Final Fantasy 10 Silence Before the storm Guitar

[pantyhosenightmare]

beautiful song i love playing it on my nylon thanks blitz!!

[DanielleT192]

wow i love this. haven't even heard the original yet :P

[LexCluthor]

Why oh why does this sound better that the original orchestral piece?

[921144666]

wonderful... :-)

[manonatightrope]

I love this rendition, the only thing I'm missing are the hemiola sections that make me really love this piece. for instance at places like 1:01-1:03 that section I think would work better in a quarter note triplet feel. Otherwise, great stuff.

[guitarherorules5432]

i gotta reprint these tabs...i loved playing this...blizwaters dads a beast

[ixbleedxfire]

One of my favorite video game songs. It's so beautiful.

[ridgestrife]

holy shit!!!simply AWEsome dude.....

[sniper321w]

awesome song brings back great memories



[mpahars]

thanks for the tabs, love playing this slow

[tmxdragoon]

amazing, too bad you didn't have mp3's of these.

[Vaioleto]

Beautiful

[spinolex]

I love it. =)

[1Clouderon1]

You look like Mario.

[AlMeshkhas]

Genius!

[alternatix]

wow, your version is like a mix between FFX's Silence Before the Storm and Into the Darkness from FF IV. No wonder a lot of people said that it had a reminisce of that song. Nice :-) 

[hobbified]

@alternatix Plays in Macalania Woods, but not when you first go there. Once it changes to this, though, it stays that way for the rest of the game.

[kinselator1]

odd i call myself the biggest fan of ff in the world but i dont remember this in ff10... oh wait. it sounds familiar at the same time :L

[WhutThePhuq]

nice ghetto computer in the back lmfao still got a box monitor :O

[TehUberCyberBeast]

Good job!

[Stevensfinger]

Anybody know if he's using a pedal?

[AsianSensationz]

@Stevensfinger as a classical guitar player I don't think he used the pedal. the little echo is there but not pedal

[NCCVE]

This is amazing.

[bboybacnis]

you know you made a great game when you make fans watch videos of a cover of a song from it 5 years after playing the game... amazing!

[Tobi100xakatsukix]

Amazing is all i can say o.o

[PHANTOMSLAYER777]

This one is great!

[Pootie88]

simply kick ass one of my fave tracks in the game just brings me back to those times when the game came out and i was in jr high hahahaa

[mpahars]

Ah the memories. Amazing.

[DjFrozenRay]

wow, great job

[styike]

you ARE THE BEST. dude, YOU iNSPIRE ME to be as good as you are

[DarkRaven008912]

I'm glad I kept this video Favorited!

[skippieLou]

Been a fan now for a couple of years, never fails to disapoint. I love all the renditions! Never take these vids off youtube :D

[rogueremis]

Great Job yo. 

[idetinne]

Wow! There are people out there who think negatively about this man's ability to play this song? This song is wonderfully beautiful and I am inspired to play it myself. I wish that I had open talent like this, just watching his fingers move so effortlessly to play the notes makes me jealous (grin). Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius, but this man made me know that it can be done right with a guitar and I don't have to go out to buy a keyboard. Amazing job, sir!! Thank you!

[1upOneup]

pure bliss. exquisite piece 5* * * * *

[ricardo000008]

thats awsome any chance of getting some tabs so i can learn on my guitar please?

[joshisrad]

this is REALLY excellent. you can just feel the clear musicianship at play, much unlike most video game guitar versions on youtube. absolutely beautiful playing man.

[jacksonguitar1111]

what guitar is that exactly?

sounds awesome! :-)

[soy1bonus]

@jacksonguitar1111 A guy playing great can make anything sound awesome :) I wish I could play that good!

[richardson5001]

Out standing

[SEPHIROTS1]

INCREIBLE GENIAL

[88RainyCloud]

You're GREAT!

[HtheB]

I can't stop watching......

[xmyownpersonx]

Why did Nobuo Eumatsu have to leave Square!?

[JamesLockehart23]

@xmyownpersonx

He wants to be more of a freelance composer. He still does songs for Square-Enix but he also does songs for games of different companies.

[RibbitGoFrogGo]

i need a nylon now great cover

[r2cristi]

what model is this guitar ?

[blitzwater]

@r2cristi

It's a Godin Multiac. I'm not sure about the actual number but, it's from that series. Nylon string.

[omegasephiroth93]

thank you very much for the tabs, i'm having a really good time trying to learn this, excelent ! 5\5

[Albion72]

The song plays a lot most notably as you walk through Kilika Jungle on your way to the Temple. Also in Macalania Woods, and the final place I can think of is in the cave containing Yojimbo.

[serpent918]

@Albion72 Inever could find the Yojimbo place. And I couldnt get to Anima either, tho I knew where he was.

[Albion72]

Yojimbo is in the calm lands after you fight Defender X. The big stone hulking thing that punches you and what not. You have to run where he came from instead of across the bridge. There will be a cave down there.

