At the Gala goes F Minor

We have a very cool new arrangement of At the Gala, courtesy of Dimondium. Dimondium took the original song and transposed it into F Minor. This key gives the song a whole new feel—it's very dramatic. The "code name" for the song is Twilight Sparkle Meets Her Match, which seems quite appropriate given the new mood of the music.

Listen to the transposed version in the video. Then you can download the whole sheet music package—perfect for a school band or orchestra, if you can convince them to play it! (And if you do, send us a recording of the performance!) Thanks, Dimondium!

[Edit: Dimondium shared some helpful notes about the piece in the comments to this post. Go check it out!]

Smile Cover by Turquoise Splash

Turquoise Splash shared a truly excellent colt cover of Smile with Everypony Sings. The vocals, the instruments, the mixing—it all sounds great. You definitely want to give this one a listen! I especially like the whole chorus that comes in at the end.

You can watch the video to hear Turquoise Splash's recording. You can also download two versions of the cover: an mp3 and a .flac file. Add them to your pony music files!

Background Music Awesomeness from ESPPony

One of our very own team members, ESPPony, does an amazing job covering the songs from the show. He also covers the background music. Well, he decided that the background music from the Gilda episode ("Griffon the Brush-Off") was really cool and worth covering, so he set to work.

Give it a listen in the video!  It sounds perfect on electric guitar and bass, especially considering how much of a hard-rock character Gilda seems to be.As always, you can find tab and mp3 versions in the video description. Thanks, ESPPony!

Winter Wrap Up Guitar Tab/Sheet Music (and a Request!)

Metalmaster32 shared a great version of Winter Wrap Up for guitar. This version, which includes sheet music and tab, uses an alternate tuning on the guitar to be faithful to the sound of the original song. If you're a guitarist and you love Winter Wrap Up (who doesn't?!), then this is for you! Take a look here.

We also have a request from a brony who's looking for violin sheet music. Specifically, there is a request for This Day Aria on the violin. Can anypony lend a hand? If so, email us (check out the "Share Music" page for more info)!

(Edit: I left out the link earlier, but it's fixed now. Sorry 'bout that!)

Art of the Dress Tab from Jackupthoseapples

Art of the Dress is probably my favorite pony song, so I'm pretty psyched for this tab from jackupthoseapples. If I played guitar, I would be all over these tabs.

All of you who do play guitar should be sure to check it out.

Edit: Jackupthoseapples has a Tumblr, which you can check out over here.

Ballad of the Crystal Ponies Chords from Miskof

There are lots of fans out there of these new songs—and I don't blame them! The Ballad of the Crystal Ponies is awesome. (I've been humming it to myself all day, as a matter of fact.)

One fan is miskof, who has shared resources with us in the past. He's back, this time with chords for the Ballad of the Crystal Ponies. I tried them out on the ukulele and they sound really good. Give them a look!

Thanks, miskof!

Failure Song Chords

Kurayami shared some great chords for Ballad of the Crystal Ponies, which we posted up last night. Now, Kurayami is back with chords for The Failure Song (I Wasn't Prepared for This). This is another excellent resource, and I'm sure people will appreciate it.

You can find the chords here. Take a look! You can also find all the resources for these new songs on the brand-new Season Three page.

We're always happy to share more resources, so keep them coming, everypony!

Chords for Ballad of the Crystal Ponies

This new song, Ballad of the Crystal Ponies, is already one of my favorites. I love that instrumentation (mandolin, I think?). I can't wait to learn to play it myself.

Well, Kurayami is helping me achieve that goal by sharing some new chords for the Ballad of the Crystal Ponies. You can find the chords here. They are quite well done. Thank you, Kurayami!

For those who are wondering, our resident web designer (Candy Coda) is working hard on starting a Season Three page to organize all these great new resources. Stay tuned!

Remix/Original: Nightmare Night Masquarade

Hey everypony! We have a cool original piece to share this time around. Valenheart sent in a remix/original/reimagination (we're not sure quite what to call it!) of Eurobeat Brony's song, Luna. Valenheart's version is titled Nightmare Night Masquarade.

This is a very cool piece of music. I really like the driving beat and the instrumentation. Give it a listen in the video. You can also find this song on Soundcloud.

Orchestral Version—B.B.B.F.F.

I have a real soft spot for Big Brother Best Friend Forever. It might not have been as epic as the other songs from the Season Two finale, but it's just such a sweet song. So I'm glad GoldenGlissando wrote a fantastic orchestral version of B.B.B.F.F.

The instrumentation and interpretation that GoldenGlissando brought to this composition are really well done. I think it actually adds to my appreciation of the original. Listen to it in the video—you won't regret it!

You can also visit GoldenGlissando's new Youtube channel, where I'm sure plenty of cool new music will be appearing soon.
