Castlevania - Bloody Tears (Acoustic Guitar)

[@hunterhoose9375]

After 4 months of studying his every finger movement and and every finger placement I have finally learned to play this masterpiece of an arrangement.

[@bo0tywizard798]

Tabs?

[@HuGo031191]

That's impressive indeed

[@ole9274]

You spend 4 months and dont make a tab?

[@lilturtle7631]

I did the same

[@lilturtle7631]

No tabs, all visually and by ear 👍 maybe years later there is some tablature out there

[@piercebottomtext4827]

What horrible night to just now discover this beautiful cover almost 9 years late. This is absolutely perfect, I love it. Great job!

[@KingPiNs_PlayHouSe]

The morning sun has vanquished the horrible night ;)

[@DisguisedGray]

Have you heard of OC remix?

[@thebadash4165]

You gotta go youtubedark and just listen to individuals playing (mostly) video game music for a while. There are some talented musicians out there.

[@thebadash4165]

[@aaroncole3941]

Just got here today! This is amazing!

[@filaptv]

Imagine hearing this played by a mysterious man, while sitting down for a drink in an old, empty, cozy cafana for a drink on a late gloomy evening in eastern europe.

[@aleksandarukic6702]

+Filip D I think I had similar experience. Eastern Europe was, cafana was, but music - it wasn't, something else... Some man took the line.

and think billion views for a stupid video in loop...this is the people today, no one appreciate the real nice things :(

Porque rey187 y su versión de esta canción es la mejor.

Ayatanka because people now just like songs that dont have any sense :c

[@zinadreab7782]

yup

[@wilmereduardo2817]

This might be one of the most if not the most impressive arrangement of any VGM i have listened up to this date. The performance is simply outstanding.

[@AccountWasHacked]

Sounds like the arrangement Rey187 created.

[@ivanjijon8647]

Discovering this masterpiece 13 years later. Wonderful arrangement, amazing performance.

[@danieldelaparra7708]

This song is so beautiful and so perfect that it is hard to believe it came from a videogame. I still remember when I was 9, my grandma bought me Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for my NES, was my first game I ever had besides Mario Bros. I put the game, walked out to the first town and the first notes of Bloody Tears sounded, I couldn't believe what I was listening, from that moment on this song has been one of the most important tunes I've heard in my life

[@chrisfineman1277]

For 25 some years this song has been a staple of my musical ear. You sir have made a rendition that not only challenges the original but also has become my new favorite version of Bloody Tears. It is no longer a Horrible Night To Have Curse. Keep it up

[@Walkeranz]

What a horrible night to have a curse.

[@thekaboominator1]

The way you put an additional layer of complexity each iteration is incredible. Bit by bit, you breathe a little more life into the song each time.

[@ghastlynavigator]

Absolutely brilliant! Beautifully done. I'm not sure how I managed to never see this video in the past 4 years ..this is one of my favorite songs since I first played Castlevania 2. ....wow...Great job!

[@motoryzen]

9 years later after stumbling upon this and it's STILL a master piece. Kimmo. you're a damn genius man. Cheers.

[@grimgrog]

I love this arrangement, you stayed completely true to the spirit of Mastubara's masterwork but put your own heart into it. Truly masterful, all the best to you.

[@konthealot5777]

This is the most inspiring piece of music I've ever heard! Bloody Tears is Bloody Beautiful.

[@Kisonish]

Dude, this is so clean. Loved listening to it. Thanks for performing.

[@cyberpunkaicom]

I like that, very well rung out and left the strings sounding well throughout. I play the guitar and I know that clean sound and particularly to leave tones ringing so long is very hard to acheive so well, very accomplished performance.

[@mrklin99]

The best single guitar rendition I've heard to date, well done sir

[@SwordsAndSamurais]

Most definitely absolutely completely right on!! You, my friend, are insanely talented, and the acoustics are amazing!

[@Edrick809]

Technique. 9 Tempo.9 Excetution .10. Feel. 9 Really Good. One of the best covers to this great theme i have Seen/Heard..

[@kristofergutierrez1110]

I dont know why 44 people dislike this.. Yes its not 100% a replica of the original however its 100% effort to make the song your own. Now thats what i call musicianship

[@zackhenderson2392]

If I had to guess, it's the loud slapping during the breakdowns. The song wouldve been perfect without those.

[@Dildar9001]

The feel that this guy's acoustic playing gives is honestly really enchanting, especially the intro

[@OneAngrehCat]

mmmh, it's pretty sweet and melodic. Should be in one of the classic games, adds a lot of identity and depth to the song. This version makes me feel like the Belmont(whichever one) is hearing every bloody tear that fell down from all his ancestors and feels their anguish and sadness at the superhuman task of beating Dracula. Good job. :)

[@EklipzHorizn]

While sitting in front of a fire in Dracula's castle after the "final battle" with a bloody Vampire Killer in hand.

[@robertogarciaperrz4985]

Just awesome. I've heard this song about 100 times and 8 never feel tired. Congratulations

[@dionleon]

You, my friend, have changed my mind. Always i thought this was a song ment for the keys. The strings of your guitar have proved this wrong to me. Keep playing and making these covers. Just beautiful dude.

[@Wrath6909]

Same lol and I always said to myself that covers of this on guitar wouldn’t sound good. I seen people play the same too but he adds much more to the mix, love it.

