[weirdnik]

I love this piece. I've found it as MP3 at kwed.org and I actually cried when hearing it for the first time.

[igor2003]

[Co19801003]

It needs live drums to show its full potential of awesomeness :-)

[NmGab]

Szia Pthomi!

Bárcsak én is ilyen értelmesen tudnám a szabadidőmet eltölteni.

How many fingers does this fucker have?!?!?!???

No, I don't care about multi-layering. This dude either has three hands, or a trained pet spider!

[BuzzL0ve]

@TheItchyScrot I think he uses his "big" finger too :p

[geetuz]

[JanSijp]

This is amazing. Thanks so much for recording this.

[neavri]

this is damn good

[taki255]

this made me cry........ NIN!!!

[kiozen]

i was just thinking that covering this song would be awesome... guess that i wasn´t the only one that believes that it is a masterpiece.

[kiozen]

for the record: I love till i was 6 years old.

[Paullugg]

I was wondering if I could use this music on one of my videos on my channel?

Kind regards Paul Lugg of the White Dragon Dojo.

[dstarie]

Well done!!! i really enjoyed that

[mushafasa]

You know that's BS that this only has 16,000 views after 2 years, I come back and listen to this FREQUENTLY and would say this is easily one of my favorite covers EVER. Shame this never went viral man, it's worth the rest of the world hearing.

[hurricanewinzz]

Shô Kosugi

[azoxystrobin]

Damn i love teh internet.

Excellent tunes dude.

[Njal55]

Awesome!

If only I had so much time to do this...

[McTatzi]

da da da da dam da da da da dam

[rocketman5000]

Fantastic. I always wondered what the Last Ninja theme would sound like played on a guitar. Good work.

[Rosskoid]

Well done mate great to listen to.

[Hellwig64275]

NICE! The main guitar riff sounds a little slow and rough though, maybe could be played with 2 handed tapping on high E and using cleaner/brighter tone. Also, i would have played some of the higher notes in the solo with harmonics for added color. Good job, man.

[sid5400]

Brilliant, just brilliant! Great work.

[hanppu]

A*sr*pe no no noo

[blaineyboots]

8 people are deaf.

[jendormoon]

Incredible..Would love to here all of your covers for all levels "The Last Ninja" (1)....

Ooo and the loading tracks would be a huge bonus..i would totally buy your CD

Three thumbs up =]

[neilmcgrathDOTCOM]

Superb

[maikscho]

O_O....  *No word can describe this*

[symmo77]

AMAZING!!!!



[symmo77]

AMAZING!!!!

[lesclaypool0727]

This game is a part of my childhood!Fucking good music cover!!!

[djsharman]

Fantastic!

[ulmeulme]

just imagine metallica doing a cover on this !!!

[rolfedrengen]

Stunning! Good job!

[NmGab]

Really cool job man! Not an easy piece to practice but you owned it :)

Good music, good performance, good memories of a good game!

Thanks a lot!

[aektzim]

A M A Z I N G. My deep gratitude for this, brought a lot of childhood memories.

[lynkriger]

EPIC!!!



[DoktorTrask]

Yeah. Das ist Grossartig.

[misterbeaker]

great :)

[Dave54600]

The C64 was breaking new ground with this game. Magic mate.

[ertman81]

Wow. Well done!! Greetings from Germany.

[OkosPala]

Zseniális!

[grimandproper]

I think I just jizzed in my pants... stirring up old memories and mixing them with guitars means I can't go to sleep now because I've got this tune in my head. Well done!

[rjsbaker]

Holy crap, this is awesome. You've done a really fantastic job, well done!

[Tnesz]

Mate that was fantastic!!!!

/bow x5

:D

[Steggman]

The last Ninja 1,2 and 3 were ace!

They dont make games like them anymore.

TLN did have good graphics (for its time) but was by no stretch of the imagination an easy trilogy.

Remember jumping over the swamp on the logs? (TLN1)

Remember getting the two toilet flushes to make nun chucks? (TLN2 (aka "ninja remix")

Remember lighting all the candles around the pentangle to finally kill Kunitoki? (TLN3)

Ahh, great days.

[PochemuPochemu]

My dad used to play that game when he was a boy! lol.here he is........ well thank you ever so much pthomi for the flash back m8! i spent god knows how long playing the last ninja! it was the best game of it's time on c64.i was shacking when i heard you play it !!! it's top class and don't let anyone say it's not! thank you again and god bless you.Oh i finished 1 and 2 but never got into 3 by the way.

