To Zanarkand (cover) - Rob Scallon

[laszlomen]

My mom just died... perfect song to play at her funeral... thumbs up for her. Thanks

[MSBennett88]

Great piece I've loved it ever since I first heard it, but WAIT dont forget your camera!!

[OnegathosYaoYao]

awwww so beautiful what place is it???

[hippinas]

u should've done this a little bit faster

[tsukasa102]

The way you play it reminds me of Chrono Cross o__o; Am I the only one?

[conortehkitty]

sweet mother of god i have a new challege xD i must learn this! but really its so goddamn epic and i love it ^.^

[robs70986987]

@conortehkitty tab of my version is in the description :)

[Believer482]

wheres this filmed?

[robs70986987]

@Believer482 This was shot in Carpentersville, Il

[Believer482]

@robs70986987 thank u!

[ChantelleWTF]

Probably sounds really creepy..But I'm addicted to your guitar playing o_o I listen to these songs constantly - when I'm not, I have the tune playing in my head haha!! I love them soooo much o: I want more :3

[robs70986987]

@ChantelleWTF thanks so much for the support :D

I have an all solo guitar album on it's way now

[ChantelleWTF]

[robs70986987]

@ChantelleWTF :)

[PlayThatStation3]

Speechless ...

[robs70986987]

@PlayThatStation3 thanks for the support! and awesome username btw

[Vheanom]

this might just be a personal thought/ opinion but ain't the strings a little bit too loose?

[KennyQuachMusic]

wonderful cover! the place fits the mood, lol if only the scence were zanerkand...

[ToadSageNaruto100]

Where is the damn tab for this? I CAN?T FIND IT ANYWHERE! Please if you have it send me the link, thanks!

[elcrazy1]

EPIC!!!!

[cornflakes2794]

all the comments hyped this so much...and its fairly average in comaprison to @oldwhtman 's version. Good effort though.

[Pride991]

it's to slow m8... plz try again faster cause this is a bad version (: bb

[zagorith14]

@Pride991 No offense but... Wtf? Too slow? Yeah it's slow but by no means is it bad. It's a cover. Meaning that he can adjust it to how he chooses to play it. Honestly, I think that it brings out more drama and beauty of the song the way he played it. I'm not trolling nor am I trying to be a jerk, but from a musician's stand-point, it's about the beauty of music and not about speed or complicity of the song you play.

[NUMBER13ROXASOWNS]

i stop looking for to zanarkand covers here

[MrShutTheBuckUp]

Finally! someone that appreciates final fantasy music!

[ioanarocksyou]

waw?

[raynjenga]

Kool

[IxHitxdrums]

the water itself really adds to the music

[outbreakcontinue]

dude u just made my day no joke i love this song and video favrited subed and liked amazing job bro just fantastic

[robs70986987]

@outbreakcontinue :)

[3Bullets4U]

i kinda wanna fish now...

[Profexus]

Tutorial? :(



[robs70986987]

@Profexus Sorry, I wasn't able to get to a tutorial for this one

[bucketheadshot]

thanks so much for writing out this tab. its very nice.

[mjquinn01]

Fantastic, what a wonderful sound, I could listen all day long. Keep up the great work!

(Rockford, IL.)

[MrSenseofReason]

did anybody else immediately think of karkand? (ie: Back To Karkarnd, Battlefield 3 xD)

[Matazanoz]

Just great, man! Lovely cover :)

[QunaticEntertainment]

someone goes somewhere to play the best, not in there bedroom.

[Kizc96]

Very nice, you're playing was great and the scenery was beautiful, the only issue for me was the two camera angles, they got annoying after a while.

[CatandMOUSE268]

aww i love this song. i used to play it on my flute haha. sounds way better in this video though!

[noraetomer]

Great cover, and a beautiful setting. Only thing is the two camera angles going back and forth like that at seemingly random times was kind of annoying to my eyes for some reason.

[WhenBellaSaysHello]

You are utterly amazing, this took my breath away!

[Waynecampbell111]

The sound of the river in the backgroud is so relaxing!!

[banana27ify]

66,666? wow is that a good thing?

[0tonashi55]

すばらしい！！

[MetalliCxZero]

It's the moonflow :]

[hy0chan]

nice cover nice video nice songs. but whatever it's a river or a lake or swamp the camera changings over and over is disturbing. better only from the front. imho.

[hy0chan]

and it's really a nice background!! only from the front. not from the back.

[DragonflyWishing]

Omg. I love you.

[MMYLC]

Awesome man, just awesome. I should learn how to play it too when i have time. I would have problems with the tempo probably :D, yours is very nice.

[ElFrijoleroMang]

amazing job and awesome cinematography as well

[HorwardBrady]

Great video, great guitar playing! I have to ask, where was this filmed?

[robs70986987]

@HorwardBrady thanks! This was filmed in Carpentersville, Il

[HorwardBrady]

@robs70986987 Thanks! the background makes the video amazing! :D

[bmth81593]

@robs70986987 i live in mchenry, Il and there's absolutely nowhere this beautiful around here and it's only like half an hour away. ):

[deuxandros]

brother, do not forget your video camera!!!

