn this one

[peacejoytown]

@Dasenism Thank you! Enjoy learning and picking.

[Zeruph]

So good!

@Zeruph Thank you!

[SunriseDoobie]

[peacejoytown]

[dethpig420]

@peacejoytown In my opinion dude, you've done the best pink panther up here on youtube. Should be viewed more.

[peacejoytown]

@dethpig420 Thank you. More than twenty thousands views sounds lot to me.

[physicalKinetics]

I don't have time for this. I have to solve a murder.

[peacejoytown]

@physicalKinetics You've got do it in funny way.

[doctarvampire]

No matter how good you are at something, theres always the asian kid that can do it 10 times better

[peacejoytown]

@doctarvampire Why do you care about nationality? Although I am a grand father in Japan, Chinese people have five fingers on each hand just like everybody else.

[doctarvampire]

@peacejoytown ...

[doctarvampire]

Respond to this video...  its kinda a compliment...

[peacejoytown]

@doctarvampire Thank you for the compliment. As I said, I am a Japanese and not a kid. I have a grandson.

[FlowersInHisHair]

Very, very, *very* awesome.

[peacejoytown]

[peacejoytown]

@aloobi Thank you.

[023222323]

YOU WERE THE FIRST ONE TO PLAY THE SAXOPHONE SOLO AFTER THE BASIC MELODY BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE DID THAT (AND BELIEVE ME I'VE CHECKED)

I WILL BE LIKING YOUR VIDEOS FOR A WEEK BECAUSE I WAS PISSED TO SEE THAT EVERYBODY PLAYED ONLY THE BASIC MELODY..

[peacejoytown]

@023222323 Thank you. I have never noticed about that. To me the part was needed to complete the arrangement.

[023222323]

@peacejoytown well it is :D

[Chiller121]

thats why i luv these asians!!!

awesoooooome!

:D

[peacejoytown]

@Chiller121 Thank you! Asian doesn't mean much on playing though. (^^);

[Jaiprasad123]

The best part in you ... apart from music .. is your modesty !!! Awesome Hiroshi :)

Just got u r CD ... will learn it soon :) .. Thank you again

[peacejoytown]

@Jaiprasad123 Thank you. Glad to hear that my CD made it there safely. (^^)

[sabbalabba]

I've watched alot of "Pink Panther Theme Guitar" on Youtube, but you're probably the BEST I've seen, and will see.

[peacejoytown]

@sabbalabba Thank you. I'm sure you'll find better one if you keep searching.

[Lolscatz]

@peacejoytown dont lie boy, u know ur is the best.... dont lie

[peacejoytown]

@Lolscatz No, I am not lying. There so many good players. They make me keep improving myself.

[Lolscatz]

@peacejoytown name 3 that r good according 2 ur standards, and you idol

[peacejoytown]

@Lolscatz I can't since I have only limited internet access now and no time for searching and I don't like comparison. But because there are good versions, I thought I should improve myself more. That is very important for me.

[sabbalabba]

Thank you for your existence.

[peacejoytown]

@sabbalabba Thank you for your existence too.

[motimenow]

Thank you great arrangement. As I listen, I flash on the cartoons as well as favorite parts in the movies.

Great clarity ...what make is your guitar? Thanks!

[peacejoytown]

@motimenow Thank you. It was the first movie that I could really laugh without subtitles. The guitar I used for this video is Camps CUT-900S/TUNE.

[theswinger]

looks like the doctor off knocked up/king from role models

[peacejoytown]

@theswinger I wonder what this means?

[LordSchezar]

[peacejoytown]

@LordSchezar Thank you. I do have tabs.

[swissver]

[peacejoytown]

@swissver It is available to those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation. I need some push to go on. I hope you understand.

[certifiedbomber]

im speechless! you're amazing! i hope one day i can play like you.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I think you will as long as you keep hoping. At least I am still hoping to get better.

[manancikkt]

@peacejoytown hope is not enough..practice is the key

[peacejoytown]

@manancikkt of course. Practicing with a hope is the way.

[89monnos]

such a cool Pro.. u r really good dude... but i have a question..i wanna play it like u and i downloaded the tab it had a lead and a rhythm guitar...i wanna play both at once !! what shall i do ?,..i can't follow u..am just a beginner

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. You just play both parts as one part then split them in your mind when you are comfortable playing. It may takes some time.

