Crossing Those Hills - Final Fantasy IX Guitar Cover | Anton Betita

UPDATE: I have uploaded a newer version of this cover! Check it out here:
• Crossing Those Hills (...
EDIT: Chords for this arrangement are in the pinned comment. Thanks to Faris Razannafi for taking the time to figure it out and post it!
Have I mentioned how much I love the music of FF9? This is my 6th cover from that game's soundtrack, and it features an awesome FF9 themed shirt lol. If you watch carefully, you'll see the sunlight getting brighter as the video goes on. Such is the power of this beautiful song. It inspires even heavenly bodies such as the sun to shine brighter until it's TOO DARN BRIGHT ARGH - I knew I should've closed the blinds.
Anyway, enjoy! ^_^

OMG, I love this. Can you post the tabs for this... or at least the chords cause I can't find it anywhere.

[@tiamat1628]

Omg... This is illegal, you used guitar alone and got every note on every instrument! 🥺

Brother. The feeling this gives me is irreplaceable. This takes me to my childhood. I spent a hundred hours to beat ff9. All 4 of those discs. And the soundtrack from the game is incredible. There is no amount of credit I can give you that would be good enough. You are so talented and creative. Not one person has thumbs down this for a reason. Absolutely beautiful. I listened to all of your covers btw. I live ff9. And I very casually play guitar. So I really appreciate yo ur talent. Amazing.

I'm 3 years late, but such is the timelessness of FFIX. Excellent.

[@tatsumaki091]

[@chibipantheon5772]

Ffix is my fav ff and this was very emotional to me 😭

I love this so much, If I can mod IX for the PC I'm going to replace the original track with this and spend even more time exploring Gaia. Thank you for making such a beautiful cover.

It’s really difficult to cover some of Uematsu’s original scores to capture all of the notes, sounds, rhythms, but you do it flawlessly and it shows! I can’t wait to hear what else you’ve got! I love that Uematsu was your inspiration! The first song I ever learned on piano was Treno.

Are you god?

[@MetalthinkerYT]

I cannot understand why you have so little followers because your music is absolutely fantastic. Yes, Uematsu is a god, but you took that god's work and adapted it and completed it fantastically with such a taste.

Dude, as a guitarist myself, you are clean as fuck. Dope ass cover, can't wait to dig into more of your stuff. Cheers.

got to say, would quite happily listen to this for half hour while out in the countryside....amazing work

[@IceSwagBiscuits]

This was incredible!

[@revelations-420]

Your playing is incredible. Such a beautiful arrangement from one of the best game soundtracks ever. Your videos are criminally under-viewed. Have you ever considered making a Patreon and creating tabs or lessons? I'm sure many people would be glad to support your playing. Anyway thanks so much for sharing these wonderful songs.

You smashed it. I'm thinking of having this piece as the music that plays while I sign my marriage certificate for my wedding, as FFIX has been my favourite game for more than twenty years.

The man said ff9 was his magnum opus of sound tracks.

[@Ekatoi]

My guy. You inspire me, I've never heard guitar playing like yours. I got a guitar because of you!
