Radical Dreamers -Le Trésor Interdit- on CLASSICAL GUITAR! - Chrono Cross

►Listen to my full Chrono Cross album on Spotify! open.spotify.com/album/4rAtKK...
SUBSCRIBE so you know when I upload a new video game cover! bit.ly/SamGriffinSubscribe
♫ MY GUITAR was built by Evan Kingma! www.evankingmaguitars.com --- Upgrade your axe!
Doing this project was an absolute dream of mine! Yasunori Mitsuda has always been one of my all time favorite composers and the Chrono Cross OST happens to my favorite video game soundtrack ever. My teenage self would not have been able to handle the absurdity of me doing an album of Chrono Cross music with Yasunori.
If you want more video game covers and original compositions on the classical guitar like this one, TABS, and general acoustic remix shredding, this is the place spot for all your video game guitar covers needs. Smack a sub. Smack a bell. Smack yourself.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

So freaking cool man, congrats!!

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Ayo rain! thanks man : )

[@BatrickPateman430]

Yasunori mitsuda did some of the most beautiful tracks im videogames. Even 25 years later they still the best

[@ezioauditore5616]

Pre 2k music were the best

[@riha1715]

このアルバム本当にお気に入りで出先でよく聴いてます。クロノクロスの曲をギターで聴いてみたいとずっと思っていた私には夢のようなアルバムだった…

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

I don't know what this says but I like it

[@yourfavoriteflavor]

@@SamGriffinGuitar Moving shiz brah, sounds like a dream. Essentially. I agree, brilliant work dude.

[@missbeans]

​@Sam Griffin Guitar according to google translate it says that they enjoy the album and listen to it often, that it was a dream for them to listen to this soundtrack played on guitar. It won't let me copy/paste but that's the jist.

[@nikorasufueri1856]

This album is really my favourite and I often listen to it on the way to the office. This album is like a dream come true for me as I always wished I could hear Chrono Cross’ songs played on the guitar.

[@robotninja]

Mitsuda himself linked me here which is just... sick. Anyway, I am so happy this is streamable now because I missed out on buying it. Will go stream the heck out of it. Thanks Sam!

[@BauerKillz]

Words can't describe how happy I am for you man, not to mention how incredible you are as a musician and a gamer who understands - truly understands - the spirit and magic behind the tunes you cover. Getting your work on major streaming services and having the ability to directly communicate with legends is...well, legendary, and you deserve it. Keep up the great work and WELL DONE 🤜🤛

[@Oldo]

This made me cry instantly, I miss my youth, wish I could do it all again someday

[@miadietrich7347]

You said it, man... I feel the same way.

[@NihiloNihilum]

To me, Chrono Cross have the most beautiful OST of ALL TIME, and you Sam do amazing job here, like always, thank you !

[@me.rafaelbenjamin]

Amazing, twins playing guitar so perfectly

[@Minimax04]

Mad seeing twins with so much skill. Truly identical.

[@miadietrich7347]

This music touches my very soul. To hear it arranged in a unique, skillful, and spiritual way makes my heart simply sing. Thank you!

[@Fizz-Pop]

I know what you mean. This tune touches something inside me that I don't know how to reach myself. The whole OST for this game hits kinda deep for me. It's not even my favorite game! (damn good game btw)

[@RunonMusic]

This is incredible news, my favorite guitar player playing my favorite compositions to play through my player speakers…much amaze

[@TrumanWilson]

This is a great album, I was really sad that I couldn't listen to it before so this is a dream come true.

[@jacksoningram4314]

Holyyyyyy shit, i'm SO glad this got a wide release! Your music is incredible, and it's amazing you got to work on such a special project. I'll be listening on repeat.

[@SorandaGuitar]

I really enjoyed every second of this wonderful arrangement! Two classical guitars is a lot of work, but it allows you to experiment many beautiful things!

[@andreiulyanov9241]

Each time somebody plays this song, the world becomes better.

