[ubidubi04]

[nopanopaa]

[SoyuzBot]

This music really does sooth after those battling in Alexandria Castle, Evil Forest and Ice Cavern, doesn't it?

[Asparagus428]

@SoyuzBot yeah! But behind its very relaxing theme, has its dark secrets.. BTW, I would like to hang out in this place. :D

[silversouleater]

I was hoping to find an arrangement of this piece by you! Dali was my favorite location in the game. Actually, I think Final Fantasy 9 was one of my favorite games, and that included the sound track. Thank you for playing it! It lifts my spirits and calms me whenever I listen to it. =)

[Freyjrid]

this may easily be the best song in the game... and for sure the best ive ever heard it played! Truly masterful!

[Fylazi]

Very Nice Hand! one of my favorite theme song.. it makes me remember my hometown... Great Play!

[AaronsGame]

You are truly amazing at the guitar! I love The Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy and they both have beautiful music! But you turn it around into a beautiful and amazing acoustic guitar tune and recreate the same wonderful feeling of the song! You have inspired me and I hope you keep on making videos and go on with guitar!

[laimiite5]

Dude thats awsome!!!!!

[LordVysh]

I love this game. It's still my favorite.

[ze0r05]

Found this, tabbing it out iand sharing s pretty much the same as "teaching"

copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.­html#107

[ze0r05]

I'm trying to get a feeling for arranging by tabbing these songs out =D But in the choking-issue i think there are much more major problems than solo-guitar arrangements which are mostly played for fun ;)

[freakforall100]

it brings back so much memories of good times i had somedays.. literally: this song is the key between emotion and selfishness

[Lucay1994]

que hermoso dan ganas de llorar de todos los recuerdos que me trae, buen trabajo lonlon '0'

[kinselator1]

maybe you are aware of this, but there is a website called gametabs.net which are showcasing your works... is this ok? if not you should tell them to stop just thought id tell you!

[lonlonjp]

@kinselator1

Thanks for your message.

They have offended many copyright regulations without prior consent from the original composers and arrangers including myself. i do understand that they love these songs so much, unfortunately however, what they are doing is choking music industry to die. i do not belong to any music company, but my friend musicians are getting tougher and tougher by these kinds of websites.

[chessismygame9]

@lonlonjp its true i found some of your versions of songs like Garden of the Gods (lonlonjp version) Thats what it actually said

[musenji]

@lonlonjp Then you have gotten the copyright holders' permission to post their works? I am a strong believer in copyright, but if you're posting arrangements without permission from the original copyright holders, then gametabs is no worse.

Plus, gametabs is a place where people go to learn how to play guitar by playing game music...many learn to play (and buy music) who would not otherwise.

I have deep respect for you as an arranger but I think that in this issue your statement is incorrect.

[Onimyst]

@lonlonjp I think you misunderstand... all they are are your arrangements tabbed out so people can learn them. Nothing else, so I don't see how that is choking the music industry.

[lonlonjp]

@Onimyst OK! I will explain =) If you can get them free as you wish, how those musican can live by their music works. In the end of the day, there will be no ocupation like a musician. They must earn money for their family and their future beautiful works. That is the reason why we must respect and protect their copyright. I respect Nobuo Uematsu' works so much and other future musicians too. I strongly hope we can enjoy their future music works together.

[Onimyst]

@lonlonjp But we aren't getting their arrangements, just tabs of what notes to play?

[lonlonjp]

@Onimyst Then the original composer will lost his/her oppotunity to sell his/her tabs. If you can get someone's arrangement for free, how you dare to pay the original composer? Those who post the tabs for free are robbing the oppotunity of the original composer to sell it by him/herself. Therefore I chose to sell my arrangements of other composers and share the contribution among original copyright holders. All of my own composition are free, but I will not post other musicians works for free.

[Onimyst]

@lonlonjp Hmm hadn't thought about that. I just started learning so all I wanted to do was learn Zeldas Lullaby which I found on gametabs, so I'm quite ignorant.

[lonlonjp]

@Onimyst

Thanks for your understanding^^

I would like to play the guitar everyday, but I cannot... because I cannot earn enough money to support my family from my guitar works... partly due to the exsistance of many free guitar tabs website ;) Therefore I must enjoy working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every weekday in an office, nothing to do with any music works at all xD

[rufuguru]

@lonlonjp hello, I'd like to say that I love your videos, but I will disagree with you about the "opportunity" argument. Nobuo Uematsu has all of his sheet music for sale, and he makes a ton of money selling them, and so do other composers. Often, these composers won't sell tabbed out arrangements due to the lack of a consumer base that they appeal to. More people want sheet music. Two, if I get a "free" tab, I can use it for myself, but I can't play it at a live show or use it...

[rufuguru]

@lonlonjp in competitions. I use "free" tabs to learn. Anything I would play at paid shows or for competitions, or even things I would post on youtube will be things that I transposed myself or composed myself.

