Zhivago-Kurt Rosenwinkel

[MickeyLWalker]

i wish i knew how to play this its def one of my fav kurt songs, its so beautiful, nd you played it nicely sir

[SkiptimusPrime]

@MickeyLWalker Thanks a bunch!

[fallenoffthestage]

hey dude, fantastic work, is this in standard half step down? or is it in some weird tuning? cus i know rosenwinkel did that for the next step

[SkiptimusPrime]

@fallenoffthestage Thanks! Well, when I started learning this I was new to Guitar and I didn't even know he had written the song in a different tuning! So this is all the normal EADGBE tuning :)

[powersoftritone]

you are awesome I'll been looking all over for actual video of the chord voicing

[richoboss22]

hey 1 question, how do you think this chord part (gbmaj7, ebm7 and other changes until change to the beginning part) when you are improvising ? like chord/scale ? or you do other stuff ? great playing by the way

[SkiptimusPrime]

@richoboss22 Thanks! I think of them as one scale BUT the question is; is it the Gb major scale or the Db major scale? My ear says Db major but a case could be made for either. I've been working on Soloing over this tune for a long time and the lines that seem to work best over the more busy sections are the arpeggios that delineate the chord at the moment. Besides the Gb-Ebm section and the F-Dm section, there isn't really one scale that's usable between any two consecutive chords. Tough tune!

[StratoblasterRob]

dude this is brillaint!

[SkiptimusPrime]

@StratoblasterRob thanks, man!

Good work!!!

[RichardYatesMusic]

Very nice, I like it! Are you playing an Ibanez? It looks like a guitar that I own.

[clarkdbro]

hey man, since you know this tune quite well and do a very good job with it do you think you could do a clean version so those of use without the best ears could have an easier time hearing this awesome stuff, maybe a little slower too, haha

anyway, killin job

[SkiptimusPrime]

@clarkdbro You know, I was thinking of doing something similar to that... I'll see what I can do!

[jabf123]

really nice,! 

[notout37]

[wholelottaled231]

@notout37 please send a copy to me too! email is squierbuyer182@yahoo.com

[diederikeggenkamp]

@notout37 Hey man! Do you still have this transcription? I want to do the piece for a exam at the conservatory :) would be much appreciated! If you don't have it anymore (considering the 6 months old post) thanks for the effort.

Cheers

[SkiptimusPrime]

@diederikeggenkamp I actually never had a transcription of it, sorry! I learned it by ear and then wrote parts of it down but not the entire guitar part, just the chords for the rest of the band...

[diederikeggenkamp]

@SkiptimusPrime Hey man, I didn't direct that at you actually cause I already saw you saying this to someone else ;-) but thanks for the response. I eventually made a transcription of just the melody and chords myself! What a bitch to do haha.

Cheers

[jazztom86]

is your guitar tuned like the studio version?

[SkiptimusPrime]

Actually no... I learned the tune by listening to a couple recordings I had and playing what I heard so I didn't even know about the alternate tunings at the time. This is just EADGBE :/

[jazztom86]

yeah, I had some hard time trying to transcribe the intro of the studio version, then he explained me he was tuned Bb G Db Ab Bb Eb ^^

[Bebopopotamus]

@jazztom86

He composes in that tuning, but he plays in standard.

[jazztom86]

I know.

[DiphallicTerata]

Beautiful Playing man :) If you could shoot some chords out here, I'm sure we'd all appreciate it.

[SkiptimusPrime]

Thanks and sorry, all I have is what you hear. I don't have it written down anywhere

[franzjoseph88]

[SkiptimusPrime]

Thx you guys! My guitar is an ibanez as83 with flat wound strings

[asteriatic]

What model of guitar is that?

[atavismnocturn]

:) thanks for what you're doing.

[qban3player]

This is a beautiful tune!! great playing bro!!

[altronataku]

Awesome!

[LouBilici]

Love that you posted out the solo-version. Couldnt find others on youtube and this one is excellent. Nice job

[musicianfrommaine]

Did you transcribe this, or memorize it from a chart?

[tomatwood]

nice job. Hey, does he drop the low E to E flat, or just tune the whole guitar down a half step?

[SkiptimusPrime]

Thx, he drops the E down to Eb. But I didn't know this so my Guitar isn't drop tuned

[alnav10]

Good job man

[weazelzb]

sounds pretty accurate!  Im trying to figure that tune out, have you written out your transcription of it?

[SkiptimusPrime]

no man, I just memorized it. It'd be a bit tedious to write it all out. lot of ink!
