Special thanks to fellow YouTube user MattsPath for his transcription of this epic section of Rachmaninov's Piano Prelude in C# Minor.

Rachmaninov is a musician I've long been a huge fan of and who's material I've always wanted to play. Matt's transcription gave me the tools to work on it.

This took me about two days of work. I started the metronome at 60 BPM, and working the speed up wasn't a total nightmare, but at the same time there are a number of string skips in this tune that are kind of funky and not so easy.

  • you didnt get the definition of shredding

  • @Eprocadation Shedding. Not shRedding. Like woodshedding - i.e: practicing.

  • very nice :) just started trying to learn this

  • @RichardMisiak Haha thanks bro, it's not that tough once you get into it. I've lost my touch for it since I haven't played it in a while but I remember it wasn't that bad when I was learning it.

  • @charlesneedham damn my bad

  • @ratamacu3 Yessir, inbox me an email address and I will get the full version to you that Mr. Matt finished up. I was playing this off the partial.

  • @charlesneedham is there a chance you could hook me up with this transcription?

  • Congrats man! Not many peeps in the world would take the time to transcribe Rachmaninov for an internet "stranger". Matt has the heart of teddy bear......lined with sharks teeth.  :)

    Keep it up brutha.

  • @MattsPath Cheers man, couldn't have done it without your transcription. Thanks again.
