I’ve been learning this piece for external entry into my grade 8. I found the pieces in the book really dull and thought I might as well take the exams with some pieces that are a bit more challenging! This is recorded from the emulated output of my Behringer LX1200H into a Tascam US-1641 interface and then Logic 9. I played along side the original song for this cover (thanks AAL), but will make a backing track for when I record/produce the full cover. It’s been the first thing I’ve learned that has SERIOUSLY challenged me, in that I’ve had to take it down to an impossibly slow speed and just learn it note-by-note, slowly building up tempo to get the sweeps and licks up to speed. Sweeping on more than 3 strings was completely new to me, so I found skipping to 7 quite tricky. Nonetheless, I’ll persevere and release a full cover (maybe even full band with my brother), as soon as I can! This is also my first video using all 8 strings of my beautiful Schecter Hellraiser C-8. I love this guitar more than any I’ve ever played and if you haven’t, go check out Schecter guitars as you may find yourself converted!
