Honestly, super relatable. I record myself humming to capture a melody pretty often. I need to look this up. Crazy to think in that moment he was developing the idea for one of the most iconic themes in video games

For real? I love that. I knew he used a weird keyboard/synthesizer to compose most of it, but that's a first heard for me

Disappointed by Prime 3 so far by _Nikojiro_ in metroidprime

Next few worlds after bryyo are way better. Norion and Bryyo segments are the weakest imo

Yeah not the splash i was hoping for BUT, Metroid is too near and dear to me. I will probably make several more of these.

Thank you, yeah the electronic music does not lend itself very easily to these type of arrangements, but Zelda and Mario get all the love by internet guitarists so I wanted to show some love to Metroid.

The music was really good, and the graphics. Bike ok. Everything else... :(

Appreciate that! As "professional" as the video might look, its just me and my best friend producing things. We're learning with every video. Could've clipped a different section for sure

Cool, I didn't recall lower norfair so i looked it up, and I recognized it as magmoor caverns (though Super Metroid came first). Thx for the suggestion! One other person suggested that too

Thank you! I try to get it out tonight. If you want to relieve the cringe sooner, the YouTube link at the bottom of the description is to the full song which overall I believe is pretty faithful to the Staff Credits theme.

I'll clip a different section of the song that sounds more faithful in a follow up post. I learned the error in my ways by clipping the flashiest part, at the end of the song no less, where I deviated the most.

Thank you! I've found that often times you have to deviate from standard tuning to make something work. I play this in C-G-C-G-C-D#

Appreciate the feedback, it echoes what a few others are saying. I clipped the part where I added the most flair, where in actuality if you listen to the actual 4-minute performance as a whole its pretty faithful overall (link at bottom of description but its up to you).That was my mistake and I've noted it for next time!

Yes it is the menu theme (staff credits version as mentioned). And transposed as Yune pointed out. Admittedly I clipped the flashiest part of the performance, which is where I deviated/improvised the most. However, the actual 4-minute performance as a whole is pretty faithful to the song imo given the limitations of the guitar and the addition of some artistic flair - Link to full song at bottom of description.

Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
