Prince of Darkness - The Hot Pink Of Blues (FF6 Cover)

http://www.tonydickinson.net

(Real music starts at about 1:33)

This video is of me playing my most well known video game remix: "The Hot Pink Of Blues" on both Bass and Guitar. This tune is a smooth, jazzy remake of "Cyan's Theme" from Final Fantasy VI.

This is the original tune:

I use some really crappy visual transitions since the guitar doesn't play all the time and most of you wouldn't enjoy me doing nothing while I wait for the next guitar solo.

Original studio version: http://www.tonydickinson.net/media/Prince_Of_Darkness_-_The_Hot_Pink_Of_Blues...

In this video, most of the parts I do will be different from the studio version since a lot of it was improvised.

Also, I tuned my instruments down a whole step for this song.

I first made this song public in the June 2008 Dwelling of Duels competition, the theme was "Boss vs. Hero".

Out of curiosity, when you picked up your first guitar, did you have a knack for it or was it hard practise over time that got you this good?

[TonyDickinsonBG]

To be honest it's all a blur, haha. I suppose I had sort of a knack for it because when you start honing your skills on bass, they transfer over to guitar really well. However, I remember having to break a lot of habits that I picked up from bass while learning guitar.

Dude, you're f*cking awesome :D

This was fantastic to listen to, and I can't wait for your next stuff at DoD :D

[TonyDickinsonBG]

Sweet! DoD fans! I participated this past month. Go check it out if you haven't yet. :D

[AGRON7]

hey, i was wondering two things, one)is this possible on a 4-string and two)is it possible to provie us hopeful bass players with tabs for this?

[TonyDickinsonBG]

No, and probably not either with a 5-string, or at least it would be very difficult. Otherwise, you could do transposing, but you would lose some of the important low notes.

And I will put up tabs, but I don't have them readily available. Normally I would, but this song I recorded as I went along, which is not normal for me.

[littlenorbert]

.....I'm buying a 6-stringer.

[Red88Rex]

I remember the first time I heard this about a year ago, on OCRemix. The song is so full of emotion and you perfectly captured the torment of Cyan's character. You are an inspiration to me and one of my favorite remixers!

Goooodddddd :D

[portruinadude]

LOL you look so evil when on bass, very cool song =]

[Setzergabbini]

I first heard this on OCRemix.

To date, its my favorite remix, even if the name is... yah.

[gorikuri]
