This is a long shot as it's not your usual thing, but could you cover 'Go the distance' from Roger Barr on the Hercules sound track :P It's just a long shot as I know it isn't your usual style
nice cover lonlonjp, beautiful!, i might play ff9 again since PSN i down! you should play ff8,ff9 and ff10 mate they are the best along with 7 in my opinion
Sometimes it's just about being brave enough to carry on, and I think that lonlon's playing carries that message. Japan will endure and be stronger for it, and the proof is in the brave people.
Please keep playing music, lonlon. It helps people be brave.
Nice performance Sir lonlonjp.............proud of you and your feelings about videogames.....it is so nostalgic.......good times i lived with this game. Greetings from colombia. I'm happy because you exist ^_^
you my friend are awesome. this piece has a lot of value for me for that was one of my favorite places to visit in IX Thanks for playing it. Hope things improve i sent some money to the redcross and are asking my friends to.
... the best and talented musicians on youtube only get a few thousand views while others who'r famous for being rich get 5 million views... what a shame *.*
and with a touching poem, my heart goes out to those in japan, I hope the crisis in Japan ends soon.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I love the handmade guitars you own, they seem so... new and flashy, even though they are 40-50 years old. They seem ageless :)
how bout sending me 1 unused guitar. I can't seem to find a good guitar here in the phil... They're selling ibanez but from your videos.. ur rarely using it so i concluded that maybe it's not worth it.
@frostmourne240 Use your own ears. :) I have a $200 Ibanez that I think sounds better than many more expensive ones. I wouldn't get caught up in the 'vintage' and 'premium woods' trap unless you just have the money to burn. If it's comfortable to play, has good intonation, and a nice timbre, you've got a good instrument whether you paid $10 or $10,000.
Oh, and thanks for uploading this lonlon, I've looking for the tabs or tutorial videos but none of em played the song correctly (just play one string following the main melody) or fully (just play halfway)
Dear lonlonjp, I LOVE YOU! (im not homo or anything), your playings of FF IX songs brings back SOOOOOOOOOOO many memories from my childhood that it brings tears to my eyes, i pratically grew up playing FF IX, i play acoustic guitar too, and ure my inspiration to learn more and more everyday, keep up with ur excellent work!! :)
only out one dayand it being such a beautiful song its already got 545 views and 250likes (loves) youre songs are great and i envy your skills with playing and strength to keep playing during this tradgedy...keep playing and stay strong
Incredible piece, lonlonjp. It is truly admirable how you continue delighting us with your work, in spite of the difficulties your people now face. May your music inspire strength, compassion and unity amongst you and yours, and aid you in such time of need.
Hi, I just want to start by saying you are an AWESOME guitarist and that I have now started thanks to you. I own a cheap $80 dreadnought acoustic guitar and I wish to branch out into classical guitars. Classical guitars because it's difficult to play fingerstyle on an acoustic and I love the way they sound! Whats a good $200 or less classical guitar I can start with? There are many choices at guitar center like Yamaha and Cordoba but i don't know what to go with O_O. Thanks in advance sir!
I swear, listening to this is just as good as turning on my PS2 and popping FF9 in.
Daguerro is one of my most favorite FF tracks, so naturally I'm highly critical of anyone who'd want to replicate it. I'm happy to say you captured the mood of the secret library beautifully. Consider this faved.
I can't believe you only have just over 30,000 subs. It does your talent no credit. :(
I love how baroque your arrangements feel, with the two and sometimes three voices and the cleanness of the notes. It sounds like a harpsichord or a lute, but gentler and sweeter. <3
@MBMBC Yes you can. Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham plays with his fingertips, not his nails. His reasoning was that he always broke a nail. Check out Big Love by Lindsey.
@MBMBC I only dabbled, but from what I recall, playing with the fingertips sounds distinctly different from playing with nails. Not bad; just different, so I guess the answer to that question is "as long as you like the sound that fingertips get you." Alternatively, you can do what Korean guitarist Sungha Jung does and wear finger picks. IIRC, he wears picks from aLaska Pik
WELL DONE!!!!!