[SirRythm]

you should play it faster. Other than that excellent playing

[Terry3571]

Superbe!

J'aime la réponse "It's a river" :))

[LTCimbulletproof]

great sound but was the lake really necessary? looks stupid.

[robs70986987]

@LTCimbulletproof it's a river

[soullesplain]

@robs70986987 can u make a tutorial more indepth cuz i play the tabs butt hey dont soind 100% to me maybe im ,not doing it effective could u help ? cuz its one of the songs i wanna take of my bucketlist

[TheOutcastGamers1]

@robs70986987 What you should have done was dress up like Tidus or another Final Fantasy 10 charcter but it was still awesome Final Fantasy 10 is my favorite game of all time and that song is probably in my top 5 favorite songs from that game and you did a really good job with it.

[SnaggaSheeYoung]

@LTCimbulletproof It's to create an atmosphere of peacefull place ;)

[darkshyne69]

@LTCimbulletproof The RIVER adds to the mellow and peacefulness of the song making it even more relaxing and its beautiful scenery which fits the song really well

[PinkneysDefiant]

@LTCimbulletproof oaf you obviously have never played ff x the relevance to water is pretty fucking significant

[SnaggaSheeYoung]

Just Amazing :)

[hendersonskater]

Gorgeous Sound

[CrozStrife]

Wow! What a great place to play this song. May I know the name for this place? :D

[67750510]

really nice ambiance

[Lauramariesongs]

WOW!! That was amazing!  Your playing style is stupendous...everything flows so beautifully!

[robs70986987]

@Lauramariesongs thanks so much!

[sharathchandra29]

I'm so very happy to see your channel getting more popular man, you deserve recognition and success. Three cheers and good luck!

[robs70986987]

@sharathchandra29 Much thanks! :)

[screamersc3n3r]

youre very talented! i love this! beautiful!

[hoangtukimkhoi]

Good

[ferhtkzcz]

Awesome place, i would like to play there too..

[xXGlenMcCXx]

Great cover..but a little slow for my taste

[TehPieLuver]

Maannn i reallly have to play final fantasy x now

[waldotherabbit]

Music and Place to be Forever Alone.

[Pipine0]

You really play well, it was really moving ...

And thanks for tabbed it, it's very nice ! :'D

[EIG2011]

Do you have Classical score of this.Or whatever its called?

[lozmaster963]

hrmm that place reminds me of the fishing hole in twilight princess

[RoyAndKimble]

How much tougher is this song to play with a non-nylon guitar?

[Technobanana]

Such an awesome place to sit and play guitar..

[robs70986987]

@Technobanana couldn't agree more

[TheWeeeck123]

:') b-e-a-utiful

[Spav]

..I want to get a Guitar, just to learn Final Fantasy songs..

[PlainWhiteGuitar]

This song breaks my heart

[Josephferrari7]

thank you for your performance, you're excellent. continues like this !

[SkyDelta52]

It's pretty amazing how you play so great. I love how you can hear the water in this video, and also in other videos of how you used sugar and a clock as instruments. Absolutely brilliant. I love your music and how you play it, its amazing.

[robs70986987]

@jameskeefer0906 I am almost always in Standard tuning and occasionally I'll write a song in FACgce. I checked out one of your drumming videos and you can really play! If Mexico city was a short drive away I'd love to stop by the place and jam. But being from Chicago that's quite a trip and I record at home. But if you guys need a studio guitarist, I would love to help out and send my tracks to you online

[robs70986987]

@jameskeefer0906 it's in standard and I tabbed it out if you want to learn it :)

[scotty4001]

great job man, sure wish you would have made it 10 minutes instead of 2..

I could listen to this for days

[Armeda99]

The second I saw you do this, I had to learn it! And I did!

[towardstheshadows]

this game and nobuo uematsu are the reasons im a musician

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

@towardstheshadows For me it's Chrono Cross and Yasunori Mitsuda, but this game had awesome music as well

[queenrashell]

Rob you play so beautifully ;) but the location look's a little depressing yet quite beautiful.

[auttisticcoww]

One of the best instrumentals ever. Makes me very melancholy to here it. Great game also... Thank you :)

[djos3]

what guitar is that? it sounds awesome

[robs70986987]

@djos3 check out my "equipment video" and you'll get to see a whole video on it :)

[puffadoeback]

wait! hold on! YOU LEFT YOUR CAM CORDER!

[Thefirsts]

If I had four arms I would be playing the guitar at that same spot and be fishing at the same time...

[thalesmtr]

Amazing!

[CashMoneyBunny]

JESUS!!! 1080p!!!

[IsabelSaraSilva]

MY FAVE GAME, MY FAVE MUSIC.... Keep on going :) <3

[Pacifica17]

very nice, although too slow compared to the original

If I can't find a better arrangement than yours,

this is what i'm going to teach my students =)

[UltimaBigDaddy]

Man I'm getting dizzy here, keep that camery still! I don't care about your back! Nice playing though can't argue with that =)

[Rkmajora]

felt too slow and the melodic notes didn't seem pronounced enough

[kingjacob300]

you play the guitar amazingly! plz keep up the good work!

