"E" FFVIII Breezy

[michielhaisma]

I really like this song!

[AiValentine]

Wow! Another amazing lonlonjp video! I too play this one, but I never thought of putting in the harmonics and always played up on the 15th fret - Am definitely going to try that!

Fantastic, thank you ^_^ PLEASE do some chrono cross covers!!!!!!

[lonlonjp]

@AiValentine

I have done many CC songs^^ Please check them out, my friend :)

Thanks for your support =D

[SamNBlitz]

SO MUCH NOSTALGIA. It's beautiful, thanks for uploading ^.^

[Treflex]

:) do you have written arrangements for all the FF stuff you play? it's soooo beautiful, i wanna learn these on guitar x)

[jamespat10]

Lonlon, I always enjoy listening to your Final Fantasy VIII arrangements. You have enormous amounts of skill.

[lonlonjp]

@jamespat10 haha^^

Actually, I do not have got much skills, but I think I really enjoyed playing such a beautiful song on my guitar =D

[CristianoLionHeart]

Heey lonlon... Found your channel yesterday... and I'm amazed with your skill...

Is it hard for you to show us a place where we could find the Tab for these Final Fantasy songs you play?

thanks for playing so well... it gives me hope to continue trying!

[AudayG89]

Plz don't add any lol tweeks to the song its fine the way it is

[Nick1253]

Hey, I absolutely love this piece; especially when you play it!

Would it be too much to ask if you could redo it with your more recent recording equipment? When you get the time, of course :)

Thank you, greetings from USA.

[hannaLOVE09]

simply beautiful :)

[MightyMartel]

This is probably my favorite version of this song and thank you for helping me understand harmonix. I didn't even know of this technique until now. It just opened up a lot of new things for me to practice and I can finally achieve that sound when I play this song.

[bms71488]

Truly I could listen for hours and still feel the same sense of peace. Thanks for the video. Your fingers are magic.

[Icaro5959]

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­CE!!!

[matthemod]

I think it's both beautiful and sad that even though I try as hard as I can, I can't seem to play this piece as easily as you make it sound.

[migalpigal]

ah ah 44444 views nice xD

[Jackisalunatic]

i can now play this with no problems. thanks so much! being able to play child hood memory's rocks.

[Conspirator1337]

Excuse me, my good man. Could I please have the tablature to your beautiful arrangement?

[deliria757]

yo you should really see about gettin in contact with square enix, send them a video of you playing these songs and ask if there was a way you could record somethin for them on their next final fantasy your pretty fuckin good man, i been playin for 8 years and you just inspired tme to start playin final fantasy tunes

[notfree25]

I read that Lonlonjp doesnt release tabs coz the stuff he plays is copyrighted.

Thats ok, we get that. You'r still awesome.

BTW:Try, gametabsDOTnet/forum/topic/640­5

[mangagal111]

Can i get tabs~~! This is soo awesome~~!

[notfree25]

can we have the tab for costa del sol too? pleaseee

Im a newbie at guitar btw

[notfree25]

Oh wow, i thought there was two guitar playing when i heard the original. lol.

Can we have the tabs for this?

[bufosp]

lol, i thought this is the usual Breezy on FF8. seems u put improvisation in it. nice tho! ^^

[thedtnewt]

what level is this music from?

[Zellfreak]

Is there any chance you could email me the tabs for the fill you added at 0:35-39

[Zellfreak]

wait self correction! is it just going down the scale in a tripplet pattern all down the e string?

[MagianMan]

Can you post a link to the tabs you used please. I can play most of it, but I cant see the fingerings in someparts.

[onion77478]

good acoustics . spot on .

[hotman718]

...

[hotman718]

I like you style of playing guitar. Very nice cover and you added a few of your own licks which was great. Watch mines.

[BeastingYouForever]

Hey lonlon, can you help me? I don't know what harmonix are... Can you please explain how to do them, it probably is simple. :)

[lonlonjp]

@BeastingYouForever haha^^

i will explain it for you =D

In this video, i played 7th fret natural harmonix :)

In order to play it, you should place your left finger lightly on the string in the places just above 7th fret. It is important not to press the string down. Then stroke the string by your right finger and remove your left finger from the string very quickly... all at the same time (^-^)/

[BeastingYouForever]

@lonlonjp Hmm, I'm trying it out right now and I'm getting the result from this video. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You are the master :)

[skyzo1986]

@lonlonjp hi you are my favorite guitarist and i have a special request. i would like to hear the ffVIII intro opera on a guitar. If you already uploaded it can you tell me the title because I can't find it. you are not forced to do it but if u have time to do it thx and thx for uploading all those great song.

