Sunlit Earth (SotC ending theme) ~guitar ver.~

[UltimaXG2]

WAIT, THE MP3 IS NYLON. HEEHEEHEE.

[Toffmonster]

@UltimaXG2 Haha, the mp3 is also played with steel strings, just on a classic guitar. :)

[UltimaXG2]

@Toffmonster Oh, wow. Which guitar is made of what wood? It sounds a lot different.

[Toffmonster]

@UltimaXG2 Um, that Walden D550TB from the video has solid spruce top and the rest is mahogany, while the guitar from the mp3 is one old German Musima Resonata from the 80s which is probably maple, but I'm not sure. That Resonata was made for nylon stings, but I replaced the mechanics and installed steel strings on it.

[UltimaXG2]

@Toffmonster Oh, wow.  That last sentence.

[FFVIIBertoldiBrasil]

Thumbs up! Great video!!! Congratulations!

[Tricky0032]

amazing <3

[greenlizardballs]

I was skeptical when I clicked this link. I didn't know it'd be this damn good. This arrangement is truly moving. I applaud thee.

I clicked the link to the tab immediately. However, it did not work. ):

But I congratulate you either way. You are a great musician.

[666jet]

@greenlizardballs i got the ab to work just now. try again. you have to click on the link below the tab name where it says download from mediafire... or you can send me your email and i'll send the pdf to you if you still cant get it to work. happy picking!

[Yonraththeblack]

[Tristan173]

[wewyllenium]

Just great. :D

[escaflowne3]

holy goddamn cheese balls, this is my favorite track off the OST. never thought i'd get a tab for it. you are awesome

[rtyankeedoodle]

1 quick question- Is it a steel string guitar?

[Toffmonster]

@rtyankeedoodle Yup, it is.

[UltimaXG2]

@Toffmonster Would you be willing to re-record this on nylon strings? O: I like it, but I feel like it'd sound a bit better on nylon. :3

[7ArtangeL]

hey!! you are cool

THANKS for the tabs!!!!

[amsackrss]

That was beautiful, good work!

I played this game a log ago, and this song was specially beautiful, but at that time i didn't play guitar; now i do, and thanks to you i'm gonna be able to play this song and show it to my friends :D Thanks!

[Enperuto]

[theworldinthemyhand]

[Melchotov]

Still trying to get it to the speed of the piano version..

Not sure if it's humanly possible yet. XD

[techomatic2000]

[8CaptainHowdy]

You rock!

[blahdob]

I just came

[LrdVnm]

@blahdob Seconded.

[MelancholyPriest]

Damn dude, that was amazing.

[ferna700]

perfecto, simplemente eso =D

[ferna700]

OMFG increible T.T, te salio perfecto =D

[Aveilthe]

A very beautiful song, and very appropriate for a guitar! I love the game Shadow of the Colossus, more so the soundtrack which I believe made the game... absolute.

[TheLonelyWarrior1]

Execelent!

[Tsukasa009]

Awesome arrangement! on acoustic this is like an epic camp fire song!

[TheNumber1313]

gr8. I have really enjoyed

[elfandali]

Beautiful arrangement :) Love this song!

[LifeDrag]

Have you ever thought of posting a slowed down version of this song? It'd be like a how-to-play video. I LOVE this song and I really want to play it, but I can't seem to get the picking down. This is just a request, so don't feel obligated to do it xD Thanks anyway!

[Toffmonster]

@LifeDrag There's a link to a tab in the description. Isn't it better than a slowed down how-to video? :]

[LifeDrag]

@Toffmonster Well, it definitely is very helpful. I've got the placement down with my left hand because of it. My problem is the way I should pick the strings in. I know what order, I just can't tell what speed or how much time there should be between each pick. That's the best way I have to explain it. I'll keep practicing though! ^^ I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

[SpiritofWander1]

@LifeDrag This song is for experts.

[dfering]

increible!!! me gustaria ser como tu con la guitarra T_T!

De Chile :P!

