[Dragonfable47]

[mrmissinbits]

helped ALOT! 

[MsJoanna7]

thanks.. you're a great help.:)

[hepineperapter]

do you have to zanarkand from FF X?

[haramer95]

dude I am soooo thankful for this tutorial... I play the TRUMPET and I am learning to play this.. thank you for this great tutorial on the best FF character EVER!!! Her and Cloud <3

Btw ravanous, just wanted to point out that you pronounced tifa's name by saying the tif part as if your saying the name tiffany. However, it should be teefa like your saying teeth instead of tiffany. Not raging or anything, but thanks!

[ChinaDollBaBy123]

@haramer95 yeah a lot of people make that mistake... at least now they can watch AC and know the correct pronunciation :)

[Homitu]

Very good tutorial, clearly explained and displayed, but geez, the attitude in your user comments is overwhelming.

[Ravanous]

@Homitu Haha, yeah :) but with text you can't really tell if I'm being serious or not.

[MisterHitachi]

By the way, do you know Auron's theme (FF 10) or Melodies of life (FF9) ? Maybe I ask much but it would be great having these tutos from you :)

[MisterHitachi]

I like it.

Ravanous, thanks for the tutorials you post. This will probably be the third one I learn from you (after OWA, Aerith's theme). Thanks again, and please continue sending us tutos !

[HylianSpirit]

If only all tutorials were so lucid.

[cloud7wk]

thanks for the tutorial xD

[maldread88]

0:26 - 0:28 "F..C, F,A,C" = Fuck face

[alfreddarkwarrior]

@maldread88 it's after "Final Advent Children" :P

[2Lazy4aRealName]

tutorial style isn't working for me

[Richy84Rich]

Ravanous, GREAT tutorial! Could you please teach us to play Fisherman's Horizon?

I hope you will! Many thanks in advance!

[ipamocrono]

is this song easy to learn for beginners?

[veejayhendric121]

not to hurt you feelings.. but i think you should start at E then and so on... i've played that piece and i bought the original sheet...arranged by shiro hamaguchi..and of course..composed by NObou Uematsu

[Ravanous]

@veejayhendric121

Well you're wrong. That is not the original sheets if it starts on E. Listen to the FF7 theme and play the song in F. You'll notice they're both on F. Not E.

[Rocksolid88]

@Ravanous the very first note is an E indeed. though i suspect you both talk about different versions; VeeJay and I talk about the piano collections, while Ravanous talks about the in-game version.

ravanous, the piano collections-version:

watch?v=Qf09pnir9nw

[Ravanous]

@Rocksolid88

I really was only ever interested in the originals though. I'm teaching the ingame version: that's damn clear. F. Not E.

[Rocksolid88]

@Ravanous relax

[Ravanous]

@Rocksolid88 about what? Silly internet user, how is it that I am not relaxed?

[CaitSithIsGod]

That first chord you did wasn't right.

[Ravanous]

@CaitSithIsGod

The first notes in the song, or the first real chord? Everything's pretty spot on to the original. All it takes is listening to the original.

[gabbie363]

thank you sooo much! this was soo helpful!! ^^

[sptfire828]

this isnt the opening to the song.... It's completely different

[Ravanous]

@sptfire828

The hell are you talking about? Have you even played the game?  This is the original song.

[sptfire828]

@Ravanous

the opening is played much differently. Listen to the soundtrack dude... Your way could be a different one, but the one i'm thinking of (which i'm listening to now, and can for the most part play) has a different opening. And sorry to sound like a douche. I didnt mean it like that, cause you are pretty good, and you do a nice job teaching

[Ravanous]

@sptfire828 I dare you to search google for "final fantasy 7 ost midi tifa's theme" and not find that the only difference is that I only repeat the opening riff one time less, I skip right to the end after 3 repeats.

[jiggyfool69]

wow! this tutorial is fantastic!

[JaniceBattersby]

10 out of 10 this is awesome

[volcomstoned07]

could you clarify whats going on with the left hand at 2:12, what notes should be pushed down with the right hand?

[Ravanous]

@volcomstoned07

When I say F major chord, I am simply referring to the first set of notes you hit in the beginning of the song. F, to C, to F. Your pinky hits F, your index finger his C, and your thumb comes all the way across and hits the F an octav higher.

[RomanianUser]

how better can a tutorial get more than this ? :) thank you

[SpiritG0d]

I LOVE YOU!

[asilvermountzion1983]

Hey OP!!!! you are SUCH an awesome guy for posting this. Not only is the OST but you actually take it slow and explain which notes were are playing. you are my hero and thnaks again!

