This recording is a direct result of a topic that Zombre started a few weeks ago regarding sight reading which led me to attempt transposing notation to guitar. I chose a simple version of Fur Elise for Piano and converted the notation to tab. (Enlightening)

After a few weeks of screwing around with this I decided to press record and lay down some tracks. This is what it turned into.

I know my playing is super sloppy and the recording quality is not great but do you think it's a good spin on the tune to play it on guitar this way? I love hearing the classical stuff recorded with heavy guitar like the stuff you hear form Satch and Vai.

I appreciate any comments.

I like it! I love the way the bass notes are played against the lead. It makes it sound more ominous which is pretty cool.

This is the first recording I've used my new bass on. Can you tell how bad I suck at playing it?

I don't know about that. It sound pretty cool to me. Some people try way to hard to make their music antiseptic and in doing so the song can lose it's edginess.
