"M" FFX To Zanarkand

[orolote]

Just AMAZING!

[venomousstring]

Liked before the video even started

No regrets.

[PlayaAlbi]

Such a masterpiece! I just started to play guitar yesterday, and I already can handle the very EASY way of this song. I was just curious how long need an expert like u to learn to play a song he wants like this? Some days? A week? Months? 

[kubinskij1]

AWWW BEAUTIFUL

[Shisaki13]

2:29 so epic



[i305sy8615]

please cover the Final Fantasy I main theme/Opening theme :)

[dwightpaul25]

Your video is a favorite on Norway

[raineisonfire]

Truly inspiring...

[mameng666]

@sergioperalta97 2 years? i really don't mean anything by saying this, but 2 years is nothing..

[j3rRyYaNg]

you should try a guitar cover on kingdom heart's "dearly beloved". it will be a thrilling song. with your talent i believe u can do it.

[kevin11au]

Thank you for this song. I listen to it often when I'm feeling down, and it really helps bring me back up to my feet :)

[TKTRiseAgainst]

To zanarkand is the most beautiful song to grace the universe. And Nobuo Uematsu the most beautifully talented person to grace the universe. My life would be incomplete without his music. Especially this song. It affects me on such a deep emotional level I can't even explain it. Music is the one truly amazing thing in the world.

[mattforizle]

please do via purifico piano collections version !!!!!! i love someday the dream will end and you did such a good job on that one !

[wisaeman]

I like your style, congrats guy, only a few born with innate talent to music.

[mrliamthecool]

finally! its great to see someone putting emotion into this song, so many people cover this song but never really get in to it yknow? Part of what makes your version so great is that you seem to be really passionate about it. :)

[Kalhasar]

Have you ever played all these songs you play ? =D

[mameng666]

how does it feel to be able to play this beautiful sonbg?

[lonlonjp]

@mameng666

It means a lot... really.

That's why I uploaded two different videos of this song on YouTube... and more to come?!

Actually I am an ordinary office worker and no one recognize me here in Tokyo but I can walk with pride deeply in my heart :)

[Kirillcankicker]

@lonlonjp

lol lonlon, don't worry. If I were to see you walking down the street, I would react just as if Led Zeplin was strolling by. To most of us viewers, you are a superstar. Thanks for the post!

[mameng666]

@lonlonjp well at least you know people in youtube will recognize you like a rock star, lol.. i can't help asking that question every time i witnessed some great musician playing a beautiful song.. i'm a guitarist myself, but the kind of song that i'm playing is far from what people would call 'beautiful', even though i may not agree :)

anyway thank you for the video, you are awesome..!!

[kismelin]

@lonlonjp sir, may i have the tabs?let me share your pride :)

[lonlonjp]

[vitorheiran]

Man...this song is so sad. Really awesome man!

[HaZeEurope91]

This is really good man! how long have you played the guitar ? :) im guessing 20 years haha!

[Dudieronix101]

WOAH EPIC!

[lokiblackaria]

I've tried to learn this song several times, got it down bare bones... but not nearly as beautiful as this.

[Fridgewizard]

Seymour seems to have made 19 youtube accounts...

[Bugside]

Well done sir, you just played a two handed piano song with a guitar and it sounds the same (or better), congratulations!

[yoshimistu9]

this is so beautiful...

[SDMFbroly]

LONLONJP IS EPICLY AWESOME <<< TYPE THAT INTO FACEBOOK AND JOIN

[sur2zzz]

hey lon, I really want to meet you if possible, lol, wanna learn some guitar from you XD...sharp as always my friend...

[NicHuang]

i learning this piece right now.. you are really inspiring me

keep a good work :)

[RiKaSNHAUA]

everytime i hear this cover i cry of hapiness ;')

[thebitchishungry]

you're such an inspiration! (:

[emilyenergiz]

This is awesome! Never stop playing alright?

[Alpaydm]

Chills for three minutes

[broitshursty]

@harry007nguyen Yeahh dude, pretty much what Guessde said. The thickest sting, the E string, needs to be tuned down just a little, so that when you strum the E (which is now in Drop D) and the A string, it has a clean buzzing sound almost. Idk, easier to explain in person I guess, lol.

[harry007nguyen]

how come most of ur songs are drop d? i dont know how to tune the guitar so its super difficult for me to learn ur songs.... kutso!

[Guessde]

@harry007nguyen

i dont know how to say it in english so i make i try, you have to, the six string have is in E so you drop to D, to make this you have to get back one tune, put your finger in the seventh fret in the E string and make the sound is the same like the A string.

