Poll: Do you play video game music yourself?

[Florion]

I was enjoying learning the sheet music to the Katamari Overtures, and wondering how many musically inclined Escapists also like to hunt down video game sheet music. Or if most Escapist musicians prefer to learn music by ear. Or which songs you like to play.

So. :3 Tell me!

(Also, I'm aware those are sentence fragments up there. I'm also aware that there is a "Video Game Music" thread that is about a week old, but I'm talking about music you play yourself, rather than listen to.)

When I was still in band class and playing the clarinet, I managed to teach myself various Legend of Zelda songs and the Animal Crossing theme, but I've never been too good at it. I sold my instrument a while back, but I still listen to game music on my iPod. I love the World Ends With You soundtrack and the opening theme for Avalon Code.

Castlevania's music is so br00talz.

I'm talkin stuff from Castlevania 2: Belmont's Revenge fer the original GB.

I'm strictly an in game music person.

...... OK, with this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMMV_RoEMxE] exception.

Well I can't play any at the moment because, well, I don't play any instruments (i'm learning guitar though ), but my new goal in life is to be able to play Tifa's Theme on piano.

 

[PrinceoN]

Zelda stuff. I play it. By ear. But i suck

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I did the sheet music since I think tab must be something. I just do it to have fun with another friend who plays the same on piano (I play it on guitar). Recently I tried to learn The Super Mario Brothers Rock Version but have been having trouble with finding the tab. I still have it on my iPod though and listen to it frequently.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Not really, only ever tried to learn a few old songs on the piano and tried to play "Saria's Song" but it was really hard >.> and didn't sound right

 

[Jamash]

I don't play any music myself, but I do have the music from The Witcher on my iPod, and enjoy listening to it outside of the game environment.

You do realize that's a song used in a video game and not a song from a video game?

Yes. Yes I do. It also happens to be used in a video game.

My logic is strange indeed.

I would like to learn some songs from silent hill and final fantasy series on piano but still getting around the basics. The main song I want to learn is this.

I try to learn some video game songs on guitar and bass tabs. Does that count?

 

[NotAPie]

Devil May Cry's music is what I use to listen to.

I don't know where to find it, but I'm willing to transcribe it if you're willing to wait a few weeks (I could do it faster if I weren't going on holiday until the 8th). I'd forgotten how lovely the Silent Hill soundtrack was. <3

 

[DarkSplinter82]

I had the soundtrack to ff7-10 But I lost that long ago when a computer blew up

Currently Have Gears of War 1&2 Soundtrack with Locust Theme as a ring tone

Thank you for your generosity but please don't, I don't want to bother anyone with my problems, I'll keep searching the internet for the sheet music to this song, If I find it I'll tell you.Hope you have a great holiday.

 

[DrDeath3191]

I do it by ear on piano (only the melody) and on saxaphone.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

I can't play music! I thought there would be that option too. I usually listen to it on my pc, on youtube to be precise.
