Lufia - Fortress of Doom (harmonized guitars)

[topflight408]

I can see this was done a while ago but I just saw it now .....awesome hate to use the word but I must say that was Epic

[Sogan8]

f****** amazing :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Sogan8 thanks sogan!

[NarutoOwnsU]

I started to replay chrono trigger, FFVI, lufia 1 and 2, and all the oldschool breath of fires, and star oceans. I am 25 years old, and those games are still the greatest. Come to think of it, you should do the battle theme song for Breath of fire 2 and 3

[Amad24pr]

I think ive commented this vid before but i need to do it again, this is incredible. Its probably my fav video game song and certainly my fav remix it. Awesome.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Amad24pr Well I'm honored that you like it that much!

[NarutoOwnsU]

you sir have insane tastes for RPG games. I play the same as you

[sweetsweepbeat]

@NarutoOwnsU ahahaha sweet man! What's the last one you played?

[BaDproductions9594]

the eyebrow raise at the end (left screen) was funny :D

anyway, great job :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

@BaDproductions9594 LOL I didn't remember doing that ahaha. thanks for commenting!

[stoffe1100]

Ohh, Great job :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

@stoffe1100 thanks alot!

[HaiiroKage]

outstanding!!!

btw. green FTW!

[sweetsweepbeat]

@HaiiroKage Well thanks!

ahahah I know right :P

[MiraiGen]

Wow. Thank you so much for this. Us Lufia fans are a dying breed.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@MiraiGen Yeah probably and with the new lufia games they push at us, it won't make many new fan....UNLESS they check the retro stuff out ;)

[PathOfTheWolf]

o_O!

[sweetsweepbeat]

@PathOfTheWolf good or bad? ahaaha

[PathOfTheWolf]

@sweetsweepbeat o.O! usaly means good xD like very very good :D love it :) 

[LordIronfist]

The Fortress of Doom theme is an awesome piece of music. Putting the Metal into it just makes it that much more awesome...I'm sure the Sinistrals approve.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@LordIronfist They approved till I wooped their ass off :D

[Jazzypants2007]

@LordIronfist "I'm Daos, the Sinistral of Terror, and I approve this remix."

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Jazzypants2007 Thumbs up for Daos!

[neoasura]

Very very awesome and creative remix/arrangement to one of the best songs in VGM history.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@neoasura Well thanks alot pal!

[NateMcCloud]

You brought a tear to my eye, your playing is so powerful!

[sweetsweepbeat]

@NateMcCloud ahahahah man don't go all emotional on me! haahah just joking! thanks for the comment ;)

[JosephCollins]

This is STILL freaking awesome. In fact, I take back what I said a year ago about "the lead-up not doing it justice". Since I've been listening to this in WinAMP now and again, I've really enjoyed it more and more! I guess my initial reaction was based on the fact I'd never considered the song a piece for guitars.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@JosephCollins well I thank you for being honest. And I guess any piece can be considered for any instrument if it's put the right way...don't you think? I'm happy you do like it too :D

[mattinpekin12]

do you have this in download form? you are awesome!

[sweetsweepbeat]

@mattinpekin12 Sorry not at the moment. I might do a full page of download one day if I keep getting asked about it.

[mattinpekin12]

awesome simply awesome!!!!! do you have this on CD or MD3??? also...do you have a webpage w/ more of your remixes??? thx.

[jesusfreak2440]

THIS IS AWSOME, GREAT HARMONIZED GUITARS,......can i have ur autograph, lol

[BeginningDrawer]

:o nice idea, could i use it if i ever get to this song? ^^ it really rocks :D

[SonosukeYawara]

Still one of the coolest rpgs ever!

[AStandsForFrench]

The Fortress of Doom theme is perfect without altering the melody, a carefully crafted, delicate masterpiece that inspires the heart and is really a fantastic "we're off to save the world!" theme. You added way too many squiggly bits to it, upsetting that delicate balance and turning it into a loud, nasty mess. Awful.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@AStandsForFrench I get your point and I'm aware of it. I'm not exactly trying to make a better version because I know it's already at its best. I'm just doing my own thing.

Something on your side you could consider working is taking out the rudness in your comments. There's no betther way than anyone to think and no one is near absolute thinking which you sound like you think you are. please try to stay friendly when commenting. and thanks for commenting.