[salsa066]

Lonlonjp i have a question, im a beginning guitar player, i know the basic stuff and im a Final Fantasy fan, is it doable for me to learn this song? how hard is it actually?

Thanks!

[lonlonjp]

@salsa066 haha^^

i think it is pretty easy to start with this song =)

All you have to do is keep on practcing everyday... not for a long time... short time would be fine... but still everyday is important.

Please do not play one song only. You had better practice another easy song together so that you can change your mode xD

[SelphieTilmitt17]

Still my favorite song in the Final Fantasy series; unlike so many other songs, this one is so simplistic yet so smooth and pretty, making it super easy to listen to for hours without realizing it was on repeat.

[khopewilson]

im pretty sure you are actually Nobuo Uematsu

[eoinluvsgrunge]

You're my favourite one youtube ^^ I could listen to your covers all day my friend. Gaia bless you

[Josqpiercy]

This is one of my all time favorite pieces. You truly can feel the wind from Japan. ;o

[Satanismia]

Greetings from Finland ^^ You rule

[dennisoh1983]

this is like the only ff tune i can play..

[YNear]

Funny ! I was vaguely remembering this song from the last time I played FFVIII, and almost all tunes I composed were inspired by this (unconsciously for the main part).

Now with this video I'll finally be able to play it !

[hupperAlex]

just like the original version)) 5\5

[wdraizen11]

Where did you get the music sheet please send me a link :d

[lsecanon1]

i like the additions u got in there, nice

[noutathewolf]

Feels like I'm in a world where nothing bad will ever happen to me.

[LostBlossom]

What a soothing piece of music. Greetings from Finland! =)

[bladecerco]

thank you for your beautiful acoustic rendition of one of my favorite FF songs. Off to do my own =D !

[AceOfSpadesX]

this song makes me feel a type of way that i can't describe

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your listening to my guitar ^o^

[ArkcainaDelmar]

There are jusy no words that I can say that can accurately tell how this music brightens my day. I've seen all your vid's man, damn good stuff. I play guitar myself, (Pretender Level), If you could post your tabs that would just be awesome.

[89Machoman89]

One of my favourite musics from FFVIII....so relaxing!

[KRocK198901]

This is so good, I'm gonna post my own :)

[Dark3morize]

wel wel jus lyk always ur great..

mayb sumday u might b a legend..may not be in the world cox there are lack of classical music lovers these days. but atleast u will be a legend on YOUTUBE for sure...

tc man'

XD

[smithcm14]

quite Easy....to YOU!!!

[toansj]

lolol it is easy compare to other song...kinda like playing While San'doria Sleep by Kabukibear

[StrikerShot21]

Nah, it really is a very easy song. It was the first song I learned on guitar. Those who are predisposed to only using a pick may find the transition difficult, but that's more of a style issue. The song itself is pretty simple.

[iloveasiangirls]

I forget; does this play during the Balamb docks part of the game?

Either way, I love it :D

Join my band please?

lol

[Phlegasus]

Think its just the general music for balamb Town.

[ichigin1512]

thanks to this video i finished playing breezy...good reference..but didn't follow some part you played here.. ^^

[toimisto]

its finnish not finlandia :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your advice ^^

i amended it accordingly :)

[JonathanSilveira1978]

Can you come over to my house and play it while I sleep?

[Mushamashi987654]

@JonathanSilveira1978 too bad i can't favorite comments.

[JohnDupas]

beautifully played! one of the best players on you tube

[Aemeath2501]

Oh wow, I've just been trying to learn this song for the last 4 months (how long I've been playing the acoustic guitar for) and I can't do the harmonics, so I gave up and just played that part on a higher octave.

When I play the song and when you play the song... It's like comparing a sand castle to a fortress xD

[Aneusingr]

After listening to your videos I find myself sitting with my mouth wide open. Amazing!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video =)

[MockEmpire]

thank you

[lonlonjp]

my pleasure :)

[ichigin1512]

damn..ur good..love your playing..learning this song..anyways another 5 star... :DD

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your comment ^-^

[FullMetalRX]

im trying to learn this. loved it. nice job.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to my Breezy =D

[XLostinhereyesX]

ehm... how long do you keep your nails? >_>'

[AndiZemenis]

beautiful man

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^^

[delmago1]

does the guitar come with an amp?

