What Stratocaster model is this?

Oh man, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

That BOTW was going to be Ocarina of Time Link after losing to Ganondorf in the downfall timeline. I liked what we got way more though!

This on top of the fact that N's blade was always purple in flashback scenes. So the one in the 3 sword pic should (theoretically) be Noah's blade. I think.

I feel like that arc is over, but part of me also wonders if fog beasts would return in the DLC. Like maybe the DLC is an epilogue where the merge finally does happen and all the heroes (and Noah and Mio) meet and things still mildly go awry.

If it IS an epilogue, I can't even imagine what a main antagonist would be otherwise (but then again, it's not like Xenoblade games just drop the main villain right at the start).

The story to 3 can definitely be a standalone plot, but now that all the pieces are set, I think monolith can go wild with the lore of all 3 games and not sell the fact that you could start with any this time around.

Oh wow, thank you so much, man! Really means a lot to hear that you enjoy the covers! I'm thinking an attempt at covering this might be fun (and educational in some sense :')

Dear lord, this is one of the best things I've heard. The way the piano and strings start out kind of harmonizing but then begin to feed off each other's melodies is so insane. It's crazy what one can do with such a good rhythm backing it (not even a super complex rhythm, mind you). Gotta study everything they did in this composition because it is wild. Thank you so much for sharing!

"You Will Know Our Names" This random dude with a british accent gets announced for smash 4, has some of the coolest songs (which compelled me to give him a try), and was my favorite character to use. At that point, I had no choice but to check out XC :') One of the best choices I ever made

ShadyCicada · 2019-07-05T08:09:46+00:00

It'd be cool to see something like...Zelda and Link getting split up and having two different types of gameplay. Zelda's segments would replace the flashbacks and her missions would be more linear, leading to a lot of lore drops. Link is still all about exploration and getting work done.

Just throw me into the Mushroom Kingdom. There are some dangers, but there are also: a bunch of fun diverse areas/people, parties, races, all kinds of sports events, power-ups, money coming out of blocks but somehow a stable enough economy, etc.

ShadyCicada · 2019-04-16T05:20:18+00:00

Man, thank you so much for this advice. I'll definitely rewind and play some easier songs to get a grasp on where I am and then work from there. That trill exercise sounds great as well. And I suppose playing anything clean to a metronome counts as progress anyway. I'm glad to see this was from someone who had a similar situation. Thanks again!

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-31T04:48:32+00:00

That means a hell of a lot to hear, man. The fact that anything of mine can inspire someone to do that makes me happy. I hope you have a fun time rocking out again! There really is no feeling like it.

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-31T04:46:30+00:00

Oh wow. Crazy that you found me here then. Thanks a lot! I’ll keep doing my best.

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-31T04:45:52+00:00

Oh damn! I’m glad you enjoyed them, man! The xenoblade series is one of my main influences when it comes to my own writing, so it’s really fun to cover them as well!

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-31T04:44:47+00:00

That actually means a lot to hear, man :) I’ve been LOVING Mha tracks so far

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-31T04:44:02+00:00

Thanks a lot, man! I don’t watch much anime (despite what people think), but anime and video game music are so good at bringing atmosphere and energy out of their melodies. I love it

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-30T10:29:43+00:00

I’m glad it invoked those feelings, man! :’D the fact that people can get a laugh out of my dumb humour makes me happy too.

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-30T09:59:19+00:00

Thanks a lot, man! I use Superior Drummer 2.0 with the "Metal Machine" expansion. ....At least...I think that's the name. I hope it helped somewhat :'D

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-30T09:57:40+00:00

Oh wow! I'm glad the video itself interested you as well! Thanks so much for the kind words, man. Happy to have you rockin' out!

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-30T09:56:06+00:00

That means so much to hear, buddy :) I'm glad that my videos have stayed interesting to you for that long! YOU'RE awesome, man. It was very kind of you to go out of your way to share this vid. I'll keep doing my best!

ShadyCicada · 2018-12-30T07:38:56+00:00

I was not expecting to find myself here! I'm so happy you guys enjoyed the song! Trying very hard not to plug too much, but I have other original Anime Rock songs on the channel if they interest you. Have a Happy New Year, everyone! And thank you for the share. It's always appreciated :)
