SUNSET PATH on Classical Guitar - Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns

[@evankingmaguitars]

You make me a proud luthier, Sammy boy

[@martinluc2361]

this guitar is wonderfull , great idea great sound

[@MasDouc]

My dream is to own one of your works of art.

[@jimbojimjs]

@evankingmaguitars how much would a guitar like that cost us mere mortals?

[@evankingmaguitars]

@@jimbojimjs You can contact me about ordering and pricing through the link in the description, but my waitlist is currently closed due to a very high amount of orders :)

[@jimbojimjs]

@@evankingmaguitars that's a nice problem to have. Congrats on your success :)

[@zetsun0]

0:53 bro how. I've been stuck on this part for ages

[@Im4T89]

Lightning Returns: FFXIII is one of all-time favorites, especially the music. Thank you so much for this 😇

[@Net_express1]

Even as the world falls into darkness, light glimmers all throughout within the people. Always strive to do right, even if the odds seem impossible

[@TrumanWilson]

Those harmonics and slaps on the same beat?! That looks really hard.

[@GoatFelon]

I was just thinking that...

[@zetsun0]

Sam at the end: "let me get down on your level" Me: "I understand"

[@JohnPaulHorvath]

I can't believe you did this. Lightning Returns I feel is one of the way lesser played final fantasy games, let alone games in general. And I have always loved this song. This sounds so good, really glad to see you've played LR and clearly admire the music in it, it's really something magical and ethereal. Would love to hear more from this game

[@gutty1967]

Nostalgic. I want to go to somewhere like Wilderness and listen to this. Absolutely chilling.😌

[@Maxiow]

Didn't even play the game ( yet ) and still I feel goosebumps hearing you play man, great job :)

[@alicecardi8565]

So much nostalgia... I'm about to re-play Lightning Returns when I'll have more free time. Can't wait.

[@GoatFelon]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy with how this one turned out. I've been requesting this for so long, I kind of feel lost now that it's done. Looking forward to learning all them repeats!

[@AlexSeewald]

Well done Sam! Sounds great. I agree with Josh. The picture looks better for some reason ❤️

[@MasterfulPeon]

This video is criminally under viewed. So is the whole channel, now that I think about it.

[@kyledanner436]

Been listening to this over and over, never played final fantasy but love the sound of this! Good work man

[@KjellSoenksen]

epic as always man

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

Your guitar sounds soooooooooooooooooooo good in this one, man. I’m blown away and more excited than ever that one day I’ll have an Evan Kingma guitar of my own. Wonderful playing, Sam.

[@sam.246]

Finally some LRXIII love, I hope you can arrange more from it :D

[@cecilchau181]

Great performance and arrangement. Also love this recording setting. Very warm and sweet ❤️

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

So beautiful. Was this recorded with the new camera, by the way?

[@ofon2000]

Mind your own business, jackass.

[@evankingmaguitars]

@@ofon2000 how DARE you talk to Joshua that way smh

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

Wtf man? Why would you ask this? Talk about an invasion of privacy!

[@somebodyfixmyinternet]

@@evankingmaguitars Mind your own business jackass!

[@AlexSeewald]

@@ofon2000 Dude, don’t you even dare. That’s really not on.

[@chrisreinhart6421]

I was literally talking to a friend today about how I still listen to this OST like 3 times a week. Thanks for covering!

[@franciscogallardo3287]

This game is underrated AF. I love this game!

[@kevinleite6309]

I'm very glad hearing this

[@peacemac1992]

Having a blast with those harmonics. As always, enchanted. Keep on keepin' on, Sam..

[@karlharvey4806]

Genuinely amazing how you got all the small notes and everything, great job

[@Tohlemiach]

I'm liking the video before I've heard a single note and there's not a goddamn thing you can do to stop me. Now play that there song, little guitar man inside my tv.

