Default Don't Fear the Reaper - Classical Fingerstyle

Don't Fear the Reaper.....kind of happy with this minus the fretboard noise.

Lucero LC200S classical. Solid Cedar Top and Indian Rosewood back/sides. When I got this it played just as well, if not better than the Cordoba C7 at half the price. Guitar Center did a great job with their house brand classical.

Nice dude! Great job on the arrangement. And for everyone's sake I'll refrain from making a cowbell joke

Excellent! Very well played. I could have used just a little more volume, but that was some very nice fingerstyle...

Good version! I was waiting to see if you did the second strain, and at about 2:40 or so, sure enough, you did. For that section's contrast value you could consider repeating that 2nd section or even adding some free interpretation or artificial harmonics.

Nice job. That's one of the last songs I would expect to hear on an acoustic, lol. You pulled it off well.

Thank you so much for listening everyone!

There's a lot that can be done to fatten this up some, but with my experience and skill level (and just coming back to playing after like 3-4 years), I'm okay with this.

I'm always looking for ways to improve and add some more techniques, so I'll take all the advice here for future arrangements!

And yes.....I do think it needs more cowbell.

Nice job on that Joe. Kind of cool to hear that song on a classical guitar.

Default Great stuff

I don't suppose you have tabs, by chance. I'd like to play it.

Thanks for the continued support.

VTexan, it's just my chicken scratch for parts that I had a really hard time remembering, but the arrangement can be found in this particular book --
