GET IN THE GUITAR CLASS, SHINJI!

[@pegas203]

well, he took cello classes

[@Dimaxmen]

No dad

[@zombiuk89]

SHINJI : I can't this! Father! I can't play this!

[@carloscabello4392]

SHINJI: But I took chelo classes already, dad GENDO: I dont care!! GET IN THE GIANT ROBOT AND PLAY SOME GUITAR SHINJI!!!

[@NoxSuperNova]

So you prefer Rei?

[@Trunks47r786]

I don´t think I´ll ever get tired of this song.

Four years later, did you get tired of it?

1:42 THAT harmonic! OMG.

[@tacoshark44]

That was the sexiest harmonic I’ve ever seen

[@PennyDreadful1]

It's actually depressingly good.

[@Olixxxooo]

IntermediateJesus you put it in the best description possible, it's actually impressive.

[@1996nick2]

That's a great description of Evangelion as a whole, actually.

This arrangement is so intricate, I can hardly believe I'm only hearing one guitar. おめでとう！

I'm even more surprised it's only a six strings!

[@XepherXV]

congratulations!

[@2IdiotPlay]

i dont understand the ending. one. tiny. bit. XD

[@XepherXV]

Omedetou!

[@chickenheelnakano]

There are plenty of explanations on KZbin and the website EvaGeeks to help you understand the ending. If you want, I could (try) explaining it to you aswell.

[@DarkBane3]

It's not very difficult to understand, it's very WTF but very simple in fact. To summarize, Shinji accept the fact that is forced to love and live with other people to be happy and accepted. And so : loneliness is bad.

[@duchessskye4072]

The ending of the series or the movie? I presume you have seen the movie.

[@Evil_Rui]

You sir, are too fucking good.

[@c4msundae]

I'd sell my soul to the devil to play this good

[@gaiolinn]

That's probably what he did, so work on it

[@ishanator3819]

Bro I guarantee you if you spent only like 10(okay maybe upwards of 20) hours just diligently practicing this song you could get it... or like a week or two of like nothing but straight guitar playing maybe 20 hours is a literal too conservative but still it’s not that unattainable... naturally wanting to spend the next 100 hours of my free time learning a hard song doesn’t always attract me so I still can’t play finger style like this but I know if I sat down and put in the time I could man don’t put yourself down like that you have it in you

[@ThatGuy-ep7xq]

@@ishanator3819 You have to have a certain level of base skill to be able to pull this off within 20 hours or so. A beginner wouldn't get even close in 20 hours.

[@ishanator3819]

@@ThatGuy-ep7xq oh totally but i assume this guy probably isn’t a beginner, I could be wrong though but I have a feeling they know their way around a guitar a fair bit

[@ThatGuy-ep7xq]

@@ishanator3819 Yeah that's totally possible. Honestly it would be pretty interesting to see how far a beginner would get with this piece. Personally I'm an intermediate guitarist with a few years of finger picking experience, and this one is really tough for me. Granted I lost interest after a couple of weeks. Might be able to pull it off decently with diligent practice. I'm also just a hobbyist so my practice isn't very stringent. Someone more serious could easily pull this off with a few years of finger picking practice under their belt.

[@TeaIngyer]

I've never seen NGE, but I love this theme.

[@ivanm4488]

Every second you don't see Eva you wastes your time.

[@mhduhastmich13]

shut up and go to watch it (but think that Evangelion is not like Naruto or Code Geass, it's not an anime that you see 26 caps/day for an epic end, sit and enjoy every draw and dialogue, and you'll love it more)

[@TeaIngyer]

+Doiniku Not really my cup of tea, never been into mech anime. I've seen lots of the major ones, but I'm more into things like Yu Yu Hakusho and Dragon Ball

[@XepherXV]

+MarklenIngyer you should still watch it for the story

[@Kingdomfire551]

+MarklenIngyer It's not really mech anime like most people understand mech anime. It's really only mech anime-ish for the first 10 episodes. After that it's...different. Just trust me, you should watch it. I would barely classify it as a mech anime, as most of the show revolves around more internal struggle rather than eva's fighting. Especially the latter half of the show, where almost all conflict is from the inner self.

[@MisatoK29]

I've been watching both electric and acoustic versions of this song on youtube. This is the best version of it I have heard. Very Good!

[@federicopresti]

that's amazing coming from you, katsuragi san

[@emiyashirou8403]

Please don't

[@ZeldaFan940]

Ya I like how jazzy it is but i think the volume can be a bit lower maybe its just me ;)

[@royaljanissary4555]

Misato san? Is that you? You still alive after human instrumentality project?

[@shinjiikari6317]

[@shisyamopan]

これマジですげー！技術もさることながら奏でる音色は素晴らしいの一言だしギター１本で演奏しているとは思えない何重奏にも聞こえる重厚な演奏♪ 押尾コータローさんみたいだ！

[@hdn234]

I really liked the dynamic contrast throughout...so many KZbin covers, while technically excellent, lack in expression, but not this one. Congratulations!

[@DeanMetalAngel666]

Other than the Ukrainian Military Band covering this, I definitely think that this is my favourite cover of A Cruel Angel's Thesis. It's certainly the most beautiful, even when the aforementioned video had the most amazing dance ever to it LOL.

[@nextlevelgamer6936]

+DeanMetalAngel666 You know that ukrainian cover thing was fake? They actually played something by Bon Jovi. But the mashup is still hilarious.

[@DeanMetalAngel666]

***** LOL, I should've figured; I thought that it seemed too good to be true.

[@richie_23]

try eri kawai's acapella cover.... its even better

Even though clear blue winds Beat on the door of my heart, You just smile, looking straight at me Too involved in yearning for Something to hold on The innocent eyes still no nothing of fate yet. But someday you will notice On those shoulders of your There are strong wings To guide you to the far future. A cruel angel's thesis Will someday fly high from the window If memories are betrayed by The overflowing, burning pathos (emotions). Young boy, shine like a legend, Holding the sky in your arms. The cradle of love that sleeps within me There will be a morining that A servant of dreams will come for you. The moonlight shines on your thin neckline. I'd stop time in this world And lock it away for myself, but... If there is any meaning In the fate that pulled us together, Then I am, yes, the Bible That teaches you of freedom. A cruel angel's thesis And then sorrow comes forth When the shapes of the dreams you hold in your arms Come to life within you. Young boy, who shines brighter than anyone else, Rise to become a legend. People weave together love to create history And so I live on, Unable to become a goddess... A cruel angel's thesis Will someday fly high from the window If memories are betrayed by The overflowing, burning pathos (feelings). Young boy, shine like a legend, Holding the sky in your arms.
