It is what it is. I did my best. The guitar is a Carvin DC747.

  • Brian, as a friend and former roommate, I have to say I am glad that you have finally made this piece come alive. I remember you punching walls and pulling alley cat's intestines apart to make it right. Bravo Brian...Bravo!

  • That was just Unbelievable.

  • Amazing playing man! Found you on Vahe's page!

  • @larkinguitar I did. I am looking for a tab as I mentioned in my message. I want to lean it

  • True Brian,

    It is worth mentioning that I only reached the first part of the Moto Perpetuo. But when I saw Yehudi Menuhin playing the violin the "Moto Perpetuo" at 200 bpm I thought I could do the same on the guitar, without Ligatos, but pure "Up & Down"from my pick. But it is true, in my best moments I did not go beyond 120 bpm. So I'll keep that speed and complete all learning the subject. This will be even more convenient and probably less harmful, as you say.

    Thanks for your response.

  • @oscaronorato Very kind words. Thank you! "Allegro vivace" is always open to interpretation, isn't it? I think 150-160 is fast enough for this piece... Doing this at 200bpm probably would have given me carpal tunnel and/or tendonitis and/or brain damage.
