Balamb Garden On Piano (Richalvarez Demo)

[EnglishCalifornian]

You're so talented. :')

[txoriotaku]

so, all of the crew of stupid mario brothers play any instrument, sing, act...is there anything theay can't do?? I don't think so

[CandyBekah]

it's good but too fast.

[Beatty003]

You played it well...but you did it waaay too fast. You kind of missed the mark and feel of the song. It isn't a race. The song is supposed to be a reflection of everyday life at Balamb Garden which is calm and peaceful...not stressful and chaotic. A nice job still.

[TheMisscrazy1993]

That was magnificent Richie, I love it -3

[Amigosxoxo11]

This sounds amazing! Good job Richie!!! :)

[pinksunflower100]

good job can you put up a how to of this song?

[Diz5452]

You should make a tutorial on this song

[wayneski1290]

you sound so nice! i would say you go a bit slower and it would sound better..

[NikoToro37]

BRAvo vecioo!!!!!! complimenti ;)

[NikoToro37]

BRAo vecioo!!!!!! complimenti ;)

[MrColdkilla69]

what the hell is wrong with your camera man it keep spinning and moving making me dizzy. my god!

[grimrosegrim]

your amazing men!

your so mazing,

amazing men!

i love you

ahahaha .. xD

[chyiochan]

Stuff like this makes me wish I never quit piano lessons as a kid either. My teacher was stuck up as well. Getting angry when I messed up rather than helping. lol

[andrysb24]

now I wish I hadn't given up on piano when I was 7; however in my defense I still say the piano teacher was a grumpy old bitch.

[MuffunCakes]

@andrysb24 You could have found a better teacher lol..

[skydragonl]

Marvelous.

[mattmerolla]

That was amazing Richard you are really talented

[BlitzAceX]

Looks like a mature Jack Black

[LMBNair]

This dude is good :-)

[assassainsblood]

i love this you rock

[chouatong]

A little to fast, you need to slow down so the audience can feel the music, sure you play good play a little slow because this speed doesn't let you feel the music it's like you just racing through it so its sorta no point to play this if you can't get in touch with it and listen to the music with heart

[theblackmanOyeah]

best soundtrack to a game, EVER.. no contest.

[sumsha0000]

not bad. good vid.

[nimisty]

que chistosa tu cara al principio...jajajaja

falto que tocaras mas

[Olistuts]

I love it.

[upakyou]

damn, i wish my father didn't die so he would be able to teach me how to play. :( maybe i'll learn after i finish college. btw you were awesome..i'd rather not critique on it. :D

[Deyphier]

This is fucking fate, or a really, REALLY big fluke. i was watching richalverez's videos like an hour ago (didn't see this one!) and then i remembered that i'd been meaning to check out some final fantasy music to bring back some memories, AND I FOUND THIS VIDEO! .. just freaks me out!

[BozkurTParaDise]

amazing... nice video :) great piano play :) i like the sound

[chucksrightfoot]

Beautiful....

[Second2Last33]

Simply amazing.

[Cormster101]

This is ace.

[Grubenpony12]

Wow! you've got it!

[serisAK]

hahaha love the look at the beginning. brilliant!!

[pspsnake]

Tbh, Its perfect but tooo fast that's ruins the whole song ya know :/

[megjknight]

Are you single? ;)

[SauriAngela]

CAN you please tell me where you learned this piano?

PIANO SHEET PLEASE!

[TheLastNaturalist]

Are you kidding me? This is insanely good - it puts the "official" version from FFVIII Piano Collections to shame. Awesome.

[Arkhandroid]

who cares about the camera..

man everyone on pootube is a critic.

I think the fresh cinematography rules.

[3434ggg]

<3.

[gunblade64]

Use a tripod dude.

It's also less annoying.

But way the go with your play... although, if i may say so, it's going a little too fast.

[Poopsiewoopsiedodo]

MWUAHAHA your face at the beginning, wonderful ^^

[RobinLaliberte]

May i suggest getting a tripod so that some dumb ass doesn't twist the camera around. Great rendition though.

