Been a while since I last recorded any guitar.

I'm still noticeably worse when performing for a recording or audience, and I'm not exactly *good* at my best, but there's still signs of improvement

And it's still fun to slowly but surely get some iconic tunes start sounding increasingly recognisable as I practice, and needing less and less time with each song to be able to pick it up from the tab

Still need to tinker with my software amp and recording settings to get a nicer sound at some point if I can.

First: Storm Eagle from Mega Man X.

Not quite got the tempo right and there's a few bits here I sometimes play with chords but don't here as I'm not at a point I can reliably play them at even this speed. Still, it mostly sounds familiar enough, even without the harmony and other instruments.

Next: Wily Fortress 1 from Mega Man 2.

Or Okkusenman, or any of the dozens of times this has been used as the song to represent Mega Man as a whole.

Only did a fragment rather than the whole thing, and mostly because while the song is very tired and overused, it's still good - and felt like it was worth celebrating the Mega Man crossover in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds with

Finally to round it out, Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2.

Another overused theme, but it's a bit slower and thus more easier to play than most Sonic tracks and still sounds recognisable without the extra instrumentation (although the lack of the initial siren-type synth is something I probably should have tried to account for)

Was hoping to also include some King Dedede from Kirby but I've only recently started practicing that one and only had so much time on my lunch break to spare earlier today
