Pokémon Silver - Surf Theme

[@jj7546]

As a guitar I appreciate being able to see all the parts separated it helps me understand how the arrangement works so much better. This one doesn’t sound too good on guitar tho haha. Too much going on I can’t play it all.

[@michaelalbrecht2]

I am really glad that this helped you. By the way, what is it like being a guitar?

Back in high school us VG music lovers were the weirdos. Well, we still may be weirdos but it's a lot more popular and commonplace than it was back then!

[@MentylBreakdown]

Awesome

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thanks

[@TheTerrificTracy]

Yo, I really love this surf theme lots. I haven't played all of the games in the series but it's definitely up there as one of my favorites by default. Very sweet and elegant sounding!

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you!

[@silverhetch3383]

I can feel the waves underneath your fingers :D

[@michaelalbrecht2]

So can I, all these months later

[@ButtonBashOfficial]

They don’t put this level of craftsmanship into game music anymore! Beautiful rendition

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you!

Beautiful arrangement with the 3 pianos. Pokemon music is so great 😭

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you! I went with three pianos because I heard three distinct parts in the original.

[@jamesonthehills]

@@michaelalbrecht2 you hit the nail on the head!

[@OhHeyMarc]

It's also really neat that you have two extra right hands.

[@pokelordomega1701]

This has to be one of the best pokemon songs like ever

[@michaelalbrecht2]

I agree

[@inym_]

One could say your fingers are surfing on the keys

[@michaelalbrecht2]

In fact, at least one has said this

[@unitofmeasurementlover]

best surf theme

[@JJ-tc5tt]

Wow, very accurate cover. Really nice!

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you. Accuracy is definitely my goal.

[@thomasnorton4015]

Your covers are seriously incredible💙 your channel deserves way more eyes and ears for the amazing work

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you! I do this channel out of a personal compulsion, but it is always nice to know someone else got something out of it. =)

[@millionsuponmillions]

@@michaelalbrecht2 no, thank youuuuu!! I cried a little (from joy) when I heard your surf theme cover

[@mobilisq]

i have been meaning to learn to play an instrument for years now, and was just recently gifted a piano. what better piece to start with than this? i intend to study the positioning of your hands here, as this has been a perennial favorite composition :]

[@michaelalbrecht2]

I am so happy that this video is useful to you. You are starting with a tough one, but I'm sure you will do well! =) Good luck

[@2l84me8]

Good times and my favorite surfing theme.

[@michaelalbrecht2]

[@latemammoth]

Sir. This is stupendous

[@Afrodude94]

Wow, this is unbelievable! 😳 It's fantastic!

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you!

[@nestibear]

Sorry I'm so late!! I never got the notification. This sounds incredible! I love how accurate you play it. Every other cover I've listened to of this song tries make it sound more "beautiful" by playing it slow or legato but what makes this song so good it goes fun and bouncy it is imo. Thank you so much for doing this!!:)

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you. Your comment made me feel great.

[@OhHeyMarc]

Every Surf theme since has gone backwards.

[@Wobr-J]

I love it! I realize this is a bit of a tall request, but would you potentially be interested or able to do the game corner / casino from Golder and Silver? That song as well as azalea town are my two favourite osts of all time :) I love your work, great job again. Cheers

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you! I will consider it.

[@millionsuponmillions]

I'm gonna listen to this tomorrow when I surf on my Lapras😌

[@michaelalbrecht2]

[@Scarletteuuh]

That's great, I like your interpretation :)

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you

[@MishaLumen]

A wonderful rendition. Have you thought about covering any more songs from Pokemon GSC ? I'd love to hear you do the National Park theme.

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you! I will add it to the ever growing list. =)

[@GyaradosMaster70]

I love your cover of surf ! Hope you do more Pokemon covers in the future you earned a sub !

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Thank you. I do hope to do some more Pokemon pieces in the future. =)

[@juniperos]

I love this interpretation of the Surf theme. It encapsulates the exciting yet melancholy feel of adventure, almost wanting to capitulate to an ambiguous end but eventually going with the flow, so to speak. Do you happen to have sheet music for this, my good sir?

[@michaelalbrecht2]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do not have sheet music for any of my videos, unfortunately. I memorize the pieces by ear for each performance.

[@juniperos]

​@@michaelalbrecht2I see, that is very impressive. Allow me to ask you, good sir, how did you strengthen your ear? I am also a musician who wants to play piano on the side.

[@DDCC35]

Could you please do the national park theme? 🙂

[@michaelalbrecht2]

We'll see. Many on my to do list

[@PhDinBlender-el7yr]

Can I use this song in a video as background? Sometimes I make pokemon 3D modeling tutorials

[@michaelalbrecht2]

Yes, of course! =)

[@PhDinBlender-el7yr]

@@michaelalbrecht2 thanks ! I’ll credit you when I do.
