VEGA’s stage was MEANT FOR GUITAR

If you want to learn this song, you can get the sheet music/TAB here!

This is the music from Vega's stage in Street Fighter II. This game still brings back some of the fondest memories I have. Going to the arcade back in the day and playing a Street Fighter II cabinet was up there with the most exciting things I felt when I was a kid. I really loved doing this one and hope you enjoy!

Music by Alph Lyla/Yoko Shimomura
Guitar arrangement and performance by Adam Monica

got so hype hearing this i accidentally climbed my living room wall

If no one said this came from a video game, most would think it's some classic masterpiece

[Kevbro]

Crazy how Vega has always been a villain in the street fighter series but yet this beautiful music makes him sound like an Iconic Hero

The National Anthem of my beloved Spain-Vega is the greatest Spanish Ninja ever.

[Rantandreason]

That's one of those things I truly miss, is going to the arcade
Kids will NEVER understand what it was like when SF2 came out, and there were lineups to play it

[bumbo]

You make your guitar sounds like they are 3 guitarists playing together. I’m in awe. Thank you deeply

[erichquinones]

I can almost hear Vega flying through the air like "yaaaa* and suplexing me perfectly. Well done sir

[SuPeRNinJaRed]

Vega’s music was completely inspired by Flamenco guitar music, of course created using chipset sfx and you have finally returned it back to its original influential form... full circle

[elekamit]

Playing both the lead AND the back strums at the same times?
YES

[dr.abdokarimtourkmani]

As a man who spent hours during his teenage playing SF II, and a Spanish citizen in love with flamenco guitar, this is absolutely mesmerizing 🙏🏼❤️

[TheZXKUQYB]

I played SF2 for cash tournaments in the 90s. I wept w joy listening to your acoustics version. My soul is now complete

[Fluffyudders]

People always go on about Guile's Theme, and to a lesser extent Ryu and Ken's themes, but Vega's is the one that always stood out to me, and I think it's massively underrated. Thank you for doing it some justice!

[BrunoidGames]

Amazing execution!
Yoko Shimomura is a great composer.

[JoshGUITARofolo]

Absolutely killer, Adam! I hesitate to use the word flamenco lest I upset half of YouTube, but your FLAMENCO TECHNIQUE is OUTSTANDING! Loving the new studio space too!

[sjelen]

this aint no man, no mortal man can go from one chord position to another and sound so clean

[linapilchard]

Of all the tracks in this game, this one I think is the most believably from the same region as the character. I hear this, I think of Spain. And this rendition absolutely does the original piece justice. What a beautiful arrangement ❤

[natew]

street fighter 2 was basically a complete game even thought the computer cheated. the music is tops

[lonewolf]

Christ, doing that rhythm while having melody on top is extremely hard, awesome job

[kojima_]

I never thought it was possible to make a really good arrangement for only one guitar of this piece. It's absolutely fantastic!

[dieselpcs]

Holy shitttt. This was unreal. The hair on my neck stood up and got chills.
