Hi guys !

I don't know why, but I really needed to share this story with you. smile.gif

Yesterday, like everyday, I was listening to my music and I got a strange feeling... Just like when you discover that, for example, you were reading someone's name wrong for many years... Well thats kind of what happened yesterday. I was listening to Mirror Mirror, on my Blind Guardian playlist, and there was like an unusual sound, something I've "never" never heard of before.

During the chorus, there is a strange bends, that my ears never "heard" about laugh.gif I've listened to this song more than 100 times, but I've never heard about those bends. And from now, the chorus gives me goosebumps, it's amazing. Its strange to listen to the same song "differently".

By the way, I don't know if you guys know that band, but what is this song tuned in ? I really need to play it. The medieval feeling in this song is amazing. If only I could create a band.. rolleyes.gif

Am I the only one who had a different perspective of something like that ? I'm curious ! biggrin.gif


Here is the song. Chorus at 1:04 smile.gif Enjoy !

All our guitars are tuned half a step down, so we are talking about the D# tuning. Well, there is one exception, on our debut album we still used the standard tuning, but ever since Follow the blind we are tuned down. And by the way you made me very curious about this bend that you discovered... I don't know how many times we have played this song so far, and still I have no idea what the hell you are talking about smile.gif Maybe I should listen to the studio version for a change and rediscover it myself wink.gif

I'm still a bit confused as my guitar is in standard and I made sure it was in tune with the tuner but those chords seemed to correspond with those chords I wrote above...?? Maybe the Youtuber slightly changed the pitch of the video, that would make sense smile.gif
