Dam... No matter how many times I press the replay button your playing makes time fly by so fast. I know it may be a six minute and 12 second vid but I always felt it was only two minutes. Beautiful played out music.
I've been watching your YouTube videos, and they're really inspiring!
You may or may not remember me; I was a student at Bishop's in the mid-80's, and in our guitar lessons, we sometimes spoke of musical performances involving "burgers with teeth".
Please let me know if you remember. Thank you for all the wonderful videos of music performances!
It's funny though, cuz everybody thinks that the best guitar players are the ones with all solos and shredding, but those who play this kind of guitar are technically speaking the most skilled guitar players. AND THATS A FACT!
Actually, it can be done, but the octaves that I have put in for the melody would have to be in the same register. Also the first ostinato(the repeated original violin part) melody would have to be simplified. Some of the percussive effects would also have to be more sparingly used.
The three chords in the tune are: D5, C, and F. I play it in dropped "D" tuning Many people have asked for tabs and I always use standard notation. What I did was get the violin melody in notation and then added all the other parts from listening to the score. It's not exactly the same as the version in the movie. Instead of tabbing a part, I'm going to post a video that shows how to play all the parts
Bravooo!
