Yes, this was done to minimalize the bias on the sample library at everyone's disposal.

Maple: Cheers we have an entry!! Awsome!!

Wow, great ^.^

I'll try with my transcription of the Tapion's Theme from Dragon Ball. At first, I did this video to explain the chords progression and the chords substitution (this is why the title contains the word "tutorial"). I included an improvisation, then I wrote the sheet music. As the video was made for this subject, There is a lot of explanation, so I hope this submission complies with the terms of this contest ^_^

I used this video for another arrangement competition on SquareSound a while ago. It's over three years old, but I still regard it as one of my best arrangements. I combined the original version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBeMTXZ56XY) with the one from Yoko Shimomura's Drammatica album (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrGetw-7byo)
