Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger Guitar Live Set

[@Mooner5]

My 1st (Chrono trigger) and 2nd (Chrono cross) favourite soundtracks of all time!!!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

There will be much more from both games over the next few years.

[@Fai2012]

To this music, and to all those who were there, cheers. We have all grown up.

[@chancebrady2]

[@Elmanis]

ouch

[@asamuksv1019]

37 here. I guess this is the targeted audience =P.

[@Jorash_Barison]

nope. I may be older, but I never grew up.

😊 I miss the good old days, I'll be 41 this year on November.

Chrono Trigger...Far Off Promise...my God, to have my Mom or Dad wake me up one more time on a summer day, in my childhood bed...I'd give the world.

[@marcelolinhares2465]

Dude I was up late night collecting komodo dragon scales for my childhood kind of gf

[@HaunterOfKanto]

Did you hear your name called out to you and pass out too?

[@hickorydickoryhk]

I was doing the same thing a couple of days after you. And it felt as magical as when I first did it. CC is definitely a timeless classic, and I’ll always love the atmosphere of Arni in that opening section to pieces.

[@wanghiskhan7345]

[@wanghiskhan7345]

@@hickorydickoryhk 💯 I play this OST to get through work and it's nice to revisit the world (even if just feeling like a basic updated port) - the game is enough in itself

[@hickorydickoryhk]

@@wanghiskhan7345 I can’t count the number of times I’ve listened to the soundtrack to relax, the number of times I’ve just sung the songs to myself in my head, the number of times I’ve mentally escaped to the world of CC because it was preferable to the chaos of the real world, it’s definitely so comforting and soothing and Mitsuda really did create something marvelous and lasting with the OST. I was lucky enough to see him in concert performing CC music too. Truly awesome experience. I just started playing the PSN version on my Vita again, haven’t picked up the remaster yet but I’m sure I will. You’re 200% right, the game itself is more than enough, it will always stay in my heart, and doesn’t need a remaster to be there.

10代の夏の記憶が蘇ります BGMを聴くためだけにゲームを起動し、フィールドや街を旅した この思い出を共有できて良かった 素晴らしい演奏をありがとう

[@travisproo87]

Thank you. My baby boy is one week old and I’m so happy to share your Chrono Cross OST with him. He’s sleeps peacefully to it, as do I and my wife.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

That's so awesome. Congratulations!!!

[@kfp87]

😊

[@amazingcola2479]

It's the time when i don't have any problems in life. Missed my childhood times. Wanna tear up, but no tears coming.

[@highresolutionrevolution8846]

enough here for the both of us

[@michaelkohl4]

Amen.

[@markthomas7080]

It's more than Squaresoft. It's more than Enix. It's a memory. A wonderful place in time. This is awesome.

[@highresolutionrevolution8846]

nailed it, man

[@danzai]

yasumori mitsuda, his music has a bittersweet soulful longing to it that can't even be matched by uematsu

[@arnaldojuniormusic9246]

For me Chrono Cross has the best OST of all times!

[@strifeedits]

Same, along with all time favorite song Radical Dreamers

[@febriannanda5250]

Story: 9/10 Gameplay: 8/10 OST: 100/10

[@matthubbard2607]

I know new games just don’t have this kinda music anymore and if one does that’s recent do tell thank you.

[@scribeofsolace]

a massive sin

[@turabhussain6492]

This took me back to being a kid, when nothing mattered except the time I spent with my brothers and sister. A time when squaresoft's jrpgs helped shape my thoughts and dreams. A time where all that mattered was how much time was spent with family and video games. Oh how much life has changed... Thanks for this.

[@Bravehearte]

Wind Scene is really a good vibing song, it is the one that brings most of the memories from the game.

[@GBbern12]

Every research session of my bachelor's degree was spent listening to the CC OST. My cats would hop up on my workspace and immediately crash out and sleep on my desk. They are fans as well. Glad I found this page. Wonderfully done.

[@chubetoz0r]

The way you interpreted "Schala's Theme" is beautiful. Honest, without trying to add or embellish. Admirable. It is deeply appreciated by someone who loves Chrono Trigger. What you did was truly beautiful.

