Kurt Nilsen - Rise To The Occasion (instrumental cover)

[Caroline9966]

Love this

[mastermaster10123]

hey what equipment did you use? pedals and effects

[sanmanmed]

@mastermaster10123 No pedals, it's basically the clean channel on my Roland Cube 30 (plus a little reverb, I think).

[MissYourEverything]

can I use this as a playback with my singing? (with a credit of course)

[sanmanmed]

Sure, no problem.

But I'll quote myself: "Feel free to use the recording. But I encourage you to play it yourself or to get a friend to play it, 'cause the sound quality in this video isn't the best. "

:-)

[Sunno94]

thanks sanmanmed i learned to play this song because of this video : )

[Woldino]

Are you Norwegian?

[Woldino]

Beautiful! =D But could you do me a huge favor?! =) Could you make a new video where you show more precise what i'm supose to do? Thanks a lot! =D

[sanmanmed]

Hey, thanks. I don't have the time to do a recording at the moment, sorry. But I encourage you to learn how to read tablature (tabs). Then you will know how it's played, plus you can learn just about every song out there!

[Karli1017]

Ah, amazing. <3

[sanmanmed]

Thanks. I see from your profile that you are a big Kurt Nilsen fan, so it's good to hear that you liked my cover.

Hi. Do you use the same chords as in the tabs in the link?

[sanmanmed]

Basically yes - although I played A as a bar chord throughout, and E and the D-type chord in the chorus after the bridge as bar chords. Doesn't really matter, though, but it's nice with a little variation.

A: 577650 (thumb on low E)

E: x79990

D: 10 12 12 11 10 0 (thumb on low E)

[cherubim222]

still can't get it how u play it...please explain for rookie ))

[sanmanmed]

What do you mean in particular? I don't know how I can explain it better than I did in the posts below. It comes with practice. Read up on fingerstyle and get used to the technique. Good luck.

[JelcoNL]

sanmanmed, I thought that was absolutely incredible! I found the tab from this song on the internet, but I have a problem. In this song, you have to play realy fast. Can you tell me which finger u use on which snare? That would realy help me, thx! Good job!

[sanmanmed]

Thank you! I play "fingerstyle" in this song. Each string is assigned its own finger:

E: Thumb

A: Thumb

D: Thumb

G: Index finger

B: Middle finger

e: Ring finger

If you are new to fingerstyle, I recommend checking out

v=rW9IbxIlFuo

Good luck, and don't hesitate to ask more questions!

[sanmanmed]

I don't know how to post links here, but just copy "v=rW9IbxIlFuo" and paste it after the question mark in the address bar in your web browser.

[JelcoNL]

Thx alot! This is helping me so much :)

[jeninerm]

Awesome. Loved it. I'm actually thinking about recording when I sing to this version. Very good job ;)

[sanmanmed]

Thanks. Feel free to use the recording. But I encourage you to play it yourself or to get a friend to play it, 'cause the sound quality in this video isn't the best.

[jojotaquinou]

Veru good but i think it plays with a capo on the 2nd fret but good job

[sanmanmed]

Yep, the shiny thing to the right is a capo on the 2nd fret :). Thanks for dropping by.

[forlanzzz]

where are you from?

[sanmanmed]

I'm from Earth (nah, it's a secret :-)).

[forlanzzz]

hehe

[forlanzzz]

hehehe everybody can sing you know:P hehe

[sanmanmed]

Hehe, I know they say so, but it doesn't apply to me.

The problem is that my voice is pretty deep, and the range is very limited. It's like I'm suffocated when I try to reach the high notes :-).

[forlanzzz]

why arent you singing?? great guitar playing though:) what are the chords??

[sanmanmed]

I'm the opposite of Kurt - I sing like a hobbit, but I look like an angel (hehe j/k).

But seriously, I got zero voice control, so singing would make things worse.

There's a link to the tab to the right. Thanks for the comment.
