Tidus's Theme Guitar Cover - Final Fantasy X - Sam Griffin

[@GaBoGaP]

I was in a coffee shop, running away from home when I heard the news. Our hero, Jecht, gone. Vanished into thin air! My dad must have been his biggest fan. I knew how sad he’d be. Heck, we all were that day. “Zanar,” I says to myself, “What are you thinking?” I went running straight back home. We sat up talking ’bout Jecht all night. My dad and I never talked so much. Whoa… Didn’t mean to reminisce, folks. Anyway… Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today!

[@theloniuspunk383]

whose voice is that in my head right now?? xD

[@scrublord7922]

The writing was suprisingly good for 2001

[@TheSasukekun92]

Hes Jechts blood and the new hope of blitzball. What kind of superplay will he show us today? I dont think im the only one here excited folks

[@andrewlopez7143]

Hope we finally get to see the jecht shot Mach2

[@Koldatt]

Fun fact: Auron and that announcer were the same voice actor ; Matt McKenzie

[@tidus2838]

HA HA HA HA HA HA

[@frankvitale9535]

lmao

[@dipswisher]

A true hero of KZbin.

[@chrismurrayfilm]

Just whistle!

[@maxcurzi]

I came here to find this and was not disappointed

[@KinglyRed]

[@EnigamiNetshinobi]

i just realized it was an "AHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHA!"

[@milkme3663]

Super Thumbnail Bros 😎

[@joshuabarger8422]

Easily his best one yet 😂 "HA HA HA HA"

[@saedt]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

[@Slytherin88]

It frightens me 😱

[@Dotoku14]

Just picture yourself on a boat leaving the ruined dock of Kilika heading toward Luca. Midnight, the ocean lit up by only the stars in the sky. Hear the waves gently brush up against the side of the boat. And then you hear it, off in the distance: "Welcome... to O'aka's."

[@snowrider9018]

"And then you hear it, off in the distance: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA"

[@DangerLevel10]

"Zanar I said to myself, what were you thinking?" Ahh the memories.

[@TheGabs468]

You're a true fan

[@AtticusBeRockin]

Exact dialogue that popped in my head when I heard this lol you know what’s up

[@EnigamiNetshinobi]

XD eh hey! hit the spot. ty ty

[@josht617]

Idk why, but reading this made me hear it and gave me chills

[@Jimmy.Leonardo]

Finally, someone did this song justice.

[@Lomaril1]

I will try to express what I feel in my bad English. It was like being a child again. Thank you for the most beautiful 4:03 of my day.

[@riddleiddle]

Nostalgic

[@willitine]

Dude excellent job covering Tidus’s theme!

[@Quenryon]

I only subbed a few days ago and getting something FFX related in my feed is an absolute treat! Absolutely gorgeous playing, you did laughing Tidus the justice he deserves

[@SunlethSky]

Pls consider doing more FFX stuff, this is beautiful ;-;

[@koYyn]

Crystalisanguiem yea , like "sight of spira"

[@downloadsteve8809]

I think "To Zanarkand" is my favorite from this game. I used to know the first part of this song on piano, but time and lack of practice has taken it from me lol.

[@MrPeteybelljr]

They do an awesome cover of "calm before the storm"

[@denverattaway9895]

Tidus’s Theme on acoustic guitar, a well put together arrangement such as this. For me this is Noboro Umatsu’s most beautiful composition. Great playing. You inspired me to learn the piece.

[@commentator4063]

Nice fuuka profile pic!

[@chrismuratore4451]

This was really well done. It's amazing how well some of these game soundtracks translate to guitar.

[@koYyn]

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaa" Beautiful interpretation 😮

[@Weltall600]

Sam, seriously you have the cleanest play on KZbin. Officially subscribed now. All your videos inspire me to push my guitar skills further. Been playing for 10-15 years and your videos are always so humbling and inspiring. Thank you for all you do!

[@thefinaljoke]

It doesn't matter on which video I post this comment, but I cannot express how much I respect you for arranging all these great songs for 1 acoustic guitar. You cover most of my favourite video game composers and I've always loved them for their lovely arrangements and instrumentation. Seeing all these instruments put together on 6 strings with your love to detail is amazing. I love this channel, thank you for making these videos!

[@xMissMaveNx]

What Tony said.

[@sparda9060]

Wow its been almost 20 years since FFX released. Timeless music by Nobuo Uematsu

[@lesteryupingkun4292]

This comment makes me happy, and sad at the same time. I had a great childhood thanks to Square

[@denverattaway9895]

The chord voicings you’ve arranged are spectacular.

[@danglywangly]

That thumbnail tho. Gold

[@collinknowles5333]

Commenting 6 years later to tell you you're still making grown men tear up out here

[@brandongomez6786]

I don't understand how you only have 30k subscribers. I'm gonna change that pal. You're gonna be a star. I'm gonna show everybody I know and their mother this channel. You're gonna be one of the KZbin greats kid. You're gonna be the next big thing I tell ya.

[@doctajohn07]

+8K subs in 3 months :-p

[@Sora-o]

+16k in 7 months :( unfortunately real talent is not looked upon.. people just prefer hearing the g, c, and d chords instead...

[@davgyyou1554]

@@Sora-o you right bro u,___u

[@johnsonpianoco]

He is good. no doubt, but in this real world how to get instant ton followers is to upload like sexy girl selebgram open their button to show, then BAM! Instant Follower, this is a useful cheat I tell ya!

[@TheCreepypro]

man does he make this sound even better!

[@shadowkid124]

Your guitar playing is amazing of course, but I fucking love your sense of humor bro-ham!

[@civadier477]

Awesome new guitar man!!

