The Faron Woods theme in Twilight Princess is so much cooler than the one in Skyward Sword, this has always been one of my favorite Zelda songs ever, brings back memories of being a 12 year old getting a Wii for christmas and playing Zelda for the first time.
@S00PAMARIO I know my basics when it comes to theory. Just scales and modes for the most part. Being self-taught I had a much less than traditional learning of the guitar.
This isn't just good, this is absolutely fantastic. It captures the atmosphere and the beauty of the original, and adds the heaviness of metal. Awesome!
@Shirobarai Yeah, I have my guitar plugged into my Pod and that goes into my computer via USB. I just record it into my mixing program, which is Mixcraft. :)
I remember watching this years ago as a kid when I replayed the game over and over. This would randomly get stuck in my head for years after and then I forgot for awhile. I just remembered and typed “faron woods metal cover” and I’m so glad I found it again!! Hope you are still playing guitar!
Ok, I can honestly say with every fiber of my being that this is among the very best of any video game song covers I have ever heard. It blew me away, and I cannot stop listening to it. I never in a million years would have thought that someone could do this song in this way, and yet you pulled it off amazingly! Great job! :D
@themouseinator Actually to prepare for this, I have the whole thing previously recorded. When I do it to video, I just record over the track. That way I have already mixed and mastered the track and when I'm done filming, all I have to worry about it video editing. :) So actually I did the Rhythm Guitar (Standing up) and Bass first. I figure I'd do the most physical stuff first and get it out of the way. :)
I've been playing a lot of Twilight Princess again recently, and I can't go through Faron Woods anymore without this amazing cover overriding the actual soundtrack in my mind. Keep up the good work bud.
You can just feel the emotion and effort put into these!! Melancholy yet mysterious but evokes a powerful feeling of calling, a siren's song of power. If only there was a Hero's bloodline...
wow man, WOW!!! This is indeed your best work!! the whole sound and arrangement is perfect, it flows from the very first second to the last as a whole piece. Thumbs-up/fav/congrats/download
This is by far one of your best covers, i love it. The intro to the more heavier style is amazingly well done. I also like the part that you go soft agian and after that heavier agian. Really amazing work! this one goes to my favs.
Wow man, this is really awesome! You did a phenomenal job on the mixing and the overall arrangement is so cool, it sounds quite Opeth-esque :) Your acoustic sounds great and the rhythm tone is fantastic by the way. Keep rocking!
Very very great job with this.... This was already my favorite track from the soundtrack... glad you showed it to the world in an even better way... keep up the great work!!!
@deserteagle421 It takes me pretty much the full week to do one of these. I have a pretty involved life with friends and a full time job so I do a little bit of work on these everyday. I've had a lot of practice so I'm able to do them quicker and better quality, though. My first video took me two weeks to finish. :\
@hyperdrak It didn't take too long, I learned through tabs and stuff where each note is. After that I was able to just figure songs out by ear. I learned the modes through tabs as well.
this was one heck of an good sound.. i really love it.. and i'm have seen all you zelda videos (big fan of the Zelda games).. i can say that i love them all.. you really put metal passion in your work.. nice done and good luck with all your upcoming projects.
@FamilyJules7X Kool, i thought so cuz usually Zelda stuff revolves more around D and A#. I've also learned that me and koji have similar tastes in progresions and keys and stuff. Which could be a reason why i'm such a fan.
@FamilyJules7X Haha yes, my point was that the ones you recorded first were most likely the ones where you were just sitting there, while the ones that were recorded last were the ones where you got into the music and doing the headbanging and stuff, cuz while recording the first parts you don't have all the music there, but in the last ones you record, it would be a lot easier to feel the song, cuz you have more of it recorded at that point. Just a random observation.
Dude, I love your acoustic playing! It sounds really beautifull. Also the metal part sounds really good this time. But, I would like to hear a more heavier bass, if you know what I mean. Like tighter sound (more compressed) and a little bit more attack. Overall: awesome job!
*want with your career, and im sure you will still make some amazing music , thanks for putting these songs up, they all mean alot(i listen to them everyday) peace , Adumb
i just wanna say, i love all your covers, you have great taste in music, and in video games , nice guitars by the way, im an aspiring guitarist as well, and as a musician i must say, your work inspires me, i prefer to play ibanez trems, but you make that schectar sound damn good, anyway, love your work, keep it up man, and i know youll get up to the top, and then..... you can write music for zelda, and when i play it i can be like, hey i saw that guy on youtube!! but i digress, go where you wa
Dude! Great work on this one. It totally keeps the mood of the song and that part of the game, but the heavy sections really add weight to it (pun not intended). The mixing last week wasn't too bad, but it was pretty muddy. But damn, this week's mixing is spot on. I think the only thing I would have done differently is made the distorted leads with a bit more reverb and chorus to sound a little more ambient, at least when they first come in. Once everything comes in it's all good. Excellent!
@FamilyJules7x thanks for the help man, Ohh also I was thinking idk if you played it when u were a kid but I remember the game wave racer having some cool songs you might wanna look into it if you find the time
in my opinion this is epic , and i think i hear more than just guitar and drums , i mean piano or other instrument ( my better headphones are broken so i have listened to it with some cheap shitty headphones ) but i am just saying . also i must say that i think you made a good tempo for it , i think it changes from slow , to medium , to fast , to medium , good , i like it.
Yo Jules this is pretty sweet! Your's is definitely more metally than mine, but I love the tone of your acoustic! I really need to get my own acoustic... Instead of using my dad's. Haha :D
@Kingpin0072001uk However, when someone posts a song from a soundtrack a picture is permissible. The next version will have something to look at, hence "unabridged".
Nice dude! Yours sounds way better than mine (as I said XD) Great job though. But I might suggest when the drums come in, to turn up the volume on your guitar. Like 0:40 - 1:00 the acoustic was a little quiet. Just a suggestion. :)
@FamilyJules7X Hey bud, awesome rendition! I was wondering, are you able to compile and create one of these songs in a 1 day? I'm not talkin figurin out the patterns and learnin the songs, but puttin it all together, like is it a long task to create a video like this and synchronize the guitars and music? thanks I'm thinkin of maybe doin a few video game tunes.
whauu it sounds so cool ! .. man can u give me some advices ? please .. i have a Ibanez Grg270 with a metal zone boss pedal.. can u tell me something to sound better .. i dont know .. something xD

