The Chocobo Theme Song on keyboard / piano

For a local anime convention called A-kon, I learned to play the chocobo theme song that you all know form the Final Fantasy series. The idea was that a couple friends and I would jam some video game and anime tunes at the convention...but as luck would have it, my lead guitarist's E string snapped while practicing. So...this song went unheard among the anime/gamer crowd.

Therefore, I am quite pleased to present to you, for the first time, my version of the Chocobo theme song.

As usual, I cannot read nor write sheet music. I learn everything by ear and my own music theory. If you wish to learn my songs, simply put in a request for me to make a tutorial and I'll do so as soon as time permits. Thank you all for watching. ( :

Also, this video was recorded in HD. Not only do you get a better resolution when watching this in HD, but the sound quality increases as well. Please keep this in mind if you wish to listen to the best recording you can via youtube.

Awesome video.

It would be great if you have music sheet of this on piano that you could send to me. I dont mind if it is written in numbers.

Great job again on the song.

Unfortunately, I don't have any sheet music.  I, also, cannot read/write it. Sorry.

I plan to make a birds eye tutorial for this, though.

[ryukenosuke]

You know you're an even bigger nerd when you want to record yourself playing something like this...

Squee! Thanks for sharing. I am trying to replicate your playing, because I want to play this for my school's annual Relay for Life (it's a fundraiser for American Cancer Society). I'm in my school's instrumental music club, and we get to play for half an hour while everyone walks around the track all night. Are you familiar with the fundraiser? Anyway, I thought of chocobos while people were walking around the track, so I want to play something chocobo related this year. Thanks again!

Hey. I'm sorry it took me so long, but I finally recorded a bird's eye tutorial for this song. You can find it as my latest upload, or just look at the video responses to this song.

Thank you Ryu, I'll start working on it very soon. It's good timing, because now I'm in Winter break from school! ^^

[sickoffindinganame]

just me thinking out loud

i wonder if this song is in dissidia

[ryukenosuke]

I am familiar with the American Cancer Society, but I haven't heard of the Relay for Life fundraiser. How much time do you have to learn this song? I'll see if I can pump out a tutorial for you.

Hehe, thanks. (| :

I'm sure it only has 300 views due to me being fairly unknown. Some of the best vids I've ever seen on youtube have just a few hundred to a few thousand views. ^_^
