Time to butcher some classical music...!!!

The timing in this piece was a real challenge, but I've always loved it...!!!

One of these days I'll take the time to polish it up...

Here is a sample of what I got so far...!!!

Sorry for the mistakes and bad notes...

Adagio.mp3

Cheers
Ben

Ah Ben. That ain't chopped liver. That was gorgeous. Can't wait till you have it finished. Your way to hard on yourself.

Thanks peeps...!!!

My mistakes are glaring and I flinch when I hear them, But if I try to correct them, for
some reason I end up making matters worse...!!!

Cheers
Ben

Butcher? I like mine medium rare! Very haunting sound NoCat. You inject so much expression into your songs that they never sound flat or dull, always invoking one feeling or another. You are one cool cat!

Bro - if I could butcher a piece with half as many "mistakes" I'd be one happy guitarist!!!

That was really beautiful Ben! The playing and recording was haunting and this is going into my mp3 player!

Amazing

Ben, as a butcher you're absolutely useless. Fortunately, for us. you're a true musician, with a great expressive talent. Well done!

An unusual rendition Ben, but very enjoyable none the less. You'd think that a strummed guitar would be totally inappropriate for this composition but, as usual, you managed to pull it off. The string arrangement you have is also a nice addition, quite subtle, and the pipe organ is just killer. The Beast with five fingers.

Hauntingly beautiful.
