Souls of Fire (Guitar Cover) - Dark Souls

- This is my arrangement of "Souls of Fire", the music you hear in the main menu (when you select Load Game, anyway) and character creation screens in Dark Souls, originally composed by Yuji Takenouchi - Yuji himself messaged me to inform me that while Motoi Sakuraba composed the majority of the soundtrack, it was he who composed this piece.
I tried to preserve the qualities of the original harp prelude by arranging it such that as many notes as possible can ring out, with minimal fingering changes. As such, I ended up with a rather odd tuning (Open D#maj9).
Tuning - D# A# D G A# F
(or from high to low, no laughing - F A# G D A# D#)
Capo - Fret 2
TAB - drive.google.c...
I used an GoPro HD Hero 3 to record from both angles - the neck cam footage was recorded afterwards whilst playing along to the prior recording to ensure synchronisation, also explaining why the headstock mounted camera was absent from the other recording angle.
Thanks once again to Brishan Palmer ( / brishanpalmer ) for assisting with the audio recording and mixing, and the bird for squawking at the start.
I cried when I heard this song after defeating Gwyn, I just wanted the game to end, and then at the end of it all I just couldn't believe that it is over, don't be confused with tears of happiness, I was truly sad, Dark Souls is an incredible experience and once it is over, you want to go back...
NG+ forever
Well, the game lore is a cycle, so every time you end it, it'll start over.
Spoilers, idiot ffs
This accurately describes the dark souls experience
exactly that
That's the character creation theme. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I got my hands on a copy 3 days before release and it was one of my fondest memories. It makes me emotional. I love you my sweet wonderful Dark Souls!!
Same here! While DS2 had music like this as well, DS3 lacked it completely.
New Resident Evil Save Room Music I beg to differ, DS2 had very few memorable tracks, Majula, Things Betwixt and Sir Alonne's theme. DS3 had amazing themes

I have to admit I didn't play DS3 yet, but only listened to the soundtrack a few times. Maybe something has slipped me. If you could recommend some track(s) with that soothing, hypnotizing feeling, I would be grateful.
New Resident Evil Save Room Music If you're looking for something that soothing then I'm sorry, only this track and the resident evil save room music is that soothing. There are songs outside gaming that are somewhat soothing, if you're interested I can give you some names.

Thanks for the offer, but I think it's ok, I know plenty outside of gaming as well. I was just interested in your point of view considering the DS3 soundtrack, as I haven't played it (yet).
I think the reason this song is lighter tonally than the rest of the game, is because you are supposed to remember who you are to not become hollow. Its Why it would be in character creation, building an association with your identity
0:39, like gentle droplets of water
No, this is my tears
its like the droplets in the starting area lmao
Hearing this after beating the game for the first time.
+lausenteternidad Going through hell itself, beating all the bosses, dying 500 times...
... then coming back to the menu to hear this... otherworldly experience. This is why the souls games are one of my favorite series.
worth noting that the frequency used is 528 hz or tunned for the A note 444hz, very happy to hear that your version is accurate to the frequency of the sun, PRAISE THE SUN!
The original is so good yet somehow you managed to make something so gorgeous even more beautiful and serene, I can’t comprehend. Good job with this arrangement
Thanks very much, think I got lucky with the reverb turning string noise into something resembling water droplets; I reckon those combined with the harmonics are possibly what give it that feel.
I come back to listen to this video every once and a while. Thanks dude
This video needs more love, this arrangement is beautiful and so clean. Superb work man 😊
Needs more star swipe.
The theme song of my dreams, this is amazing. Thanks for uploading this! "You have done it, you have retrieved the theme song." -Themeseeker Frampt
He totally nailed it man, incredible stuff congratz
Thank you for making this! Great playing and I never thought how well this theme fits to be played with acoustic guitar. You even made the bell sounds! This theme is magical and fits with the settings of the game so well.
yes
awesome, really nice makes me wanna play the god old dark souls again
greetings from germany

Käse Aufschnitt same feeling here.
The best cover i've found, the others are all metal based :T
3 years later and in my opinion there is nothing worse than "metal" covers xD

