Dark Souls - Gwyn, Lord of Cinder (Classical Guitar & Violin Cover) || String Player Gamer

A classical guitar and violin cover of "Gwyn, Lord of Cinder" from the hit hardcore game, Dark Souls by From Software. The original piece has a very sombre and haunting mood to it, I tried to capture that as much as I can, I hope you like it! Praise the sun!

PRAISE THE ____ ?

[@toprak3479]

Praise the Sun! I did it! Good Work ahead, therefore Be wary of Tears.

[@songarakram]

PRAISE THE SKELETON BUT HOLE!

[@АртурБегларян-г3л]

notes pls (sheets)

[@noisjir4441]

[@The_Game_Sage]

Ah beautiful... , therefore Praise the Sun!

[@0WierdAsHell]

Dark Souls: Prepare to cry

[@rakhadevareichandra7602]

is that a VaatiVidya reference?

[@Pyberspace]

That bass was a really good idea. It makes the melancholy atmosphere even more powerful.

[@LionmightOfficial]

Glad we agree! That was a dropped A (from E) string, my lowest so far on my bass.

[@animelover14000]

This is beautiful, I have always loved Lord Gwyn's theme. I hope you do more Dark Souls covers in the future.

[@LionmightOfficial]

With the response I'm getting from this cover, I actually just might do more!

[@17Delirious]

Please you've always done great work with anything you cover, Dark Souls is ripe with great songs to cover!

[@ChristopherWanha]

I never played the game, I randomly heard this in another video very briefly and had to hunt it down. As soon as it came on I was stunned/surprised by a torrent of nameless emotions.

[@GeostelarDX]

Do you plan on doing more Dark souls on the future? My suggestion would be the Abyss Watchers theme from Dark Souls 3! Great cover by the way, the violin is a such a powerful instrument, guiding the rest of the music like the bonfire's flame guides the undead...

[@Acex117x]

Imperador Douglas Auditore I second the Abyss Watchers for a cover. This is beautiful and it'd be a privilege to hear more dark souls covers

[@LionmightOfficial]

I just listened to it and I loved it!

[@elfin2865]

There is a non-zero chance that I just whisper-yelled "yooOOOOO" and started banging my hand against the table as soon as I saw the notification for this

[@LionmightOfficial]

Well done.

[@0WierdAsHell]

Nevermind the downvotes... They are just salty they didn't know how to parry.

[@LionmightOfficial]

Truth.

[@mattmanbrownbro]

Right? Lol

[@QullVideo]

I was wondering about the down votes and something occurred to me. First of, I'd like to say I loved this cover, but that is here nor there. I have listened to covers of many songs that I have loved. However there have been many covers who may have done a fantastic job, but have failed to convey the brilliance of certain parts of the music, and thus I did not like them. So perhaps some people were let down by a certain part, a part that 1,300+ people did not take note of.

[@jollygreenrett5447]

@@QullVideo an even truer truth my friend

[@gandi4189]

truth is you cant parry the feels

[@adolfemmanuelesparas3922]

This PLIN PLIN PLON hits different, but deeper..

[@JoeyFunWithMusic]

Lovely warm lighting, wow! I had gotten used to the bright white one so this is a welcome change.

[@nathanroman6566]

As soon as the bass guitar came in it became a tear-jerker for me

[@xfighter339]

This piece is fantastic, and your rendition is a great take on it. I'll never forget preparing for yet another epic theme to accompany an intense boss fight, only to be thrown off guard by the soft piano and defeated looking Gwyn.

[@damonmclean9984]

This cuts me straight to the soul

[@LionmightOfficial]

A dark... soul?

[@damonmclean9984]

I am the Dark Soul. Great stuff man. I love it! Do more DS tunes!

[@TheCentralScrutinizerAgain]

A truly great tune that shines through in every style, beautifully done and imagined!

[@BlainesMagmar]

And in time, even the hottest beats shall be reduced to nothing but ash...

[@callofdarksouls]

got curious what this would sound like and am really glad i found this vid

[@feerd.inandgenzz392]

Now I absolutely need covers of Abyss Watchers and Moonlight Butterfly.

[@TMan9418]

still by far my favorite final boss battle music of all time

[@malahelf3043]

This is by far the the best cover I have heard for this music, you have managed to capture its power spectacularly :D Thank you so very VERY much for sharing :D

[@ck11032]

I love it! Seeing this, you remixing one of my favorite boss themes (for a second time, after finale) Makes me want to ssubscribe another 50 times

[@ck11032]

please do more dark souls. It has an amazing soundtrack that all works very well with violin

[@rakhadevareichandra7602]

oh my god,that is one of the best cover i heard of Gwyn theme maybe you would like to try Abyss Watcher,Twin Princes,Midir or thing like that in the future?

