I hope life is treating you well. Even after all these years, somehow I return to this part of youtube and listen to this music and not knowing that you will never upload again, kinda makes me sad.
Slow and deliberately meaningful. She coaxed the most emotion she could from the guitar, and that's what you do with a tune like this. I think she did just fine. I'm 67 and just learned this one. It's a lot more difficult when you start out late in life with fingerpicking. But two months later I manage this song, and Twilight by Kotaro Oshio. Not too bad for an older dude.
I find myself coming back to this track time and time again. I appreciate you taking the time to master such a piece, it has been a calming melody to help fight the raging storm. While you progress and find your own inner melody, whether piano, guitar, or otherwise just know to keep pressing forward. I hope to hear much more from you by the time you return. Please never let that flame die, be well and be safe!
Thank you for your kind words :) It is always amazing to know that my music touches someone, and even more so when someone finds strength in it. Thank you!
I really love how the way you play.. I'm not sure if you're playing while looking at the tabs or you just made a quite sad expression during play. Whichever, it really suits the music, and I really love it.
It is great to see someone your age into music like this. I gives me hope for the future and where we are headed as a people. My only fear is there are not enough of you (your type) around. It's gonna be a tough fight as you guys are way out numbered.
I'm glad you played it slow. It gives me an opportunity to see your finger placement and try to match them. It's a great song and you are a great player at your young age. Thanks! :)
@keepitrolln Thanks :) it's not 100% acoustic, I've got it plugged into a line6 toneport GX but I didn't add any effects, just the plain "acoustic guitar" sound. Hope you can decide soon enough, I really love mine with silk & steel strings :)
Hi Thanks to you, I downloaded the tabs and have been practicing it since then. Thanks a lot. First, I didn't know how to read tabs, but I learnt it and from now on, I will upgrade my level of finger style and will try to upload videos like you all. Encourage me by uploading more of your videos,of course, including tabs.
When I played the guitar along your playing, I made a lot of mistake because of your beautiful looks and pure image.. I love this song HANA, and I love your playing. Oh my...you're so pretty!!
It may sound weird, but I prefer your cover to the original one played by Masaaki Kishibe in some videos I found, and other people's covers. Maybe because of the speed, it is a song that has to be played slowly, to really get the feeling of it. You did catch the perfect tempo... (to me of course, other people may think different) I have to thank you, I discovered this song and Masaaki thanks to your video. Keep up the good work!!!
im soo going to get that exact guitar. saw it at guitar center yesterday and i love it!! so beautiful and great sound. great job. ur playing is GREAT! keep it up.
sounds beautiful maikoi, I enjoyed that very much. Congrats on your first Masaaki cover. I cant wait to see and hear more. Best of luck on your next songs ~Vic~
Heh I'm still working on that one. The one I'll be uploading soonish kinda involves clouds too though ^^; But don't spoil it if you know which song I'm talking about!
@aungjp Using the tabs to learn the song is a lot quicker and easier ;o though if you want to learn from videos, you should use your eyes to know around which area the fingers are placed, and then use your ear to make out the exact fret and string. Tabs are a really good place to start when you're a beginner though! And over time your ear will grow better.
Forgive me if I am wrong, but I can swear that your capo is on the 2nd fret. (Cant see the head of your guitar but your inlay dots gave it away). Anyways, I would like to let you know that this song is originally played with the capo on the 3rd fret. You will find the sound sweeter, give it a try. Take a look at Masaaki's original video, or at Flower by Andy McKnee. Hope you enjoy em.
You are very talented and do some really nice covers. Great job!! ...I was wondering how do you record your sound? do you use an amp? if so what amp do you use, it sounds good
great performance of hana! i just downloaded the tabs. it's gonna be the next song i'm gonna learn i think. im almost through song for 1310 and maasaki kishibe's version of yesterday once more.
@luisito8m Hmm, you're right. I never noticed! The tabs I found said capo on 2, and I never really paid close attention to Masaaki's original video.. I'll try it with capo on 3 next time I play it :) Thanks for letting me know!
I made video response to you not because I wanted to show off but wanted to be one of your friends. You might remember that one year ago I said I would try to play like you one day. I asked you to give tabs attached to your uploads which you said ' yes, I will'. I had never known what tabs were until I watched your video and got tabs (e.g Hana). Really thank you. Encourage me by watching and writing some comments of my video. :)
@maikoi15011 thx a lot, i´m glad for any peace of advise i can get since i don´t take any guitar lessons. i´ll try to use it for my playing now (if i´m capable XD) i hope i´ll catch up with you sometime^^ greetz tom
@nanamenisuberuyuka I'm sorry, I don't understand Japanese.. I tried a translater though! So you're asking me what I think of when I'm playing Guitar? Well, I don't really think about anything... I just feel :)
good playing honey.. im an advanced guitar player and the person that told you to play faster was wrong... how well you play it is the goal... i prefer playing those kinds of songs slowly like you did ... they sound just as good if not better like that... keep guitar in your heart
What you do not smile, and your modesty, and deep music, muted lights - all this makes you especially beautiful. This video inspires and raises mind, purifies the soul - it wants to listen to over and over again... ...I like the way you play the melody. Like more than the others. Even than the Masaaki Kishibe ) However, I'm serious! Because they are too in a hurry. But it should sound slowly, expressive and heartfelt. Just the way you do.
Aww... those are very kind words, thank you :) I always play from the heart, that is what playing music means to me.. pouring my emotions into the song. Now I'll pick up my guitar and play some, it's been way too long again! Thanks for motivating me! :-)
maikoi15011 You have given me (and not only me) ray of light slips. In fact, here a combination of factors: the image of the performer, her emotions (soul, heart) that are embedded in its performance of music, its ability to properly feel the harmony and sense of melody. For example, I listened to a lot of different versions of this tune. Many people perform very professionally (technically). But my soul is not touched. This song is called: flower. Flower slowly opens its bud. The flower is beautiful, gentle, pure and slowly pours its fragrance of the surrounding nature. The listener should see this flower and feel its flavor. The best review that I read here about you, consisted of just two words: "you - the flower". ) And it means that you have managed to achieve the goal. PS You have inspired me to guitar, I am very grateful to you. )

