Forever Young - Fingerstyle guitar arrangement by Martin Tallstrom

[infizzable]

haha very good job, but i just noticed as i was trying to play along, and you missed a little section before 1:10, where you are suppose to repeat the chorus one more time

[gabbs74]

Excellent!

[myroyaldie2]

I'm practicing now and my piece sounds like a piece of mosey. Kinda stuck at 0:21 is where I stopped. It doesn't sound too much similar but pretty close. Using classical guitar w/ nylon strings, seems that doesn't make it so lyrical doesn't it?) :S Is it possible to put elixir strings or some fancy steel strings on my classical Harmonia?)

[Aarrmehearties]

@myroyaldie2 No, classical guitars cannot take the extra tension of steel strings, you will destroy your guitar.

@myroyaldie2

I just saw you comment i dunno if its to late or if you allready find you answer but no.. You cant put steel strings on a nylon stringed guitar. A steel string guitar and nylon string guitar is built in so different ways. the string steels would break you nylon string very fast. If you want the beautiful tone of steel strings you will have to get a steel string guitar ;) best of luck this is awesome arrangement of Martin!

[myroyaldie2]

Wow, your play as good as him... How long did it take you to practice that good?) Sorry bad English.. I hope understand)

[nikandy]

@myroyaldie2 Thanks! But I'm no even near Martins ability ;-). I seem to recall that I worked on that song for about 30 hours (an hour more or less every day for a month). Give it a try! Go slow and take one part at a time.

[myroyaldie2]

@nikandy Oh, does it take like one hour to memorize a section for you, because I keep failing to memorize a single piece?) I'll start practicing a piece everyday, and ask if it take's more or less than one hour a day. ))

[nikandy]

@myroyaldie2 I started out with the tabs to figure out how to position my fingers. But about half way, when I more or less got the tabs down I just listened to the original over and over again (repeat in my MP3) until I could hum the whole piece by heart. What I did then was to play through the whole piece every time, even though I failed at some sections. Then I went back and repeated that section.

Amaziingggg!! 5/5 *Thums Up* Wow :D

[PyewPyew]

Wow, this is amazing,

true to the tab, (except that passage on the chorus :P) This is really going to help me learn,

Any tips? learnt the first 2 pages already, and only struggling a small bit, trying to get into fingerstyle.

[nikandy]

@PyewPyew Thank's! Just stick with it. Take one part at a time and start slowly. Cheers

[NEEDHELPBBOYING]

[nikandy]

Thanks! Tabs are on Tallstrom's Web page (and btw, check out his other stuff as well - amazing!) CHEERS - Niklas

Is that guitar a Keller? It and your playing are great!

[nikandy]

Thanks for the compliment! No, it's a Stonebridge GS23CR - great Czech handmade instrument - Cheers

[pinofluvius]

Hej Niklas, toppenbra version! Tack!

Jag tycker du gör den väldigt fint, med bra flyt och låter tonerna klinga vackert ihop, precis som det ska vara.

Great work, keep it up!