Check out Isac Saleh's version, it's not metal based
I, Knight Solaire, am currently learning this
No you're not.
MLG-Sama I believe you are blinded by the light, where I am a true follower of the sun, It's quite beautiful you know
Draegoloth Is Gwyn gonna be on Jerry Springer.
If only I could be so grossly incandescent.
Did you learn it bro ?
1. Great cover, very very well played.
2. Thank you for handing me the best tuning I've ever played in! I'm seriously considering buying another acoustic guitar just so I can always have a guitar on that tuning.
Thanks very much! I too fell in love with the tuning, kept my acoustic in it for about 2 weeks after this video was made as it was so much fun to play around with.
Umm this is really old video, but how did you figure out this song?? @@MishaColbourne
one of the best game theme covered, perfect
Still my favorite cover of a video game soundtrack on youtube.
Great arrangement, and I fuckin' burst reading the tuning lmao
This gives me just as much chills as the first time I hit "New Game"
Beautiful!!! I'm gonna add your arrangement to my playlist. Very nicely done!
praise the sun
One of my favorite pieces from the series. I loved the way you represented the bell that occasionally rings very distantly with the harmonic. Great arrangement and performance.
Excellent cover. Perfectly encapsulates that feeling after you've finished the game and realized you just played a masterpiece.
Astonishing, what you can produce on a single instrument. Dark souls is absolutely, hands down, my favorite game of all time, thumbs up!
Thank you for putting reverb on it
That last chord made me moist
The return to the first one 1:49-1:55 is what moistens me
this is truly amazing. you turned one of my favorite themes from dark souls and made it more organic. thank you.
Beautiful. I fucking love this game
Just hearing this makes me wanna start another game. Already beat the game 3 or 4 times at this point. I believe its my favorite game of all time and I've been gaming since 88
The best introduction cover to the Dark Souls I've seen!
It's beautiful
Beautiful.
Beautiful man! just beautiful! im subscribing this fucking awesome! keep up the good work!!!

Great cover!! Really cool you found out Yuji Takenouchi was the composer.
This is great man.
NO, HE SURVIVED!
This is beautiful. Literally tears in my eyes.

Such a delicate theme for such a merciless game! Awesome playing, well done!
You have a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you.
Praise the Sun
Such a calming piece of music, very reminiscent of the typewriter of resident evil 4, amazingly played well done sir!
Миша, только сейчас наткнулся на твой кавер, что тут можно сказать, ты нереально хорош. =)
I watch this about a thousand times a day. Please come to my house and play this for me every morning. I will cook you a nice breakfast.
Awesome sunbro!!
Absolutely beautiful man. I'm so going to learn to play this.
Stay safe and don't you dare go hollow
Praise to you, pal. Amazing.
I can listen to this cover all day! Dare to say I like it better than the original piece.
I loved it
Nicely done.

This is really good man :D
Thanks for playing my music..
Sincerely.
Great job ! Thanks for the tab link to
ver nice wonderfull !!!
It was only a matter of time before someone tried it...If this tuning is the only way to play it easily, no one else will try though. Anyway, your rendition is perfect.
Great job and thanks for posting a tab!
Great work man!
Wow.
feels
Finallyyyyyyy!
This is amazing!!!!
Outstanding cover my man. This is one of those songs in gaming that will forever conjure up memories and the desire to play through the game again just like the FF prelude and the intro music to secret of mana.
You mentioned you've got some issues with your hand ... Is it tendinitis? I had DeQuervein's tendinitis in my left wrist and quit playing for about 4 months before eventually relenting and got surgery. 1000% better now.
Chrono trigger to
I shall stay behind to glare at the sun
Nice
1,600th like, good job on the song! :)
Laughed at the tuning.
It's fairly safe to retune to FA#GDA#D#, only the high E string and the A string need to go up a semitone, and the low E and B down one semitone.
The best
I am taught by this person :O magnificent
Amazing cover, nice work on the tuning n' stuff :D