[@jeffsmith1096]

OMG I love this track so much ! Thank you a lot for making this!!! You are the best

[@moegeemoe]

Fantastic as ever. I was about to be like "You must really have a big one for our boy Nobuo Uematsu" but as the song went on, it didn't sound like a Final Fantasy song at all, and I found it wasn't a Uematsu but instead by Masashi Hamauzu...

[@You-ud2fp]

Hamauzu did most of the music for 13 trilogy, and also most of the FF7 remake soundtrack

[@sam.246]

Naoshi Mizuta.

[@leaves6813]

Woo some Lightning love!

[@sleepy_howl]

Lovely. Your arrangement are on another level, Sam. I've bought classical guitar books and nothin compares to your work

[@lucasfriche3150]

You think I got 6 minutes to watch a cover ? Hell yeah I do

[@SuperGgriffin]

There really are no words other than it’s just perfect

[@HarleyGuioGuitar]

Yes!! One of my faves - Great arrangement, man!

[@pe_jota_]

Excellent work, Sam. Sounds awesome, congrats.

[@oceandreams7774]

Beautiful chords bro, there's so much to learn from this!

[@Potatointhehood]

omg Lighty Returns UwU

[@changoleon119]

Awesome!

[@shashurimagrease2890]

The best field track in the entire trilogy and arguably top 3

[@wisdomscores4014]

I can't say I know this song, but I do now and it's really beautiful! Great work Sam :)

[@culturalantidote7914]

One of your best yet, Sam.

[@cicciodibenedetto18]

Masterfully played.love it ☺️

[@machinaeZER0]

Wow, this is maybe one of the best arrangements I've heard you do (and I love your stuff). Really moving and well played. :)

[@DrassRay]

Sam... SAM! Dude. I love this so much. Well done.

[@OttawaGuitarTrio]

Dang boy good work! Great arrangement and playing. Chord in this are fire.

[@Nbrobst]

Dude! Favorite song from that game, great job

[@s8704112003]

This is so Beautiful~~~

[@EyesArePlanets]

Really beautiful cover, Sam. Inspiring as always. Thanks.

[@aaroncull1160]

Very Beautiful Sam! Loved it.

[@etherealshay]

this is amazing!!! your guitar covers always do the song justice (and, dare i say, improve on them..?) amazing work :]

[@dinosupes9320]

Can’t stop listening to this one :)

[@abelalejandro9110]

Todo lo que hace este hombre es perfecto

[@cassidycastro9490]

I would love to hear you play Tribe of heavenly kami from okami. The way you play is so fluid and amazing.

[@Jon-vc3ki]

Thanks for your hard work man. This song seems so dammmmm tough how did you memorize all of it. there is alot of layers to this song and you make something that's really hard look really easy.

[@jaysea5804]

Could you play link's awakening - ballad of the wind fish? ....i mean of course you could cause you are awesome.

[@LeonHaart13]

Great sound

[@zezerik]

Beautiful.

[@dogsoap]

you're unstoppable

[@simonhis2680]

You absolute beast, beautiful!

[@Magoo277]

I know that some people have done it, but no one has done it correctly from start to finish, and I know it's possible. If you do Leia's theme and or Han and leia's theme, all the way through, I will literally sub to your patreon for the rest of my life. I know you can do it, and do it justice.

[@weevilsnitz]

some love for what I thought was a great set of games and stories that were overlooked because "buT IT'S NoT OpEn wOrLd"

[@ESEJESEJ]

Search for Jontron Final Hallway.

[@megyskermike]

I don't think that's the reason..

[@weevilsnitz]

@@megyskermike linearity is usually the main focus of the criticism beside the battle mechanics which, again, I thought were fun. But it's just FF fanboys wanting the same experience they've airways had instead of letting the devs make something different.

[@megyskermike]

@@weevilsnitz Fair enough, I always thought it was a story and/or character issue (but I guess I'm not the most well read on the topic).

