Video Game Themes on Piano

[haloisawesome8]

bowser is awesome very impressive

[TheStardust12]

..... my cat was kneeding to the last songs really low part... lol it was awsome

[ToyCarCrash]

i wish i could play that bowser theme. so badass

[ryancouture]

you did a good job replicating the subtle nuances of the bowser theme

[Holbeinisscheisse]

gorifater ... man ... you're such a genius, you don't even know what a genius you are! you're just amazing!

[Tilibou]

Bowser theme from nintendo 64 is just so memorable

[simmegutten]

Time to dust off the Gameboy and play zelda!

[simmegutten]

ahh, the zelda theme.... brings back memories ^^

[shadeswiththeflip]

i liked everything from your song selection to the clinic you put on with your skills... your the king of the keys

[UnicornSlaya]

Nostalgia....

[trentkill]

If you hate the camera angle it only means one thing: You laughed all day on September 11th 2001.

[mypedigreechums]

exellent work! :) cheers

[Footmanrunning]

You make me happy that you play Zelda music

All time classic, and it will be my all time favorite series ever =)

[SilverNightLily]

AHHH!!!! I HATE THE CAMERA ANGLE!!!!! KILL ITT!

[thelast1uthinkof]

link awakening, god damn, made me nostalgia hard.

[GigasoftProductions]

The Hyrule Castle theme in 15/8 meter? How strange. The chords in the second part should be: G#-G-G#-G-A#-G#-Adim-D, not F-G-F-G-A#-Fm-F-Dm. The other pieces are very well played, though.

[KitaxNekoSama57]

You reached my Childhood dude

:') Thanks.

[Fabianzandt]

final bowser theme 6/5!

[degollardor]

o.0 great work¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[sasquach37]

I love this, absolutely wonderful playing, except... the first part of hyrule castle, the notes are correct but the tempo/timing whatever it's called is waaay off on the left hand. Not the overall speed, but the timing of the notes together.

Anyways great job!!

[foozy12]

it's nice that you only put a song from one overrated game on there :)

[tharob]

holy crap this was awesome. chilbump inducing

[NoahLDiamond]

A higher quality video and audio would be much appreciated... but the musical intuition is fantastic.

[mizuuki]

WOW great work !!!!!!

[Zeldamusic333]

wow great job, for tah tah heights, did you play all the notes on the left hand after the intro? i cannot tell from the angle, when i play it, it sounds to fast and isnt enjoyable because it sounds like im rushing

[turnips4eva]

You are now my hero.

[XeNoyZ]

Wew okay, relaxt. Indeed, I'm not a keyboard geek :o

[XeNoyZ]

You play awesome. Too bad the quality of the video is very low :(.

[Fadetowhite88]

why, would you like to see his fingernails :D?

[coollein]

@XeNoyZ Don't know why this comment got so bad ratings, the sound quality isn't good and the pianoplaying is great

[Cornbinks]

Why is there no Phantom Hourglass? :|

[TeamEverBlazeVideos]

because this was made in 2006 and phantom hourglass wasn't even out in 2006 xD;

[Cornbinks]

I love how it took two days for someone to get that. XD

[TeamEverBlazeVideos]

lol

[algernonfrenchhorn]

cuz that game sux balls

[Cornbinks]

<---THE JOKE---< \O/ <-- YOUR HEAD

[VGPianoMan]

Great job! I love each of them :D Give my videos a look if you don't mind.

[AaronPorter07]

DUDE!!!!! I wish I could play like you.......5/5

[minoshia33]

I've listened to about 10 piano versions of the Final Bowser theme and yours is the best hands down. Perfect

[MattsterG]

The Zelda theme from Links Awakening is my favorite version of the song.

[TrueValandor]

I have a feeling that the opening chords of the Final Bowser theme are off... But that could be me.

[HampsterOfUtube]

Hey do you think you could do some fire emble sheet music?

[Ultimate0range]

I second this, plz make fire emblem sheetz!!

Btw you guys, it's not that hard to learn sheet music, for those of us who can; so I suggest that if you haven't, give it a try. =)

[Jecolo2005450]

Rael and Shad, Dont Freak about it! true, he does spend countless hours turning his own work and sharing it with us, and it is true Gori shouldn't have to do a tutorial to play the piano (or how to play the song), but it sounded pretty mean when you said it to him....

Anyway, Rael cant tell Shad what to do, and only Gori Fater can decide whether to make a tutorial, WITHOUT the pressure of the commenters, so there!

[GoriFater]

I'm not going to make any tutorials. I'd rather make new sheet music.

