"E" FFX Silence Before The Storm

[adtransporter]

i love ur music do u play by ear?

[pineapplepeanuts]

This song is great and you did it justice! Nice work :-)

[jasenandstuff]

tabs?????

[trollercoaster99]

aha i can play this song oh wait its on easy...

[keithrichard226]

I don't have a capo yet but I've been learning this song at a capo of 0 and changing the key. I've been finding the x 1 3 0 3 5 chord stretch very difficult but after a week of practice every day I have that smooth. I also struggled with doing the bass "G" note with my second finger in the second and later measures.

Thank you for your inspiration. I want to learn many of these and then try arranging Final Fantasy songs on my own, to enhance my music ability.

<3

[blackdeckbox]

Is it possible for me to learn this straight away without proper training? I know how to play from low E to high E, but I can only play one string at a time and I play REALLY slow. How long does it take for me to play as fast as you?

[keithrichard226]

@blackdeckbox google "guitar principles" and absorb everything you can

[pein05]

this is so good

[trollercoaster99]

this is one of the few songs i know how to play

[kaltadesmon]

i've always loved this song its so relaxing :)

[amazingmuffinman]

Hexxxxxxcelent!!!!

[nevershoutshye]

sometimes when I find all these covers, I wish they were in the game instead.

this one too. ):

[asianleo15]

@IzzetOfGod

If you never played guitar than it may be difficult

But you gotta give it a shot anyway,keep trying and trying till you get it

[IzzetOfGod]

i want to learn this song. but i never played guitar before... how do i start... it seems so impossible... and this is even marked "E"

[apezaaa]

GOSHHH LOVE THIS I listend to it for 3 year already ?????

[TehUberCyberBeast]

:)

[ridgestrife]

that is really great lonlonjp xD

[rozzer1142]

[921144666]

[lonlonjp]

@921144666 haha^^

Don't forget it, my friend^^

i am always waiting for your support, your kind message and your unique user-icon xD

[apolloslyre08]

@lonlonjp Hey lonlon do you use an amp when you play? If you do, do you use delay, reverb, or any other effects?

[Bloodydigger]

Why am i only just watching this now...

[blakefish80]

DOOONAAAAA!!!... Have you seen Donna? ;)

[wlayothewarriorblack]

:) my friend you are very good , you're a very talented person,nice song

[c1011737r]

Maybe cover Ramza's Theme from FFT?

[unmaskedgrunt]

This is one of my favourite tracks from FFX, and you've done an excellent job at making it even better

[lucaslmgv]

Do you have written arrangements for this?

It's beautiful, and I can't find it anywhere. =(

[XGSatisfaction]

u make easy songs look like hard songs :$

and make them soo much more beautifull

[fenrircloud01]

6 people should have a guitar battle with lonlonjp and see if they can keep up with the epicness talent lonlonjp shows and we all know lonlonjp cant lose

[SomeSunshineOutside]

So... incredibly... soothing...

[laharlrules]

Kudos to you LonlonJP

you're my Idol and inspiration from now on :D

I totally want to be like you someday ^^

-Oh yeah :D

[commaqwat]

you always choose the right guitar to fit your songs ^^

[Jaixstar]

why do my tears fall to this song? they never fall for a friends death but this song just shows my life in a perspective unlike any other thank you for making me realize that music is my life

[Valkeryie666]

Lollon,

You are an epic person, and your arrangements for all your covers are brilliant.

I picked up a guitar back in 7th grade but put it off, until i saw your cover for Time's Scar, which made me want to play my guitar again.

I have been doing my best to learn Time's Scar, and it's been very hard since i have small hands and such, but nonetheless.

Thank you

Gloria

[lonlonjp]

@Valkeryie666 haha^^

Your guitar must be delighted with your nice decision^^

i have got very small hands and short fingers as well.

However i thank my mother so much to give me this small hands look similar to hers.

[Hiteryan]

This is godly. You are awesome and epic.

[joc2kent]

You have the rare gift of making it sound like two guitars are playing. Awesome.

