I just wanted to let you know that my husband and I used this absolutely beautiful rendition of Gerudo Valley for our first dance at our wedding last summer and it was a hit. All of your work that I have thus far heard is beyond stunning and everyone I have introduced to it has enjoyed it as well. Thank you!!
Honestly, this is the cleanest cover of this song I've ever heard, which is saying a lot with how many covers of this song there are out there. Fantastic job.
Zach e Yeah I’ve seen the street one, I don’t rate it as highly as this. The professionalism is off the charts, the street version was too raw sounding for me.
Man, how many lives has Ocarina of Time impacted? It's a game and story that can really change your outlook on games, adventure and just your imigination on implementing things from the game into our everyday life. Just as you did with this song. I can't wait to see how my son thinks of games, stories and his general outlook on life after he experiences OoT. Great cover btw! Loved it.
Jon Hatton I'm playing oot for the first time right now and I can say that if this game was released with the same n64 graphics and game mechanics in 2017 it would still be one of the greatest games ever made. Fuckin 50 hours into the game and there are absolutely 0 flaws in the game.
I have to simply assume that 282 people spontaneously had seizures upon hearing how excellent this was and accidentally smashed their face into the dislike button without ever knowing it... It is the only explanation I can come up with for this to even have any dislikes. Great job!
If I attempted something of this magnitude I'd be stuck in the studio 'til like take 219. xD lol, Good on ya' for gettin' it done and with such style. =]
I am at a loss. If this guy managed to record himself playing one section of instruments of a single song solo and managed to keep in step with JUST that, then that is amazing. I dunno if folks that don’t play an instrument know how difficult that is to accomplish individually. When I played, I always had my other band members to help me keep tempo even if I messed up, since the law of conditional probability dictated that all 4-5 of us wouldn’t mess that up all at the same time. I know usually the baritone, base, or percussion roles would usually be the baseline to keep us all in step, it was all of us together that kept the song from falling apart. The idea that this one guy played each section on his own without anything to keep him in step impresses the hell out of me
I thought the same thing. The way he closes his eyes in the bottom right corner I would assume he is in full concentration mode and there MUST have been several takes. He must have some kind of metronome in front of him. With every melody line recorded the next one is probably a bit easier. Still - Just an amazing achievement.
Love this cover! Like another user said, it's very clean. While I totally get people doing metal or dubstep or whatever versions of this song, I really wanted to hear something that sounded closer to the source. How do you keep a steady rhythm so well without having something to match it with, like a drumbeat in the background?
Wow by far the best cover of this track! Very true to the original! I dislike the orchestral versions of this track is it's not intended for orchestra! The Spanish guitar feel is perfect! Really good job! And great arrangement!
joseph smith Yes, grab your complimentary fanfiction and Insecure 12 year old on the way in. Take a seat at one of our fine tables, with in house entertainment: Internet Trolls! And please leave with our goody bags of self regret and loss of hope for humanity. 😊👍
joseph smith Because people tend to get jealous and leave a dislike. Or that some people way it doesn't sound remotely close to the original. Trust me people hate for no reason
aka DL You should look at the order of his strings! The high E string is at the top, whereas normally it's on the bottom, meaning that he didn't just flip his guitar the other way and string it standard, he strung it inversely.

+diddygt Some people just make it work, Kurt Nilsen, Norwegian artist, winner of world idol does the same, still sounds amasing if you can play it like that.

