would anyone be interested if I were to potentially make tabs for this??
(also please comment let me know what else you wanna see me cover!!)
Could you please do [Godzilla] by Akira Ifukube
It would be cool since the timing would be close to the premiere of Godzilla vs Kong
Honestly? Anything from Library of Ruina! All of the Floor of Language tracks are already metal, but a metal take on, say, Iron Lotus, Angela’s battle theme, or Hod’s third floor theme would be cool.
EDIT: The full version of Ice’s Parodia Sonatina (or any of the insane tracks from Deemo, like ANiMA, Leviathan, or Entrance) and the remastered Intense Chase from Zero no Kiseki would be cool too! I just wanna see more pieces from less popular games.
Could you do a cover of Silius fractured by The Word of Lawder
If you made tabs for this then I would hurt myself practicing
Beethoven is windmill headbanging in his grave rn
^^^ Can we get someone to animate this?
now you do XD
Metal AF!!
H
I NEED a crossover with you two. Got my fingers crossed for Passacaglia on Violin and Viola by Handel 💜
10/10 also the thumbnail looks like one of those Lo'Real hair advertisements
💅✨
💅✨
LOL
hey Jonathan since we're in classical music territory, I feel like you could do an amazing thing out of Mozart's requiem, especially Confutatis and Domine Jesu
H
Dude, just.... how
I love your Music ^^
hhhhhhhhhjhhhhhhhhhhhhjhghj
CROSSOVER PLEASE
hands broke
typing with face now

Ludwig, The Accursed And Holy Composer feat. Rich, Host of The Virtuosism
All jokes aside, Beethoven would absolutely lose his shit if he could only see this.
@@AlexMoukalaMusic Just Imagine any classical composer seeing all the tools and instruments we have to make music today. They'd be in absolute heaven.
Fear the old blood!
@@AlexMoukalaMusic
Good thing you didn’t say if he could only hear this.
Is that a motherfreaking Bloodborne reference ?
I love the fact that most of the classical songs sounds really great on metal
That's the whole concept behind neoclassical shred, it's pretty sick.
classical music is a precursor to most music. A side effect of that is that classical music is downwards compatible with most other music genres. And a side effect of that is producers taking the classical music and respining it with their decoration on top.
yt video: "Pachelbel Rant" shows it well
Isn't that the entire basis of Castlevania OSTs?
If I recall some study found that the closest genre in composition in todays popular music was melodic death metal so it#s really not that complicated imo, yet again, that might jus tbe a false rumor I've read somewhere.
@JaysonSR Makes you wonder what Beethoven would have written if he was around today and still had his hearing given that this piece works so well on metal.
Beethoven was never a classic, guys. He was just so far ahead of his time that he brought metal back from the future.
Metal actually has a lot of origins from classical music. Especially if you break down and analyze some of the early bands like Black Sabbath. You can tell they have a major influence from classical music.
@@Nubsta5 All you need to do is look at power metal, neoclassical metal, some tech death metal has classical parts.
@@DannyR121
And then it comes full circle with symphonic and orchestral metal.
“I'm limited by the technology of my time, but one day you'll figure this out. And when you do, you will change the world.”
Listening to this without looking at the "time left" bar on RUclips there's about six times where I think "Surely he'll be released from this hell he's locked himself in" and then I'm like oh right classical music doesn't know how to end and we're ALL THE BETTER FOR IT! Amazing shit, my dude!
Dang. This is the best cover of the piece I’ve heard on guitar. Loved the little embellishments you add. This arrangement strikes the perfect balance of staying true to the original while adding a taste of something new imho. Also can’t ignore the sick playing. Thanks for sharing.
glad you like it!!!
Dr. Viossy's version still reigns as the best imo
ya'll need to watch the legendary Tina S cover smh
@@BlackRainRaven was about to say, hers hits different 🤣
Check The Human Abstract's cover!
GREAT HAM HAM HEARTBREAK COVER
Beethoven was alive his powdered wig would be popping off
Beethoven and a powdered wig?
@@renater.540"☝️🤓 pOwDeReD WiG, hOw cOuLd oNe EvEr mAkE sUcH a MyStiFyiNg bLuNdEr?!"
