  • awsome!!!

  • flippin awesome

  • This is my favorite version of this song period.

  • watch?v=HABYaIn_Xd8

    jazz remix

  • Q.Q.. i didn't wait for shadow and he died !!! Q.Q!!!

  • FANTASTIC! Breaking out my SNES TODAY to play final fantasy III.. and then some tetris thanks to your other videos. lol

  • You sir, are a God!! i listen to all ure tabs because im uber Legend of Zelda fan!!! also im amazed at how you tackled the final fantasy music, cus its composed with like 5 different instruments in each song 8 {D

  • Awesome job! 5 stars!

  • blowjob XDDD

  • Wow nice man.

  • That's the ESSENCE of the Ninja/Western lonewolf that is Shadow. Perfect adaptation Caleb. Simply perfect!

  • LOVE IT!

  • At the risk of getting my head bitten off, I do believe this is one of the best covers around the net these days. The guitar follows the natural flow of the western feeling that Shadow's theme has, the bass is soft on the pace and the flute captures the very essence of being that Shadow possesses: A man whom above all else is a Lone-wolf. Think of a Shadow moment, and imagine him walking towards the sun at sun-set. That's my scene at least.

  • Dude if you could find someone to play the jew's harp then this would be the best cover of Shadow's theme. Great job though

  • @BuffaloSpencer87 fuck yeah, jew harp in the back would be perfect..he emulates it nicely with the timing of the empahsis of his strumming though :]

  • You fucking play the recorder!??!?!?! Fuck my life! We need more talented gamer gentlemen such as you. please continue your awesome works!

  • imba talent !!!!!

  • You can find Shadow in two ways. I don't think you even have to wait for him. If you do you'll find him in a Cave, if you don't I think you can run into him at a coliseum.

  • gotta do all of the above. wait for him, ifnd him in the cave, then he runs off to the arena

    and you find him there.

  • Umm, Shadow doesn't die, provided you wait for him. Then in the World of Ruin, you can find him at the Coliseum if you ante a Striker.

  • (spoiler)

    At the very end of the game during the airship escape (after kefka is defeated)

    Shadow falls off the ship, it is implied he dies, but he's such a badass he'd probably survive.

    (/spoiler)

  • He only dies if you choose not to wait for him when the floating continent collapses.

    I don't think he dies in the end. I think he sends Interceptor to stay with his little sister, and decided to start a new life far removed from the sins of his past.

    Great tune, BTW.

  • He doesnt die, he just doesn't join.

    You can get shadow also in an arena if im right, if you beat him he joins the group.

  • @xxjonkoxx

    You have to wait for him @ the floating continent (5 seconds remain when he shows up, always) in order to get him @ the Coliseum in the WOR.

    If you don't wait for him, then he's gone for good. For real.

  • I dont remember it that way, I didnt wait for him.

    And later had him in my party when I beated him in the coliseum...

    That's how I remember it, been long time, I just listen the this song :p

  • Its his daughter :P

  • nice job, Shadow need his own storyline and game about his life

  • man it sux that shadow had to die in the end

  • I don't think he dies.

  • Fucking amazing!

  • come, INTERCEPTOR!

    so cool \o/

  • God Comes!

  • I still don't get why give a western sounding theme to a ninja besides the Rule Of Cool, but screw it, it's a freaking nice song.

  • i think of the song more along the lines of a lonewolf type of character instead of a western

  • hes not just a ninja, hes a ninja assassin!

  • this song always sent shivers down my spine , and you took it up a notch

  • just wanted to let u know i love your recorder work this and cyan's theam are both fantastic, its rly to bad ur leaveing us. Just come back alive and make some more music, people around the globe will all rejoice

  • is that a recorder on steroids? lol, but yeah, dude, you're awesome

  • no words can describe how inhumanly epic that was XD

  • I there any instrument you can't play??? Legend...

  • My thoughts exactly. Caleb seems to be able to play a variety that I have never seen matched before.

  • You sir, are talented!

  • Amazing as always CalebElijah!

  • God, how come I haven't seen this before O.O

    Absolutely awesome!

  • Very nice

  • Holy sh...This must be the most perfect cover of Shadow's Theme.

  • A six string bass!? So cool. I thought it sounded fret-less till the screen shot appeared! Very nice. I love all your videos.

  • this is bad ass, great job!!

  • I can not favorite this enough.

  • Playing flute, guitar, bass, singing and drawing.

    Is there something you can't do?

    Is CalebElijah synonym of awesomeness? For sure.

    5 billion stars and faved.

  • Hmm shadows theme reminds me of a song I heard somewhere before, but I forget which one. an older style song I think.

  • You continue to impress me and everyone else Celeb...so keep it up!!

