Rattle Battle (Snakey Chanty) DKC2 on Violin

[PlunderPiano]

Hmm, this song is also in DKC1, isn't it? I think I've heard something similiar (?) when fighting the last boss on the ship! :O

Anyway, it's probably one of the cheeriest songs in the whole game (which is not that hard since the game itself is pretty gloomy) and you perfectly caught the spirit in my opinion! Great job! :)

I'd be really happy to hear more DKC2 covers from you, and not a specific song, I like any in that game! :')

[ssjup81]

Wow, how did I miss this video upload? Great cover!

[h3ptagrama]

love it.

[Icipher7]

I demand more DKC2 tunes!

[JTehAnonymous]

@Icipher7 Your wish will be granted...in a matter of time.

I could point you in the direction of older covers I've done of DKC2 in the meantime. I've already covered The Map Theme and Stickerbrush Symphony. :)

[acuity1980]

ooooh the memories =)

thanks for this ^^

btw.. my laptop is up and running again. Now i only have to find sheet music for that one song

[JTehAnonymous]

@acuity1980 I'll go ahead and send you the sheets that I found. :)

[acuity1980]

@JTehAnonymous oh now that is convinient xD too bad i am at work and cant start recording right away xD

[JTehAnonymous]

@acuity1980 Hahahaha. Take your time. :)

[2andaHalfStooges]

Is that a Wii remote without batteries over your shoulder?

[JTehAnonymous]

@2andaHalfStooges It sure is. xD

[Valo778]

This was amazing.

Could you do something from Skyward Sword? Maybe the music from when Impa and Ghirahim fight... But I think you'd have to learn that by ear. Would be cool if you did it, though.

[JTehAnonymous]

@Valo778 I'm currently working on a duet from a certain theme from Skyward Sword. :) That should be ready within a week. :D

[pcmseth]

NICE!!!, play shenna theme of tales of symphonia ,please

[doublehandproduction]

Good job! That was awesome! Um..... do you think I could ret something? if I can, do you think you could play N's farwell theme from the end of pokemon black and white?

[geetarxist]

nice

[MaesterTed]

F yeah man! You totally nailed it!!

>:B

[jugglinguy]

[JTehAnonymous]

@jugglinguy Thanks Jem, you're really cool.

[xxxMasterPro]

Great job, John. This song doesn't look too hard, I might practice this one myself soon too. :D

I would've watched this vid earlier, but with my computer's firewall failing, the virus infections, everything... bleh.

tl;dr, nice vid

[JTehAnonymous]

@xxxMasterPro Thanks! You should give it a try, it's really fun!

[WeatherShine]

Cool glasses

[TheArticAlchemist]

I love this so much...

[Nanook128]

Your videos are a wonderful blast of nostalgia wrapped up in one of the best musical instruments mankind has made. :)

[synchronizerman]

I think you should try performing a cover of the Super Mario 64 Credits theme. It might turn out exceedingly well! Oh, and the audio levels of the background music were much better this time :D

[JTehAnonymous]

@synchronizerman There's an interesting idea...hmm...

:D Before I published this one, I thought about what you said last time. I messed around for a little while and then thought this was a better balance. Do you think the background track should be even louder or is this okay now?

[synchronizerman]

@JTehAnonymous The violin could be a little bit more balanced but it's much better this time. Every song is going to require different audio settings. Perhaps the best procedure is to listen to the original songs, and attempt to recreate the audio levels of the lead instrument and accompaniment in your covers. Just make sure not to cause clipping. This was a very nice cover by the way. Wonderful :)

[Johnylogic16]

Are you sight reading when you play?

[JTehAnonymous]

@Johnylogic16 Nooooo way. There's no way I could sightread that. Took at least an hour to figure out how I'd play everything.

[Johnylogic16]

@JTehAnonymous ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok. Well, I love your covers. Don't stop, ever.

[SinisterDirector]

I didn't think it was possible for an ear to get an erection until I heard this. Thank you so much :D I am leaking nostalgia.

[JTehAnonymous]

@SinisterDirector Hahaha wow this comment! XD That made me smile. Thank you!

[EatsRainbows523]

[JTehAnonymous]

@ZapperBrain Thanks! :))))))

[notshortEdwardElric]

GAAAH I wish my Super Nintendo still worked!! I would give anything to be able to play this game again!!!

[JTehAnonymous]

@notshortEdwardElric D: Aw darn, that's rotten. Well, you could always emulate it, but it isn't the same. Luckily, I was just able to replay through this game 102% on my SNES about 5 months ago or so.

[MaesterTed]

@notshortEdwardElric If you have a Wii, you could buy it on the virtual console?

It's one of my favorite games as well!

[worfkillinshat]

This is great! Plus, free nostalgia trip!

[JTehAnonymous]
