I love how the song combines Jazz, Rock and hip hop elements to portray the 3 characters personalities
Micheal actually is into Rock, and rock n roll, while Trevor is into Punk Rock. You're right about Franklin liking Hip Hop though
@@user-s8gma48zzl34 not what they like, just what music type fits with their personality
@@mikeyb.0121 So Trevor is jazz? unpredictable
@@RK-lq2ud Trever is Rock, Franklin is Hip-Hop, Micheal is Jazz.

That bass hits so deep it may unearth unresolved issues with my parents.
⛏️⛏️⛏️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
fuck man the bassline is so hot in this song
Bro.
So accurate.
Haha xd
I never thought that a contrabass clarinet combined with a bass guitar would make such a powerful baseline.
Yes, I play contrabass clarinet I love it!
A weird & bass-y combo tbh 👏
Luke PICKMAN PLS GET A TUBA
@@InstrumentManiac We need GTA 2 Theme
The clarinet gives it almost a fuzz effect, which makes sense because both square waves(fuzz) and clarinets resonate only every other harmonic.

This feels like an improved 2024 version of GTA V's Theme as if it came out this year.
dont give rockstar any ideas
I was just about to say, this feels slightly better produced in just about every way to my untrained ear.
@@BigMan7o0 same with the gta 4 one he did, it's so crispy and clean and clear vs anything in the game itself
the overall production is warmer, more organic, has more space, air, and reverb, and therefore, sounds more "wet"
the original sounds a bit... dry, sterile, and too "sharp" sounding.
Again
Okay I'm not seeing anyone talking about it but it needs to be said: the editing, camerawork, and overall cinematography is so clean. I can't get enough. I think a lot of it comes down to the lighting. So crisp
exactly what i was looking for
you listen...i dont think you listen i think you watch
Bro better be ready as soon as GTA 6 comes out.
Lol clearing my calendar that month 😂
@@InstrumentManiacYessir! 😂💪🏽
@@InstrumentManiac But which year 😂
Better wait another decade.
@@DevashishGulati 2025 boy, we getting the game in a few months
Its like I'm hearing this song for the first time, you add so much richness, its a treat to the years.
Thank you!
It's*
@@JorgetePanete loser
@@JorgetePanete shhhhhh
dude the theremin!? Nothing but respect, even if you're just playing a basic line on the theremin, it's still somewhat impressive.
I agree! Such a complex instrument. 😩
Theremind phyci sland
Playing anything consistently on a theremin is impressive
Astonishingly good!!!! I cannot believe how quickly you are so pitch tight on the theremin. This sparks MUCH joy!!!!
Wow thank you Jerry for such generosity! I’m so happy that these instrumental pieces can bring joy to listen to 😊✨
@@InstrumentManiac ещё какую
we call that a vidéo montage, a good one for sure
Wait wait, are you Jerry Martin who made The Sims 1 soundtracks?
That theremin control is insane! And such great production values overall.
1:12 The flute has a lot of groove, that's what makes this cover unique.
1:35 And that harp!
Groove street for life
You can't escape the “The World Revolving” cover, Luke.
It is truly only a matter of time ⏰
@@InstrumentManiacbut what time 😢

GTA 5 Theme is iconic. This and GTA 4 will always be my favorites.
@ I was talking about the themes
@Markoplayshater It's alright kid, take care :D
@THEROCKJONSONBRUUHH nope, gta 4 is better overall. when you grow up and play it, you'll understand it!
I've always wanted to be a multi instrumentalist ever since i saw this channel. Slowly building that way up with trombone, tenor sax, and a little bit of experience on tuba
Also I love this song, its so jazzy
Same here! It’s surely an adventure to a life of opportunity
That's great to hear - good luck!
@@InstrumentManiac Thank you!
I'd love to be one too but I gotta get a little better at my main instrument first (French horn 🔛🔝‼️) but I've dabbled in bassoon as well because I hate myself
Idk why but seeing him play the song just makes me feel it better and when he does this at 0:17 it just HITS for some reason
Electric Bass
Bar Chimes
Trumpet

Pedal Harp
Ride Cymbal

Thanks❤
Plunger?
I love you.
Yes@@aneekes.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
I'm excited to learn more about some of these instruments I've never seen before! Super awesome!
I expect this to be a vehicle horn modification in GTA 6
they should actually do that, with gta 4, and the SA theme
Bro the flutter tounging at the end be devious
Reminded me of Greg Pattillo
is*
This videos really show how well layered are the GTA soundtracks. Masterpieces carved in the back of my skull, and this guy just vibing to it. Can't wait for GTA VI
Watch me wait 3 Days for this Banger.

