♪# Personal Profile #♪
A just so-so hard nut office worker, but on weekend everything seems to be fine and i play the guitar for you out there. Please relax and enjoy some solo guitar pieces both acoustic and classical.
i have been a street-musician, on weekend only at the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka Tokyo since 2005.
Then, i found YouTube to deliver my sincere feeling to you directly.
Please especially check my recently uploaded videos. i am sorry, the older one, may be not so good as of the quality of the videos as you expected, :) :D :P ... At first, the videos was directly uploaded by a $30 web-camera, once and for all, no 2nd take ;) ... lol
i have improved them step by step, little by little. i appreciate your understanding on this matter. i will improve and remake some of my old videos according to your request.
Your comments, rating and viewing on my channel always encourage me to play the guitar for you, whenever you feel good, not so good, not so bad, or anytime you want.
Please enjoy watching my videos and leave a comment or rating if you wish, but please don't just spam with guitar tabs request.
♪#### FAQ ####♪
Q1: How have you learnt playing guitar? and how many years took for you to play like you do now?
A1: i started playing the guitar when i was 11. So i have played the guitar for 35 years. i took a classical guitar private lesson intensively for 2 years from 1978 to 1980 under a professional guitar teacher. i believe at that time, when i was 17, was my highest, in a technical sense, playing almost any guitar songs, which currently i cannot do though ;) ...shame...;) After that, i did not play it so often for 30 years. i re-started playing the guitar on every weekend in front of the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, from 2005 with a volunteer sprit.
Q2. Can you send me tabs?
A2. Sorry, i cannot. Please note that i have deep respect to music composers and arrangers such as Joe Hisaishi, Nobuo Uematsu, Nobuyuki Hirakura and Daisuke Minamizawa. There still remains some copyright problem as well. And they are reason why i cannot send tabs to anyone except it is definitely my own invention and product, so that we can keep on enjoying their beautiful music in the future.
Q3. What do you mean by lonlonjp version?
lonlonjp version is my original guitar arrangement and my own playing. However, i am not good at reading and writing guitar tabs. it takes me really heavy, painful efforts to write down a guitar tab. Actually, i do not need guitar tabs at all. i by far prefer a simple music sheet. it's easier for me to read and play at a glance.
Regarding Ghibli videos, the score and tabs which i am using are easily available here in Japan. Almost every music shop has them. The Internet bookstore amazon.co.jp may help you to obtain the tabs from abroad, outside Japan.
Q4: What are those letters in your video titles are they indicating difficulty level????
A4: Yes^-^
"E" is Easy
"M" is Moderate, Medium
"H" is Hard
i am writing it to help those who would like to cover it on your guitar =D
Please note that the difficulty levels are just in my opinion, i hope you enjoy my arrangement without heasitation no matter what level i mentioned :)
Best regards
lonlonjp

I've always loved your compositions on the classical guitar. I don't think there is one day where I do not listen to one of your songs. I would like to request the song "Fountain of Dreams" from the Kirby series. The fast paced version from the original game. There are piano versions on YouTube that can be a great reference if you would like.

Lonlonjp, you're my absolute inspiration as far as music goes. You have pushed me to learn, to compose, and to play. You have shaped the way in which I play guitar and express myself. You are truly my influence. You are my idol.
