Video Game Guitar Medley

For those of you who don't know, this medley was constructed of songs voted on by my subscribers. After going through about 2K votes by hand, it came down to the top 7 songs that I've covered in the past and people wanted to see redone in a monster video game medley for my 100th video. I was really surprised how well the top 7 songs were able to mesh together. I have to say that I put the most time into this medley than I ever have in a video. I really hope you guys enjoy the work I put into this one. It really was a double nostalgia trip to do these songs again. Thanks for sticking with me for 100 videos!

Also, new classical guitar! Expect it in many more videos to come! :)

The vagueness of the title "Video Game Guitar Medley" is really what gets me here.  I imagine this conversation taking place...
"So which of FamilyJules7X's videos do you like best?"
"I like his Video Game Guitar Medley!"
"Bro, you're gonna have to be a little more specific."
"Huh?"

[DocTheMedic]

That kirby transition, perfect, and then from zelda into kingdom hearts, so powerful. Best medley ever. Definitely better than the first time around.

[krissyhyrule]

No matter how many years go by, this medley still holds a special place in my video game/musical heart. I can never get enough of this.

[FreddeGreddeMusic]

Haha, funny that we both made video game medleys within the same time period! I have not seen this one until now though. :) It's a good video!

I love how his faces are like he is on a huge concert in a famous metal band, meanwhile he is in his small room playing a super mario song... lmfao.

[KaiRubix]

seriously, all your music is inspiring me to pick my guitar collecting dust in the closet and finally learn how to play it more than doing basic chords.

[zaglamir]

Despite all the other awesomeness you've done over the past 3.5 years... this stands out as your single best arrangement and overall performance. When I introduce other people to you, this is always the one I start with. Just great stuff... still listening to it almost 3 years later.

[MoonLiteWolf]

Omg you played my favorite Metal Gear melody! And you do it better than Video Games Live! Almost had me in tears...

[RansunVanhaKanava]

I watch this like everyday. This is just so awsom.

[walterrainey]

I gotta say, I never before really realized how damn good this is. I regularly find myself humming these songs in this order on a regular basis, at least once a week. This composition is amazing, and so damn well put together. Thanks for putting this together, for you did an exemplary job on it. Again, thanks for bringing this to us all. We love ya man.

[Kvelertaknes]

Lovin' the way you're lip-syncing on Simple and Clean, a true geek <3

[FamilyJulesX]

I'd love to! I'm a big fan of him!

[Teagueykid]

I got goose bumps all over at Simple and clean omg

[lkorn]

The nostalgia that these songs bring, and the way they're played in this video by FamilyJules7X actually bring tears to my eyes.

[dsmithx]

The most impressive part is around 7:03, when you play each signature melody from each of the songs you covered.  That type of ability to combine all 7 minutes of cover into a 30 second recap made me double/triple take.  Very creative.

[LordSoulSicarious]

Years later it still gets me just how well put together the final "solo" is. Just as impressive and impactful as when this first came out.

[macoftheaxe]

I'll admit it, I teared up at Song of Storms and Gerundo Village.

You've got a new subscriber in me.

[jgalla]

Best reprise ever, and the transitions between songs. For some reason this one felt the most emotional of all your medleys.

[Sky.and.strs]

maybe I should put a timestamp here. After all, ive been coming back to this video since grade 5 - so that would be 7 straight years. What a splendid piece. A true memento to my childhood
