Sun King medley (Fingerstyle Guitar)

[Godzillabreath1]

This is my favorite video of yours. Do you have any albums?

[peacejoytown]

@Godzillabreath1 Thank you. Although I haven't recorded this for an album yet, I do have four CDs released so far and two of them are fab4 covers. Please check the link in the song description section or album icons on my top YouTube channel page.

[JaredAugerot]

Going out of the country is something I have always seen for people who are widely known. Your good enough, just, as I gathered, rather unknown.

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot Thank you for the information. I will probably look for a job abroad in near future. Let's see what happens after the trip to northern part of Japan starting next Monday. I will be visiting homes for ages in Ibaragi, Miyagi and Fukushima. Please cross your fingers for the nuke plants stay calm while I am there.

[JaredAugerot]

I was primarily on O'ahu, but It's Hawaii, I'm sure it's nice! How often do you perform live?

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot Hawaii seems so far away now. I currently play at homes for ages only. I just don't get enough people to come and I can't afford the expense.

[JaredAugerot]

@peacejoytown Welcome to the life of a musician! lol. Find places that you can perform at, like clubs, or even coffee shops, and even if they don't pay you for performing, you will get recognition.

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot Actually, I am like this for nearly ten years.

[JaredAugerot]

@peacejoytown Good! If you are recognized, go to the paying places. You can't make a good living staying in one spot as a musician.

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot I was thinking about getting out of the country and then the disaster happened.

[JaredAugerot]

the only bad thing I can say about this video is that you could edit the ending so we don't see you stop the recording!! Really well done!!!

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot Thank you! No word for background?

[JaredAugerot]

@peacejoytown That's true. Go to Hawaii and film it on a beach!

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot I would be very happy to be there but it would kill the strings.

[JaredAugerot]

@peacejoytown Fine, use the audio from this recording, and go there with a not so good guitar and play to the recording! Make a music vid. I could see it, minus the cost of going there and the stuff there. (I had a gig there and a snickers bar that was in the sun was $7.50!!) beautiful place though. truly lives up to it's reputation.

[peacejoytown]

@JaredAugerot That sounds fun. If I could ever get to go there, I sure will try. I probably go to Maui. I love that island.

[bwd1465]

probably my favorite video on youtube. I have showed countless people this and they have all enjoyed it. You have real talent man keep up the good work!

[peacejoytown]

@bwd1465 Thank you for watching and introduce this to others. I will try my best to keep on and up!

[PattieLNoah]

Fantastic! I play the medley myself, but not total fingerstyle. Excellent work...

[peacejoytown]

@PattieLNoah Thank you. That's the fun part of this one man band style.

[spenser330]

Very, very enjoyable and very well played.

[peacejoytown]

@spenser330 Thank you.

[jackalopebaird]

beautiful

[peacejoytown]

@jackalopebaird Thank you.

[peacejoytown]

It is a classical guitar made by spanish luthier Jose Ramirez. This model is named as 2E.

[johndeerebuggy]

Does he write his own stuff? He might not have done the origional version, but he has transcribed this entire piece. You will not find the sheet music for this in the store. Fantastic work again.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. No, you won't find the transcription of this because it is still in my head and Yes, I do have a few original compositions including the most recent video "Open Air".

[himynameisben95]

This makes me happy :) You have serious talent. I would ask for tab, but I couldn't even begin to play it this well :P

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Actually, I will need to go over the video to figure out what I'd done there. (^^)

[pFIoyd]

This is amazing!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[RobWilsonII]

VERY nice

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[sivadhunter]

Beautiful. Do you do your own stuff too? If so I'd love to hear it. Nevertheless, great stuff Mr. Masuda, keep on playing, and making the world a little better every time. ^_-

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I do have a few videos with my own composition. Some are used as a background music for slide show videos.

[csbII]

Very nice!  Good pickin.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[akajambas]

I really like what you did with the Sun King!!!! would u happen to have tabs for that?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I haven't written this and other songs in the medley yet. I need to go over them by watching my own video.

[DoctorPencilK]

good stuff

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[woodybanjo]

Great Job! The Abbey Road Medley is my favorite Beatles music.  You must have been getting nervous towards the end about making a mistake! You start to think ""im almost done and haven't made a mistake. .."