I am in LOVE! This is absolutely beautiful, thank you! 😍❤️ this was one of my favorite scenes/temples/atmospheres from the game. I don’t know, this song hits me and it’s very...mesmerizing

Wow, congratulations! Thanks so much for letting me know, I'm honoured!
Relationship goals.
You're the best couple ever.
You and your husband are together forevs now, you danced to Zelda
Be happy you and your husband ! :) God bless you
Honestly, this is the cleanest cover of this song I've ever heard, which is saying a lot with how many covers of this song there are out there. Fantastic job.
Thanks very much! :)
I agree 100% i just told my buddy that same thing. There are parts of this that are better than the original.
Holy crap! Hi DSC!
DSC Hey man, love your videos
I agree totally with you, hard to dig and find superb covers like this. Keep up the good work, Tom.
This is one of those game songs that give me chills. Not sure why.
I think because it’s amazing🥺😭😄😊👌👍🔥💚🌸
I know why.
It's like a nostalgia deep in my heart it makes me cry
Laughs in nostalgia
@@cihuacatzin me too
Congrats to everyone that made it here! You found the best version.
I think the best version is the Gerudo Valley 22% slowed down version
Smash ultimate would say otherwise
not best there’s a street version
Zach e Yeah I’ve seen the street one, I don’t rate it as highly as this. The professionalism is off the charts, the street version was too raw sounding for me.
Bro go listen to the flamenco guitar cover and I guarantee your opinion will change.
8 years later and this version is still my favorite. You absolutely rocked this man!

I can't wait to see how my son thinks of games, stories and his general outlook on life after he experiences OoT.
Great cover btw! Loved it.
I literally cried when I was 8 and played this game for the first time. This is a masterpiece, best game ever made.
Yep, my son is playing his own file on the 3ds version now. He is blown away by it, and understands now why his dad has so much Zelda memorabilia.

Luke Skywalker water temple
Dusteeno yeah just played that part. Loved the water temple. Hated the final boss coz it was too damn easy.
I've listened to so many different gerudo valley covers, and this one is easily the best
I also like the accapella version of "Gandalf the Young" how I call him.
But it doesn't have a bass line
Sounds pretty good also at 1.25 speed
top comment here.
Hey, you're right!
I did the same ♥
確かに
At x1.1 speed exactly
Man, that's the best cover from Gerudo Valley's theme I've ever seen.
And with the strings reversed...! Difficult Level: Water Temple. haha
ah another person who struggled with the water temple
Legit my favorite TH-cam video atm
I have to simply assume that 282 people spontaneously had seizures upon hearing how excellent this was and accidentally smashed their face into the dislike button without ever knowing it...

Great job!
You just made me shake when I laughed reading your comment-
Honestly, probably the best rendition that I have heard. It is so true to the original unlike most I have heard. Well done.
Probably my favorite song in all of the Zelda discography.
Gerudo Valley is an amazing song!
Ah, a backwards lefty. Very cool, sounds spot on.
Yea. Playing with the strings in reverse order blew mind.
Hendrix and Cobain, both Leftys, just restrung.
Ryan Mueller Kobain played standard lefty though
@@pattyisfine7198 I dont know this is a woosh or not...
(Fixed a grammatical error)
King Of ducks Honestly me neither
he's in Australia
This is an amazing channel! You deserve wayyyy more than 16k!
5 years later, still the best rendition I've heard.
If I attempted something of this magnitude I'd be stuck in the studio 'til like take 219. xD lol, Good on ya' for gettin' it done and with such style. =]
This cover is simply the definition of art
Left handed guitar player using a right hand guitar and playing that beautiful song clean and perfect. Impressive cudos to you man 😏👌

I think this was the song that made me fall in love with Spanish music as a Kid
Plot twist: this is Japanese music.
@@marcwest4344 it was made by a japanese. But its basically flamenco isnt it
But the plot thickens. This music is for a hot area towards the bottom of the map!
The Japanese love their Spanish Guitar!
Very good :D
***** Que haces aqui tio Slayer jaja D: Deja de aplicar la del partner:3
Whoever composed all those songs on "the legend of zelda, ocarina of time" nintendo 64 is truly a musical genius.
Koji Kondo, he wrote a ton of nintendo tunes and probably %95 of the best ones!