[lonlonjp]

Not at all^^

As you can see =)

[delmago1]

do you have an amp for any of the songs you play?

[lonlonjp]

i have got an amp^^

but in this video, i did not use it at all =)

it depends on the song itself :)

[ThirdEsquire182]

what guitar is this?

[lonlonjp]

it's Morris W-40, 1975 ^-^

i am thinking to sell it to anyone who want it =) it has got deep and crisp sound =D

[ThirdEsquire182]

how much?>

[lonlonjp]

$400 plus shipping, export expence, tax and so on. Therefore i do not recommend it if you do not live in Japan or have got any plan to come here soon.

[ThirdEsquire182]

too bad i am in the US

[delmago1]

me! me!!!!! ill buy it!

[1010bristi]

watching u play the guitar so nicely has inspired me to play the guitar :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video and your comment ^^

[Shinamura]

you've definately inspired me to pick up my classical and learn this one!

[lonlonjp]

This song is rather easy, please enjoy playing ^^

[RaineTemplar]

This is absolutely beautiful! Keep it up :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening and your comment ^0^

[furytanka]

you're so good playing this and try to learn breezy but i don't find a valid tab, where do you find yours please ? (sorry for my bad english i'm french ^^)

[vonchrono]

Soda Sheet Music, the Search-based Open Directory of Asian Music, has the official Final Fantasy tab book for download, in both piano and guitar. lonlon bases his version off those tabs.

[nugbutt]

lonlon, your music always seems to cheer me up when I'm depressed or sad. and not many other things can do that so thank you

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your nice comment ^0^

[Tyndan]

I just went through all of your videos hoping you did this one and here it is.

Thank goodness.

[lonlonjp]

My pleasure =D

[I3ohe]

Ok, i finally decide the song of your uploads that im gonna try to cover lonlonsama :3

Wish me luck xD

[AndrewCedricThe2nd]

have you tried succession of witches?

[TempusTransit]

Succession of Witches might be one of those songs that can't be delivered with justice using a single instrument, like Timber Owls. Though I'd fall in love if he really did cook some improvisational, sped-up and totally re-rendered versions of the songs. He might just require a double fretboard acoustic. Heh. No one would blame him for utilizing a couple backing tracks. That might just not be his style, though. He'd also need an echo on Timber Owls...

[fudofaito]

oh, i really love this piece of music. and you make it sound brilliant on guitar :)

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening ^-^

[Flutlicht23]

sounds great! 5*

[xellestar]

Perfect little guitar piece, good job.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching this video ^-^

[SeribialX]

nice and relaxing lonlon sensei, I reminds me of the days when I was playing FFVIII lol ^_^

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your comment, my friend ^-^

[rarefantasyhero]

Very nice, keep it up

faves it.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your encouragement =)

[emotionless17]

FF8 has the best songs in the whole series if you ask me. I really prefer FF8's pieces.

[T0MRE]

I totally agree : )

[syxx7wun]

i comepletely agree. the game itself also wasnt that bad as some make it out to be.

[Hardstylen00b]

UH-HUH !! right on man !

[razo062000]

Ahh man, I love this song. Thanks for playing it for us =]

[ProjectBlueBeam]

nice!

[TempusTransit]

One hell of a unique version of the original! I can't criticize, but only send you sympathy and compassion for recognizing that the simplicity of the tablature for this song demanded a (very constructive and inspiring) rendition. However, from an emotional viewpoint, this tune was always characterized by a very special slow, liquid, tranquilizing, romantic medley. This version might be lent a drum kit to befit its rhythm. Just about 5% more staccato than as written.

[lonlonjp]

well... thanks listening in any way =)

This video was meant to be in response to a Finlandia boy who played the same song^^

it's not more or less than that =)

cheers

lon

[murasuX]

Very soft and relaxing^^once again nice play lonlonjp sensei

[lonlonjp]

Thanks very much murasuX ^-^

you are so kind =)

[T0MRE]

I'm currently writing up electronics coursework for tomorow, and I can't tell you how soothing your guitar video's (especially this one!) are whilst working! Thank you!

