[moetyman]

is there a download for this?

[smalin]

@moetyman Sorry, no, I don't think so. It's on Edwards' CD, which you can get on his web site, but I don't think it's available separately.

[ZachsSmirkingRevenge]

@smalin, I do not see a "Rite of Spring" on your Channel. I would greatly appreciate it!

[smalin]

@ZachsSmirkingRevenge So would I.

[kilerfreeride]

hey is this in standard tuning as i t doesn't say on the music sheet pdf?



[smalin]

@kilerfreeride You can figure this out from the score; look at the first 6th-string note.

[colyerT]

That brought a tear to my eye. Thank you very much.

I think it's amazing what these classical guitarists can do, but this piece sounds better on piano.

@ZachsSmirkingRevenge do a search for stravinsky rite of spring it should pop up.

Does anyone hear the spiderman theme (movie) by Danny Elfman at 1:55-2:05? Maybe Danny got a little inspiration. I mentioned this on smalin's piano music video (same Clair de lune) as well but was interested in other responses and opinions.