Thanks ! =)

[krusszz]

i remember....when my party finally reach this village

just listen to this song....make me wanna stay longer in front of my playstation

[ecosoft08]

i wana go sleep after listening 2 dis song

[ecosoft08]

so relaxing...gudnyt

[sifutruman]

Wow! I'm blinded by your pure talent.

[adrianlm]

Songs like this makes me think about how misterius is the power of transforming the move of some strings or wind into art.

[sasteck]

this is a great tune from FF IX, which for me is the best of the series, and also has the best compositions. Nobuo Uematsu did a great job here and you played this song beautifully, I really enjoyed! Brings back some good memories, already listened to it a couple of times :D

congratulations

[MrFlippy101]

it makes me wanna play bac all the ff series

[Phoen81]

Where can I find a tab of this version?

[kommyCaleb]

Dude, i must say your videos and talent at guitar are fan-fuckin-tastic! you ever consider using an electric? or are you solely acoustic?

[flipmira]

Nicely played m8...

[bms71488]

The only word to describe the way I feel about this piece is "Home" This is a song I can listen to forever and still feel the same way. Nobuo did so well as to embody this feeling in this track. And lonlon did so well in playing it. I can truly feel his heart.(and thats true for most of his arrangements!!! :D )

[politicalninja2044]

one string is just a little out of tune, but your capo might just be set a little off. just saying...

[isaican]

i just heard a chocobo in the distance..

[Nickl245]

@isaican it sounds like someone is crying down there!

[brbqueef]

AAAAAAAAAND major nostalgia bomb.

[bitoyhalas]

FINAL FANTASY IS THE BEST GAME EVER!

[MiguelSly]

It's funny. I'm learning this song and Path of Repentance from Lonlonjp, and even though this one is "E-M" and Path of Repentance is "M", I find this one much harder to play.

It's a beautiful melody though. I definitely got to learn this as soon as possible. Thank you for posting these, Lonlonjp.

[ilikewasabe]

[lamernitro]

[HDClassicOrchestras1]

i love this song

i love this game

forever in memories

[garethrogue]

FFIX is one of the games that made my high school years bearable. Indescribably beautiful soundtrack.

[gunawan783]

うますぎ

[iR2h4wt2h4ndle]

Very nice.. :)

[Darenged]

I'm honestly not a emotional guy, but this reminds me so much of my childhood...

I was like 6 or 8 years old when I was playing FFIX along with my brother on the PS1. This theme will always be in my memory.

Thank you so much for this. You did a great job and made my day :)

[fAkMatthew]

@Darenged this is exactly my situation... im 16 almost, my brothers 20. and this song takes me right back to being a kid, sitting there playing with him haha

[yugdesiral]

excellent work, sounds spot on!

[gtonimusha]

great music, you seriously have an immense amount of talent lonlonjp, to think that you arrange this by yourself and it came out this beautiful :] please keep up the good work.

PS: Im currently in Japan as well :]

[DraGoN32591]

This song brought up great memories of my childhood. As well as a tear to my eye. Great job man.

[leiumhoma]

Final Fantasy IX

A Love forever! :D

[Zeromus2000]

Ha,I try this since around 30 minutes on my keyboard and the first part of the song works very well but the part from 0:42 is a little bit harder:-(

But I will go on and learn it:-)

Very good Video,greetz from Germany to japan(I want to be there:D)

[noutathewolf]

So peaceful and relaxing. It makes you want to just listen to it looped forever. Another song that brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for playing this!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks noutathewolf ^-^

i really appreciate your comment =)

it is rain here in Japan today but i am a bit happier to see them really... lol

lon

[colombiano870709]

@lonlonjp i am learning classical guitar and i would like to learn your version of melodies of life......may have have the tabs of the song? i would be very happy. Keep doing it....you are my inspiration ^_^

[thatonekid206]

Nobou always seems to find a way with music that just enters your heart and trully touches us. That is why I beleive final fantasy has had the best music, the man really knows just what to put in for every occasion :)

[Alicecrepusculo1]

que increible interpretacion, sin duda alguna uno de mis juegos favoritos,, me gustaba pararme un buen rato en esa aldea para escuchar esta bella cancion XD...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening, Alicecrepusculo1 ^-^

Arigato~

[colombiano870709]

@Alicecrepusculo1 jajajajaja yo hacía lo mismo, iba solo a dali para escuchar la música.....mi final fantasy favorito sin duda...fué el juego con el que conocí la saga...saludos!

[mviejo1]

@Alicecrepusculo1 SII LO MEJOR ESE JUEGO !! !:3

[HeinrichHuber]

@Alicecrepusculo1 jejeje yo también!! y en alexandria destruida también es muy bonita la canción, ^_^

[helenmatulac]

sooo great :(

[mykemztr]

Really love this one!Memories that will keep forever.