[67086598]

You are the main reason i started playing classical guitar

[PetGoldfish]

This makes me want to play the FFX all over again.

[Robert9767]

you don't need to have played the game to appreciate the music. I've learned this and "To Zanarkand" and I show off with them all the time XD. but I never get negative feedback because it's not just nastolgic, it's beautiful music.

[jkneeland89]

This is one of my favorite tracks from FFX, thank you for playing it so beautifully. You have such remarkable skill it's simply amazing. :)

[ThatNameisCoo]

Lonlon. Thank you so much. I am 16 years old, and you are what made me pick up a guitar. I love final fantasy and of course, music. Currently im trying to learn the FFI Town Theme, from a tab of yours. Every time i get discouraged i just watch a video of yours and say "Hey... that will be me on day =)"

Thank you so much for the inspiration, lonlon. Also- if you can reccomend any beginner songs, i would be appreciated (preferable Final Fantasy)

Thank you very much- Brayden.

[Zellfreak]

Purely perfect..i'm not gonna lie i mostly made a youtube account just to comment on your vidoes- and i've comment on many of them because they're so...there is no word to describe how amazing they are. you were born with an amazing talent maybe someday i'll have a song request for you!

[lonlonjp]

@Zellfreak haha^^

Thanks for your compliment =)

i really appreciate it =D

[Zellfreak]

@lonlonjp I have a request! it's a simple song yet still very good. If you haven't done it already, could you compose a version of "Dearly Beloved" From the Kingdom Hearts Series?

[Flipazn777]

Tutorial plzzzz

[Dejeunerification]

@Zellfreak amazing talent, hah. You can do it too. I can't even imagine how hard lonlonjp had to work to become as good as he is. There is no talent, only hard work and time.

[Noodle1423]

you need to make a CD collection of all your amazing arrangements....

I'd buy like 5 of them.

[altemich9121]

hey men, eres asombroso. tocas muy bien la guitarra, ademas de que la cancion es muy bonita y oyendola en guitarra se oye mucho mejor. men, mucha suerte en lo que hagas.

[Gsus665]

such a pitty that you can only give one thumb, but in front of the screen i sit here and show you both thumbs up....aaaaand sorry for the bad english :)...fantastic played...i had to stop watching very soon, otherwise i won´t do any word in the beareu and just listen to your songs all day...mhhhh....why just 17.000 watches...deserved a hundred times that often...those are the videos i love youtube for :)

[neXusDuCi]

u inspired me to learn many final fantasy songs now :)

im using your tabs and practise, so that it sounds 100% like your version.

thx for the great work \o/

[SparktheHedgehog]

Got hit hard with some heavy nostalgia from 0:53 - 1:23. Awesome job

[DrStabkill]

I would pay for this transcription, seriously.

[DrStabkill]

I would pay for this transcription, seriously

[dady39564]

I wish i played like that your great i pickup the guitar so someday i can play like you

[xdavidxedge12]

please could you play TO FAR AWAY TIMES from chrono trigger

[1upOneup]

your soul is beautiful

[ShadowHoang]

Oh Lonlon, I dont want to be a bother but do you think you can do me a request please? Its a song from FF7, I dont remember the name per se but I beleive it is Vincents them (I dont think there is an actual title but still) I would be simply in love if you could do that! Thank you! And I'll Vid response with me doing the tabbed version as best as I can XD

[noutathewolf]

@ShadowHoang

Actually he's already done Vincent's theme :)

just search "Lonlonjp vincents theme" and youll see it

[einherjarium]

ahh macalania woods...

it's been long time when i last played the game.

nice job

[EmphaticItalic]

My God, so beautiful and romantic. ^_^

[brainrotator]

pro

[00Apex00]

I left a video response of me playing this song.

My no means did I capture the same amount of elegance and emotion in my version, and at that, you do, and always will triumph.

Keep playing.

[TrigimicART]

LonLonJp, I have to say that you're truly a great musician.. I am an artist, and make painting videos.. Would it be ok if I use your music on a FFX Painting I'm going to make? Again, Great job and keep up the great work.

[lonlonjp]

No problem ^-^

Best luck to you!

