This is probably as wholesome as a film noir silhouette gets. Luke is excellent at articulation: buttery smooth legato backing; crisp, clean melodies. That's not an easy feat across all the instruments.
I was just listening to your IV and V ones today. Spooky... Also, Bully's Walk Theme would be dope, since it's pretty simple and you could spice it up with other instruments.
GTA 3 theme has always been my favourite out of all the GTA themes. Not sure why, is it nostalgia or something else? But it just feels so... dunno, soulful? Definitely hits the spot, especially when those strings come in at 0:45 . I could just listen to it on repeat and forget about all the worries of the world for a while.
Who would've thought that Rockstar were a trumpet and 1min & 18secs away from creating a pristine master piece. Even tho the OG is good, that recreation is so truthful to the original that it actually surpasses it when it come to audio quality, also the additional own touch to the melody with the trumpet give it a nice twist yet fitting to the original track. Amazing Job, flawlessly executed. Congratulations.
Brother, never underestimate the trumpet. Any good electro swing artist will teach you that (Klischée, Caravan Palace and Deluxe are all amazing bands, check em out)
The fact that Rockstar themselves somehow found an orchestra and had this piece created over 20 years ago for a video games where you run around and kill hookers kinda blows my stupid mind.
I remember as a kid launching and quitting the game repeatedly to listen to this theme. Who knows, maybe it's this game that planted the seed that years later would blossom into my love for jazz music. Your rework is magnificent.
this is what it sounds like when i try to remember the first time i listened to it as a young lad, 9pm on a friday at a friend's house. you managed to capture that quite well. fantastic work
I just love this heart theme. It might be my favorite! I don't know how to describe it, it's so simple and beautiful, but at the same time melancholic and decadent. It perfectly conveys the Liberty City vibe. It would definitely be a song I would play in a rooftop cafe on a cloudy rainy day. I hope Rockstar makes another GTA in the future with a more serious and realistic feel like GTA 3 and 4.
Tomorrow will be the 23 anniversary of this childhood game of mine, and im so happy that people like you make this timeless piece sound young once again. Long live jazz, long live GTA and long live Claude!
You have no idea how long I've been waiting for someone to do a full live cover of this theme. Never played the game, but the title music has been stuck in the back of my head since I was 16 years old!
That was insane! All the time and effort it must have taken to edit that together with all the different instruments must have been very time consuming. This was very, very well done and it kind of made me want to play the game again. Very impressive and an absolutely amazing job!
Ah the nostalgia, very nice rendition! All the ost were great. As a kid I always had joyride on full blast, on repeat, to great annoyance to my parents.
"Mmm... that was magnificent. A very emotional piece." GTA III is like no other. It has a special place in my heart. Thank you very much for this masterpiece!
Okay, I know people who have ATTEMPTED to learn to play multiple instruments, but usually that was all it was - trying... Sometimes they became good at one of them, sometimes they failed miserably and just gave up all together... And then there's you, seemingly having mastered at least every instrument in this video alone and I bet there's more (and you can bet I'll be checking that out for myself on your channel soon enough)! This is so good, you're so good, congratulations and thank you for this, it's awesome to see someone so talented covering a legendary theme song! 💯
CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO COVER VICE CITY AND LIBERTY CITY STONIES AND VICE CITY STORIES ANDDD GTA II ANDDD GTA I AND GTA IVLOST AND DAMMED AND LITERALLY ANYTHING EXCEPT THE GTA GBA
Awesome man. The feeling that comes over me hearing this. The memories of growing up playing the game. Just all flood back as I process watching your video. Sounds just like it.
I was listening to the Paris theme from Sly 2 and Venice theme from Sly 3 and I just thought that you'd make an absolutely amazing version of it. That's all, have a good day :D
GTA III has by far the most chill sounding theme of the franchise
Can’t wait for you to cover Vice City!
And the most ruthless protagonist too
@@JeSsE10mCcOy11that would be the gta online protagonist
Chill music and ruthless city
@@JOJO-oj8gy city is not so ruthless, but claude is

bro's dedication to make stuff like this needs to be more respected and recognised for his hard work.

OK cause u say so I guess what a weird thing to gatekeep
It's crazy how good rockstar are at making their themes fit the exact tone and time period of the games. This cover is absolutely incredible!
Rockstar is really the GOAT of themes 👏

others are addons dlcs
can't deny that lcs has one of the best themes of the franchise
@@user-s8gma48zzl34yeah that one was pretty good
Easily my favorite of the GTA themes, and something about that effortless smoothness is just perfect for fall. Absolute PEAK.
The mix is like a massage for my ears. This is how the song was meant to be
Something about the way the harp strings vibrate is mesmerizing to me
良いシーンでした

As a kid, with my PS2, there was nothing I wanted more than for this song to go on for a while longer. This version makes my inner child happy.

Definitely hits the spot, especially when those strings come in at 0:45 . I could just listen to it on repeat and forget about all the worries of the world for a while.
it's my favorite of them too, the jazz of it all just hits so right 👏
0:29 very important the wallet on the snare drum
It's probably dampening the sound, which is actually important
Who would've thought that Rockstar were a trumpet and 1min & 18secs away from creating a pristine master piece.