belated congratulations. Her cover is indeed something else. Have a happy life.

I was 5 years old when this was posted. Time is truly an enigma.

Beautiful song and excellent job! Love the sound of your guitar.
Beautiful job!!
I really liked how flow-like and consistent this cover was. Way to go.
I really love how the way you play.. I'm not sure if you're playing while looking at the tabs or you just made a quite sad expression during play. Whichever, it really suits the music, and I really love it.
It's a beautiful music,I like this music.
I like how you take your time to play this piece, giving all the chance to absorb and take in the beautiful piece slowly. Brava!
Still waiting for new videos haha love it
wow,
the melody is fantastic and you are BEAUTIFUL !
Yeah I love it when that happens :) Thanks for the compliment and be sure to expect another Masaaki Kishibe song soon!
@DiegochTube I'm glad you liked it, and no problem :)
It is great to see someone your age into music like this. I gives me hope for the future and where we are headed as a people. My only fear is there are not enough of you (your type) around. It's gonna be a tough fight as you guys are way out numbered.

Bellssimo brano suonato molto bene e con sentimento.Brava.
Mario.
Beautiful song and very wonderful cover for this song.

I can feel the emotion in your play. Well done and hope you will be happy for everything since you are a good guitar player. Good job~~~

I'm not sure, I haven't really checked with Masaaki's own video, but open D tuning and capo on 2nd fret sounds best to me :P
Very well played and peaceful. ^_^ Nice job.
@aungjp Good to hear :) and I will!!

@SuperUThink Hehe don't worry, I thought exactly that when I first started out and was watching other people play on youtube! ^^
@nanamenisuberuyuka I'm sorry, I don't understand Japanese.. I tried a translater though! So you're asking me what I think of when I'm playing Guitar? Well, I don't really think about anything... I just feel :)
@maikoi15011 OMG, i thought an angel only doing 2 jobs. being an angel and being a musician. i never thought that an angel also a programmer
@.@
good playing honey.. im an advanced guitar player and the person that told you to play faster was wrong... how well you play it is the goal... i prefer playing those kinds of songs slowly like you did ... they sound just as good if not better like that... keep guitar in your heart

@maikoi15011

Awesome playing.
I actually hadn't heard this song before.
Can the next Masaaki Kishibe song you play be "Sea of Clouds"?
cool, your videos shows you improved over time ^^
@monex6694 I wasn't using effects recording this :o
@NobitaPaul Yes I am! ;) I'm studying ICT at uni. I take it that you're a programmer as well then?

It is nice to see a beautiful girl play a beautiful song in a softly lightened setting. Than you, you are awesome.