[lonlonjp]

i really appreciate your remark ^-^

best wishes

lonlonjp

[qazwsxasdedc]

I think its an easier version i play too, i kinda changed some of it myself

[AnotherSchmoe]

[lonlonjp]

Please see some of the first comment on this video... it had got only a few views :)

[souchirosagara]

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your comment^^

[xxwhispers]

I just started playing FFVIII and this has to be one of my favorite songs. It's very relaxing and I'm glad you posted a video of you playing! :D

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

[HaGa11aZ]

yea, this was one of the very first songs I've ever learned on the guitar, and even today, after about 8 years of playing and composing, it's still one of my favorite songs to play.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your fine remark^^

[souchirosagara]

this is a beutyfull song...im learning it...

thanks for the good memories...

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening and your nice comment^^

[ShawnGlory]

[lonlonjp]

Currently i have got 6 guitars^^

i love them all :)

i would like to have some more but cannot afford to...

Please lend me a guitar, anyone? ... Yamaha, Morris, Martin, Taylor and so on XD

[guachuguachu]

I Played that song in my video too =)

[lonlonjp]

i have just listened to your Breezy^^

it seems that Breezy is an universal language among the guitarist world =)

[Rickastly]

Huge.

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening^^

[dms834]

is it on standard tuning?

[lonlonjp]

Yes, it is^^

This is the easiest song to play within FF music =D

[icegoddesslexra]

:D I miss Japan, I was born there and we left when I was an early age, so sadly I don't remember much

[lonlonjp]

wow! you can return here anytime^^

the globe is so small... compared with our mind, you know =D

[dms834]

all of the FF8 and other final fantasy songs and music are so light that gives me a great pleasant feeling ^_^ it so good to hear it and be played by you ^_^

[lonlonjp]

Thanks listening to this video^^

i really appreciate your kind remark =D

[reynoldswrap]

wow amazing! so peaceful...man i'd love to hear this in the morning. final fantasy has some of the most beautiful calming tunes.

[lonlonjp]

yes, i agree with you^^

[breexy]

This was the first song I learned/am learning to play on the guitar.

I like how you add your own style to the music, way awesome!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks posting your nice comment^^

[superfeo2]

nice! the best breezy on my ears!!!!

[lonlonjp]

Thanks for your comment^^

[altair1913]

Nicely played. I liked the parts you added in. I was wondering if you played the ff games since you play so much of the music.

[lonlonjp]

haha... good question^^

i played from 1 to 7 games, in real time.

i mean, as soon as each of them was on sale.

[michi2002k2]

oh, which of them u liked most? =)

my favorite is ff7, because of the very intense story line. just one of the best stories in any videogames.

[dvdyu16]

lonlonjp! i hope u can reply on my comment..can u teach or put the tabs in the comments? i would really appreciate it if you will! ^__^ looking forward to it!! you rock!

[lonlonjp]

This is basically is not my arrangement. it is from FF Guitar Solo Collection. i just added some notes and measures for my instant pleasure. i think you can buy the book at a music shop or find "How to play Breezy" on YouTube.

[notoncemoreagain]

Its by Nobuo Uematsu

[lonlonjp]

yes, thanks. i will add your advice on "More info"

[Robopicnic]

Great played... the best cover version of this song was played by you hehe, congratulations :P

[lonlonjp]

Thanks so much for your nice comment =D

[HardSkaPunk]

great piece, lacks a bit of polishing tho

[lonlonjp]

hahaha... indeed. As i played it instantly, after i had watched a Finland boy' video on YouTube.

[Alacress]

Another amazing arrangement :). Final Fantasy VIII had a really great sounktrack as well.

Have you considered arranging a version of the "Balamb Garden" theme in Final Fantasy VIII? With your style, I'm sure it would sound really beautiful ^_^.

[lonlonjp]

I have arranged and recorded your requested song, according to your advice. Please watch it and post your comment or rating if you wish.

cheers

lon

[Alacress]

Done and done :)

Thanks again so much for covering that song, it was truly amazing! Also, your new guitar sounds fantastic as well ^^.

Can't wait to hear more of your work :)!

[PaniPoniClipz]

^^ I like this song

Still learning to play, but I can't nail down the quick 232

[PaniPoniClipz]

Oh, but very awesome job :P

[lonlonjp]

Thanks watching my video^^

i played this song so freely...

cheers

lon

[djfrost313]
