Chris Simmons - Tango With Dracula

[Levyathyn]

Been a long time, and this song still wows me all the time. You said you are making an album? Tell me when and where, man.

[Attesson4]

please send me the sheet music by an e-mail. thank you!

[yeah1587]

after 1 year i still admire your work it realy is something diferent, keep the tunes coming :P

[derdanielmachtmusik]

amazing.

[gabrarlz]

bravo

[cuddlyrape]

man do you got an album.. send me a copy i just listened to all your songs

this one sounds like psyopus and chopin met somwhere in the middle

[Poopfemur]

Thanks man you will get a copy of my album as soon as it's ready

[widespreadpanc]

damn csims, pretty tight, and alot of views as well. im impressed, c ya back in the aik

[Gnarlyguy28]

very good, exciting. Can you tell us about the name of the piece how you came up with it. It sounds like a prelude to a suite, sounds kinda improvised. You should consider attaching two more movements to it contrasting but in the same spirit.

P.S. check out "The Usher Waltz" by Nikita Koshkin

[Poopfemur]

I played it for one of my good friends after I finished it and he said "You should call it Tango with Dracula" and I thought it sounded good.

[InvaderMooch]

Amazing show of skill sir :D

[Poopfemur]

thanks dude :) this is been a really popular tune of mine I'm glad you like it

[Revolver16]

d minor tuning even :)

[Poopfemur]

yeah it is a d minor tuning exactly. DADFAD

[Revolver16]

just as stunning and dramatic as the first time I saw it (just under a year ago)

are you using the D minor scale? it's very haunting

[yeah1587]

hey nice Job, the Song Kicks ass! hehe ive seen alot of people try to play the way that yo do but no one like you, you rock, harmonics, melody and the Feeling touch, very nice,  Ps:You should see Li Jie Koyunbaba op.19

[Poopfemur]

I really thank you. I try very hard and it makes me good to know that people are acknowledge it even though i'm no where near the best:)

[newtroplez]

dude, i'm amzed by what u did, where did u learn that, i've never seen anybody here in the philippines doing that, ur just like a malmsteen reborn man..

[Poopfemur]

I saw a few people do some similar stuff once and I just kinda took it my own direction

[nDreamer758]

This is amazing!

[Poopfemur]

thank you very much :)

[dzzjj]

Somehow i like this one most.

[Poopfemur]

At least my music is good enough for you to have a favorite :) thank you for the support

[Loonaticx]

awesome job guy. very asskicking. great control over harmonic placement

[Poopfemur]

thanks dude very asskicking is one of the best comments i've ever gotten

[Poopfemur]

about a month overall I spent quite a bit of time on this and I can play it alot smoother now when I get a mic I plan to redo all of my videos

[doubledouble23]

fantastic composition, much enjoyed, i'd have to i say second that tab request :)

[Poopfemur]

I'm working on it :p stuff like this takes a long time to tab it's frustrating :)

[123jozef]

cool!

[Levyathyn]

I wish I had a tab of this. I might not even be able to play it, but I could enjoy trying someday.

[Poopfemur]

I'll work on it :)

[fendertele76091]

i like your songs man

they are pretty intense

but work on your keeping tempo when changing to a different phase of the song

if u dont and the tempo is always changing then it sounds like you are just playing a bunch of intensly sweet licks and riffs all in the same key

so that tempo will make it or break it to sound like a song or not

but u have an amazing style and it shows that you work hard

keep it up man

[Poopfemur]

Yeah man this is right around when I first started playing this way. All these videos are getting redone when I have a new mic it's been almost a year since this I play much better :) Thanks for listening

[lokutube]

I wanna say, this one is really impressive. The first part is strong in rhythm, and the final part do have nice melody. I think I am now ur super fan. Do tell me if you are going to open a concert!

[Poopfemur]

Thanks man i'll let you know :)

[Gdeftones]

OMFG !!! Dude ! Ur killing me !!!

[lokutube]

ur composition is amazing and ur skill is more than amazing.

[Poopfemur]

Thank you I hope you'll stick around to hear everything when I acquire a decent microphone

[Moezzilla]

better with out the video, it just those big hits you give sound better when without the video

[paddybutts]

Your use of technique is ok, but the song is pants. Basically if i mute the vid, you look like you might be amazing, when i put the volume on i realise its a bit of a flop really.

[Poopfemur]

you'll be surprised when I do it with a good microphone dynamics don't cross well with a skype chat mic

[Poopfemur]

I'm not trying to say that it will make you like the piece or anything just saying it didn't come across well at all

[Raziel555666]

Very impressive! Have you thought of submitting some demos to candy rat? I think they would be quite thrilled with your work!

[Poopfemur]

I have I just wanted to make some better recordings first

[fellowman]

This = Suhweet Brother!