  • I heard your versions of Zelda themes, then Tetris, then Dr Mario and I came up to here, from all the one I've heard this I think is the most fantastic, but I haven't even heard half of them. Just needed to make a stop and let you know how great I think you play

  • My God thats sweet, you brought to life on of my favorite RPG theme songs and Im thankful for it.

  • You have done a very good work!

  • hooooly shit! goosebumps <3

    awesome dude, really!

  • omg man no instrument u cant use eh?

  • I approve of the alto recorder in this video.

  • you play really well!!

  • Nice tone

  • This is my favourite theme from the game, and the one of my favourite char, and you do it fucking awesome!!! Keep up!

    Love all the different instruments and the different "layers", such as a bass-tune, a comp-guitar, and a main guitar. and, of course here, the flute

  • That is not a flute it is a recorder btw

  • You are....wow! Just...Wow! Keep it up!

  • DUDE! THIS ROCKS!

  • Talented musician

  • I want the MP3 of this!

  • Wow. This is great.

    Your recording equipment makes everything sound awesome!

    Aside from the equipment, you're very talented, as we all can see from this video.

  • tenor or alto recorder? i am thinking tenor. am i right?

  • tenor it is.

  • thought so, i love the sound you give it. how long have you played that thing?

  • I picked it up a few years ago. (I think about 3 or so? but I don't practice as much as I should, or I would be better)

  • You are amazing for only playing for 3 years, almost as good as those Peruvian guys. :p

  • @CalebElijah well you give it a kind of western sound i think its very beautifully flowing through my ears.

  • @enkilakasha

    shadow's theme has a very strong western feel to it, always as :3 never knew why, lol, but it works for him i guess... this guy brought it out perfectly ^_^

  • You made my day....thank you!

  • I would absolutely love to hear your version of Matoya's Cave or Garland's Temple from FFI. :)

  • You should to do cosmos cannon from final fantasy 7 i bet u would make it sound better than it does now.

  • I second Cosmo Canyon.

  • i also second

  • awesome :D

  • i want download that theme but played by u

  • Damn dude, nice job. I love this song.

  • You are a badass....

  • AWESOME!!!

    All your videos are really amazing!

    Thank you for playing all the songs of the good old nintendo!

  • beautiful

  • As opposed to what, fat fingers? I think you're jealous of his skill.

  • dude your insane with these game music video's

  • Does anyone here have the notes for the recorder?

  • oh snap, did not expect anything but a guitar

  • haha Right? I started cracking up, not gonna lie. It caught me completely off guard.

    Love it though. 5/5

  • YO!amaze cover,nice orquestra-man

  • wow dude you realy perfect im sure you could earn money with this ^^ i love youre music hehe

  • -EPIC-

    No more words... words cant express what i think of this cover. And btw shadow rlz! Why did he die?!?!? ;__;

  • You can save him if you wait long enough at the floating continent ;)

  • Ye i know, but anyways he die in the ending... it is supossed. :o Spoiler!

  • Great!

  • IT IS SPELLED THOUGH!! Not thought~ thought means the past tense of think. Not thunk, not thoughten; thought.

    It's just confusing to read, thats all.

  • This is so awesome.. i can't describe in words...

  • bravo

    how long didi it take for you to master this theme

  • dont take this offensively but you asshole i had planned on doing this!

  • Wow you play so many different instruments. :D Did you learn them all by yourself?

  • es chingón el huey

  • Personal Od1n89 "Shadows Theme" is one of my favorites, that may because I enjoyed playing Final Fantasy VI a lot. It maybe just because I love ninjas, though it might be that it is all of my friends are also FF VI fans and they love Shadows Theme. All 13 of them, so is it so unpopular?

  • neat!!

  • nice one :D

    shadows theme is fairly unknown so im quite surprised that you play it

  • FFVI is so not unknown. Well kinda. People know it just have not played it. Happens with most legendary games. Unlike others, thought, I actually track these games. I bought secret of mana for $100.

  • He was referring to this track, specifically. Since Shadow is an optional character at first, I'm sure he's often overlooked.

    Though FFVI is kind of overlooked as well, who sank their teeth first into FFVII and FFVIII, really, and that makes up a good amount of people.

  • Oh. Thats right. Most people did not get into it as much as I did. Maybe only 50% of the players. Shadow was really cool thought. I really think they should remake this in high def. Maybe (aaarghhh!) even on the ps3. I prefer the wii thought.

  • i'm guilty of playing FF7 first.

    recently picked up FF6...best decision of my life.

    also, awesome recording caleb ;x i wish i had the equipment you have.

  • im pretty sure that's a bass recorder

  • its so good... I can hardly believe it's a recorder playing...

  • very nice vibrato :D

  • Nice! What kind of flute are you using?

