Howl's Moving Castle

Here is Sungha Jung covering the theme music for the popular Studio Ghibli animated film Howl's Moving Castle, just on his youtube profile you can see several other covers he has done on his acoustic guitar. He uses very interesting technique covering each of his fingers in finger plectrums. Although it doesn't match up to the full orchestral piece, it shows the piece at an entirely different angle, which is always a pleasure.

Here is his version and the original, composed by Joe Hisaishi who does most of the Ghibli movies. I would post the live version but the sound quality is so low it's not really worth it.
