[peacejoytown]

@Lolscatz We are so apart and so far from the message.

[Grofazz]

You make this old stale song sound so fresh...

[peacejoytown]

@Grofazz Thank you. It is an old song but beauty of the song remains the same in me.

[MrSam6776]

Wow, love it! Do you do all of your songs in standard tuning??

[peacejoytown]

@MrSam6776 Thank you! Yes, I only use standard tuning for arrangements.

[garth700]

[OGDaniel1]

You are absolutely incredible! How long did it take you to achieve this level of mastery?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I really don't know. I've been playing on and off for nearly forty years and some say that I was better twenty years ago. I feel more comfortable playing now though.

[longhairedshorty]

[peacejoytown]

Since I make the codes available to those who purchased my CDs, I need to be fair with others who actually did order them. I hope you understand.

[GuitarOdyssey]

Love it. Before I purchase your cd to get access, what tunnings are you mainly using?

[peacejoytown]

[peacejoytown]

[towhereveryouare]

cool.... its amazing... hope i will learn how to play it.. ^^

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Hoping is a good start. (^^)

[dragonxcore]

oh wow... you scared me. haha, i am learning this song by your tab, and noticed on measure 45.. it says to stretch from the 2nd fret to the 9th fret for a chord... i checked and you do not actually stretch like that so it must be a mistake. phew!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for telling me about it. It was a careless mistake and I have to have Ninja fingers to move that quickly. I'll fix it today.

[dkrncks]

Wow finally you cleaned up your room:):) its much better than before:) and your playing is always so beauiful and wonderful!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Actually it is a different room in a different city. The mess is still there. (^^)

[XCaeruleus]

@peacejoytown

It seems there are many tricks I can learn from you. :-)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Really, there isn't any trick. Just fingers moving and mind singing. (^^)

[XCaeruleus]

@peacejoytown

Heh. I meant about just finding a less messy apartment...

Talented and clever, LOL

So ho do people get access to your scores when you don't have a CDs available?

[peacejoytown]

It's easy. Just move out and find a new clean room. If it gets messy again then find another clean room. (^^)

I do have a several CDs for sale.

[JustCause95]

@peacejoytown hi, first of all your playing is awsome! And...where can i find tabs for your covers?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. 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 get by. I hope you understand.

[osiris492]

You absolutely amaze me!

i read on another comment a while ago that you give tablature for your arrangements if we buy the c.d, is this still true?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Yes, I share scores/tabs of some of my arrangements with those who purchased my CDs as to show my appreciation.

[dwags2424]

this is one of the best guitar covers i have ever heard for any song.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[silo999]

I love your fingerstyle...

Muchas felicidades :D ... espero algun dia ser la mitad de bueno de lo que tu eres

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and gracias!

[FilFra02]

where did you learn it? i want to say

[peacejoytown]

This song? This is my own arrangement. And I am a self-taught player.

[thomasranieri]

what a great version!you have added to the beauty like only chet could do! A beautiful song for a sad world we live in.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Chet is my hero.

[freddiebarry93]

you should be famous!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! Should I be?

[Beatleboy62]

All the parts like 1:10-1:20 were amazing!!!

Question...when did you begin playing the guitar?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I started playing around 1970.

[jeampes]

A great feeling of peace in this very beautiful piece of music ...

Superbly performed !

Thank you for the friendship.

Jean-Pierre

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Jean-Pierre.

[PaulDylin]

great peace

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[snoglobe68]

Happy Birthday indeed

Awesome job my friend

[peacejoytown]

Today is an another happy birthday for my grandson. He was delivered this morning, and now I am a grandpa.

[snoglobe68]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

Today is a happy day

Enjoy every moment of it and spoil him rotton...but of course make him wise

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I just hope that he'd be a person who understands the pain of others.

[snoglobe68]

your timing is impeccable Hiroshi

did you lose your remote? lol

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Do you mean headset? (^^);

[snoglobe68]

You usually don't leave the camera on for such a long period after finishing recording. I was just trying to be funny...delayed effect was for John I assume. Don't mind me i'm a little tired tonight.

[peacejoytown]

I thought I would stay still after the song is over for this video. Maybe I was bit tired that day too. (^^);

[cuntmonkey12]

i would give you my life to teach me how to play with the elegance and form that you do

[peacejoytown]

Thank you, but believe me, I'm terrible at teaching. (^^);

[turkamine]

I know I already commented on this new version, but DANG, you play this very good!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for the second comment!

[iisan1]

i got chills!

[peacejoytown]

I hope that chills were good one.

[iisan1]

of course its a good one!

haha

[peacejoytown]

Good. (^^)

[omatryn]

Splendid, as always! =)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)

[TonoMillan]

Hi Hiroshi,

Wonderful new interpretation of the great song.

Thanks my friend

Toni

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Toni. If the song is great, I have to be very careful not to de-grade it.

[MUZIKII]

I think it sounds better on your cutaway. What do you think, Hiroshi?

[peacejoytown]

Since Yamaha SLG-100NW has nearly no acoustic sound, I feel much more comfortable with the one with a body.

[jawmunji]

Fantastic stuff Hiro, you've really caught the spirit of the tune, loved it :)

JAW

[peacejoytown]

Thank you JAW (^^)/

[whiskofdrinkey]

This is Excellent.