[anthonyritchie]

So many memories when watching your FFIX videos. It was the first Final Fantasy game I played and it remains my favorite, by far.

Keep up the awesome FF arrangements. I can only hope to achieve your level of skill one day.

[hidenserch]

agreed to the fullest. down to the point where FFIX was my first Final Fantasy Game too haha :)

[anthonyritchie]

It probably sounds a bit cheesy, but I'm not ashamed. The two things that come to mind when I'm asked about my childhood are Pokemon and FFIX. This song embodies my childhood. Not only does it bring pictures of the serene country village to mind, but also everything carefree and whimsical about childhood. It really makes you just stop and think about your life and its focus. This is the power and beauty of music and its players. Keep up the awesome work lonlonjp.

~Anthony

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your posting a nice comment on this video, anthonyritchie =)

[Calvinooi]

@anthonyritchie

Same here :3

My childhood comprises of those 2 games plus Klonoa X3

[EduardoKempner]

You and Joan are awesome, you two are the bests players I've ever seen...

I hope I play like you guys someday :)

[JoanSteret]

Really beautiful. I hope play like you in the future ^^

Your friend, JoanSteret

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video, JoanSteret, my friend musician on YouTube ^-^

[glenny126]

for those who would like to play this song on your guitar;

Difficulty level: "E-M", Easy to Moderate

._.

[MiguelSly]

@glenny126

It is suprisingly difficult. I'd definitely rate it Moderate. But it's most certainly worth learning.

[crankyboiy]

you should do some chrono cross songs... it's as good as final fantasy 9 music if not better... but i still can't chose which of the 2 is the best rpg game of all time...

[arthigosan]

omg! this is my most favorite song on ffix!

O_____________0

i'm waching all your vids now. thanks for upload them! great work!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video ^-^

Currently i am arranging "The Extreme, FF8", then FF9, FF10 and so on... would you please wait and enjoy more :)

[traveller89]

what is an arpeggio?

[Quacktacular]

Its a progression of notes which form a chord played in sequence, either ascending or descending. So like a really slow strum where each note is sounded separately! Hope this helps.

[traveller89]

i see... i plan on taking classical guitar lesson but for now i have my studies.. cant wait to play guitar and go traveling..

[lynchjuk]

Fantasic, i just love this song and it sounds soo much better on guitar. Would you be able to send me the tab if you do have one please? many thanks

[kaecy0325]

dang dude..ur good...

[gerardsk8ordie]

Better than the original song

[Nobodydgf]

Can you teach me :D ?

[Marismaro]

could you possibly send me a tab of this or post it? ^^;

[iuliusguitarpro]

he said that he was an amateur but I don´t think so... xD well don Lon I love that song(Y)^^

[takatakboy]

one of my favorite ff ix songs. thank you very much for your job well done

[reynoldswrap]

[rickyrickyful]

[murasuX]

[dugkskub]

Oh. Amazing

I love it very much!!

Can you send tab for me please ?

[Daltrey1994]

he doesnt make tabs

[rcolin53]

hey lonlon, does everyone on japan knows about final fantasy? coz just everywhere, they just collerate with the music. ah, so wonderful :))

[lonlonjp]

Not everyone knows it ;) Especially those who do not play video games at all.

i am sure that they may hear a FF song somewhere in Japan but they never recognize it as a song from FF.

[nswrth]

am i dreaming ?

[mariano141189]

One of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.

Thanks, Lonlonjop for this awesome song. Perfecly played.

You're my inspiration.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your comment ^-^

Many friends on Youtube inspires me to make some more efforts =)

[xellestar]

Fantastic, very soothing piece, i too have memories of drifting off in my chair on a lazy summer afternoon while at this section of the game!!

[MaliceBloodlust]

Ive passed out while playing the game in this village its always so soothing to me

[lonlonjp]

haha... xD... zzz...

[naomiCENSORED]

This is a beautiful performance of a great song! Such clear, well-defined notes on that guitar-- we can tell you're a master!

And can I make a request? If you haven't done this already, maybe you could try arranging "Eternity: Memories of Lightwaves" from Final Fantasy X on solo guitar? That would probably be spectacular!

-Naomi :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks Naomi for your suggestion ^-^

[naomiCENSORED]

oooops, I think I meant Final Fantasy X-2 -_- I feel stuuuupid. But anyway, I still think you'd do a great job of that song. You know, if you are ever looking for a new song to learn....

All the best!

-Naomi :)

[dmonchir]

lonlon just insipred me to play ff9 again lol, like he did to let me play a link to the past... better play it in my psp though... nice work dude high 5 on this ;)

I dont know about playing it on a guitar but its for sure that its a great song as well ;) So my recommendation ';)

[goombaacez84]

[otacon7522]
