Secret of Mana - Gaia's Navel (Distant Thunder)

[PaulThePuppetier]

spent fucking hours training at that place. the music is stuck in my brain forever. thank god it's so awesome

[Joneshing]

Fucking inspired. Bravissimo. Please release a longer version. This ruled

[c1vineoflife]

After all these years, this is the only game I keep coming back to. I've played it more than I have FF7, which is almost blasphemy.

[joes83]

you guys are forgeting about the very underrated breath of fire games. they were good up until 4.

[Hawkeye156]

Best song from Secret of Mana! Nice version!!

[Mahari316]

sounds like street fighter XD

[greenthumbgrow]

This is good, very very good, however Flammie theme is still my fav.

[Timus2shoes]

what is that bass part at the very end its not on the gametabs.net tab

[Donut117]

the way you record these songs produces a much better quality than i hear on other videos. good job.

also love this game.

[BlackTear]

omg this is just soooo epic!!

i wish it was longer!!

but like this (with an e-guitar) it reminds me of the Plok soundtrack XD

[roccodu62800]

Very very nice job! some little default but nice nice nice! congratulation! keep going

[pyroblage]

Nice Dude! I Love Secret of Mana :)

[PissingInAction]

The by far most complicated song on guitar from SoM and you really aced it!

Wish you all the best in U and hopefully new stuff from you soon.

[diamondlancer]

Wow, you're very talented!

[Ravenistico]

niiiiiiiice!! my only complaint is it's too short!! XD make a longer one!!!! that part at the end sounds siiiick too but it ends right there when it starts! A+ work man, excellent job!!

[RaiseThySword]

I remember back then when I played the Gaia's Navel part... I would spent hours training and wandering around there just to listen to this beautiful music xD and this version rocks *_*

[PiedPiperOfHameln]

i think its your best cover

[LightYagamixRyuk]

that guitar has some pretty fuckin sick tone XD

your a god at guitar also :P

[Proosdagel]

Very nice rendition from a classic game, nice upload!

[lkaruga]

I love the 0:39 - 0:40 sound. good video

[scottw182]

Dude that was awesome

[Minyobi]

Wow, that is simply how the song is supposed to sound.

[chosentonessournotes]

That's some sick tone you've got with that guitar.

[Lilaurenthys]

I seriously adore all of these. Haven't yet heard one that didn't make me smile and remember summer nights, post-swimming and munching on watermelon with my mom and Secret of Mana.

I would love to have a CD of these. Not just the tracks ripped of off YouTube, but a CD of full-length songs.

[horses36]

omg, i LOVE the sound of your guitar!

[Edsgravy0]

Amazing

Love the little riff at 0:23

[legolasone]

The guitar sound is just perfect. The amount of distortion etc. Also, the idea of composing the whole song with nothing but guitars and bass is great. Love it!

[SkallagrimNilsson]

Wow, this is just great... I imagine it must be quite hard to play that music so extremely well on a guitar.

[abbaboy]

Genial! Sublime! Perfect!

[jjcheez]

dude. this. is. so excellent you adapted the track for your guitar, and then you add your own flavor to it, that's just great. kudos!!

[Slammerbit]

Chrono may be good but no were near as good as times with you siblingins playing games like this.

[ChiloteFlaite]

cool solo is cool

[Koroigetsuga87]

glad that people still treasure such games

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

best snes game ever. period. PERIOD.

PERIOD!!!

[TheGuyNamedHenryG]

That can easily be argued. People say that Chrono Trigger was the best SNES game ever. And I also agree with that statement.

[discolando]

It's sort of like arguing which is better... chocolate cake or strawberry cake. At the end of the day, you're still getting cake.

[TheGuyNamedHenryG]

HA! Very true! Lol

[Slipknotix]

FF III/6 way better then chrono trigger secret of mana is also better then chrono trigger although i really would not wana pick between FFIII and secret of mana

[PwnStarr]

The most I've ever gotten emotionaly involved in a video game was Secret of mana, grandia 2, and legend of dragoon. And ff7 but that's a given.

