Sabre Dance

[szunvukung]

This is a very good arrangement, and this is my ringtone on my phone since 1 year! :)

I have got sometimes questions, ,,what is that? :) And last time,

my cousin did not believe me, that this is played just by one guitarrist :) I told him, playing this, you have to be a great master. :)

Best regards!

Gergely

ps: i hope you will upload soon some new pieces!

[1edkihm]

Thank you very much @szunvukung It's a custom made 12 string guitar built by the late John Zeidler in 1984

[gunnersatl]

Beautiful. Great work.

Do you prefer the sound from the 6 or 12 string?

[1edkihm]

Thank you gunnersatl, I really like the sound of the 12 and it has really defined my playing style.

[RJCM85]

OMG!!! Sabre dance In guitar, no lo creia posible

[1edkihm]

Thank you RJCM85

[falsepride]

What a great interpretation of this great piece! I can't believe that some on played this on guitar.

[1edkihm]

Thank you very much fasepride

[ohsnosbuddy]

Never cease to impress 1edkihm! Do you use your fingers or do you put those little pick things on the end of them haha?

[1edkihm]

Thank you ohsnosbuddy, just a little bit of finger nail, they can't be too long or it slows you down. I never liked those plastic finger picks, too squeaky of a sound and you can't really feel the strings.

[MLGxBXRxPRO]

WOAH NICE THATS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE 5/5

[1edkihm]

Thank you MLGxBXRxPRO, it takes some coffee to get the speed.

[xlaym]

im a huge fan of 12 string guitars, but i guess this piece would sound better on a 6 string.

GREAT playing tho

[1edkihm]

...maybe, you would have to try it and see.

Thank you xlaym

[xlaym]

could u have a try? im far too bad at guitar to play this xD

[KeithIsPissedOffabiX]

That was great stuff.

[1edkihm]

Thank you Keith

[ziotore]

awesome!!

[1edkihm]

Thank you ziotore

[Abina34]

Excellent, very professional. This is the first time I hear it on the guitar, and I know it's a difficult piece. But it would be good to play it with more fire in it. It's a little monotonous

[JesseGuitar07]

that was awesome:)

love your work. post more please.

jesse

Also, When you say play in public. What forms of public entertainment have you done so far?

[diegoguitarrista]

Awesome!!!!! \o/

[swupstik]

Besides matching the intensity of a whole orchestra, you've accomplished another impossible task: mimicking both the xylophone and the trombone with the same instrument. At the same time. What could you not do, man? :-)

[puika1987]

Great one. This is quite intense song I would say......:-)

[Shannon23455]

I think something has possessed your fingers. LOL... Awesome playing mate.

[Silvianoshei]

Incredibly well crafted, especially the end!

[rkleynberg]

[Pslekingjp]

Awsome ! i like this !

[eproductions2008]

awesomeness as usual.....i want to invest in a 12 string. ive been playing for 7 years and i make a decent living off of it, any suggestions before i purchase?

[thormaxtwo]

Martin... all i can say :P They run around here for about $1200 but it's really worth it. but it is a lot harder to play. it takes some real getting use to.

[eproductions2008]

im very used to it, my fellow band mate owns one that i use, i just wanted one for myself lol

[thormaxtwo]

Yeah i bought one about a year ago. It took me about 3 months just to get use to the thing lol. But yeah. Good luck saving up for one.

[eproductions2008]

i'll probably get a just keep using my old eds 1275, thanks anyway

[ninjapiratehybrid]

[TraniXz]

I adore your techniques and your work Ed!

[fire9910]

Amazing...

[FunkMasterFlex3]

O_o

Its amazing that you can make all those different notes with one guitar, even if it is a 12-string its still unbelievable.

[reakhavic]

wow this is amazing is there any way you can post sumthing about finger picking exercises, i know im nowhere near this skill level. it sounds so good

[KarloR27]

Nice Ed. When I saw the title I didn't know what the tune was but I know it now I heard it years ago.