[AceTheSlayer75]

Dude, that was his sister 0_0

[RobinLaliberte]

Well, sorry to say his sister is a dumbass lol but a tripod would be better lol.

[AceTheSlayer75]

Can't blame her for having fun ^_^

Though admittedly at first I had a little trouble taking the vid seriously because I was caught off guard.

[julioclau]

hahahaha

[Zinriusminazen]

This is funny because I was simply searching for a Balamb Garden theme on the piano to listen to.... and I clicked this one just because I wanted to hear it, then BOOOM!!! I see Richalvarez Lol.

I was like " am I in the right video ? Lol " then Rich started playing and it PWND.

Awesome man, thanks for the laugh Lol. I din't expect you on the vid. XD I dint notice the username.

[starlightmoon1]

that's cool dude!

[Galgamos]

Awesome...

Just awesome...

[Nyzzeh]

I have to say this was not a very good performance :(

[violetsaga]

omg, if you could send me a copy of the sheet music i would be forever grateful! if not, that's fine...

[AndiZemenis]

this song brings me back to like 2 hours ago when i was playing the first disc lol.

i remember how FF8 came out when i was like 7 or 8 and when we got it...i thought it was stupid and now i love it! bot have i changed...

[AceTheSlayer75]

Same here...I was in third grade when I first played it, thought it was lame but addicting as all hell haha.

[sargesarah]

Wow... Amazing. It was so Beautiful and relaxing. Man, I love it... I only wish I could play the piano.

[iKonoha]

Just Beautiful :)

[fallendevilkyle]

Awesome and by the way nice piano!!

[Gio5848]

Awesome!!!!! :D

[BUAKAW31]

wow very good, congratulations from france

[Xavoir86]

you looks funny in the begining...you did a good job...by the way,you own a grand piano..HOLLY SHIT

[HylianSpirit]

This song brings me back to when I was 11.

[GuitarMarc89]

that was awesome!! wow!

i love you!!

[Shilag]

It's a bit fast, and you made a few mistakes, but keep practising and you'll get it right. (:

[JenovaNinquelas]

:o I've been trying to teach myself this. I want your piano XD you play very well!

[pavodelmal]

yea

[carey5643]

you look really hot when you play the piano and wear that scarf by the way :D

[lordnarutokun]

that was truley amazing

[cory454vortec]

that was great

[rarefantasyhero]

nice performance! you should join overcklocked Remix group!

anyway, keep up the good work

[beasta234]

You are one awesome guy, Richie. Keep up the good work. :D

[Drandole]

Very good. You play well.

[proyeccionista]

slower! the tempo its too fast!

[Flutlicht23]

really nice! 5*

[dedede666]

One day, he'll be famous. I mean more famous. I mean...oh you know what i mean.

[Nymphetamine2791]

Really nice job man! 5/5

[TempusTransit]

Perfection added to perfection. This man may wear a winter scarf indoors if he likes. I can imagine a piano-patterned scarf to suit him instead, now wouldn't that be trendy.

[marimo1314]

Look at those fingers!!!

[Tobi4444]

youre a great guy, keep it up

[pika207]

I wonder if you can give me lessons>

[pika207]

[PiperLeoLover]

you are my new favorite nerd! i love this, i used to play this, i had the rebourn version, i think, at one time, i miss it...

keep up the AMAZING work you guys! all of you! i am very impressed with all you are doing.

[ralphdaimler]

can i have a piano sheet copy......

[dandacheerman]

more impressive than playing it was the memorization! very well done, sir

[kevzDEMOLAY]

nice 1 idol!

[angel052894]

Not bad. There were chords and phrases you left out, but otherwise a good performance. I liked the what you did with the B maj. endind using broken chords on the left hand.

[reeecardo]

not bad

[burppolon]

hm, a true method actor rare to find these days.

[simoDrK]

music is correct... but it's too fast and a bit "empy"... I mean... FF need more "soul"

[NEOMACHINAENIX]

agreed, this is beautiful piece buts in been played with far too much harshness, you need to play it like PUSSY... I'll show you what i mean in a video resonse...

[VSL123]

STFU.