To be able to get anima you have to get all the destruction spheres and unlock all the treasures at every chamber of the fayth.

[EDMAN9411]

You are the best

[CherryBlossomMichi]

were was this song at in the game...i haven't played it in a while

[philokalomen]

The song was played as a background music to the Macalania Woods....Remember that shimmering place where the main characters kissed for the first time? This was at the Macalania Woods.

[agux777]

fantastic, i loved it!

[thealmightyX]

thanks for linking that tab! This song is beautiful beyond comparison and actually not to difficult to play :D once again thanks, and i recommend others clicking on the link in the description box and giving this song a go. Sounds excellent

[Akaezy]

I normally don't write anything significant but....this is beautiful beyond description. You are truly incredible. Please, cover more ff.

[skippieLou]

Good people and fans of this legend, please rate the video, it deserves more credit. I watch the playlist alot and rate each time i view, I JUST LOVE IT!!!! Blitz, thank you and your dad for such inspiring talent. *huggs*

[UMDDeathicus]

isnt it just in 3/4?

[YukinaRaven]

You're never too old to appreciate amazing music, which FF has. :)

[SonicTheEggNog]

Could this be...the best ff music tribute on the entire internet?

[gilibrasil]

Beautiful song.

[allesist]

Super

kannst richtig schön gitarre spiel

weiter so mein freund :)

[sandwich4life]

isn't he old enough to play final fantasy? :p

[Thulle3]

I think you meant "isn't he to old too play final fantasy?" and the answer is NO!

[MiscymLibera]

You are never too old to play FF. I played the 7th and 8th when i was like 5-6, and until now I still play FF :D

[turboamante182]

suena muy chido

[useyourillusion28]

ohh man i love this song....

[xTheRevisionistx]

Man, that guitar has an amazing sound. It's so ... idk, full or warm, can't put my finger on it, but it sounds amazing. Your playing was top notch too

[tustanal]

guy you're awesome!

[pokergenius93]

sounds like vincent's theme from ff 7 don't you think?

[IAMINDESPAIR]

or maybe silk steel?

[IAMINDESPAIR]

steel or nylon?

[TheKarlsen]

pretty sure it's nylon.. :p

[freontec]

teh r0x0r

[TheKarlsen]

hmm, playing by the tab.. and everything ain't correctfrom the sound of how you play it ;|

[aCurrier]

whether or not he's playing exactly like the tab, it sounds pretty good

[livingoutloud40]

Esoteric skill *__*

[Ike6694]

u pwn man this song im trying to learn it. i have only nailed 1 pentaram and half of the other one :S i cant do it as fast as u but its something :D. anyways good job u this song is awsome on guitar

[infinitism]

this song can silence the beast within anyone.

[ShadowL1Vs]

thats crazy you should do Tidus's theme or selbina.

[MrCloudCompany]

It's the first I have heard an arrangement for guitar so pretty and so nice !

Congratulations ! Don't Stop !

[PianoSensei90]

Phenominal. Never thought you could do this on Guitar. LoL I'm busy learning this on piano at the moment, actually. :] I'm kinda partial to the Guitar version. Like "LotusReaver" posted, it gives the song kind of a romantic feel. Kinda wish I learned how to play acoustic now. XD

Very well played, my friend. Es magnifico :p

[Oyagnoh]

How are you learning the song on piano? If I may ask. I couldn't find any tutorials for this song. =/ And it's hard for me to learn from music sheets.

[agustintintin]

me encanta esta cansion

[mrsellemby]

blitzwater, is it possible to get an mp3 version of this (by your father), if possible?

[zuhane]

Speechless...

[MaiKenZen]

this is so beautiful damn do i need a lot of practice if I want to play like that

[soriku2009]

is interpreted more perfect final fantasy x all (snif)

[bosomfondler]

what?

[Unlifee]

Just... perfect.

(snif).

[ibanaza]

that is friggin awesome!

[lotusreaver]

Wow! Great job. Keep up the good work. The guitar definitely gives the song a very different flavor: a bit less 'mysterious,' a bit more 'romantic.'

[guitarnublet]

so true!

[trpbankai]

omg amazing

[rickortiz7]

GRRR.....I want to learn a final fantasy song on guitar so friggin' badly, but they're so damn hard. Blitz I would pay your dad for guitar lessons, seriously.

[TheKarlsen]

nah, they aren't that hard, this ain't that hard either.. just really hard to remember everything :P Try To Zanarkand, easy shit :) atleast I can do it so.

[rationalhumano]

Does anyone have tabs for this song? I would like to play it as well XD.

[soocool78]

its in the comment

[Abicusx]

so relaxing

[theguitarlol]

It's not a hard song to learn, it's around 50 seconds when you rotate it the whole way to first note. Just think of how you do F majors, jump into A minors, and A major shapes, the whole song can be learned by experimenting ^^ Hope this helps :p I also did it a long time ago but mine is not near as good :O

[ZackHiro]

i want to learn it, but there is only a blank screen on the blogspot :(

the tabs are missing :(

[14AMADEO14]

What notes do you use????????

