uhm,.....yeah.
Anyway, that\'s the \'classical\' version and you can play it along with the movie on an acoustic and play the theme and the bass at the same time. The theme kinda blows without the bass notes giving it that truly creepy vibe. Plus you have contrary motion. The melody descends chromatically while the bassline ascends. Very cool.
Kids these days with thier distortion pedals. *hides my distortion pedal*
Why in my day we had to overdrive the amp and get REAL distortion, not this high fangled ka-luting digital signal processing she-at. Tube amps and a hell of alot of volume I tells ya.
Anyhow, I hope someone gets something out of it. A friend showed me an electric guitar transcription of the theme tonight off another website and it was just awful and wrong. I\'ll never understand why people arrange things for 2 guitars when 1 guitar can play all the parts just fine. It\'s almost like some people think it\'d be a shame for people to learn more about thier guitar and grow as players.
Kurt Cobain did 2 things for guitar I\'ve noticed. One good, one bad. On one hand he inspired alot of kids to pick the instrument up when they may never have done so, on the other hand, too many kids think all you gotta know how to do is play a power chord with tons of distortion and hit the strings really hard.
You can play the entire theme on one guitar with your right hand fingers and no distortion and it sounds great.