[squall0258]

he really sucks... im gonna upload mine...

[Shiyounonai]

IMO if you slowed it down just a bit it would be perfect. A little too fast for my taste. Awesome job otherwise!

[bitchkid06]

could someone give me a copy of that piece...

[YouSuckLuigi12354]

very nice rich. When i 1st saw u playing the piano i was like COOL. As a fellow piano player i really enjoyed that.

[milelar]

[gboybig]

damn dude that was really good. Besides To Zanarkand, this is my favorite song from all the Final Fantasy games. You should try To Zanarkand, I'm sure you'd be great. AMAZING JOB! =P

[Savunen]

yea i agree with this from final fantasy x - zanarkand I'm trying to play that too and I can play nearly half of it.

Great playing you're good

[jesuiskarennn93]

[ktf2525]

[dms834]

[ProjectEater]

Good song.

[Antiope2589]

Very nice! I'm jealous I want learn how to play that!

[Pwnd0z3r]

Nice arrangement with the song, I enjoyed it! It is impressive, your appreciation for the piano. I play keyboard, I can play this piece, but in a different variation of course, this one seems like one I've never seen, perhaps one of your own? Keep practicing and playing, I'd really like to see more, in fact I subscribe! I've played this song more than enough times, in fact it never gets old! I really enjoy it, play for more us, will you?

[sausagelinxs]

[RanmaSaotome10]

Possibly the best school I've ever gone to. I miss it.

[link3hyrule]

[anthrit]

[pilchy99]

Well good, this brings back memories :)

[PyroSephiroth120]

Before I even watch the video, because I know it'll be good, why Final Fantasy 8? In my personal opinion Final Fantasy 9 was the best Final Fantasy. So again why Final Fantasy 8, what is your personal favorite and which do you think had the best music?

[KomunityChestu]

Very impressive, Mr. Alvarez. I'm lost for words.

[michiko2]

U sir deserve 5 stars for this beautiful peformance

-from a devoted FF fan-

Michiko2

[XcatisX]

very nice. I wish I could play the piano but my fingers just can't keep up with it.

[DarkAngelAW1986]

Nice job.

[CtrlAltDECIMATE]

Nice!

[vendettapianist]

Not bad

[amphungus]

Nothing hotter than a musician. Nice scarf!

[soccerdragon222]

Wow! Funny, intelligent, and a musician? What else can you do? Good Job Richie

[AwesomeGirl86]

Good job! :)

[ShinrinCole]

Very good Rendition of the song. :D

[princesspeach2010]

Great Job Rich...I'm totally jealous of your piano playing skills

[PlasmaSam]

awesome

[moccalou]

That was lovely!

[wkkimmy]

awsome man!

[EComics]

DUDE!! EPIC!!

FF VIII is my personal favorite Final Fantasy and that was excellent piano playing.

[FinalHeavenVIII]

Excellent.

[xXtheXlastXidiotXx]

amazing dude iv never heard of it but damn(nice piano btw)

and idk if you remember me but this is Rebelliouseguitarist but i changed my name=)

[jayda737]

where does your chain of talents end?!

[Normanczek]

I have never heard of that song before.

[ShiroCzerni]

That was such a great interpretation of the theme. You play and interpret music so well, it might be good for you to consider using some piano music as background music for scenes in your Mario Bros.

[LankyBrendon]

man i just remember the pain of hearing this song over and over in the game. Your piano version is actually pretty sweet. Nice work brosef.

[MiniVanillaWafers]

God, you're so freakin' talented! Good playing too, it sounded very nice. ^^

[Gopeno]

that is very talented.

How old is your sister? my sister is 22 years old.

[danceallot]

you mean the one a banged last night xD

[xvalentinexbladex]

Wow Richard...you're really too talented ^^

[koolvidkid588]

Yet another talent that Richard Michael Alvarez has. How many is that again? I lost count.

[DeathBlasterX]

very interesting Richard and Christine. the weird thing is that both u and your sister have the same names as a going 2 be married couple. and i know who they r personally.

[nerdyndweirdcl]

very good :)

[chipiricuak]

nice:) a 10
