I never really noticed this subforum before. I reckon I'll put a few of my recordings here for your enjoyment. Many more to come when I have the time. Vivaldi's "Summer" arranged for electric guitar and strings [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jjy8QNTthRc"]summer concerto, 1st movement - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kx2wXcj_gw"]summer concerto, 2nd mvmt - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbameBKMmYo"]summer concerto, 3rd mvmnt.wmv - YouTube[/ame]
Your links are not working properly but i have check these links on another sites. I would like to say thanks to you that you share this post here with us. It was really nice and most interesting songs.
Good technique my friend! All of this reminds me of how much I miss playing guitar :bang: If you don't mind me saying, why don't you add some vibrato in the slower parts? (e.g. the first part of the 1st movement). It would make it more "dynamic" (looking for a better word, but anyway ). Also, I would play around with the tone and pickup regulations and the amplifier effect. I think you can get a sound that suits Vivaldi better, but that's just my opinion. BTW what guitar and amp are you using?
I didn't use much vibrato because I was going for the feeling traditionally used by Vivaldi and his contemporaries (as well as modern interpreters). Generally (very generally) vibrato wasn't that popular till the classical period. Baroque scores are never marked WRT vibrato or senza vibrato, so we modern performers have to make educated guesses and artistic decisions when performing. Even the tempos are vague-which is why every recording of the Four Seasons is at a different tempo. On this recording, played a Jackson dual humbucker guitar (it doesn't have a name, but it's stained back with 2 piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard, as well as chrome hardware and double locking trem if that means anything to you..I usually call it Tatyana) in mid-position selection. The bridge pickup is a SD SH4 JB and the neck is just standard issue SD humbucker. The amp is a Fender Princeton 112+. Since I made that recording, I've customized my fat strat with a seymore duncan SH4 JB in the bridge and fully scalloped neck (and Fender custom tuners). I've also acquired a very interesting signal processor which allows me to program it to automatically transpose up an octave (a setting called "whammy" or something like that). This will be more true to the violin sound, and I will use it when I get around to making a new edition of the Four Seasons. Thanks for listening and making thoughtful comments, btw.
I have not. I don't know many of the local acts, but I listen to stations that play local artists, and I like them. Has Log had his stuff played on KJZZ? I may well have heard him.
Hmm, I couldn't say for sure. I'm from England My sister lives in Tucson though. Bob Log III plays the guitar with his hands and play the drums (Ok, just a bass drum and hi-hat) with his feet. I think he is an incredible artist. Plays slide guitar, kind of funky blues music. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxy8QBhEgWg"]BOB LOG III - BUMP POW! - YouTube[/ame]
