So many cover artists get so wrapped up in "making it their own" or recreating perfectly that something is lost along the way. You sir, have managed to capture the magic of this piece. The feelings of wonder and mystery behind the original are brought forth again in your music. Bravo.

Yes it was. It created a distinction in a note that might have otherwise have been lost in musical muddiness, and really made the transition prior worth it. Really good cover.

Fizz Used Splash - LoL Guides/Gameplays/Montages It's actually more comfortable to barre a classical guitar neck, since it's ergonomically made to fit your hand, while electric guitar necks are to thin and unnatural. Well, I guess this only makes sense for us who studied classical.

This cover sounds like it should play whenever Link and Zelda have a touching moment together. Like a quiet boatride, heart-to-heart kinda thing. Really hope the next Zelda game is a direct sequel to BotW and grows more of the characters even further than it already did.
