I've recorded my arrangement of Beethoven's Fur Elise in metal style. Please check it out:

Hope you enjoy it.
Please tell me what do you think about it, and if you think it would be worth making more arrangements of classical music like this one.

Looking forward to hear your opinion!

Interesting...not my cup of tea music. But it's good.

Keep up the good work!

Wow, there's some awesome sweeps in there man. Would be very interested to see you record them for a video so we (ok, I mean me..) can see what the hell you're doing there !!

Good stuff! I always enjoy listening to different renditions of this classic as I did this one. And as far as other arrangements, sure why not? go for it!

I really like it. Fur Elise is one of my favorite classical pieces. What other songs are you going to cover?

Sounds awesome! Should definitely post a video.

Cool! Any chance you might share some of the project files in the thread here so folks can see how something this cool is put together? Maybe a list of software/plugins used? Very well done. It's practicallyl a clinic!

Maybe a collab based on a classical arrangement as well?

Congrats!

Wow! Thank you guys!

I think I'll try to make a video with it, thank you. Maybe a whole youtube channel with metal arrangement of classical music!
About sweeps, these are rather basic patterns, with little tapping. I'm really happy that such guitarist as you said that theese are awesome!



I love classical music, and all kind of renditions And as far as I've noticed a many people like 'modern' arrangement of classical music.



My favourite composers are: Antonio Vivaldi, Ludwig van Beethoven, Niccolò Paganini and Johann Sebastian Bach. So i'm sure it will be something from those genius minds.



Well I used some software as with my previous tracks.

Guitars are recorded with Tone Port (Line6) with Pod Farm.
Bass, string section, piano and choirs are from Halion Software.
Drums are from EZ Drummer with Metal Machine expansion.
And Cubase is my DAW.

Again thank you all for your kind words.

I'm impressed mate! You did an amazing version of this classical piece. There are many great licks and shred ideas on it. I also agree that it would be very useful if you post a video and share your experience on how you worked on this arrangement.

Thank you all! Sorry about delay - I was on vacation this week.

Again, I'll try to make a video with me playing this arrangement.

About sweeps, well, I don't know maybe its because this sweep is really fast? Maybe that is why it sounds like sega
