[D1G1TALBLOX]

That guy has serious skill, and he is a TRUE Halo fan. GJ man :)

[TheSteffanno]

[TheNudeAssassin]

He must be using cheats.... and good ones....

[mateeah]

[DRDdrifterz]

yo can u put a tutorial? i just wanna learn the part at 2:11

[Coollimes]

@DRDdrifterz have a look at the annotations....

[DRDdrifterz]

@Coollimes my apologies but im horrible at reading sheet music.but alright ill just give it a shot, i just learn faster when i see someone play it

[Coollimes]

@DRDdrifterz  It's okay, have a try at the sheet music if you can, but I meant for you to have a look at my first tutorial video from about 50 seconds that should be what you're looking for youtube(dot)com/watch?v=otumww­_NXRw&feature=relmfu

[DRDdrifterz]

@Coollimes thanx dude. ill use this to help me learn how to improve my reading. keep up the good work :] im a fan now

[MrRagingScot]

@Coolimes How long did it take you to put this all together?

[Coollimes]

@MrRagingScot Thanks for your comment, I'd already figured out bit and pieces of the other themes before Jan 2010, then I began learning the Main Theme. I just put them in an order that I thought fitted together well and then recorded it in March. :)

[MrRagingScot]

Dude, this couldn't have been better if Master Chief himself played it

[DRDdrifterz]

this bring me back!! omg im rmembering so much of my child hood by listening to this. lol im only 23 but still, i used to love this game

[darkavenger95UK]

That was... possibly the best Halo nostalgia I have ever gotten from one clip.

I think you just won the internet.

Thank you for ending my day in the best possible way :D

[Coollimes]

@darkavenger95UK Great! :) Glad you like it!

[collectorobloxvideos]

[LewisB776]

While listening to this, I closed my eyes and pictured all the epic moments from Halo. So pretty much all of it. Awesome cover, thanks for bringing it all back to me!

Also, I like your dog :p

[THEDOWN27]

[iceflame5]

incredible medley!

[MZKPRODIGY]

I know every part to just about every piece from the halo franchise, i have all soundtracks from all the games and i have spent hours watching arrangements, making arrangements looking for sheet music and looking for covers/interpretations of themes from halo and by far this is my favourite arrangement i have found. be very proud.

[Coollimes]

@MZKPRODIGY thank you :)

[EdgarForce117]

Excelente Cover amigo! el mejor que he visto en mi vida ,recomendare tu video me gusto demaciado :)! ,saludos!

[Coollimes]

[OHWOW38]

[potatosordfighter666]

[TheBlabberboy]

[ThatGuyBen99]

[NerfSquirrel]

U made Beethoven look like a FUCKiNg nOOb! HaHA awesome Vid

[Coollimes]

@NerfSquirrel gotta give the guy some credit with being deaf n all tho ;) thanks a lot!

[ItsVonarerikson]

1:17 what's the music? :O

[Coollimes]

@ItsVonarerikson It's the start of the 'Impend' track from Halo 2, there's also an exact copy of it at the end of Brothers in Arms' track in Halo CE but it's transposed down a bit. :)

[ItsVonarerikson]

@Coollimes Thanks man! :)

[aitkensE04xXxRecon]

So amazing. Is there a name for this soundtrack? And I always love that part at 1:17 :)

[iAlphaOnGraal]

Holy shit you have taught me the true meaning of Halo

Right on man

[xXChingon2480Xx]

fucking amazing..,... just amzing

[Soundwaveification]

LOVELY

[baryon15]

0:49 is my favourite part.

[NSJimMenaMan]

I guess if your fingers are fast enough to quick snipe on BF2MC you could play just about anything on the piano.lol

[Coollimes]

@NSJimMenaMan bf2mc was a great game, prob still my favourite actually, tho BF3 will be fun :)

[lGhalis]

Que bonito tocas, espero que algun dia llegue ser como tu :D Felicitaciones n.n

[Coollimes]

[TheMlgwarrior95]

beautiful, imagine halo 3 without music

[simonpaul2]

that dog looked real

[GamingChubz]

i was drooling from this awesomeness im gonna try to learn this on the violin as well :)

[sidewinderacoustic]

I would be just as motionless and in awe as that dog if I saw you play this in person.

[RogerToledo32]

I'm goign to cry with happiness ... I fucking love Halo!!! I'm playing this for my talent show.