Amazing Job, flawlessly executed. Congratulations.
GTA 3, did not expect that, but I'm glad I didn't, can't wait to hear your take on it
Lowkey the best GTA Theme song. Why does rockstar rock at everything they do? Bangers only!
You just took me back so many years man, cheers!
Very good!! I would love to hear some bossa nova from The Sims 1 in your style
Thanks Gustavo, that's an awesome idea! Sims had some fantastic music 👏
GTA III's theme is criminally underrated. My second favourite GTA theme (IV being my number 1 pick). Beautiful cover!
GTA III Theme is just art and with that additional trumpet just wow 😍 I wish GTA III would have a jazz radio station
I've underestimated the trumpet all my life, but when I heard that solo, i realized how wrong I was.
Brother, never underestimate the trumpet. Any good electro swing artist will teach you that (Klischée, Caravan Palace and Deluxe are all amazing bands, check em out)
the fact that he defeated rockstar games by adding that trumpet is such a magnificent achievement!
Now we just need Vice City, Liberty City Stories, Vice City Stories, The Lost and Damn, and The Ballad of Gay Tony and we’ll have all the 3D ones.
Last two are part of the HD universe.
We also need GTA 1, 2, Chinatown wars, advance, and London 1969.
Love the Lap dulcimer in there. Beautiful tone on it.
Love that saxophone added in, it really adds to the liberty city atmosphere in the early 2000's🎉
Best RUclipsr alert
The level of detail in this is amazing. I have bought some expensive hifi headphones (cambridge audio) just to listen to his videos
The fact that Rockstar themselves somehow found an orchestra and had this piece created over 20 years ago for a video games where you run around and kill hookers kinda blows my stupid mind.
Ooh boy this is going to be a banger!
favourite gta game, favourite theme. I just love it
I know GTA San Andreas has an amazing intro, and this GTA is on another level, but GTA Vice City... that’s in a league of its own.
This takes me back. GTA3 was so fun.
Daaamn !! So incredible that you didn't even only put the GTA 3 spirit in the instruments. The video is really AMAZING !
Mind-blowing job bro ! ✌
Jazzy vibes , very cool!
I have seen a lot of people of my years of watching youtube and this guy's the best handmaid recreator of g t a music i've seen yet
I remember as a kid launching and quitting the game repeatedly to listen to this theme. Who knows, maybe it's this game that planted the seed that years later would blossom into my love for jazz music. Your rework is magnificent.
Such an underrated theme. Thank you for making
How does bro make these so fast???? It's crazy 😮
So fast? GTA 3 came out in 2001, his cover is kinda late 🤣
Lol

The hype is real
Yes
gta 3's theme song always feels like a dream when the strings kick in
Peut-être la meilleure version qu'il m'ait été donnée d'écouter.
Thank you so much for this. It's a personal favorite from one of the first games I played in my life.
Best GTA soundtrack of them all

Can you do Outer Wilds music? You should beat the game first, but it would sound so amazing! Outer Wilds has some of the best soundtrack of all time
excellent sound, excellent choreography and insane amount of hard work = a Masterpiece My favorite channel from today is InsatrumentManiac
LOVE THIS!!! GTA 3 has such a smooth theme I love it
Beautiful and tragic with a rainier vibe.
Love is grey in Liberty City.
It's to live or die for.
Amazing cover. ^^
This is my favorite GTA theme, followed by Vice City
I just love this heart theme. It might be my favorite! I don't know how to describe it, it's so simple and beautiful, but at the same time melancholic and decadent. It perfectly conveys the Liberty City vibe. It would definitely be a song I would play in a rooftop cafe on a cloudy rainy day.

What a vibe! The brush on the drums gives such a nice crunchy sound but with an acoustic feel. Nice job!
Thanks Shea!

Les gooo, gta series on your channel is one of my favorite!
I genuinely enjoy your version more than the original. That trumpet addition is just perfect.
Please release it on Spotify… this is just pure perfection! Thank you so much for that amazing piece of music. Brings back so many memories :-)
Aint no way he got every pitch tune and sound like 99% perfect. This is awsome. U got a subscriber

Can't even imagine how many hours it took to master so many instruments. Hard work pays off always. Great work!
Way better than the original the mix is insane thats some high quality work
I always thought that the short brass notes at the start were meant to be reminiscent of old-timey car klaxons, GTA largely being a "car game".
"Mmm... that was magnificent. A very emotional piece."
GTA III is like no other. It has a special place in my heart. Thank you very much for this masterpiece!
Perfect as always ❤
I love Jazz and GTA 3's theme will always be my favorite. What an amazing cover, kudos!
Man, you're just about the best musical discovery I've made on RUclips since Squidphysics ♥Thanks for all your covers ^^
One day we'll perhaps get GTAVI theme? Excited to see how that one's gonna be
Damn, I never was nostalgic for 3 the same way I was for Vice City, but this changes that.

i am still amazed how many instrumental masterpiece have been lined up by gaming industry. this title song still feels so real.

That's all, have a good day :D
Delightful, you did this theme complete justice. Absolute bliss!
