Awesome, cheers!!!

Thank you!!

The future is now... 1986's Castlevania! ;-)

Thanks! I tried to channel the feel of the original NES percussion but beef it up on the full kit, fun jam!!

Cheers!!

Thanks! That's always the tough thing on some of these tunes that are so heavily covered, is it just a copy of a copy, is it doing anything? Sometimes I just don't think about everything that's out there and I just decide, I've always wanted to play this one, let me just do it the way I want it to sound in my head! Definitely a foundational vg tune for me, I remember borrowing this game as a kid, being stuck on the 2nd stage for what felt like forever, and finally getting to the 3rd stage and hearing this tune with the heavy blue coloring of the stage, it was like, how crazy is this game?!

Cheers!! The End of Silence through Come in and Burn is my favorite era of the band!

Ah, thanks! I did this one quite awhile ago and my mixing was definitely not there, I definitely gotta do another Hum tune one of these days, such a great band!

Cheers!! Such a cool tune, I don't know if it was definitely influenced by Iron Maiden, but it's perfect for some Iron Maiden worship!

Thanks! Always fun to crack out a 2nd hihat!

Thanks! The actual version of the song on Genesis was already so dialed in to sound like Iron Maiden, really cool track!

Haha, great tune from an underrated game! The full tune is on the channel too!

The bassline is definitely the number one reason why I did this one! I can't believe this one is from 5 years ago, I didn't even have any microphones yet when I did this one. I stitched it together with camera audio!

Ha, thanks! I'm NYC based actually.

Thanks! Great tune, and I was hanging on by the seat of my pants to get those guitar parts recorded!

Thanks! It's so cool the way the two main harmonies fit together, especially the 2nd half of the song, it almost sounds like you're playing it wrong. Brilliant arrangement!

@thesosomusician Hell yeah and as someone who knows little to no theory, it's magical witchcraft to me lol

I know a bit of theory and Koji Kondo compositions are witchcraft, an extremely creative composer!

Glad you dug it, I had a blast finally learning it, classic tune from one of the most classic NES games, cheers!!

@@thesosomusician Thank you for your reply ! If you are interested in the nostalgic game culture of Japan, please subscribe to the my channel !

Np, and this is definitely a song that plays very well on guitar! The low diminished arpeggios in the 2nd half of the song are particularly fun to play, very cool piece!

It's hilarious, I'd caught the Zelda and Super Mario Bros cartoons on The Super Marios Super Show when it was originally on, and I never noticed the excessive Excuuuuse me Princess catch phrasing! There's a montage of it on YT, I highly recommend checking it out! Thanks, I'm experimenting with adding synth bass to beef up the low end of the bass when the bass lines aren't too tough to learn on a keyboard. Blends pretty well if I don't crank the synth too much.

cheers!!

Thanks! I'm having fun doing a few classics here and there!

Ha, thanks! Gotta do some classic tunes every once in awhile! Real fun when I actually learn one, it gives me insights exactly why I like them!

Gotta rep the Zelda!

Cheers!! I was hanging on by the seat of my pants when I tracked this one, it was tough on every instrument!

I was on a win streak myself, but they capped me off at 255!

If Spotify had a more cover friendly set of policies like YT I would upload there. As it is, it's legally grey area that YT allows covers, so I am happy I can upload here with little risk of getting my channel shutdown!

@@thesosomusicianyeah cheers to YT. Youre a great musician, thanks for this masterpiece cover.

Thank you! This tune is awesome and it was a blast to learn it! Glad you enjoyed my version, cheers!!

Cheers!! I definitely wish I had done this one when I was further along in learning how to mix, but this one was a pure blast to track!

Cheers!!

Cheers!! I've been playing drums in bands for about 28ish years, and I started playing guitar at about the same time, but I never played in any bands on guitar. This channel was kind of a way to force me to practice guitar and bass alot more because I always felt I should be able to play those instruments better, and putting it out on the internet definitely forces you to practice harder! I started playing keyboards for the channel too, and learning audio engineering, and it's all super fun! Glad you dug this cover! I'm always trying to put something new out a few times a month, who knows where the ceiling is?!

Cheers!! I was really happy with the guitar amp sound I dialed in on this one!

Thanks! I really enjoyed how this one came together, and I was surprised the 7 string guitar was perfect for it, n64 soundtracks go hard!

Ha, certainly a lack of silence! 😉

Cheers!!

Cheers!! Thanks, I have a blast putting them together and learning more about audio engineering on each one!

Cheers!! Half the fun was figuring out all the not obvious ways to get killed were buried in the game!

@thesosomusician it was a trial and error in death, that's for sure.

Ha, thanks! The intro was kind of like, what if mahavishnu orchestra covered this tune. No worries, keep on jamming, I feel like drummers are under represented in vgmusic covers, definitely need more drumming and less sequencing!

Definitely one of those offbeat games that went a bit under the radar, and seemed like a kids game, but really was a classic Capcom game, and a killer soundtrack to boot!

Cheers sir! For drum stuff, check out my recent Little Nemo and Duck Tales videos, the audio engineering is much better, and I snuck in drum solos to both! Will be checking out your channel after knocking out some chores

The DD3 soundtrack is surprisingly good, I think it's a little underrated because the game quality itself was a little dodgy compare to the first two. This tune is particularly good, with both Egypt tunes and the Italy tune being pretty noteworthy too! The Mummies and Cleopatra at the end were a beast to figure out how to beat before the internet, I've watched some speedruns and almost got angry how easy they are when you know the trick to them!

This one was deceptively tough to learn! That middle 8 measure of tapping runs was tougher than the Title Screen tapping, maniacal stuff! Fun, but maniacal!

I actually fell off In Flames after Clayman, Reroute to Remain didn't connect to me although on a recent revisit, I found it was more the production than the song quality that bothered me. I checked out the 3 newest records and thought they were pretty decent, but I haven't checked out Come Clarity yet. Probably will be a bit before I do another In Flames tune but I gotta check out Come Clarity!

Just checked out Leeches, gotta be good at singing to do that one!!! The solo section in that one is particularly good, cool tune! If I can ever get my vocals ok enough that Leeches is under heavy consideration, this channel would definitely be a major personal success! I'm going to keep grinding, who knows, right!

Ha, it's creeping up slowly! Cheers!!

Cheers!!

This arrangement really got helped because the keyboard I use has patches built into it that are pretty authentic SNES and N64 quality, some of them are really uncanny! Glad you enjoyed, cheers!!

Cheers!!

Cheers! This one was a fun puzzle to put together, it's a masterclass in song composition!

It took me about a month of practice to get it there, really tough phrasing!

Cheers!!
