How do I play it? Tremolo picking?

If you want, you could tab it for me :)

[Josh Redstone]

Sounds like some kind of tremolo picking, with some legato playing in there maybe, I dunno. I've never really heard anything being played like that before, that peice sounds like it should be played on a piano or something, ya know?

[SLY]

It sounds like a classic or spanish piece , I don't know it's name , but I figured out the first part, it's played by classic finger picking style.

Copy the tab line and paste in a text file to view correctly.

That's for the picking hand.

tnx :)

btw, it's from the song "jason becker - 24th caprice"

really nice song! and _really_ difficult.

[SLY]

Yeah right , it's the Paganini's 24th caprice ... I knew it's something familiar. :)

But this version is not by Jason Becker , I have the same exact version with 2 different file names , one says it's Becker and the other says it's Andres Segovia (an old spanish guitarist)... Anyway, it sounds more like Segovia than Becker.

By the way , in the original (violin) version , this part isn't that hard , it's played as straight chords instead of these arpeggios that incorporates a little complicated classic finger picking style.

[Satriani85]

ok! do you know about other great songs of Andres Segovia ?

[SLY]

Malaguena , Leyenda ... Both ain't of his original writings by the way.
I can't think of more right now , try searching for cds or mp3s , I'm sure you'll find lots of good stuff.