[@MBBGun14]

Beatiful arrangement!

[@sxar_0660]

Right in the feels...

[@TheWanderer1000000]

Absolutely Beautiful. This is a nice tribute to the Dark Souls series.

[@umokay1991]

Ever consider doing some Legend of Dragoon music? It seems right up your alley. A SPG cover of Ruined Seles of If You Still Believe would be incredible!

[@carlborneke8641]

Absolutely beautiful

[@aschthebloody515]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time, I love dark souls so much! My girlfriend first introduced me to the series about a year ago, and its one of my favorite game series now XD Thank you so much for this cover, you made my day

[@SuperDestuction]

You look so peaceful and happy when you play! I hope I can find that kind of serenity in my life. Amazing work. You've earned yet another subscriber. Thank you for uploading.

[@ranamagika5294]

holy. shit this shit is real , god job bro

[@toprak3479]

Do Moonlight Butterfly / Gwyndolin theme next please.

[@toprak3479]

Also, *PRAISE THE MOTHAFUCKIN SUN* \[T]/

[@goncalocarneiro3043]

There are so many good songs through all the soulsborn games, you really should do about two or three from each game from Demon's Souls until Dark Souls III.

[@rickyboiiiii]

Oh god I just started playing dark souls last week! What a perfect timing!

[@unluckycatfish6866]

Cant wait to hear this song once I finally get to the end

[@neferisfet6522]

I played that video so fast when I saw the title. Amazing job ♥

[@Soundole]

Really nice arrangement - love all the emotive portamenti on the melody!

[@hakanushinito2489]

I praise a man that praises the Sun

[@gyehlove6420]

You absolutely captured the mood, beautifuuuul!

[@doomguy333gunmanx13x]

It's been worth the wait, thanks so much.. this is true art.

[@jjredfield3763]

Damn, I just discovered your channel! Your videos are amazing!

[@TreeDragon]

oh hell, you've really got me in your corner now! as i'm sure you know there are a ton of great dark souls boss themes.... & you really nailed this one on the head! i can't wait to see if you do other dark souls tunes in the future ^.^

[@penandtag]

*What is done cannot be undone*

[@Shadowinair1]

Been excited for you to cover this for a while! Sounds great!

[@tombaker3731]

A fantastic cover of a fantastic song.

[@potatowithbbq7373]

Undertale bought me to your channel... Dark Souls now is telling me that I was right to do that... Beautiful song!!!

[@KhoiNguyen-eu3du]

good for you

[@Wallydoggamer11]

So wonderful!!!

[@doubleback8205]

Oh my god I totally missed this one. It just slipped past me. Anyway, this was really good mate, cheers for all your hard work.

[@logia7]

so good, love your channel my friend

[@HarlokTV]

I showed up in one of your Streams and said, that the Souls Series are my favourite games. Now you've done this. Coincidence? I Think Not!

[@Frantic_BK]

Would love to hear you do any of the musical pieces from Bloodborne

[@tribacioustee2846]

_In time, fire will fade,_ _And only dark will remain._

[@Sidse]

Would love to hear you try your hand at music from the Homeworld games.

[@rastabananaman206]

I'm surprised you haven't done this one yet, I absolutely love it though!

[@zelianwaeckerle5292]

You're so talented! That gave me goosebumps :0

[@prodmarcogoat]

Damn this is splendid

[@Ginkami]

If you're starting to like Dark Souls music, my favourite has and always will be the Firelink Shrine's theme from the first game, and to a much lesser degree, Majula's theme from the second

[@Seekernest]

I actually gasped after seeing this posted on Facebook. This cover is now in my offline videos playlist. I wonder if there will be more tracks from the Souls series coming soon. If so, I would like to suggest a few. Abyss Watchers Knight Artorias Great Grey Wolf Sif Soul of Cinder Slave Knight Gael (phases 1 and 2) Praise the sun, my dude!

[@metallipwn]

AMAZING please do Aldrich Devourer of Gods thanks

[@matthelion]

This was awesome

[@Jane-vt9ve]

Love this 🖤🖤🖤

[@ObliviousMiner]

That was amazing! My favourite song in the game, performed on one of my favourite instruments!

[@ItzDuckyTV]

Piano: plin plin plon Guitar: Dlin Dlin Dlin Violin: Veen veen von

[@AliTheNerdKing]

I wish you would consider doing Pokke Village from the Monster Hunter Series, be is from Unite or the new one Generations. It's a calming song, good song cover btw

[@cechermoomoo1247]

You should try "Old King Allant", "One Who Craves Souls" from Demon's Souls.