Practice I think now I want a guitar and music lessons
You could have a metronome. Old-school I know but that's What I use and works well to keep a beat
its possible to have a mute metronome down there
Two words:
Inner metronome
神がかってる。クオリティの高さとなつかしさで涙出る。
This bring tears to my eyes. So many memories... Nostalgia hits hard with this one.
This version and miguel and tulio playing on the street are the most satisfying versions i can find of this song.
Definitely one of the best versions of this I've ever heard. Thanks for being awesome!
I absolutely love how you play a right handed guitar as a lefty!
probably the best cover i've heard so far, great job mate!
two years later I stumble on this. best version I have ever heard.
Wow by far the best cover of this track! Very true to the original! I dislike the orchestral versions of this track is it's not intended for orchestra! The Spanish guitar feel is perfect! Really good job! And great arrangement!
brought tears to my eyes remembering all the great memories my brother and i had playing this game 20 years ago when we were 5 and 6. Beautiful
Your covers are amazing man. They're greatly appreciated by Zelda players and fans.
One of the best songs from the game and this cover nails it beautifully.
First video of yours ive seen. Took me 33 seconds until i subscribed :D
NintendoFTW I hope you enjoy the rest of the VGM Acoustic videos! More coming soon :)
NintendoFTW I subscribed after 32 seconds! ;D
@Tom Winter:
Awesome cover, love your music :)
NintendoFTW Why so long? :D
Daniel Svendsen ikr? :D
4 for me
Holy crap! I got goose bumps listening to the original, but got an even greater effect when I heard this! Amazing!
This was awesome! Great job on this. My favorite Zelda song :)
It's definitely up there as one of the best Zelda tracks.
Wow! Absolutely amazing!
For someone who spent hours in Hyrule, this took me right back to the game. Thanks. Great split screen, great arrangement. Well done Major Tom.
I can’t believe I’m watching this 5 years after!!!! Fav Video Game!!! Fav Temple!!!! Fav Song!!! And now Fav Video to watch on TH-cam!!!!!!
Wow, this is one of the best versions of this song I’ve heard so far 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 kudos, my fellow left-handed friend! My regards from México 🇲🇽
Coming here to agree with several other commenter years later- this is clean, cool, and not trying hard to play. Perfect!
I will cheer your activity:D
From Japan.
ギター一つでここまで奏でられるんですね…
オーケストラとはまた違った響きで素敵です
素敵な音楽ありがとうございます！
how does this even have dislikes
joseph smith Yes, grab your complimentary fanfiction and Insecure 12 year old on the way in. Take a seat at one of our fine tables, with in house entertainment: Internet Trolls! And please leave with our goody bags of self regret and loss of hope for humanity. 😊👍
Geeked in the Face yeah, that's pretty much what's on the table...
ppl will dislike literally anything
Its a good song, but I left a dislike because of the terrible UI decisions.
joseph smith Because people tend to get jealous and leave a dislike. Or that some people way it doesn't sound remotely close to the original. Trust me people hate for no reason
This was just awesome!
Really cool man. SERIOUSLY.
Play songs of storms with this same ideia, alot of ambients, omg i can't wait for this!!!
I'm so glad this is on TH-cam music now
Dunno how I ended up here but I don't regret it, awesome job man!
I never heard a gerudo cover, which sounds better than the original! Good job, dude!
Likeed, subbed, added to my "favorite" playlists. Well done!
2020 and this is still the best version on youtube!
Very clean and smooth. Most covers of this song are really 'abrasive' and lack finesse, but this is silky.
I guess you could say they got their... just deserts. Sorry, that was terrible.
Amazing song! Every Zelda fan out there will be pleased with this cover!
Are you playing inversely? That's damn impressive!
holy shit i noticed.
props to you man 👏👏👏👍👌 good shit
@@flort443 left power!
hes not playing inversely if he is left handed!
aka DL You should look at the order of his strings! The high E string is at the top, whereas normally it's on the bottom, meaning that he didn't just flip his guitar the other way and string it standard, he strung it inversely.
@@jaxryz_380 Oh, only noticed it right now! Thanks for pointing out.

