My comment is probably going to get lost in here, but every time I fall off the guitar practice wagon, I come back here, listen to you, and start my playing habits again. Thank you so much for your content. Getting music into my life has really changed it for the better.
Amazing comment! Glad it wasn’t lost after all. I fell off my playing wagon completely. And finding this was serendipitously stupendous sounds of songs forgotten. I loved these games and their soundtracks. Thank you for sharing; and to John you play swimmingly superb!
Excuse the language, but this was fucking amazing. This took me to a time in my youth where I would spend hours upon hours of getting lost in these fantastical worlds of Final Fantasy. Makes me truly appreciate how all of that time was not wasted, it went straight to enriching my soul. Thanks John, and keep up the great work.
Spending hours upon hours getting lost in Final Fantasy was one of my favourite things to do in these games, which goes to show how great Final Fantasy is.
There is a special ache reserved inside our hearts for soundtracks in games. The music unconsciously wraps its way around you whilst you advance through the game; like the way a girl's smell gently surrounds you whilst you fall in love. And then, when the game is complete or the love is gone, years can pass by. But then when you hear it once more, this potent dose of nostalgia catches you off guard and shatters all your defenses. And you are back again, lost in that world of childhood fantasy.
May I just say how much I appreciate that your arrangements include a repeat? Most classical arrangements are too short! Yours are much better. Exemplary work, as always
I love how this whole time I was convinced that Sight of Spira was a duet and only ever saw a perfect cover as such and you just come and casually solo it 😂 Well done no longer have an excuse not to cover it. Also Calm before the storm
Putting a dash of Vamo Alla Flamenco into Toroian Beauty was just... unbelievably good. It's what it's been missing the whole time and I never knew it.
That's not quite Vamo Alla Flamenco, that's literally the Troian Beauty of XIV arrangement, yes it has a dash similar of Vamo Alla Flamenco (except with a slower and more somber of FFIV Troia, for a dungeon called The Fell Court of Troia, recommend you trying out it, it's great). And Vamo Alla Flamenco is also in XIV as well.
I'm writing a fantasy series and mostly listen to your Final Fantasy music while writing at night. Thank you a lot for the inspiration and for the beautiful way you play my favourite videogame music. WIsh you great success in life, the emotion you put in your work deserves it.
I just looked at your work and it is pretty amazing. It is astounding seeing how great artists of different mediums inspire each other. I would like to know more baout the fantasy series!
@@IncredibleGoose Thank you a lot! If you speak Spanish I would love to, I'm from Spain so I'm writing the series in Spanish. Sadly there are no near future plans to make it available in English, although I dream I can one day!
Thanks so much!! I need to listen to the early EverQuest OST. I remember trying to play with a friend back in the day, and I could barely over 3 fps on my computer. 🤣.
Over a decade ago when I first started guitar as a teen, my very first goal was to play songs from FF and other JRPGs that I was obsessed with. This collection inspired me to get back to it! Just nabbed the sheet music on your Patreon!
To all people who is suffering and lost for this moment. I am sending you my soul and healing heart... may you see the light and walk pass through it. The Sun is always there.. it never left. Tomorrow is a promise 🙏 ❤️
Just got back from a family party and I was talking about FFXIV, I think I am finally going to download it tonight. Thanks again for all the tunes, John.
My subconscious came out of autopilot when I clocked that you played both the rhythm and melody of Blue Fields at the same time which blew my mind for a sec and i look forward to practicing the tabs if i ever finish my endless school essays T_T
you reminded me of old songs i used to play in an online game on instruments as a bard, i had alot of old final fantasy songs and I kinda forgot about them. thank you for reminding me of better times and make me reminisce
I cried during FFVIII themes, especially Julia's, which brings back childhood memories ❤❤❤❤ the soft yet lonely melody.. thank you for covering this amazing piece of music.
Troian Beauty . You absolute legend! Look at the cheek of that! Incredible! Just entirely blown away by the mental and physical dexterity of that. Incredibly clean....Well done!
Buddy, cream in my pants GOOD. I've only seen this done by duals. I hurt my fingers making my six string feel bad about itself... but you caress this 12 string with the agility and strength and grace that should be saved for heaven. Well done, sir!! Well done!! ❤
Mr. Oeth, thank you sincerely for sharing your truly spectacular talent with all of us. I know this collection will get as many countless listens from me as your first one. You are my kitchen companion while I cook, and simply nothing maintains my tranquility like your Lvl 99 bard skills. Thank you again!
I love watching him play. He looks like he is having so much fun and enjoys what he's doing so much. It really brings a great feel to the music. Thank you, Mr. Oeth for loving what you do and sharing it with all of us.
01:18:36 Close in the Distance is my favourite song of the day! I've never played the FFXIV, but it sounds really epic. And that low string, how lovely, intriguing, and DEEP!
Thank you so much for making a version of Epitaph! I think it's one of the most emotive musics in FF6 and it never get's the love it deserves! Thank you for that!
I always enjoy this as a companion to my evening drinks.thanks a lot. And the selection of songs from FFT is particularly excellent. Only someone who played the game can understand the faithfulness and respect to the original music. Everything about it is amazing. It brings back fond memories of when I used to play the game, and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
I'm so glad to hear that. I really need to do more FF Tactics songs. That game holds a special place in my heart as well as the time period I played it. Cheers!
やっぱりセリスのテーマが一番好きです。非常に切なくもあり美しい曲。小学生の時にリアルタイムでゲームをやってた頃はこの切なさがわからず単にきれいな曲だなとしか思いませんでした。選曲も演奏も素晴らしい。 Awesome! My favorite song is just Celes's Theme. How beautiful this song is! When I was an elementary school student, I used to play FFⅵ. At that time, I only felt this song is just beautiful, but now I can understand some dimensions of this song. It is not just only beautiful but also showing a sallow.
Man, I'm glad this came across my feed. This reminded me of why I wanted to learn guitar. After I finish moving, I'm going to find some lessons and get back to learning.
Brings back bittersweet memories... My dad used to play guitar quite a bit when I was young, and he loved playing ff games on his old rickty work laptop as well. Listening to this unlocked some deep forgotten but nice memories of him thank you.
Thank you for this. I cried so many times, especially during You're Not Alone. Playing the older titles as a kid, I didn't really completely grasp the concept and themes of those songs and the games. So much fun replaying them as an adult.
What a beautiful collection of Final Fantasy renditions. Honestly listening to these tracks makes me feel as if my soul is being warmed. I listen to it when I rock my daughter to bed and it's so calming to have consistently playing in my house. Please continue to do these Final Fantasy arrangements. These are honestly fantastic.
I have played every single Final fantasy game possible. Currently playing XVI and man dude... your guitar playing really did take me back to the retro times.

