ZELDA 2 - Final Dungeon & Dark Link Guitar Cover
#zelda #zelda2
Final upload of 2024 is the Final Dungeon. The tunes from Zelda II always had a more haunting effect on me, maybe because the game was so hard. Always loved these two themes. When I'd hear that Final Dungeon theme as a kid I always felt extremely isolated.
This one's got some angry outtakes at the end for some LOLs!

#christmas Just been hearing lots of low effort carols these last few days. Did you know there is a version of "12 Days of Christmas" where they've just changed the lyrics to "my good friends" instead of "my true love" gave to me? And its 12 completely different gifts than the original tune? And they didn't even change the melody or song at all? And the whole performance is so droll, like the s...

I've never really learned the proper way to play some of the parts, so a lot of it is just kind of played my way that I figured out and sounded close enough sonically.

    A moment in life when you get that lump in your throat watching someone nail a song that you love so much. You inspired me to try harder. I first learned of April Wine back in early 1980. I had been playing guitar since I was a wee boy. A school band played I Like To Rock in our gym prepping for our football game. I fell in love with their sound, and then later I got all of their albums. And here, in 2024, I find you rocking out the most beautiful song they ever wrote in my opinion. Thank you so much.

I got grounded for 6 months in 9th grade for skipping school and sipping on grandpa's cough syrup and dad said I could have one thing other than school books to occupy my internment and I was thinking of something cool and he came back with a $50 Sears Roebuck nylon string acoustic and said here is your one thing.

      ​@@alantrail7662that's an awesome story! I was self taught for a few years, and then got a band going and learned a lot more through playing with others and making some mistakes onstage. That definitely got me to practice more seriously to not screw up in front of people. I took a few months of classical lessons and helped mainly with form. Otherwise just play as a hobby for now but hope to be playing onstage again.
