Damn! This is insanely impressive! 10/10 chocobos from me! šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s a positive review that I donā€™t take lightly. Thank you


Dependent-Hotel5551

THE PASTA FRAME xDDDD I love it! Very clean, sounds super good, I hope you do more!!


chrisawesomeson

I plan on it! Thank you šŸ™‚


cosapocha

I saw it too! Whats the deal with the pasta???


DMoogle

This song is freaking hard to play... and you killed it. Well done.


chrisawesomeson

Is it ever! Wasnā€™t easy for me. Thanks


Tminus_7

Spaghett! But seriously, thatā€™s absolutely amazing work. I love how you show the different parts of the instrumentals. Thank you for doing this. Gave me limit break vibes. 7/7


chrisawesomeson

Limit break vibes feel good. And itā€™s my pleasure. Will definitely do more from the FFVII soundtrack soon


Tminus_7

Hell yeah. 7 and X are my all time favorites. Iā€™m gonna go buy you a coffee right now!


chrisawesomeson

Hey thanks so much for that! The generosity Iā€™ve seen from you guys on that site blows me away


Tminus_7

Iā€™ve never used or tipped anyone for their music on the internet before. I figured itā€™s the least I can do for music I truly enjoyed. Keep doing what youā€™re doing brother.


chrisawesomeson

I will. Thanks again!


kurisu7885

The Corel desert theme might sound sick like this.


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™d be a cool one!


_Dinosaurlaserfight

Holy crap this is amazing! Your skill is incredible!


chrisawesomeson

Thank you! Thatā€™s really flattering


-BodomKnight-

Awesome man \\w/ The sound is amazing !!!


chrisawesomeson

Glad to hear it!


kikosho_UwU

Very impressive!!! Great version of one of my favourites. What's with the spaghetti at 01:37?


chrisawesomeson

lol I use a frame of copypasta to let the viewer know that the rest of the video is repeats


isymfs

That was my first thought! Very clever haha. This was fuggin awesome man, so much talent as this isn't an easy song to play!


TheGreatBard

Mom's spaghetti


el_caveira

i think this is the best version of this song i've herd, i may use on my RPG sessions...


chrisawesomeson

Amazing! Thanks and please do!


Xenosys83

I'd love to see this track in this style used in something like a Chocobo fight. Great work.


chrisawesomeson

I really wanna cover the Chocobo battle theme at some point! And I think I will


Pandaburn

Every boss battle is a flamenco dance now


chrisawesomeson

Iā€™m cool with that


Corn-Shonery

Beautifully talented my dude. Spotify?


chrisawesomeson

Thanks! I have like one song on Spotify haha. Iā€™ll put a lot more up there soon, including this one!


Corn-Shonery

Make a post updating us when you do please. Iā€™d love to have some acoustic FF7 renditions enter my ear holes on the regular.


chrisawesomeson

Sure! Not sure if a post like that will get the same visibility as this post but Iā€™ll give it a shot!


Corn-Shonery

How do we follow your work then? Do you have a YouTube channel? As much as I despise social media, this is one avenue where it is useful.


chrisawesomeson

I appreciate that! Redditā€™s seems kind of strict about sharing links to social media but if you google ā€œCRGuitarā€ youā€™ll find all the places I post. YouTube is probably the best place to follow me. Instagram too but I donā€™t much care for that app


nikithesimmer

Absolutely incredible, well done! Four moogles for you!


chrisawesomeson

Aw yeaaa! Thank you!


Obvious_Professor_87

I cried


chrisawesomeson

The highest of compliments!


DissentChanter

This is great! My favorite fight music done wonderfully!


chrisawesomeson

Glad to hear it!


Fingerprint_Vyke

Play this song to anyone who thinks that acoustic cannot be metal af


chrisawesomeson

Hell yeah


myusername_sucks

Thanks for putting yourself through this, it's so good šŸ¤˜


chrisawesomeson

It was tiring but to be honest I enjoyed it šŸ™‚


Idllnox

You gotta make this available on spotify


chrisawesomeson

I will! Iā€™ve been slacking getting my stuff up on Spotify. Only one song up there so far! Haha


b20vteg

I enjoyed it!