[Mobbs1]

not exactly reminding me of a tango, or dracula really, sounds a little like an excuse to tap, cause it's a little empty in voice. if you add some other instruments it would be fantastic, but for now its just a nice idea. in my opinion. just some healthy critisism... =)

[Poopfemur]

music is all opinion :) thanks though.. My friends are actually the ones who named it

[Cassandra649]

Whatever! This song is awesome! Good stuff Poopfemur lol!

[moonunitenar]

I would say you went a little overboard with the harmonics, but you made it sound great, so congrats!

[Abysmaltormentor]

jesus. it was awesome...

[mofonzio]

make more ! your amazing !

[victorolden]

great sound!

[tonylemegaouf]

I love your song, could you send me it please?

[strukturalneishii]

Bravo!

[nascream79]

[melindawong88]

[Poopfemur]

[shibolethdude]

That is AWESOME and beautiful.  Keep up the hard work. You should be famous dude. Kudos from Washington State!

[maupioosh]

Damn, you are a virtuoso... 5 stars from Poland! :))

[masterofpuppets912]

Fucking awesome killer use of harmonics bro! Nice!

[pcobs2001]

Rock on..That was excellently amazing.

[Anim3x]

awesome!

[bogalbogal]

this si an amazing song! full of edge and beauty. How did you get those wammy bar style noises from an acoustic?

[Poopfemur]

I push the neck behind the headstock and bend it

[Ilovedutchchees]

Wow, loved it.

So relaxing :D

[Lesia44]

Stuffed chock full of technique... but when does the music start? What's the point of all those skills if there's no song?

[Poopfemur]

Music is all opinion :)

[Jonnyblakey]

dam right, mine is high of this :)

[Poopfemur]

Thank you :)

[DarkAngel2424]

LEGEND!!!!!!!

[lionelmcclelland]

[Poopfemur]

We can only hope :) Moe's will never be too good for me

[cowgocrazy]

oh my goodness, i have the same guitar

[zimzawer]

very good

[LeaningBear]

you look very comfortable with many different techniques. Well done.

[kurtdyoung]

i thought the harmonics are part of what made the song, not many people play with them anymore, i would deffinatly by the cd

[eacOo]

then im gonna buy that cd .. after seeing your videos i felt lots of kreativity and got more enegy to focus on my own guitar masterpeices

[ironmeinen]

Nice job man

[scottydangerous]

Was Really cool, PLayed with a little to much harmonics though I think.

[Poopfemur]

Thank you very much :) I hope to have a cd out beginning of next year

[kurtdyoung]

thats fucking amazing

[eacOo]

man that was the most brilliant thing ive ever heard, i love how you play the song, it makes it sound so mystical!

[leeeeet1325649]

Love to tone quality! Reminds me of a combination of Yes and John Butler, i like it a lot.

[Poopfemur]

Thank you John Butler is a pretty nasty guitarist

[marcunha]

"I'm making music that's hard for me to play"

This is a good logic to improve your skills

[BillyM148]

Wow that's great... I love it

[StrangersToll]

That actually sounds like the tune that would be playing if one was to step toe to toe with Dracula

[Poopfemur]

That is the kind of tango I was referring to :)

[Naut]

don't know how well it worked as a song, but a lot of those riffs were absolutely beautiful.

[Poopfemur]

It's a bit different in person :)

[TKOEVIL]

Nice job dude.

[kevinleong1]

whoa!!! amazing

[flaminHampster]

mmm i like

[sk84evr777]

[Loud0glbc]

[htmlpumel]

[tgreathandler]

[edgetillidie]

[Szczad]

Great! ;)

[disengage12a]

Fantastic : )

[GuitarMaxi]

hey man, great playing - i have the same guitar, but a other finish! can you give me some chords or tabs for this song - it's great!

[Poopfemur]

I will work on tabs after I finish my CD

[GuitarMaxi]

ok nice - tuning is ''open D''? am i right?

[Poopfemur]

D minor but close :)

[GuitarMaxi]

ok thx ;-)

[GuitarMaxi]

i try to do it myself - can't wait any longer ;-)

[Poopfemur]

lol :) if you figure it out all the way lemme see it

[GuitarMaxi]

it's easy to tab with this vid... but playing O.o.

[Poopfemur]

lol :p

[soapyshoes]

very very awesome

[adamduffett]

your harmonics are amazing!!

[mejia85710]

I didnt know you could do that with the headstock, well with mine you can't ,, great guitar.. great piece

[ObeyTheFunktipuss]

he's just bending the whole neck, i'm sure its possible on any guitar

[Poopfemur]

It Is :)

[TheBoredTyrant]

awesome!

[lanroshkpu]

Tocas padre está muy chido te felicito hojalá pongas más videos de estos

[gauthierd]

excellent playing

[ganesh2gig]

too much man . \m/

[369hesofine]

sounds like keller williams. Good stuff.

[jegerkung]

amazing!!

