[Braix's Weeb Quiz 3 (Easy Mode)]

and anotha one
Braix's Weeb Quiz 3 (Easy Mode)

picked 20 melodies that hopefully aren't as niche, think that most people will recognize at least a couple even if the title doesn't come to mind
and to make things even easier, I added a left hand part for all of them... i just want people to get these right

Google Sheet has been updated for the first time in 3 years. Also made a new Google Data Studio report, links to both in the OP.

LH:
- For m4 LH, I hear the first 16th note on beat 2 as a low E (same note as beat 1) instead of a high G#. (Same for m12)
I'm still hearing the high G# super clearly, it's possible it might not be the bassline, but still wanted to include it because it sounded prominent to me


RH Layer 2:
- You might consider putting B# and C# under the G# and A on beat 4 of m13, but this might be tricky to play.
I added an E# and F# instead, it's not faithful to the original notes but it's easier to play while preserving some of that feel, I think. I'd probably either want to go with this or just single notes.
- m19 beat 2.75 should be A instead of B.
Also added in the Dn in beat 3.75. It jumps down to the A in the original while in this arrangement it moves up, but for the sake of playability I don't think that can be helped. Would rather keep in the Dn anyway to preserve the rhythmic motion in the RH

[BRAIX'S WEEB MELODY QUIZ part 2]

heyo, its bricks

Made another weeb quiz today: [BRAIX'S WEEB MELODY QUIZ part 2]

Took a different approach from last time, since a lot of the melodies went unguessed on my first quiz:

• With the exception of like two of them, I was introduced to these melodies outside of the context of the anime itself (covers, background music, compilations, memes, vtubers, etc).
  • Figured this way, i can ensure that they're probably more widely known outside of the genre(s) i watch.
    
  • I've included some music I personally know to just be normal j-pop, but I wouldn't be surprised if those songs are actually OPs/EDs of some anime I didn't watch
• each melody is 8 bars long, rather than four
  • My goal isn't to trip people up, so hopefully if you know the melody you'll be able to recognize it from what I wrote
  • Tried to choose obvious sections of each song. again, not trying to trick anyone here
• I'll be giving out hints liberally (to a reasonable extent), just dm me asking for a hint if you're close and need a little push

Answers will probably be posted by the end of the week (Sat March 13)

Winner will get 1 month Discord nitro

[BRAIX'S WEEB MELODY QUIZ]

heyo, its braix

figured I'd switch things up with non-VGM: [BRAIX'S WEEB MELODY QUIZ]
curious to see if anyone can get these, tried to balance it out with some pretty mainstream songs

(not ordered in any particular way)
for anime openings/endings, [anime title + op/ed] is a sufficient enough answer

Answers will probably be posted by the end of the week (Sat Feb 13)
winner will get 1 month discord nitro on me because why not

Fixed!
Note entry tool to automatically fix the spacing was so convenient why didn't I know about this earlier LMAO

Made all the changes!


Some extra notes:

- Hidden eighth rests on beat 4 of m. 19, 21, 24 should be unhidden
Unhid all of these, but I'm not too sure about the positioning of the rests. m.21 was fine, but m. 19 and 24's rests overlapped with the notes so I repositioned them to be above. I wonder if that's fine or if I should have put them below layer 2 instead?

- Check this for m. 6 as well as 14 - also looking again I think that might be better as an E# instead of Fn
Fixed, also changed the dyad in m.6 to match the one in 14 (brought up the low B up an octave to make it simpler to play)

Some fixes I made just now:
- Realigned the gliss marks so the natural signs would be visible
- Trimmed back some of the RH second layer chords so they'd be more convenient to play and read
- Also took out the bottom note of the RH last chord to make it less of a jump
- Changed the trill(flat) to a normal trill

Original:

I made sure all notes were accurate but I took a bit of liberty in the way I arranged it. Was a little tough to get the same organ vibe down while still making sure it was playable so I had to make a bit of a compromise.
While I'm sure all the notes are correct, I'm not confident that the accidentals are as they should be (Fb vs. Enat? Sharps?)