[TrigimicART]

Thank you very much :), can't wait to get home and get to work.

[lonlonjp]

haha xD

you should! when you feel like to do do it most desperately :)

sometimes the feeling urges me to arrange and play a song as you said... lol

[LexCluthor]

Great playing i so wanna learn this now

[JuniperJones2U]

amazing as always dear friend... you should transcribe some Chopin from piano to your wonderful tones! I would love to float away to your Nocturne adaptations...

[d0m2288]

that was very well played. i'm a pianist but this makes me want to learn guitar.

[lonlonjp]

Thanksso much for your listening to this video ^-^

i always respect piano works =D

[FrioneeeL]

nobuo uematsu is a fucking genius

great cover

[incestedmuslim]

fuck yeah! Real nice. 10/5 stars

[jiggyfool69]

i like how he has this as an "E" song

[NeoKyosuke18]

assuming your being sarcastic.. a lot of his songs are quite challenging, this is a lot more simple to play. Less moving up and down the fret board, and very simplistic chord patterns.

[ICatchMoreFrogs]

@jiggyfool69

Neo is right. If you want an example of a hard song, watch his video for Those Who Fight Further.

[Marqene]

ye, same here, I was looking for something with E so I could play it, but theres gonna be a lot of practising before I make it sound propely. Quess theres nothing good that doesnt needs any effort.

[Futureperfectxx]

Speechless...absolutely stunning..

[SabrinaValenzuela]

yeyyy! this is one of my favourite final fantasy pieces, I love it :) ..beautifully played! ♥

[AkasunaNoPauline]

this song is awsome =D

[Jualtair]

This music reaches the soul and makes more happy...

Ju

[AsDasDantery]

You seem to truly love Final Fantasy :) So do I. Many Thanks for ur wonderful guitar-covers. Keep up the good work, though working on final fantasy music isn't really working but enjoyment!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your watching this video ^-^

[GitarMartin]

Is there any way to get the tabs for this version?

[JuniperJones2U]

it flows like water dear lonlon... like water... perfection is a river you ride on, thank you sir

[condorasesino]

Wow, best guitar version of this song on youtube. There's another version with more views, but isn't so nice like this. Do you have TABs or Partitures of this song in guitar? Thanks!

[noutathewolf]

Hmm, I'm probably wrong- but isn't this simliar to macalania woods? Or maybe it's played in an area around that on the map.. Hmm.. Anyways, beautiful :)

[SuperMarioMoonshine]

@noutathewolf It's not similar, it's the same song.

[Enkhmurun]

This is easy?!! O.O omg

[Chunkyfudgelover]

I'm afraid it is haha! But only relatively, of course it's difficult though far easier than some of the other songs he plays in this style. Put it this way, I've been playing guitar for about 12 years, I can play almost any rock/blues/metal solo you throw at me, however this kind of playing makes me run away with my tail between my legs! I've only been fingerpicking for about a year, though with inspiration like this I'll surely improve!

[Noodle1423]

i bet over 100 over these views are from me

I'm obsessed with this song..

[akichimihito]

I have the sudden urge to play the game again...as well as my guitar XD

[Avatar013]

Bahahahah. How could people put a thumbs down on that? They must have not played the game. I love the song but I still get the same annoying memories of the damn butterflies. lmao.

[blahdob]

After the temple in bevelle i fucking hate the cloyster of trials tune too now

Grr!

[NatureTome]

@Avatar013 Even if they didn't play the game. It's still a beautiful song, and a beautiful arrangement of the song :) lonlonjp forever :D You'll always push me along the road of playing classical guitar, whether you know it or not :)

[lonlonjp]

@NatureTome haha^^

i know it now!!

[JShawtyKim]

@Avatar013

I didn't play the game and I love it :p

[xraydu]

FUNNY

[DrStabkill]

Must have transcription!!!!!!

Please share!

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

lon ibeg of you do a tutorial of this. And how are you my dear youtube friend ^^

doing well i hope

[slipslooosh]

hi is that an ibanez ? Thanks

And great cover!