  • I'm pretty sure that's a recorder...could be wrong though too sleepy to really tell. -.-

  • i think that is a alto... not sure but 60-70%

    if im wrong... im wrong lol

    Fcking great cover

  • Oh no. That's definitely a tenor.

  • You just made that instrument cool. Wish you could just go out in the park and do that stuff, i'd be like "MAN! SHADOW'S THEME! YOU'RE THE BEST!"

  • hehe if he played that out in the public he'd draw all the RPG fans to him and control them like Lemmings hehe.

  • Haha, no one could've said it any better, Gonk; ingeniuosly said :-D

    Nice job as usual, Caleb:-) *wants more*

  • amazing!

    i'd really love to hear some more ffvii tunes btw ;)

  • I think the bass part is played on like an oboe or something :\

  • That's a sweet recorder...It sounded awesome.

  • I wish I had your recorder.

  • Geez, is ther ANY instrument you DON'T play? :D

    Keep it up man!

  • where can i download your mp3 files for your wonderful song ? not just the link to listen ( if we can have these masterpiece )

  • Quote "At first I didn't like this"

    So you like it now? or is it just me thats confused.

  • When someone says 'At first I...' it's implied that the opposite proposition is now true.

  • What kind of recorder is that?

  • I'm totally making an mp3 out of this.

  • omg bro u are good :D

  • Beautiful. One of my favourite themes. Can listen to it forever.

  • Is there any instrument you can't play?! You're Awesome

  • wonderful! absolutely wonderful! It sounds like it should if FF6 were a movie!

  • This is amazing, one of your better ones! so simple yet so awesome

  • dude!

    You play everything!sklajd;s;as

    You are soo freaking amazing.

    I love you.

    lol.

  • In what key is that recorder?

  • nice one dude

  • Amazing

  • is there anything you can't do man? incredible

  • This is great! i really liked how you used a freakin' recorder!

  • I love you.

  • rivals even the original one props my dude

  • you are a master!

  • Fantastic, I can listen this all the day! :D

  • What is that? It looks like a giant recorder, but I think it must be an Indian style flute? Just plastic?

  • its a tenor recorder

  • Dude you are too talented! It's sickening! You put so much soul into this songs, Nobuo Uematsu probably wished this was the sound file he could've put in FF6!

    Amazing! Now if you'll excuse me I am going to watch more of your vids. Cheers!!

  • I want your bass.

  • I can't resist making this comment, but

    All your bass are belong to us.

  • What you say?

  • Someone set up us the bomb

  • faptastic

  • Kind of a lullaby.

  • I agree with Bavarianmotorwerks. Without the jaw harp it just isn't shadow's theme. I love that bouncy almost Australian sounding twang it has. For some reason that instrument is very popular in Japanese cartoons and games. I hear it a lot in dragon ball. Oh well, this is still a great song! I DO love the way you play it, so don't get me wrong. You are still the king of youtube musicians in my book, and one of my all time favorite subscriptions!

  • No offense...but where is the jaw harp at the beginning! I mean yeah, it's a dumb instrument, but it MADE this song!

    Still, great job though, AS ALWAYS!

  • I tried playing a jaw harp once, and even though I knew I was playing it right, it didn't seem to give the sound I wanted. Could have been a crappy jawharp. But I can hear where the guitar is playing that part.

    I don't disagree, just providing a possible reason.

  • Great music for traveling in a fantasy world or in seedy bar taverns or spaghetti westerns.

  • Man, unbelievable!

  • I'd really appreciate an MP3 of this song

  • i only wish my SNES wasn't broken. :(

    so i could play it again Setzer,Relm,GoGo,Umaro,Mog,Ter­ra,Celes,Strago,Shadow and Gau.

  • dont be hatin on lock and sabin now they were the best

  • u forgot edgar.

  • locke*

  • lol u forgot sabin and edgar, and LOCKE, umm, and yeaah, u put a space in shadows name =]

  • brilliant *clap clap*

  • Somehow, you put in this Japanese affect in the music. I found it rather relaxing.

  • I can't believe there are people dishonorable enough to sully Shadow's theme by attaching it to some WoW character...

    Disrespectful people, I'll tell ya...

  • Even as a WoW person, I must say, I completely agree with ya Seph. This is way too good for WoW character themes. Shadow is that freaking cool.

  • I've been watching your vids, for god knows how long now. But I'm still amazed at how well you put together and play these songs. :)

  • Same here I have Been Wondering around and some how was watching Chrono Vids To remind me of good times. And saw this Ist just amazing ^^ I really Do love it

  • Absolutely fantastic.

  • My most favourite song of all time.

  • If I could Pay you money, I would ;)

    You're truly amazing ^^

  • Omg, I just got goosebumps when that recorder came in.

  • wow me too!

  • YESS!!!! back to doing the bass lines!!!!
