"E" FFIX Bran Bal, the Village without Souls

[johnny123135]

i just spent like 2 hours figuring out that song and I'm gonna spent another couple hours memorizing it. your awesome!

[kickerofelves123]

I am quite impressed.

[pault0070]

ive gotta say i love every one of your final fantasy covers:D they bring back so many awsome memories thank you :) keep up the great playing aswell your a great guitarist

[liquidpyramid]

you're doing the world a great justice, sir. i'm so off and on with my fingerstyle guitar it's hard to stay at the level i would like but you always seem to inspire. thanks.

[galti111]

That's pretty nifty! Good work!

[keithbramble]

thanks lonlon. i learned your version of this great piece of music. its very relaxin to play this piece of music after a hard day of work and stress. thanks again lonlon. thanks also for the inspiration to keep playin!!

[damnshitdamn]

Wonderful! Nice interpreation of the best FF Song

[BloodyHoneyBunny]

after watching this it really pumps me up to learn how to play guitar =D

i'm 25 and i don't know if i'm too old to learn how to play guitar =(

[67086598]

@BloodyHoneyBunny

no such thing as too old for guitar

[lammaking333]

@BloodyHoneyBunny When your old and gray, your going to regret not even trying to learn it. Music is something people of any age can participate in. You might stink at first, but practice makes perfect.

[BloodyHoneyBunny]

@lammaking333

thnx man =D

[bjonse11]

what guitar is better to play with? nylon strings or steelstringed?

[lonlonjp]

@bjonse11 haha^^

it depends on the song you would like to play =)

As for this song, i prefer a nylon strings guitar because of its soft and mild tone :)

[smog849371]

i have to know a site to get your version of this tab!!!!

[Freya1350]

wah is it easy to learn?

[lonlonjp]

@Freya1350 Yes!

In my opinion, you can play it soon, if you wish it strongly enough and practice it accordingly :)

Please image the scene where you play your favorite song in front of someone special =)

Good luck!

[nimthirielhime]

Lonlon, I have question. Is your black guitar a steelstringed guitar?

[lonlonjp]

No, this black one, "Crews" is a nylon stringed guitar.

i have got two black guitars. The other one, "Ibanez" is a steelstringed guitar ^o^

[altteras]

Awesome

[AnfisaMops]

Could send me a gtp or another accords???

It's sounds really Great!!! well done!!!

[spesialkeita]

lonlonさん、うまいですねーやっぱり☆

[SageGeminiThe]

Your rendition of this song is haunting and beautiful. I love it!

[citizensnips007]

nuts... looks like i'm gonna have to go play some FFIX

[john9724811325]

what is that thing u have on 4rth fret to change the tune?? that black thing

[undertaker3134]

Its called a capo

Its pretty handy,just think the effort you would have to play this song without one lol

[john9724811325]

ty:) 1 mroe question how much is it?

[lonlonjp]

it's about $20 to $30 ^-^

[john9724811325]

ty awsom playing man!!!!

[jsteel120]

it's called a capo.

[iluvfinalfantasyx]

i play the original version of this song for my neice whenever she stays over, it always puts her to sleep:)

im have only heard a few guitar pieces, i usually only listen to piano because im a pianist, and the violin. i never knew the guitar could sound so lovely. you put me to shame. your playing is incredible

;)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your compliment ^-^

[Kaatism]

Sir, I seriously think that I (along with everyone else) might be in love with you! Incredible job!! :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video ^o^

[iPervy]

o-o *favorites*

[MasterFreespirit]

Wow... favorited.

[KupoForLife]

Kupo!

[Vanlandi]

Kupo!

[delmago1]

what is wrong wth the videom quality? i remember thi being more zoomed in, and its a bit fuzzy?

[armandorebolleda]

^-^

[massieko]

I'm really beginner when it comes to the guitar so you may call this an "EASY" level, to me, it's still pretty difficult:p you do awesome things! You have fantastic talents! Definitely subscribing to you!

[willyz125]

very nice I love it you are the one who inspired me to learn guitar ans I still learning because of you and all your videos on youtube.

thank you very much for all your work well done.

and keep going!! :)

[Daltrey1994]

i love the intro here!

[Mattbroad1994]

awesome, i wonder if you could do mognet central from ff9, that would be amazing on guitar

[guitarjew93]

Holy crap. Makes me wish I had a capo, but I haven't really seen a practical way I personally would use one until now. This is one of the most under appreciated songs in the whole game. It represents the general emptiness about Terra, but also the severe emotional distress Zidane is going through at this point. I love it.

At least to me. :P

[moogleboyviii]

I'm Back kupo!

Love listening to your Final Fantasy IX guitar. 2 thumbs up! :D kupo!

[lonlonjp]

kupo!! ^w^

[Daltrey1994]

kupo? lol

[reynoldswrap]

kupo means thanks on ffix

[Daltrey1994]

i just thought it was moogle language then that guy is going crazy!

[xellestar]

Heh yeah it does, it also means pretty much anything!!

Love moogles :)

[foxxrs]

No one truly knows the real meaning of "Kupo". I apologize in advance if I offend anyone, but it has similar qualities as "fuck". It can be used as a noun, verb, adjective, etc.

[FitoSaav]

Kupo sounds adorable though.

Hell I use it everyday at school XD

[Heliosas]

Correct Kupo

[LunaticInvasion]

Hi lonlon!

Thanks for your videos, they are great!

Could you make an arrangement of Find Your Way (FF VIII) ? That would be awesome!

Anyway, thanks again for your videos!

Keep making an impressive work!

[lonlonjp]

thanks for your suggestion ^^

[Jualtair]

Fantastic video!!