[mukraf]

hey Gori, could you somehow put the finger positions you use on the Link's Awakening Overworld Theme, cuz im having trouble with the ascending chords. just asking. great work mam

[mukraf]

how long does it take to make sheet music ?

[antitna]

I think at that lvl of playing a tut would be a waste of your precious time when u could be practicing gr8 music. Sheets should be sufficient. and 4 all who want the play at that lvl, learn how to read the sheets. It will improve and help your skills ALOT.

gr8 job by the way

[andrewg1990]

Thing is, when you know sheet music, it makes it a lot easier to play any given song without actually having to memorize individual songs or play them by ear. I don't actually play piano, but i'd definitely want to learn to read sheet music.

If you can play the piano I'd be surprised if you didn't know how to read sheet music...

[darek4488]

I've learnt his arrangment of Final Bowser and now I have a movie with my playing it on organ. Check my vids.

[TotalPenguins]

Love the piano playing, hating the camera angle. ^_^

[valberm]

@TotalPenguins On the contrary, I love the camera angle!!

[neri0707]

感動した！

[alicephrontistery]

私も感銘を受けた。私はピアノ、オカリナのビデオゲームのメロデ­ィーが大好きです。

[apebyen]

nice played

[dakevinboyo]

maan hearing the bowser song brings back so much memories from the 90's[x

[funkmaster089]

:) nice video

[sandmaster230]

Great job!

[jobbiejojo]

Wow you are so good! A link to the past - Castle theme is the best.

[diediemissile]

ur very good

[Bb0yAdamAnt]

[Lazukeuh]

i love the mountain theme <3 you should make a tutorial!

[Rael0505]

There's already sheet music... why would you need a tutorial?

[ShadWolf1]

@Rael0505; Some ppl can't read Sheet Music, so they use tutorials... ¬.¬

[Rael0505]

Generally, people who can't read sheet music are also not capable of playing whatever song they're trying to learn.

It's extremely disrespectful to Gori Fater, who no doubt spent hours and hours turning his interpretations into sheet music, to simply request a tutorial. Have some common courtesy - remember that Gori Fater is not obligated to do this for us.

Maybe YOU should learn how to read sheet music so you don't have to request tutorials. It's so obnoxious.

[ShadWolf1]

So you think that talented ppl should be allowed to play a piano just b/c they can read sheet music? Ok... then tell me this, How could a blind person with no experience at all learn to play without sheet music? the answer is simple, play-by-ear. You're being arrogant by telling others they should learn sheet music to be able to play. there are many talented ppl in the world who can play without sheet music. I know a bit of sheet music myself, and it can be a bit hard to learn at first.

[Rael0505]

I think YOU'RE arrogant for requesting Gori Fater to make tutorials when he has already spent countless hours creating sheet music for us all. It disgusts me that you're too lazy to learn to read sheet music when it's available, and you'd rather he make a tutorial just for you when many people are just fine with sheet music.

Go ahead and "play-by-ear" if you don't want to learn to read sheet music. Unlike blind people, you can't use blindness as an excuse for your laziness.

[ShadWolf1]

Now that there is being really arrogant human! I don't go around demanding for tutorials like other newbies out there. And how dare you be so disrespectful to blind ppl, saying to not use as an excuse, it was no excuse it was a set example. This is the Internet you can't tell someone what to do nor can you bully them to stop posting comments for tutorials.

good day to you sir for not knowing that. :)

[Rael0505]

You misread my post - I wasn't calling blind people lazy. I was calling you lazy (or other people who request tutorials when sheet music is already provided).

Really, it would be rude for anyone to request sheet music from Gori Fater, because he has already made sheet music for us all. Just be respectful of his hard work and don't demand more than he's already given. You can learn sheet music if you want to learn his video game music interpretations.

[jamesfelix303]

that first zelda theme is one of my favorite zelda songs man! i want to learn it so bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! awsome job bro!

[TheDevilsDog]

learn piano or this song?

[mik4sale]

The first Zelda theme, I think.

[emsjacob1]

hyrule castle theme=amazing

[wrayboy391]

WOAH WOW MY GOD !

The Bowser Theme was really dramactic.

Cool. xD 5/5

[ToshirosFanGirl]

Wow,that's really cool! To be able to play the piano is cool just by itself, too! XD Wow!

[KungFuMan002]

awesome!

[danceanarchy08]

I think i can safely say that this video includes the best piano rendition of final bowser's theme i have ever seen/heard so far. Bravo. It's a shame that camera mics can't do it justice.

[darek4488]

He is the person who have created this arrangement and sheets for it.

[superCds64]

your camera angle made me sick...