[PaulThePuppetier]

@AnimalPlanetSFC7 hey,hey.There's Chrono Trigger too!!! I'd say Secret of Mana is the 2nd,for sure

[KainPyrotic]

@PaulThePuppetier I like Chrono Trigger as well, but comeon, it's not as full bodied epic as SoM. I might like Terranigma more than Chrono Trigger, thinking about it.

[timmymorris91]

@AnimalPlanetSFC7 There are so many great Snes games that it's too hard to pick the best. Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger, Lufia, Super Metroid.. the list goes on. But the Snes is the best console I have played.

[dvyhnz]

awesome dude, love that game

[jc2100123]

Amazing! You are a true GENIOUS! I hope someday that i can play even CLOSE to how great you are!

[kurojin97]

that bassline is insane!!! nice job!! 5 stars

[Garet2k]

that's so godlike!

[unigarro007]

haha

bro i like ur hairless

[Talos21]

Very nice! These videos are amazing!

[26thfret]

you're the man!it makes me think about me singing along with my super nintendo a few years ago.Thanks a lot,very good job!

[Shwauzz3]

I love this cover, hmm someone should do some drum covers of SoM songs, remember how good the drums were like in the palaces and stuff, mad double kicks and the like.

[CayanMagusson]

Man, I really wish I could play some of these. The bass and drums were the most badass of anything else out there. I joke with my cousin that Neil Peart of RUSH contributed to the drums because they're THAT AWESOME!

[Mongtufa]

I love listening to this music - I always imagine walking around with my brand new boomerang WHACKing all the huge insects and the little rosebuds. Excellent work on all these videos!

[qprmanzz]

haha same!

makes me want to play it again so much.. brings back memories of being little :D

[falenangel]

I see myselv with the Whip, same story thou :)

[AsAmIaM84]

Whatever he does, HE'S THE BEST! Cheers mate!

[xSwordx]

he probably has an overdrive pedal giving the sound much more bold tone

[cabarello1]

what is making this guitar sound so good? lol... i mean ive seen almost all this guys videos and they are all super clean sounding is it just the guitar or pedals/effects? *shrug

[lance1cj]

I bet he's got the guitar plugged right in to the computer to record, as opposed to many of these guys who are just using their little computer microphone to record them on an amp

[CalebElijah]

you got it right on.

[mattprzy]

@CalebElijah What kind of device do I need to plug in my guitar and bass to my computer? Does it come with software?

Oh, and wonderful, amazing job on this song, and all your other ones too :D

[brianbotkiller]

Nice work!

[hayokamashi]

Awesome !!! very cool guitar-cover version .

5 stars

[Pellotas]

yea buddy!!

[Sephiroth5008]

O.O !!!

5/5

[Firenzenco]

Prilliant. Game is also one of my faverite in SNES, but im stuck on it.

[xstarii]

So awesome... I loved this game... T_T;

[odiron]

Ta version de "Gaia's Navel" a un "je ne sais quoi" de plus sauvage que l'originale. Durant le jeu, on se laisait porter par la musique, la tienne nous donne envie d'aller de l'avant, de partir à l'aventure! Yeahh!

[mirasame]

Really awesome, I love this game

[Timus2shoes]

how does that last part on the bass go

[koekjesmeneer77]

Damn, way to go dude!

You got music of Lufia, Secret of Mana and The Legend of Zelda.. THE BEST GAMES I KNOW!!

You play them all very well..

Respect :).

[auranthro]

This is amazing. I am a huge fan of your Seiken Densetsu 2 covers.. wow. I am blown out of my mind.

