Sylvalum (Night) - Xenoblade Chronicles X Guitar Cover / Arrangement

The Xenoblade Chronicles X OST is quickly becoming one of my favourite soundtracks of all time. Each of the area themes just go SO. DAMN. HARD! It's an absolute pleasure to listen to each and every time.
My favourite of each of these is easily Sylvalum Night's theme. I originally intended to do an acoustic-style cover of this, but I ended up settling on a rock balled-styled arrangement. I'm really proud of this one, and hopefully you guys enjoy it!
Shoutouts to Ferdk for his arranging help on this video!

You always choose the PERFECT songs for you! Everything you do is super emotionally great. The part at 1:50 is what got me, it's so beeeeautiful!

It's possible! I have a different cover I'm working on right now, but I wouldn't be opposed to doing the other 3 area themes