This isn't just good, this is absolutely fantastic. It captures the atmosphere and the beauty of the original, and adds the heaviness of metal. Awesome!
@themouseinator I recorded all the leads at once so the last ones I recorded were at the end. Same with everything else.
One of my favorite Twilight Princess songs.
@Shirobarai Yeah, I have my guitar plugged into my Pod and that goes into my computer via USB. I just record it into my mixing program, which is Mixcraft. :)

I bet you can't wait for Skyward Sword! Just for the soundtrack, looking forward to hearing your metal/rock cover, it'll be awesome!
I find myself coming back to the Twilight Princess OST a lot, and this is def one of the more underrated tracks. Great cover

@xamart2 No, in fact, they are normal dunlop green picks. I've played with the Tenacious D pick before and found it extremely limiting. :\
Wow man, this is really awesome! You did a phenomenal job on the mixing and the overall arrangement is so cool, it sounds quite Opeth-esque :) Your acoustic sounds great and the rhythm tone is fantastic by the way. Keep rocking!
!!!
You are THE boss Jules
Very very great job with this.... This was already my favorite track from the soundtrack... glad you showed it to the world in an even better way... keep up the great work!!!
@TheGreenMissile You can download any of my covers in the description. :)
@PRSSC12 Yeah it's one of my favorite guitars on the market, and it's price is amazing! :)
@zurradra Yup.

I've had a lot of practice so I'm able to do them quicker and better quality, though. My first video took me two weeks to finish. :\
@TCEguitar I sync the video using Premiere Pro.
@kaneorm Pretty much playing notes until I figure it out, I've done it so many times at this point that it's pretty easy for me now. :)
@hyperdrak It didn't take too long, I learned through tabs and stuff where each note is. After that I was able to just figure songs out by ear. I learned the modes through tabs as well.
I knew it would be great even before I started listening to it. Why would I expect less from you? Keep up uploading to great vids!
this was one heck of an good sound.. i really love it.. and i'm have seen all you zelda videos (big fan of the Zelda games).. i can say that i love them all.. you really put metal passion in your work.. nice done and good luck with all your upcoming projects.
@Shirobarai It is indeed a acoustic electric.
God nobody on youtube has ever pulled off that intro on a piano.... guitar version WEEE!!!
God that sounds soooo relaxed. I wanna justr drink some coffee and drift off to sleep... In a word, AWESOME.
Dude, this is so good. I would buy this song in a heart beat.
best cover i've heard from this song
This is the best you've done.
you love to hear such fine playing!
You just made me want to do another playthrough of Twilight Princess
@FamilyJules7X Kool, i thought so cuz usually Zelda stuff revolves more around D and A#. I've also learned that me and koji have similar tastes in progresions and keys and stuff. Which could be a reason why i'm such a fan.
you turn a depressing song into something that is kick ass
Wow. This was a real slap in the face of nostalgia. Ive never heard a guitar version. Thanks for making a vid.
@FamilyJules7X Haha yes, my point was that the ones you recorded first were most likely the ones where you were just sitting there, while the ones that were recorded last were the ones where you got into the music and doing the headbanging and stuff, cuz while recording the first parts you don't have all the music there, but in the last ones you record, it would be a lot easier to feel the song, cuz you have more of it recorded at that point.