[Toffmonster]

@dfering Muchas gracias! Yo no soy tan bueno con la guitarra sin embargo. ^^'

[dfering]

@Toffmonster te tocas un temazo de SOTC y dices eso? compadre no sea modesto! usted es super bueno! felicidades! es uno de los mejores temas de SOTC :P! ojala te toques otras buenas canciones

[certoplz1]

just amazing! congratulations!

this song almost make me cry. *-*

[djh491]

Amazing cover dude! I actually kinda like this better than the original. The original just sounds epic, but this is so gentle and relaxing :)

[xXxGoyexXx]

Damn good!!! But u look gay!

[XKaliber2097]

Great job. I am working on it now and this is by no means an easy piece.

[Scapps91]

quiet yet still attains the beauty and grace... WELL DONE!!!

[churuminiu]

[Toffmonster]

You think? Thank you! :)

[AnimatorDave]

Are you a man or a woman? Seriously no offense and I think it might be air in your shirt but I see breasts...

[Toffmonster]

Seriously no offence but it seems like this video of mine attracts people who are insecure about their sexual orientation.

[MrCbone93]

how do u know those arent pecs bro

[agustintintin]

woooooooooooooooooooooo Emotional song

[1927372Max128934102]

Amazing :D cant wait to learn it!

[BotlegGuadaloupe]

[chilean1980]

:O awesome

[BLARGEN69]

I couldn't help but wonder, what gender are you?

[Toffmonster]

Pondering if you should feel attracted to me or not? xD

I'm male, man. I'll just assume you're a man 'cause I don't really care, okay? Good.

[BLARGEN69]

HO YEAH, PEGGY HILL. Your grammar makes me face a sudden attraction towards yourself lovely gentleman who knows how to finger good. No really, this is very nice.

[Elk4587]

thats f'ed up

[are1991]

[MrTerminationful]

you're very talented by the way

[qishmish]

от музыки коу отани возникает чувство полета, да)

отличное исполнение! (по крайней мере с моей точки зрения..  я пока еще нубик. )

[AzureBIiss]

Nice

[CesarTakezoNomura1]

Ok sorry.

[CesarTakezoNomura1]

Why you look at the camera every time?!

[Toffmonster]

I'm wasn't looking at the camera, I was making sure there wasn't any alerts about the loss of sound or video.

[CesarTakezoNomura1]

Ok.I said that because you were causing fear with that look

[blahdob]

Weaponry that is the end of the universe... be careful with that guitar toff!

[Rhoadin]

ive got the hang of it now but one problem (the ending part thingy is tricky)

[Rhoadin]

im using electric guitar so its tricky

[Rhoadin]

the only problem i have is the pinkie!!! my pinkie is throbbing from trying to play this for 7 hours

[Rhoadin]

ok. ive almost masterd the first two pages!!! ive never heard of the game zanzarah. ill do that song after this one. send me a tab link for it plz

[Rhoadin]

omg omg omg omg ty soooooo much... ive beeen dying to get the tab for this song... it has such a beautiful melody

[Toffmonster]

You're welcome. It's a beautiful melody indeed. And not that hard to play either. :)

You may notice that I played it slightly different in the video compared to the tab, since I played it by memory, and I wrote the tab long before I made this video. The tab is more correct though.

I saw you wanted to post a video of yourself playing this song, send me a link when you upload it. :)

[sambo3771]

that was amazing btw

[Toffmonster]

Thanks a lot! :)

As for the tab, right-click and choose "Save As..." instead of just clicking the link.

It might happen that the server it's uploaded stops working, so try again later in this case. Just re-checked the link it and works for me.

[sambo3771]

dang tab isnt working =(

[jayhogg152]

sounded awesome

[losttallows]

Very nicely done.

[LucionTN]

Wow, can you write up a tab please?

[Toffmonster]

Added to the description.

[LucionTN]

Awesome, thanks!

[LivingInUkraine]

Такая классная техника! А что у тебя за гитара?

[Toffmonster]

Да ладно, мне ещё учиться и учиться. ^^' Но спасибо за комплимент! :)

А гитара - Walden D500TB.