[peacejoytown]

Thank you! I get nervous towards the end on all arrangements. Then I realize that these are my own arrangement, so anything I do should be right as long they sound good.

[palitodepan123]

wow! you are incredible

:) i love it

5 / 5

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for the rate. (^^)

[bearpickle]

pcjoytown, i enjoyed that. how long does it take you to learn one piece, say, Mean Mr. Mustard?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. That is an easiest one in this medley and took me a couple of hours to figure it out. Others took days.

[fishe153]

Have you ever considered doing the entire abbey road album and making a playlist of it? You have so many beatles covers that you might already have every song, but if you don't, that'd be cool!

[peacejoytown]

I once had a gig doing A-side of Sgt. Peppers. Two more to go for that album, and for Abbey Road, I still have to work on another medley.

[tmaster6]

yo this is amazing. is the tab for that anywhere? i'm dying to learn it

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I haven't written these songs out yet. I will need to do that soon since I'm forgetting some parts.

[BelgiAmir]

I think this piece is one of your best !

I hope to see it written soon,

Amir

[peacejoytown]

Thank you Amir. I will need to since I have already forgotten most of it.

[BelgiAmir]

I hope you will manage to remember it.

I didn't like some of the songs like Polythene Pam but after hearing you it's one of the songs I love most in Abby Road

[peacejoytown]

Since I have this video, I can just watch it and transcribe myself in past.

[BelgiAmir]

Will you write it as one piece or separate it into 4 songs ?

[peacejoytown]

I think I will do them separately.

[androide81]

wow man, you play beautiful, I wish I will play like that some day, I'm learning for now.

What guitar is that?

cheers

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is Jose Ramirez 2E.

[anthony0895]

The coolest video on Youtube.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[anthony0895]

No, thank you for posting these on Youtube. Or should I say "arigato"? :)

[peacejoytown]

My pleasure. (^^)

[xronja]

Beatles in this way - its wunderful - thanx

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. The Beatles in one man band style.

[buzz60016]

You make it look so easy

A testiment to your ability.

You have gift,

Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.

Your other videos are also great.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Actually this is one of the most difficult arrangements in here, and I forgot how I played already.

[savoytruffle4]

you are really talented! What kind of guitar are you playing?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It's Jose Ramirez 2E.

[vinipage]

BRAVO!!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[Nicornal]

This video has less than four thousand viewings and Leona Lewis has over 77 million...

The world is broken. :(

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for the compliment. I am happy to have more than 3700 views on this one.

[sdgiis]

This is just amazing. I hope you do something with music as a career,even though it is clear you play for the love. You have an incredible talent!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I'm trying.

[cwli123]

Fantastic!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[sadrsch16]

Did you figure this out youself? It's beautiful!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Yes, I arranged them for solo guitar.

[ZakkoYo]

Versatile and stylish!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[RhoadsLivesOn]

Brilliant! Abbey Road has to be favourite album ever.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It sure is one of my favorite album.

[ickystickyfingers420]

damn man great job on both sun king and polythene pam your timing is dead on

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[Zeppehead]

That was one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. I would really like to learn that. Could you please send me the score if possible?

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I haven't written this out yet.

[Zeppehead]

Well if you do please send it to me.

[peacejoytown]

You will know by checking here.

[PrincePurple]

Fantastic job. Two of my favorite Beatle songs in here ("Sun King" and "Polythene Pam") and you really did a great job on them.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[bambamanofir]

Nice medley! 'Sun King' was always one of my favorite Beatles' song, I don't know why...

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. This medley arrangement is one of my favorite but I don't get too many chance to play at gigs since these songs are not well known to those non-core Beatles fans.

[notsafeforwork120]

This is fantastic! Really well done, great job.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[thisisCST]

love your stuff

and your from another country and thats sexy

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I don't think I understand the second line though.

[10m19l92o]

also, have you written this out yet? i have been listening to this since birth and even though the root chords are there to learn by ear, it would be neat to see what you are playing for some of these parts.

thanks, you've amazed my ears

[peacejoytown]

No, I haven't. I will someday.

[10m19l92o]

is this in regular tuning?

[peacejoytown]

Yes, it is.

[Rainsfallingup]

you should do you never give me your money and golden slumbers! that would be awesome to see how u did it!

[peacejoytown]

I will when I feel like doing.