[@纏ふりふり]

この方の演奏を寝る時に聴いていて、自分の葬式で流れてくれたらなあと思う。 本当にクロスの曲は心に沁みるし、演者さんの演奏がそれにプラスして昇華してる。 ....聴きながら感想書いてて泣きそうになる。

[@Odseus]

Google translate: I listen to this guy's performance when I go to bed and wish it was played at my funeral. Cross's song really touches my heart, and the performer's performance adds to it and sublimates it. .... I feel like crying while listening to it and writing my impressions.

[@nuanasainai]

100%同意します

[@danthovict381]

I can watch this guy playing all day long, and never bored.

[@ThePhysicalReaction]

24:03 is a heart warmer. A reminder of simpler times as a child - with an imagination for the world that could be

[@FinalFantasyUnion]

Fantastic work John! Our daughters are obsessed with the music from Chrono Trigger/Cross, and this video really made their day. Hope you're well ~Darryl

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Awhhh thanks Darryl and company!

[@essedivi]

I was happy then suddenly at 14:51 i just cried

[@thalesatreides9566]

I just started playing chrono cross again since they re-released it. It's so much more then a game. It's a feeling,a fleeting but joyous memory. Nostalgia. I'm finding myself analyzing everything about Chrono Cross and how I feel about it. Hands down imo best game of all time

[@systemsgfk7062]

tale です。 Zeno verse です。

[@NeneChan203]

I love Chrono Cross to bits too. One of my favorite video games and a big part of my childhood. The music and the visuals are just... beyond beautiful. Truly magical.

[@bryantinobalingit7172]

Chrono cross will always be in my heart. Not only the music, but the game itself. Thanks for the covers, bro

[@末永英-s1w]

私は、Chrono CrossとChrono Trigerが好きです。ゲームの内容は勿論、ストーリーを色付ける音楽がとくに好きです。そのため、あなたが、私の大好き曲をギターで演奏してくれたことをとても嬉しく思います。 Thank you for playing the music that I love.

[@LandoT-]

Algorithm brought me here. This is absolutely wonderful! What a talent you have.

[@リスティ-o3b]

ゲームの情感を感じることができる、素晴らしい演奏でした！

[@チロ猫]

ゲームに音楽、漫画やアニメ、これだけでも日本に生まれて育って良かったと思う。 こんなに素晴らしく演奏する外国の方が居る、愛してくれる人が居るって嬉しい事ですよね。

[@KingOfPopcorn]

At the time, I finished the game with the real ending (the one where you had to order the magic spells during the final battle). There was no youtube or spotify. I had recorded the music on a dictaphone :) I felt like I was the only one who enjoyed the soundtrack. What a pleasure to see that it's actually legendary. Plus, to see a young person playing these tunes beautifully is a treat.

[@fr4nlalala]

this rendition made me wants to play Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger all over again!!!!

[@disouzaevc]

I'll never play any song from Chrono Chross, it hits deep in my heart. That's a huge effort not to cry even listening to this.

[@chrismuratore4451]

I keep kicking myself for missing the streams live. Appreciate the fact that they can be revisited after upload. The climb to 50k has been slow(ish) but steady, you'll get there for sure bro =) Hope all is well for you and Nicole.

[@portaldjinn3681]

He did it! The man did it! Time stopped like in the Dead Sea when I heard this. Awesome stuff

at 18 min is a dream, wonderful sound

[@Derysss]

Dude, these songs remind me of my childhood SO much, nostalgia comes strong. And your flawless execution makes it even better, can't help but crying a bit just by listening! You are amazing.

[@guiltycross]

Time to play the remastered version then!

[@Derysss]

@@guiltycross even bought a controller just to play it :)

[@momijistudios8387]

I just had the best nap of my life with this on. So beautiful and soothing. I'll listen to it again when I'm fully awake lol.