[ajak2496]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[bajek991]

Amazing! Can You upload tabs? Please, I have to play your version ;)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The score/tabs of this and some others are available to those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation. I need some push to keep on. I hope you understand.

[peacejoytown]

I am working on a big translation project for a month now and another week or so to go. I will make a new video soon after I'm done with it. I need this to get by.

[Henders100]

@peacejoytown Glad you are still around and haven't left Youtube. I know how you feel, we all have to make a living! Hope to see more from you soon.

[peacejoytown]

I'm still around and checking here every morning.

[Foorehtnossip]

hi hiroshi ..have you seen .... watch?v=GFqTd-CEjHM ??

[peacejoytown]

No, I've never watched that.

[300MediaProductions]

Firstly, great job, as always.

Secondly, do you take requests? Because I'd love to see what you would do with Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Life by the Drop," because it's so different from everything else you do.

Either way, great job!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I take request only if the song is in my wish-to-play list. Unfortunately the song you mentioned isn't in there.

[4st5lbs]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I should check that cartoon. I only saw it at the beginning and ending of the movies.

[delmago1]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The score/tabs of this and some others are available to those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation. I need some push to get by. I hope you understand.

[omatryn]

Haha, been years since I heard this song.

Thank you, Hiroshi ^^

[peacejoytown]

It is my pleasure. There weren't just pop and rock music, music for screens were also very good back then. (^^)

Coolness just seeps out of your version - very nice.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I should check out the cartoon version. I only know this from the movies.

[MegaCalvinHobbes]

peacejoytown, you thank people too often. We should be the ones thanking you for posting such beautiful music.

[peacejoytown]

Here is an another "Thank you" to you. I was brought up to thank people and things. (^^)

[MegaCalvinHobbes]

That's always a good way to be brought up. :)

I'll be waiting for your next masterpiece.

[peacejoytown]

I thank that for my parents. (^^) I'll try to make one as soon as I find a time.

[hithisisrick]

Beautiful !

[peacejoytown]

Thank you !

[hello53538]

you play amazeingly. :) i only hope i can play as well as you in the future.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Hoping is where I started and stand now. (^^)

[aldievilla]

Absolute Class as normal

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[SUNNYD3322]

Great performance.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[snoglobe68]

Awesome Ojiisan.

Hope all is well

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Being ojiisan is not bad at all.

[akbarrussian]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! :D

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! (^^)

[yooj12]

nice :)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[shehanagins]

wow this sounds amazing

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[TheArtOfGuitar]

really amazing i wish i could play classical like that. classical is way more impressive then playing electric and shredding. i really enjoyed this

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Actually, I have no classical style in my mind. I just use nylon strings because I feel it is more manageable for me and no need to change strings as often as steel strings.

[TheArtOfGuitar]

@peacejoytown well i like your style then very cool

[peacejoytown]

Maybe you want to try it yourself.

[BluePianist14]

Hello Hiroshi, this is a wonderful arrangement of Pink Panter. You are really wonderful with your fingers in the guitar. Hugs :) (^^)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. That is the only part of my body I exercise lately. (^^);

[troubleclef]

Excellent my friend.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I'm thinking about visiting US around Fall for gigs. I'm not sure about which area or side of the continent. It depends on a first place I visit.

[troubleclef]

good luck with the tour. keep me informed

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I sure will and if I have a chance to visit North East, maybe we could get together.

[musicalkayla16]

so cool!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[playerkateC]

haha~awesome~

have you seen「Hi My Sweetheart」 ?!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. No, I have never heard that title.

[Tinhamodic]

I couldn't help but think of Peter Sellers while listening to this! LOL! Great rendition, thank you!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I just bought all five DVDs and I was still laughing at his performances after nearly forty years. "Being There" is an another favorite Peter Sellers movie of mine. It calms me every time I watch.

[Anastasiosist]

This is great!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[LedDaveZeppelin]

Great! Loved it, I really wished you would have thrown that other part in there.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Other part?

[SieChan]

beautiful as usual =]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[jolaphilusa]

this must be your day job? you're so awesome in guitar!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It took me so long to play this arrangement without any obvious mistake.

[MattWGuitar123]

Awesome Mr. Masuda!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[SilvertipFan]

Wow! That was fantastic!! Simply an outstanding arrangement and guitar playing.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is a tough but fun arrangement to play.