[mattinpekin12]

@sweetsweepbeat

i would love to download this and any other works you might have done!!!! you are truly amazing!!!!

[sweetsweepbeat]

@mattinpekin12 I'm sorry I won't post link for download. If you're looking to get a record, i suggest downloading any program that records what will come out of your speakers. Theres tons of program like those. just look for it on google.

[RPGgameplayer]

lol finally some 1 knows of this awsome game

[Sixlovesyou]

@sweetsweepbeat still not old man haha 3 months later... i forgot about my account on this shit XD turns out new lufia is nowhere near as good lol i watched the ending and was like ur dead square enix lol

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Sixlovesyou multiple console series is a bad idea...they should have made a third one on snes when the time was right :P

[FamiDude]

@sweetsweepbeat considering the snes has the best collection of rpgs and the best games in each respective series, yeah, lufia 3 should've been on snes :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

@FamiDude yes...what a waste of potential....but if I remember well, i think Lufia 2 came out towards the end of the snes era...I would need to check that again but anyways...a new game is about to come out. let see if they intend to pursue the story...

[TheFirstSpokenWord]

at 1min02 to 1min07, i jizzed in my pants,

epic win for you and the music, marry me

lufia kicks ass^^

[SilentShadow1991]

Awesome work! It's great to hear the music of old games of the past as a little arrangement with much effect :) Kepp it up!

[cgp0402]

you are AWESOME

[MICKGROHL]

My god man! that was amazing. I hope to be able to do something like this one day too. Awesome work.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@MICKGROHL I hope you all the best and wish all your dreams come true :)

[swizard]

Please export this into a MP3 file so I can listen to this on the road.

[Sixlovesyou]

ive watched this video like 30 times and it never gets old, best cover of one of the best songs on my fav game ever haha. i hope this new lufia is good or ill kill everyone in square enix

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Sixlovesyou wow thanks alot. thats a huge compliment!

ahahaha we'll see about that. dont get your hopes too high. its hard to beat something you already love much. Its probably going to be good. but better? no idea.

[Sixlovesyou]

@sweetsweepbeat still not old man haha 3 months later... i forgot about my account on this shit XD turns out new lufia is nowhere near as good lol i watched the ending and was like ur dead square enix lol

[bretona]

lefties ftw

[sweetsweepbeat]

@bretona ahahah thanks! lefties rocks :D

[jupzwoo]

i really love this ! i play guitar too, but I'm not nearly as good as you ! I love harmonized distorted guitar sounds.

[sweetsweepbeat]

@jupzwoo thanks alot dude! its okay keep practicing. youll get there i promise :)

[Rapsting]

[sweetsweepbeat]

@Rapsting thanks dude.greatly appreciated!

[icefirerose]

[sweetsweepbeat]

well thank you! No i didnt. hum and im not thinking of doing one really. sorry!

[icefirerose]

Aw, well thankyou for making my favorite song from that game into an awesome remix!

[sweetsweepbeat]

[Vinitachi]

I love your take on this. Got tons of energy in it.

[sweetsweepbeat]

[lukphonp]

very nice :]

[alwaysasleep]

fucking incredible.

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks man!

[BluntMan3475]

Man....i hate to say it, But it sounds much better than Calebelija. But Calebelija is amazing too.

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks for the comment though I dont really like being compared. So many people on youtube with all different vision. He does his own things, I do mine. It all depends to taste :)

But thanks anyways! keep watching!

[SilentKamikaze]

so you are a lefty too? dude its great to see another shred on classic games we played as kids! keep it up man and if you happen to come across to me =]

[SilentKamikaze]

*across tabs send them to me

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah lefty too huh? were just a bunch different than everyone else ;)

thanks man and as for the tabs. I dont know if I still have them. too many tabs and file and it might be on my old computer ahaha

[jesusis2cool]

wow thats so SICK man! You are shreddin it man! Wow keep it up!

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks man I appreciate it!

[JosephCollins]

At first, I wasn't real impressed by it. The lead-up to the chorus doesn't do the song much justice, but when you get to the chrous part of it...WOW! This thing rocks out loud! I love it! You've done a pretty good job here. Thank you for sharing.

