GMC Forum _ Uploads _ Yngwie Malmsteen - Amberdawn

Posted by: Alexiaden93 Nov 1 2009, 04:44 AM

Once again I got inspired by Marcus Lavendell's playing, and so I had to quickly learn Amberdawn yesterday and record a take. I know it's very inappropriate to record a take of a song which I only know half of poorly... Still, I will use this as a reference for my next upload of the song !

Any comment greatly appreciated, although I am fully aware of horrible synch between audio and video, mistakes etc.

Alexander

EDIT
Backing track and tabs can be found below...

Hi Alex,
Your song choice is great I love this track and you did a great job Yngwie is never easy and your sound was pretty spot on too, the only comment I would make ( In my humble opinion) is your vibrato when you get to the top end probably needs to be more pronounced and wider, apart from that I wanted you to carry on.
As I would like to attempt this are you able to point me to the BT and Tabs as I am a Yngwie fan also.
Tony

Thank you Tony !

I am working on my vibrato, and I'm not surprised you noticed...

In a matter of fact, I could post the tabs and backing track under the video in the main post...

I'll post it in the original version (tuned 1/2 step down) and you can change the tuning in GP5. The backing is in standard tuning, so you won't need to retune your guitar...

Sounds nice. Practice your bends as well, and itll be good ^^
I don't think you can post the tabs here on the forum though.

Hi Alex,
Thanks very much for the links, looks like being a few weeks of slaving over a hot scale. Nice one.
Regards Tony

No problem Tony !

If you are going to practise the song, I recommend checking out Marcus Lavendell's channel, where his most recent video is a take of Amberdawn, but the full song, including solos etc.

Enjoy !

Thanks again Alex.
Any ideas why Marcus went away early this year then came back and now gone again? I liked his stuff.

I guess it's like drugs... Really nice to have, but hard to get...

I don't do drugs by the way xD
