Improvisation on Zelda Themes

[shigiteatime]

This was so much fun to listen to! You added so much charm and style, but still managed to retain the original melodies. I absolutely loved this :) 

[NickTehNewbie]

Great stuff! You should come jam out with other video game musicians at the next MAGFest. magfest.org

[TheDeadraman12]

dude i have alot of respect for u know like this is so amazing ur like imortal!!!!! :)

[EspeonVI]

Dang. I love it when people improvise and think outside the box of what is usually played. This snazzy rendition of these songs stick out big time. Awesome work Michael!

[j0xIWsNt]

You should have over 1 million views..... But seriously, you're amazing. When did you start playing, may I ask?

[zachattacknao]

This is the best Zelda jazz theme I've heard!

[MizzMistery]

japanese, always japanese --'

[xjustamem0ryx]

the chord at the end...my man!

[SurooshX]

Better equipment and OC Remix, please.

[KoopaTroopaGreen]

i see you have chosen the proper side of the force.

[TheSeandog1234]

Wowowowowowow!!!!!!!

[renatodpmesquita]

You should give the guy at the other side of the glass a hug. He can keep up with everything you do. ;D

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@renatodpmesquita haha ;)

[yerjussacupcakeluva]

[8Amaterasu8]

That section at 2:00 mins was amazing

[jesjamcoop]

This is featured at The Legend of Zelda Tavern!

[listos15]

I don't always comment on Youtube videos

But when I do, it is because they are truly mindbogglingly

[starfire139]

:O Zorsy, joshi3joshi and Verdegrand commented on this? If you have them commenting on your stuff, you know you're good.

[cpetersen1610]

I'm baffled as to why this does not have a billion views yet.

[Axeman20]

Awesome vid.

I just wish I could improvise as well on my chosen instrument (bass guitar).

[MsDudin]

How couldn't I immediately sub after hearing this? -3

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@MsDudin Glad you liked it - thanks for subbing! =)

[kilokloX]

ºxº

[So... so.... so... ¡¡¡AMAZING!!!]

I love the Jazzy style ♫

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@kilokloX glad you liked it! I'll do more jazz in the future.

[kilokloX]

YAY!!! =D

[Flareknife]

Incredible! x)

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Flareknife Thank you =)

[docnanomusic]

Holy ever-loving shit. Incredibly jealous of your improv skills, sir.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@docnanomusic It is an honor to hear compliments from you. You have my humble thanks! ^^

[sh1verr]

You are a god among men.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@sh1verr Nay, I am but mortal. ROCK ON!!

[TeenageProgrammer]

If you don't already, you /need/ to submit this stuff to OCRemix.

[sh1verr]

@TeenageProgrammer Seriously, the Doom series of mixes/album was incredible. It's Zelda time!

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@TeenageProgrammer hm, perhaps I should. I'll look into it.

[aririn3]

Holy crap. *subscribes*

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@aririn3 Thanks for subscribing =)

[l3izzare]

WOAH SNAPS! what a beast

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@l3izzare rawr

[Dco023]

it needs more views for sure

[135ellen]

can u plz send me the music sheett???! plzzz to>> gangdongwon3@yahoo.com

and u r awesome!!!

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@135ellen I'm afraid I don't have music sheets for my improvisations. =( I am very busy these days, but if I ever find the time and if there is a lot of demand I'll think about transcribing some sheets.

[DustinNesom]

Wow this has got to be the best IMPROV I have ever heard lol

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@DustinNesom haha thanks, but nah there are many better improvisations out there. There are still many, many things I want to improve on.

[DustinNesom]

@bobblewobblesqueeg That's what makes us musicians keep going! There is always something else to improve on. I love doing ridiculously hard arpeggios with my left hand and things but I want to be able to transition between songs as fluidly as you do! haha

[Imagine1350]

Love the glissando!

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Imagine1350 Thanks, me too! I like glissandos too much, maybe.

[JonathanFBock]

Outstanding, love how you take the themes in a whole new direction and make them your own.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@JonathanFBock Thanks, maybe I'll do more such experiments in the future.

[MrChromatique]

I find it very peculiar that three of my favorite musicians on youtube have commented on this video already! Where are you, Kyle Landry? 

[Zorsy]

@MrChromatique don't worry, he's already subscribed ;)

[Zorsy]

are you chuck norris..?

i don't believe how amazing this is. WHY!?!!?! WHY!?!?!? THIS IS INCEPTION.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Zorsy hahaha, no, if I was chuck norris, I would be able to do impossible things, like play this with my eyelashes. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it - thanks for watching. =)

[daigoro789]

haha - so cool! i was wondering if you were going to attempt some zelda themes at some point - and you totally didn't dissapoint - such a jazzy and fresh feeling!

[Lavashield]

A night on the town in Tunisia by way of Hyrule

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Lavashield haha I have never heard Tunisian music. I'll have to check it out.

[Lavashield]

@bobblewobblesqueeg definitely look up "A Night in Tunisia," an old jazz standard

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Lavashield aha, now that makes more sense. =)

[Lavashield]

@bobblewobblesqueeg an improvisation with that and maybe caravan would be pretty epic...

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Lavashield I love Caravan!

[Westsound191]

Excellent improvisation skills again.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Westsound191 Thanks for watching, as usual. =)

[3llianX]

Superb remix and improvisation skills, I'm flabbergasted! I had to pay attention to recognize the zelda melodies as they are heavily modified but the end result is excellent and very different from any other zelda arrangement or remix I've heard. Amazing job.

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@3llianX Thanks very much!

[Verdegrand]

wow there are no words for this, seriously. please consider getting better recording equipment! this stuff is way too good to be recorded like this.

[lara6683]

@Verdegrand I agree. This is genius!!

[joshi3joshi]

@Verdegrand agreed! amazed

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@Verdegrand Thanks! Yes, I will work on getting some better recording equipment. =)

[Ruinah]

@bobblewobblesqueeg I rather like the camera angle, I think you'd just be better served with some type of external mic situated to get a better sound recording of the piano. That alone would make this video 10x, and it's already pretty awesome to begin with.

[cerebusfx]

Very interesting remix. One of my favorite games!

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

@cerebusfx Thanks! Yeah it's one of my favorites as well. =)
