  • have you ever considered playing different game's song? like Grandia's Justin and Feena's love song? or have you did it already?

  • "the planet is doomed Anyway...However I got the feeling there's still a hope"... that's the way this music make me feel.

    Sad and Hopeful 

  • great work, have you ever considered doing Abel's Harp from seint seiya?

  • @lonlonjp I know this is one of your older videos, but I can't stop listening to it. Nanaki(a.k.a. RedXIII) And this song are filled with such soul, and it's the soul of honor and true understanding. Words can not describe how this song resonates within me. i can close my eyes and feel each note and cord, the pain of loss, the joy of finding one's self. Thank you for doing this piece lonlon, you are a true inspiration to me and one of the reasons I keep my guitar in my hands(even if I'm a newbe)

  • I've been playing for a year and 2-3months, and I can play that.

    so yeah, it's possible, and I'm 23. so no complain about being too old.

    I'm Studying Lost Painting from castlevania right now.

    But you know, studying thoses songs REALLY made my comprehension of the guitar increase. by A LOT. Thanks lonlonjp.

  • CAN you do Kikyo's THEME?! :D

  • I could watch you for hours... no joke~

  • I love this but I can't play that

    It's harder for me >.<

    I'm Beginner

  • this song makes me cry. Damn you NANAKI and SETO!!!!

  • Beautiful.

  • Best part 1:18 -

  • How did you get so good??.. I've been trying your tabs and im having a hard time. my fingers are slow and i dont know how to arrange my fingers on the fret..help, :(

  • One of the saddest themes in the entire FF series, also one of the themes that conveys emotion best. You can feel the sadness Nanaki has when he discovers his father's true past.

  • this is brilliant

  • Wow... awesome!

  • that was really good mate!

  • You remind me of my guitar teacher :D

  • **standing ovation**

  • You say if I want to play this on Solo guitar it sould be in the key of E minor, but what do you mean by that?

  • @WarriorOfTheHeavens

    For a guitarist, Em is the most easy and famillar code to play^^

    that's what i mean and i do love this beautiful song all the more :)

  • @lonlonjp I love this song too! I never knew about this song before, until I found you playing it! It is quite Ironic though that the title is Great Warrior, and my name is the WarriorOfTheHeavens! ^_^ Funny thing is I got that name from a really long and wild dream I had...It would take too long to explain. Anyway, thank you for explaining the Key of E minor thing!

  • This was my fave part of the game, when red XIII was looking up at his daddy and howling. It was such a sad and happy scene.. if you know what i meen, and this has brought it all back, thank you ^^

  • Your amazing! your interpretation is a huge inspiration for all of us trying to play these themes like the way it is !

    Greetings from Colombia!

  • and once again a beautiful rendition man am i glad i sub'd you

  • If I could play like you I would never stop. I like you coat too!

  • awesome u make me want to pick up a gauitar and play alot of song bt i really want to learn breathing by yellow card

  • Brilliant playing! Of course, I'm sure you're used to such comments lol. I would like to make a request as well. Do you know the song called Past Story? It's part of the anime Fairy Tail. One of soundtracks.

  • This is just beautiful. It's honestly one of my favorite songs. Really, you're amazing with that and it makes me want to pick up a guitar. No matter how long, if you can put that kinda feeling into it it must be worth it, right?

  • you are just awesome lonlon. All the feelings i have when i hear that song, it is incredible !!

    Please, make a tutorial video, i beg you ! I want to practice that song with my guitar!

    Your greatest french fan, Flo

  • what is it that makes you this good ?? i can finger pick like that at all , ive been playing fr 2 1/2 years the only tune that i can play like you is interupted by fireworks but the others i know i can only play about half , you should do tutorials your brilliant i hope to be able to do what you do

  • You know lonlon, I´m playing FF7 again nowadays and it really got me coming here to watch this again. Two thumbs up to you man. Master skills

  • Poor oul Seto. Known by his people as a traitor and in fact he is a hero. All these songs from cosmo canyon are very inspirational. Great job Lonlonjp ima start learning this song straight away hopefully wont take too long to master.

  • We have 3 people to hunt down lol

  • I almost cry when i watch your videos :'< They are so touching and masterfully made : < I wish i could play as good as you. <3

  • you're a god amongst mortals :). awesome man best played so far, you are impressive i wish i had your talent to play my favorite tunes. awesome job

  • wow! watching you just makes me want to learn, and i regret not having done so when i was a kid. I am already mid 20's and think its too late to pick up an intrument. Honestly, Do you think there's still hope for me to pick up a guitar this late and able to learn how to play like this? I would imagine that this kind of level of play could only be achieved if one started very young and played very often.