[@michaelkeegan9260]

The emotion you are putting into these songs! Yes they are fantastic to start with but you play with such feeling and it stirs me deep inside. Melancholy, sorrow, contentment and hope all flow from your guitar

[@SenhorShadow]

Amazing !!! ❤️🥲 The CHRONO CROSS remaster brings back so many good childhood memories! With every song I hear, my heart warms with nostalgia! ❤️

[@mecthekilla8876]

Haha ikr bro it’s the same for me my fave games for sure

[@Hiroki_-bh8dh]

すごい。。こんなに情感を込めて弾けるもんなのか。。。

[@白雛_シロヒナ]

It was like recalling one by one our previous lives, sometimes in the wilderness, sometimes diving into the deep sea, sometimes walking in the countryside, riding in a carriage, imagining ears of rice at dusk, standing in ruins, running through ancient brick-built cities and meadows, recalling our babyhood in the cradle. It was truly a good performance, as if to bring the winds of eternity to the present. I can't stop crying. Thank you! The best!!!!👏😭😭 DeepL translated 時に荒野を進み、時に深海に潜り、時に田舎を歩き、馬車に乗り、夕暮れの稲穂を想像し、廃墟に佇み、レンガ作りの古都や草原を駆けていた前世を一つ一つ思い返すような、ゆりかごの中にいた頃を思い出すような、 まさに悠久の風を今に届けるかのような、良い演奏でした。涙が止まらない ありがとう！！ 最高！！

[@samcero]

If you lived those magical moments and are still here... congrats, you made it.

音の色が綺麗で癒されます

[@saintsfearful]

I remember learning Radical Dreamers on nylon string in high school like 16 years ago. Yasunori Mitsuda is an amazing composer. Well done!

[@cloudneostormful]

Yeah I kove the sound of classic acoustics

[@kromanaut]

Absolutely beautiful, John. Your performance made me tear up, especially Schala's theme. Thank you so much for recording and sharing this with us all. Your arrangements are top notch, they really capture the original intent and feel of the music, while sounding completely natural on solo guitar. 10/10!

[@kevinwalsh3077]

God how do u remember and hit all those notes perfectly AND manage to add your own style... Magnificent. True skill and talent.

Amazingly well done, Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud

This series, specially Cross have a special place I my heart. This video is on my favorite list for a long time and every now and then, I come back here to listen to you playing these amazing songs for these amazing games. Thank you so much!

[@dif1982]

Just, close your eyes.... and listen this beautiful songs.

[@v.marcos.v]

I love your pace! Perfect timing! Most of the people tend to play too fast!

[@Chibi-Luka]

I come back to this vid often. The music hits in a way that makes me feel the emotions I felt the first time playing the game. You did an amazing job on this

[@andrevg1927]

Maybe this guy have spend months to learn those songs and weeks editing it. We spend only 1 second to subscribe and like it. Thx sir! This was amazing and remind me some good old days of my childhood!

[@hartleytaslim3957]

Best game of all time in SNES and my childhood.. Chrono Cross

[@aberdeengrungeindonesia781]

It touched my heart even deeper than I remembered even though I just finished Chrono cross..

[@Enoch420]

I didn't want to play it because of memories with my ex wife but I forced myself to play it and it's worth it

[@pantonio7171]

The languages you speak just by playing these songs are immeasurable. Please don't let this get to your head. Stay humble, as a guitarist myself.

[@AllegrettoATempo]

Your arrangements sound the way it feels to remember playing chrono cross with my brother as a child...

[@aylictal]

I wasnt a fan of Chrono Cross, but Chrono Trigger is a game I hold very dearly. It gives me extreme nostalgia of being a kid. My favorite songs have always been Frogs Theme, Magus Themes, Secret of the Forest, Sealed Gate, and the main opening titular theme. However: Your version of The Day the World Revived is the best I've ever heard. I don't say this often but I teared up when I heard this. Your version is absolutely beautiful.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

I remember first playing Chrono Trigger, and I couldn't believe how good it sounded for the SNES. As I became more musically educated, I gained further appreciation for Mitsuda's style. Many more to come in the future!

[@ChernobylWasFun]

This is amazing. Easily one of the best, if not THE best, OST ever written. This video will be played over and over and over and over in my house for years to come. Thank you so much.

[@carlosmoura1286]

Sincerely grateful. This lit up so many memories from my childhood. 🎶 Need to return to the portal on the beach….

