- Here is the guitar part to Bless The Child by Nightwish, from their 4th album Century Child. Enjoy!
I find there is a lot to appreciate in every Nightwish song. Here is a brief analysis going over some exciting goodies you may not have noticed:
0:39 - The guitars and bass groove an E pedal while the strings change chords on top (Em - D/E - G/E - D/E - Em - Dsus/E - D/E || Em - D/E - A/E - D/E - Dsus/E - D/E). The A major makes this section in E Dorian. After this cycle repeats, the key modulates a whole step down to D Dorian.
2:42 - The time signature has changed to 3/4 with this string interlude. After the whole band (and choir) kicks in, the implied chords are: Dm - Am/D - Gm/D - Dm - C. The Gm darkens the song from a Dorian feel to an Aeolian (Minor) feel. One measure of 4/4 appears right before the lyric comes in.
2:54 - During this bridge, the chords change every 3 beats (continuing the previous 3/4 feel) while the drums are actually playing a groove in 4/4. The vocal melody brilliantly ties both together. The whole section is in D Aeolian (Minor), in contrast to most of the songs consistent Dorian feel. The slight modulation keeps the song consistent, while making the new section more dramatic/serious.
3:18 - The band agrees on the 3/4 time feel. The strings come in, with what I consider a counter rhythm, as their 16th notes come right after the guitar/bass 16th notes. I guess I find it interesting that the guitars don't just follow the exact rhythm of the string melody line.
3:47 - The orchestra is responsible for this great cluster, building a theatrical amount of tension. From what I can make out, it's an A7add#9,b13 (but there is probably a lot more going on than I can detect).

Fantastic Cover!!! Greetings From Azores Portugal
Fantastic as always. I look forward to every song. Appreciate the analysis of the song as well.
hello, what tuning is it in sir?
Hello! Bless The Child is in D standard (Entire Guitar a whole step below E)
First 3 Nightwish records are in E standard. The rest are in D standard.
Bonus: The song "The Islander" is in drop B (C# standard with the lowest string dropped to B)
E
The only thing I can complain about is tone. I just hate active pickups. And the way you dialed them makes it a little bit over the top for me. The rest is fine. Keep up the good work.
PS. You make faces like Rachelf.
very good, played really clean, keep it up!
check out my very latest, you'll love it! and have a nice day my friend!