They didn't know that Beethoven didn't wear powdered wigs and you couldn't see the joke... Pls shut up.
only cause he's headbanging
The craziest part is that this is actually the 80% tempo version that most people normally play... but Beethoven also originally wrote it even faster than this.
You kidding?
In RUclips's playback speed, how fast was it?
I even find hard to believe this can be played at that speed.
@@_Reikiiro 1.25x perfectly, actually. You're welcome.
@@worldwritere-cat6603 nice, thanks!
Are your fingers okay Rich!?
This is seriously impressive!!
a bueno vengase
😭😭😭 Seriously, how are his fingers not ribbons after this? *UNREAL!!* 🔥🔥🔥
Forearms of fire as well
He just covered a virtuoso's masterful composition on guitar and nailed it, this is a lot crazier than people take it for.
sup...
everywhere I go I see you or your clone with a mustache
Lol one does not simply play Moonlight Sonata 3. Ever
We meet again
Ah, even here
That third movement is something else, isn’t it, it’s like 200 years ahead of it’s time.
No, it was a stroke of genius.
Beethoven was very ahead of his time in general, even as the guy that sort of bridged the gap between the classical and romantic eras his harmonic technique and ability to write sophisticated but catchy melodies really shines hard.
@@Pattamatt1998 Beethoven was the original metal musician
Like lightning in a bottle, out of a blue sky.
@@combativeThinker very true
"RichaadEB wishes to abandon his attachment to worldly concerns like fingers and covers one of the most difficult classical pieces " The Video
This is definitely your most "shut up and listen" piece. Got chills, bravissimo!
"Tales say that the moon bewitches man, yet in reality, it is the man that despairs at the moon."
Which LC story is this?
Ayyy, La Luna
Never thought I would be reading this here
So fitting though
@@leviwinchester1097 Llanto de La Luna
I’m a dumbo what’s LC?
Hands down top 3 WAW
I feel kind of dumb for not thinking that you'd go _this_ hard on this song.
I think you've achieved peak virtuosity here, holy hell man.
The GOAT played by the GOAT
❤️
"What should we use for the background? A moon? A Beethoven reference? A melting piano?"
"Nothing. All black to represent the death of every muscle fiber in my fingers, hands, and arms."
"... How?!"
"He is the One..."
He is beginning to believe.
This is beautiful! Just casually dj0nting Moonlight Sonata at 3:46 too lol! I like how you added all these sections of your own. 6:03 felt like a cadenza where the soloist would just let loose 200% haha! The film crackle spots in the video are such a cool detail too! Mastapeeace
Moonlight sonata??? This is Brahms hungarian dance!!!!
Damn this dude playing guitar 😳
Aaaaand we've got another proof that metal is just classical music reborn.
With some retitling you could pass this off as See Jim Run from Earthworm Jim 2
Hey, Tommy Tallarico used this same song!
He even used the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata in the Villi People stage! Tommy Tallarico must've been a massive fan of the piece.
This is mind-blowing Rich
If Beethoven was a final boss of a video game.
"Let's hope you MEASURE up, because the tempo's increasing, and I'm about to get Violin-t!"
*Metal Version of Moonlight Sonata begins to play
@@proYEEThean take my like you hilarious bastard
That would be an awesome game lol
@@proYEEThean his weapon would be moonlight greatsword for sure
His 3rd phase
And then Rich hibernated to let all of his energy go into repairing his shredded fingers.
For this final stage, Beethoven's body, which you previously thought you had slain, shakes, his head jerks up, revealing two yellow glowing eyes. His corpse, now reincarnated, levitates into the air, followed by a volley of classical instruments all sharpened at one point. The earth you once stood on falls away, the single chunk of ground with which your feet are planted rises to the stratosphere as the moon gets ever closer, turning beethoven into but a silhouette against it. The fight begins
I'm sold! Someone please make that into a game ^^
Sounds like the Nyx fight in Persona 3
Is this more tuba warriors lore? Because it should be.
@@danieldietz8292 the final boss fight. The composer of legend, the conducter of the cosmos, THE VIRTUOSO. the last battle begins
As for music, maybe it should from transition classical to metal? The early bossfight is fully classical, then slowly more metal elements emerge as Ludwig The Composer tries to annihilate you.