[lonlonjp]

Yes, it is ^o^

i love it.

[slipslooosh]

yeah is that the ew20ase or something?

I was going to buy that gutiar because 1. it looked extremely beautiful and i checked youtube videos for it and it sounded really crisp and fine. But it got expensive and i lost it. Instead i bought a yamaha apx5a which is also really good!

[killakid443]

this one has always my favorite :D

[Axelander9999]

Is this song intented for an acoustic guitar or for an electric one? Plus, Bravo! Great cover! You turn a great song into a spectacular one! Congratulations!

[GabAkaBoboZ]

Hahaha well played! You played wonderfully smooth! =D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much indeed for watching this video =)

[00Apex00]

Umm... This question has been brewing in my head for awhile.

Do you actually play the games, or do you just take the requests?

Either way... superb job.

This has to be one of the most peaceful songs I've ever heard. And your guitar really helps.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my videos ^^

As for your question, i acutually played the FF games from 1 to 7 "realtime", i mean soon after each of the game publishing =) i am looking forward to playing 8 and after... after my retirement. xD

[n37upload]

lol cool. Then maybe I can hear some FF13 OST from your channel in the future.

[GoldenFist4]

5 stars :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your high rating =)

[Chompobar]

One word... GENIUS! I was shocked when I found out this song is your least viewed video. You are pure talent. I'm sure you hear this every day, but you're a guitar god.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your compliment =D

[93JB93]

this played in kilika woods correct??? man i spent so much time in there trying to get there master weapons lol 3yrs go by super fast lol

[00Apex00]

This is actually in the Macalania woods.

:)

[GuitarMarc89]

omg brings back sooo much memories..

awesome :D

[jackthebuddha]

is it in standard tuning?

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my video ^-^

i wrote my guitar tuning of each of my video on "more info" =)

As for this video, you are right and put your capo on 3 fret :)

[killakid443]

what effects do you use its sound just like the real song

[lonlonjp]

i did not use any effect between guitar and amp ^-^ The guitar was directly plugged into VOX DA5, a mini portable  amp, which had got build-in reverb, chorus and etc.

[killakid443]

cool amp wut fret do you put your capo

[lonlonjp]

Please see "more info" of each video ^-^

"Capo = 3" means "you should put your capo on 3 fret" in this case.

[Noodle1423]

i'd kill for tabs of this...

[lonlonjp]

this arrangement is rather easy to copy... please watch this vdieo carefully, then you can play it on your guitar soon ^-^

[Daltrey1994]

dont we all wish

oh well at least we can just enjoy lonlonjps great playing

[xellestar]

Very good.

This song lends itself better to a group, but this is a nice rendition!

One of the few great tracks on FFX.

[JoshuaDDownes]

This is one of my favorite FFX tracks. Very nice!

[jeffreysam]

perfect playing! i am going to sleep well tonight because of this

[tayrobinson123]

Nice song! I alot of your songs and I was wondering if you knew some people that could do a duet song with you...that would be pretty cool...or maybe if you have a original song you made.

[blarghwastaken]

Absolutely wonderful. I wish I had the tabs or sheet music to this, but it seems as though I shall just have to watch you play and figure it out :)

[abrunomack]

OH DUDE..... thank you so much for doing this song

[921144666]

thanks for doing my request for me...i listen to this when i do my late night homework...this song is one of my favorites in the final fantasy saga. you play it perfect! u da man!! :-)

[TheDoomOfAllFires]

Such a lovely piece.

And awesome playing, as always. =D

Thanks Lon'

[GreenFr0g]

Lonlon, I really enjoy listening to your playing, and how effortless you make it look, even uncomfortable stretches. Your interpretation of this song in particular is beautifully rythmic.

I would be very interested to hear any original guitar pieces you may have composed...

