"E-M" FFIV Rydia Theme

[ffantasia24]

I pretty much fangirled out when I saw this in ur playlist. Rydia is my fav song from FFIV!!! Thanks so much for arranging it! Hope to see more FF music from u sir!

[mikeg2k01]

Listening to this makes me want to take up the guitar again.

It was very soothing.

[DiFFicult0CURE]

This video made me subscribe to your channel! A very touching piece, from a very good Final Fantasy, and a fantastic rendition from you lonlon! Everytime I hear it, it inspires me to study music harder! With love from Greece! ^_^

[EdisZidane]

No Lonlonjp, I love this song don't remove it!

[Official510]

fancily-dressed guitar player is fancy.

You sir, are fancy.

[ccisbeast]

The player in this video is Prince Edward.

Awesome job man! Hope you're not still down about Anna :(

[laharlrules]

How do you do the tap harmonic thing xD The arrangement is so epic and beautiful but I can't play it.. lol don't know how to do that kind of harmonic xD

[Kyoshiro83]

@laharlrules

Put your index finger on the fret (like a classical harmonic) and hit the string with your ring finger, this isn't very hard ;).

[AngelMikey22]

I really like the way you play, I love 'theme of love' too! could you please give me the chords to play 'theme of love' and 'Rydia's theme' please?

[AngelMikey22]

I love this song :D

[DiFFicult0CURE]

I don't understand why this has only 9000 views.

Obviously, there aren't many FFIV fans, though in my opinion, 4 and 6 are the best FF from the old ones.

[kanshiketsu89]

I wish there was a LOVE button here. "Like" doesn't describe my feelings well enough.

[mrstanyoo]

Rydia deals the most damage in FF4!

Well, maybe except for that flashing Big Bang attack.

[DiFFicult0CURE]

@mrstanyoo Vegeta plays in FFIV? :P

[MrNonoz]

Tabs please

[Trombonist550]

Thanks a lot for your guitar playing. I really like what you did with the harmonics because it amends a change of expression from the player. Fits the character really well for the true person that she is. Thank you a lot, I will also include that I will never tire of your videos, for I constantly keep coming back to them.

[KennyCleod]

WOW I didnt know you already had this uploaded :D! AWESOME LONLONJP! you rules!

[CameraWillMakeYouGod]

I love the way you play the guitar.

Such melodies are always welcome.

We love your work and your persistence in details.

Greetings from your fans in Athens.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your kind comment =)

i love your country.

it is so beautiful surrounded by the sea!

[CameraWillMakeYouGod]

You need not thank me for anything my friend, though your kindness is always appreciated.

We would love to have you perform a recital of your favourite guitar covers. If you are ever interested please do contact me. Keep up the great music.

[critiqual009]

@CameraWillMakeYouGod

are you a demigod?

[kokingnow]

it is very nice,seriously =}

may be you should play some song from Chrono Cross PS1.

the ending theme for example i guess..

It would be very nice if the tabs created by yourself you know.they can play the tabs as well.=}

Everyone loves very much your with your hard work.

(5/5)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement :)

This video is one of the least viewed video of mine.

Therefore, i sometimes wonder when i should remove this video ;)

However, a comment like yours prevents me to abandon it :)

cheers

lon

[hobosorter]

lon please don't remove this video. Your rendition of Rydia's Theme is really wonderful. This is my favorite of all the Rydia Themes out there. Heck it even beats out the Celtic Moon Version that I so enjoy. Lon thank you for all the hard work and passion you put into these videos and music. Many of us appreciate it greatly. Keep it up and God bless!

[lonlonjp]

i appreciate your kind message ^-^

[TrombeX2]

@lonlonjp Leave 'em all up, they're top-notch stuff.

In fact, seeing someone as talented as you in action has inspired ME to get in on playing guitar.

And to put things into perspective, it takes quite a lot to inspire me, like a volcano going off, or a really big thunderstorm.

[Loial]

@lonlonjp Please do not abandon it! This video is a gem amongst youtube videos....love it ! :)

[noutathewolf]

I'm yet to play FF4- but with tracks like this, it would be worth it to just play it to hear them. Love it :)

[ThePredster]

serious question. How do you get your harmonics so loud and clear? Did you just turn the volume up or something. Ive been trying to replicate this for a while looking into harmonics. are you strumming behind the fret with your pinkey? I cant tell :l

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching and your question ^^

i did not use any sound effect or volume up/down. This was the natural sound of my gutiar played by me really =D

[ThePredster]

While its not that thats not impressive because it is. Ive been playing it over in my head for like 3 days now. How did you make that harmonic sound?

[ClassicTracks2]

Practice, practice, practice.

Harmonics, I've found, ring out a lot louder on a nylon-stringed acoustic, like this one. Work on growing out your fingernails and make sure your guitar is intonated properly.

This is all I can do to help.

[ultramegaman555]

well i think theres nothing necessary to say to this calming sounding melody....

just 5 stars, i guess

[lonlonjp]

thanks for your high rating :)

[delmago1]

i havent even played this but its so nice!

