What's up, RMers?

Gee-golly willikers!

I accidentally wrote a doozy for a last boss theme and I've been practicing the hell out of the guitar passages.

I'm not a virtuoso, so 80% of it is wrote to match my physical abilities and the other 20% is hell mode challenge (for me, since I'm not Eddie Van Halen (RIP)...)

The practice sessions have been fire though, and the writing is extensive. The live sound is great, I'm hoping the recording turns out just as good.

The "Final Boss" theme was originally planned to be a heavily distorted, fast paced and thematic thrash metal track. But I got something different...

Instead I wrote something slow and foreboding played mostly on the clean channel of the electric and bass guitars, with a subtle but effective drum beat and the occasional distorted guitar cameos to highlight key notes and provide backup rhythm once in awhile. The chord progressions are clean and sparkly with strange but effective patterns, there is extensive legato verses, parts where things blend and sound beautifully strange.

The "clean, chill, foreboding" part of the track lasts approximately 8 minutes, and then I have about 4 minutes of the "loud, distorted, fast-paced" heavy metal parts wrote. There will be more heavy metal as the track matures as I already got a great foundation going for the madness. Once it's all done, I'd say there'll be about 16 minutes total.

Once I get the 3 guitar solos worked out, and fill in the next 4 minutes or so of the heavy metal part, then the track should be done.