  • @Angryfatkidd haha^^

    i did not play the guitar so often.

    But when i played it, i really enjoyed playing it, forgetting everything behind.

    i envy that you are just mid 20's.

    Please take care of your guitar =)

  • @lonlonjp "please take care of your guitar"

    i love that, treat it as if it were a part of you. :-)

  • @Angryfatkidd it's never too late to learn guitar as long as you love to play and practice often. Don't expect phenomenal results the first month but in a couple years of really dedicated practice you probably could play this song. Don't delay and start learning now, I promise you will not regret it. Playing guitar is one of the best and most enjoyable things life has to offer.

  • @Angryfatkidd It's never too late mate. My dad picked up a guitar 3 months ago for the first time and he's loving his learning experiance. It's all about passion mate.

  • @Angryfatkidd

    It's definitely possible to play like this even if you're in your mid twenties, I've been playing for about a year and half and I'm twenty five and I can play this. You have to work your ass off but it's definitely possible. And believe me it's worth it. So GET TO IT :)

  • @Angryfatkidd

    If you start playing right now, you should be able to play this in 6 or so months, go for it.

  • @Angryfatkidd I learned Courriel of his songs 2 years after starting to play. I usually played 15-30 minutes a day. And if you haven't already started playing do it now! Don't get discouraged if your fingertips start to hurt.

  • @Angryfatkidd Van Gogh started painting in his late 20's there is still a long way to go I believe, just work as hard as you possibly can and never give up, and further on you'll be happy.

  • @Angryfatkidd Van Gogh started painting in his late 20's there is still a long way to go I believe, just work as hard as you possibly can and never give up, and further on you'll be happy.

  • @Angryfatkidd

    I'm twenty five years old and have been playing for only two years, I am about 6 months away from being able to play this piece at this or higher level. It is defintely possible. You have to be as determined as a crazy person though. I studied every day around two hours for two years to get where I am. But it is possible. Are you willing or able to put in the time and effort to do it is more the question.

  • @Angryfatkidd you should pick up the guitar, its never too late to learn ^^

  • @Angryfatkidd Pick one up! It's not a competition, it's about creating beautiful music. You have many advantages right now, actually. You can avoid all the bad habits young players get in, and you can afford to get proper equipment, which generally sounds better (in the right hands :)

  • @Angryfatkidd

    i am mid 20s. i picked up a guitar that i bought at an estate sale for 20$ about two years ago. THE MOST important thing that i learned is that whatever you hear, you can play on guitar(and you can hum it)

    i play now mostly by ear and had all of a few piano lessons as a kid and never played instruments growing up. i have always had a love of music and when it occurred to me that music is open to interpretation i realized how simple it really is.

    then i started to be able to play

  • how the hell can people not like this? its BEAUTIFUL!

    Love the work man!

  • Man, just in such a mood to lisen to all your stuff today :D so awesome. This song always made me a bit sad. Poor Red XIII and poor Seta

  • Fantastic playing, you have exceptional talent! :D

    Imagine the worlds that lonlonjp could begin with his two magical hands. Now imagine the worlds that he could end. :P

  • *tears fall from a stone Seto.

  • This is so amazing, it makes me so happy to remember the game, but sad because I want to play it again. I wish I could figure out how to play this song. Great job man

  • nice

    

  • I didn't believe in god until I saw that he posted videos on youtube under the alias lonlonjp

  • Ive been wanting to learn this song forever! I completely forgot about it untill just now. Thank you so much for reminding me!

  • Hello,i think you should approach square enix or whoever owns the rights to these wonderful pieces and ask permission to make an album,i for one would buy it without hesitation,as would thousands of others judging by your page views.I also feel that this music would be appreciated by a much wider audience than fans of the video games.I think that you are truly talented and deserve recognition beyond YouTube,all the best to you for the future.

    High Regards

  • you're the best guitarist on the net if you ask me, awesome song even like it more than cosmo cayon, you're the best.

  • YOU ARE A GOD, LONLONJP.

  • Very cool, do you have Tabs written for this that I could use? =)

  • "That Nanaki is your father Seto even after the Gi shot him with their poison arrows as his body turned to stone he defended Cosmo Canyon even to this day he stands watch and protects us"

  • Loved this one...

  • very beautiful

  • i have had to add almost every final fantasy cover you have done, you are truely incredible with that guitar

  • Masterfully done! I wish I could play my guitar like you. Perhaps I should spend less time playing the final fantasy series :-)

  • haha xD

    Please say hello! to your bro =)

  • I've seen many vids of it, and many comments saying those were the best cover on youtube, those who said that just haven't seen yours yet ^o^

  • Gravity Materia Obtained.