Imagine walking out in a random area on a hike and you suddenly hear this music. You'd think you stepped into another dimension on some grand quest.
Haha it happens many times. Only a few people in public have recognized the songs though.
@@JohnOethGuitar Now you need to record a busking video, like those "pianist plays public piano" videos you see on here all the time.
Then he starts playing a battle song and you forgot bring the sword!
I would love to stumble upon FF music in the wild
lol! Yehh! or meeting love of your life, also a final fantasy fan.
My comment is probably going to get lost in here, but every time I fall off the guitar practice wagon, I come back here, listen to you, and start my playing habits again. Thank you so much for your content. Getting music into my life has really changed it for the better.
That is awesome to hear. I always say it is the best compliment you can ever give a musician. Cheers, brother!
@@JohnOethGuitar Cheers to you too! We grind on!
Amazing comment! Glad it wasn’t lost after all. I fell off my playing wagon completely. And finding this was serendipitously stupendous sounds of songs forgotten. I loved these games and their soundtracks. Thank you for sharing; and to John you play swimmingly superb!
Now I'm actually visualizing "the guitar practice wagon".
Divided by nations, united by Final Fantasy.
HAHA! This might be true.
That was beautiful 😢😭
Like the plot of a Final Fantasy!
これは本当に素晴らしいです。演奏者の背景もFFの世界観を再現してくれています。
海外の方がFFの世界をギター一本でこんなに見事に表現してくれて嬉しすぎます。
Well, I have found what to listen to while grading essays.
Same! 10th-grade research papers
I'm listening while working on my schedule for this semester.
It might make the essays seem better than they are, haha.
I’m very glad to see teachers keeping a cool and level head while working out there lessons!
Looks like there all getting “A’s” 😂
The animals of the forest are going to gather around to hear this beautiful music
Like the ocarina kid from LTTP
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
Absolutely transcendant
Thanks so much ❤️
It's kinda funny how Edward is a universally hated character but his theme is universally adored.
Excuse the language, but this was fucking amazing.
This took me to a time in my youth where I would spend hours upon hours of getting lost in these fantastical worlds of Final Fantasy. Makes me truly appreciate how all of that time was not wasted, it went straight to enriching my soul. Thanks John, and keep up the great work.
Spending hours upon hours getting lost in Final Fantasy was one of my favourite things to do in these games, which goes to show how great Final Fantasy is.
yeh some dungeons were insane, there was no high quality shadow effect but the fear built up.
FF was great right off the bat!
This guy deserves wayyyy more subs... Like, everyone on the planet, would do us all good
Instant like for Edward's harp
We may speak different languages but music is a language we all understand
not sure all, considering what makes success nowadays but, true he guys speaks to our hearts

