Title seems clickbaity but I figured I'd format it the same way as the OST. What's with Japanese OSTs and writing everything in caps? Can someone explain that to me?

Anyways, here's something I've put a fair amount of work into already that I'm planning to finish in the coming weeks. I just recently got into Ys playing Ys Origin out of the Humble Japanese Bundle (best purchase I've made in a year), and the music struck me as one of the best parts. I'd be surprised if that many people here had played Ys Origin but the series itself seems pretty popular, and the music excellent throughout entries.
This song in particular popped out because of all those notes on the offbeats, which I thought would be prefect for that classic triangle trick where you alternate between bass notes and higher notes to add depth to the track. It turned out to be pretty hard to squeeze into 2a03 but I really don't enjoy working with anything else, so it is what it is. So far it's shaping up to be somewhat of a separate entity from the original track, maybe something that might fit in better in an actual 8-bit game.
Also of note is that it;s not necessarily the opening version or the full version yet, as I haven't reached the point where they're different. I actually sorta prefer the opening version but the full version is longer. Suggestions?
Feedback appreciated of course - I have really no idea what I can do to make that guitar solo in the intro sound less messy. I'd like to do other tracks from Ys Origin at some point (SCARS OF THE DIVINE WING is a favorite) and if anyone else would like to see a particular one covered I'd be willing to take suggestions.
EDIT: Title was too long to include 2a03 tag. Is that a spam filter or a technical limitation? If the former, could a mod edit in the 2a03 tag please? My title's length is legitimate I think.