[@Bobman32x]

Im so excited this is out of the paywall. When I heard the news you were making this, I was so excited. But man, that $200 bluray, made me so sad that such a beautiful project was going to be locked away from the general public was so dissapointing. I am ELATED to finally listen to this, and I will listen to it over and over again

[@KairuHakubi]

hahahaha I remember that. I forget who said 'piracy is a symptom of failure in the market' but .. a populace willing to pay a 200 dollar blu-ray for a music album is a symptom of something really messed up about endemic asian obedience.

[@Fizz-Pop]

Amazing! Chrono Cross has one of the best soundtracks of any game. Love it.

[@georgemathai1014]

Man.. Got tears in my eyes. You were born to do this, Sam! Congratulations.

[@josephgladney4136]

This is the greatest piece of music in any video game ever written. I am exceptionally proud of your achievement as I have witnessed the growth of your recording potential and your arrangement composition. The impeccable coordination with Yasunori-sensei has cultivated a product that is at its highest level and for that, every honor and privilege should be afforded onto you. This iconic and revolutionary piece of music is the very best arrangement you have ever made and I say that with high confidence. If anything should make people more upset is that you may never again top this as being the highest honor, most precise work effort, and clear presentation of professionalism that could be seen on this channel. I hope that is not true, but I expect it will prove to be so. Congratulations Sam. As you move into a golden age of awesomeness I am honored to call you friend and I appreciate your growth and development into being absolutely better every day while always reaching higher. -freedomjoe

[@DavidBentley23]

You're the best at these covers. I love Chrono Cross and your music. I look forward too chilling out too your amazing work.

[@CRGuitarr]

You have both impeccable taste and timing. Stoked to stream the album

[@joshawnard]

Yay big news Sam. Happy for you, and happy for me as I get to listen to this finally. Chrono Cross OST the GOAT

[@jamesderosa2041]

I wasn't able to grab this. I'm so happy to get to hear this. I love Chrono Trigger more as a game, but Chrono Cross is my favorite game soundtrack of all time. Or movie or TV. I love your arrangements and Yasunori Mitsuda and 12-string artists like Tommy Emmanueal and Leo Kottke. This is a total blessing. I'm literally weeping hearing this.

[@nobbi_tv5244]

I fricking love that Theme. I really like to hear the Cosmosky Orchestra Version. You did a wonderfull Job !

[@angrybecks]

Amazing work as always! Can't wait to listen to the whole album

[@koxohwolf6705]

FINALLY !!!! SONGS OF CHRONO CROSS THANKS MAN !!

[@cleardrop4531]

Love this game, these songs, and your playing Sam! Thank you!

[@JimboHammy]

You have no idea how excited I am to be able to listen to this! Thanks, Sam! Love you, bro!

[@omgthegamer]

So happy to hear that you’re able to release this for streaming! I actually bought the album a year back to support you and Mitsuda, and because I’m a diehard Chrono Cross OST fan :) Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@junkivore7379]

Truly sick. Gave me chills bruh. Congrats, Sam and Joe. You two are amazing.

[@dyzzispell]

This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing your album. It really is one of the greatest soundtracks. And you did a fantastic job with it.

[@Kaori_Suzuki]

This is so sooo beautiful. The chrono series is my absolute favorite and holds a very special place in my heart. yasunori mitsuda has always been one of my favorite composers ever. You did an amazing job on this.

[@Scarlet_09000]

Thank you for covering this, Chrono Cross has always been my top favorite JRPG and part of my childhood. This is the best cover so far.

[@machinaeZER0]

AHHHH YOU RELEASED THE WHOLE ALBUM!!!! I am so excited to finally listen to it, thank you so much!!!

[@jomiar309]

It took me 15 seconds to add it to my favorite albums on Spotify, and radical dreamers is one of my favorite songs period. I can't even tell you the feelings that washed over me listening to this! I need this salve, thank you!

[@JohnnyDarko01]

super happy for you sam, idk how you managed to complete this project without fan boying out of control and remaining professional. I would not have been able to handle it

[@DavidBentley23]

Those ending harmonics!

[@logandowell]

That's awesome! I've had it for awhile, but it's great everyone will get a chance to listen to it. It's really a beautiful album, thank you Sam.

[@markvandersalm]

I know what I'll be listening to the coming days! Very beautiful arrangement, Sam, thanks for sharing!

