Arrangement of Tyler J. Wetherbee's "Little Piece in G Major" for Violin and Electric Guitar
After nearly a year I decided to actually go through with recording my arrangement of Tyler J. Wetherbee's exceptional "Little Piece in G Major" which he was kind enough to share with me. His original recording can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EOClCbl5gk which I most certainly recommend over my own. Despite the nearly year-long time period I had to practice and properly refine my performance of this beautiful piece, I cannot say I am satisfied by the end result. I suppose I must have squandered most of it, and the technical deficiencies present both in my equipment and editing skills certainly did not help. But alas, as I've said before, this channel is an archive meant to document my progress-- and that includes the many mistakes made along the way. I definitely hope to return to and rerecord this piece at some later date, possessing perhaps finer equipment and skill. I suppose I should mention the guitar audio is not a single continuous performance but was instead stitched together from multiple recordings, hence some of the peculiarities of it. Being it the case that I do not play guitar regularly, I am not at all proficient at it, and though I did learn the composition all the way through some months back, I did not want to delay this recording any longer repeating that process. Originally, this was arranged to be played at a quicker tempo, but, partially due to skill issues, as well as an acquired liking for this mellower pace, I opted for a slower performance. A second guitar was also meant to play at certain parts and an additional few notes were written for it, but I ultimately decided against adding even more chaos to this terrible mix. However, if anyone'd like to have a go at that, the arrangement is available here: https://musescore.com/user/39010415/scores/8050836 . The distorted effect indicated for the second guitar may come across as odd and out of place at first, but it was inspired in part by Virgil Fox's rendition of "Sleepers Wake" which features the harsher timbre of the reeds as a contrast to the rest of the organ's registers. At any rate, thank you all for listening, and many, many thanks to Tyler J. Wetherbee in particular for allowing me to butcher his fine composition!