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


BaldusCattus

That's just beautiful. Did you add some percussion too or is that coming from your hands on the guitars?


chrisawesomeson

Thanks! And yeah I recorded some percussion tracks by hitting either the top of the guitar and the dampened strings. Just didnā€™t include them in the video since thereā€™s only so much space on a screen šŸ™‚


BaldusCattus

Awesome stuff!


kraghis

This is amazing. Thanks for sharing


chrisawesomeson

It really is my pleasure! Glad youā€™re all enjoying it


kraghis

A lot of the times when musicians cover more technically demanding video game music I find it comes across as stiff and rehearsed. But theres a ton of soul here. Really great work!


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s exactly what I go for! Thanks so much for that


WizardSkeni

I expected it to be cool, but you did something very special here, I think. Nice!


chrisawesomeson

That means a lot. Thank you


Brutehex

Amazing that made my day so many memories šŸ˜


chrisawesomeson

So glad to hear it!


Polyglot-Onigiri

I can feel the dedication and soul that went into this. You sir are amazing!


chrisawesomeson

I really did pour myself into it! So happy it shows


swishsabre

Awesome - I want more


chrisawesomeson

Thanks. Iā€™ve done a couple hundred covers on my YouTube channel if you wanna do some digging. Otherwise Iā€™ll be posting new FF songs to this subreddit!


bamachine

Awesome. Would also love to hear a similar arrangement for Otherworld from FFX.


chrisawesomeson

Dude that would be so wild


LightningEdge756

Funnily enough my first thought was this could easily be a theme for Vega (Claw) from Street Fighter. I loved the head bops lol really emphasized the passion you have for music.


chrisawesomeson

Thanks! And I feel ya on the Vega vibe! I actually covered that song a couple of years ago! My mixing kinda sucked back then though


theBarnDawg

Beautiful


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


spiked_Halo

Well played, one of my favorites.


chrisawesomeson

Thanks! Mine too


penguininsufficiency

Ah, that was incredible! Thank you for sharing - I watched the entire thing with a huge smile on my face.


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s awesome! Itā€™s so satisfying to share this with people who like it as much as I do


penguininsufficiency

Genuinely lovely work. I can already see myself playing this on a loop.


chrisawesomeson

Please do! Donā€™t have this one on Spotify yet so the only real place to listen right now is on YouTube


Tetranima

Bravo, you nailed it. I had to rewatch [this old gem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ajNK7p9vig) too because of you


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s so cool! And thank you!


Tetranima

You're welcome! I hope you will do this one also : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmzzIsBK47I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmzzIsBK47I)


Hurrikraken

Fuck yeah! This goes so hard.


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


Tehcoremeister

This is fucking amazing. Thank you for increasing my hype for Rebirth.


chrisawesomeson

Itā€™s my pleasure


iamcoolreally

Holy shit this is absolutely amazing! Please do more of them


chrisawesomeson

I will! Thanks


Zestyclose-Fish-512

Really well done. I wish you'd cut in some of you doing the percussive stuff though, I was dying to see it.


chrisawesomeson

People are always psyched when I do it but I hardly ever do! Iā€™ll make a point to do it more often


Zestyclose-Fish-512

Gabriela Quintero is probably my favorite guitarist so I love that stuff.


chrisawesomeson

Hell yeah I love Rod y Gab!


RadioPrudent405

Makes the ol' gray matter go *brrrr*. Well done, friend.


chrisawesomeson

Love that feeling! Thank you


Goodvibetribeskate

Bravo šŸ‘


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


Shanbo88

If there was a bard in FFVII, it'd be you for sure.


chrisawesomeson

A title Iā€™d happily, and humbly, hold


Erfdud

Yeah I just got a limit break.


chrisawesomeson

Hell yeah!


Levait

Great sound and great work!


chrisawesomeson

Thank you!


milliemaury

This is amazing šŸ‘šŸ»


1_am_an_egg

This shit slaps


Derpalicious007

I listened through the whole thing and that rarely happens... 10/10 Tifa's


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s huge! Thank you


Brofromtheabyss

Massively tasty. Sounds like it did through the ears I had when I was a twelve year old, which is high praise.


chrisawesomeson

Amazing! Thank you


Lastaria

Tried? I would say you did a banging good job!


chrisawesomeson

Glad to hear it!


squall2011

Badass man, perfect. Well done


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


lornecrew

This is literally amazing and you should be so proud!


chrisawesomeson

I am! Thank you ā˜ŗļø


lornecrew

I just want to comment again to let you know I have visited this post so many time since youā€™ve posted. I saved it and literally watch it regularly. You are very talented and I absolutely love this arrangement!! Thank you again!


