Hello! After an extremely long time, here's a new episode of Game Suite Zone! This time, we'll focus on music from Kirby's Epic Yarn (or Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn).

Here are the topics we covered.
1) Tempo & Time Signature - 0:36
2) Our Focus - 0:42
3) Finding the Melody (Scales) - 1:06
4) The Big Picture (Key) - 5:50
5) Finding the Harmony (Chords) - 7:42
6) Diatonic Chord Progression - 12:09
7) MIDI Conversion - 13:24
8) Dynamics - 13:53
9) Sustain Pedal - 15:07

Since only one instrument is used, I decided to try something different and use this piece as a basis for advice on transcribing your favorite video game music.

I wish I could get this one out sooner, but this took unbelievably long to make. I was working on this bit by bit for a while, but if I didn't just buckle down and only focus on the video this month, it would have taken even longer to release. I think I have a newfound admiration for animators now.

Thank you for reading and watching! I put in a ton of work to make this video the absolute best I could make it, so I hope you enjoyed it. I'm definitely going to have to find other ways to make content so this can be a once-in-a-while thing (it takes too long), but I'm looking forward to what I can create next! :)
