Level 1 "DK In Love"                               
~Donkey Kong~
Composed by: Shigeru Miyamoto
Arranged by: Justin Lincoln

*Notes: If you are having trouble hearing the theme here be sure to check
out the original transcribed by nozzie. His tab inspired me to see just
how far I could take a very simple melody. I decided to arrange it into
a relaxing fingerstyle piece and call it "DK In Love" because, if you think
about it, all Donkey Kong wanted was some quality private time with his woman.
LOL. Be sure to accent the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 7th notes at the very 
beginning to establish the theme for the entire piece. I altered the theme
many times throughout and it might not be so obvious, so where it is apparent
be sure to make it come through.

Wow. Kabukibear has done it again. Only you could take a melody as simple as that and turn it into a full fledged love ballad arrangement. You have vision man. Do I smell another OCRemix submission?