Edwards Harp really got me.... Amazing
The ability to keep the voices in Blue Fields so clear and concise was like virtuosic. It was like 2 guitars playing at once.
As someone who is walking through the darkness right now, this music is some kind of healing magic for me. Thank you for your divine spark, friend.
Same here :)
I sincerely hope you are doing better
Jesus is the only way.
This is truly a heart filling performance. Hopefully you are feeling better these days
I hope you feel better friend! ❤️
Calm Before the Storm is so good
This will most definitely be a boon for my productivity. Beautiful as always!
Awh thanks so much Samuel. Good luck on your work! 🤙
It’s perfect for work this man is just so talented !
Everything in FFVI is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
May I just say how much I appreciate that your arrangements include a repeat? Most classical arrangements are too short! Yours are much better.
Exemplary work, as always
Thanks! I try to hit a sweet spot with repeats since most of these songs are designed to be looped.
I'd have to agree with this 99% of the time! Especially when I'm busy with something or driving, it's a pain to hit the "rewind button"! lol..
This is absolutely beautiful, thank you so much!
I love how this whole time I was convinced that Sight of Spira was a duet and only ever saw a perfect cover as such and you just come and casually solo it 😂
Well done no longer have an excuse not to cover it. Also Calm before the storm
Yuffie!

52:50 Sing Monty Python's "brave brave sir robin" song along with this. It's great.
I don't know if anyone else could do Uematsu's music such justice on a solo instrument. Many have tried. Oeth is the GOAT.
This video is a safe space for humanity
That's my dream to play classic like this remarkable
I still listen to part 1 at least once a week! I’m so happy this appeared in my feed
Thanks for continued listening! Have a great new year 🤙
Thank you my brother has physical health problems and he finds comfort in your music. Thank you so much.
That's what it's all about. It's my pleasure and I hope he has a speedy recovery.
Thanks for uploading this John, I appreciate the effort you put into making scenic videos and excellent music.
Thanks so much!! I need to listen to the early EverQuest OST. I remember trying to play with a friend back in the day, and I could barely over 3 fps on my computer. 🤣.
@@JohnOethGuitar LOL love this :) Yeah nothing like trying to slay gnolls wtih 32mbs ram too.
@@JohnOethGuitar Oh man! Some Qeynos or the Merchant music would be amazing!
Delita's rendition made me tear up.
God I love FFT, best FF out there.
エピタフ良いですね。ダリルの墓で思い出を語るシーンがギターの切ない音色に乗って思い出されます
awesome! so glad u did hero's theme!
FFはピアノとかの演奏もあるけどギターもいいですね
That Blue Fields version is crazy, superb work all around.
Love it as well! John really gets the feeling of Final Fantasy. :)
Your Troian Beauty was absolutely mesmerizing. I fell in love with it.
YEEEEEEEES here we go
Well I immediately started to tear up and cry when I heard you play on the other side of the mountain.
I loved it too
that dynamis cover is absolutely incredible.
00:38:02 'You're not alone' some of the parts of the song reminds me a lot of the song Rains of Castamere from Game of Thrones.
"Welcome to our town" definitely having a "Chestnut roasting over an open fire" feel 🔥🔥,.The christmas decor is just perfect.
Celes' Theme hits so hard as always. Beautiful.
Over a decade ago when I first started guitar as a teen, my very first goal was to play songs from FF and other JRPGs that I was obsessed with. This collection inspired me to get back to it! Just nabbed the sheet music on your Patreon!
Final Fantasy VIII - Julia at 31:01 brings so much memory, ( Squall and Rinoa), it's a beautiful track )
Final Fantasy XIの曲の数々好きなので、ありがとうございます！
Appreciate you!
To all people who is suffering and lost for this moment. I am sending you my soul and healing heart... may you see the light and walk pass through it. The Sun is always there.. it never left. Tomorrow is a promise 🙏 ❤️
that "Julia" just hits on another level and goes straight to the heart. incredible work. keep it up.
I just wanna hold my baby and watch him fall asleep in my arms while listening to this soothing guitar playing. Excellently rendered sir. Respect.
Just got back from a family party and I was talking about FFXIV, I think I am finally going to download it tonight. Thanks again for all the tunes, John.
I hope you did decide to! Welcome to Eorzea, we're glad to have you with us!
@@willscarlet565 I did! I was playing an Au'Ra lancer until I had some PC problems but I'll be back soon