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha thanks but its never been about impressing people. Im just doing that for my own fun ;)

[20Wolfz]

Lache pas man! Fou raide les deux guit ensemble! :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

[Yuckpulver]

lefthanded are gifted:-)

great job

my Gänsehaut (i don`t know the english word)

has Gänsehaut

[sweetsweepbeat]

Hi fellow left handed guitarist :P

ahaha found it on the net it means getting goosebumps :P

and thanks!

[DragonByProxy]

Amazing job on an amazing song from an amazing game, dude.

It'd be intense to hear you do the Rise of the Sinistrals Sinistral battle theme.

[sweetsweepbeat]

i was thinking about it...but i dunno. Maybe I would do it but speed it up a bit. I find that sinistrals battle theme lacks a bit of speed. it feels slow to me. dunno.i'll have to see :)

[DragonByProxy]

This would be pretty awesome. The song does feel a bit too slow for the whole fighting-the-gods thing.

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah exactly what i mean :P

[lang2004]

Yeah, i cried quite a lot when Maxin and his love went to see his kid and then left to heavens!

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah and then the end. then you want them to make a 3rd one which never really happened. -_-

[fett8802]

Mp3?!?!?

[sweetsweepbeat]

no im sorry :S

[phoguy86]

Wow...I was moved. That's rare. Amazing dude. Simply amazing.

[DrSoks206]

This is just amazing man

[anticrowdkid]

youre hot

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha thanks thats awesome :)

[xakraik]

lol, suppose its always good to have someone say that to you xD but i think you look better in this one with your beard than the ones without

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks :)

[Autocraticus]

I was feeling nostalgic so I went back and played Lufia 2 the whole week, and I just beat it a few hours ago. While not as great as I first remembered, its still an amazing game compared to some of the other RPGs coming out at that time.

Great guitar work here, you really captured the song!

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha the end of the game is epic. I love how even after the love of his life died, he still manage to save the world one more time before he himself is going to die.

:D thanks :D

[AwesomeFish2021]

Too awesome; Lufia was one of the first game's I ever played, and it was my very first RPG. Keep up the good work!

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha mine was FF3. same era ahaha :P

but yeah its one of the top RPG game for me :P

thanks :)

[lildoomedkitty]

fucking epic dude. beyond epic. 5*'s and saved

[trior27]

This made me subscribe! MOAR!

[SummerPalmsSunshine]

Very well done, nother form of memories-backbringer :D

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah yeah! its such a great song man:)

[DamTheLad]

Trop nice 5 étoiles ! Continue your nice work dude !

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah merci bien!

[FallenMuze]

It's been a couple of months since I watched this video, mais je l'aime toujours autant, quand est-ce que tu nous reviens avec du nouveau?

[sweetsweepbeat]

sa devrait etre bientot. jetais pas mal occupé mais la sa se calme :P

[sweetsweepbeat]

wow thanks :D

[1397051993]

Now that's unique. A first for me, harmonizing with yourself. Love the remix

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha thank you :)

[Chris8752]

Nostaglia from long nights with Zsnes emu and Lufia. You picked a great song and made it beyond what i expected when i first clicked this vid. Great performance ;-)

[sweetsweepbeat]

i really appreciate your comment :D

[SKJmin]

You're sick dude!!

5/5*

Damn no DW-link, had to record it!!

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahahah thanks man thats awesome :D

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahaha never though of using my wall as a green screen. I think i might use your idea to take some picture actually thanks man :P ahah

i love editing in photoshop anyways. just more fun for me :D

[xdeviltrunksx]

I have to say that I really love this version of the song that you play. I listen to it everyday, sometimes more then once. I even started playing Lufia again because of you. I hope that you make more music and videos again soon.

Please make an MP3 of this song, I need it on my I-Pod lol.

[sweetsweepbeat]

wow thats nice man! I'm happy that you like it!

Though I won't be making an mp3 of the song. If you want your free to put this video on your ipod though. Sorry.