[@loev1173]

Is tthat a different gee-tar!? Neat

[@tylerapsley7298]

Come for the music, stay for the end bit

[@user-iu4uk2ty5e]

Stunning arrangement 🥺 this one always gets me emotional. One of my absolute favourites

[@weedwormschlag]

Awesome new guitar and awesome cover as always, Sam. I'm glad you linked the luthier's website those are some gorgeous guitars. Look to be very high quality I'm sure you were proud as ever to get one. I just acquired a Ramirez 2E and I'm happy too to upgrade the axe!

[@musicmonsterman8395]

So incredibly beuatiful. One of the main reasons I decided to bceome a patron!!!!!!!!!!!

[@unrealed]

Thank you so much for doing this one. It's such a gorgeous track. Makes me so sad uematsu isn't making FF music anymore...

[@tony_cgivfx]

Apparently Nobuo is working on FF7 Remake now

[@unrealed]

Tony not surprising since the music in that trailer was godly

[@KTComp]

He didn't do the music in the trailer. No composer works on the trailers for the projects they work on. there are only a very few examples of such a thing happening.

[@scorpio4879]

10/10 from Spain. You are superb, bro.

[@TheChrishendrix]

This is truly unbelievable guitar playing, Fantastic channel!

[@doctajohn07]

Another excellent cover! One of my fave Final Fantasy chill guitar songs, and you definitely translated it well to solo guitar.

[@outputmatters2147]

Gorgeous tune. Masterfully arranged!

[@megamar]

Simply beautiful.

[@all.the.same.iProductions]

Such skill to do this in one take.

[@johnsonpianoco]

you are always my guitar hero for reminiscence my childhood feeling through FF games, thanks for wonderful performance bro!

[@ChronopolisFalls]

Awesome as ever, Sam. I'll learn this one next.

[@LYO999]

I could listen to this for hours

[@ryancoleman4839]

love the oldschool backdrop

[@colinderue8095]

jesus.... SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[@AkaAshen]

Another masterpiece, your guitar cover of the velvet room from persona will always be my favourite :)

[@user-oc3nj8wr7i]

今更ですが、聴いて懐かしすぎて泣きました。この曲すごく好きです。ありがとうございます。

[@Addeionized]

The design of that guitar is so smart.

[@bloodydmgkills7326]

Heck, we all were that day. "Zanar," I says to myself, "What are you thinking?” I went running straight back home. We sat up talking 'bout Jecht all night. My dad and I never talked so much. Whoa... Didn't mean to reminisce, folks. Anyways... Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today! The two teams that have won through to the finals are...of course, the Abes from A-East and the Duggles from C-South. I know there's a lot of people out there today to see the star of the Abes! In just one year, he's become the team's number one player! He's Jecht's blood, and the new hope of blitzball! What kind of super play will he show us today? Will we see his father's legendary shot? I don't think I'm the only one excited here, folks!

[@goodjihad]

This is great Sam! Nice work and MORE FFX CONTENT! Specifically Eternity Light and Waves from FFX-2.

[@tymtrppr3]

Amazing. would love to see more FFX covers :)

[@AshleyWilliams-cn7gl]

Wow, amazing... Brings back so many memories

[@JayBigDadyCy]

Stunning. Please do "To Zanarkand" which is arguably the most beautiful song in the entire FF library.

[@PhoenixPinion]

LV your new guitar

[@theshinycharizard1625]

Tidus would be proud of this work. No lie.

[@TheShachattack13]

New guitar i see. Very nice

[@williamgarrison3573]

[@mikejonesing3096]

I love you doesn’t say enough!!!! I love you!!! And that guitar is siiiick! Thank you for the reference to that dude! On bucket list to get my final guitar from that company. Please never stop! Mike Jonesing was alone and here...........

[@lukesteward3979]

I've never considered a classical guitar, watching these videos makes me want one though!, for now I might try learn this on my steel string, would love to see more Final Fantasy X Covers :)

[@prateek99999]

Beautiful. We want more from FFX plz

[@Emelenyt]

Just saw your video of 'Breezy' in Final Fantasy VIII and had to check if you had done more from other Final Fantasy games. This is an amazing version of this and must have been so challenging to learn. You have done a fantastic job here

[@JLawrenceKenny]

I live for your songs.

[@awyeagames]

I'm glas KZbin premium has arrived here at Brazil, because now I can give this talented man a bit more revenue :)

[@BlueCatBuilds]

[@meaninglessabu8231]

i havent played final fantasy in any excess but that last part got me in the feelings

[@lifeofkai5063]

I was in a coffee shop running away from home when I heard the news......

[@TheMetal747]

Do "FFX-2-Memories of Lightwaves " already,I've been waiting for that song!!!

[@sageosaka]

Seconded

[@resoundingsource6595]

as fun as a game as this was.. man, I barely even recognize this tune! there was something so crystal clear about the soundtracks of ff7 & 8 -- their melodies were so strong and right on point, creating such strong associations with their intended characters/ scenes.

[@magicmerlin3709]

Hey buddy can you do a tutorial on tidus theme on electric guitar? Explaining step by step? It would mean a lot friend I love this song and I so so want to learn how to play it on electric guitar

[@rustyshackleford7984]

Wow

[@9unslin9er]

The nostalgia...

[@RjxVengeance]

Do "To Zanarkand"!!! You would blow that song out of the water!!

[@jjuggu6713]

[@tyfire1]

New guitar!?!?

[@Tsudoshi09]

Gdammit!...I wish I had longer fingers for a flamenco guitar

[@chrisreinhart6421]

Idk if it's your arrangement or you just missed a section. Either way, still a great job! massively underrated tune.

[@sbriatt7725]