[mccrabapple]

I was initially amazed by how tasteful your playing and arrangements are, totally free of ego... but I'm more amazed by the fact that you answer every one of your comments.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I just want to be fair to everyone.

[kalehua22]

Utsukushii ^_^

[peacejoytown]

Arigatou Gozaimasu m(_ _)m

[boredouttaourminds]

I must say, I am very appreciative of your videos. I've been learning the same type of style on guitar, and I can't believe your genius! Thank you for sharing your gift!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and you're welcome.

[AzBboy]

i cant believe my ears, your such a genious it blows my mind how you can arrange these songs to perfection and then play them flawlessly, i cant even thank you enough for posting vids like this .

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. These songs fit into six strings. I was surprised too. The limit only lies in your imagination.

[theseus2003]

hey Hiro, have u written a score for this medley?

greetz adrian

a+

[peacejoytown]

No, I haven't written this yet. Maybe I will do it for each songs in the medley.

[golfdom1987]

Wow, I love the laid-back groove on this version. Another brilliant rendition. Thanks for the post!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I like the phrase "laid-back".

[xXAznChocolateXx]

This is awesome! I know you receive many requests, but please please please write up a score for this medley if you get the chance! Wonderful playing as always!

[peacejoytown]

[turkamine]

Outstanding as always. Greta job

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[MUZIKII]

Masterful playing up and down the fingerboard.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. It is a busy tune.

[BillNeilan]

Greetings from Georgia--great job on the medley.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.

[BuddyBolden]

Wow!! When you mentioned another "sun" song was coming up, I hoped it would be "Sun King," but I didn't guess you would include these others, too. The whole thing is great!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Now I have to do "I'll Follow The Sun" to wrap up "Sun" series.

[BuddyBolden]

Don't forget "Good Day Sunshine"!

[peacejoytown]

It is there already. ✌

[Kasualhustler]

Just amazing!!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you!

[majiben2002]

またも素敵な演奏ありがとうございます！

[peacejoytown]

どういたしまして。m(_ _)m

[theseus2003]

Another fabolous performance from my favorite guitar player/ 5Stars 4 ya! cant wait to see you rocking in lemgo ^^

greetz Adrian

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for stars. See you in Lemgo!

[yaph1]

i'm speechless..all the same, keep it coming..*2 thumbs up*

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for your thumbs.

[leratluci]

wow very nice work, these songs go together well, it's always a pleasure to hear your work. thanks again for sharing.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you and you're welcome. Yes, they do.

[wooksclubu]

you are the one of great musicians in the world. =)

i always love your playing.

and i always respect you hiroshi.

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. (^^)/

[laihengtee]

Wow, I didn't have to wait long for your new 'Sun' song. As usual it is impressive and beautifully played.

I am another jealous guy too, I wish I can play like you. The consolation for me is I can always watch you play.

Cheers,

Will

[peacejoytown]

Hi Will. That's because I am so impatient. I always say to myself after I watch those master's video, "I am me, and he is he", and I try to learn something from them.

[Kasualhustler]

I wish to become like you one day!!

Very nice playing I'm so jealous!!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I have been a jealous guy for a long time and still is when I watch masters like Tommy Emmanuel.

[AnhKiaa]

i want to be ur student

[peacejoytown]

If I ever get to meat you, I will show what I have,

[JMDenver]

Very cool! I have trouble playing without lots of mistakes for 30 seconds and you did it for 6 and a half. That is a feat by itself...then add in that you came up with the whole arrangement. Truly impressive!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. Except for the solo part in "Polythene Pam", whole things are rather easy one. I've been playing "Mean Mr.Mustard" for almost six years.

[miopmiop]

hahaha u dont stop surprising me thanks for your music

[peacejoytown]

Thank you. I was surprised when this one came out smoothly about two weeks ago.

[fanoguitar]

Good work! You kept my interest for the whole 6:44!

[peacejoytown]

Thank you for taking your time so long.

[YoshisSushi]

that was so great!

i didnt know those songs can flow into each other!!! wow

[peacejoytown]

It is like that in the original "Abbey Road" album.

[knot4reel91]

yupp, the abbey road medley also golden slumbers, carry that weight, and the end

[peacejoytown]

I am glad that they made a short break in between these two medleys. Actually, "You Never Give Me Your Money" is the starting song for this first medley with crickets sound in between.