[gorgojo500]

this is a really good one lonj :D!!! thanks for uploads all those beauty songs, ur the best my friend ;)

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

[miyukoyumi]

あなたのファンになりました！！

急な話でまことに申し訳ございませんが  楽譜でひいてるんですか！？

それとも耳コピですか！？

本当に申し訳ございません！！

[lonlonjp]

コメントありがとうございます♪

ご質問の件ですが、オリジナル音源を耳コピして

自分で手書きのギター譜（タブではなく５線紙）

を書いて、それを弾いています☆

これからもがんばりますのでよろしくお願いします\(^-^)

[xxxxGabriella]

wow your amazing and i love your videos ^^

is there any chance there is somewhere to download your versions of FF music?

thanks again ^^

[TriXter21]

You play beautifully. =)

And you inspire. Which I, personally, think is one of the greatest things an artist can do. So...thank you. =)

[lonlonjp]

i must say "Thank you" for posting your encouragement^^

[spesialkeita]

滅茶苦茶良いですね！！

[lonlonjp]

ありがとうございます☆

[spesialkeita]

lonlonさんのギター動画でＦＦ１０の萌動ってありますか？­

[applepunk81]

OMGGG!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[tangramman]

I would much rather prefer this version of the song in game than the original. It's stunning how well you play.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your nice comment^^

anyway, your youtube icon is so cute! i like it :)

[Alberio200]

Wow.. Amazing... Your version of this song is simply amazing! Keep up the good work! <3 your videos.

[kragle2008]

you truly are my hero of classical guitar lonlonjp.

[seraphim2025]

damn once again Awesome!LOL.ur acoustic sounds very nice,what kind is it?

[lonlonjp]

Ibanez EW-10A, it's reasonably priced, about $300 as new when i bought it^^

[Moonlightflow]

Sooo sweet ^^ I love it!

Say I love you guitar too! it is beautiful!

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

Lon i beg of you please please please make a tutorial!!

you play this with so much grace and i think im not the only one who wants to be able to play like yourself, thanks again

ash =)

[malec7321]

Lonlon, do not take it lightly when I say this, I really mean it. You have a gift, those strings ring of such emotion and soul, and always fitting to the songs that you play. I hope one day I can hear you playing IN a FF game, or any game for that matter! I think everyone that listens to you can agree that you have the talent to make it.

[chuchine1]

YOU GO LONLON!!!!! XD

[moongleams]

wow, just... WOW!!

so beautiful that even the brightest star cannot compare. :)

[KeunT4e]

this gives me the chills =)

the title matches perfect with your play,

this is so peaceful man!

[Dan1loBr]

Man thanks a lot, I can't thank enough with words...

Enjoying every part of this piece ^^

[fendermac]

Beautiful.Thanks lon.*****

[ZebraGoat]

For awhile I have disliked this guitar for some reason or another. This video has changed that.

Keep up the good work, bud

[Cypher8301]

This is great. This is one of those songs in FFX that you really do not notice the first time around, but when you hear it a 2nd time you think "wow, how did I miss the intricacies of this piece". Anyways, great job. I know you probably have hundreds of requests, but if you ever get the time, I would love to hear your rendition of FFIX's Danger in the Forest. You should really think about quitting your day job and pursuing music.

[bigethaniel]

this is the best one ive heard so far excellent as always :D

[joechip123]

Wonderful :))

I love the ending - I know it can be hard to figure out a good way to end a song that is meant to repeat forever, but you found a very beautiful way on this one. Great job!

[twise95]

What an awesome rendition! Very nice lonlonjp keep it up man :)

[FF4eternity]

sorry but..my comments are always the same.

Amazing.

arigato

[blueredfred2]

beautiful!! probably one of my fave ffx songs because it has that sort of "undecided" feel to it, like you could interpret it as happy or melancholy.

[breexy]

Beautiful!

[HollowRiku]

OMG I didn't realize how much I loved this one until now, that I've heard it from you! You want me to play the guitar, nice job man *_*

[TheLostCetra]

Amazing! This is really pretty :D I wanna play ffx again so much now!! ^.^

[Xuchilvari]

another great performance :)

really nice song

will you play''holding my thoughts in my heart'' please XD

PD.thanks for answering my comments bye lonlon

[ChileanIggy]

simply superb

[4Gibson4]

THE BEST VERSION!!!!!!