  • Wow... I REALLY REALLY want to get the tab to this. I just learned The Nightmares Beginning recently and this is next on the list. However, I cannot seem to snag this one by ear since it requires that you combine 2-3 different riffs into one instrument. PLZ post YOUR tab to this one. I am not interested in anyone else's lol just this one.

  • Dito .... Absolutly brilliant ! :) Subscribing , 5 star ! I love all your piece lonlonjp ! please for the shake of our lifes ..... do not stop making those song who's making me enjoy the life easier. * Thumbs up* my friend ^-^

  • Thanks for your subscribing ^-^

  • no problem :) you really are Quite amazing

  • epic is an understatement ^_^ this is Unexplainable

  • Thanks so much for your kind comment =D

  • This is hmm... how do you say it? Epic? Yes, epic.

  • This song always reminds me of sad times this is one of the best parts of FFVII.

    I don't like the end of FFVII (the game) the begin is much more fun!!

  • Yea, the end just... Ended abruptly when holy came in to save the day..

    I wish there was a more satisfying ending but... I end up going back to FFVII every day since 1997.

    One of the best stories I will ever have heard in my life.

  • you have a real talent, but to thik the original composer must have been some sort of God of deep emotional music its incredible. SO SO well played thank you

  • played to so pationatly, i close my eyes and imagine myself in a field, surounded by hills and trees and wildlife, truley beautiful, i can not describe the way u inspire me lonlon!

  • Thanks ApelAndy for your support ^o^

    i hope everything allright for you =)

  • Thanks eveything is great, i got an A in my guitar solo exam! Thankyou so much!

    Right now I am learning Bluebird Naruto, i can work out what u are playing pretty easily but playing it is quite difficult for me right now, i am practicing though! Also i have a new camera but i cant get it to work!

    p.s. i will only post private responses from now to you, out of respect to you!

    Andy

  • @ApelAndy THEN YOU ARE IN PALLET TOWN, IN POKEMON WORLD" BUAHAHHAHAHAH JOKE MAN. LUV'YA

  • Amen

  • i have to fully agree with the last post. you truly capture the essence of the final fantasy realm in your style. it's amazing. i've seen guitarists but nothing as emotional as this. great job, man. i'm inspired as well.

  • wow that part in your description just gave me a flood of memories along with the song. I wish I could become your apprentice. YOu style so beats the metal covers on final fantasy music., I used to be so in love with those covers and now i hear this and it makes me really appericiate how a real guitarist plays. 5/5 I wish I could tell you just how much your music inspires me to do more and become better. Thanks.

  • best song from the game i use to sit in reds town and just listen to this song

  • Love the way you film the videos where we can acutally learn the songs unlike alot of other ppl out there who post them in bad angles. Again Pure awesomeness! FF7 FTW

    Because of you i will start a new game now . . . dont played ff7 since 6 years now!

    Thank You!

  • Brave, brave Seto. So amazing, this song brings me to tears.

  • very very well done it makes me want to find a ps2 and ff7 on ebay or something so i can play thia and only this game

  • Absolutely beautiful.  Definitely one of the best songs in the game/series.

  • nice how long do you think it would take me to learn this im just started to learn playing guitar

  • ahh that a good reason for me to be here right now. thanks so much.

  • Best song in that wich is the best game ever made.

    As impressive as always, lonlonjp.

  • I just have something in my eye...

  • you are my hero

  • all of these songs are much better on acoustic or piano, especially when someone with skills play them

  • Every time I hear this song I´m almost crying...absolutely beautiful music. RedXIII is one of my favorite characters from Final Fantasy. His and his father´s story is so sad...

  • you play this song so well.. it almost brings me to tears.. poor seto.. :'(

  • Excellent

  • Amazing.

    Hey don't you get goose skin while playing this?

    It brings so much memories back *-*

  • I love all your videos. You rock ! I hope I can learn to play guitar 1/2 as well.

  • wow thnx for the vid and showing us how to play this thnx ;)

  • After hearing this along with Tifa's song I am such a fan! Your playing really brings out the emotion of the piece. thanks for sharing.

  • all of your songs are just undescribable. as supavog said i can't either believe how many people this game has impacted... it almost feels like FF is a lifestyle :P as geeky as it sounds.. but no game has NEARLY touched me as close as FF7, FF9 and FF10... they are just such legendary games.

  • seriously amazing...I tried to play justin's version as well but I like yours much better...the little things you add here and there are amazing...do you have tabs or chords for yours you'd be willing to share?

