BanjoGuyOllie - Retro games music covers
Hi,
Hope it's the right place to put this. I just wanted to share this project I'm working on. A few weeks back I decided to start making my own covers of retro games musics, not unlike what Smooth McGroove does, except I'm using... ahem...a banjo! The first couple of video were a bit rough around the edges but I'm getting better at it. I've done 4 so far and 3 more in progress and a huuuge waiting list already. Hope you like them Castlevania https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFNeawDSnOc&list=TLMREy6G4surTPxUsjrfBxeub Lt0_WniCE Wonderboy3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Hk...NTzYn3p-fZ583g Secret of Mana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCRdVpfY-BE&list=TLU8D46XGF4yrqZcZStQNTzYn3p-fZ583g FFVII https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc76trMO7_s&list=TLU8D46XGF4yrqZcZStQNTzYn 3p-fZ583g thanks BanjoGuyOllie |

As a fellow banjo player, I appresh. Awesome job sir.
I always wanted to be able to play something like super mario on the banjo, ever done an arrangement of any video game music for a single banjo (all at once I mean)? |

Latest cover it's a good time to calm things down with a slow and less busy cover. Reflective melancoly is not really the banjo's most confortable teritory but I'd like to think it worked here

enjoying your wonderboy3 arrangement. I like the sound of the room you're in. The percussive hits sound great.
I think the banjo is an excellent medium for Sega Master System/NES music as the arrangements were pretty light on dynamics. Does the banjo play well with different force and pick angle? Most players I hear tend to keep a pretty steady volume. |

Wow, that Monkey Island is excellent! I never could've imagined how well it would translate to banjo, but it sounds completely natural.
