Hi GMC-ers and welcome to yet another Satch cover-attempt. It is the time for Satch's hypnotical composition, named "The Forgotten pt.2".
This song is the 15th track from Satriani's third in a row album, entitled "Flying in a Blue Dream" This CD is my-all-time-favorite album, as I decided to be a lead guitarist after hearing this brilliant album.
The first thing the listener will notice listening to this track is it's hypnotical power that can drag it's listener to a state of euphoria of some sort.
The composition is fairly easy to play at first glance,however it requires a sophisticated phrasing technique. Satch uses a note-and-a-half bends, legato and his trademark whammy technique to deliver his message through this composition. This technique will be explained below the video that shows it.
The structure of the song is simple,and is as follows:
Main Theme ( Bar 01-16 )
Bridge ( Bar 17-32 )
Solo ( Bar 33-48 )
Bridge ( Bar 49-64 )
Main Theme ( Bar 65-82 )
Outro ( Bar 83-99 )
The following techniques were used:
Bends
Slides
Phrasing
Legato
Arpeggios
Whammy Bar Action
Volume Knob Action
Have fun!
