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.

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 15 years ago
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?

0.o Holy hole in a doughnut! This is awesome!
@superdoughboy4 15 years ago
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 15 years ago
Simply Amazing!!! It might be helpful if you put first and second endings on the repeats, but overall it's awesome as always! :)

I'm very surprised that nobody noticed what surreal had said about nozzie's tab:
"I suppose this site is getting better. I mean now tabs are starting to magically manifest themselves. Sure their short, but I'm sure they'll be granduerous pieces of musical mastery in no time."
I would at least expect surreal to have said, in response to this tab: "Called it, bitches." Or something of the like.

I think someone noticed and fixed the credits on nozzie's tab :-)

Eh? No, I'm referring to the fact that surreal said "I'm sure they'll be granduerous pieces of musical mastery in no time", and very soon after, Kabuki made a kickass arrangement based on that song/tab.
In other words, surreal --predicted-- Kabuki's arrangement. Probably unknowingly, but nobody seemed to notice that he had predicted it.

I added the video example link. Hope that's ok!
@Sinchio97 12 years ago
Awesome! I learnt it and posted a video. Care to watch? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eFPAzvQpPA&feature=plcp
@ImNotEven 9 years ago
Found your YouTube channel and it helped me learn this piece. I'm still trying to memorize it and get a few parts cleaner but it's a beautiful arrangement.