He shredded Moonlight Sonata so hard that even Beethoven heard it
Holy shit let’s goooooooo!!!! God the third movement is such a fuckin jam
i love how natural this song sounds in a metal setting, it just FEELS right to hear
The technical mastery behind this piece is incredible. As much as I enjoy all of your other music, the prowess behind this shows so much more.
Listening to this, my mental theater came up with the story of a 17th century composer who was turned into a vampire and went into hiding until he discovered the electric guitar centuries later. After reliving his mortal glory days once more, this time as a legendary guitarist, he has no choice but to fake his own death and go back into hiding since his makeup can no longer cover the fact he doesn't age. He rewatches videos of his work on the internet, reminiscing of the time he felt alive again.
Weed is a wonderful drug.
nah you're good :)
Sounds cool
You should definitely do a classical series, like the soulsborne and touhou series’ you’ve done. I’d want to see some Chopin especially
Yes! Would love to hear a metal version of the Fantaisie-Impromptu!
Hell yeah😊
I kinda wanna hear a Liszt/Paganini 'La Campanella' cover
I wanna see him cover Op 9 No. 2.
@@aspenm2576 oh god
*sigh* Metal and Classical composition... a match made in Heaven (and Hell)
Iv been having a really shit birthday and this made it immediately better
Thank you RichaardEB
(P.s)I'm counting this as my birthday present
Merry Birthmas and happy anniversary of making it out of your mother's womb.
congratulations, you have aged
ay happy bday brother, hope everything gets better for you man
Happy Birthday. I hope things get better for you, man.
Ayy happy birthday man! Hope everything gets better!
I jam at the music while crying for his fingers.
What a display of prowess. Amazing work.
Normies: "Slipknot and Metallica are hardcore! Nothing can beat their speed and intensity!"
RichaadEB: *casually does a metal cover of a sonata from 200 years earlier*
Legit who the actual hell ever said Metallica was unbeatable in speed or intensity
@@whiteface513abandonedchann8 probably someone that heard fight fire with fire or damage inc
@@Gabrostil don't get me wrong, I love damn near everything they've done, but... _what?_
@@whiteface513abandonedchann8 these songs are fast idk, maybe the person don't know a lot of bands
proceeds to hear a mashup of fire and flames with this
this is simultaneously ridiculously impressive and also probably what beethoven would write the song for if he was alive today. bravo
I'm more than certain Beethoven would've absolutely shredded if he had the technology then what we have now.
He would have thoroughly enjoyed that
I have no doubt that a modern day clone of ol' Ludwig would go straight into metal.
Finally, a piece i can share with my mainstream friends
I love Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement. It's one of my favorite classical music pieces along with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Can Can".
That moment you realize that Ludwig was secretly a metalhead this entire time and no one from 200 years ago knew that
This is a true F A C E M E L T E R
"the toughest piece of music I've ever covered on guitar"
How much tougher than Through the Fire and Flames?
Beethoven was the virtuoso writer of his day. Moonlight sonata movement 3 is world renowned as an insanely difficult piece
Through the Fire and Flames isn't as hard as people seems to think
@@gui6881 yup.
@@gui6881 its just really fast isn't it? not very complicated?
@@thefilthiestofcasuals6565 it's more of a speed and endurance thing than complicated.
i thought it was going to be classical guitar, but then the drums and electric slapped me in the face, spit on me, and told me im stupid. I LOVE IT!!!
I do love me some classic metal
You can still technically call this a video game cover as it’s in Earthworm Jim 2
Sometimes I wonder what classical composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Grieg would think about things like this...
Would they be delighted that their work is still beloved and cherished by young people over 300 years later - or would they be horrified like parents in the 1950s when their kids were listening to Rock'n'roll for the frist time...
If Beethoven was born today, he would totally be a metal head.
Today, I witnessed a masterpiece reborn.
Was always so intimidated by this song, but I bet learning it would teach a lot of theory and technique.
You killed it! Rock on, Rich! :D
Aaah yes my favorite classical piece of music : bloodmoon Sonata
You fucking nailed that solo at the end there! That's the most satisfying part of the song, and I hate when musicians skimp on it. Well done!