Dude please revisit this and make it even proggier. You rule!

@ImAStoneyCrustyDude Yessir it was. :)
*want with your career, and im sure you will still make some amazing music , thanks for putting these songs up, they all mean alot(i listen to them everyday) peace ,

I wasn't expecting this at all!!! Freakin AWESOME!!! Man you rock!!! \m/
@LOZmaster85RB No I hate them, that's why I have an entire wall dedicated to them and 7x is in my UA-cam tag. :p
@FamilyJules7x thanks for the help man, Ohh also I was thinking idk if you played it when u were a kid but I remember the game wave racer having some cool songs you might wanna look into it if you find the time
that was awesome, you just made my day!
YEAH!!!!!!
Amazing dude!!!!
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!
in my opinion this is epic , and i think i hear more than just guitar and drums , i mean piano or other instrument ( my better headphones are broken so i have listened to it with some cheap shitty headphones ) but i am just saying . also i must say that i think you made a good tempo for it , i think it changes from slow , to medium , to fast , to medium , good , i like it.
sounds so relaxing ^^ nice
This rocks, dude. You should make a cover of something from Wind waker though, like Aryll's theme.
@FamilyJules7X Ok thanks!
First 3 seconds I got chills lol
Wow this is freakin sick!!!!!!!
Have the same exact shirt!
Amazing dude!
Yo Jules this is pretty sweet! Your's is definitely more metally than mine, but I love the tone of your acoustic! I really need to get my own acoustic... Instead of using my dad's. Haha :D
wow man this is beautiful
This is awesome! I'm curious as to how well versed you are in theory? Or do you mostly just play what you hear or think will sound well?
Nostalgia
awesome zelda cover, as always :)
@steveincairo Occasionally he does tutorial vids with the tabs for his songs.
Amazing :D I can just picture myself, picking a fight with that parrot cause I didn't pay for the potion haha (:
...your right thumb scares me! lol
but awesome vid! :D I love that tune, its so lovely :)
Nice man keep it up!
Just curious what's your favorite classic game for its music?
@realar You need a video up there, No-ones going to watch a video with no video. The music sounded pretty good though.
this is so fucking epic...
Keep on rocking dude, you rule ^^
@Kingpin0072001uk However, when someone posts a song from a soundtrack a picture is permissible.
The next version will have something to look at, hence "unabridged".
@BlademasterJale I saw the Gerudo Valley one and downloaded that tab so fast I got a nose bleed.
you're so awesome ♥_♥
i wish i could be an awesome guitarrist like yourself :| !
Nice dude! Yours sounds way better than mine (as I said XD) Great job though. But I might suggest when the drums come in, to turn up the volume on your guitar. Like 0:40 - 1:00 the acoustic was a little quiet. Just a suggestion. :)
press: Add to then press favourites and voila
Hey man, thanks for the help. I'm replying on behalf of josh hood.
you have probably gotten this before, sick videos btw, umm how do u like ur electric i was thinkin of getting one just like it?
@FamilyJules7X Hey bud, awesome rendition! I was wondering, are you able to compile and create one of these songs in a 1 day? I'm not talkin figurin out the patterns and learnin the songs, but puttin it all together, like is it a long task to create a video like this and synchronize the guitars and music? thanks I'm thinkin of maybe doin a few video game tunes.
Do you have a website or something with tabs and such, because that would be the icing on the cake.
@themouseinator Oh, and I'd just like to point out that I'm pretty sure I can tell which tracks you recorded first and which ones you recorded last :P
@DarkScienceLord You should get that game. It's awesome!
just noticed I have the same shirt, also fucking amazing cover!
@FamilyJules7X as a follow up question... is that an acoustic-electric guitar then? Or do you have like, a separate microphone for that?
whauu it sounds so cool ! .. man can u give me some advices ? please .. i have a Ibanez Grg270 with a metal zone boss pedal.. can u tell me something to sound better .. i dont know .. something xD
*proceeds to download*
@FamilyJules7X Ahhh. So, you're telling me that I was COMPLETELY wrong? Dang. haha