Sorry but my english is not good i hope that it helps to you

[JinzaiNokeo]

この歌和本等気持ちですね！



[Kh4yl]

18 people who have viewed this video are complete morons

[demonfa]

OMG THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES! AND YOU MASTERED IT!

[Adritakaxo]

I´m so in love with you right now.

[daved123]

Amazing man just amazing!

[chooixianloong]

Dude you are a pro in guitar@_@which reminds me i gotta get back to playing this game i will not give up on that chapter

[RandStrife]

saw he was married**

[RandStrife]

I wonder how many girls were broken hearted when they say he was married? (points at wedding ring)

On another note... YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[cody666ification]

amazing just simply amazing

[Ryugan47]

I just got a nostalgia boner.

[rondoggish]

sob* :{

[burzum100]

sounds so good on a classic acoutic!!

[FrogMast3r]

hey lon.. how do u remember all the tabs for all ur masterpieces?? i mean how is it even possible? does it sometimes confuse u on what u were playing and what comes after what?? u know.. do u stil remember all the tabs u learned and made on ur own from the past videos~?

[lonlonjp]

@FrogMast3r haha^^

i always thought that a proffesional guitarist could remember every song that he/she could play :)

i was just wrong :D

[JaCkMiChEaLs0n]

@FrogMast3r how do you not remember. you just learn it and it sticks with you.

what i dont get is how piano players can read a sheet music theyve never seen before and just play like its nothing

[FuzzyChubbyCheeks]

You must be crazy good at Guitar Hero. ;)

Anyways, you're really good! Keep up the good work!

[gamezmad27]

@FuzzyChubbyCheeks I play guitar really well but im bollocks at guitar hero guitar hero is for people who cant play guitar but want to feel as if they can

[BagelsOnTheGo]

@gamezmad27 Funny, I seem to enjoy both playing the guitar and playing Rock Band (They're the exact same thing, RB and GH, >.>). I actually gained interest for playing the guitar from Rock Band, and after getting really good at it, I bought an Ovation and I am learning to play it, and I'm progressing quite fast.

So yeah, I'm learning to play the guitar because of Rock Band. Your argument is invalid, I can play guitar and still enjoy Rock Band.

[pkai]

Sounds so sweet and romantic...i like it better than the piano version...you're really good :)

[DeCoDeR176]

This song is so beautifull *.*

It brings back memories. Awesome job man! :D

[rcluckyful]

omg pro

[MALykna]

I don´t wanna cry, i don´t wana cry...

SNIFF!!! *O* Beautiful, man, congratulations!

[rebirthoftheflesh]

Beautiful!

[Goitonthefloor]

Sorry i dont want to waste your time but i have to say 1 Thing:

Your are the greatest Man alive ! Its an honor to see your Videos.

Awesome Music....

[Goitonthefloor]

Sorry i dont want to waste your time but i have to say 1 Thing:

Your are the greatest Man alive ! Its an honor to see your Videos.

[jayp0821]

good stuff this is the stuff ive only dreamed of learning haha

[MlleCok]

great ! so beautiful ! have you got the tab??

[MarkTHEAwesome90]

17 personas son unas ignorantes hacia la musica bella!

[abonattobr]

Wonderful.

[jaimeexd]

his hands are spiders O_O

[kutlessrocker23]

Very awesome. X is one of my all time favorite FF games. You really do this song justice and I always enjoy watching your covers.

[VietnamAirForce]

Beau mais horrible à entendre. T'aurais du le travailler un peu plus histoire d'avoir du legato.

[imgonnafukdestery24]

thats amazing!

[RawkinOutt]

I found tabs for this song that I'm currently learning.. This version sounds much closer to the original. =]

[MrGuizmix]

EXCELLENT *_*

[makoanime]

pure genius :(

[bumnutz09]

2:30 haha, those harmonics scared me! such a beautiful version of a perfect song.

My eyes were just about to water and then it ended :-( Perfect man, just perfect.

[DarkMageProductions]

How can you play guitar so amazingly? >.< I find it impossible to finger pick.... can you give me any help?

[the4ndy]

@DarkMageProductions try harder, its incredibly hard I knoe but u can do it with a lot of work :)

[DarkMageProductions]

@the4ndy I'm not going to get discouraged! :) is there a certain string picking pattern for each chord?

[the4ndy]

@DarkMageProductions String picking pattern? I tried to find some good tabs but I couldnt so now I try to play it with a transcription sheet, pretty hard I think :-!

