Emotions from Xenogears - Solo Guitar

[@RaineyDaysStudio]

Just want you to know that I STILL come back to this video man. Awesome!

[@daoyang223]

I'm here in 2019 because I love Xenogears and long for a remake. I also love Yasunori Mitsuda

[@kabukibear]

I think people mistake how long you need to grow your nails out. Professionals will grow them out quite long sometimes, but it's all dependent on their play style. You can easily get a nice sound with a nail this is only just a little longer than your fingertip. Some actually prefer this, so experiment. Play every day, look at your right hand, and listen. Decide where the balance is between tone and nail. You'd be surprised the tone you can get with with just a little bit of nail.

[@michaelh2282]

Can't believe it took me so long to find this. Your finger picking combined with your timing on this song are fantastic.

[@shiunsai671]

That was so AMAZERING! And yes, "AMAZERING" is a word, reserved especially for your covers. Requesting MOAR XENOGEARS, my all-time favorite game! Good job ^^b

[@metal.778]

dude I just learned this so quick thanks to you ONCE AGAIN, I'm so thankful to you you're just my hero I swear, I've learnt a lot from your covers

[@kinakotoochawan]

I love all your playing "Xenogears musuic". So I'm a Japanese, I am too glad becaouse your movie proves that Japanese culture i acsepts abroad people like you! 　I 'm proud your playing and your intention of this movie!!

[@MatthewThomasBass]

You never cease to amaze me when you play your guitar. Your fingers are like magic and my ears are the canvas of your audio art.

[@ninebreaker21]

Great arrangement! You make Mitsuda's music come alive on solo guitar.

[@Radicaldreamer255]

Well done bro. As usual you killed it, even if this piece wasn't at some crazy ass tempo.

[@blooandwhite]

the entire world just needs to chill out and watch this video. this is really awesome man!

[@JohnnyDarko01]

WOW! really good!

[@striderxxoriginal]

Man... I was gonna make an arrangement for this because there were no guitar versions for it. But after seeing this, there's no need... Your version's just too good! Thx 4 sharing! =)

[@gibson22varcelone]

Read your description on this thing...the taps sound freakin' awesome. It really punches the song up. You seem to be a perfectionist when it comes to guitar. I get that too with my art. It's never good enough for me, but everyone else always loves it. You learn to go with it and enjoy it when people like you. Use your perfectionism to get that much better, but also realize that you are a step (if not many) above the rest.

"Music is a mysterious thing... Sometimes, it makes people remember things that they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten... Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember them or not..." citan

[@Ido013]

Nice tapping :D Such a wonderful song as always :')

[@helloakayan]

I wish more people could hear you play. this kind of music changes peoples lives.

[@samuelaquino3823]

I have no proper words to describe the epic feeling when i hear it...

[@AcappellaGamer]

transformed into something even more wonderful. truly .

[@Fusakiri]

FINALLY YES THANK YOU OMG You did it.. you did it bukibear im so happy now lol.. thank you so much for this

[@embodythejotun]

It sounded great to me and I can't wait to hear one on the new guitar!

[@futureicon23]

A good dose of nostalgia...

[@KarimBaNana]

Great job! Very nice cover, I love it!!

[@highway788]

i don't know whether to thank you or not... i was thinking about learning piano in addition to classical guitar, but listening to some of your songs and learning them totally made me forget about piano. i don't know if this is good or not xD well anyways, you're great. i hope you keep it up. also i'm trying out some of your songs. (dk in love & another marbule so far... and now this). people love them^^

[@Wilsty88]

@WarriorOfTheHeavens : It's never too late to enjoy an outstanding game. ;) I remember when I was around 13 years old and the only thing I asked for for Christmas that year was the soundtrack to this game. Ranks in my top 5 favorite Christmas moments, haha.

[@Vic9mm]

great job on this kabuki love it. : )

[@AlanVarelas]

Thansks for the tabs, im plating Xenogears at this moment and its E P I C

[@FirestormAudio]

Dude fucking amazing!

[@RaineyDaysStudio]

Huge smile every time when the percussion starts man. Errrrrytime. :D

[@auriplane]

I think it sounds really good ^-^ IMO measure 17 does break the flow a little bit for the listener, though. Thank you for recording it!! I can't wait to hear your new guitar!

[@fendnemecyst]

Beautiful... nothing short of beautiful. Yasunori Mitsuda would be proud of this :)

[@vdinh143]

"I can learn to play this." "Yo bro what the hell are those harmonics???"

[@BananaOrangeBerry]

I was having a shitty day until I heard this. Thanks.

[@skywinder8837]

Amazing play

[@junior752352]

Well done man, thanks for sharing this with us

[@maikoi15011]

@kabukibear Awesome, I can't wait to hear you play on it :D

[@sephirothjenova1200]

This is very well done, I like the acoustic very much. :)

[@CleverDjembe]

Really nice music to hear in my young ears =)

[@puffyheaven]

well played mate.it is beautiful.... and the game is too!

[@lazygamer7469]

And I ask you: Can we ease the pain of those who lost? (The force of life goes on) Can we know the cause of all this sorrow? (Tears of loneliness) Can we catch the tears of a broken world Falling down upon the earth...? Falling down...

[@MigratoryEagle]

beautiful

[@pogerareis6093]

Bravo.bravo A remenber all songs .Bravo...

[@badnessgaming2680]

excellent bro. just great.

[@lemonpulpmusic]

You are very talented.

[@Raylor]

awesome dude. I love it.

