Spira Unplugged (Final Fantasy X) | Classical Guitar Cover

Spira Unplugged / Sight of Spira (Final Fantasy X) acoustic classical guitar cover

Thanks to Dan DiGregorio for the Patreon request! This took me a good bit to tackle, but I'm happy with the result. The crazy measure at 2:03 took me two hours to figure out.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving in the US. Nicole and I are in Panama after the loss of her grandmother Ines. I'd like to dedicate this to her. She was a kind, sweet, and beautiful woman who we will miss dearly.

I didn't think this would sound so full on one guitar, but you happily proved me VERY wrong. Thank you.

[JimmyOnGuitar]

Oh the memories. FFX music stirs up so much nostalgia. And this is amazing!

[Weazel]

How on earth have you made it sound this good with one guitar?! It borders on unacceptable. I am FURIOUS

[LemonadeFlashlight]

I can easily imagine somebody playing this on Besaid Island on a sunny Summer evening.

[ssjauron]

This is excellent! Also love the “Moonflow” in the background.

[Pliskkenn]

Oh man that was lovely. Hope you're not sick of making great covers!

[sharmsong]

Oh wow, those off rhythms, how do you do it? 👏 So much nostalgia from this 💙

[MoisesNieto]

I love this piece so much, your performance is amazing as usual!! 😭👏👏

[ゴッショ]

この曲大好きだから嬉しい！
心が落ち着きますよね。
素晴らしい演奏でした。

[AcousticOST]

I’m sorry to hear about Nicole’s grandmother. This is a beautiful dedication to her

[Neterim]

Recently have been learning it on piano; such a great song. I feel like it encapsulates Tidus's "vibe" pretty well.

Your Endwalker collection has been a blessing during my studies; thank you for sharing your beautiful passion!

[ScottPenick]

Beautifully played, John. Much love for your grandmother-in-law Ines.

I'm impressed you were able to pull off that measure at 2:03! (...I certainly didn't bother to...)

[Fanofstuff]

you should have a few million subscribers with the quality of playing, sound and video, but its all good, in time

[ReavoEnd]

Maaaan this has always been one of my top favorites from FFX. So great to hear it rendered by you.

How long did it take you to figure out that chaotic staccato lick at 2:03??

[Monlifeoficial]

HOME SWET HOME DE FINAL FANTASY XV DLC PROMTO!! MIRA!!

[ninjaquest]

Right! Off to Pateron I go! This is hands down the best arrangement of this piece I've come across. Not sure about the ending, though...

[Osukastairu]

if someone played that in front of me I'd fall in love with them

[bigbirdmusic]

I took a half hour loop of this when i trekked through the north maine woods, with mount katahdin always somewhere in the background. This shot right here reminds me of one of the trails that leads to a lake with katahdin in the background, just like this. Now this song always reminds me of that

Ive been looking for a cover of this for a while, and needless to say you blew all expectations out of the water! Excellent rendition!

[eskimointhisworld]

Wow! That is some amazing playing! I don't play the guitar (I play piano) but i can imagine this piece is difficult. And you play it fantastic!

[MrAbbysses]