[@jonnyactual]

Wow, dude! Phenomenal work. I'm so excited we get to listen to the full album now!

[@kevinkuan8827]

This song has a special place in my heart since the first time I listened to it (yes, I grew up playing games with soundtracks composed by Yasunori Mitsuda). Thanks for taking this classic to the next level. Really love your stuff! Now I have a chance to learn it by looking at your music video!

[@AlaskanPanda907]

It's awesome that this gets out to more people! I ordered the concert CD last year just so I could listen to your take on the Chrono Cross soundtrack (Mitsuda's work is _amazing_!) It's brought me a lot of joy, and I'm glad other people get to experience it too. :)

[@sammathai761]

Bought back some good memories. From simpler times.

[@absalaomarques9965]

When an arrangement and a rendering reach the pinnacle of SICKness. I could listen to it all day.

[@DirtBlockMC]

With tears in my eyes, I just want to express my appreciation to you for sharing this with us. Many a people can play music, few are born for it. I believe you were placed in this world to bring emotion to life through your melodies. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I'm a huge fan of all of it

[@WaterMusic34]

Beautiful, man. This really is one of the greatest songs to grace a video game. What a cool experience too, talking with Mitsuda on how he'd like the parts to go. Glad this is available to listen to now.

[@waffle9438]

Boy, I must confess I had never heard this theme before, and... Let's just say I understand why you praise it the way you do. This must have been a blast to work on. Thank you so much for sharing this with us

[@SevansVII]

Sick! What a dream come true. I love that this happened for you! Beautiful arrangement and playing.

[@amagram808]

Absolutely amazing!

[@rickc2102]

Oh this was cool too stumble upon! And now to check your videos for Shore of Dreams of course...

[@jamesreed620]

My favorite video game OST! Thanks Sam keep it up!

[@heavylead1327]

Greatest video game song of all time. Yeah. Straight up. Congrats on the amazing job this was!

[@andrewjones1201]

Love your amazing work! Chrono Trigger/Cross music is so good and your playing is perfect!

[@jaysk4245]

My friend literally cried when i made him listen to this. So many memories of us playing Mitsuda's music when we were kids. Amazing work!

[@TheCrawl]

This is huge! I'm so excited to listen to this full album. And I'm stoked you get to share it, Sam! I actually played this game a few years ago after you brought up the OST numerous times, even as far back as the SBB Twitch stream days, so I already linked this game to you in my mind. This is awesome, man! Congrats!

[@pixelj4877]

I was so dissapointed I couldn't import the music from Japan, which was sold out when I first heard about the album. It's an amazing monday morning, finding out there's a Chrono Cross remaster that just released (I had no idea!) and that I can finally listen to my favourite videogame cover youtuber playing my favourite video game OST ever. I just finished listening to the whole album. Masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@TJPactronix]

Monstrous tone. Excellent technique

[@Shibestrike]

this lights my heart

[@rmasoni]

Beautiful performance, as always!

[@miredbuddha961]

I love the light/dark outfit choice, Sam. I'm glad I snagged that blu-ray up when I did. Sweet arrangement, bro.

[@missbeans]

Oh man this hits hard! Chrono Chross was my very first jrpg way back in the day. Played it together with my first boyfriend. That young love did not last, but my love for the ost lasts 20+ years later. It's just magical stuff. How amazing that you got to consult with the man himself! Your cover is absolutely beautiful. Wish I had been able to buy the album to support you!

[@jjmk3153]

YESSSSSSSS! EVER SINCE YOU SAID YOU DID THIS ALBUM IVE BEEN WANTING TO HEAR IT BECAUSE I GREW UP WITH THIS GAME AND WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO AY THE INTRO ON GUITAR. WONDERFUL SAM! SORRY FOR YELLING IM SO EXCITED

[@TheCreepypro]

[@GuitarSVD]

[@GuitarFable]

[@DanimalCannonOfficial]

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

Thx Dan : )

[@nickparsons337]

Holy shit Sam; beyond top tier as usual. Beautifully arranged and brilliantly executed! You sir, are simply on another level.

[@Stratopeter87]

This is awesome news! I couldn't afford the album back when it was released, now instantly faved it on Spotify before even listening. Love it!

