And now a little bit about this piece. I was watching an old episode of the Munsters and Eddie Munster was practicing the organ and he happened to play this piece. I couldn’t remember the name of the composer so I researched it. I found it was Chopin, and I researched even further into the sheet music. I downloaded the sheet music for piano and spent a lot of time rearranging it for two guitars. This way I could actually play it if I so chose to do so. When I printed my sheet music and started playing, I liked it so much that I decided to record myself performing both parts.

I spent a looooooong time trying to get the right tone. I started by going direct with my Stratocaster. Then I tried going direct with my Jackson Rhoads guitar. I settled on recording with the Jackson. I then decided to record my guitar through the amplifier. I further decided to do it by micing the guitar cabinet with two different mics thereby blending the two sounds together. I spent even more time positioning the mics just right. You can’t just stick mics in front of the cabinet and be done with it. Things get even more complicated by using two mics because there are phasing issues.

I spent quite awhile recording as I could only spend a small amount of time recording a part before something else came up. But I did finally finish the recording as you can see from my previous blogs. Then I spent a lot of time mixing which is my weakest point. However, I am very impressed with how much I learned by mixing and producing this myself. This is the best sounding recording I have produced so far. I am sure there will be much more and much better to come.

Lastly, the song is yours to download for free if you so choose. It is truly a beautiful piece of music and the beginning of the song is infamous!