[@weevilsnitz]

@@megyskermike yeah there were certainly other parts of the argument but first was usually "but it's not even a final fantasy game, it's just a hallway". Just gamers being super stickers about not enjoying a game if it's not an 11 out of 10 according to them m

[@marcelorinaldi1515]

BEAUTY

[@Jerome616]

Nice! Sounds lovely

[@Orhyne]

Wonderful, that's all. I really think your ff covers are the best on KZbin. When i'm listening to you, i fly. Can i Ask you something ? I wanted you to play Barret's theme in your Super guitar Bros Channel. With your talent, it would be great.

[@Ligael_Verne]

Amazing ! Fantastic play ;)

[@hexyearhexyear]

holy damn this is fucking beautiful. I too want to request a song for so long!!!

[@sk8ermGs]

Just too good. Would you ever consider doing the metal gear solid 2 soundtrack ?

[@kurtdewittphoto]

If I tried playing any one of these songs, it would be more than my muscle memory getting jacked up.

[@digbickland4634]

Chocobo theme please or gold saucer!

[@JohnPaulHorvath]

I'm trying to learn this on my steel string acoustic and its really difficult so far

[@Michael-Guitar]

Very nice!

[@jeanderoubin6870]

Very nice ! Congrats. But it is a shame I think the piece and each note sound so perfect, and so masterised. I really would like to hear you piece, on its own =)

[@CUBOSH]

i wonder if the muscle in your right forearm has a permanent indentation from years of resting on the body of the acoustic

[@Lapalways05]

i was like weird ass comment.. until i saw his forearm holy shit lmao

[@SamGriffinGuitar]

dude i actually think it’s permanently discolored

[@simplesleep]

So, uh, when are you releasing a collection of albums with the work you've done on this channel? With a CD and bonus DVD with these KZbin videos? Because I'd fucking buy it day one. Just sayin'!

[@chris123chris82]

The wait list to have a guitar made by Evan is around 5-6 years right now… Soo sad

[@marscoriad213]

This is SGs best video

[@colinderue8095]

Too bad this will be the only place anyone hears this song ever again.

[@jorroj]

is this a threat

[@asterisk606]

It's a shame because FF13 Lightning Returns was meant to be played over and over. After beating it the first time tons of mechanics get added for the following playthrough.

[@Kelty0656]

6 min ! nice !

[@jerictorres3552]

this feels like eating warm bread i like it Can you do [Steam Gardens - Super Mario Odyssey] ! that would be sick !

[@MTH-wc5pt]

Try dark cloud 2 , many good song there

[@ajarthur99]

How do you do harmonics while you flick? DANG, this was good.

[@derkth3793]

very nice, check dmc rungran it-s a 3 guitar composition flamenco shit, sounds nice,i would buy the tabs tbh

[@J-FG-84]

Underrated game, but your talent is cleary not. Thanks for your music Sam.

[@TheHighrailer]

I N C R E Í B L E .

[@MHTYofficial]

SAM WHERE IS YOUR CONTACT INFO?

[@keatonlynn]

How is it possible that you shave your mullet and yet still grow more powerful?

[@mitchellmckay5448]

Korok Forest from that old game Zelda Breath of the Wild

[@TheGeniuschrist]

I miss the mullet.

[@ijustwannaseethevide]

I always admire your work Sam. I'm here to make a request, do you think you can cover Calm Lands the piano version from FFX? Edit: Actually, can I make another request: Starlit Waltz from FFXV is also an awesome song.

[@colinderue8095]

Sam, I know you fuckin' stole that thumb from a wizard for its magical musical prowess powers.

[@annoyinger2001]

first

[@Jurbles]

No me

[@Cunnysmythe]

Sounds like a Zelda theme in parts

[@thecolinday8158]

the one person who downvoted this can catch these fists

[@misterturkturkle]

Fake.

[@dionariestanto9286]

This video sucks... I can't like it twice :(