Ju

[lonlonjp]

i am proud of your comment ^0^

[Juancarctica]

you are the man!!! xD i love all kind of FF and you play the song very good... greetings from Colombia

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^-^

[demoflare]

woah, i haven't played ff9 in at least 3 years... and i recognized that song straight away. very nice job

5/5

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your kind comment ^-^

[GoldenAshe9]

Ah, lonlon.... your beautiful playing has stolen my heart once again...

Arigato!! ^-^

[lonlonjp]

dou-itashimashite!!

you are always welcome here ^-^

[Tanukii]

-hugs you- This is excellently well done.

[darkyle99]

Love it!! auto 5* ^-^

[Vespertine]

i just finished learning this piece on guitar today although my form is not as good as yours. i do get a warm tone though so that's good. it's a great arrangement, good job!

[TRTidus]

こんにちわ

Great Job lonlon-san. You never cease to amaze us all.

I've asked a favor on your channel, I was hoping that you could reply to it.

ありがと

-Tidus-

[lolxd666]

Bravo! once again 5/5

[rtsrurg]

I bet millions have already told you this but you should expand, because i know you'll be a big international star if you do

Supporting you all the way bro keep on doing what you're doing

[FriggusX]

Nice song, great video! carry on :)

[Daltrey1994]

this is terra same thing

[digitised]

They go together obviously but they are very different pieces in terms of mood.

Kind of like how the two main FF4 battle themes share similar qualities but technically blend.

[tommyk77]

Wow, Lon. Your tone is really superb in this one! Not sure what it is, the overall dynamics are perfect :-)

[lordbob89]

lolonjp i simple love your work, another masterpiece from my favorite game :D

[Fujikaya]

Once more you play it perfectly.

Anyway you should play Terra from FFVI

[svfunk]

I'm never gonna stop watching your videos lonlon, great!

[Jbamski]

same her, lonlonjp is the best, no questions asked about it, he is a true master. :D

[K3schmdt]

Excellento! i don't know if that's an actual word, but I loved this vid! thanks a lot.

[JaremasteR]

Really awesome job again lon, wicked arrangement ! Just like the real thing ! * Nostalgia strike * poof

wonderfull, keep on going lon !

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much, my friend ^-^

you are so kind =D

[JaremasteR]

its just honest complimenting :P but thanks anyways mate :)

[DiaryofaMadman1982]

Hey lonlonjp can you do a guitar cover of the song "City of Rabanastre from FFXII? I personally didn't like the OST very much, but there were few songs that were very good and that was one. Dunno if you can do it on a guitar though because its very "Symphonic" Sounding. Well i trust you'll find away. Please...

[lonlonjp]

i have just listened to your suggested song ^-^

it is an interesting song indeed =)

[boyofdestiny1123]

GREAT! Try Jecht's theme, it's a little simple, but I'm sure that it'd sound great coming from you! :)

[lonlonjp]

i am now arranging another ffix song :)

it's pretty difficult.. it may take some more days :)

[FrioneeeL]

one of my favourites songs of all the time

it's very nostalgic for me.

can you do a great favour to me? Can you send me the tab pleasssse?

If not... no problem ^^U

PD: Sorry about my bad english!

[JaremasteR]

lonlonjp doesnt write tabs down, see " "M" FFVII Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony " from his videos for a further reason, if i remember right, hes brains blew up or something :D

[TRTidus]

FrioneeeL

I know that he doesn't give out tabs. Two reasons (and he acctually says so on his channel):

1. He has great respect for the original composers.

2. He doesn't know how to read/write tabs.

-Tidus-

[xellestar]

Exactly, it's one thing to arrange by ear and do credit to your inspiration and heroes by arranging and playing their music but another to copy it down for others.

[Garlant29]

5/5 Wonderful song

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your high rating ^-^

[Doomvoid]

Sounds good to me^^ Thanks for the video, Lon!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks my friend =)

[saugaraguas]

Congratulation and thank you for this beautiful song

[ForbiddingDurian]

sooooooooo beautiful...

[agueloinc]

I love this song... it's one of my favorites in FFIX. So sweet and sad, just like "Terra" and "The Place I'll Return to Someday"

[KHMatt154]

Great job lonlon, I really appreciate u taking my request, =)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much for your support ^-^

This is a video respose to your kind suggestion, KHMatt154 =)

[qazwsxasdedc]

Asombroso!

Nice playing

A while ago i arranged the song a bit alike this arrangement.

Yet, i can't play it xD

Love to listen to it, i would like an MP3 ._.

[Nifuruc]

it's a full time job to rate all your videos 5/5 :D

another brilliant song ^^ love it!

[lvl70shampally]

amazing! **claps**

[Dan1loBr]

I remember I played FF9 when I was around 12, didn't understand as much because of English, and because I think I passed a lot of the dialogues, because I didn't fully understood them.

I re-played ff9 when I was 15, gotta say it's a pretty sad song in all that context

This song is sad, yet nostalgic ^^

[EroSenseiPT]

Another perfect play ^^

[moonlightdusk5]

Sweet! ^-^

Thanks for posting this :P

[Kerri75]

[AliaFaton]

You should play some stuff from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, it has some wonderful acoustic songs.

[DfKimera]

It brings me both peace and loneliness... Beautiful and emotionally strong song, gracefully played! Thanks, lonlon!

[BCrav1024]

Hauntingly beautiful! Just after you put up "Terra" I was hoping you would eventually do Bran Bal (this piece), and lo' and behold you did it for sure!! Thank you so much, lonlon!! Your playing is such an inspiration to me, as a fellow guitar player and a Final Fantasy fan!