[@kabukibear]

@whirlooo Yeah I have nails. You don't have to grow nails out and some people don't. But, if you're looking for the best sound you can get it makes sense. It's like the difference between playing with a pick and playing with the eraser on a pencil. Your fingertips are soft and squishy, like the eraser. If you really want a loud clear sound, you need to have nails that act as portable picks hehe.

[@Alphabat]

Amazing!

[@richardwadereviews]

You can use a compressor plugin to even out the taps and the playing. I recommend the free Antress VST plugin pack. If you ever want me to do some editing of your audio, send me a message.

[@spin_the_disc]

awesome as usual ! =D

[@dnbjedi]

Kabuki you should be reincarnated as a Bard on some RPG fantasy world, you are the Gamer Bard at least thanks for making this music possible for us!. Please do more arrangements!!!!

[@dnbjedi]

ahhhhhhh so nice!

[@kabukibear]

@RainartXIII Yeah, I agree that steel strings have a much sharper, bright, sound to them, so when you strum steel strings each note of the chords really sings out. Fast strums on nylon strings tend to muddy up a bit.

[@VisariDaBst]

Very Nice!!

[@auriplane]

@kabukibear You're too hard on yourself!! I thought it sounded really good ^-^

[@Kiz01]

amazing keep it up

[@GameRumble]

Awesome!

[@tekkenfan01]

Very nice

[@RainartXIII]

@Vic9mm I like using my steel string acoustic when I do songs with more strumming, and the Nylon for songs with a lot of finger picking. The nylon strings don't sound as good to me when all I'm doing is strumming chords...Then again, I desperately need to change my nylon strings...

[@watchdog2007]

loveit.. i miss xenogears

[@alabamamanable]

When I hear this song I feel the need to stop standing around lahan and go into the blackmoon forest already!

[@RainartXIII]

@whirlooo Another option is to get PLASTIC fingerpicks. You will need to re-learn how to play guitar, but you won't need to worry about nail care. If you use metal finger picks, you will get a constant scraping noise, so avoid those.

[@TrentDan]

Ah, the algorithm has blessed me.

[@kabukibear]

@maikoi15011 Yeah, it's my friend's Parkwood that he had let me borrow. He finally agreed to sell it.

[@Vic9mm]

@Eqvil yeah i can't get use to the sound steel strings make I've tried but I keep coming back to nylon. Also try some Savarez 520R strings. nylon = greatness

[@ranaadnanm]

@WarriorOfTheHeavens and the best story of all video games, however a bit complicated for some people at times.

[@Janine.Najarian]

Still the best ever. Cheers :)

[@massieko]

Hey it's obvious you're a gamer, or at least appreciate good game music because you play such awesome covers...I was wondering, I don't often make requests but did you ever play any of the Breath Of Fire games? It'd be awesome to hear you do a tune from either 2 or 3....those were my favorites...but 1 also had some pretty cool, & I think, under appreciated tunes. Awesome job I love your stuff!

[@xenogear27lacan]

best world map theme

[@kabukibear]

@TheRemster Yeah, on the world map. /watch?v=aSHESDI5Uqc

[@rpgpunx]

yeah thats good stuff :)

[@guitarnoobie07]

darn, I think I'll be having more trouble on this song that on your Radical Dreamers lol. one fast NH is ok, but two? I think it's monster. :D

[@kabukibear]

@auriplane Yeah, the playing was pretty bad actually. What can I say, I'm out of practice.

[@jayeha]

a new guitar!? =O whatcha gonna do with this one? This sounds really REALLY nice.

[@maikoi15011]

Very well played and arranged, as usual :) Now you've made me want to learn this.. Are you getting a new classical or a steel string? *secretly hopes for the 2nd* I'd love to hear you play on a steel :O

[@Eqvil]

True, true. No steel string hate from me. The accent is on Kabukibear, not the guitar. :-)

[@saratoga90]

buena interpretacion y buena soltura ^^

[@MrKain1000]

So when is Mitsuda going to contact you to do his next album? He really should see this.

[@fever003]

This piece sounds good. :) you think too much!

[@SephCat74]

@whirlooo Plus your fingernails dont have to be THAT long. I keep mine at 1 to 2 cm out, and just file it down when it gets longer. It's definitely some maintenance but it's worth it and it becomes easy once you get habitualized with it.

[@kabukibear]

@KemaTheAtheist He was totally joking.

[@kabukibear]

Also, as far as finger picks...they are usually clumsy and hard to use. A thumb pick is the most I would recommend if you're not playing banjo and only then if you're doing heavy picked bass lines. Otherwise, I would avoid them.

[@theXenomancer82846]

Remake when?

[@crazyjose111]

Yea, I just can't bring myself to grow my nails, unless I do this professionally. What's your advice on finger picks? I realize it's blasphemy to use picks with a classical guitar, but it's the only alternative to growing my nails.

[@kabukibear]

@Eqvil lololol, you're crazy. XD

[@Eqvil]

Steel string guitar? (maikoi15011). Haven't you all noticed!?! Steel strings are too crude! They would break under the sheer force of Justin's playing! "Strings I use changes, as I still haven't settled on any brand", he says. Naturally! That's cause even with nylon, he changes the strings 3 times a day! :-D

[@XChronicHash]

zenogias

[@TheRemster]

I love this song but I can't, for the life of me, remember when it plays in the game. Great playing, though.

[@kabukibear]

@SalemJeanette I still need to lose like 10 more pounds for that shirt. That thing is TIGHT.

[@installgentoo8561]

What was the guitar model in this video?

[@majicodemejico]

you're crazy, I thought the taps where perfect.

[@brand00990]

tab link doesnt work for me D:

[@hayabusaturbo8141]

aaa popeye arm strike back :D

[@kabukibear]

@rate25000 My humblest apologies.