Don't know why, but I cried while listening to this.
Oh my :o Celes theme was lovely.
You've inspired me to go back to my FF roots.
I cried during FFVIII themes, especially Julia's, which brings back childhood memories ❤❤❤❤
the soft yet lonely melody.. thank you for covering this amazing piece of music.
ah sure I’d like it ahah
Troian Beauty . You absolute legend! Look at the cheek of that! Incredible! Just entirely blown away by the mental and physical dexterity of that. Incredibly clean....Well done!
The way you play Descendant of Shinobi is so cheerful and you seem to be having so much fun!
Buddy, cream in my pants GOOD. I've only seen this done by duals. I hurt my fingers making my six string feel bad about itself... but you caress this 12 string with the agility and strength and grace that should be saved for heaven. Well done, sir!! Well done!! ❤
10/10 track selection. "Julia", "Edwards Harp" and "Calm Before the Storm" are some of my favorites! Instant nostalgia

You are my kitchen companion while I cook, and simply nothing maintains my tranquility like your Lvl 99 bard skills. Thank you again!

Limit Break that lasagna! :D
Well Done!! Master Tellah is proud!
So is Galuf and General Leo!
うわぁ……一曲目がギルバートだ………そして美しい演奏ありがとうございます
I burst into tears when Close in the Distance started playing
Thank you
I love watching him play. He looks like he is having so much fun and enjoys what he's doing so much. It really brings a great feel to the music. Thank you, Mr. Oeth for loving what you do and sharing it with all of us.
Awh thanks for the kind comment. It's my passion and I'm happy that shows. Have a great one!
I have fallen asleep to the first collection hundreds of nights. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for listening!! 🤙

I'm so glad to hear that. I really need to do more FF Tactics songs. That game holds a special place in my heart as well as the time period I played it. Cheers!
My appreciation for the sheer technical skill here just grows with even listen.
So thankful for Vol. 2! I can't remember how many time Vol. 1 was on loop before.
Glad to hear it and thanks so much for listening!
Thank you, John! Baby girl went to sleep 3 songs in. 🙌🏼

your descendant of shinobi slaps so hard ive listened to it maybe 30 times in 2 days
Just happy to see Final Fantasy Tactics on here.
Your XIV arrangements are always breathtaking, kudos
That place where Spira Unplugged is filmed totally reminds me of a place from the game! Right before Tidus meets the Shoopuf
Man, I'm glad this came across my feed. This reminded me of why I wanted to learn guitar. After I finish moving, I'm going to find some lessons and get back to learning.

perfect description. I love virtuoso classical guitar. So Sublime.

loved the ff tactics ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! I really need to do some more.
I got goosebumps from Celes theme
Made me remember the scene from the cliff 😢It was hard seeing a strong woman totally breaking down and stop believing in anything.
I only have 1 thing to say: THE BEST
