I'll Follow The Sun (Fingerstyle Guitar)

[AdAstraCan]

Beautiful rendition! Thank you for sharing this. I aspire to play as well as you.

[peacejoytown]

@AdAstraCan Thank you! Enjoy learning and picking.

[RAEN74]

This song made me want to start playing. Always have...but this finally made me do it. (not yours particular...) But anyways I've learned now and can play a version of this...but I really like your arrangement! (or perhaps your heavenly sound off your guitar XD)

Anyways was wondering if I could buy the arrangement? or if you are giving it out, could i get a copy of it? Again willing to purchase it (if the price is right) Id love to play your version :)

Thanks, sincerly a fan!

[peacejoytown]

@RAEN74 Thank you. I haven't written this out yet. I will post it to the Supporter's Area once I write it out. Enjoy picking!

[55DepotStreet]

Amazing. A budding master of the instrument.

[peacejoytown]

@55DepotStreet Thank you. Although Buddhism is at the base of my life I am non-religious.

[YowEtsu]

I really like it, thank you for posting the video.

[peacejoytown]

@YowEtsu Thank you. It is my pleasure.

[PhysStud2011]

Excellent job! How long have you been playing?

[peacejoytown]

@PhysStud2011 Thank you! I've been playing on and off for nearly forty years.

[rogelio451]

I know it was Japanese not American, Kyo Sakamoto who died in a plane crash. Great song in the 60's and today!

[peacejoytown]

@rogelio451 Yes, he did. I still remember the disaster. The joyness of the song remains the same after all these years.

[rogelio451]

Hey Hiroshi, Wish you would do a great old american classic called "sukiyaki"



[peacejoytown]

@rogelio451 Actually I have it somewhere in my channel. It is the only Japanese song that hit #1 in US.

[rogelio451]

reallllly goooood!!

[ijichishota]

マジうまいです！！fingerstyleってギターの上級者に­なってからじゃないと始められないんですか？？



[peacejoytown]

@ijichishota ありがとうございます！ 今すぐにでも始められますよ。始めないと上級者にはなれません (^^)

[PJSkitszels]

Have you made the tabs?

[peacejoytown]

@PJSkitszels No, not yet.

[XxXPRINCEsesaXxX]

@peacejoytown Please make some,,I'm Begging You,,please share your blessings

[peacejoytown]

@XxXPRINCEsesaXxX I will when I can find time to do it.

[Christa20]

have you got any tabs? please :D

[peacejoytown]

I haven't written this out yet. (^^)

[Timp7503]

Hello Hiroshi!

Amazing cover...Can you add tab on your site?)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I will when I write this out.

[MrHunSol]

perfect!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[Briandmb08]

Can you buy your album electronically? or does it have to be mailed? I'm wondering because I really want to get access to the tabs that you have available.

[peacejoytown]

Since I only have license to sell them as discs, there is no downloadable version. Your support will be greatly appreciated.

[joepilot48]

Very nicely done. Good technique and control. What kind of Guitar? Strings?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is CAMPS CUT-900S/TUNE with Augustine Red strings.

[tpickin33]

is this a standard tuning?

[peacejoytown]

Yes, it is. All my arrangements are in standard tuning. I am too lazy to change it.

[mesmoquesejaeu]

Beautiful! Amazing! Perfect! Good job!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[aceiommi]

you da man!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[StarPathOne]

Well done! Nice and smooth!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[plangentmusic]

Pretty.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[schak7]

Wow beautiful. I was studying when I heard this and I had to break my concentration and see how you played it. Also, what brand of guitars do you use?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It's Camps CUT-900S/TUNE.

[samd1231]

Excellent !! Can you tell me how you are getting such a clean and clear sound ? Are you sending the audio and video directly into the computer ? Can you tell me what audio video hardware that you are using Etc. Etc.

It would be a great help to me.  Thank You, Sam

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Sam. I use Fostex MR-8mkII for audio recording and Soundtrack Pro software by Apple for mastering. I then use iMovie software also by Apple to join it with the video. The guitar (Camps CUT-900S/TUNE) has Fishman Prefix Stereo blender PU built-in and Para Acoustic D.I. is used in between the guitar and the recorder.

[SilvertipFan]

Wow, Hiroshi, best Beatles cover yet!! Where have you been -- haven't seen any new videos for awhile?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I've been moving around and have no time to sit down for a new video, but I will try to make one soon.

[chlore2004]

the first chord on bridge. and now the "time will come" is actually d minor 7

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for telling me. I'll check it when I write this out.

