Level 1 "DK In Love"                               
~Donkey Kong~
Composed by: Shigeru Miyamoto
Arranged by: Justin Lincoln

*Notes: If you are having trouble hearing the theme here be sure to check
out the original transcribed by nozzie. His tab inspired me to see just
how far I could take a very simple melody. I decided to arrange it into
a relaxing fingerstyle piece and call it "DK In Love" because, if you think
about it, all Donkey Kong wanted was some quality private time with his woman.
LOL. Be sure to accent the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th notes at the very 
beginning to establish the theme for the entire piece. I altered the theme
many times throughout and it might not be so obvious, so where it is apparent
be sure to make it come through.

Video!

@TheDoomOfAllFires (March 15, 2009 at 11:42 AM)

That's great !

@nozzie (March 15, 2009 at 6:13 PM)

Glad to inspire you with the simplest of melodies :D this really is great

I can feel the emotion of DK in this and have no problem hearing the melody

@archard (March 16, 2009 at 4:47 AM)

Wow. Kabukibear has done it again. Only you could take a melody as simple as that and turn it into a full fledged love ballad arrangement. You have vision man. Do I smell another OCRemix submission?

@yoshistrings (March 16, 2009 at 12:47 PM)

0.o Holy hole in a doughnut! This is awesome!

@superdoughboy4 (March 17, 2009 at 6:47 PM)

This is great! I don't personally know the song from the games, except for the all too well known theme song, but this sounds great!

@mamechibi (March 31, 2009 at 10:26 PM)

Simply Amazing!!! It might be helpful if you put first and second endings on the repeats, but overall it's awesome as always! :)

@Colin_spade (April 10, 2009 at 8:54 PM)

Ah. amazing. i love it.

@definiteleydan (July 19, 2009 at 11:34 AM)

I arranged this piece on piano because I really liked it.

Level 6