  • its pretty cool of u to post up justins version. i have that 1 memorized

  • Perfect!..wow

  • dam i cant believe this game impacted so many people...

  • Why?

  • this is really awesome. you are very talented at transcribing the music! :)

  • Thanks watching this video ^0^

  • Perfect! Just perfect!

    Keep up your amazing work, lonlonjp!

  • Thanks! i will ^o^

  • If they were to have a remake of the Final Fantasy VII game for Playstation 3, they should get you to play the songs on your guitar, they're really amazing.

  • oh yes totally!

  • agreed :)

  • Thanks so much =D

  • @Hokkaido656 You couldnt be more right.

    I totally agree

  • simply amazing my friend makes me fill like im playing the game all over again

  • Thanks so much for your watching this video and your comment ^0^

  • Nice. Truly the level of a God.

  • AGREED!

  • great playing....

  • i have watch all of yours vdo can u make a music sheet of what u compose pls or a vdo teaching how to play it i really love those song and its hard for me to find a music sheet for guitar or tab.

    thank you in advance

  • I am brought to tears by this song every time I hear it. I mean You play it beautifully and then I remember what happened in the game. So sad and beautiful. I cry. Love it. Absolutely love it.

  • Does anyone get this feeling that you can't explain when you listen to any FF7 song? I am speechless, and have this weird feeling that I can't express in words...

    You play it perfectly!

  • I know what you are talking about, and here's the best way to explain in words: A lot of Uematsu's work has the ability to instill the emotion he was thinking of when he wrote the song, right into the listener. It's the hallmark of one of the greatest composers ever. Oh, and great job lonlonjp. :D

  • Again...amazing...

  • From what scene is that lovely quote in lonlon´s description?

    Grandpa Bugenhagen?

  • you'd be right there. A good quote to be sure. one thing i never fully understood is if he returned to the lifestream or not..I think he did.

  • Thanks listening to this video^^

    i have arranged "lifstream" so many months ago according to my friend's nice advice, but i have not yet uploaded it up until now, i do no know why... in spite of my loving the song so much =)

  • simple request. if it can't be done it's perfectly ok but i was wondering if you could do the Cosmo Canyon theme. it's one of my all time favorites from this game. excellent job with this whole playlist. it's simply amazing.

  • cosmo canyon is amazing. this song and that one re my two favorites from the game

  • when i listen to your music i just see the pictures of red XIII forgiving his father...

  • Yes, very much so I agree too that. That was such a touching scene.. it was unbelieveable..

  • i like the sound of that guitarlolnice play lon...

  • I wish I was at least half as good as you. I practice everyday and hopefully one day I can play this song just as good as you.

  • hehe, so cool. ff7 is cool, as is this music and the playing here. will be watching more vids when i can!

  • does first part of this song is chord:

    "Em - G" or "Em - Bm"

    I try play and sound same

    Before I play "Em - D", but when I saw this vid, it correct me

    Thanks lon, i think you're the best acoustic guitarist!!!

  • 2 minutes and 41 seconds of shivers in my spine.

    Whenever I feel a lack of motivation with playing music, all I need to do is to watch one of your videos. In other words : Thanks a lot! :)

  • i totally agree

  • Thanks so much for your encouragement ... both of you ^-^

  • where can u get this tab i can play the song, but want this version thanks master

  • omg thats one of greatest comments ever

  • brings a tear to my eye..amazing

  • Yea me too. This was, I believe, the first truly emotionally charged moment in gaming for me; thus I've always loved this song. I used to play the midi file in my winamp playlist back in the day.

  • Thanks listening to this video and your nice comment ^-^

  • makes me want to replay the game. I beat it again 1 month ago

  • Awe inspiring,

    Thankyou. :)

  • a question ... have you actually played FFVII?

    I ask this only to know if you really know the effect these songs have on us (nostalgic gamers)

  • Yes, i actually played FFVII =)

    i did from FFI to FFVII soon after its release. My son, currently 18, did from FFVII and after =D

  • Comment removed

  • shivers at 58 seconds ^^ (in a good way)

    Great playing Lonlon

  • Thanks listening ^-^

  • its a pleasure *_*

  • oh he put the link in his info woops

    this is awesome noobs lol

  • anyone want to play this?

    have a look at kabukibears version at gametabs

  • One of my favourite music in final fantasy 7, it is so beautiful.

  • You forget the words of nanaki "Im nanaki, the son of the great warrior seto!" that maked even the pretified ones cry...

    Great arrangement it realy touched me

    it's very beatifull