[Ghostlybubble]

I wish Secret of Mana came out on Virtual Console =(

[auranthro]

It did, It's called ZSNES. >.>

[TraeThaTruth]

playing old games on computer is lame. I'll admit, I did it for SD3 but playing it on a console and TV is more fun especially since you can do multiplayer. I just wish they'd release an English translated version of SD3 on VC so I can play 3 player.

[MyOverflow]

You can do Multiplayer over the Netplay system in ZSNES, you just have to get one of the older version that has it enabled (they took it out of the newer ones to optimize it). It may be buggy, but it works.

Another alternative is to get USB Controllers. You can find them on eBay.

[lightningpete]

Why ? Do what me and my brother do, play using the one keyboard... he used the number pad and arrows, i used W A S D and FGHT for my keys, worked a treat.

Zsnes, and Rom hustler (to get the rom)

its quality

:D

[kingkirby7714]

i used do that with my sister all the time.

[06painter]

wait- USB Controllers for the SNES? as in, for the tv? do they seriously have those, cause we looked for years for those things!

[icelord89]

No but I'm sure you can get a magic box.

[06painter]

very cute.

[icelord89]

That wasn't sarcasm. There are things called magic boxes that convert controllers to USB. Google it.

[06painter]

yeah whatever. i was thinking of a splitter for multi-player action...obviously i was completely wrong.

[m3t4lislife]

This guy is one of the best ppl to play guitar on youtube

[Turkoz182]

I agree =) sound quality is pretty high too!

[BillyArtillery]

pretty sweet

[Comus182]

I wanna say the Seiken Disetsu (Spelling might be off XD) but those are sequels i believe. Legend of Mana also has alot of refererences to Secret, Mobs and such. Really fun game for playstation lol

Amazing guitar playing by the way^^

[Seiken3]

Shame on you for spelling its Awesome Name wrong! :P Seiken Densetsu!

Yeah, Legend of mana is also nice. Just got it for myself on DS and there's lots of mobs from SoM <3

[notyoursavior78]

Yeah I loved this song in the game. That is flawless guitar playing. Awesome work.

[tonyt3hpirate]

Gaia's Navel is in Chrono Cross too.. COINCIDENCE??

[valsu]

It's only by the same game company, but I guess it's a coincidence.

[Seiken3]

I remember when I took the cannon transport from the cannon guy to Gaia's Navel... I ALWAYS landed on a bee, killing it if I critted or seriously wounded it ^^ It was so awesome.

Lovely song, mate!

[mattprzy]

lol happened to me too!

[Blacksun1942]

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! Thanks for doing justice to the awesome music this game had.

[jackattack923]

Wow! You are awsome! The gutair sounds so in tune, so perfect. This is my favorite of all of yours!

Their is a song I noticed you never did. The Forest Theme. (On the road) I'd love it!

[mastatsan]

That was truely awesome... favorited!

[theromero]

just awesome - i love this game so much and calebelijah's recreations are beautiful

[crazyjose111]

this is my favourite piece by you. keep it up, its obvious you put a lot of work into your videos.

[ryanmclain12]

u should make words for these and sing it

[galacliva]

No he should not..... singing would mess it up...

[Canaanabolaanan]

Brilliance, once again. Although it sounded like you had a small degree of trouble on one of the higher leads. :)

[RioOt]

wow nice job mannn

[s0methingrare]

Nice tune. Thanks for posting this.

[JRFxtreme]

NICE!

Found this searching for a Sword of mana tab.

If you know where I can find a tab to that desert song in Sword of mana and also the gameboy FF3 talon theme (the 2 songs sound really similar) I'd be grateful.

Either way, great job! Tried out your tab for this and think it'll be awhile before I get any where near sounding like the vid.

[TidusUltima]

You are so fucking GREAT. Have u a homepage or something? Damn u should be a really popular man. Every one should know your great work. I want thank u that i can hear so amazing Remakes like yours in my life.

[olfskater]

perfect!

[esb369]

he plays the bass, he does it all

[evgenykravchenko]

wow, you are amazing :) You play both the bass and guitar, wow! :)

[jcdanslow]

[ss22e]

Excellent.