[Daltrey1994]

Your dad looks like a nice guy! and a great player!

[bbadmike]

AWESOME fing video.

love it.

great job

[streetfreak]

Godin makes a good guitar.

[Liam1983bass]

a beautiful piece of music beautifully played, its a pleasure every time i listen to it.

[Binfieldius]

Listen to it every day <3

[mrsellemby]

for some reason, this is one of my favourites. I don't know why, but I simply love it.

[flibo]

You rock.

[bemjamin]

yay i just learned it!

[iisirish411]

is it hard?

[bemjamin]

The some of the chords are hard to hit right away. notes flying around everywhere haha.

yea dude it's not too hard, i started by fingerpicking though. So i may be more adept in it than other people that started using picks.

it's a great song man, im sure you could learn it if you tried. it took me somewhere around 2 hours to get it down.

[bemjamin]

oh by the way i don't play the last two chords in the end of the song. the one's that go really high. i just, didn't feel it fit the song too well haha. i know that's how it sounds but. eh!

[iisirish411]

GOOOSBUMPS oooooo thx for tabs man AWSOME JOB i hope to be as good as u some day

[AshISMusicallyHungry]

nice one mmate. you should chech out ffx silence before the storm lonlonjp version  its very good, keep it up ^^

[OnyxMass]

A Multiac Nylon SA. To be specific.

[kickinthecunt666]

nicely done <3

btw what knid of guitar is thes??=]

greetz

[OnyxMass]

It's a Godin... you heathen...

[Albion72]

Can someone please explain the relevance of that 22 in the tablature thats near the beginning of the song that is played within the first 20 seconds of the video?

[Thulle3]

It's not 22, it is 2 2 :) 2x f# :) Hopes this helped!

[Albion72]

Ah. So he simply plays the second fret of the D String, twice? That makes sense I suppose... Thank you.

[Thulle3]

Oh, excuse me, that makes it 2x E. My mistake :)

[gmanrios9316]

i cant stop listening to it your amazing!!

[Albion72]

Ok lol, I just realized the 22 could be the 22nd fret... I see two problems with this though. In the video, the guy does not go to the 22nd fret, and my guitar ends on the 22nd fret, and we know that that is not a note you can play.

[Albion72]

I have a question.

The tabs linked in the description have a certain few numbers that are right next to eachother like 22 instead of 2-2. What does this mean? I'm afraid I don't knwo :(.

[Abono2ta]

700 people rated thus video 5 stars.. really well played

[Caedin8]

OMFG THIS IS AMAZING <3

[NyappySBY]

You're so great -^.^- I'm going to start playing the guitar soon and I know that if I can play like that someday, I'm a good player

[921144666]

the mic pick up sounds awesome! Good playing man!!! :-)

[Heliosas]

Awesome

[JoansyOfArk]

OMG im learning this now

[WAMEDJO]

Sooo cool to have a father that plays FF music !

[Deathclipse]

very f'n good to hear over and over again make an mp3 please if you can! :3

[lovegames007]

omg its awesome! im having my headphone on right now and its sound so freaking awesome!! I love it!

[OoTrigun1127oO]

Bravo

[nevermorecbf]

so exactly what kind of guitar is that? I'm looking to buy a classical or a flamenco guitar myself and I like that one's tone. (p.s. I learned to play this song too!)

[tor678]

Read the description. :-P

"silence before the storm played by my father on a _godin_ acoustic guitar"

[nevermorecbf]

yeah i knew it was a godin but I just found out it's a multiac series

[AddixXxion]

where did you get the tabs?

[Abono2ta]

read the info box man>>>>>>>>>

[TeamKillerS28]

Amazing =]

[SKAubry]

Beautiful rendition of this song. Very different sound and feel, yet it is still the same song. Very impressive!!

[Timthewicked]

Funny how an exotic-sounding song like gets a more rural touch to it when played on the guitar. I really love your work mate, keep it up. 5/5.

[Raymetrious]

Da guitar look kinda cool ~~~

[ixbleedxfire]

Hey can you send me the tabs to this song? I'm just starting guitar but I always wanted a good advanced song and calm before the storm was one of my favorite ff songs ever.

[bluesvalerio]

ixbleedxfire look in the info box on the right side

[sesshomaru022]

omg, u are making me jealous at how good u r! It's really REALLY awesome

[Ghostwolf55]

wow just wow that was epic

[swdfish21]

Favorited.

[richards1986]

you play it fantastically mate, iv checked the tab and its not too bad because there is not so many chord shapes to arpeggio, i think this might be easier than fisherman's horizon (ff8) which im learning at the moment, but it sounds a hell of alot better. 5/5!

[Siegfried92140]

Like this man !

[Grove0730]

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

[SnakeYRP18]

love it good job

[giangyyyyy]

I'd rather have this played instead of the game's LOL .