Might I be able to borrow the time machine?
what...?? how...???
@@ExoticPotato17 the video was in premiere mode, so itd show up but not be playable yet
bro just played a cheese grader at 0:39
It’s not a cheese grater
@@Pablo-m9b2z r whooosh
As a percussionist i can tell you the ratchet is one of my favorite instruments, next to vibraslap and slapstick in those christmas concerts
Clarinett contrabass

That Contrabute's clear net was like Honk honk. honk honk honk konk
0:34 Fun fact: this instrument is called theremin and you play it by using electromagnetic field!
this CLAPS 👏

Musica nostalgica... principalmente para mim que sempre tive o sonho de ter meu propria GTA 5, mas nunca tive dinheiro para comprar ps3, xbox360 ou um pc que rodasse... e só fui ter em 2023 quando comprei meu notebook para trabalho, realmente, que musica nostalgica...
Me, Franklin, Michael and Trevor gonna be blasting this
How you can even identify all the instruments in these tracks in the first place blows my mind. Your ability to play all of the instruments is certainly impressive, but even just picking them out and going "yes, that high pitched sound right there is clearly the theremin!" ( that instrument he played without touching it, but just moving his hands around near the antenna). Or whenever there's those shaky sounds,you always know the right one for the job. THATS what blows me away most lol. If I had every instrument in the world and could play them greatly, I'd be sitting there just trying re-create that sound on every single instrument one by one, until through trial and error I find the right one lol. I have a feeling you just kinda know it immediately. Thats awesome
Thats crazy! You got the sound of the theme just perfect!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
I listen to this song every now and then, it’s so satisfying watching/hearing every instrument doing its job in your video.
The music direction for GTA V was phenomenal, i’m so glad they went for a classy/jazzy vibe alla Ocean’s 11.
Dang, the smooth operator over going ham here.
Keep up the great work as always!
Fantastic cover sir, all of your work is positively spine-tingling. Just heard Vice City and had to go back thru the catalogue for a nostalgia trip. On another note, GTA V has absolutely had ahold of my soul for 11 years man, no other game has done that to me. All the movie references and car chases, my God... Most would say it's far from the greatest GTA game but the driving physics, vehicles, and single player story are my favorite thus far. Here's to your next upload 🍻 and here's to GTA VI, may it drop during our lifetime 🍻
Theremin was honestly absolutely on point
Just discovered this channel, you're frickin amazing dude!
The theremin covering the melody like that was straight 🔥
Thank you Nico the bass legendddd 👏
I don’t understand how you can make it sound better than the original like that…
1:07 🌻🌻🌻 nice tune 😊
I thought that the main melody was actually played on a synth with a filter that only let's you play the higher frequencies, but it's actually theremin, damn! I can't believe it.
This is genius as always!!! The video is stunning, I've never seen such a satisfying Harp string Vibration!! Keep the good stuff coming, much love!
Hallo im from Indonesia, i enjoy your instrument thankyou.please make your really best
Thank you for your kind words and generosity!
"Hey excuse me homie, can you tell me where Bertolt Beach House is?"
“No homie I cannot”
Actually, yeah. That house right there with the yellow stairs.
@@RafiGames-YTgood lookin out homie, appreciate it
@@manysillyskeletons"Man get your stupid ass on. Damn!"
"Eh excuse me homie, can you tell me how to get to Roberto beach house?"
Sorry homie, I can not. Actually...
actually it's that house over there with the yellow stairs.
@@Cyclonixs”Man would you bring yo stupid ass on? Damn!”
no joke, I've listened to this everyday atleast twice for like 5 days straight
🙏🙏🙏
Mindblowing that he can play all these instruments, Very great job!
I absolutely LOVE the metronome work
Sorry not metronome, theremin still the same thing stands
this dude can say he knows music theory
gta 5 had this really nice indie pop chill wave vibe ✨
Last part was like the God shree Krishna's fluent 🙏🥺🥺 we need more instrumental music on that type ❤
This song perfectly epitomizes the phrase "ah shit, here we go again" that while unspoken by Franklin or any other characters is definitely _felt_ and _expressed_ by all three in their own silently brooding ways. And even felt by the players themselves in a meta sense as they're welcomed back and invited to sit down and relax as they begin their brand new lengthy journey of organized crime. For better or for worse, there's a hell of a life ahead.
You're absolutely great with your art, and also pros to the editor ❤
These 3 themes are the big famous ones right? That Thumbnail looks really nice! I wonder what youre going to add to this theme, since it already is quite complex. I hope this is a stylophone and theremin duo, as i had in San andreas. I wanna see more theremin since its such an interesting Instrument. Much love to all of you reading this and luke of course!
