    'Moonlight Sonata' composed by Beethoven
    Hey guys! :D
    Here's one of the hardest songs I've played on the classical guitar. It consists of billions of bar chords that tire me out lol xD
    I tried recording this a long time ago, after a week of practicing this song, but it literally sucked so I just deleted that take.
    After like 2 more weeks, I tried it again in one take, and it turned out all right.
    This was the take, and I'm satisfied with it! Since I'm not a pro, I guess it doesn't really matter if it's perfect or not.
    I was in Virginia for the past week so I was not able to upload a video since the hotel we stayed at had the worst service. I literally had to wait like 5 hours for a video to upload. However, the videos that were "uploaded" turned out to fail to get on youtube. So I'm now back home, and I uploaded this video. It took way shorter than 5 hours back here in my house. Around 30 minutes lol xDD Although the internet service there was bad, I had fun there. I got to drive a go-kart in Motor World! :D My first time driving a vehicle. :)
    I just wanted to mention that I learned a lot of how to play this song by watching Eric Henderson's video of this song. I mean I learned the notes by reading the sheet music, but I learned like techniques and better fingerings by watching his video. You should check him out here:
    • 'Moonlight Sonata' per...
    He's great! :D
    Here's the sheet music too if you'd like to learn this song. This is the sheet music I used. However, I have changed some stuff to make it easier for me to play by watching Eric Henderson's video. :) He played some of it differently from the sheet music. Here is the sheet music:

    Anyways, I hope you guys like this vid, and I'll see you guys soon!
    Thanks so much!!

    This may be the cleanest version of Moonlight Sonata on guitar I have ever heard. It's absolutely amazing. I'm so glad he resisted the temptation to do his signature "slappy tappy" thing. Honestly that technique is so overused now (among a lot of young guitarists). It actually can be quite distracting and unpleasant (IMO). This Moonlight Sonata rendition shows how beautiful solo guitar work can be without a slap or tap to be found. 😉

  • @sungminleeguitars
    @sungminleeguitars  12 лет назад

    Thanks! Lol xD I don't know. I think it's cause I used to play steel string. I think it required lots of power in the fingers to make a rich sound on the steel string guitar. I'm used to playing with more power in the fingers, and since classical guitar strings require less power than steel string, it sounds louder. I think that's what it is... haha xD

    I just listened to every moonlight sonata guitar version i could find, and I tie you with first place. The most difficult part of the song seams to be at 3:00. There is only a little more emphasis needed on the one base note there. It sounded beautiful though, don't think i am too critical, I will stop in to listen to more of your work soon