I just love this melody
Is that a left handed guitar or are you just playing upside down? Either way, badass cover bro, much props.
+Alexander White Thanks! I'm playing a right-handed guitar upside-down.
+Tom Winter Props to you Mr. Paul McCartney, I tried playing that way since I'm lefty and don't feel up to restringing and I was taught righty
+Tom Winter you are basically going wjat i called the Hendrix sdtyle X) like it!!
+Tom Winter
I imagine playing a left-handed guitar upside-down would feel weird to me.
Can you play a left-handed guitar right-side up as well?
+diddygt Some people just make it work, Kurt Nilsen, Norwegian artist, winner of world idol does the same, still sounds amasing if you can play it like that.
Ahhh the memories.
Im learning guitar JUST so i can learn this song lol
And of course most video game music :D

Did you ever learn guitar well enough to play this?
@@daruddock yeah indeed
Ahh. The hendrix flip. Hurts my eyes just to watch lol. Great cover.
never played a single zelda game but this slaps
You should. One of the best game ever
@@yeyayoye ur right
amazing tune !! I can't stop playing nice work man
this is realy fantastic!
Tom Winter, legendary hero of acoustics!
I like how you play the guitar upside down :) haha
He playing with the left hand but ye didn't change the strings right to left ... This is incredible man 😘
Used this CHILL track in our new Wario Prank Calls (Ganondorf) video, thanks Tom! Really good vibes. Love the percussion on the guitar.
You need more views!
This cover literally made me shiver at how awesome it was!
*Asmr Gerudo Valley*
*Liked Subscribed And Complimented!*
Not as mad as the street version I saw but, the cleanness is amazing. Different styles are always a welcome change. Love it!
C'est le Paradis pour nos oreilles
Tout Court.
The guitar's sound is so good! Excelent work!
2019 anyone??
One of the best gerudo valley covers
that was awesome. keep up the skills my man!
Its dangerous to go alone. Take this
There are a few of these on youtube, but I feel like this is the best one. Well done.
*Urge to save Hyrule for the 999th time intensifies*
This is f*****g amazing! Great job, man!
Are you using a right handed guitar as a lefty?
I sure am.
That's what I thought too! Jimmi Hendrix and dick dale do the same thing.
Tom Winter what kind guitar anf string do you use...?
I felt like I was walking through Garuda valley avoiding those things that jump at you this entire video. Nice
I just said to my alexa "play gerudo valley acoustic" and she played me this exact song/ cover
The more I watch this the more I realize how brilliant it is. Amazing job!
Nintendo songs are just built different.
Really awesome ! nice work :D
veri naice
thunc yoo
Great stuff! Keep up the great work :-)
Awesome,
Are you a flamenco guitarist?💃
Thanks! No, but I am a flamingo guitarist.
lol..I'm just trying to imagine that, a flamingo playing guitar.
And a Trex on the drums!
I've heard that some Beagles can play a mad bugle.
you are so amazing ! thank you for your patience for learning this! amazing!
Could it be? Are you by any chance, left-handed?
I am in LOVE! This is absolutely beautiful, thank you! 😍❤️ this was one of my favorite scenes/temples/atmospheres from the game. I don’t know, this song hits me and it’s very...mesmerizing
Set the speed 1.25 from video settings. You're wellcome. :)
can u post it on 1.25 so i dont have to change it constasnly on my playlist
That's pretty much copyright infringement if i'm not mistaken. And Even then, thats pretty much like stealing views.
there should be a 1.15 speed, that'd be nice with this song :P
Rohit Dasgupta what do you mean?
yo chill out
I have to say this is one of the best covers for Gerudo Valley I've heard. Great job, keep up the good work
Hi, where did you get the tabs?, its sounds so perfect
the timing is sooooo precise. fantastic job man
did anyone else realize that he's playing with the strings upside down
jack neal It's a left handed guitar, o think
jack neal Left handed guy on a right handed guitar
It's not upside down. He changed it because he's left handed.
Yes... changed it to "upside down." He's playing Hendrix style.
Hes left handed. that is a left handed guitar
One of my favorite sections of the game. Thank you for this. Absolutely crushed it..
