Sukiyaki (Fingerstyle Guitar)

[Hikikomori013]

Ue wo Muite is one of my favorite songs. Thank you for this beautiful version.

[CaveCrawler]

Great play!!!

[peacejoytown]

@CaveCrawler Thank you!

[TheJabassauro]

perfeito meu amigo, bela execução...parabéns.....

[peacejoytown]

@TheJabassauro Obrigado.

[maniau88]

Que hermosa interpretación, felicitaciones, bravo... Suki Yaki, te felicito desde México D.F.

[peacejoytown]

@maniau88 Gracias.

[holvenstot1]

Thank you for creating a bright moment in my day. One of the great things about YouTube is that as you bounce you get to "discover" new and amazing talent that otherwise you would never be exposed to. I have come to consider Tommy Emmanuel to be the yardstick by which I measure finger style guitar players. I hope you are not offended by the comparison but your version of this song is every bit as good, if not better than his. Once again, thanks for the smile.

[peacejoytown]

@holvenstot1 Thank you. I admire Tommy for his great skill and warm mind. Although my fingers don't move as fast as his, they can still dance slowly once I am in.

[pphingg2]

awsome!

[peacejoytown]

@pphingg2 Thank you!

[tetris11boy]

you've really done this song a lot of justice; this is by far one of the best incarnations I've heard of sakomoto's truly amazing song

[peacejoytown]

@tetris11boy Thank you. This one is most appreciated when I play at homes for aged.

[ReallyImWorking]

Excellent! Your own arrangement? It's quite different than Tommy Emmanuel's. Really impressive!

[peacejoytown]

@ReallyImWorking Thank you! Yes, it is my own arrangement.

[Djouu63]

What a strange guitar you have! I really like it ! you really are a good guitarist, I envy you...

[peacejoytown]

@Djouu63 Thank you! It looks strange but it is very handy one.

[tonedevil]

Mr. PeaceJoyTown

You are a very fine guitarist and I enjoyed your version of Sukiyaki.

[peacejoytown]

@tonedevil Thank you. Good to hear that you enjoyed.

[kevinikolass]

[lobkov1958]

@peacejoytown ああ！それは素晴らしいことだ！



[peacejoytown]

@lobkov1958 Thank you!

[jularbosweden]

Very nice version of this beautiful song! I'm trying Sukiyaki with a Chet Atkins style picking, and I feel inspired by your version! Maybe I borrow one or two of your licks. Would you mind? I play it in C (same fingers as you, although not with a capo).

Thanks //Thomas

[peacejoytown]

@jularbosweden Thank you. The only reason I use capo is that stretch in the chorus part is easier with it.

[popsmf]

good style. Than you.

[peacejoytown]

@popsmf Thank you and you're welcome.

[12ut5]

nice. interesting guitar.  peace.

[peacejoytown]

@12ut5 Thank you.

[petenesss]

Thumb up! I like your arrangement of this song and the technical detail you have.

To be honest i haven't seen this type of guitar yet. The sound reminds me of Led Zeppelin but as you may know Jimmy Page used to play Martin D28.

So please tell me do you use any sound modul?

Thanks

[peacejoytown]

@petenesss Thank you. I think I didn't use anything other than the guitar and MacBook for this video. The guitar is directly connected to MacBook. I used some sound effects that came with iMovie.

[hitube88]

truly awesome, And thanks for putting the tab in the supporters area.

[peacejoytown]

@hitube88 Thank you。It is my pleasure.

Funny how that works

[peacejoytown]

@4apples It is probably me because many people yawn when they are with me even without guitar. I sometime fall asleep while I am playing. (^^)

[OLDNED]

Very beautiful. Thank you for this.

[peacejoytown]

@OLDNED Thank you. It is my pleasure.

[5caudillos]

I worked next to Chet's office in Nashville, and played in Nashville for 15 years. This would've brought a smile to Chet's face. Maybe make him light up a smelly cigar!

[peacejoytown]

How wonderful to be working next to his office. I wish I could smoke a cigar with him.

[NAZZonemanband]

Wow...

[peacejoytown]

Thank you.