[vinceprinceie]

inspiring.

[Lefey661]

Awesome song man i Mean really really good job on this one... Your Full tap parts at 1:17 were a perfect fit. So once again good job on this.

[Elmertheowl]

Awesome work my friend, very original. What kind of guitar is that? How are you bending the notes up at the headstock? (sorry if these questions were asked already) Very good for 5 years.

[Poopfemur]

It's no problem :), The guitar is an Ibanez EW20SMENT Limited Edition Spalted Maple, And i'm pushing the back of the headstock to bend the whole neck like a whammy bar

[scareyourparadox]

Very nicely done =D

The harmonics section blew me away. I was amazed at how well you projected them (for some reason, whenever I try them, I just get a nice buzzing sound >.<)

My only suggestion would be to work a little on the clarity. The melody can get a little lost in the noise from your fingerwork when you're up tapping on the fretboard.

[Poopfemur]

Yeah I use a cheap computer mic and no amplifier with my acoustic so it's hard to get the dynamics right unless your in the same room as me

[francesthemute25]

damn how the hell!!!

i want to learn how to play like that, its like a flamenco/modern rock type playing, man how long have you been playing for??

i've only learned how to do tapped harmonics

[Poopfemur]

I have been playing for 5 years now, Never had any lessons or anything just watched people and practiced all the time people would just show me a lick or a trick every so often.

[Blueadvocate]

wow man, right on, I like that, sounds sorta creepy, like the music dracula would have playin in his castle, thats fantasic form you have. Keep it up man, the world needs more guitar players :) rock on buddy! :)

[electronikita]

wow have to tell u this is one of the best guitar vids i have ever seen! great job man, great fucking job. hopefully one day i will play as good as u !

[DC2394]

That was really great, and so far from the linear way in which so many guitarists that choose not to play acoustics play. It also had the technicality of shredding music, without the pitfall of boring repetition or unpleasant sound. Bravo!

[Poopfemur]

Thank you for that :)

[DC2394]

you're welcome

[AGFOG]

Very Beautiful

[IceScreamRock]

Very original...where do you live???

[Poopfemur]

South Carolina

[thAtOneGuyHAHAHA]

[HerrFmg]

Very Nice!!!! COngratulations!

What's the guitar tunning, btw??

[Poopfemur]

[eric2174936]

[Dunlop71mm]

It's guys like you that meakes me push myselfe and become a better player.

Thank you.

[animalfactory8]

[abraxaz2]

do you change the strings afination?

[Poopfemur]

The guitar is tuned DADFAD

[abraxaz2]

damn man your armonics and melody mixed are very impressive and exquisite!!! I like the sound that you adquired with the neck tremolo!!! niceeee!!!

[fearlessgentleman]

nice song.good form.. how long have you been playing? if you dont mind my asking....

[hopeitsgewd]

awesome, check out the featured vid today. i actually enjoyed this much more

[littoflipfob]

nice job. i love the harmonics part. that was really impressive.

[mejia85710]

That's really good. I like how you really utilize the harmonics. Got this thing on tab? If not you should write it down, it's quite a peace. Cheers!!!

[Poopfemur]

I will eventually it's time consuming :) thanks for taking the time to listen

[Hasfjord]

Wow, u were amazing!

[Arekuzu]

It somehow reminds me to Roundabout by Yes, very cool song, don't listen to bad, destructive opinions, you are very talented. Keep it up!

[WeAreBullets]

u got skill , sounds like the same techniques that p.o.d. used in their song "eternal". its just an instrumental track n i love it.

[iansivirino]

Awesome guy!

Loved it, and the title too...

Thnx for post

[donkeydink666]

hey bro, im actually on my frineds account but seeing this is really amazing, and as a fellow musician, i know how people can be jerks and critique you so harshly as if they could do anything even close to what you can do. so i if anything, you did one freaken great job, i dont care wether you wrote it or not, either way, it takes alot of skill, kudos, and just skrew all of these other people that give you crap, they cant do it anyways.

-Lex

[Poopfemur]

It's all original and thank you my friend

[theloathlydaddy]

Hey, great job! Especially on an acoustic, I'm lazy and usually stick to distorted histrionics on an electric guitar. And I'm no way the artist that you are! Good show.

[JRyanReichel]

Don Ross isn't original either - this style of playing the guitar has been around for a LONG time.

So shut the fuck up about this kid being a plagiarist.

[ApMignonne]

cool. i'm not as much of a guitar nerd as the previous authors, so i can't say much about the tuning and stuff :) what i can say is that i'm impressed, of course, by the technique, but also that i like some parts of the song a lot. i will listen to it again i think.

[andybohadana]

what ever!!!!!

[xxxslayerxxx666]

this is good i like your use of artificial and natural harmonics....is that an ibanez?

[Poopfemur]

yes it's an EW20SMENT wonderful guitar amazing really
