One word: hybrid picking! • First off, here's the links to the tab. • GP5: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bjI2... • PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IuWa... • Since I deleted the previous version of this video and didn't save the description I now have to improvise a new one. Damn. Well I wanted to see if I can include a tab into the video and I also wanted to reamp the audio again and fix some minor stuff. Didn't include the tab in the end, just too much work, but reamped the signal and added more reverb. • I totally forgot to mention that this will be the last video for a while. I did the last three videos because I had two weeks off from work. This piece was also planned for a while and I always save those things for vacation. That's done now and I don't have anything else planned nor any motivation or interest for something else. • Just wanted to give you guys a heads up! • So about this piece. Well, I started arranging some classical pieces as a sort of personal exercise for various reasons. To further learn music theory and apply that to the fretboard, to learn a classical piece of music and to arrange it in my personal guitar style to further strengthen that as well. Those were actually my goals. The playing is the least interesting part of it. My biggest interest was just coming up with my own fingerings and to think about how to play something in my style. Basically the same process I have when I write something original. • The music theory was not as deep as you might think. I'm not a big theory nerd anyway so I usually try to keep things easy for myself. And even with my limited music theory I understood the key changes here. But what I wanted to do was just getting better navigating around the fretboard and being more aware all the possibilites of one simple melody or chord. So what I did was just learning the piece from the sheet music and after that just spending a lot of time on the guitar. Guitar pro was just an archive tool. Sound and tone were very important to me, so I did play through all variations I had to find the best sounding one. And I also played in those different keys for a while to get more familiar with those. • My original goal was to play this with a cleaner crunch tone for all the dynamics. But that proved to be harder than I thought even on a slower tempo. So I just settled for faster but somewhat easier shred version. You know, the stuff I usually hate haha. But that allowed me to play some easier fingerings. • The common theme of my arrangement is actually build around playing everything with hybrid picking. There's a few specific picking patterns that I've been using for a few years now. For example the arpeggio at 0:30 There would be plenty of better ways to play it but it features one type of picking pattern that's really common for me for a few years now. It does sound better on clean tones though, since you can let some notes ring through. The section at 0:09 would also be more suitable for tapping but then again, those kind of hybrid picking patterns are my thing right now. • The mid section has a sort of improvised shred part in it. That's probably the biggest change to the original piece, and the most creative change as well. The first alternate picked run is actually almost identical but just played faster with a few filler tremolo picked notes. But the second run introduces a few new notes. It's a dissonant chord which I liked when I played around with that section. Fun fact: the original crunch tone version also included the same shred part. It also worked with less gain. • That's it for the description. I know the original description went more in-depth with the parts but that was just confusing. If you have any specific questions, just ask them in the comments! • Like I said above, I'm basically taking another hiatus. All the reaons would be great for another description but in short, I'm currently a bit aimless and disillusioned with all this music stuff to be super honest. And I'm also tired of it. I mean, you can read about some of it in the description of my last Defeated Sanity video. • Anyway, enjoy the video and learning this piece :)
