  • makes sense. i've been trying to figure out the chords for this song... to do it in the key heard in the game, you'd have to tune to D Standard. great cover!

  • Hello! Im just starting to play the guitar and I´m really interested in getting the chords(?) for this Final Fantasy VII song, since Vincents one of my favs. Would be lovely to get a PM with a link or two! Its a little hard to see wich strings you are plucking >.< My english is failing me atm...

  • Like a boss!!

  • does any1 wer i can get the tabs for this please thanks

  • @numanomiah Gametabs.net :)

  • @OttotheOtter97 cheers bud :-)

  • fuck yeah...

  • Sheet Music? Please :D

  • I forget the real name of this song.......very well played though, im having a difficult time learning this in the first position...

  • @greenplusred The Nightmare Begins

    That's the name of this song.

  • @Sascaunt Fail troll is fail. xD

  • Just perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Il joue un ton au dessus de la musique original.

  • Its not the same scale of the original.

  • @goustune who gives a shit. Can you play this? Doubt it - douche bag. Go troll another douche like yourself.

  • @jpagano44 If I say that its because I tabbed the music myself by ear and I can play the true original song, which is harder. No need to be offensing.

  • perfect

  • om glove this theme i wish it were longer but i get the V.Valentine chillz now o0oo0o

  • Woo i'm the 911th like :]

  • I always thought I was playing this in the wrong key but now I see you're in the same fret scale that I learned it in.

  • @IdyllicDream I think this actually is in the wrong key...

  • played very well, the best cover on this song ive seen yet

  • 14 peoples rages cause' they don't know how to find Vincent ;)

  • @Chocobo974 Lol. I had a hard time finding him myself when I first played w/o a strategy guide

  • Incredible.

  • This song is absolutely gorgeous. All good music can influence the listener's emotions. This song succeeds. It creates a sense of suspense, anxiety and impending doom. Perhaps this is why i hated the vincent basement stage so much. Thanks man.

  • The name of the song in the ost is : The Nightmare Begins.

  • No wonder Vincent stayed in his coffin so long. With this guy playing my theme...I wouldn't want to leave either. 

  • ff7 has got to be the most remarkable game ever made. And I like the Vincent's Theme to Caleb 5/5.

  • I love how you play this... eerie and morose.

  • 14 people are vampire hunters.

  • @Okks but vincent's not a vampire. He's a... whatever the fuck vincent is.

    He was human. He was... changed, into what he is today by mad science.

  • Listening to this makes me want to join special forces.

  • @MDR5288 LOL, so right!

  • This is one of the best guitar covers I've heard of this song. Good job!

  • Could probably play this to pick up chicks @ 0:54. Hola señorita, me llamo Estaban!

  • To make a person feel like Final Fantasy series make you feel.. damn.. that takes talent. It is a mysterious element somewhere in the way that it is played that makes you shiver.. that reminds you of some hidden comfort inside you..

  • brill

  • Although, I hated the game itself, some of music was amazing, Nobuo is a great composer.

  • gorgeous sir, gorgeous

  • @jesstaams dude, JENOVA drum and bass? please i've gotta hear this xDD!!

  • @kakashigaiden3 It's a Dubstep track not DnB ... its called Datsik-jehova its pretty sick.

  • @Pussiepressups Except it sucks.

  • @Ch3mG33k Mega troll me hard.

  • good job man

  • Ah, the nightmare begins. You're freakin' good dude.

  • Best game ever! I made a hip hop beat with sephiroths theme and a DnB track with JENOVAS. LOVE IT

  • Best game ever! I made a hip hop beat with sephiroths theme. LOVE IT

  • omg i have been trying to play this on my guitar but idk the strings if you can could you tell me what they are

  • Vincent is by far one of the top best male final fantasy characters.

  • @dreddbolt

    Couldn't agree more.

  • magnificent! XDD

  • this is sick. you got tabs for this?

  • Terrifying.

  • This makes me want to explore bas....- oh shit, that comments been said alraeady

  • Great Job! Have you got some tabs for this please^^?

  • Exelente, Hermoso... Gracias.

  • I didn't think about the fact that I was in a dark room until right now....

  • its so beautiful if you can hear it. that sounds like the beginning of the human race.

  • CalebElijah I need this tab please. Any other Tab I've seen isn't close to how you play it.

  • Really really really really really good, thanks for playing and uploading this buddy.

  • awesome

  • i think it's the best rendition on guitar i've heard so far on youtube

  • So many memories with this song............... Nostalgia.

  • Great job, buddy.

  • smoothest guitar version of this song i've heard so far, great effort great skill

  • Omg I just finished dirge of cerebus and was sad the theme wasn't there but I feel better now that I've had my fix. Thank you it was awesome

  • beatuiful!!

  • it is so perfect for the character

  • lawl @ bachelor frog

  • This is amazing! 5 stars! I only wish the audio didn't have so much noise...

  • it`z...nice

  • Awesome, man. You know, I like Vincent and all, but, to me, I always thought this theme suited the theme of Sephiroth's basement better. Like... memories of how everything began, you know? Of course, it suits Vincent, too.

  • Well done! best here so far. :D

  • i spent a sleepless summer on this game. vincents theme is so eery i love it. the only complaint i could possibly have is that i wish you played these songs for like 10 minutes as you play them so nicely that i could listen to them forever.

  • Memories.... makes me proud to be a FF7 fan...respect to all those people who shared the dream :-)

  • Yea dude. Spending hours just trying to level up. The good times...

  • @XXRavethedrummerXX same here, good old time

  • amazing as usual.

    I notice you haven't posted in a while.

    lame, you're probably off killing terrorists.

    when you get back, more guitar please.