[tsfreh]

This is AWESOME.

[SickmanDamian666]

Nice!!!

[zealhk3]

Lovely first minute. Listened to it ten times in a row now and think I have developed an addiction problem :-)

[ulmeulme]

cool :)

[SuperPath86]

What a song

[Steggman]

not too shabby at all mate!

[retromaxim]

fantastic!

[terlisimo]

awesome!

do you have any more c64 tabs to share? :)

[JazzMetalSteve]

I like the idea. I just think the guitar parts need a little more work. Feels a little staccato and un-musical in places. Have you tried playing the ostinato part completely legato? It would sound a little smoother. Failing that try a smaller and/or thicker pick, or try showing less of the pick to the string (to reduce the pick noise). I think this could be great with a little more practice. Good luck!

[Nindz81]

Unusual to hear it on the guitar but very nicely done

[sakaerad]

It's a dream!

[prowokator]

Lovely. Works great on guitar! That's probably my favourite SID tune of all time. Thanks for doing this :)

[milliomoselme]

ooooh SHIT!!!!!!

Awesome!!!!!!!

[syncrow76]

post a video, in which you show that you can play that life man. Otherwise I don't believe it.

[theradiationking]

no-one cares if you don't believe it

[Balazak]

Lol, well if not him, then who?

It's obviously not the game music.  :P

@Pthomi: Good job!!

[syncrow76]

okay I believe you, but I assume that you looped several parts though, sounds nice, good work.

[vadernl]

Superb.

[mr3sal]

Awesome job u r the man

[GrantSmithBass]

very cool...cheers mate.

[padre80]

Amazing!!! What else u can say...

[Uncrvd]

sick!

[GrimwulfRohal]

Listening to the original tune I asked myself if this could be played on guitar. IT CAN! Superb job you did, my fingers are too slow to perform like yours. Thank you very much for this great sound. :-)

[CitroenC407]

Awesome job with this one. Top marks... this is truly fantastic :)

[kenticser]

Hm, nagyon szép. Kár a magas hangokért 2:28 körül, de így is kiváló

[alekid]

Magnificent tribute! Good job man. Last Ninja really had a damn good soundtrack.

[NmGab]

Király gitár játék! Gratulálok!

Minden sávot egyedül játszottál fel?

Várom a folytatást!

[kzbxvz]

Really fantastic!!! Long live The Last Ninja serie.

[forsizza]

Awsome cover!

[derblicker]

[AwakeAudio]

Fucking awesome!!! I've always wanted to cover this - still fresh in mind from playing this game for hours as a kid!

[Nakenbarten]

Incredible job mate, made me smile from ear to ear :D

[hfmx1]

Best game and music EVER!!!!

[odraconiandevil79]

Brilliant cover. Improves on the original.

[atarig33k]

fucking epic!

[kkbigal]

Amazing job - didn't think it would sound that good on a guitar but this was extremely impressive! :)

[Ruvinio]

very nice. a little bit noisy, but if you tune the arpeggio part a little bit down, it should be perfect. Good job. made me smile.

I have C64 guitar covers too on youtube, so check out my videos :)

[frankoisi]

wow!

[Kandraks]

That was great. gz m8.

[Pthomi]

Thx guys! :) I've started making another one from Last Ninja 2. You can hear it soon.

[Ragnarock83]

@Pthomi

so how soon do we hear it? ^^

[bigcretin]

@Pthomi Aah good! :D LN2 FTW

[tuksee]

@Pthomi

That was awesome! How long it taked to figure out whole song?

[mushafasa]

@Pthomi What ever happened to the Last Ninja 2 song you were working on? :D

[amispensseli]

@Pthomi koska toi Lastninja 2 theme valmis ? :D

Voisikko linkittää tai lähettää tabit tohon lastninja kakoseen jos sulla on ? tak

[tempestgopherit]

That was fantastic. I always knew that theme,and especially the music to last ninja 2 would sound incredible if transferred to electric guitar. Awesome job- everything about it was spot on and brilliant.

Id love to hear more of your guitar covers of the other levels,or indeed some other classic c64 games.

[Fapofa]

This rocks! Great job!