[halo4ever001]

@SangatRappa

ya man it is slaytly diffrent. he did almost everything one octava up, which is good. and took out the drilling of the left hand in the start. i meen what you start seeing from the left hand in 2:02

[Coollimes]

@halo4ever001 that is correct, I moved everything up an octave because I think it's truer to the original soundtrack, and yes I changed a few of the left hand "drills" are you call them in the piece. :)

[halo4ever001]

@Coollimes

ya man i realy like how you did it. i'm learning it now, i'm gone do it exctely like this awsome vid.

[ryanthepianoman]

WOW, that was completely amazing... Definately the best version on YouTube. :)

[Coollimes]

@SangatRappa de-script-ion!

[Coollimes]

@SangatRappa Thanks for your comment. Glad I could help!

[Coollimes]

@NDguy141 Thanks a lot! :D

[krayonna]

at the begining this must be won of the lesser known songs of halo it only comes when somebody important dies or at the end of the game or some levels

[87darknight]

grate job man...halo has the best music and a grate game

[VampireHalo1997]

Awesomenessssssss

[frostyere1440]

bit rushed at 55 seconds bud slow it down a little

[Coollimes]

@frostyere1440 This is my interpretation of the themes so expect some variation on the originals ;)

[frostyere1440]

@Coollimes ahh cool :) still good tho (Y)

[123Blindfury123]

the two dislikes are martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori

[MarionetteSoldier]

Any respect I had for my own piano playing abilities just faded into dust. Nice one mi amigo!

[TJVideoGames]

that is the most amazing thing ever

[naruchif1995]

which kind of piano are you using for play that song,because is posible to play that song in a casio CTK-451?

[Coollimes]

@naruchif1995 it's a Yamaha calvinova CLP-170 fairly oldish model now I guess but very good quality in my opinion. If you can stretch your budget something like the CP-300 is a great piano. I googled your keyboard, it would be possible to play per se, but you'll need a sustain pedal for all of these themes, plus different voices for the impend theme etc.

[naruchif1995]

@Coollimes thank you men :)

[chickineese1]

ur good

[supersniper511]

dude does the piano have to be electric or can it be regular

[ThtsWatSheSaid19993]

you've inspired me to become a pianist, to bad my family is to poor to get me leasons... and i can kinda play and i know were the notes on the piano is but i have a hard time fingering corectly. Im a very low class player when it comes to piano and im tryin to play this song...DIFFICULT IS THIS!!!!!!!!!!! can you give me tips?

[Coollimes]

@ThtsWatSheSaid19993 I'm glad you've decided to take up the piano! Aflred's Basic Piano Course is a good series of tutution books I would recommend. I used them when I first started lessons, they gradually get more difficult with each volume and you can go through it yourself without a teacher. Just take things slowly and the best way to master a piece is to go about it technically, start slow; one hand at a time if you need then build up the tempo gradually and do that until you've got it. =]

[Aw3s0m3n3ss100]

man you are so goood

[lizlover9]

This is crazy!! how long have you been playing for?!

[Coollimes]

@lizlover9 self taught since for two years since from when I was 9, then lessons until present :)

[Coollimes]

@lizlover9 and thanks for the comment! =]

[Portaleer]

I myself am a hardcore, die-hard HALO fanatic as well as play the piano. Right now I'm trying to master 'Tip of the Spear' from REACH (by ear) and then listened to this. This MOVED me...very well done. Quite literally one of the best pieces I've heard from a fan-- and the fact that you have it memorized?!! Very well done, sir and kutos to you. So epic... :D

[drihun5]

MOTHER FIGHJ TGBTHRJRFSJFSDJGDGF THAT W00000ZZZZZ AWESMOEM!!!!!

[1Estrgrd1]

That was pretty sick, not gonna lie. I was expecting to hear another halo cover where they come in, play the same thing as the last five people I just watched and be done and leave me still looking for another good halo cover on the piano... You blew me away bro. Was that all by ear?

[Coollimes]

@1Estrgrd1 Hi thankyou very much for your comment. I learnt the main theme mainly from the sheet music, the others are I worked out from the OST and I played this from memory. =)

[MAIDENrules100]

@Coollimes This is amazing well done im learning it now can u do lone wolf from halo reach its not too hard

[Portaleer]

@1Estrgrd1 I am a massive, hardcore, die-hard HALO fanatic and I must say that your piece MOVED me....so....epic.... -.- :D

[elatesword4xboxlive]

I don't think I have heard a better cover of this :)

[masterchief2k11]