  • the best cover

  • True

  • good job man, good freakin job

  • what are the tabs for this song i cant find them anywere

  • @mattyboy0692 try typing "nobuo uematsu - nightmare" on google, there's even a guitar pro file available (altough it's not the same version as played here, it's a bit more difficult)

  • Very Nice!

    I've always considered this Vincent's theme but on my FF7 CDs it's named Sephiroth's Base. I guess because that's where they found Vincent. (I think); Anyway, nice playing!

  • Why has there never been a "Final Fantasy Guitar Collection" album? Eh regardless, this is an utterly awesome rendition of The Nightmare's Beginning!

  • cualqirea q toqe ese tema se merece 5 estrellas

  • Very good! <33

    ~Tifa Lockheart~

  • that was AWESOME!

  • bravo!

  • Sounded great. Keep on doin' your own thing.

  • I've probably commented already but this is as pure as the original. Amazing job!

    ps (better than lonlonjp)

  • Anyone know what brand that guitar is and the price range?

  • @ penny: it's never the giatar that makes the guitarist, it's how well he makes it his own.

  • Irrelevant.

  • that was class

  • sweet dude could u send me the chords for this...

  • no one ever sends chords/ tabs

  • Classic

  • Very nice. Makes me want to break out my guitar AND FF7 disks.

  • aight guys i commented earlier, but i dont see it (??)

    i have tabs for this, pm me if you want em. gimme ur email and whether you want em on powertab or guitar pro.

    my tabs arent in the same key he plays, but its still the song perfectly. if you want to play his key just capo it.

  • Look at everyone be amazed about "no tabs?" who cares? If you can't learn songs by ear then give up guitar. This guy's great and doesn't need fucking tabs. At least im guessing he doesn't.

  • i agree but it could be piano transferd to guitar

  • well, as a guitarist i could do one of three things:

    1.Watch this video over and over at slow speeds to copy his stuff, and tab it

    2.i could go download the midi and import it into a tabbing system, just to get like 17 instruments to sift through

    3.i could listen to it and plunk around til i found each chord.

    all of those suck. regular tabs are god

  • you're really good. ^^ and Vincent's theme is my favorite..

  • I wish i had your guitar playing skills:D

  • oh damn now i have to learn this one, you make it sound so freakin epic dewd XD

  • no tabs ???? :O !!!!! this is amazing

  • My fave piece of music from the FF series, closely followed by 'Assualt' from FF10.

    If you havent heard that, you need to...NOW!

  • Nobuo Uematsu is a fucking genius.

  • I like the sound of this. =D

  • Wow. Makes me shiver.

  • Epic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he fcd it

  • You are god on guitar. m._.m thank you for making this, I really was looking for a vincent's acoustic.

  • Amazing~ 정말 좋아요!

  • i love this theme and you're a great player.=D

  • god your so amazing... this is probably the best one i have seen so far, very impressed....

  • Good stuff. Your covers are always amazing. Keep it up!

  • best version on youtube, songlerevuer? good but no, lonlonjp? great but no, Calebelija,? fantastic!

  • SUPERB! :) Thank you...

  • Very good job, that was flawless!

  • I love the pacing and the lengths you choose to sustain the notes.

  • SO GOOD

  • Does anyone Know if its possible to play this song on a Bass?

    if so where would i find the tabs or how

    cheers

  • Don't know weather I like that he seems to know his $h!t at gaming, or music more. :)

  • Wow. You're a good player.

  • you got the tabs?

  • That a tanglewood guitar? Sounds beautiful!

  • WOW! Beautifully done, it makes me want to cry.

  • reminds me of Cavatina...

  • HOLY S***,

    YES, This is what I'll learn on my Acoustic.

    THIS, Is what I'll learn.

  • Enjoy the hand cramps:D, *Cue sarcasm* cause I sure as heck did>:C*end sarcasm*.

  • I know all about it man, I play acoustic and piano. D:

  • This is probably the best version of this song that i've heard in ages. Mad props man.

  • hehe after 100+ times listening to this i almost have the whole thing down... just the outro left *hand cramps* *ouch* X_x

  • you know that song minute by from first to last? well this song reminds me of it. great job by the way

  • nice n_n

  • amazing! ^^ I love it

  • bad ass!

  • you surr, win teh intahr webs

  • The Nightmare Begins

    beautiful job.

    many praise for you.

  • Nice. The rubato is very good, sounds much nicer than if it was a straight tempo.

  • I've listened to just about all the covers of this song on Youtube and after listening to yours frist then going on and listening to all the others I think that you did the best job with it.

    It's nice and slow at the beginning, giving it the haunting feeling it deserves, you have all the notes placed well and it just sounds the best. Amazing Job!

  • Hey you the one from the forum right?

    Heya ~

    Im Rafaga

    great video man!

    Keep up the great work

  • That is excellent man! Keep up the good work

  • Beautiful :O

  • You are the kyle landry of guitar. nuff said.

  • reminds me a lil of romance de amor

  • brilliant!!

  • That's really awesome lol.

    How hard was it for this guy to change the key?

  • He took it one whole step up. Makes the song WAAYYY easier to play. Even though originally its in the hey of D not E

  • people could just tune the guitar down to D if they are picky about key ^_^

  • True

  • this is amazing!

  • 10/10!

  • Just found your videos, amazing job!

  • i love vincent's theme.

  • Best guitarist on youtube.

  • check lonlonjp he is also a great guitarist ;)

  • Yeah im a huge fan of FF7 and also this song. You did a great job. I would like a version that has more tempo, i know this is the real speed. But still. *****

  • that is the tempo loser

  • Perfect !: )

  • That sounds so sick.