[DarkMageProductions]

@the4ndy Ahh, I'll just stick to tabs, then hopefully i'll be able to just tell by ear which strings to pick when i'm playing chords, thankyou :)

[FlirtZitrone1]

FF10 is and remains simply the best game in the world .. <33 there is no game for me hotter than this and this story is the best in the whole ff series! <33

[metalheadsam9891]

This is simply amazing, I tried learning this on guitar but it sounded nothing like this, unbelievable, a person with your talent is a 1 in a million find.

This is more relaxing than Nobuo's piano version, great work, keep it up!

[singergirl2012]

Ohhh I was looking up this song and I have thought of doing it for concert (my friend wrote words to it) but I only play guitar and when I heard this I was slightly amazed! :) Good job!

[MegaZhenwu]

TEACH ME.



[WWWGravityGamesCom]

wow, this is the best guitar cover of "to zanarkand" i have ever heared!

[ElleDimmerda]

You Rule!

[kefka3]

manly tears. they have been shed. can you play spanish guitar? I think putting a pinch of latino soul into the song would make it even better.

[UltraWins]

You arrangements are much better than mine, although I am still learning to play the guitar.

[YumYumDumplingsxD]

you look like papa jumba :D

[braddeschain]

my kids love you as much as i do!

[Natsumee]

It's amazing :)

[imajin516]

also if you don't post tabs or music can we get a better look at you position playing? Classic with no fret markers haha =/ 

[imajin516]

gave me goosebumps sir! well done =)

[findkeinnamexD]

beautiful.... oO you are awesome.

Nicely played (by ear i think?)

Maybe i'll try too... you have standard tunings?

[WhitEagle7]

@lonlonjp Your guitar play is amazing! Could you like make a video lesson of some final fantasy music? Like to take a melody apart and show how to play it? I am sure many beginners like myself would really appreciate it =)

[YuukiYumex3]

Can I have the sheet music? can't find it Dx

[Rennisflegna]

How did you find the music for it? Or did you figure it ou on your own? Either way how can I get a copy because my version I tried failed miserably

[asianxsinful]

wow O~O, you kinda making me wanna start playing the guitar there XD

[upsidedown1001]

Absoloutely incredible playing. It's amazing to think that you learned this by ear :D

What tuning is it in?

Thanks

[lilmissrockinchic]

i adore this song it melts my heart everytime i here it its BEAUTIFUL!!!<3 xxxxx

[youohful]

Dude whered you get the tabs?

[lonlonjp]

@youohful haha^^

From the bottom of my heart =)

[youohful]

@lonlonjp awww. dude really? damn i wanted to get it hahaha sounds Great.

[weewoozesty]

@lonlonjp oh thank god you got your normal guitar. your black one has a little bit of a harsh sound to it. btw i cant tell from here but is that a steel string?or nylon

[ChaosBeelzemon]

@weewoozesty I really like both covers. To answer your question, both guitars have nylon strings (you can tell because there are three bass and three treble strings which is a characteristic of nylon strings or electric guitar strings)

[jarrod19876]

@lonlonjp Best comment ever =) Wonderful. Thanks for this song.

[Thegingerbadger]

@lonlonjp Thats a perfect response.

[YetHaterLover]

@lonlonjp one of the most amazing responses I've ever read...I LOVE YOU!!

[paradox3578]

i really dont have the pacients to hear this sry to slow and even i play

[TheLinkku]

First I was listening to this in awe. Then I joined playing with you. This song must be one of Uematsu's best composes.

[XxIBlackAbyssIxX]

this song makes me cry T_T teach me to play like that ? Always wanted to learn to play like that T_T You're really good at guitar!

[Mrxiiijojjo]

I learned this version in two days ^^ i love it ! :D

[aguering]

2 years since I first saw this video, and It still makes my day !

[aguering]

Seraph, when not supporting the Oracle, plays the most sweet FF songs =)

[Makky321]

@lonlonjp that was medium...wouldnt want to play hard version haha that loooks hard enough for me at the moment xD

[JamesJumb99]

fuck. that was seriously amazing.

[Rider0fLightning]

I can see you have a love for music. Nobody without it could make his guitar sing like that. Beautiful.

[13mdark]

crap! i didn't noticed it earlier.... april 13 2008 it was my 15th birth day... now im going 18 and i think this is my b-day gift from you when i got 15 and i only received it this year...and this april 13 will be my 18 b-day. thank you very much lon..

[FrogMast3r]

lon, u be next nobuo uematsu and ill be next tetsuya nomura :)

[TH3L3GENDK1LLA]

Amazing. its actually nice hearing it on a guitar rather than piano.

