@@pawankumaryadav387 there is no continuity between any of the games unless theyre direct sequels. IE FF10-2 or FF13-2 for example. If one catches your eye play it. Theyre all good launch points.
Honestly, one of the most memorable soundtracks in the series. It's just so somber and kind of has influences based on what the reactor really symbolizes.
Thorin Bullen true that! I love this guy. I’ve been watching him play for a while, ever since he played medleys with the other gentleman, and he’s always just so into what he’s doing, and it’s beautiful. Keep it up, we love what you do!
Guys if ur a true FF7 fan go ahead an leave some MATERIA in the comments. Give the vid a BUSTER SWORD up. If you subscribe it will be sure to LIMIT BREAK my happiness level : D
I just went through the whole soundtrack, and I think the only one that's suited to solo classical guitar that hasn't been done to death is I Won't Forget
That raw muted repeating low E that you play (at the start, and then multiple times throughout) sounds even better than in the new remake of this song. I love it. Gives me feels.
This is one of my favorote covers of yours! I've listen to it over and over. The repeated crescendo strumming of that one low bass note gives me goosebumps every time!
Glad I'm not the only one that's always read "mako" as "may-ko" I'm glad you chose to cover this one. One of my favorites from the original! Very nice finger work
FF VII in my opinion has one of the most epic soundtracks on the games' world ever, that one is one of many of my favorites. You've approached with such respect and did a pretty good job! Well done friend.
This is INCREDIBLE! I never thought this song could be played this well and sound this good on a guitar. You are a spectacular classical guitar player.
Moar liek MANKO reactor theme, m i rite? Seriously though, tough song to adapt to a singular, analog instrument, but it came out really well; awesome job!
This and anxious heart are two examples of excellent covers. Way better than the originals. I would’ve never even attempted a cover of them since they never really struck me that hard in game. Those two covers make me appreciate the originals more. Sweet job!
I tried to do this not long ago, but the Dynamics at the beginning were really really hard because it needed to sound kinda like an echo, and YOU GOT IT LIKE NOTHING 😍😍 This is why you're a true pro, keep up the good work I love the videos ♥️😁
Masterfully arranged my dude, masterfully. You are honestly one of the greatest acoustic guitar players I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Like Kyle Gass levels of awesome.
Awesome job! Especially the simultaneous melodies at 0:57, which I never figured out how to replicate on solo guitar. I love the new remake soundtrack but I wish they kept that part!!!
Sweet...that really is impressive. He is really powerful on those strings. Gives me a new appreciation for that tune. Then at the end...he drops the bomb! Wow...great job.
I started playing FFVII on ps1 for the trillionth time last week. Made me realise that it's probably not long before humanity is living in a slum underneath a technocratic pizza.
First playthrough I pronounced it in my head as MAYKO. My brother would always laugh when I read shit like that with my prepubescent vocabulary. So much of the humour and depth of the story went over my head back then, but yet made such a lasting emotional impact that rewards revisiting. Amazing arrangement. Well done bro!
That guitar is loaded with materia. Excellent.
That would be a sick sticker to put on a guitar
Yeah, probably Knights of the Round
I think he get 6 slot for the materia
That's a nice *Fire* materia I can sense
Yes! You can see clearly it's got one slot on center. Curently he got "ART" equipped. So much art and feel this guy puts in playing. Awesome job!
When I read "Mako Reactor Theme" I thought, how on earth could he transcribe that to guitar?! Dang man that was so cool!!
I was skeptical, also. Now I walk around barefoot on account of my fucking socks being blown off. 3rd pair this week...sigh...
Damn, his lamps even run on Mako energy!
This makes me want to replay FF7 for like, the 60th time
Well you know what remake is out today...
Original is so good.
zephyrmop when I saw this comment I watched like 3 hours of gameplay of the remake and damnit i think I have to buy it now, there goes my month lol
Can someone please help me, I've never played any ff game tbh, is ff7 a good game to start with? And what other ff games could be played now
@@pawankumaryadav387 there is no continuity between any of the games unless theyre direct sequels.
IE FF10-2 or FF13-2 for example. If one catches your eye play it. Theyre all good launch points.
I really, really appreciate the green lighting you chose. Bathed in Mako is a good look for you brother
Honestly, one of the most memorable soundtracks in the series. It's just so somber and kind of has influences based on what the reactor really symbolizes.
