Stamen47's arrange, thanks lemon for bringing it up some weeks ago. Hardest fingerstyle piece I've fully learned so pardon dem mistakes: only picked up guitar again recently after quite a break. Good excuses et all.
Parts of this are (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Enjoy et cetera.

You should be very proud that

You should be very proud that you attempted this and recorded it! Ive gotta take the time and learn it myself. .. I can't hear you too well and would like to see just you and not the track in the background. Either way... great! I am very pleased ^_^ This is easily one of my favorite tracks from ffx.

sounds super good man, much

sounds super good man, much better than my attempts at it. really glad to see a recording of this great arrangement, and you pulled it off really well.

Your picking fingers seem so

Your picking fingers seem so frantic. Well, both your hands seem quite frantic to keep up with the other.

Play it perfectly slow to get rid of that.

I think that would also solve your right hand anchoring.

Both hands should be on top of their game as opposed to being in a flurry of trying to remember what comes next.

i was under the impression

i was under the impression that you were a master pianist, upload some piano covers!

@fatalfable: From stamen's

@fatalfable: From stamen's tab I changed the string of some notes otherwise it's all pretty playable with practice (took me quite a lot personally just to get it down like this eh). My acoustic can't handle this piece but I want to see how it sounds on a classical or classical/acoustic like a Godin. I plan to rework it properly in the future, and if I do save up for such a guitar I wouldn't mind re-covering it bgm-less. Thanks for the support <:

@lemon: :D glad you liked it, thanks~ With patience you can get it down better than I did though so do consider getting back to it whenever you feel the time is right.

@sur: Partially blame dat adrenaline rush, more sudden moves when that happens and only way I can keep up with the tempo lol.
On a more serious note, developed what I said on IRC (just to be more precise): I can play it properly up to 70~80% tempo, which was approximately my practice speed towards these last days without taking reference of original backing track's tempo (so naturally built it up to that speed). Only tackled it faster afterwards and that's when I indeed did get more frantic while trying to keep up. Ended up skipping the proper way of progressively going from 80% to 100% through multiple steps and did it in one jump, obv bad idea for something a level or two above mine but yeah I wasn't planning on mastering it atm. Needed a break around that time and getting it to this point was already a lot of work which is why I'd wanted to do a good attempt/reference take (even though there was a bit of impatience in the end, I'm satisfied with what I could do so far).

For my playing itself: I'll check at slow tempos if there's bad hand synchronization on my part as I've never had that impression tbh. I can do without the anchoring. Thanks for pointing all of that out + the tips.

@Jac: Someday I shall, myes. If it's piano-solo or has no guitar/bass in the recording then I wouldn't submit it here, will just link you instead.

Well, if you want to post it here, it's not against the rules or anything :-) And people love piano.
