    Hey there! It's been some time since I last arranged a track from FF VII, but I've gotten a lot of requests for this classic. Arranging it was a pleasure and really brought me back to my first time playing the game. I can't wait for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to come out, especially after how much I enjoyed Remake. And I'm also super excited for FF XVI, of course. Thanks for listening, and take care!

    I remember when this song plays for the first time (correct me if I’m wrong) while your exploring the rollercoaster-like train tracks. The song is so full of warmth, and really complimented the sense of companionship you had with the characters at this stage. You more than do the song justice. Thanks for sharing.

      That section of the game is what you played on the PC-only Demo of FF7. I remember it took me a really long time to save up enough allowance to actually buy the game and I played the demo dozens and dozens of times.

    Very nostalgic. This is the most memorable piece from FF7. Your renditions and arrangements always sound incredibly beautiful and fluent, as if the pieces were meant for the classical guitar, yet never lose the spirit of the originals, but rather enhance it. Thank you, John 😊

    • @JohnOethGuitar

      @@Aya_Albion I can completely say, it's worth it! By now I can play Corey's arrangement. And I'm beginning to feel confident about what I do on my ukes. I've started in late 2018 and have been playing ever since. A lot of inspiration on RUclips. A local regulars group does help, too, in the beginning.
      And - for me - it was much easier to start with than guitar.