[Tidus98]

you should post a vid of how you play this song

[California0aura]

where is this place? youre so good at making your videos visually appealing

[robs70986987]

@California0aura it's in carpentersville, Il and thank you!

[BannonMuFc]

hey dude, where did u get the arrangement for that? please write back :D

[ariecos]

Not to mention the scenery is absolutely gorgeous and oddly fitting.

[ariecos]

One of the most amazing covers I've heard. So beautiful.

[jaylovesqc]

is ur guitar case reinforced inside or smth? i always wanna sit on my guitar case like that but i might crash it..

[buckwheatbecky]

I was wondering if you had the sheet music for that? I'm trying to learn that song on my guitar.

[LordLuneth]

I admire you now, you inspired me to keep on practicing on the guitar until I'm as good as you.

[robs70986987]

@LordLuneth thats awesome to hear! The tab is in the description if you want to learn it :) I'm sure you could sometime soon

[ScarletNightShade]

omg i heard a different song someone posted on facebook, but now, I FUKIN LOVE YOU xD awesome cover! great game! lots of luvs! lol

[AlKohaiVoiceActing]

Oy My God , you are now offically my new favorite youtube guitarist

[WilliamGeorgeB16]

so did you ever play ff x or do you just like the song? haha really good cover man sounds great!

[robs70986987]

@WilliamGeorgeB16 my brother played it all the time when it came out. I never played but I really enjoyed the story and music to the game

[WilliamGeorgeB16]

@robs70986987 nice! im just a huge nerd and have played all of these games, i got your album the other day, its awesome! great job! check out some of my videos if you get a chance!

[robs70986987]

@WilliamGeorgeB16 thank you! and sure I'll check the channel out

[BambzYoshioka]

epic song + nice view

bringing calmness to everyone

when i watched this i remember the opening scene in FF X

Tidus standing with full of sadness ,watching his hometown Zanarkand had been destroyed

"listen to my story ,this maybe our last chance"

[UltraaNova]

I don't like this interpretation of song. It's perfectly played, but I don't like how you left out many notes from main melody. I'd be more happy to hear the lead notes left out rather than ones from main melody.

[Arik1989]

@UltraaNova Well you know it's difficult because it's played on a piano originally and pianists have easier access to those notes, there's only so many changes you can make to the lead without losing the main focus of the piece.

I play it differently but you gave me some ideas, thanks and keep on playing!

[ColorAndCurls]

AH that was beautiful! It's funny because I didn't recognize the song name but once you started playing I knew. Sounded lovely. Also where is this bridge/waterbody? Looks peaceful.

[robs70986987]

@ColorAndCurls thank you! and this video was shot in Carpentersville, Il

[elise620]

Honestly, when I saw the headline of this video I was a little skeptical because it is performed on guitar instead of a piano, but I really enjoyed it! And your background is beautiful! Creates just the right mood. Keep up the good work!

[robs70986987]

@elise620 thank you!

[carlarose96]

Amazing - I never thought I'd hear this being played on guitar... Simply beautiful :)

[mentaltilltheend]

Really Good Job ,enjoyed this. Very ethereal tune,played calm and gracefully.

[fingadude]

i can almost play this all the way through!

[Koalafyable]

that place ur filming at looks like a fun place to be :) epicness my friend. im learning the piano version of this song from gotitans. but i want a guitar so i can learn this version as well ;)

[robs70986987]

@Koalafyable awesome! well the tabs are out now for when you want to learn it

[Koalafyable]

@robs70986987 cool. all i need to do is to buy a guitar then! im thinking of trying my hand at "for those who fight further" from final fantasy VII after i finish up 'to zanarkand'

[ezeltiki]

Marry me?

[robs70986987]

@ezeltiki I don't see why not!

[ezeltiki]

@robs70986987 OMG! You actually replied to my comment. It made my day.

[hunkshunter]

@C0NTR0L55K ultimate-guitar (dot) com :)

[C0NTR0L55K]

@robs70986987 thanks, i really appreciate it

[celebsongspoof]

FFX is the best game ever and the soundtrack makes me feel all woozy

[kisavalladao]

There looks so cold here in Brazil is hot! Where do you live?To play this song Is it necessary to have nails? I mean in the right hand for soloing.

[robs70986987]

@kisavalladao this was shot way out in the suburbs of chicago, Il and no. I don't grow my nails out.

[hibritto]

Nice! now imma make a beat outta this! :)

[Totoseigh]

I love this, you always choose good locations to shoot according to what your playing. Plus Final Fantasy was a part of my childhood and you definitely did it justice! :)

[robs70986987]

@Totoseigh thanks for the support! I really loved the soundtrack to that game

[killguillotine]

my favorite aoen is Anima.

[JeremyImp]

I love the novel way you play your guitar. Sometimes I feel so tired of the city life and I feel like I want to travel somewhere outdoors to play my violin. :)