Always SENSATIONAL.

Peace, Love & Happiness.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[Astaroth4625]

wow...

as always, WONDERFULL!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[BuddyBolden]

Lennon's original version has become so overfamiliar that I almost never listen to it anymore, but this is a beautiful and very moving rendition. Quite a nice way to commemorate his birthday!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I have the original track in my playlist on iPod and it plays everyday.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[xpiderxhan]

Just brilliant Hiroshi! Thank you very much.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is my pleasure.

[muditsethi]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[muditsethi]

[peacejoytown]

The score 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.

[iHoady]

Seems like a nice day outside!

[peacejoytown]

Yes, it was. It was a day after a big typhoon passed by.

[puddud22]

This is one of the best solos I've heard for this tune. That guitar has excellent middle range sound.

Jeff

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Jeff. The guitar has a well-balanced sound. I use Soundtrack Pro software by Apple for EQ and adding reverb, and that enhance the sound greatly.

[Henders100]

Brilliant, as usual.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[gwktan]

Hi HIroshi,

 I love to see you put this version on your new coming album! very lovely play again.

Gavin

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Gavin. It will be included in an album after next one when I make an another Beatles covers CD.

[nickvids4u]

nice. Sometimes better to sit down and play though

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[Pinata32]

Hey that's a beautiful arrangement

Is there anyway I could get this tab from you please

Thanks

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The score of this arrangement 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.

[enfantdecoq]

This is my favorite guitar version of Imagine now. Thanks for sharing, Hiroshi. Great work again ^^

Thank you. It is my pleasure. (^^)

[seanis67]

[enfantdecoq]

He says what guitar it is both at the start of the video and in the info section to the right :-p

[seanis67]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for follow up. (^^)/

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I learn to be patient by doing this. It is a very good practice for me. You know what you wanted to know by now. (^^)

[stephanhamel]

Beautiful!!  I have been practising your arrangement for a while...but I am certainly not as good as you are....

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Don't worry, it took me a long time to get here and I am still on the way.

[degasE1]

Excellence!!! 5s....Timeless music played by a great guitarist!

[peacejoytown]

[tonysm3]

This is why John Lennon, as long as thers people who can play his songs this beautifully

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I'll ask my mom to ask John about that up there.

[SabMei1]

I imagine that this video could become the most viewed video on youtube :-) Good luck!

I like this piece and how you play it very much.

5 stars for you

Sabine

Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us.

[peacejoytown]

[tnshutterbug]

Absolutely beautiful! Your "real guitar" has an awesome tone. This one gave me chill bumps. Never get tired of hearing you play. Thanks for sharing.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is my pleasure.

[PPKLU]

[janlau311]

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for *s.

[turkamine]

Great Job, real good version of this song.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[rd2ed]

I enjoy the extra arrangement of notes in this video, but I still like both versions, real guitar or not ;). I really like the lightness and smoothness in your playing style. Thank you Hiroshi!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is same me but two years older than the former video. I hope to find some progress.

[guitarapprentice1094]

As soon as I heard this I was overwhelmed with memories of listening to this song with my dad.

Thank you Hiroshi you just made my day.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The memory must be a sweet one. Glad to hear that.

[74hodag]

You've done it again! This one looks much more difficult than the last one and it's beautiful!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! The arrangement is almost same as the former video. I just changed the left hand form a little bit.

[JaidynsDad1982]

everytime time I hear one of your songs it just blows me off my feet, keep up the great work

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I'll try my best to keep on.

[Tinhamodic]

Great video, sweet music! Thanx!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is my pleasure.

[WuSuanSo]

Pure magic... This song brings back so many beautiful memories. Lovely interpretation. Thank you so much ;-)

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. To receive so many comments on three minutes of work is a magic for me. (^^)

[srgh12]

Real good!

thanks

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! It is my pleasure.

[HanzP]

Hi Hiroshi, this really sounds great. I think Bernd is right - it's got to be a real guitar!!!

But also your playing has developed. It has become much smoother and passionate.

So, the idea of redoing some of your hits is surely a good one. I'm looking forward to it!

Best wishes, Hansel

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Hansel. I can feel the progress especially this year. Next time I play in Lemgo, I'd be a better player, I hope.

[maciej131313]

so cool!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[paulbraz2]

Awesome!!! I love how your interpretations capture melodies so accurately.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I am just trying to sing with my fingers. This is also my favorite song in karaoke bar.

[FilFra02]

i love this song pass me the tabs :,,,,,,,,(

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Please read the reply to your comment on "Happy Xmas 2008" video. (^^)

[jbeck1337]

Your playing makes my day. Just so you know :)

I watch your videos daily.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for telling me. I am glad to hear that. Now I need to find something that make my day. (^^);

[99iron99]

Cool :P

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)/

[thormaxtwo]

Have you ever thought about doing a cover of 'enjoy the silence?' It's a great song for the lyrics, and the little riff it has. I've seen a lot of covers of it done on guitar, but would love to hear someone this skilled try it :D

[peacejoytown]

I've never heard that song. If I ever have a chance where the song impresses me naturally. (^^)

[yooj12]

happy birthday john! beautiful playing hiroshi!
