Baroque and Roll - Original Composition by Demigod

Another original composition here, this one was written for my application into the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts or simply LIPA. I am aware the term Baroque and Roll has been used before, I think Malmsteen did a track with the name before and I know there is a website called Baroque and Roll, but hell, this piece has Baroque influence (Harpsichord, lots of trills etc) so it works well. Hope you enjoy it anyway!

i noticed you seem to only play with your thumb behind the neck rather than over it like i do, but everyone tells me not to that on an electric.

anyway i liked it :)

[DemigodDoesNintendo]

@Fiarzen Its considered as bad technique not having the thumb behind the neck, especially if your a classical musician (which I am lol). I would recommended practicing keeping it behind the neck and im sure you will find it much easier to play :)

[Fiarzen]

i play classical guitar aswell but on electric people tell me to have the thumb on top, particularly for bends as apparently otherwise its impossible to do it with just your finger muscles, but thats how i learnt to bend anyway. i guess in the end you should be able to switch between the positions anyway.

@Fiarzen Haha I do all my bends with the thumb still behind :P theres no excuse for being sloppy haha ;) but if it works for you mate then thats all cool!

[DemigodDoesNintendo]

@Fiarzen I was refering mainly to classical playing as thats what I am taught in, losing the thumb off the back of the neck in classical playing is definatly considered sloppy. When I went to my audition at the Royal Welsh College of Music thats one of the things they pointed out, they said it disrupted my equilibrium, and this was from John Mills, one of the top classical guitarists around.

awesome playing and song! what guitar is that? :)

[DemigodDoesNintendo]

Its a custom guitar built by my dad (he is a luthier). Its a Bentley guitar :) (being as my surname is Bentley, it kinda fits for my dad to name his guitars after it aswell)

Haha, I love how you say "I am aware the term Baroque and Roll has been used before, I think Malmsteen .." no....You don't THINK...you KNOW malmsteen had that name haha.
