  • Final Fantasy 7 remake acoustic classical guitar cover of the Mako Reactor by Sam Griffin.

    ♫ MY GUITAR was built by Evan Kingma! www.evankingma... --- Upgrade your axe!
    The Final Fantasy 7 ost has long been one of my favorite video game soundtracks. The darkness. The brooding. It has such a unique vibe. Nobuo Uematsu's use of synths along with the traditional strings creates a powerful twisted dystopian soundscape that I've always felt stands out from a lot of other final fantasy soundtracks. I figured, for the remake, I'll put out a couple tunes. This is the first of the set : )
    If you want more video game covers and original compositions on the classical guitar like this one, TABS, and general acoustic remix shredding, this is the place spot for all your video game guitar covers needs. Smack a sub. Smack a bell. Smack yourself.
