I haven't had this frustrating a time trying to play a fingerstyle cover since "Aces High" long ago. I'm not turning Japanese after this, I'm turning INSANE, because my fingers and mind are at their limits like never before. I decided to include my near breakdown at the end of the video to give you an idea of how I was feeling. I'm not kidding, this shit was HARD... REALLY, REALLY HARD. Possibly the new hardest song I've ever covered! D:
I'll also admit I did some touching up on the audio after the recording in a couple spots. Nothing major, I just wanted the vocal melodies to shine through as much as possible, and there were a few notes that came out a little muddled. I always feel guilty if I don't mention this!
I hope you all enjoy, and be sure to give your fingers the respect they deserve.
Also, please hit me up with an email (dakumarmusic@gmail.com) if you or anyone you know perhaps wants some lessons! I'm doing them on Skype. I'd be psyched to work something out!
