When you first submitted this, I was unable to play it. Now I can actually handle it and man, this is such a cool arrangement. Props to you sir.

@Anonymous 17 years ago

omg it's too advanced for me, but it's such a beautiful song!

@Revolverileo 17 years ago

Nice arrangement! Though I wonder how the beginning part is meant to be played? I'm trying to do it 3 finger tremolo style but can't seem to get a good flow to it no matter what :-(

@BluePhoenix 16 years ago

Revolverileo- do you mean picado? because I don't see a tremolo could work. I just finger pick and it's works fine.

@superdoughboy4 16 years ago

Yes. Finger picking, from what I can tell, is the best way to play the intro. You can also use a traditional pick and do it, but I always stick with finger picking.

@archard 16 years ago

I was thinking it would be really cool if you added some percussion into this arrangement. I find myself doing it regardless when I play it. hmm...

@Jaaja! 16 years ago

Uhh i think the intro is a sweep or something ._.

@Magus 16 years ago

Beatiful song, its kinda advanced for me but with a little practice i would be able to play it.

@Shade 16 years ago

it was my favorite song from the game, too. something about that point in the game gives me this zen feeling i cant find anywhere else

@Shaft Badfinger The Dink 14 years ago

Why the hell is this version the only one that doesn't have 5 stars when it's the only one playing each note?

@ademisk 14 years ago

Is this supposed to be from Armcannon's cover? It sounds just freaking like it.

@auriplane 14 years ago

Er, this arrangement is two years older than that album. Also, it's for solo acoustic guitar. I think the only thing they really have in common is that they're arrangements of the same song, as they sound completely unlike . . . ^-^;

I wouldn't say they sound unlike each other. They're pretty much the same song only one of them, stamen47's, is better. I wish Ashanes version would be posted. His is the best version I've heard.

@pernesto 14 years ago

Man this is totally out of my league. I'll come back after I've trained enough and then I will be doing the ass-kicking

Thanks for this Stamen!!

P/s. anyone has a vid of this being played, do link me!

@Ennea 13 years ago

playing this is like closing your eyes, lean back and just relax

a magnificent bassline ladies and gentleman! free entry, come and see it with your own eyes!

@astral1 12 years ago

if they dont know where this song is from they are lost for words

and yes, its very, very tough. And if you play it too intensely, it even hurt a bit... but the listening to it makes you want to keep it resonate as long as you can <3

@karathrow 12 years ago

I cannot play the first part fast enough, not sure how to finger it to make speedy.

@surreal 12 years ago

I use my index and middle fingers in an alternate motion. Practice dat shit.

Is there a way to reduce that scratching sound when playing the D string this way ? Because of that I'm trying the thumb upstroke/downstroke thing that nate used in his Sonic and DK arrangements :/

@auriplane 12 years ago

Replying to:
@Ennea Is there a way to reduce that scratching sound when playing the D string this way ? Because of that...

Try experimenting with angle. Play parallel to the string, so your finger scrapes over all the windings. Then perpendicular, so it scrapes over none of them. That's the scratching sound you're talking about, yes? If so, then you can control it with angle.

(Maybe someone else can talk about controlling the angle your finger hits the string by shaping nails, but I don't know much about that, if so.)

@SirLancelot 12 years ago

This rocks! Definitely my favorite Chrono Trigger track. (maybe my favorite video game song of all time).
