A Whiter Shade of Pale - Appendix A

Here´s a partly developed way of playing the theme, a bit trickier than my original arr. However, give it some work and I think it feels and sounds more smooth. I also squeezed in the little counterpoint(?) thing at the end. Played on a Maton EBG808 Artist.

Your so good, aawh!! Is that a Vox AC15 in the right corner?

[pinofluvius]

Thank you Lars!

Nah, I wish :) It´s a new quite cheap transistor amp called Pathfinder 15 R, but it sounds pretty good!

Sounds Great, Really like the full version you do, do you have the tabs or music for this? Would really love to learn this on the guitar.

[pinofluvius]

Thanks, oh yes - the tab is at my website, check video info :)

hey martin, have you tried arranging the whole song with this kind of style? I think this is a really unique sound, I've been pretty much playing this on my guitar non stop for the last year or so. and also for this kind of playing style, i think it is best to record without any reverb (like it is in this video) so that the audience can really hear how the notes ring into each other naturally. Sometimes people may just think it is a special effect. again, beautiful job!

I heard Julian Bream play that in a concert long ago. I would say you two are are neck and neck when it come to finger picking styles.Well done!

love this variation but that stretch between first and 2nd fingers when the bass drops to d omg!!!! how do you do it man lol!! thats just awesome

Great news...can't wait for the CD!  By the way, your section with all the harmonics is beyond beautiful. Incredibly fluid, almost like a harp.

[pinofluvius]

I´m not sure yet, I might play the 2nd half of this only after the harmonics theme...

I´m planning to do a cd, and the final version isn´t recorded yet, so it´s still an open case :)

[yipmicha]

ah so you play this just as intro and the rest as before