[lachose1]

Long life to IBANEZ!

[USCHoodman]

Ah so thats where I've heard this sound before, I remember someone busting out on an Ibanez back at a guitar store once.

[CrazyGirlyJay]

you are super!

[ebonhawk]

thanks for the links to the tabs, just started playin a bass and im pretty sure i can get those tabs haha and awesome vids dude cant wait to see the rest!!

[Seiken3]

God I love Secret of Mana as well with your songs...

Making me shiver of pleasure... You're so great!

[thedragon5000]

Lol, I played SoM again, all the way through, and as I listened to the music for the first time since I was 7 or so, I realised why I love Progressive Metal XD

[Wyndowlies]

Haven't played it in over 10 years.... but damn It sounds perfectly familiar.

[MackNW]

nice man, thse are awsome.

[Bertl89]

what humbuckers do you use on this guitar and which guitar is this?

[CalebElijah]

Iabnez Gio. factory everything.

[juduskrinkle]

omg caleb, YOU made a mistake, i dont understand

[falenangel]

Keep that comming! You are simply great at that

[Yaaka]

I had a really really crappy song stuck in my head... then I listened to this and it drove it away... thank you... as always awesome work... it's nice to see Secret of Mana getting some love...

Never heard this song, nor have i ever heard of the Secret of Mana. But very nice job anyway. Sounded really tight! True there were one or two errors that were minutely noticable. 5 stars and keep rockin!

[Quanturos]

[GloomSorrow]

[fung361]

[greedycigarson]

This was meant to be played like this. I always knew the SNES wasn't doing it justice. LOVE the work at the end (about 1:10).

[LRangerR]

good job as always dude. looks like you had a little trouble with this one tho. its all good tho youre still awesome. still waiting on shadows theme btw =)

[LaCliqueProdz]

When can we have "Killer Instinct Main Theme" ??

[Hideousclaw]

dude, you seriously have great taste in games, and music. You also have some mean chops, playing wise and sideburns. i like your bass to, im a bass player. Keep up the great work. id love to see more from some SNES games. Lufia, SOM, Breath Of Fire 1, FFVI. All great games

[Cynic66]

Well done! I'm so glad you keep going these, I love them. Keep it up!

[SeekerDelAzul]

It's like a hole - I dig it

[Ranxston]

Totally digging the bass in this.

[CrispyChicken]

Awesome! One of my favorite tunes from Secret of Mana!

[ErectionAtSchool]

Badass =D

[Nightwish55]

[snufkin789]

as always, adorable arrangement of the SoM-hiroki kikuta classic =)

are you also interested in covering some of the secret of evermore pieces by jeremy soule? maybe like one of the hall of collosia pieces would be great

[ZeroToHero77]

Nice to have you back Caleb, still enjoying your tunes.

[CaptCollins]

You have sideburns of a god. HAHA Uhm nice tune, well played as usual.

[fatboys5]

yes! ive been waiting for this

[DragonKoal]

hey I can got a request!

could you do that bof4 song when Fou-lu comes out of his tomb? I think the songs called Empereor, it plays when you first play Fou-lu in Breath Of Fire 4.

[levitynyc]

Great to have you back! Awesome as always!

[tavin15]

I know why I sucribed! 5*

[nstinson]

keep up the awesome work man. I love all your vids. Hopefully, you can get more songs from ff6, ct, and som done. those are my faves:-p

you should also do some super mario rpg

[SirFightsalot]

[xGORMOTHx]

Good to see you again bro!

Way to go!!!

[fearthewolf]

I love your stuff, man! All the games I played when I was a wee lad, and your renditions made me reminisce about how much I loved those games AND their music. I think you should try doing the Breath of Fire II boss theme (i think theres more than 1, so I guess the first one) as well. Keep em comin' regardless!

[Cocololap]
