I watched this video 14 years ago and it still rocks! I'm sitting here on Christmas night 2021 watching it and thinking back on playing Ace Combat. And I'm 60 years old now! Great cover!
Bogey incoming! Missile lock! Shake him off! Drive! Drive! Target Confirmed! Target Lock! Bagged one! STALL STALL. *Gun hit* Light Damage. Man I miss these good old gaming days.
well the track originally has two guitar leads. i played the higher notes and the pitch shifter created the lower notes, thus creating the desired harmonies in the lead sound. it's a cool feat for single guitarists. the guitar tuning does not really matter as you can change the effect as you wish. i used the 'boss harmonist' pedal
It’s been almost 20 years and for this gen’s for this is that I started to play guitar , this along with the game and all the savage tracks makes me move forward and have this as part of my passions
I'm working on more than 3 videos right now, so it might take a while. I'm not sure if I'll do warning line. I really like that track though, so it's possible.
@crusadingredfox the song itself yes. This video however was shot shortly after my broken finger was healed so I still used an e flat tuning on my guitar and thin strings so I could play painless
I can't believe it's been 14, or technically 13 years since i saw this video, asked the creator for an mp3 version, downloaded it from whatever we used back then. It's still in my music folder on my 6th or 7th PC since then and on my phone. I still listen to it regularly and now even play it to my 3 year old son.
Came from the mashup video with you and nyonyonyonyonyo playing this separated into right and left audio channels respectively. Amazing job. I've had the mashup video in my playlist for years, realized I hadn't subscribed and upvoted this after all that time. Unfortunately nyonyonyonyonyo's video isn't up anymore. Hope you're still doing well after all these years.
I'm currently working on 4 to 5 covers (only one or two will be AC2 songs) the other ones may remain nameless until they are released, which will be rather soon. It's just that I want them to be as good as possible, that's the reason I did not release anything last months, but expect a song in the upcoming days, let's say as a 'filler'. thanks for watching!
Back then when I made the video I was playing in E-flat tuning, due to a hand injury. the strings are a bit slackier, but that made it easier for me. now i got back to play in E standard tuning. as for tabs I'm still working on it to get it as close as possible to the original.
I remember listening to this over and over about 8 or 9 years ago! Still as impressed as I was back then. Awesome work man, brings back a lot of memories :)
For those asking for tabs: No there aren't any, I never did tabs nor will I ever. I use my ears. tabs just devour time I'd prefer putting into new music.
oh man, these tunes never get old! Gotta love this music!!! Everytime i listen to this one and the rest of the AC2 soundtrack makes me wanna play a guitar myself... too bad i have no musical talent what-so-ever
OMG! this brought me back to old times! i wish i could go back though, golden memories. i felt just for one second i was back there, god i miss those times a lot! AC 2 great game, great instrumental music, this is just AWESOME! it made my day!
Gatta love the video. A lot of people cover the soundtracks of the FF series, but not the AC ones. Personally, I'd like Metalltool to cover 'Comona' from AC04 someday. Keep up the good work, guitarman!
dmn, man... i've watched this vid a whole lot of times and i'm impressed everytime i watch it again... This is my favorite AC2 song(and my cells ringtone)... AC2 rocks!!! btw, what are the upcoming vids you're talking about?
Probably Seagull, where this song was debuted. Due to the open ocean terrain, it was extremely tempting to fly above the clouds at high speed picking off the few interceptors that could climb that high before diving down to make high speed passes on the convoy...releasing R1 is sacrilege, yanno?
Had this on repeat for my speed run of AC6 for the 2 hour play through medal. Too bad I got interrupted. I'll have to try gain one of these days, with this still on repeat of course.
If I can work out all of it I will write it out standard EADGBE tab :). In the video the guitar is tuned a semitone down on each string if your trying to work out tab from finger positions.
@lucirz Well, thank you for compliment, but I assure you to be far away from being a pro I'm an intermediate. But I'm working on becoming a pro that's for sure.
Mon tout 1er jeu vidéo, ça m'a fait tout drôle de réécouter ses musique ^^, grosse séquence nostalgie quand même, surtout l'intro qui est et qui restera juste énorme ... Sinon très bonne vidéo :)
This is beautiful, very god damn beautiful. Thank you for playing such a nice piece. I still think Ace Combat 2 has the best soundtrack out of the series. Though I thought Takahashi Kohta composed this (or maybe he just performed it).
do you mean remastered tracks? fully new arranged and recorded? if yes that wouldn't be difficult but it'd take quite some time. and on top of this I'm working on a new cover video since today so i'll do what i can.
there are no tabs! I tried to make some but I suck big time in doing some! well I'll still try. As for my sound I used the boss me-50, but you can do with regular overdrive turned way up :D as well as delay (I used a harmonizer for the dual lead in the song) .. I hope I could help
Sorry, but there are no tabs. I tabbed it myself horrendously once, but I formatted my disc and it's since gone. I'm sorry but I lack the time atm. watch nyonyonyonyonyo's version, it is definitely more simple to see what he plays and it's more acurate than this version, though this one's just a jam.