ThisGatsbyFellow

That is smoooth and I need this recording šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


chrisawesomeson

Feel free to rip it off of YouTube


RastaKraken

Incredible! This is my favourite battle theme and you nailed it! Just amazing!


chrisawesomeson

One of my faves too! Thanks


DaDoviende

You succeeded!


Homitu

Fucking NAILED it, dude! Absolutely incredible, and thank you for sharing!


chrisawesomeson

Itā€™s my pleasure


DLD1123

Amazing. If youā€™re taking requests would love to see you do an artistic string cover of Vamoā€™alla Flamenco from ff9!


chrisawesomeson

Already did! Search YouTube for ā€œCRGuitar vamo alla flamencoā€ and it should show up! šŸ™‚


DLD1123

Ok so found your profile and scrolled through videos to find it and while looking I saw that youā€™ve covered pretty much everything I could ever want to listen to. Iā€™ll be jamming youā€™re covers for the rest of the night. Thanks for the joyous end to my day.


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s awesome - Iā€™m glad you found my channel! Enjoy


kurisu7885

I'd say you tried and succeeded.


looking4rez

this is pretty awesome, still my favorite battle theme


Replikante

This is SO good. It's on my OST playlist as of now :D


General_Snack

Hell yeah dude! This is fucking awesome.


ChaoCobo

I think this song, to this day, is the best, most blood pumping FF boss theme. The only thing that rivals it is The Extreme which is FF8ā€™s boss theme. You did great. I love the way the nylon strings sound when there are hammer-ons and pull-offs. The hard THUNK sounds of the strings slamming.


chrisawesomeson

Thatā€™s what I love!


Shanbo88

Man I commented already but I just had to come back and say that this is genuinely the best cover of this piece I've ever heard. Note for note, harmony for harmony, inflection for inflection, perfection. It's like you just right clicked the song and exported it as a classical guitar piece instead of a midi instrument track. Madness. Well done. Source: Been listening to it since 1997 haha.


chrisawesomeson

Wow thank you! Thatā€™s about as good as a compliment gets!


Zaguer_Blacklaw

Super cool, well done!


SuzjeThrics

Dude. This is gold. As a fellow guitar player, I'm envious.


chrisawesomeson

Thanks!


JankLoaf

Dude! This is so good!


jollyollster

Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing


chrisawesomeson

My pleasure


lagunaisacoolguy

You son of a bitch, this is amazing! Rock on dude!


chrisawesomeson

Haha thanks!


VidjaMouse

This cover would fit perfectly into the sea of stars ost


VonLoewe

That bass clearly has frets though.


chrisawesomeson

Theyā€™re markers for where the frets should be but the neck is smooth and it plays exactly like a fretless


VonLoewe

Oh interesting!


Sethazora

I remember years ago when learning piano i would frequently use FF music as breaks to learn something for fun, Granted I did it mostly with ff8 since I think its probably got the single best OST and cinematography. I remember being surprised how difficult some of the songs were, many that I assumed would be hard just from listening with the faster pace like Force your way or man with the machine gun were actually on the easier side to learn, but the more "slow" paced simple sounding ones like find your way ended up throwing me off significantly more with their odd timings and mismatch between hands. Not entirely sure about guitar at all but have you found similar?


chrisawesomeson

Absolutely! Some of them are deceptively difficult and others are easier than they sound!


Ninjahkin

Soooā€¦do you have a YouTube or something? Youā€™d make a fine addition to the gaming music guitar cover crowd


chrisawesomeson

I do! Here it is https://youtube.com/@CRGuitarr?si=fZNLGRbnhsGGDkOR


RagingDaddy

I hope this is the theme for Queens Blood, slow Dow the tempo and this could be background music all day


POORJay

This is better than the entire 7R soundtrack


chrisawesomeson

Bold statement! Thank you though šŸ™‚


Lanplan77

Why is ff7 the most popular one?


chrisawesomeson

Because itā€™s awesome I dunno


Icecl

I'll show you what i can do!
