  • This is my arrangement of another Ludovico Einaudi tune. The fact that this tune only consists of four chords shows his absolute genius! A transcription is available free from my website www.lescheetham.com

    This is seriously genius. When I heard the original (in Piano), I never would have imagined someone could it play so beautifuly in Guitar. Bravo, man! Respect for you.

    Thanks for your comment, Harry. Unfortunately the company that put my music on Itunes put their fees up massively - so I decided not to renew. I think that if you are paying more money to have music on Itunes than you make from it it's probably an idea to stop!!! I will be updating my website in the near future and offering tracks as free downloads.
    Cheers,
    Les.

    It's not really the learning that takes the time to be honest, it's the arranging of melody, chords and bass line so that it fits into the smaller range of the guitar!

    Lost my grandpa last December, listened to this track right away. Had the cry of my life, and everytime I listen to it I just cant keep up inside, either its piano, guitar, whatever. The arrangement and progression of the track speaks for itself, its like a story told by the sound of music. Thank you for this.

    I purchased your tablature over a year ago, in hopes that I would one day learn to play this song. I just played this video for my three month old son, and he was rapt. I just wanted to say how beautiful this arrangement is, and that it gives me a quiet kind of joy to listen to. I don't know if I'll ever be able to play it, but it would be a lifetime achievement.

    • @AxelTabbertFrylestam
      @AxelTabbertFrylestam 8 лет назад +3

      It's actually easier than it seems, you basically play the same 4 chords over and over again but with different taps, except the main solo and beginning (those are easy) if you've played guitar for a while you will master it in a week ;)
      Good luck!

    I think the hardest part that I have, being self-taught, is choosing the right chord shapes to make this easier to play rather than harder. I think I just need to watch this over and over, and then practice and write down the hand positions to go with the tablature (which I purchased years ago, thank you for making this available).

I was the happiest person on the world. But, a lot of arguments happened between both our families especially mine. And now I lost her. For me it would be better and less painful if she said I don't want you. But having others decide your fate is the WORST. I still LOVE YOU [D] 💔