Very nice work, you've done a really good job specially from learning by ear. Though would be able to perhaps let me know what tuning your using and some of the basic tab structure of this song? I'd really like to know it. Thanks.
@lucirz I'd advise you to buy a simple chord book with all important chords. Also UA-cam has a vast collection of guitar lessons. just search for guitar lesson for beginners or something like this. As for the Tuner, every guitar disciple has to own a tuner, you should buy one, they're not that expensive.
![So it's Ace Combat 2 FIRE YOUNGMAN but it's more like Fire Saxman [Synthwave Cover]](/img/n.gif)
I'm glad so many people enjoy this cover.
I thank you all.
I am still enjoying it 🙃
Great cover
I watched this video 14 years ago and it still rocks! I'm sitting here on Christmas night 2021 watching it and thinking back on playing Ace Combat. And I'm 60 years old now! Great cover!
2021, still here bro :D
OH THIS IS THAT VIDEO I SAW WHEN I WAS STILL KNOWING UA-cam THE FIRST TIME
2019 and I still come back to this video
Bogey incoming! Missile lock! Shake him off! Drive! Drive! Target Confirmed! Target Lock! Bagged one! STALL STALL. *Gun hit* Light Damage. Man I miss these good old gaming days.
BULLSEYE
Ahhh! Good old memories ...
13 years and still excellent
the song you`re looking for is called "Top Gun Anthem". Harold Faltermeyer composed this track and performed it with Steve Stevens.
well the track originally has two guitar leads. i played the higher notes and the pitch shifter created the lower notes, thus creating the desired harmonies in the lead sound. it's a cool feat for single guitarists. the guitar tuning does not really matter as you can change the effect as you wish. i used the 'boss harmonist' pedal
I love this.
The transition from Top Gun to Ace Combat is still perfect :)
It’s been almost 20 years and for this gen’s for this is that I started to play guitar , this along with the game and all the savage tracks makes me move forward and have this as part of my passions
I'm working on more than 3 videos right now, so it might take a while. I'm not sure if I'll do warning line. I really like that track though, so it's possible.
it's been composed by Harold Faltermeyer by the way! And Steve Stevens played the lead guitar part.
@crusadingredfox the song itself yes.
This video however was shot shortly after my broken finger was healed so I still used an e flat tuning on my guitar and thin strings so I could play painless

Dude, that's deep. I feel humbled. Thanks!
@@Metalltool thank you for being a positive part of my own personal history.
Came from the mashup video with you and nyonyonyonyonyo playing this separated into right and left audio channels respectively. Amazing job. I've had the mashup video in my playlist for years, realized I hadn't subscribed and upvoted this after all that time. Unfortunately nyonyonyonyonyo's video isn't up anymore.

That's cool!
That song never fails to amaze me anew, so does the impact it has on so many people!
It definitely is a fight song so you're right.
Easily the best song in the entire series. Awesome job bud.
This and dynapolis
yeah, killer tune!
go for it!
just...awesome!!! Its one entirly diferent thing to hear your favorite videogame piece done with a real guitar.
it's thanks to your video that I remembered the song. I'm glad that someone does enjoy it.
thank you very much!
holy, you rule dude. Keep on rocking.
One of my favourite songs of Ace Combat 2.
keep up the great work
I'm currently working on 4 to 5 covers
(only one or two will be AC2 songs) the other ones may remain nameless until they are released, which will be rather soon.
It's just that I want them to be as good as possible, that's the reason I did not release anything last months, but expect a song in the upcoming days, let's say as a 'filler'.
thanks for watching!
omg.. I'm getting mugasm... And those 6 dislikes definitely gets my nerves... Must be those involved with Grunder Industries..
YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN. To take an amazing song like that and cover it. Wow man, you're my hero now. Ace Combat 2 forever!
Ace Combat 2 was my first PlayStaion game and one of the best titles that I've ever played.
Thank you for bringing me back to such good memories.
Back then when I made the video I was playing in E-flat tuning, due to a hand injury. the strings are a bit slackier, but that made it easier for me. now i got back to play in E standard tuning.
as for tabs I'm still working on it to get it as close as possible to the original.
What a jam...damn...never gets old!
One of my first Favorites in my UA-cam channel... I’m still coming back every now and then since over a Dacade and LOVE IT! Bravo 🤘🏻
HELL YEAH! i'm getting eargasms listening to this great job dude!
man this brings back some good memories from back then,I do hope I can hear more of these played by you
I remember listening to this over and over about 8 or 9 years ago! Still as impressed as I was back then. Awesome work man, brings back a lot of memories :)
one of best ACE COMBAT soundtrack! great cover... you're the man..
Man, you deserve a statue. And this song deserves its rightful place in a Guitar Heroes, or something alike.
Beautiful....just beautiful....
Brings a tear to my eye. God bless the old Namco game....and my favorite song to boot!
Holy shizzles on a dizzlestick wingman, that was quite spectacular.
As far as I know Namco never officially released the Ace Combat 2 soundtrack. I ripped it directly from my game cd with a tool.
Best childhood memory right here this game was!!!!!!
This video is legendary
I cried.. :(
DAMN!! same here!
just great!!! one of my favorite games and what a soundtrack!!! the best ...
i just watched this video like 20 times and never getting tired of it
Holy shit, this is incredible! 10/10 man!