[@Washi981]

@OrgodemirDQ7 Ahh, hard question. I play only by ear, I think it's very beneficial. The way I play just comes naturally. When I arrange, compose or improvise I basically just play the sounds I like in a rhythm I like.

[@Phordee_Phyve.45]

You sir, are a Mirriam-Webster's and shining example of raw, unbridled, sometimes irritating (lol) talent -=- now one of the main reasons i am takin the time to write this all out ina comment is as follows: i am a musician myself, so ive been around or seen (videos included) a number of finger-pickers/fingerstylists during my time.... Your technique and self-specific style is none like ive ever seen before -=- its bloody epic man, keep kickin ass, takin names, and chewing bubblegum... Lol

[@JoakimHedman]

Can't find words. Absolutely stunning! My heart is bleeding when you play! you're amazing with the guitar :)

[@ricdangers]

Absolutely fantastic job and brilliant execution of one of the most intriguing and mystical tunes I know. Much respect.

[@MonkeyKingsformerroomate]

Keep playing things your way. I can always listen to the originals. That was awesome.

[@Paladin1034]

Every time it got to the 'chorus' I got freaking chills. Thank you, youtube algorithm, for giving me this absolute gem.

[@williamrama7026]

Sorrow and deep at the same time. Love the castlevania. About how they described about good and evil. Btw, Good job man, you played so deep to. I can feel it.

[@darejosul7076]

CRIMINALLY under rated cover. Pretty much perfection.

[@ilyaskolbas]

Holy cow, it's incredible! Seriously, simply amazing job! Damn, why am I so lazy, I wish I could create beautiful things like this.

[@thedirewolves-band]

Great job! Those soft bass notes are tight! Well done, I can hear every note in this performance so well.

[@breakfastjak]

My favorite cover on the acoustic guitar in my opinion. Great work!

[@atranfanatic]

Dude that was a great rendition of one of the best Castlevania songs! It was so peaceful and serene it started putting me to sleep. Great job man!

[@snzial]

Este acustico de guitarra es increíble, no se como me gusta mas, si en piano o en guitarra, la verdad es que es de agradecer temas tan buenos que te trasportan a la nostalgia.

[@darkmystery5731]

Years later, and this is still one of my favorite pieces to listen to.

[@irivohc]

awesome, i love this arrangement by Washi981, I'd been playing it myself ever since i found it on musicpleer! thanks for the tab. Great job, brother.

[@grimslider75]

I refuse to simply "like" this video. Absolutely refuse. How can one justify simply liking this video? You, my friend, deserve my sincere thanks and admiration. Thank you for this creation.

[@jestexgarcia3601]

Phenomenal, amazing! Such a fantastic cover. Keep up the great work man!

[@Chaholla]

This is hands down the best cover I've ever heard of this song.

[@SurvivalSpheres]

Outstanding performance. Castlevania is VGM at its best. And somehow it just doesn't get forgotten :-)

[@minteemackerel1415]

Dang this was made forever ago and it hasn’t been topped! This is so good!

[@GamerFromJump]

This is pretty amazing. The version from the Netflix anime was played for badassery and befitting of an awesome action scene, while this rendition of the very same song sounds like our heroes barely survived and are making their subdued and exhausted way home, with the mournful tones of a victory at great cost. That’s the power of a strong melody, and that’s why NES chiptunes were so memorable.

[@fi5hm3at]

Time and time again I come back to watch this video...hands down the best acoustic guitar version here...PERIOD.

[@radicalratretro]

This sound so emotional my eyes started watering

[@zera2314]

Absolutely beautiful. Love the pacing you set for this arrangement. Compared to the original, you've given the two main melodies much more room to breathe.

[@Heartborne7thSeeker]

this is breathtaking and so good that it could actually be used in a real Castlevania game.

[@freyafanboy]

I just about cried listening to this, it's absolutely gorgeous sounding and I truly love it. Mad props man, if they ever made an official remix or put one into another castlevania this would be a top candidate in my books.

[@sylviagodsmith6957]

Beautiful, Gorgeous, Breathtaking, Lovely, Alluring, Majestic, Serene...what more can I say for you? Just...keep it up! 👍👍👍

[@depressionyachts]

I don't quite understand how this has any dislikes at all. Dude you crushed this cover of it. Bravo!

[@aethyr9799]

[@SantiRecon308]

Probably depends on your preferred tuning setup. No matter what I prefer Standard mostly cause of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest.

[@hanzo2001]

Godsend. Still practicing it as an amateur guitar player and self taught and I still can't pull 25% off. It's also a little harder on my Spanish guitar but than you thank you thank you thank you thank you...

[@jewlz72]

Where’s the tabs 😶

[@darkestlost]

Its almost another song. One great job of arrangement. I like it. In my taste i do prefer in the normal arrengemet, however, you perfomed so well and wit feeling this new version and the final work is just amazing. Great musician.

[@heresYoshii]

1.5 SPEED IS PERFECTION

[@Runedragonx]

+lagoon ouijas I recommend 1.25x, you can hear the notes much clearer and you still get a more energetic sound

+ouijas 2k now we're talking! thanks

[@mirutee]

But whatever he's up to, I hope he's happy!

[@huiledenoix8014]

I like this version a lot. No need for a higher tempo.

[@Apadiel117]

Honestly this is the most beautiful cover of the track in my opinion, maybe I'm biased because I've only recently gotten into the series and came by this video before i even took notice of the actual soundtrack in the game so this video was my first impression of the song but still though it's an amazing cover 🙏
