Castlevania Symphony of The Night - The Tragic Prince cover

I haaate Medusa heads.
I was originally going to go all violin with this, but I found it didn't do justice to the lead guitar part, so I decided to try it on an actual guitar. I'm by no means a guitarist. I've just known some basics for a couple of years, so this was a huge challenge!
Overall this was lots of fun. Arranging everything was kinda challenging. Lots of stuff going on!
Gotta thank my good friend Ramon for leaving me his guitar, which I used for this. You suck, man. :)

[@user-nd7rg5er5g]

"Oh wow, he's the whole orchestra. OH WOW HE'S THE ENTIRE ENSEMBLE!" Amazing cover of this lovely song!

[@ManuelJBD]

Thank you!

[@CanalNERDSIDE]

Tanto trabalho e tão pouca view... isso é um crime.

[@ManuelJBD]

Obrigado! Eu definitivamente coloquei muito trabalho nisso, mas foi muito divertido! (google translate)

[@vguyver2]

This is closer to the original than any of the recent Konami version of this track. Don't know why, but they keep excluding the guitar solo. For adding that, you have my gratitude as a Castlevania fan.

[@ManuelJBD]

Thank you! I've always loved that solo, so leaving it out was out of the question even though I could barely play it!

[@vguyver2]

ManuelJBD Believe me, it's the effort that counter, and it paid off.

[@ischmidt]

This is the best cover I've ever heard of this song. Somewhere Tak Fujii is shaking his fist that you were able to tune the guitar first.

[@ewenk7]

This might be the greatest version of this I've ever heard.

[@lucaspineda8115]

man wtf this is perfect

[@erikondrums]

Why haven’t this got more views?! It’s by FAR the BEST rendition of Tragic Prince! I did a drum cover of this song not so long ago, but this is by far superior! Cudos!

[@ManuelJBD]

Thanks a lot man!!

[@jucewil]

Creo que es el mejor cover de "The Tragic Prince" que jamás escuché. Muchas gracias por compartir tanto talento. Eres un excelente músico.

[@ManuelJBD]

Muchísimas gracias! :)

[@NinoNeverCry]

Wonderful! Good old days..

[@ADTribalChild]

Michiru Yamane, God blessed her for composing that masterpiece. You done a great job with this cover yourself, ManuelJBD.

[@bobo577]

Started playing this game last month. The amount of times I have played the game, still amazing and well put together, whatever the console.

[@chanclagazer]

Wow cuánto talento, un cover impecable que suena mucho más parecido que los covers de orquestas completas

[@rieJW]

Absolutely adore this cover, you singlehanded overtook the actual Castlevania orchestra vid for me lol

[@IzzacV]

Oh my goodness! Dude this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome job man, I really enjoyed it.

[@1989touareg]

Trabalho Excelente!

[@ManuelJBD]

:D

[@pankochanko]

"I'm by no means a guitarist" *proceeds to completely shred this cover* You rock :) Super talented! Cool that you play violin and cello. I played viola myself for about 15 years.

[@Yagami_Light1992]

Added to my workout music!!!! So dope, keep up the wonderful work! You just earned a sub! Ps. A lil bit late but better late than never!

[@ManuelJBD]

Somebody working out to a cover of mine is probably the most unexpected thing I've heard, thanks and rock on!!

[@Yagami_Light1992]

@@ManuelJBD thank you sir!!!

[@spyroschristoulakis6296]

Why doesn't this have at least 500K views? KZbin sure is strange, man. As a fellow musician, I commend you on your skills. Bravo. The only constructive criticism I should add, is that some bends were slightly off-pitch, but I know the guitar ain't your main instrument so that's all good. Keep up the great work.

[@ManuelJBD]

Thanks man! The criticism is very well appreciated, although I have hardly had time to touch the guitar since this hahah

[@spyroschristoulakis6296]

That is perfectly fine! You could use some Auto-Tune for such bends. It'd be perfectly fine if you did that. I wouldn't consider that "cheating".

[@AllFaceMG]

SOTN rmk with this cover !!! A-W-E-S-O-M-E

[@ManuelJBD]

I'm not worthy hahaha

[@cesartalves]

I have watched about a dozen covers of this song lately and this one made my jaw drop lower than any of the others.

[@Bigyugo]

this sound the damn same, good work man n.n

[@chrobo]

This is awesome. You've got yourself a sub. BTW you should sometime do a cover on some of the Megaman Unlimited tracks. I would say the endless attack track but there all awesome.

[@ManuelJBD]

+The Remakings Great! I LOVE Megaman, especially the X series. I've heard about Megaman Unlimited but never really looked into it. Gonna check it out!

[@chrobo]

ManuelJBD thanks

[@28inhuman]

Awesome work Manuel! SOTN is probably my favorite PS1 game. You definitely did this song justice.

[@homeroz2100]

Awesome dude!

[@ManuelJBD]

+Jose Rivera Thanks man!

[@eduardojmz3970]

Excelent :DDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... wandering ghost maybe XD?

[@legion2261]

[@BiohazardScott]

Just finished the game a few weeks ago to not spoil me the song and man, that was outstanding!
