OverClocked ReMix...

Legendary Wings 'Legendary Strings'

Ok, this is not my style. So it sucks. NO I AM KIDDING!!! AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I can appreciate a style well done, even if it's not my thing. And plus the song is so obviously video-game because of the melodic strenght (as opposed to most of the commercial crap out there today). Nice work on the harmonizing of guitars, nothing too overbearing, nothing screaming "I'm white and I'm angry!" Nice arrangement. Plus there's a B section! Enjoy

I'm certainly not expecting a lot of love from the OCR community since LS is guitar-centric and based on an obscure game.

But thanks all the same :)

Well, you have my applause. This made me bust out Legendary Wings again (not many mixes do that). And this mix has been stuck in my head for awhile (I got it off vgmix).

There is no problem with guitar-centric at all, as the Minibosses have proven. Infact, this sounds like how they might do the song (although some elements of their percussion are a bit more dominant). And Legendary Wings is an excellent NES game, but you're right that people aren't going to grab it up like Final Fantasy or Mega Man. Besides, having a first remix for the song on OCR is a good thing.

My god! DiscoDan can appreciate something he doesn't personally like! I'd never thought I'd see the day (hehe...joking)...

Anyway, this is good shiznit. Never played Legendary Wings, but this sounds a lot like Rize picked up from right where the Minibosses left of and delivered some kickass guitar coverage. Nice job here..

Yes, this was very minibossesque in that I didn't really expound or add much to the original music in the way of composition (though the backup metal chords in the last portion aren't generally heard in the mini-bosses stuff).

My followup remix changes that dramatically though because it isn't based on 8 bit music :) Number 3 (LS being number 2) should be on OCR within a month.

As for number 1... that one wasn't submitted to OCR. Perhaps I'll fix it up and submit it now that I have my rig straightened out.

Rize, Great Job! I've been waiting to hear a Legendary Wings remix, but I wouldn't have expected something as awesome as this! I couldn't even imagine that a guitar could make that (those) piece(s) sound so great. I especially liked the game over part at the end! That was perfect! I look forward to your next remixes!

I originally intended to close with more of the level four music, but it wasn't working out. Then I realized the game over tune fit perfectly with the overall theme!

The guitar in this is outstanding...makes me wanna learn to play this....this has QUICKLY become one of my fav's, and will be for a while. GREAT JOB! :)

It's fun to play! :) Use the NSF to learn the parts. I followed that almost note for note for the dual leads (with a few audible exceptions).

You should note that the low guitar in the "chorus" portion of the first half was played on a D tuned guitar since it wouldn't quite fit on a normal one. I had to drop the entire song an octave because the the high notes in that part went off the end of the neck.
