Final Fantasy VII - J-E-N-O-V-A (Cover)

Guitar cover of "J-E-N-O-V-A" from the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack.
This one was super tricky! It really tested my skills as a guitar player. I wasn't too sure if I'd be capable of not only recording but filming this monster of a theme. Nobuo Uematsu definitely didn't write this one with guitar in mind, but the parts sound really sick arranged for a more metal style.

[@kazukihiratani]

Straight up dude! Those arpeggios killed me! Hahahaha

[@tintdofficial]

The concentration!!!!! Sick kaz!!!!!

[@kazukihiratani]

Thanks bro!! Hahaha yep, I was hardcore focusing so I didn't mess up. It took ages to get it all sounding tight, but it worked out in the end. To be fair, the video was probably the hardest part 😅😂

[@CwgWolf]

i feel absolutely shameful for not listening to this absolute rockin banger! love it bro!

[@kazukihiratani]

Hahaha thanks bro! I knew you'd dig it since FF7 is a game we've bonded over! There's so many killer songs on the soundtrack, it was so hard to nail down which one I wanted to do first, but here we are!

Splendid job on the cover, mate. 😃

[@kazukihiratani]

Thank you Frankie!!! It was quite the mission to get it sounding right, and the video was hard to film, but it all worked out in the end hahaha
