Thank you! The melody of this song pairs well with guitar

Thank you my man 🙏

True! The nostalgia factor also adds a lot to the richness. Thank you for listening

yessir

I do but I'm only comfortable sharing if the original arranger (in the bio) is fine with it!

This was transcribed from Kazuki Takao's arrangement, so I'm not really comfortable with sharing the tabs unless he is fine with it. But I'd be happy to share if he is aligned!

Wow I am honored, thank you! This is a heavily used Ryoji Matsuoka No.25 1972 that I bought for like $100, some of the older Japanese guitars you can find online sound very nice. Playability gets sketchy compared to a new Yamaha, but the tone is always mellow and warm which I love. I put Augustine Blue set which is the high tension ones they offer.

​@masakiguitar Your precious skills make the $100 guitar sound almost similar as $1000 one! Thanks for your kind reply 😊

Thanks, this isn't actually my arrangement but I also don't remember where I found it 😅 Anyways here it is: tinyurl.com/57phn45s

@@masakiguitar Thanks a lot ❤️

Thanks! This song speaks volumes

we have lived a good life

Thank you! Martin 000-15m

Thanks! It's a HOC-NORTHBIRD by Headway. They're primarily a Japan-based guitar maker, so it's a bit difficult to find their guitars outside of Japan. I used a magnetic pickup for the first time and I actually don't like this tone listening to it now lol. Might be the tuning or my technique, but it sounds weirdly sharp and too bright/mushy? Finding a satisfying tone is a never-ending journey

Corodoba Mini II MH!

I'm using Martin MM12 Retro for the strings, they are VERY soft and smooth to play, highly recommend for a warm guitar like this one!

Martin 000-15m and AKG P420! I now prefer using AKG P170 or AKG C451B though

Thank you!

Thanks! Hey, you can turn that wish into reality, learning guitar is an enjoyable and fulfilling experience! It takes time and patience more than anything else, but you will definitely make progress if you try it out for few minutes every day. It's also completely fine if you don't feel like it and want to do something else. The guitar will always be there for you when you need or want to play it

truly

Martin 000-15m, pricey but worth every penny!

Thank you! Since I'm usually just learning songs that has been arranged by someone else, I try to change the interpretation to fit my own emotions for a particular song. And I am very happy that you felt a sense of that

Everything is free if you look hard enough

Check the channel in the bio, this is arranged by him!

And you will eventually be here one day! I'm using Martin 000-15M, very expensive but worth every penny! I particularly like how the mahogany looks and the warm sound that it produces.

Thanks! Must bring back memories for you

You have great taste in music, I'm sure we'll have a lot of overlap in the future I actually found this arrangement way back in the past, I'm not sure where I found it and the sheet music doesn't have the arranger's name lol. No need to credit, I believe an arranger or composer would love to see a variety of player's interpretation, at least that's how I would feel

@@masakiguitar thanks^^ Well i will at least tag you in the description since i will learn this song from your video

Thanks! Seems like we really do have the same taste in music

I'm sure there are lot of beginner friendly guitar lessons on youtube or elsewhere online, but starting off with fingerstyle might be difficult. Progress may be slow at first especially if its only been a week since you started, but you'll definitely start to see improvements with consistent practice. Good luck on your guitar journey!

Thanks for listening! Hope you get through whatever you're going through my man

Thank you!

Thank you! I wish you can hear this guitar in person, it sounds even better

@@masakiguitarthats so true. The camera takes the magic away

Healthy dose of rumination

Yes of course, I love that song! I just need to memorize it so that I can focus on the emotional expression, but I'll get there

Thank you, means a lot to me! Comments like yours make my day

I used to have a Yamaha Silent guitar as well! Though it might not produce a "classical" tone, I very much enjoyed the mellowness of the built-in reverb. In contrast, the Cordoba Stage pickup sounds brighter and more sensitive which is probably why it seem to articulate the finger noise. I think a healthy amount of finger noise brings more life to the playing though, since the sound is unique to the acoustic guitar. It really sounds like someone is actually playing the instrument compared to piano which tends to sound more robotic imo.

Thank you! I only added reverb (OrilRiver) and a little bit of EQ in post. The onboard EQ & Body knobs are sufficient for me, so I just record the direct input via Focusrite Solo and Reaper. I've recently been using Boss Katana mkII as well, and just adding reverb & delay is enough to make this guitar sound great. I used to use a lot more plugins and effects, but quickly realized that the natural tone is the best part of this guitar and there's no need to fiddle too much with effects. With that said... adding things like distortion & overdrive is fun way to spice it up

Thank you for listening! Lot of great songs for all of us to discover

@@masakiguitar😊

Thanks my man

Thank you, means a lot to me! Other guitarists on youtube inspires me to keep on playing guitar, so the chain is established

Thank you!
