A cover of 'Dragon Roost Island' from the video game The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
It's been a while since I've done a cover of a classic VGM track, so I figured I ought to do one! Admittedly, I never got around to finishing Wind Waker, but I don't think you even need to play the game to know how legendary it is, and it's music!
This cover was made to be an entry for the Soundole Chill Out competition, and I picked this song for two reasons. It's a great song that people already know (and I wanted to do a classic cover anyway) so I thought it would be cool to put my own spin on such a song, and it's the original is already pretty mellow. Though the folk style of the original is a bit more 'epic' feeling, I thought trying out a jazz guitar style would make it feel a lot more chill. The problem there is, I'm really not well versed in jazz music! I tried my best to attempt a jazzy style with the 7th chords, swing feel and even a 5/4 section to spice things up, but I'm still not sure how much this classifies as jazz!
Special shout out to Noble for killing it on bass as always, as it was probably just as much outside his comfort zone as it was for me, and the fretless bass was an excellent choice on his part!
Hope you enjoyed this cover, as we had a lot of fun trying out different styles! Let us know if you wanna see us experiment more, and maybe with different genres!
