Silhouette (Medieval Style) - Naruto Shippuden OP16

NANIMOETH, NANIMOETH

I decided to do another full version of an opening, this time arranging Silhouette from Naruto Shippuden (or as the meme community likes to call it, the filthy frank anime opening 1). Surprisingly, this was simpler than I initially thought - there are 3 melodic ideas that appear repeatedly throughout the piece, making it easier to go through. The first at 0:23, second at 0:43, third at the chorus 0:54. These three ideas are immediately repeated after a transition break at 1:16 (with some minor melodic variation/embellishments). Additionally, the introductory section is brought back at 2:10 before transitioning into the second melodic idea at 2:20, and the chorus again at 2:33. I decided to change the ending a bit, since the part that gave me the most trouble was transcribing the electric guitar solo at 3:23 and figuring out the harmonic support from the singer's line. In this case, I removed the vocalist's lines to put the solo in the spotlight, allowing me more freedom with the harmonic accompaniment. Afterwards, I decided to directly transition to the introductory theme rather than have sparse chordal strumming.