[FrogMast3r]

is dunnoo but everywhere i go, there are always fight between loads of ff fans or someone saying " ff 10 was the best, no 7 was no 9 was 8 blah blah!! dat sucked , oh this one rocked.... geeez people, stop this nonsense and listen to this beautiful music..

[fearmeforiamgod1]

@FrogMast3r but if you notice nobody ever talks about 11-14 lol

[FrogMast3r]

@fearmeforiamgod1 i have never played 11 nor 14.. i have seen ff 14 gameplay but i still dont know about 11.i dont even know if it exists because some people mentioned that ffx-2 was ff11. ahaha

[TH3L3GENDK1LLA]

@fearmeforiamgod1

Theres no story in 11-14 there MMORPG like world of warcraft.

[fenrircloud01]

i thought you said this was medium level but you make it look so easy

[Marveen1229]

when did you start playing guitar mr. lonlonjp?

[megame23]

all of your stuff is wonderfully played, keep up the great work mate!

[DoDsaami]

omg srsly how do you get ur hands in all those impossible positions O.o

oh & super awsum playin! I <3 you!

[boardfu]

Uematsu-Sama is a genius. The first time I heard this I got goosebumps; still do every time. Wonderfully played.

[AmbassadorWozniak]

@boardfu

Right on man.

[datsumloli]

amazing

you put the piano to shame with your masterful guitar skills :D

also inspired hundreds of people with a beautiful song :)

[anMOOOOOOOSE]

This is amazing, I don't just mean this video. I've watched almost all of your videos and the way you play is incredible. I almost quit classical guitar but instead I'm going practice. You sir are an inspiration and I'm a big sap.

[theophilis]

Lol i played this on piano, and made people think i wrote it> i didnt lie to them technically, it was soon after i came home from travelling asia. i just said "Recently, I travelled to an ancient city called zanarkand.... Sure i had rides here and there but it took me all up around 60-70 hours of travell from the start till I arrived.... The journey was unforgettable and is one of my fondest memories, one that will stay with me for years to come. and thats why i call this song "to zanarkand' LOL

[solidus311]

*tries to play this* *head explodes*

[MRnaruto9317]

i love u man! ty so much for letting me relive this song! :DDDDDD

[DarkNeroBlader]

okay.. i go to zanarkand

[heromaster3]

that was amazing

[TheHaloSlips]

This is the very first you-tube video where I felt the need to clap after viewing. I can play this song on guitar, however, my version is crap compared to this.

[bodogger12]

hey do you have tabs for this song, i really would like to learn

[GurkeUnforgiven]

i wish I'd live in tokyo, then i could share my amazement ervery weekend with other people and hear youplaying live :-o

The song is just beautiful and ill try to play this as clear as you do!

[XkuzonX]

Great job!

[Deidaaraartisabang]

what's the name of this guitar dude

[Dorkgetreal]

ahhh. yes 2 zanarkand we must go........

[Demon19233]

you should post a tutorial for this song!! you played it so excellently teach us to play like you! :D

[nintendoneil]

that's great...but can you play the theme to super mario bros? (just kidding)...you are an amazing player, and a classy dresser too...

[Copitox]

Would you PLEASE tell me what is your fingering from 0:37 to 0:39? I'm trying to do it following the tab on gametabs, but i can't get that fragment to sound smooth, and i think it might be my fingering.

[RawkinOutt]

@Copitox Lol. I'm learning this song as well and that's EXACTLY where i'm having trouble making it sound smooth. >.<

[fenrircloud01]

whoah! ur so good at the guitar!!!!

[Gin132456]

cmon guys theres a video in front of your eyes, ears on the sides of your heads, how hard is it to look at his fingers and listen for the notes?

[Mehetjer]

man i wish i could play it like you do,

good song by the way japan its a wanderfull country of the arts

nice work lonlonjp

[kickazz96]

Do you have any sheet music for this?

[c0ddlefl0p]

You wouldnt happen to have the tabs would you? Nice vid, i want to learn it your way :)

[criticboy2k6]

14 people got eaten by Sin.

[MiguelSly]

By far the best rendition of To Zanarkand on a guitar.

Sounds perfect. Excellent arrangement.

[joiles01]

When I eat bumpy things, I have bloody poopies. :(

[angeldustproductions]

[sujiroken]

[MoonTrigger1]

Very good :D

[jihanskate]

could i ask how you arrange all these pieces for the guitar?

do you look at the actual sheet music and transcribe it accordingly to play on the classical>??

[falcolink23]

I think finally this video I see it is better than the last version of zanarkan for interpreting :D......^_^

[vukbui1987]

That... Was... Fucking BEAUTIFUL!!!! Pardon my language, I couldn't resist.

[StrayPaolo]
