[geens2ndScene]

you are awesome for doing this song.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[KGSGOMEZ]

mind sharing the tabs for this song please?

[peacejoytown]

The score/tabs of this and some others are available to those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation. I need some push to keep on. I hope you understand.

[cstcb]

Wow! Absolutely amazing job! Brought tears to me. Incredible work!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[boredwithusernames]

This is my all-time favorite Carpenters track and you do it great justice. Very nicely played and with feeling. Thank you.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Their music filled my high-school years with a lot of joy. I will try to work more of their music.

[DilS1992]

is that a see-through guitar?!?!?!?! :O :O :O

[peacejoytown]

No, it has a frame that form the shape of normal guitar for easier holding.

[ChrisB851]

Thanks so much for posting the tabs for this! I've been waiting to learn this for months! Thanks again Hiroshi. Keep making beautiful music.

[peacejoytown]

You're welcome. Sorry for keep you waiting. It looks much harder on the score than it actually is though.

[ChrisB851]

@peacejoytown

No worries. Yeah, the score looks a bit hard for the 2nd part, but doesn't seem that bad once you get the chords down, I suppose. How do you find the Yamaha versus the Camps Cut? Looking to buy a better classical soon.

[peacejoytown]

I do arrange based on chord progression of songs but when it's done, I have no thought on chords. If you are talking about real Yamaha guitar versus Camps, you'll have to pick one that you feel comfortable. Yamaha makes many good guitars too.

[1stpanzerguy]

super talent, oustanding! where can I buy your CD???

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. This arrangement will be included in an album that I am making right now. Check the link in the song description section. It is the one that includes "sketch3".

[yokie7]

wow , i really like your guitar cover~

So nice , Are u a guitar teacher?

....Thanks for uploading this sweet song...Arigato gozaimas

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and Douitashimashite. No, I don't teach guitar. I'm terrible at it.

[dirknowme]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[jinggoy010]

recent

[peacejoytown]

I wonder what it means???

[delfincastigador]

Hi.....that was beautiful.!! God give you a gift.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I think God give everyone something.

[Batman001]

Man, great cover

I'm about to try and write a cover for the Carpenters song 'We've only just begun' based of the piano arrangment I heard on the waterboy. Hard to do such a great band justice like you did. Cheers

[Batman001]

*I mean Happy Gilmore, lol

Cheers

[peacejoytown]

Gilmore? Is that a song name?

[Batman001]

Lol, sorry I was tired when typing that last message.

The song is "We've only just Begun" by the Carpenters

I heard the song briefly while watching the movie Happy Gilmore and it was a stunning arrangment that I hope to be able to cover on my guitar.

[peacejoytown]

I see. Something you heard on screen sometimes become very inspiring.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I like that song too and will try it someday.

[buibui2009]

あなたのギターは心が癒されます。

素敵な曲をありがとう。

[peacejoytown]

ありがとうございます。

そう言って頂けると嬉しいです。

[temariful]

それも、即興なんだそうですから驚きです。　ギターを弾くために生まれてきた人なんですね、きっと。

[peacejoytown]

いえいえ、即興はミスった時のカバーとか知らんぷりとかぐらいな­ものです。

[mkena88]

選曲がいいですね、センスの良い方ですね

こんなにギターが弾けたら楽しいだろうなー。

[peacejoytown]

ありがとうございます。

このあたりの音楽で育っていますので。

[abhiroopron]

WOW! that was great! Wish I could play my guitar like that. This kinda stuff is much better than those head banging metal stuff....Keep up the great work....Hope to see more videos from you mister :)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy other videos too. (^^)

[martinjp1958]

Beautifully played and musical interpretations of these classics. Brilliant

Rina

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for a big hug Rina! I needed that.

[ShadySidebury]

Hi, Hiroshi.

I know this is an older video, but is there any chance you might be able to write out the score at some point? :-)

Thanks,

Shady

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Shady. I will write it out someday.

[jinggoy010]

Thank you jinggoy. I know that song but I've never tried. Maybe I'll try that to expand my Carpenters repertoire.

[jinggoy010]

WOWZ!!!

[ii2]

This arrangement is great, I wish it were tabbed...

I found you from Sungha. He plays many of your arrangements... even ones without scores???

I've been watching all your videos the past couple of days... you have great talent. I love all the arrangements.

So again, props to you!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I wish I have a time to do that too. Sungha plays by watching my video, not by lokking at scores.

[mikeew1951]

what a talent !

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[junyou72]

I often play your clip in my store when I work, customers ask me who play this, They tell me "so good", I agree. "Find him out on Youtube" I said.

[junyou72]

what's your name? "Hiroshi Masuda" is it right? your playing touched me.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Maybe I should visit your store someday. Yes, that is my name.

[alexhuangmofa]

excellent, excellent, excellent

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[gwktan]

my friend, this is another my favorite! It is really rainy day and monday in HongKong this week. People are down because a lot of people died in china last week. :-(

[peacejoytown]

I am checking the news of both China and Myanmar closely as possible. I feel helpless myself. We have many earthquakes and typhoons here in Japan, so many of us are aware that we have to live with them. All I could do is to hope that those people who is suffering now be smiling eventually.

[crackednails]

Simply beautiful, is this your own arrangement?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Yes, it is.

[bintangtheater]

Rainy days and mondays always get me down, but you playing this song just made my day! THANX!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. That is good to hear.

[Atkinsfan]

I would have listened to this song for another 15 minutes if it ran that long.

EXCELLENT!!!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I will play it as long as you like when we see in person. I might make some variations on-the-fly.

[kempo48]

Maybe the best I ever heard. You must love what you do because it comes out in the music.

Keep putting this stuff on the web and I'll keep listening.

Great music!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I do love playing for sure.

[bitcheznhos]

that was tight yo!!! you should do a whole album

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I have to find out which album this song is in.

[tinian33]

NICE!!!!!!!!

Now do one with the blistering "Goodbye To Love" guitar solo.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!!!

That's a nice song. I will try.

[tinian33]

I'm curious.....I haven't heard this song in a while, but don't the Carpenters modulate (key change) after that bridge in the middle? I'm not criticizing your playing but I was just wondering--it is hard to change keys on the guitar because you can't take advantage of the lush open string arrangement in the original key.

Peace

[peacejoytown]

They use that kind of transposing in many of their songs, and Yes, it isn't easy for guitar to do that. I could use capo with rubber and slide it up though.

[chilao1981]

what a wonderful music and smooth sound. unique guitar. what is the brand? thanks for sharing. you are great.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. You can find about that guitar in my site. Click the "Website URL" link on my YouTube Channel page.

[PaCobble]

Another beautiful song with a super arrangement. Such smooth playing!. Many Thanks for these tunes. Jim

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. When you play any Carpenters song, you want to play smoothly.

[JMDenver]

Another great one. Happy New Year Hiroshi!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and Happy New Year to you too.

I do have CDs and some for downloading. Click the "Website URL" link on my YouTube channel page for CD. For downloading, read the channel profile on main page.

[0ldfinger]

Beautifully crafted. You do great justice to a beautiful song. Do you work out all these arrangements yourself?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and a Happy New Year!

Yes, all those arrangements are mine. I just pick a song that I like and try to reproduce the feel of it with guitar in ecological way.

[domon1964]

Good job!

Great fingering!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!