[@Fabianv07]

That was awesome bro! it gave me goosebumps, congratulations! You made a great job there 👏🏻 God bless you 🕊️🤍✨

[@Algorhythmz]

Man... this came out amazing. SO tight, really fluid and elegant. Well done my dude \m/

[@theballadofbill]

Great job Sam!

[@SeveredLegs]

Masterfully done, as always.

[@TwilightGamer1993]

Never know, you made this album. Thanks for mention it, I heard in on Spotify the last few days and it really sound beautiful. Well done.

[@thomasfreelandv4295]

I AM SO HYPED THAT I CAN LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING NOW LITERALLY YOU RULE MAN!!!! 🔥

[@hellololo25]

Congratulations, Sam!! ✨ This was beautiful~

[@a-terrible-fate532]

I love chrono cross , its my favorite jrpg of all time and a big part of my childhood , the OST is fantastic and you nailed this !

[@IgkuitBBswm]

This is absolutely gorgeous man!! Plllleaassseee tell me eventually you'll be able to make physical copies! I'd die for a vinyl of this.

[@nowrongnumbers]

Wonderful. It really is one of the best compositions ever made for a videogame and for the entire music!

[@sunlitslumber]

This is the version that you hear in the PS4 preorder theme bonus for Chrono Cross! Thank you for the lovely arrangement. It makes me sad that the PS5 can't use themes from our PS4.

[@junc6449]

Congrats bro, it's awesome

[@Dorgengoa2080]

Chrono Cross is one of the most important games in my life.. And a big part of that is the music. And you have encapsulated that perfectly. This game and the music reminds me of my childhood and staying home alone for the first time ever (With an older sibling). Playing through Fort Dragonia and just having a great time with this game.. Ahh the Memories.

[@caeonosphere]

Oowee, I've been wanting to get at that album forever! Very nice.

[@darthdrewsiff]

Taught myself this song a long time ago. Struggled with it for a good while. I didn't think anyone could do it justice. Well played, sir.

[@jaerivus]

I can't count the amount of plays I've given this song from the OST, and your performance was spellbinding. I even studied some of your riff technique to improve my own playing. I'll definitely say that when you made the slides to the 7th fret (during the bridge or whatever you might call the brief Bm excursion near the end), it definitely departed from all the crappy online tabs I've ever studied. Thanks for this upload, and keep achieving excellence!

[@luccasmedina7991]

The best cover you've ever done. The best cover i've ever heard. The best thing i've ever heard.

[@oldmanhutch]

Getting the legend himself to recognize your guitar and have you perform them speaks volumes of your ability. 😁

[@danilorodz2864]

Magnífico.. Obrigado mestre Yasunori Mitsuda... Esta trilha de Chrono Cross está marcada pra sempre no meu coração...

[@davidkillian215]

Beautiful stuff as always!

[@stephen25uk]

You and your bro play real good. I really enjoyed that.

[@bradcook1537]

Love this song so much, it holds a lot of memories for me

[@tomfehr]

yesssss!!!! i've loved your work for years and Chrono Cross also is my favorite OST ever so i'm gonna listen to the shit outta this

[@scottyxscxrs5483]

My dude, you do my teenage years justice. I’m elated to see this after Arni Village being my first hill to tackle back in the day on guitar. It warms my old gamer soul to see these done so right

[@Satook]

Just amazing. Got me tearing up 😊

[@HarleyGuioGuitar]

I saw Squeenix tweet about this album and definitely geeked out a little bit. They def chose the best man for the job, haha. Congrats man!

[@MountainHomeJerrel]

The world is a better place with your talent and skill here.

[@GregoryWilsonAuthor]

Really incredible, Sam. It was an honor to have you on ArvCon a few years back (maybe we can have you back sometime?), and somehow you've gotten even better over the years. Just spectacular work. Congratulations on everything.

[@GregoryWilsonAuthor]

Sam, is there a good way to get a hold of you for a question?

[@HarrisonTheGrey]

It’s so good man. What an opportunity. Just got chance to hear it after I bought the MP3 of the 20th anniversary concert. Also mindblowingly good.