Genuienly one of the sickest things I’ve ever heard. Never stop doing what you do man, always look forward to your videos.
Thorin Bullen true that! I love this guy. I’ve been watching him play for a while, ever since he played medleys with the other gentleman, and he’s always just so into what he’s doing, and it’s beautiful. Keep it up, we love what you do!
He's sick? I hope he gets better soon.
This guy are sick?
Listen to Sithu Aye's Double Helix. They NEED to collaborate, dude!

I’d love to see a reaction to this from Nobuo Uematsu.
Probably manly tears of respect and admiration.
Mowgli G I also would like to see MaximilianDood’s reaction too
I guarantee both Max and NU have watched Sam play.
The 2 people that disliked this are Shinra and Sephiroth
It would also be absolutely incredible if you did something from "The Secret of Mana"
I second that Secret of Mana suggestion.
Ice palace
Prophecy if its Secret of Mana
@@JasonSmith-os6en I feel like that song would be better suited to electric
I just went through the whole soundtrack, and I think the only one that's suited to solo classical guitar that hasn't been done to death is I Won't Forget
Love the Mako Green Lamp colour
That raw muted repeating low E that you play (at the start, and then multiple times throughout) sounds even better than in the new remake of this song.
I love it. Gives me feels.
The Remake OST over-complicated things, losing it's emotional impact, which is why this simple cover sounds more powerful.
Low C! ; )
@@SamGriffinGuitar you playing this in drop c? or c standard
This is one of my favorote covers of yours! I've listen to it over and over. The repeated crescendo strumming of that one low bass note gives me goosebumps every time!
You're on another level man.
Level 7, to be specific.
ライフストリームみたいなライトが楽曲と合ってて
とても素敵です
Whoa. You’re right.
That’s insanely cool.
Glad I'm not the only one that's always read "mako" as "may-ko"
I'm glad you chose to cover this one. One of my favorites from the original! Very nice finger work
You're Literally Giving My FfVii Flashbacks.
FF VII in my opinion has one of the most epic soundtracks on the games' world ever, that one is one of many of my favorites. You've approached with such respect and did a pretty good job! Well done friend.
Never thought I needed something that much in my life
When are we gonna get the moon stage from duck tales?
THE REID shhhhhhh!
@@SamGriffinGuitar hype! I'm not good enough to play it myself
"Special thanks to me." -- Sam Griffin, 2020
That is just amazing!! I could feel your passion.
Literally just hopped off the playstation ... i’m loving this game so far!!
ff7 好きです。この曲choiceするのはマニアックだ！
Duuude, this song fits an acoustic guitar so well and you couldn't have done better with it. This is awesome. 10/10
Nobuo uematsu is an amazing composer, his work on Final Fantasy is what got me to play piano. Thanks for your rendition my friend, it's great stuff.
This is INCREDIBLE! I never thought this song could be played this well and sound this good on a guitar. You are a spectacular classical guitar player.
Amazing. I have no words. I want you to put out the entire FF7 soundtrack like that
I love this song in any version , this is absolutely lovely
Moar liek MANKO reactor theme, m i rite? Seriously though, tough song to adapt to a singular, analog instrument, but it came out really well; awesome job!
え、すごい。完成度半端ない。
That intro leaves my brain filling in all the background orchestra with no effort.
渋い選曲。good choice.
Its so nice to hear this be the cover. So many have done Bombing Mission. This is just incredible.
Too beautiful!
Thanks for saying Mako correctly at the end lol
this is so awesome on multiple levels! never expected to ever listen to a guitar cover of the mako reactor theme. good job!!
Underrated track from the game that you don't usually see covered or remixed by the community. Great job and excellent playing as usual.
one my favorites from FFVII, just dripping with atmosphere, and interestingly it's the official theme song to making spaghettios
The intensity... Pretty sure Sam just keeps getting better
This is both beautiful and ominous, I love it.
Great cover, Sam. I can't think of a better way to commemorate the new release than listening to this version.
Man, incredible arrangement and performance as always! Really shows off your dynamic control!
He must be an Ancient. Playing that guitar as if magic comes from the tips of his fingers. Beautiful!!!
This and anxious heart are two examples of excellent covers. Way better than the originals. I would’ve never even attempted a cover of them since they never really struck me that hard in game. Those two covers make me appreciate the originals more. Sweet job!