[@Kathanis]

Chrono Cross music makes me smile every time. I love this soundtrack so much

[@aliciasmo]

Without a doubt, Chrono Cross is my favorite RPG game of all time: Great characters, great storyline and the most important: AMAZING OST!. Thanks for bring us this masterpiece John🤟

[@techandgame9430]

Channel is so underrated. U deserve millions

[@johnnylams3948]

Wind Scene: this song is like a emotional knife to the hearth. Thanks for your art.

[@WarWarriorx]

In the second repetition of Another Guldove you entered in that nostalgic and sentimental state that captures what Chrono Cross means to me, I'm sure that i live just by those moments, catching myself or another human release feelings through the pores and expression. Great job.

[@pchan424]

Random stumble onto this video today. New sub. Awesome games, awesome music, bad ass guitar skills 💯💯

just discovered this cover today and I was mesmerized almost instantly. I'm subscribing and listening to your content starting today :-)

[@robyroad_]

"Wind Scene" is awesome!

[@davidmcgiveron3738]

Wow...you've absolutely nailed these songs! This is pure relaxation music...if I close my eyes I can almost picture myself on a tropical beach somewhere, under Cerulean skies...

[@daviddobarganes9115]

By the time you get to "Far Off Promise", I can really tell you luxuriously dwell in all the right places with your fingering. Brings to mind why they call Clapton "Slowhands." Very respectful treatment of the pieces and shows you really understand the emotions evoked to get us to dwell right there with you. Great job.

[@lucascardosodoa]

Chrono Cross holds a very special place within my heart. This soundtrack is with me ever since I first played the game on the ps1. The same goes for Chrono Trigger... Your rendition of the songs is amazing, it took me waaaay back there in my childhood. Thanks for this masterpiece and congratulations on the amazing video. You're incredibly talented and sensitive.

[@こーた2号]

生演奏ききたい

[@videot161]

I was having an anxiety attack at work, your beautiful playing and massive nostalgia helped relax me. Thank you ❤️

[@johnrowe1183]

You're my most inspiration to learn the guitar properly. I've noticed that I have to pay to access everything you have. At first, I thought that it was a rip off but after thinking again, you have amazing talent on the guitar to play some of my favourite music and you deserve to be paid. I'll be looking forward to subscribe to start and learn Guldove in Another World.

[@nathanbyberg]

Dude! That rendition of At the Bottom of Night is very very impressive! You have my utmost respect! 👊

[@Rand_GameUWMJP]

hey john i just wanna say thank you for making my motorcycle rides more pleasant. i even listen to them while in my room doing work. i am a bass player primarily but i am thinking of playing classical guitar one day just because of you and your chrono cross/trigger covers. thanks again.

[@Jack-The-Gamer-]

My four favorites from Chrono Trigger are Main Theme, Corridors of Time, Frog's Theme, and Schala's Theme. Your rendition of Schala's Theme was BEAUTIFUL! EDIT: OMG the ending roll is a playout version instead of a hard ending. I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@heatherwind]

So many memories...this is just lovely. Thank you so much.

[@christianquimelli8487]

Man, thank you so much for this!

[@saifblade]

hey man thank you for this. i got really bad adhd and OCD, your guitar cover of these songs hits the right spot. it's helping me focus. been having this and your final fantasy one playing in the background on and off for past 3-4 weeks.

[@ReavoEnd]

Couldn't have picked a better day to do this, love it! I ordered the physical release of the Chrono Cross remaster off PlayAsia, releases 4/26. Can't wait to get it! Thanks John. Fantastic playing, as ever!

[@hortaserj]

Nostalgia is such a powerful feeling 🥲 I LOVE 'Another Guldove'! Really wonderful playing, John! Cheers from Brazil!

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

Very well performed. I always thought it was interesting that they added the finger slide sound effect in the original Chrono Cross soundtrack to make it seem authentic.

[@danzai]

SO good. 2nd track gives me goosebumps

[@JohnOethGuitar]

[@canceracar]

Ugh At the bottom of the night is so well composed and the intonation. Man. Bravo!! Gives me nostalgic chills Edit: then Wind scene... what're doing to me haha
