FF7 Album Release Stream

[@davidconcepcion5082]

Seeing those Japanese comments gotta be a real honor

[@Choss922]

I never comment on stuff but you are so damn good at guitar and playing the soundtracks from my childhood as perfectly as I remember them. Thanks for making this

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Absolutely my pleasure! 🙏

[@grendelfly83]

That Mako Reactor cover... Wow.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Definitely one of my favorites from the album to play. I like the beginning echoes and the slow build. Thanks for listening!

[@NAZGVL_147]

I made it 30 seconds before i hit the subscribe button. Magnificent :)

[@WorcesterTerrariums]

THE GOLD SAUCER SONG ;O

[@michaelcostantini9039]

Jessie's Theme is legitimately as beautiful as a melody gets. Even more beautiful rendition here. Incredibly skill on display with the guitar.

[@PharoePhiba]

On that day, five years ago... man, such a great way of utilizing some of what they had already composed but in a different way. I remember that melody giving me goosebumps as a kid.

[@tochihumi]

日本のゲーム音楽を、そして私の大好きなFF7について素晴らしい演奏をありがとう。

[@JohnOethGuitar]

これらの曲をギターで演奏できることを嬉しく思います。 それらは私の子供時代のサウンドトラックです。 聞いてくれてありがとう！

[@danielle.r2007]

I’ve enjoyed your music before my daughter was born. Now it helps relax her during the witching hour ♥️ thank you for these beautiful Melodies

[@JohnOethGuitar]

That's so sweet. Congrats on your little one!

[@ThatMellon]

I keep going to like this video but then I’ve already liked it and it makes me feel kinda sad at the fact I can’t like it more than once. Amazing playing! Real talent; absolutely love FF7’s soundtrack and you nailed every track! Thank you!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

haha I appreciate that. I liked your comment. 😆

[@carlosv6365]

my gf passed about 5 months ago and i decided now that i have to pack up her stuff. your tunes here have been so helpful during this time. thank you for your wonderful ff7 renditions (bought the wavs on bandcamp x)

[@JohnOethGuitar]

That is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry for your loss. It's incredibly touching to hear that my music has been able to provide some comfort during such a difficult time. Take care and be gentle with yourself as you go through this process.

[@carlosv6365]

so much emotion. So more than Rebirth... Greetings from France !

Your timing of this album launch couldn't be more appropriate

[@AngelsVol54]

You are the Only One, Love your Style and love FF VII, congratulations

[@yoshiem]

前からFFのBGMで聞かせていただいていました このタイミングでのFF７のメロディ 癒されました ありがとうございます✨✨

[@graemenicholls2836]

Thank you. Just thank you! You bring calm to this shinra dominated world.

[@smoothbanana]

You mean bring “kalm” right? XD

[@nathanbloom1844]

Again you knock this out of the park! I wish to some day have even a sliver of the musical awesomeness you casually share with us all. Keep up the great work!

[@stephenyatesacoustic]

These arrangements are superb. I'm a big FFVII fan and you have captured the mood of the music perfectly.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thanks, Stephen! That means a lot coming from you. Love your compositions and playing!

[@simoncss1]

Maestro! Before hearin out your renditions, I'd thought I mainly love full orchestral + certain piano versions for these FF7 pieces but you sir, have opened my ears to guitar versions. Love & bought your Cloud Smiles + Tifa theme, over iTunes.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

That's high praise because I love the Piano Collections and Distant Worlds arrangements. Cheers and I appreciate the support!

[@AstrobioMike]

Your talent with this is literally awe inspiring. Love when you’re playing rhythm and lead at the same time and I have no idea how. Really incredible, man 👏🙌

[@JohnOethGuitar]

You're too kind. That is one of the most satisfying things about classical guitar for me. And that goes for other polyphonic instruments that I play poorly like harp and piano. Cheers!

[@chrisstewart9828]

Jesus man! That is amazing talent!

[@4_10fridays]

Amazing. Just absolutely amazing. Thank you for pouring your talent into this. I hope Uematsu sees this.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Appreciate you! 🙏

[@JonasRodrigodosSantos]

Congratulations on your dedication... you really love what you do...

[@juldrums]

dude, you're just incredible. Listening to this, hyping myself up and playing along with bass, waiting for the 12AM Release!!!! CHEERS AND THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!!!!!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Hell yeah. Have a good release day!

[@stevenqirkle]

Wow all of these original FF7 arrangements for guitar being released at once. This is incredibly special.

[@seionne85]

I love what you did with Rufus' Welcoming Ceremony!!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thanks! My dog was a huge fan of the percussion section. Lol

[@warden8508]

Heard your covers a ton on Smokaloke’s twitch stream and had to come here to comment; your music is beautiful

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Yes! He is extremely kind featuring my music. I dropped in on his stream the other day, and it was a great time.

[@luvamiart8567]

Ahhhhhh so happy you dedicated a video to the full soundtrack of my favourite game!! Added to my playlist for when I write and draw, thank you

[@carsonrush3352]

The stream starts at 15:00 and the playing starts at 19:23. Keep up the great work. Your music is awesome!