[Atticuspenderton]

Download Helper add-on for Firefox. =)

[sweetsweepbeat]

here ya go ;)

[Sixlovesyou]

hey, i wanna sa congratz on this video, ive beenplaying lufia for the last 12 years of my life and it amazing that people still love it. if there is anyway you could tab that or do any other songs, like the sinistral theme, i would be so happy. so many good memories on this game. i love the harmonising you did on it hopefully ucan teach me in some way :)

[sweetsweepbeat]

hey thanks man :D

about the tab, the only part of it I had was the melody that makes the original song, the rest and the second part of the song were actually all added. I never did tab those part and I dont even have the tab for the original song anymore. It was on my other computer. I think you could find it easily on the net. But I'm sorry, my life is really busy and I can't tab. I can't even make vids at the moment...too busy ahaha :P

anyways I'm sorry!

thanks again!

[MaidNanako]

This actually makes me want to go play the game right now! And then turn it off again in disappointment since the game won't sound remotely as awesome as this. You should put an mp3 up for download maybe somewhere

[sweetsweepbeat]

wow thats an awesome comment. If I have any time soon i'll try to do it and send you the link. But as of now I'm really out of time completely.

[xdeviltrunksx]

You are awesome, especially love the flawless sweep picking. The humor you add with the bottom you is pretty funny. LOL

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks man, I appreciate it alot :)

[erikgallegos]

can u please help me with the whoel two videos at once thing.i've searched everywhere on how to do it and jeez i'd really like this for a video

[carebayers]

I can't get a squeal from my pinch harmonic!  help!

[sweetsweepbeat]

try to put alot of gain, mid and presence. its all about using your thumb the right way to block only a part of the strings vibrations.

[SonusLizardKiss]

Very good, I like the tone very much, sounds very fat. The playing is almost perfect!

[sweetsweepbeat]

you know whats the funniest thing about it? it sounds fat here but if you would hear it for real, it's not that fat. But I love the tone anyways :)

Thank you for your comment!

[kaos552003]

where can i find lessons on how to harmonize arpeggios? i would like to know how to harmonize two guitars. i have a couple riffs of my own. i think they would sound great harmonized. anyone with info please tell me.

[sweetsweepbeat]

Well i have no clue since no one ever taught me the way to do it. I just got a good ear and a general idea on how to do harmonizations. like 3rds and 5ths or inversed 3rds and 5ths.

I can't say much more. I do it all by ear. I'm sorry I can't be more helpfull.

[shinjason]

well done. nice job with your own little spin to it. i remember when i first rented this game when i was a wee man, that song got me hooked on it.

[sweetsweepbeat]

yeah man, the same happened to me. that song is amazing!

thanks for commenting :)

[IxirionX]

Lufia... the best SNES Game i ever had... and the greatest music as well. This is also a game i played when i was a child.. and i still have it. This is a game my Children will also play.. for sure :)

Thanks for that memory. Very very great job dude. 5*

[sweetsweepbeat]

no problem! its made for memories ;) happy you liked it

[BlackCobra99999]

Great, fantastic!!!

Would you play other songs from Lufia, especially from Lufia 2 - ROTS?? For example "The turret forgotten" or "The Land nobody knew"??

Best Wishes

[sweetsweepbeat]

thank you my friend.

That will depends if I have to time do it. As of now, I got alot to deal with and not much free time.

thanks for watching :)

[fabiohawkeye]

WOW!!!!!!

AMAZING!!

Nice Job.

[sweetsweepbeat]

[Zalera]

that's all , sounds amazing

[sweetsweepbeat]

Hey thank you very much :).

Well im using a mac with final cut pro. But you probably have a pc. Im guessing any decent video maker would do it. But to tell you which one...sorry cant help you with that...

[ChiloteFlaite]

ah ok thank for the info

[karabita]

you're really talented, that's awesome ;) i love that game and it's soundtrack.

[sweetsweepbeat]

[sparileidlon]

Personnellement, c'est sûrement la meilleur toune de jeux vidéo jamais fait, pis c'est sûrement le meilleur remix que j'ai pu trouvé sur youtube.

Good job!

[Wuftie]

Fucking awesome!!!!!

[sweetsweepbeat]

thanks to you ^.^

[JScharnikow]

for a hipster lookin dude you sure can wail!

i would expect you to be playing some shitty indie rock style version or something..

[sweetsweepbeat]

ahahah its only how I look. It wont change my playing :P

and I kinda dont look like that anymore ahaha:P

But still im happy you liked it and thanks for commenting :P

[JScharnikow]

just out of curiosity, what kind of rig you got going there?
