Facepunch Orchestra - Playing your favorite video game songs!
81 replies, posted
Had this great idea, there's probably quite a few of us on Facepunch who know how to play a musical instrument, and I'd like to start the Facepunch Orchestra, as the title says, playing great video game music with our own mouthes :D.
I've got plenty of great songs to construct, now I just need the man power and the will to put together our first song.
The first song I'd like to play would be

Does it have to be instruments in orchestra's? Cause I would so play guitar in this :D
Guitar sounds good depending on the song, so no it doesn't need to be orchestra instruments.

I've PM'ed the author to the sheet music on the newgrounds link, hopefully he'll give us permission to use it, for now I've got a small song that's interesting because it contains a large variety of orchestral instruments. I'll post a link to the sheet music shortly.

Wow, Paid In Blood is an epic song :D
mhmm, anyways the sheetmusic for one of the songs I have is pretty long for electric bass, i'll try and send you the file for a program called notation because it's easier to read it in there.

I know there's already guitarists that have applied, but I have my grade 3 Harmony which I think is a bonus.

Wait, so do we use our instruments, or our mouthes?
Yeah, I saw that too. Same thought.
No way in [b]hell[/b] that this will get followed through. :3:

As you already have 2 guitar players I would offer to play drums. If one of your guitar players is unable to do it though, I could fill in. Also I can read sheet music on drums but not on guitar as well.
