Shenmue Main theme (on electric guitar)

Postby Peter » Wed Mar 21, 2012 6:17 pm

I know we have a lot of hardcore critics on here, so i am sure there will be some haters, but i like this. There is something...... i dunno.... modern maybe about it? Like it gave me the feeling of something Shenmue being modernised, not that i mean this couldnt have been done 10 years ago, but i love seeing Shenmue pieces taken and performed with different instruments and people also putting something of their own into it. :)

Great technique, maybe the guitar is a little too loud. But pretty cool anyway.

You make me think, the articles you write. Added if in practice, the effect of the good.

You should make a downloadable MP3.

I very like it. It's a new point of view.

Rock on.

We are just lacking a Black Metal version of the main theme now.

That is one ugly guitar. It looks too much like an Ibanez.

I can't really go for the style of his arrangement either, in all honesty. Sounds too much like typical "sincere"-and-maudlin noodler-who-wants-to-be-Vai-or-something stuff, but that's down to my personal preference (and boredom of the guitar) as much as it is cynicism. I think his lines (for example in the introduction) could be more imaginative (to my ear, those little licks felt too familiar to say it's the first time I've seen the video - I would have personally made a brief diversion to a whole-tone scale so as to stay sympathetic to the mood but provide harmonic variation), but regardless, it still functions well in that particular harmonic climate, and in terms of its strength as an arrangement (if that's not too generous a term for the addition of an instrument), it works, and his playing is quite clean.