[ilovehotmagma]

me too :@

[risasblackparade]

haha i love the zelda ones. zelda is awesome :] lol

[Orims]

Muy bueno :D. Oye, una dudilla, cuanto llevas tocando?

[undefined100]

zomg go record that Final Bowser theme and play it in the middle of the street on Halloween so everyone will be too scared to come out and then you don't have to worry about trick-or-treaters lol

[coldtragedy]

hey this video is sick i love that stuff

but i have to say that the beginning part of the a link to the past is a bit wrong

the left hand pattern doesn't start on the count on dude so it sounds a bit strange and the melody doesn't fit 100 % but otherwise this video was great 5/5

[eyekeeyoulots]

hah i watch tis vid over and over again just to hear the final bowser one. haha love it

[Srjl]

Haha, you're not the only one, Eyekeeyoulots! :)

[marinosnb]

Just one more time...

[Raiderz4life51o]

the final bowser one is amazing!

[Downlord1989]

I also got the sheets for the final bowser theme.. and as I printed it out and wanted to start playing it, I thougt it's impossible to play that! Until I saw this video :)

[darek4488]

I have learnt final bowser from Gori Fater's sheets and I can see that his playing a little diffrent version in the video than in his sheet music.

To learn it you must have no life for about month :P

[BRAWL001]

ya i noticed that too. improvising the final bowser theme is crazy!

[Niboowin]

I think he played few extra notes on the Link To The Past Castle theme....

[henriquesglima]

Excellent!!!!!!!!

Really amazing!!!

Let me just make a request. Have you ever played Act Raiser from Super Nintendo?? This game alsi has really good musics to play on the piano. Could you make a video with Act Raiser musics??

Congratulations!!

[SolarTurtle13]

mabe village is a little fast

[Zer0Suvivers]

I must say. You are quite good. I am going learn to play the piano some more soon. all i can play is halve of Fur Elise. with the chords. but wow. 5 Stars

[Ultimaniac7]

anyone got sheet music for the version of bowser theme he played? The sheet on the site is different.

[rysoke24]

It's the same one, he just changed a few notes and rhythms to his liking.

[Ultimaniac7]

That's what i mean. I want to know those notes. It sounds better than the actual sheet.

[zaffoGMT]

no its the same the piano just sounds different because of the camera

[Ultimaniac7]

No, no it's not. It's not a big difference so it's hard to catch but I think it sounds way better in this video. Listen really closely at 3:06 - 3:09. It's different than the midi on the site. It's a small part in the whole song but I think it sounds much better here.

[zaffoGMT]

Yeah now i hear it

[HiG3Ki]

Fucking awesome

[ShadowXSnake]

aren't the chords at the beginning of Tal Tal Heights supposed to be triplets?

otherwise, awesome. Good job there.

[ZayLong]

one day gori, one day.

[picsmics4]

you be awesome

[zdumdum]

You forgot Halo3

[dazurogar]

Sometimes good games don't have fantastic music, these are themes that aren't based on the game's popularity, but rather the quality of the composition. But, it's all down to opinion on whether something's good, I guess.

[Ultimaniac7]

Halo 3 wasn't even out when this video was uploaded...

[fleshraker123]

its 1 min into the vid its awesum so far

[jdj1222]

great job on the bowser battle theme and the triple triad...FFVIII is the best ps1 game!!!

[Gavyn84]

thats a bigg call, but obviously i cannot argue personal preference, i prefer FF7 :P

[bart78170]

mabe village => slower ! !

=> Awesome job ^^

[NeverMetAWiseMan]

well done

bad quality´`

[ian22222222]

that was great... could you try playing starfox-venom i love that song

[DavyJoness]

Thats cool

[alexthepure]

...that was beautiful :,)

[harryplopper]

you need to give some totorials.

[joshblaize]

Great! Could you play the theme song from the video game called Carnival? The song I got is from Pitfall II Lost Caverns, that's also used in the Carnival Video Game. The name of the search is "Lost Caverns 1 of 2" from batmancheesecake 8:22. Listen to its track video from 2:46 - 3:08. Could you please play that song?

[joshblaize]

Title is actually "Lost caverns run 1 of 2". Because I do not know how to re-edit my comments.

[joshblaize]

Title search is "Lost caverns run 1of 2". youtube has been having trouble reading the search.

[Epirc]

brilliant! You truly are a great artist.

[skywalkerluk]

best zelda link's awakening overworld theme on piano i've seen in youtube yet! the others are so simplified!

[infamouskong]

haha damnnnn you killed it on the final Bowzer theme... nice job!

[infamouskong]

bowser*

[ArdvarkInDeepSpace]

Totally amazing.

