A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Any classical fans here?

The very first riff he plays is one of my favorite songs but for some reason I still don't know the name or composer. It's a total rocker though.



Heh side note, my mom (a classically trained pianist) always said Bach was basically hard rock.

Beethoven Ode de Joy .

THANK you.

Oh man.

I remember vocaling this song to my dad in high school and he said well I can tell by the structure you're doing it right but I don't know the song. Should have asked mom, hehehe.

Except it sounds nothing whatever like "Ode to Joy" once he applies "violin technique" Yuck!



This video was actually made as part of a TV commercial for Banc De Sabadell, but it still brings tears to my eyes every time I watch/listen to it!

If one's goal was to approach the guitar like a violin, I'd say the first step would be to rip all the frets out.

Also, I don't know when that video was made, but doesn't Yngwie look like he's morphing into Mark Slaughter?