[@KORGOTHBeats]

Holyyyy gwyn ! Amazing

[@PaintedSkull]

Didn't know Dark Souls had such good music! I need to do my own cover of this at some point. Anyway, I'm impressed as always!

[@noisjir4441]

this is the last boss music. Good luck if you try to hear this music in game

[@while321]

That ninja spam tho xD

[@its_nukatron]

I always got the Dark Souls edition with the soundtrack, no regrets! This final boss music basically plays for this withered husk of a King that desperately tries to defeat you with what little energy he has left. It's sad...

[@gyrrakavian]

Really? Search youtube for a cover of Fire Lynx Shrine called 'Kindle the Soul'.

[@setaentertainment4311]

It's same guy did Tales Of Vesperia, expect joy!

[@williamgeorge3111]

I feel like this is what would have play when Gwyn marched into the kiln to prolong the age of fire.

[@rasool2753]

But soon the flames will fade and only Dark will remain.

[@geo-fry6372]

My suggestion would be more dark souls music. I would love to see darkeater midir and the abyss watchers themes.

[@radzimirpotapovich4799]

Such a beatiful music

[@Nimbliebimblie]

Amazing! The souls/bourne games have such incredible sound tracks. Praise the sun! \[T]/

[@jaskiran3434]

PRAISE THE SANDWICH, TIS AMAZING!

[@spierkan6917]

Please do more dark souls. Sif if possible

[@froggobaggins3328]

Can you do the dark souls 3 main theme ? Or the undead legion theme ?

[@arcanusful]

Very, very beautiful 💓

[@goldenfantasy9251]

YES FINALLY A VIOLIN USER!

[@reivonillyk7457]

Is this cover available for purchase anywhere?

[@AliTheNerdKing]

Praise the sun Sunbro, and may your sun rise again in a different life.

[@VirtusH]

Champion Gundyr's Boss Theme please!

[@NCRRanger7753]

Hello sir ☺ Have you done the theme to the Firelink Shrine?

[@SGCSmithy]

Could you possibly do The first hunter from Bloodborne. Such a beautiful song.

[@jodexstar2238]

keep these coming ;)

[@convergence-eren8229]

Oh god this game is a psycho! A psycho with an awesome OST!^^ Nice Cover SPG!^^

[@aethyr9799]

Epic!

[@lazarosa1388]

Muito lindo slc ,🧡

[@RobleViejo]

Damn. I thought to myself "I have to see this guy's Shadow of the Colossus covers" NONE!? For real my dude? If you don't know the game go play it right now. The music will give you goosebumps. I've only seen this video from you, but I think it might fit your style.

[@LionmightOfficial]

It's on my bucketlist of games to play, but not a top priority. I generally only do covers from games I've actually played but time and age does not always allow that luxury. ;)

[@RobleViejo]

That was a fast reply. Try to pump it higher in your list. It's my favourite game EVER, it changed my life, it changed my mind, it's the game that made me realize I want to dedicate my life to this.

[@RobleViejo]

Nice channel btw. Subbed and liked.

[@LionmightOfficial]

Thanks for the sub! But no promises really, I don't like planning too much ahead, it ruins the spontaneity of music creation.

[@mattmanbrownbro]

String Player Gamer I can all but promise you will not be disappointed by Shadow of the Colossus. I love that game like no other.

[@TheGreatLestat]

Amazing cover! 0.0 How do you record your acoustic guitar?

[@LionmightOfficial]

ITS A SACRILEGIOUS VIOLIN!!!

[@tanksalot5671]

SPG can you make a cover of Wally's battle theme from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Also UDABEST!

[@mesterorange8181]

PLZZZZ do more dark souls!!!!!!!

[@BlackCloud2469]

I cannot handle the plin plin plons in this.

[@Charsept]

I could never play this because I never spec'd into DEX. At my SL, it would take so much grinding.

[@DrakeOfCinder]

If Only I Could be so Grossly Incandescent as you String Player Gamer...

[@tibiademon9157]

Now just like with Undertale, hopefully he will cover every single track the Souls series has to offer!

[@Aoelaion]

Plim plim plum 😭♥️

[@Jibash]

Prepare to die. Prepare to struggle. Prepare to fight. Prepare to LIVE.

[@haemahn6072]

😭😭😭Soul of Cinder phase 2 also😭😭😭

[@ThomasGarrettthefirst]

GOSHYESILOVETHISSONG Even though it's about all I know of this game.

[@lordshitter1719]

When reach Anor Londo in Dark Souls III But no amazing chest ahead ;(

[@guillermosantos3278]

can you please do Nier Automata Osts? It'd be incredible to see your remixes make those songs from their game be as beautiful in your hands ;-; try out Kaine (Salvation) if its possible

[@leonardostamioli4215]

Make "Ib osts" cover
