  • Zelda's Gerudo Valley Theme is a flawless example of Spanish guitar. Written by Koji Kondo for Ocarina Of Time back in 1998. I remember playing this game for hours, on a quest to defeat the evil Ganondorf. In this video I'll break down the music using music theory. Andalusian idioms, Rasgueado strumming, scales, theme and variations, modes, chords and keys. Get the full unedited lesson, transcription, tab and guitar pro file at my patreon page below. That’s where I break down 4 key strategies to master this work of art. Right now you can join for FREE and get access to all my tabs and courses muhahaha

      Thanks for doing a song from Ocarina of Time, it's my favorite Zelda game. I only have one tattoo and it's the triforce. Maybe you could do a metal cover of the church theme from a link to the past, all time best Zelda song. Thanks and taste the beast!!! 666 420 69

    I was never a Zelda fan, until my neighbor brought Ocarina of Time over to my house back in the day. Gerudo Valley and this theme with the horse riding and archery were the first things I saw in this game, and I WAS HOOKED after that. Come Christmas 1998, I got Ocarina of Time and my life changed. Ocarina of Time to me, is a near perfect video game, and Ill go to my grave saying that Gerudo Valley's music is one of the greatest songs in video game history.

    I don't know alot of music theory but watching this video make me appreciate this song even more and I already love it. I remember going in gerrudo just to listen to the music and dive in the river after a while😂 I always liked the flamenco vibe😊. Seeing the theory behind it and how the composer build it is very cool Koji kondo is a genius even if it's not complex the ways everything works together and sound is amazing. he created alot of music for nintendo, including the super mario theme, and they are some bangers in there😄

    This is an absolute beautiful piece, I was so busy plying the game years ago I never really appreciated it like this. As a Kid 8 years old my first guitar and lessons for many years was learning Flamenco and Spanish Guitar from some local teachers and Luthiers " Pimentel & Sons" in NM , I had one custom made for me in 1992 and I have my Grandfathers Concert guitar from them as well, still have it. This truly makes you appreciate the culture and and Nylon string Classical Guitar. Thanks for this detailed lesson, well done sir! I signed up on your Patreon as well!

  • @gandalf8216
    @gandalf8216 4 місяці тому

    For the rhythmic section (the 2-2-2, 2-3-2, 1-0-0, 1-2-1 part), I recommend a simple index or flipper finger strum, in groups of four D-U-D-U strums timed in fours. Brush the strings with your finger, and avoid hitting them with your nails. I have no idea what the technique is called, but when I try to play flamenco pieces I find it easier to find proper positioning for those emphasized hard picking of other notes using the Rasgueado technique. The Gerudo Valley theme is great for practicing five semitone stretches near the head, plus the timing of fingering notes - but it's heavy on the strumming and picking techniques, and that can be a hurdle for beginners. Just get that 2-2-2 -> 2-3-2 -> 1-0-0 -> 1-2-1 progression flowing and rolling first, using just the one finger, and you can expand upon it using the Rasgueado technique once you get the flow. Use a looper if you can for that rhythm, and you have your metronome for it! Makes the rest of the song a piece of cake with it looping in the background.

    There are two musical characters in Legend of Zelda Wind Waker for GameCube (one plays the harp, one plays the violin). Their songs are so unique, maybe review?
    The score on that game is one of my favorites in my opinion (even has a flamenco song too for Dragonroost Island).
