OUTRUN

This song and music score is "Magical Sound Shower" from OUTRUN. Outrun is one of the representative works of SEGA in its heyday. The three outrun BGMs were all good songs. The system that allows players to select BGM was also epoch-making at the time.

This song starts with a familiar phrase. The rhythm of this 16th note is the characteristic of this song. To get started, repeat these four measures four times.

The melody part starts from the 12th bar. The music score shown here is one octave higher than the original because it is for the guitar. You can play the music score of the third row on a 4-string bass. This backing part is a little difficult phrase for beginner piano players. Once you get used to it, you can enjoy playing it.

Next is the 20th to 23rd measures. Here, repeat this phrase twice. Since the chord progression is simple, there is no problem.

Solo performance begins at the 38th bar.

It gets more difficult from here.

Playing this song on a piano or keyboard is not that difficult.Attention is required for the two parts, the continuous tap of the same sound and the triplet. However, it is difficult to play this solo part with a guitar.

You will need some practice to play this song. The triplets that appear everywhere are troublesome.

"Acciaccatura" appears in the solo part. Playing it on the piano is easy, but playing it on the guitar is a bit difficult.

This is a section where triplets and 16th notes are consecutive. This section is difficult to play accurately. It's cool to be able to play these phrases.

Magical Sound Shower is a song over 30 years ago, but it feels good to listen to now.
