Organization of tribute albums to our favourite OST Monthly VGM Cover contest + annual championship The PM discord features bunch of stuff, that actually originally started on Gametabs 6 years ago: This won't change ANYTHING about the main website itself! So for those of you who are interested in being part of a very active video games cover/remix community I'd like to start a "migration" toward the Pixel Mixers Discord, which is a community that i'm also managing. People who've been active on the forum during the golden age have left the video games music thing or don't really enjoy Discord.Īnd the new forum suffers from bugs that I personally can't fix (i can't even login anymore.) I hope you enjoy it!īeen trying to get some sense of community back into Gametabs but it fails to work. Here is my favorite video game cover with the tabs that I uploaded to. Here you can find an extensive collection of your favorite video game music. I began to play guitar with tabs more than 20 years ago. And yes, the ability to learn your favorite songs with tabs makes things even better.

Also, the beauty is that a guitar many times is not that expensive, and we have tabs. Or if you like to listen to it on an electric guitar in a metal version. And when it comes to guitar, there is something special about plugging the strings and the ability to hear an instrument that can sound like a piano. Do you remember the hidden chest that you or your brother found after hours of searching? Or even the first time you heard the intro or also the end of the game? Or better yet, that time that you stopped in the same spot just that you could listen to the music. Yes, it is somewhere in your childhood memories. Why is this music so pleasant to our ears? It doesn't need to sound identical to the original music. Remember, it is your cover, and you can do it your way. Then after that, you can add the other notes. An important key: always find the bass and melody first. This process is challenging, but it works well. I would slow the video on youtube most of the time and repeat a section like 100 times until I get the right notes and harmony. This process would be slower than the first one. The second option would be to try to create the arrangement from a piano score without change it.

For example, most of the music sounds the best on the guitar on E, G, D, and A major or in a, e, or b minor. Most of the time, I change the bass clef to treble clef. In this, I used Sibelius, but you can use other software. First, I look for score music, and I make some changes with a music program. I use many ways to create arrangements, and I'm going to explain them very briefly. It doesn't matter if I have to do it little by little, note by note. And it is the following "I'm going to create this cover even if it takes years." What I mean by this is that once I begin to create an arrangement, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Years later, I decided to upload on YouTube, and that was the moment I got a mentality that I use even today. Then, I discovered Super Guitar Bros videos, and man, I was amazed (check out Sam Griffin covers!). I would watch the piano covers, and I would think the guitar was too limited to do it. I always wanted to do covers before, but it seemed too complicated. What is the process I use to create the covers? Music impacts our lives and daily undertakings in many incredible ways. Many memories of watching my brother playing the games. Yes, I love Zelda music, and I get the most nostalgia from this video game. So I decided to upload to YouTube every week, and it all started with this video. But with time, I just fell in love with creating and sharing it with many people of the same music taste.

Maybe, something to attract people to listen to my classical music (which never happened). Yes, nostalgia is the biggest reason why I make the arrangements. I have been doing video game guitar covers for years, and there is something that always comes to me while listening: nostalgia.