Now THAT was some ace combat guitar playing.
For those asking for tabs:
No there aren't any, I never did tabs nor will I ever.
I use my ears.
tabs just devour time I'd prefer putting into new music.
oh man, these tunes never get old! Gotta love this music!!! Everytime i listen to this one and the rest of the AC2 soundtrack makes me wanna play a guitar myself... too bad i have no musical talent what-so-ever
That´s a nice song, most special when you can see how you perform it
Absolutely fantastic. 10/10
Thats great!
Ace Combat was my very first game on PS1.
And i loved it :D !!!!
énorme mec , je ne m'en lasse pas, très jolie prestation
Nice bend at 2:23! You get it! Some guitarists try play faster than they can manipulate the strings like that! Great technique! True pro!
OMG! this brought me back to old times! i wish i could go back though, golden memories. i felt just for one second i was back there, god i miss those times a lot!
AC 2 great game, great instrumental music, this is just AWESOME! it made my day!
Gatta love the video. A lot of people cover the soundtracks of the FF series, but not the AC ones. Personally, I'd like Metalltool to cover 'Comona' from AC04 someday. Keep up the good work, guitarman!
This is just EPIIIC!, Dude you just made my favourite song even better, nice skills bro! :D
dmn, man... i've watched this vid a whole lot of times and i'm impressed everytime i watch it again... This is my favorite AC2 song(and my cells ringtone)... AC2 rocks!!! btw, what are the upcoming vids you're talking about?
Best soundtracks i ever heard come from this game.
DUDE it is HEAVEN!
15 years...
The fact the phrase "15 years ago ... " its literally a meme in the Ace Combat community make it more hilarious (taken from AC0).
Awesome !
"Enemy Fleet in sight ! Engage !"
"Altitude too low, pull up !"
I love this song from Ace Combat 2, good old times! thanks for sharing it you rocks mate!!
Still listening after so many years.
Probably Seagull, where this song was debuted. Due to the open ocean terrain, it was extremely tempting to fly above the clouds at high speed picking off the few interceptors that could climb that high before diving down to make high speed passes on the convoy...releasing R1 is sacrilege, yanno?

I love this cover
nice one man, awesome tunes, awesome games, awesome playing! :)
Bravo!!!Bravo!!!! You're awsome that was a nice performance!!!
REALLY...VERY GOOD!!!
Man, it's so amazing !!!!
I love this song and the game too ^v^
I gotta try this too ^^
well I ripped the sound from my game cd. don't remember the name of the extractor tool, but there are many out there on google.
Best song of this game !! sick memories !!
that's just amazing! Really makes me wish I could play the gituar! ^_^ 5 stars all the way!
@OOZ662 no, talking about aircombat 1. It's the song on the thrid mission.
Before I had the PS 2, I used to play Ace Combat 2 all the time. A very good game.
If I can work out all of it I will write it out standard EADGBE tab :). In the video the guitar is tuned a semitone down on each string if your trying to work out tab from finger positions.
excellent performance
btw thanks :)
wooohhhh!!
nice!!!!
kick ass track!
THE BEST track in ace combat 2!
Dang bro!
Awesome stuff, I agree, EPIC!
You might as well do a full cover now. What'cha think? You could include Bear Tracks, Sunset Glow and a bunch of others. AC2 has a superb ost.
I'm focusing on different OST's and original tracks these days. Never say never but for the time being...
@lucirz
Well, thank you for compliment, but I assure you to be far away from being a pro I'm an intermediate. But I'm working on becoming a pro that's for sure.

there are no tabs! I tried to make some but I suck big time in doing some! well I'll still try. As for my sound I used the boss me-50, but you can do with regular overdrive turned way up :D as well as delay
(I used a harmonizer for the dual lead in the song) .. I hope I could help
Man! It gets me every time! :D
tu m'as donné envie de me mete a la guitard merci a toi et continu tres belleperformance
@scarynoudlechubby Sitting in front of my game right now; Mission 003 "Intercept" has the song "Head First" playing in the background.
Sorry, but there are no tabs. I tabbed it myself horrendously once, but I formatted my disc and it's since gone.
I'm sorry but I lack the time atm.
watch nyonyonyonyonyo's version, it is definitely more simple to see what he plays and it's more acurate than this version, though this one's just a jam.
Cool work amigo!
"15 years ago i heard this cover for the 1st time"
good video m8 keep it up ^^,
one of my favourites from Ac2 ;)
AMAZING
Very nice work, you've done a really good job specially from learning by ear. Though would be able to perhaps let me know what tuning your using and some of the basic tab structure of this song? I'd really like to know it. Thanks.
awesome man!
@lucirz
I'd advise you to buy a simple chord book with all important chords.
Also UA-cam has a vast collection of guitar lessons. just search for guitar lesson for beginners or something like this. As for the Tuner, every guitar disciple has to own a tuner, you should buy one, they're not that expensive.
You are the MASTER!
Thanks man, I knew that was from top gun, but not what theme..
Thanks
Wonderful!
You rock man, you rock!!!!!