[kcsimamanagluluto]

i think this is more dizzy than aerith's theme... but thanks you're really great.... because of you my cousins love and amazed me....

[Mebiza]

I stayed up all night watching and learning how to play. Your great.

[MoogleEJA]

I cannot believe that someone FINALLY put a good tutorial of this song on YouTube. I've been waiting soooo long for a helpful tutorial. THANK YOU!!!

[untilyunsureho]

Your tutorials are the BEST!

[haappyanna]

you´re AWESOME

[ZeldaFreeak10]

THAAAAAANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JaemSolitude]

great tutorial they all keep getting better and better, do you think you can make a tutorial for Jurasic Park's theme the ones that have been out are ether incomplete of suck

[theunsanereaper]

This was the best version of a tutorial I have ever seen.

Thank you very much for helping us out, 5 stars.

[brums05]

ty so much for posting this! I can't play a lick but I'll visit your page often and practice. I love the ff soundtrack and wish to learn it badly. pls check out my vids too :)

[nextunes]

please make a FFVIII eyes on me tutorial.

[kuch326]

Can you do a tutorial for FFVIII Eyes on me? Thanks!!

[GerXiongXiong]

THANKS! that was so helpful but i think that it would help it you could say to play it together or play through it but besides that it was sooooo HELPFUL! thanks man

[aprilj914]

WOW. thanks. yeah, maybe you should do something from crisis core. xD

[Hotfudgebananahannah]

This is purely amazng, I don't play piano and this makes me feel like a pro, this and Aeriths theme are just perfect. Do you think you could do something from Crisis Core? like The Burdened? Thank a ton for the video man! :)

[dreadfilms]

Amazing.Amazing.

[kilky04]

oooo,actually i dunno piano at all, am i able to learn this song only through this tutorial??

i reli like piano, but no time for me to attend class....

[Ravanous]

Yes, I've made it very easy to follow. Try it and let me know if what wasn't clear to you.

[kilky04]

thankyou so much, i will get myself a piano 1st, perhaps an electric piano...

[ff7fanboi]

sir i found out about u by looking at a terrible tutorial of aeriths theme.... there u commented and said that ur tutorials were thorough and professional... lol u were not kidding thank u soo much

[Ravanous]

lol, I felt like a jerk doing that... but I couldn't just stand by and let people learn from crappy tutorials.

[Froschritter]

That's true and I am waiting for your website...when will it be available?

[donttrytokillmeplz]

oh, my god~

thank you, thank you, thankyou, and thank you for the tutorial.

i couldn't find any before, so yay~

break a leg on that website. i'm sure it'll be a lot of help. :)

[ItzmePhilip]

WOW!

Tifa's Theme!

Oh how I longed for this piece...

Im so very grateful that you took your time to make this tutorial for us.

Thank you very much Raven.

[cortiz2092000]

Bravo :) great job, awesome video :)

[Grizzlow2]

hey! u say Tifa like I do everyone else i know says it 'Teefa' lol.

[Gharmos]

Yeah, I agree on the green tabs above the keys. It's very clear and a great help.

Possibly just as a small improvement you could try adding the chord names above the left hand where appropriate, instead of relying on the audio to inform us what chord it is. At least for me anyway just reading off the chord names would be lovely xD

I should really work on my reading, but your tutorials are fine as well, I love them, keep them up.

Are you gonna finish OWA for your site?

[Ravanous]

Thanks for the idea. I'll do that too. I'll put stuff like "C Minor" above the green tabs, with each note written out like you see here. Yes, I'll be doing all of One Winged Angel. Expect it quite soon, as it'll be on there for the release of my site sometime next week.

[Gharmos]

Next week huh? I'm looking forward to it!

Are you going to cover the majority of the FF7 soundtrack? And would you consider touching on some of the other FF's soundtrack? (if you haven't already lol!)

[Ravanous]

Yeah, all in due time. FF1-10 will have select tutorials for most of the popular songs worth learning. FF7's is special and most of the FF7 soundtrack will be made into tutorials, regardless of popularity.

[FFshelke]

Best of luck with your website mate.

[Roxas240]

good luck for your website ;)

[Jewelielie]

I love how you have the green tabs over the keys, and their names. It makes it MUCH easier to follow along!

Thank you for all your hard work. I'm looking forward to your website! =D

[Ravanous]

Thought you guys might like that :] All feedback is excellent help to me, so thanks much.

[RuNb4IkiLLyOu]

a website? Looking forward to it =) Again, thanks for the tutorials, they always help!

[Ravanous]

Yeah, I'm going for a professional angle on all of my tutorials. I'm glad they help, thanks for the support :]
