Default Forever Young - Alphaville (Martin Tallstrom arr.)

Hi all,

Here's my attempt of Forever Young, originally by Alphaville. This arrangement is from the great Martin Tallstrom. Thanks for listening!

Very good job!
Learning this one as we speak. The timing is actually a bit trickier that it seems, and you've done the tune justice.
Big fan of MT's work, he has such a great touch and sense of dynamics.
Cheers,
Tom

Wow. Not a tune I would have expected for fingerstyle, but that was great. Neat arrangement and beautiful execution!

Thanks for sharing

Cheers!

Dave

Good job. Arrangement wise a frequent problem with making an instrumental piece from a vocal pop tune is repetitiveness.
With vocals you can get away with more of that due to listening to the lyrics (hopefully decent lyrics). I would have liked Martin
Tallstrom's arrangement to have varied things more.
