NOTE: NO TABS ARE AVAILABLE OF MY VERSION! THIS IS MOSTLY IMPROVISED IN THE KEY OF G MINOR!

This is a recent re-recording of me playing a (now less, but still somewhat improvised) beautiful piece known as "Lux Aeterna", which was written by Clint Mansell and originally perfomed by the Kronos Quartet in the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack. Go buy the soundtrack right now, and don't forget to pick up the movie, too :)

Video recorded using a Canon Powershot A560. Guitars recorded using my home-built PC & studio setup. Backing instrumental is NOT the original - it was sequenced in Reason 2.5 way back in the day (2 to 2.5 years ago since the recording of this, IIRC). I tried to stay true to the original instrumentation, but changed some strings to piano (sequenced strings just don't cut it in the earlier parts), and did the percussion to suit my own tastes at the time (I prefer Clint's, honestly).

The performance isn't perfect, but it felt right to me, so I went ahead and stuck with this take out of the 2 I did. One missed note near the end (half a step up on a hammer-on) is the only real biggy.
