    Final Fantasy 7 is for sure one of the greatest video games of all time. And the Final Fantasy 7 OST is no exception. There are so many Final Fantasy Remix choices out there. Tifa's theme worked out so well on guitar and I'm glad I decided to do a video game remix on the old acoustic of it. FF7 will always be a classic, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to share in some of the glory of this video game series.
    If you want more video game covers on the classical guitar like this one, TABS, and general acoustic remix shredding, this is the place spot for all your video game guitar covers needs. Smack a sub. Smack a bell. Smack yourself.

    This hits so beautifully. I was a young man when FF7 came out in 1997. Had my whole life in front of me. Now I am an old man wondering where all the time went. Thank you for taking me back to a special time, even just for a little while.

    Know what this song feels like? It's like going back to your hometown only to find out the things you've loved have started to fade away. The tree where you and the kids gather to play, the starry skies you can no longer see, that favorite spot at the rooftop where you used to take your alone time when you needed it and even the people themselves whom you're unsure if you'll ever meet again. You've grown, you've grown apart the things in the past which built you who you are today are changing. And now some very dear things you've treasured burned to the ground, all the hard work, all the love, care and effort you put just to make your dreams come true. The smiles you've made and shared with everyone along the way all gone. They're all in the past now. Once again, you grow, you look up, you smile and think "I'll treasure these memories, for as long as I still have these memories we are all still together". Still, you take comfort in the fact that there is still hope, then as you gain another hint of strength you press forward.

    I didn't play FF7 on my childhood (I grew up with a N64). I just finished it two weeks ago on Switch, and is not only the first FF I played, but also my first J-RPG to 100% completed.
    Since I don't have any nostalgic connection to the game and the genre, I can confirm that FF7 is not only great game, but also one of the best games I've ever played with some of the best music ever composed.

    @kjaamor2057 2 года назад +4

    One of the things I really like about Sam's playing compared to other people doing similar covers, is that he gets the note weighting absolutely spot on. A lot of RUclipsrs who play video game music on guitar tend to play the pieces with a consistent note weighting and it makes it sound - somewhat ironically - like it is being played by a computer. With Sam it feels like the notes and timing are exactly as they are in the original pieces rather than exactly on the measure and exactly the same weighting. It's really evident here when the main melody kicks in and the bass notes are just resting underneath rather than getting equal punch. Obviously it's a less emotional piece, but Sam totally nailed this when he did the Super Mario 2 theme; which was not only hyper-technical but absolutely cock-on in the note weighting.