[ultramegaman555]

TOTALLY AGREE cutevil

here should be at least a rating of 10 stars and even then you would get 20 stars

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much indeed for your high rating =)

[cutevil]

can't believe that someone can rate this less than 5 stars.

haters for sure

good work lonlon

[lonlonjp]

cheers*

[Blackbeast123]

Truly a epic masteroiece by Uematsu and a great guitarrverision :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your posting a nice comment ^-^

[Blackbeast123]

Please play Cornelia Castle from FF1 :D

[DiFFicult0CURE]

I think this version of Rydia is the best I have heard. I'm really a fan of the piano version, but this too, is close to the heart. Thank you for the video.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your kind comment ^^

[cwg999]

You sir, are amazing.

[Somaed]

I love this song.. love Rydia and love the way you did it!

[SageGeminiThe]

This is probably one of my most favorite songs from FF4. Rydia is definitely my favorite character! You make the song seem almost sad, somehow. It makes me think of Rydia as a child after she lost her mother.

[teletubbies4real]

kool i almost cried ;)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[cutevil]

same here

[1337VV4ff135]

Truly epic. Keep it up!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

i really enjoyed arranging FF4.

[oblivmaster]

wow this songs sounds really good

[lonlonjp]

Thanks a lot, oblivmaster^^

[HotSauceFan]

Beautiful

[chopinion]

How do you learn all of these songs so fast? Super Saiyan level 50!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks chopinion for your comment^^

i love this song so much. i did not and could not arrange it well for a long time. But at some point, i could do it somehow in a very short time. i do not know why. but it depends not only me but also many kind encouragement of my friends.

cheers

lon

[TheRPGamer]

Greetings from Portugal.I just found out today about your arrangements and I already love them. Keep up the excellent work.

Btw, will you ever consider making an arrangement from FVIII Fragments of Memories?, it's such a lovely melody..

Thank you and have a nice day!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my video^^

Regarding your suggestion, i have already uploaded some songs from ff8 such as "Eyes on Me", "Waltz for the Moon" and "Breezy".

i cannot promise, but i may think about it.

cheers

lon

[bryanbhu]

Thanks lonlonjp, I just discovered your clips today as well. And I'm loving them. I love Fragments of Memories too, it'd be great if you covered it. Such a mellow, harmonious piece which makes you have a recollection of good old days. I think you would be able to articulate that very well...

[youbobwhatsnew]

The harmonics are a really nice touch on this one. Great job, as always.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much, youbobwhatsnew^^

[Kikenio10]

Beautiful ! the original guitar arrangement sounds empty, but yours is awesome.

5 stars

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your 5-stars rating^^

[ChronospaceTrode]

cool, im playing final fantasy iv ds right now on a different note

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my version^^

i would like to hear your version.

please inform me when you upload it :]

cheers

lon

[ChronospaceTrode]

you must have misunderstood my post, i was playing the final fantasy iv ds version of the game at the time of my post

[lonlonjp]

oh! i see...

[228ANDY]

I haven't met Rydia before, but you take me into the world of imagination, where she is sitting on a chair in the summerhouse of a beautiful garden, and gently smiling at me.

And the dreamy melody of your guitar, surrounding her, creates undescribably relaxing and soothing atomosphere in the scene.  Hence, the heaven.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks Andy, my friend, for your lovely comment on this video^^

[madambasama]

As always beautiful performance. Song brings back a lot of memories of playing FFIV thanks for the song.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks madambasama my friend^^

[fendermac]

Always beautiful...beautiful again.*****

[lonlonjp]

Thanks fendermac^^ for your lovely comment^^

cheers

lon

[HolySamurai4990]

wow, how beautiful! I posted a stairway to heaven composition, however I'm disappointed with my performance. I think I will redo it. When you have some time, please take a look.

Gorgeous song lonlon I loved your playing in this one, the notes have so much meaning.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks Jose my friend^^ for your precious comment^^

[k2self]

dis song sure brings me a lot of good memories...SO BEAUTIFUL...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks k2self for your nice comment^^

[neubern777]

Woo, well done!

Why don't you try "The Castle" from FF VIII?

Cheers

[lonlonjp]

Thanks a lot!

i have just listened to "The Castle".

umn... when it comes to these kinds of music, i think that Koichi Sugiyama, composer of Dragon Quest, is a bit ahead of Nobuo Uematsu.

[OhGeezItsCheese]

Wow...you never cease to amaze me, lonlonjp!

Thank you so much for filling a fan's request in such a short amount of time! I have waited forever to see Rydia's theme played so beautifully...

and you did it right there. :)

Thank you once again :D

[lonlonjp]

i must say "Thank you" for supporting me^^

As i said before, i had stopped this arrangement. Your request made me move forward again.

cheers

[ianmeadmaker]

Your playing always brings me good memories. Thanks!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks jabmeadmaker for your encouragement^^

[naoptadn]

[lonlonjp]

[ktran11]

so beautiful mate, you should go to a studio and put all these arrangements on a CD

[oxoJinkxox]

i would buy that CD in a heartbeat

[lonlonjp]

Thanks a lot^^, ktran11 and oxoJinkxox :]

[blueredfred2]

is there really no end to your talent? brilliant work lon

[lonlonjp]

Thanks blueredfred2 for your kind remark^^

[Xxfinalfantasyx]

Very well done. You should really think about making these downloadable as MP3.

[pongopigmayiss]

You can actually make your own mp3s with a free program called Audacity. It has a "wave out" recording feature which basically will record whatever audio is playing on your computer. You can then export to wav or mp3. Just google Audacity.

Great work lonlonjp!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks pongopigmayiss for your advice^^