I can’t believe how impassioned this is. This is amazing.
At the end you got it. I saw you doing great covers of FFVII, this is one of the most difficult to capture, you really done it
なんだ ただの天才か
I tried to do this not long ago, but the Dynamics at the beginning were really really hard because it needed to sound kinda like an echo, and YOU GOT IT LIKE NOTHING 😍😍 This is why you're a true pro, keep up the good work I love the videos ♥️😁
This is so beyond amazing. I fucking love the arpeggiated section at 1:30. Totally captures the feel of the original.
Thanks for playing the song you requested! You have good taste :)
The slide up part was so sick dude. Well done. Great vid.
My god your fingers strike with such perfect force. Truly impressive.
This is one of your most impressive ones yet.
This is incredible. Never thought this song would work on guitar. You continue to surprise me. 10/10
Sometimes you don't realize how beautiful songs are until you hear someone solo it
Dang dude, you really know how to capture the whole atmosphere into your arrangements
wow, never thought i'd hear this on a solo guitar. Well played sam. Even despite the edting, you might actually be the best guitar player in the world
Not putting Sam down coz he is a beast on guitar, but check out Tommy Emmanuel if you want to see one of the best finger players
Check out Estas Tonne
What do you mean despite the editing!? His editing is great!
@@thejonguy3248 well, my point is, the audio in the video isnt one take, its put together basically
Oh I see.
This song is so heavy man, beautiful rendition!!!
literally chills at the start.
Masterfully arranged my dude, masterfully. You are honestly one of the greatest acoustic guitar players I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. Like Kyle Gass levels of awesome.
I love it when smart covers make you realize things about the original song
ギターだけで再現出来るとか素晴らしい。強弱も絶妙ですね。
Goosebumps when the main melody played! 😱
I could listen to a whole album of these
Awesome job! Especially the simultaneous melodies at 0:57, which I never figured out how to replicate on solo guitar. I love the new remake soundtrack but I wish they kept that part!!!
Sweet...that really is impressive. He is really powerful on those strings. Gives me a new appreciation for that tune. Then at the end...he drops the bomb! Wow...great job.

Well done sir! Makes me appreciate how many layers and tempo changes they're are in this music. 😎👍
Goosebumps. Hauntingly beautiful song.
That comment at the end touched my soul! Mako with a long A! Yes!
The dynamics are on fucking point. It sounds automated. Holy shit.
Just incredible! Makes me feel so nostalgic, I love it!
No way. That was an amazing work. Excellent dynamic
Special thanks to you for requesting this.
Brilliant rendition, really captures the tension beautifully
This guy has got some of those Jenova cells... very cool playing
Perfect song to choose!
That was nuts
Amazing as always... Can't wait for the cover album with the Danster!
Segovia would be proud of the beautiful colours in your arrangement! :) Great playing
Officially re downloading OG ff7 after hearing this God damn beautiful gem!!!! *inserts savage materia*
First playthrough I pronounced it in my head as MAYKO. My brother would always laugh when I read shit like that with my prepubescent vocabulary. So much of the humour and depth of the story went over my head back then, but yet made such a lasting emotional impact that rewards revisiting. Amazing arrangement. Well done bro!
Awesome how you make a so multi instrumented music in just one guitar, great job!
I was so into the cover, but the outro made me sub! Well done.
You're making Nobuo Uematsu proud.
Definitely something worth waking up at 5am for. This is perfect.
This dude is just off the charts amazing! Super props!
One of your best yet! (in my humble opinion xD) Thanks so much for putting in the work and sharing it with us. Happy Easter, Sam.
One of my favorite songs from the game, even better on guitar!
A MIDI sound from the psx age on 1997 now on the Guitar! Awesome👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I must have forgotten how epic this song is.
Nice comp Sam, hope you get the views you deserve riding the remake!
Definitly cleaner than a Mako reactor ! Love it Sam :D
Sick arrangement. I love this theme and you nailed it.
Hit me right in the nostalgia
Absolutely epic. You really do the best job with the FF7 covers!
This is insanely good man keep up the awesome work
Deadly perfect. Aeriths theme next 🙏
This is amazing!!!!!!! You have to do all the songs!!!!!
Thx for recommending SG!! Can't wait to see what else you decide to cover from the remake