Made me want to cry

[cursedbythought]

*idolizes*

=]

[Pacifist75]

Sweeeeeeeet

[PaskyLoL]

AWESOME... ^^

[TehMaskedPianist]

You and W3sp are amazing pianists. Bravo!

[EvanED]

The angle of the video makes my brain hurt. But it's made up for by the awesomness of the sound. ;-)

[smoshys]

shit ,brings memories back. i wish i could play that

[speeps84]

im really mad now because i can play piano but i play a totally different style of music so it is really hard for me to learn how to play these songs and stuff

[edleehicks]

suuure speeps...

[speeps84]

naw its true

like if you play classical music (like me) playing video game music and other kinds like jazz are totally different

although i admit im not very good

after all im only 13

[WeShallBurnInHeck]

Im 15 and can play this plus classical shit

[thecandlefire]

No...

GORIFATER IS AWESOME!

[ExFaux]

That was all played very weil :D

[leafsoup]

I can also play the mountain theme, and on my sequence remixer i added the base part that you cannot play, because you need a third hand lol.

[leafsoup]

I can kinda play the overwolrd, I CAN play the bowser theme, quite good actually... And I can also play mabe village.

[septimus97]

that blew my speakers, literally

[jleem21]

videos like this seriously make me wanna learn how to play the piano...now i gotta practice and get super good usiong me left hand..bass hand

[Pianoninja924]

The left hand can be tricky, but what I find helps a few of the people I teach is to learn the left and right hands seperately and then work on putting them together.

[joshzelmer]

Oh ya pianoninja is right left hand is very tricky but he also has another point and i use this method ill learn songs by play bit by bit started right hand and perfecting that one then left hand doing the same then combining starting slowly and working up in speed! :)

[streetsk8t]

That Final Bowser's theme from super mario 64 is TOO COOL!! Its super difficult for me because I'm new at piano and I seriously regret not practing playing songs earlier.

[kylefox20050]

zelda rules

[willowgarrison]

WOW!!!AMAZING!!

[BRAWL001]

That mountain theme how the F? I need help! I can't do the 16th notes on left hand at tempo, my fingers always get jumbled up!!! How do you do that?

[GaryOak]

I had always hated Mario music but now I think I like it:).

[montereyjak]

I learned mabe village a while back. Fun piece =D

[AkiMasamune]

WHOO, good job! i was clapping along with the triple triad theme ^^

MAN, now i wanna play triple triad ;.;

[danlimdav182]

The Mabe Village would sound better if u lower the tempo

[yardknome93]

hey were can i get the link's awakening main theme sheet music... i don't see it on the web site

[Lightsaga]

i'm an amateur pianist but I still don't know how to read sheet music :S can someone please help me or sent me a link? I really want to learn to read sheet musics x.x I want to be able to play this songs o.o

[SUUZAN]

Wow I know this gets annoying, but you are awesome~! I'm so glad to see you play! Your sheet music made my day!

p.s loz:tp rocked!

[Rael0505]

Lemme clear a few things up - when I said "nurd", I wasn't talking about Gori Fater (I've seen all of his videos and really respect his work), as Kennyhayes misinterpreted. I was referring to Metalxlife saying he wanted to play cards with monsters on them. He was joking when he said that, and my response was also a joke. Calm down. No one being serious could spell a one syllable word incorrectly anyway.

[Kennyhayes]

I'm sorry, youtube seems to hate me and reply's to comments seem to stay. So instead of your comment replying to the monster card guy I just saw it there alone. I was just defending Gori.

[Rael0505]

I figured as much. No hard feelings?

[Kennyhayes]

Nope. I guess I'll see you later!

[proxsis]

friggin ppl insulting when ppl put great work like this on here..

btw video games are cool now so shut up...

[exirion7]

i think that all your songs on the piano are amazing but the sound is a bit "blurred"

[Shaflugi]

That's called "muffled" ;P

[METALxLIFE]

Now I wanna play cards with monsters on them

[Rael0505]

nurd

[Kennyhayes]

Is he a nerd because he actually does something with his life? Instead of going around the internet insulting people and not even spelling it right? Go away.

[Rael0505]

I was responding to the guy who said he wanted to go play card games with monsters on them. And I was joking. YOU go away.

[CtrlAltDaLEET]

shouldnt be saying these types of things here

[Rael0505]

What types of things would you be referring to?

[matuo3569825]

This song is very good!!

[MahsuginaChicken]

I was humming and "do-do-ing" the whole time :)

[demonninjaofshadows]

u r the god of music!

[ASUTillman]

OMG WOW GOOD JOB!
