    This should be playing in a darkly lit bar out in the Periphery, in a scene in a Battletech show that might never be made real.

      Pitch it, it could actual happen, or make your own little animation or comic series.

    Thanks so much to everyone for the great encouraging comments to my last MW2 soundtrack video. Here is an attempt on another one of my favorite tracks from the game, and also being my first harp guitar song. Enjoy!

      Definitely the best track from 31st Century Combat; very atmospheric. It just 'feels' like MechWarrior/Battletech - that desolate space, where war never ends. Cheers.

    Holy crap, this is amazing! I didn't think anyone except me who's into music still remembered the MW2 soundtrack. It's amazing to hear this played on an acoustic instrument :D

    I have only just found this now thanks to discord friends. I have to say this is phenomenal and extremely technical feeling as far as fingerstyle goes. I can't stress how much I would want a whole cover album in this style.

    I generally don’t like covers of songs, because they often change the distinctive sound so much as to be unrecognizable or take so many liberties that it destroys the patterns I like. This is a notable exception. I almost like it more than the original.
    If there’s ever a Battletech/Mechwarrior TV series, this track should be the opening theme. It perfectly fits into the space frontier themes of Battletech!

    • @TimberwolfCY

  • @Sumaire_STi

    Very well done, mate. Really neat to see other musicians doing arrangements of these classic soundtracks. :D (And for a "first track with the instrument", you hit it off really well!)

    I'm curious, how long does it take to compose something like this? I literally know nothing about music and was just wondering.

    • @NJGuitar
      @NJGuitar  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For this track, I was spending some time in the evenings over a period of around two to three weeks, whenever there was some time. Most of the time I used for experimenting with different tunings and figuring out the rhythm section.

    • @FarseerAnimation
      @FarseerAnimation 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I figured it would be something like that. Keep up the good work!
