I'm a pianist and I learned this music on piano and mastered. When I see a guitar player, I can't stop thinking on how skilled they are, I mean, a lot of people would say piano is hard, but I believe guitar is the hardest instrument to play, for me. 😅 And you played this music! You r a god.

[@s10cil]

I'm a guitarist myself, I can say that it can get hard sometimes. But I think violin would be the hardest instrument.

[@lunciel]

@@s10cil as a guitarist, violinist, and pianist i can say that all three instruments are hard TT but yes, factually violin is the most difficult

[@ienjoy8130]

I played Guitar and I think piano is hard maybe its just how comfortable we are with a instrument ive been guitar for 3 years and Im trying to learn piano but I just cant im too stuck with the guitar

[@Swordonator]

Well uh, guitar is one of the hardest imo. But string instruments are also up there. Gotta worry about how far to shift, but theres tabs on guitars, gotta do vibrato, worry about pressure, speed, amount of bow, location of bow on string, like its insane

[@s10cil]

@@ienjoy8130 Ive only been taking my guitar seriously this quarantine. I play everyday, so it gets easier everyday. I recommend playing everyday, evenfor just a few minutes.

[@xLegend1000x]

My favourite version. Elegant, with all the right statements. So glad I found your performance, and thank you very much for the tab.

[@송승재-i6p]

Joe Shaw wdym statements

[@xLegend1000x]

ᄒᄒA시 Just meant the way things are played, the way passages are played softly, more intensely, or embellished. It doesn’t feel overdone or needlessly complex and when there is emphasis it feels deserved. So by statements I just meant that, the right embellishments and mood/vibe and tempo throughout.

[@randomspectator2580]

@@FranciszekCiuk bruh I’d like to see you play it lmao

[@capotthomas9719]

It is hard at first sight, and even to play. But because it doesn't require much technique, it just takes a little while to get that syncronization and finger placement, but really isn't very hard

[@weeshe811]

@@capotthomas9719 Guitar is a really difficult instrument. its not just all wiggling your fingers and strumming with your other hand, theirs so many different techniques, chords etc. Guitar is one of the hardest instruments.

[@capotthomas9719]

@@weeshe811 i strongly disagree, even though i don't remember perfectly my first steps. I struggled a few months with coordination of the two hands, but that's all. Bar chords take a few more weeks to be learned. There are much much harder instruments, like brass or strings (the four main ones)

[@LeoBrawls]

Something about the sound of fingers rubbing the strings is just beautiful ❤

[@madalsamamgain6779]

I am addicted to this! I have had this on a loop for the last two hours! Thank you so much for the tabs:) I will aim to learn this wonderful tune. "Howl's Moving Castle", is perhaps the richest Studio Ghibli film I have seen! You're playing gives such justice to Joe Hisaishi's essential melody!!

[@phyche_2437]

I had a friend who used to play this all the time for me, he even got me a music box that plays it since he knew I liked it. Hearing it on an acoustic guitar played the same way he did makes me so happy and even a bit sad in a good way. Thank you so much for playing this

[@cassiacana5335]

Absolutely adore this cover! Elegant, charming, crisp. (And not overdramatic and overly flourished :p) Praying that the youtube algorithm will take notice and give you what you deserve 🙏