[@SocialAnimalJC]

Not anymore! I think an edit was made to the final video. Now the stream starts at 00:00, and the playing starts at 00:00! FANTASTIC VIDEO! I'm hyped about FF7 music! I think after a few hesitations, you get into the groove of things, starting at the MAKO REACTOR! Headbang more, we need you, bro!

[@varg1231]

This was so relaxing and beautiful to listen to. Like needy lullabies.

[@bengermain8310]

Like how the Golden Saucer tune sounds like an old medieval folk song on guitar, brilliant effort man!

[@anthonydegliesposti9942]

so perfect

[@alexandrestrawinski7581]

Once again, how can someone play so well. My grand grand oncle would be proud of you!

[@moneygamerjaz5906]

Just to take it further - your arrangement for Flowers Blooming in the Church is genius. Very complex but so well played

[@soeur_karamazov]

Amazing. You're an excellent guitar player but as a long-time Final Fantasy fan I mainly listen to your FF covers. FF7 has a unique place in my heart, I know Nobuo Uematsu's music played an essential part in the impact it had on my generation, and your rendering is tasteful, unique, personal and truthful. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

I really appreciate the kind words and album purchase. This project was so nostalgic and creatively fulfilling to work on. Have a great week!

[@goldorak2746]

Merci à toi pour ce fabuleux hommage, c'est vraiment merveilleux de t'écouter ! 🤪

[@sickn0te581]

beautiful rendition, thank you sir

[@CoffeeFuelledGaming]

This is literally the only reason I would love to be able to play an instrument

[@JohnOethGuitar]

I started playing classical guitar around the same time I got into classic JRPGs like FF7 and 10, Xenogears, and Chrono Trigger. Those soundtracks had a big impact on me, and I enjoy playing them to this day. Cheers!

[@CoffeeFuelledGaming]

@JohnOethGuitar Yeah I still listen to all of them now. Amazing games and sounds tracks, amazing to hear them like this too!

[@stephenglaus7048]

Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us! Have been a long time listener - you have been the background ambience for countless hours of work and studying - it's always a pleasure and an honor to have your company!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Appreciate that, Stephen! I'm very lucky to able to play music I'm passionate about and have such a kind listenership. Cheers!

[@Pliskkenn]

Oooo Shinra Inc is fantastic.

[@daniele4513]

That's great! i wish i could play like you but it will take years , maybe i will try arrange it for a pick

[@puffpuffsugar]

So amazingly done it got me chills all the time 🥹💖

[@imnnnn]

Love it, Any chance to release as a vinyl?

[@DarthPew]

You have quickly become one of my favorite KZbin arrangers. Your sense of arrangement is on a different level, and you’ve inspired me to branch into a “traditional” harmony

[@JohnOethGuitar]

I really appreciate that! ❤

[@Danzigx]

Congratulations i love your work!

[@jessicastar7814]

Again bravo.. john you played absolutely incredibly. Thank you so much.. blessings and good fortune ^_^

[@moneygamerjaz5906]

i love the choices and your versions. That Cait Sith theme slaps

[@Dreadiroth89]

Loved listening to this, fantastic work. The co-ordination to play the “bass” and “treble” notes simultaneously is really impressive!

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thanks! That is the most rewarding aspect of playing for me - when it all comes together. :)

[@aurelienl4172]

Cait Sith's theme is kinda Bert Jansch.. great job!

[@UnexpectedAmy]

Ahhh, cried a few times. These are beautiful compositions. Thank you! ❤

[@blitheringape5321]

bruh. what a release. nice way to lean into the imminent arrival of spring

Excellent work as always, John. I've been listening to the album on Spotify in the car most of the week. When do we get a vinyl pressing? :P

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thanks, Mike! I really need to do some research on vinyl prices and production. Maybe one day. :)

[@joely2k83]

Bro you are legend!! my childhood!! you nail it

[@LostSoulAscension]

Congrats John, I missed it! But I am listening to it now! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to this craft. Absolutely amazing to hear these songs in guitar form. It changes how I think about the instrument and the textures that you get out of it are beyond me at times. You really transport us to a new world with the arrangements you've done, and it absolutely captures the essence of the original piece. That's not easy when you go from a full orchestra to just a guitar.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thanks for listening and the kind words. I always love trying to get interesting sonorities and textures from the guitar, especially if it is justified with the piece. Have a great one!

[@-HASH]

Wow your performance is incredible!

[@editoradracoBR]

Amazing work. Hear your albuns daily.

Great rendition of Shinra Inc. / Mako Reactor. It's not easy to make an arrangement that has to cover for synths and strings.. amazingly done!

[@xavierberard4775]

oh and the other tracks are great too! 😅

[@rigodon97]

Out of curiosity how long did you spend transposing all these songs into classic guitar (for FF7 only) ?

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Many of these I worked on over the last four years. Recently, I arranged fifteen of them over the course of two months.

[@rigodon97]

​@@JohnOethGuitarAmazing ! Any tabs to share by any chance 🥺 ?

[@jayurenos]

How can anyone not love ff7 og. Everything about the game , especially the music its on another level. I do like remake and rebirth, (music) but the original music is better Edit. Part of what made the music so powerful was the fact that there was no speech. Each character was known by their themesong .

[@aztrozee]

Phenomenal