[nomoretears131]

I'm not much one for people postng covers of sogs on YouTube, but that was amazing.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[rokada55]

this is the best cover I've heard so far. do you have the tabs/finger pickin' sheets somewhere available?

Thanks

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Although I haven't written this out yet, I have some scores/tabs of my arrangements available to those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation.

[timvitkuske]

amazing. how can i learn to do this? how long have you been playing guitar? can you read music?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Try playing what Paul did and add melody to it. I've been playing on and off for nearly forty years. Yes, I can read music but I don't use it much on my playing though.

[TwilightZin]

This, like so many Beatles songs, seems simple, but it's not. Beautiful job.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[daneknight33]

Thanks man, this is one I can sing along to and not miss one cue..you rock!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I pay attention to the length of the original track when I play my own arrangements since it is also input into my memory.

[Missundaztood91]

Excellent :)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[shrubhater]

This is one of my FAVORITE songs by the BEATLES. Thanks for posting

:-)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is one of my favorite songs too. (^^)

[kavorka999]

great job....how about Warmth of the Sun by Brian Wilson ...

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Brian Wilson from Beach Boys? Although I have never heard that song, I have a friend who is a maniac fan of Beach Boys and I will ask him if he knows this song.

[kavorka999]

There are several versions on you tube. Vince Gill does one of the best versions of Warmth of the Sun. Thanks

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I will check it out. I can't guarantee if I would do it though.

[mytubederk]

wow - how good is that :-)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[MisterVirtual]

Beautiful and soothing.

You are an inspiration.

Thank you!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is my pleasure.

[Mrikickanus]

man. i'd really love the tabs to your version.

this girl i like really loves your version also and i'm hoping to play it for her someday.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Although I haven't written this out yet, anything you play with your heart will reach her, I think.

[bjbell52]

Another question, to you come up with these songs on your own? Thanks again.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Yes, all my videos except the ones I am playing Jerry Reed tunes and Chet Atkins arrangements are my own arrangements.

[aldievilla]

Top Class as always

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[fredthejunkman]

i really enjoyed this. 5**** from me.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for *s.

[ratemyshi92]

this is amazing

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[shauny6969uk]

Beautiful.... thank you

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is my pleasure.

[pescriollo]

A great arrangement, like always, you are my model to follow, I really want to play like you, Can you give me some advice to get better?

Thanks again

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. One thing I can say is to focus on what you are creating (music, atmosphere) rather than what you are doing (playing). This improved my playing greatly. Of course you need to practice for that.

[BuddyBolden]

This has always been one of my favorites -- such a beautiful melody. This is a great arrangement and performance, as always.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It sure is a beautiful song.

[kiiaz]

whats that guitar u have again? i forgot

[peacejoytown]

It's  Camps CUT-900S/TUNE made in Spain.

[panbaydah]

Whenever I listen to the music you play, all my worries are gone!! Great arrangement!!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I'm very happy to hear that.

[Timp7503]

Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!5555555555­555555

But how you play the moment when "One day, you look..."?

About right arm

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Do you mean how I pick? I don't know in details until I write it out

[Timp7503]

OK!

....can you,If at you is a few time, send me please how to play this song(without introducrion)

In advance thanks

[Timp7503]

P.S.

It will be better, if you will be use "Guitar Pro"!

[peacejoytown]

I use Finale for scoring and will be up there as a pdf file.

[peacejoytown]

Well, scores for my arrangements are now available to those who supported me in some ways. (like ordered my CDs.). And when I write this out, it will also be up there among my other arrangements. I need some push to keep on. I hope you understand.

[MrBIueSky]

Very nice! :)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[blueberryma]

I had forgotten how much I liked that song. A very nice arrangement with some interesting harmony to it, using the entire neck of the guitar. It seems that all of your arrangements are very well done.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Although this song wasn't a big hit, it is a very lovely song.

[roll168]

great beatles choice!

have you ever considered "things we said today"

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I will consider about that.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I like this season too. I wonder what it would be like to be in southern hemisphere around this time of year.

[thormaxtwo]

Like it is every year.... hot...

[peacejoytown]

In southern hemisphere? It is usually hot around this time of year in Japan but we are having unusual chilly days for a past few days.

[thormaxtwo]

Lol I went to Brazil once, and it was hell. I couldn't imagine living there. But yeah when anyone says 'southern hemisphere' that's what I think of. :P anyway great job on the song.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I hear things about Brazil, but I still want to go there someday.