Quality content, subscribed instantly
groovy! always fun to hear the theremin incorporated in arrangements. thanks as always, Luke!
_Theremin?!?!_ Holy shit, you really are the instrument maniac.
👀
Okay we’ve got to jam on the theremin sometime! This arrangement is absolute fire!!
Thanks man!! I still have some practicing to do... learning this took weeeeekssss 😅😂
The mixing 👌👌
Game: "Welcome to Los Santos" to player.
Civilians: "Oh No."
Idk if i should be more impressed by his musical talent or his editing talent
my man doing sounds with hand signs wtf
👋👋👋
Hes using a theramin
@@dracula0tf is a theremin😭 looks complex asf
Went after this to rehear the original version and realised that this hits way different, this’s way clearer and the quality of the instrument sounds more professional, great work 🤟🏼
that flute solo was amazing! great job man :)
This is the most amazing arrangment of any oiece I have seen on TH-cam. And thats saying a lot because I play piano and listen to arrangments of songs all day.
Кавер как всегда просто замечателен!!!!! Спасибо вам огромное Люк!!!!! И ещё, вы как человек, который полностью разбирается в музыке, можете быть со мной не согласны, но если вы будете делать кавер на Another Medium из Undertale, то я предлагаю добавить в него немного нежности, и чуть больше эпичности.😅😅😅😅
🙏❤️
Господи, да как стильно то!)))
спасибо))
You forget a thousand things everyday, make sure this song ain't one of them.
that trumpet is soooo good (and so is everything else)
The thought came to me this morning: "I wonder when luke is gonna use the lower bass strings of a harp". and by some twist in fate, you did just that!
Very nice.
Now we just need Vice City and GTA III! Great video, your skills are quite impressive.
Very excited to hear this cover but,
Luke! I think you should cover the song "An Endless Desert" from Alto's Odyssey! It'd be a great chance to use your ukulele and a lot of the percussion that you don't normally use in covers. It is a great song and is designed really well! I'd love to see its aesthetic on your channel, and I also think it would be fun for you if you covered it! Just a suggestion!
I accidentally came across this video, now I can't stop watching it and the theme from gta 4. Awesome job dude!
The GTA V theme has absolutely nothing on it's predecessors.
that is a sweet use of the theremin, a truly awesome remake !!! the video is pretty dope too, very skilled musician, keep up the good work artist mate !! much love from france !
In order to play really beautiful music, the instruments that the public knows are not enough.
Absolute banger
3 days? Man, I can't wait that long.
OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH . I DOWNLOADED IT HAPPY
MASTER PIECE 🧩 AWESOME BROTHER 👏👏
bro literally became jedi master to make this masterpiece for us
"what instrument do you play?"
"yes."
That's pure skill. Amazing job
Absolutely great adaptation, loved the solo!
Thanks a ton!
The Theremin is killer 🔥
this is so good!!!
i love the way the harp cord vibrates
WHY DOES THIS HIT SO HARD
I don’t know why but this sounds so much better than any other recording of this song
Perfect! Thank you! ❤
I don't know whose more talented on jazz flute... you or Ron Burgundy
He had the gas in his so I do think he wins 🔥
If this was the theme in the loading screen, it would be held in the same regard as GTA 4's theme and San Andreas.
I've watched the premiere and came back about 6 times to watch this (make that 12) It's so satisfying to hear the electric bass and contrabass clarinet combined
I've finished the game twice. And yet I recognize this track quite vaguelly. It's not even close to previous games themes.
Pay attention
@@ispres he means that GTA 5 theme is not as memorable as, for example, San Andreas
imo this is the best track from all gta games, the leat memorable is the vice city one, i cant even remeber it now.
Memory loss @@viniciusaguiar8979
Flute and Theremin in one Song, Mindblowing
Это идеально чувак!
Man, that flute solo was sooo nice ❤
Your production quality, as always is impeccable 😊
I love gta songs!
Bro got the talent I’m lacking: cinematic professional production. I taught myself several instruments to play and record different tracks to upload songs on my channel. But I’ll probably never reach what you’re doin here. Good work mate🫶
Who else thinks they should have an instrumentmaniac radio station in GTA6?
Trying to get in on the GTA 6 ground floor with these covers 📻👀
bass guitar+ picked bass guitar+ sopran flute + open hi_hat makes me vibe!!!
i love it so much
0:06 is that a freaking toilet plunger bruh?
Yes😂
It's a plunger mute
I was about to be so upset when I tried to scroll down to check for a Spotify link and didn't see any, but then saw the song Spotify link sneakily hidden down the very bottom. Very happy I'll be able to listen to your music on my way to Uni. :]
i love moving from a gta iv video with comments full of "gta v could never" to clear proof that gta v _does_
Holy shit that was impressive. I would kill to hear you do a cover of the vice city theme too and maybe add your own flair to it or some improv on it
