CLIP(S) OF THE MONTH
2008
--- Stick Walking ---
---
When recording the January month’s contribution (celt) I just felt to shoot this one too... I mean, sometimes (very often) you must have fun... not being too serious all the time... This song is “stolen” from the local band Offentlig Sektor and is spiced with a little “animal-attitude”.
What happens when Steve Vai come for a visit? I mean, he must jam – and we have a studio... Perhaps this could be the answer :)
Check last year, same month – and then you will hear the original song...
--- Celt ---
the melody
the inspiration clip

I have discovered Mike Oldfield... :) Anyone you heard about? This month I will share some tricks from the legend... I know the music-police will hunt for blood when hearing these little different versions of the master/legends melody, but the clips are not a 100% copy of the original tones and that's the point, fellows ;-)
First clip suppose to be normal...? I think the clip is sound best when using your fingers only, no pick (finger pluck). But as a training/practice-example it will be good trying it with the pick as well...
Click here for another good demostrated example (from YouTube)
To avoid confusion my guitar is tuned 2 steps down if anyone wonder... I have written the scores in D Major...
The second clip is just a little inspiration piece in the same spirit... or...?
--- Super Mario Theme ---

Inspiration this month is taken from the world of Super Mario, finding on YouTube site...

It could sound like this when arrange a song... These arrangements are from the original songs but without the channels of lead guitars, drums and bass... just pads, brass, pianos and melodies...

This month I will share a radio-hit from my friend Johan Ekfeldt. Enjoy!

High Pitch chop:
Many tones "in a small area", so keep up and watch your fingers - don't lace them up :)
Jimi's Tribute chop:
Another tricky chop but now it's wide distance between tones, so stretch out and breathe in...
--- Studio test... preview and theoretical stuff part II ---
battlefield chop

Battlefield chop:
From the ending part of the song. Many tones and positions to memorize. Focus will be the key and don't try any rock 'n roll poses when trying this chop :)
Night Vision chop:
Very tricky part with many "jumps" between strings and uncomfortable positions