At first I thought the description said "toughest piece of music I've ever CONQUERED on guitar."
...after listening, I think that would have worked, too.
Just when I thought I couldn't be any more impressed by Rich.
"This is easily the toughest piece of music I've ever covered on guitar." *Proceeds to make it look effortless as well as sound rad as all hell*
Seriously, seriously impressive man.
Excellently done, as always. I have always had a soft spot for classical music, especially this particular movement of "Moonlight Sonata," so it is definitely an immediate favorite in my books.
You managed to follow the original rhythm extremely closely, while still having your own style imposed upon it where appropriate - which did a great job of making it more enjoyable.
greatest of all time
Honestly this is one of the best interpretations I've heard. You managed to capture its energy and drive and transform it into break-neck whirlwind of kinetic energy. Masterfully done!
Holy shit
Do more classicals, wtf. This was legit one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
What a huge flex of skill! Well done, RichaadEB!
They said it couldn’t be done, they called him a madman...
I read this at the perfect timing
I read this at perfect time too, what a coincidence
This was way more impressive than I thought it was going to be. The complexity of that song was insane. Beethoven would be proud.
You're a beautiful maniac for having it in you to pull this off so incredibly.
Dude...This was freakin' insane. I'm already impressed on the shredding but managing to also have some the sick harmonic changes in here is amazing. Bravo!
That shit gave me chills and nearly made me cry 11/10
Dude, I'm pretty sure this qualifies you as a virtuoso.
This is so epic, my favorite video
Gotta say man, this is easily the best guitar cover of any classical music piece I have thus far. Well done! I can't stop listening to it.
This brings me back to when classical music rock cover were very popular on YT.
You should do more classical covers like this, there are very few at this quality level.
And here I was thinking through the fire and the flames was ridiculous... Damn... This is just, so cool, but so impossible. Brain can't handle it, too awesome.
Frickin' amazing.
This is such a brutal flex dude. Bravo.
That fingerwork is actually insane.
This the only electric guitar cover of this piece I've heard that I actually liked, phenomenal work.
You should listen to the cover from the band "Exmortus" it's pretty similar and phenomenal too
I was not expecting to love this so much. Holy shit rich you have such a talent for these grand orchestral style arrangements.
I had to double-check my playback speed on this one. Yep, still at 1x. Awesome work!
Rich, this is such an incredible take on Moonlight Sonata (3rd Movement) I've seen a lot of versions but yours stands out so damn much! The tone, how clean it all just sounds and how well it flows! Watching this a month ago inspired me to pickup guitar again after a year off it! It feels all so natural again, to be fair it didn't take long to get back in the swing of things... But thank you man! Much love from England
absolute banger mr richardson. would love to hear a version with just the lead guitar
Toughest thing you've ever covered on guitar you say... THANK YOU for doing it, we all say! Can't stop listening to this today. Those arpeggios came off *so* smooth, man.
This is absolutely barbaric!! Well done mate, 100/10
This level of technical prowess is really inspiring, I can't stop listening to this! It makes me think, "I want to be as good at something as this"
Dude...I thought everything you played on this channel was amazing. But this...
This is insanity. You are incredible. You've truly reached a whole new level of guitar playing.
Wow... Just wow, man... (listening for the sixth time).
God, this is great. I’ve always wanted to hear classical music in your style, and you’ve blown past my expectations! Thanks for another awesome cover, my man!
Please never stop doing what you do
This was amazing.
Comment for the algorithm god.
Bleep bloop
MY GODS! That was ludicrously complicated! You my friend are master of the strings!
i was so blown away in the first few seconds, this is amazing holy FUCK
Jesus Christ goosebumps through out the whole thing. Keep up the awesome ass work man!
I honestly don't know which impressed me more: the greatness of your rendition or the stunning technical work. I am simply amazed.
The Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement is my favorite classical music piece. Even as a kid, when I heard it, my first thought was "this would be played in a rock style".
Years have passed. Guitar masters, started playing it.
I've listened to many versions ( 20 at least ).
THIS IS THE BEST!
That is some next level stuff. Real, real, REAL kudos!
I should've found and clicked on this video a week ago. Amazing.
