[GirlzRockerz]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I will try.

[JusInBello]

Heyy! Please could you tab this out? I have to perform this song on guitar for a Christmas concert in early december and I really like the fingerstyle better than just actual chords! If you can't I guess that's okay, but it would be great if you could.

by the way this is amazing.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Actually, I haven't played this since last Christmas and probably will not start playing again until this December. Maybe you can transcribe it from my video?

[dpla5762]

Hi,

This is one of my all time favorite Lennon pieces. I am kind of a slow learner. I have been trying to play this song without the lyrics for some time now. I love your version. I would love it if you tabbed this out a few months before Christmas so I could have time to learn it. The song is breathtaking, you played it amazingly.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The problem is that I don't remember this very well and I have to watch my video to get my memory back. I'm not sure if I would feel like working on this before Christmas.

[Ebucra]

Awesome! Can i have the tab for this please!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I haven't written this yet. As a matter of fact, I forgot how I played, so I need to look at the video before next Christmas. I have some others if you like to try. Check your inbox.

[gggatita]

Delightful!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[connecticut11]

and u look john lennon too

[peacejoytown]

Do I?

[connecticut11]

no one tells u?

[peacejoytown]

Not that I remember. Maybe George for a few times.

[007nico007]

ありがと,I love this stuff, you play is like AWSOME

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The song is out of season but still a good song.

[007nico007]

yes but i think it doesn't matter when you play the song

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. This video will be a good reminder for the next season.

[007nico007]

yea !

[JesterCoToons]

beautiful

beautiful

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[vision19701004]

Sheer brilliance. Do you have a music book of your versions for sale? I'd would love to try to play some of them.Great stuff.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I have nothig to sell, but I do have some to share. Check your inbox.

[andrewbeng]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!!

[donnamarie930]

sounds just like the real song!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I made this arrangement for an event held on December 8th in Tokyo. I tried to make arrangement with the feel of the original song.

[iThomos]

Do you have the TABS for this?

[peacejoytown]

No, I don't have one for yet. I will in future.

[handmemygunx]

every single video of yours is amazing.

wow.

you're awesome.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[jcsport313]

can i have the tabs for this

[peacejoytown]

I don't have any for this one yet. Maybe next Christmas.

[mu301nh]

any gigs in london?

[peacejoytown]

So far one on July 23 at Chesham is the only one scheduled, but if I could, I would like to have one at as many places as I can like London, Liverpool...

If you see my friend busker Hideaki Domon, say hello to him.

[ajbremer]

Very nice playing, I enjoy it. Have a great Christmas, keep playing, and thanks for your hard work and dedication.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you. Arranging and playing are so much fun that I have never felt them as work.

[PaCobble]

So beautiful!. Super pickin and super tone. If only I could get my Godin to pick and play like that. Jim

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. If you already have Godin, you are in good position to start. I am still struggling with the sound coming out from speakers, but it is a very useful tool to me so far.

[shirkinandsunny]

I can't tell you how I *stumbled* over your site here, but I am glad I did...someoneone said it makes them feel relaxed to listen to you play...that is very true...keep on playing...I for sure enjoy it...

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I am glad to hear that. As the time is rushing, people needs some kind of relaxing pills like me.

[legshot]

Very nice! I'm right now struggling with the simple rhythmic version, but this is very nicely played!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. More you struggle, more you learn. Keep picking!

[stefwaters]

Great ! excellent !

Well, is it possible to get the tab that you use ?

Thanks for the nice moment anyway..

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I have a few other scores waiting in the line, but maybe I should do this before Christmas, or at latest before new year's day since I won't be playing this song after the new year's day.

[tosand1]

Wonderfull, very compliments man !

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[7065654]

oh?the new song?i never heard it,but the name is good!is it beatles?

[peacejoytown]

Yes, the name is perfect for this time of the year. It is by John Lennon.

[bongserinas]

u make my day relax again...

[peacejoytown]

That is what I am trying to do.

[74hodag]

As usual, beautiful! I wish I had half your talent.  Keep it up!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Never mind about the talent. Everyone has it. It is a matter of using it or not.

[JMDenver]

That song is so nostalgic...makes us all think of mustaches that have come and gone...just kidding...as always a great piece. Thanks for sharing!

[peacejoytown]

Yes, it is, and perfect song for an event or gigs for this time. I played this on the gig I had last night, and I could hear the audience was singing along. That's another way of sharing I guess.

[Batistick13]

cool, i like the movie editing in the begginging with the titles. great song... this is the first time i heard it though. it was great

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I just used iMovie's title feature. It is a perfect song for the time.

[fanoguitar]

Again, a beauty! Very nice!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[izkailuagary]

Beautifully done, and how appropriate for this time. Peace from Hawaii.

[peacejoytown]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It's Godin's Grand Concert Duet.

[Vleatles]

Truly amazing!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[keithyoong]

Thanks for your immaculate rendition of my favorite Lennon's song. It gives me the chill. Merry Christmas everybody esp. you, Hiroshi. May all good tidings come to you. May peace be upon us.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I remember the winter when this song came out. It was a cold winter. Merry Christmas to you too.
