Episode 79: Five Finger Fanfare, Part 2

Very Good Music: A VGM Podcast

We are back again, and this time we're returning to a classic show theme for another Part 2, this one focusing on the Five-Finger Fanfare (a term coined by the Super Marcato Bros. on their excellent and seminal VGM podcast). This is a term used to describe a run of 5 notes that line up with the first 5 notes of the minor scale - a technique used frequently in video game music. Will you be able to hear the Five-Finger Fanfares in each piece of Very Good Music the hosts brought to this episode? Only one way to find out!

As always, we appreciate our amazing patrons who supported us for so long, as well as the artists who made our show art and theme song. You can reach out to us one of these ways:
