Big thanks to Dr. Viossy for helping a lot the guitar community by transcribing this piece. I will not sell tabs for this one because the grand majority of what I play here is based on his transcription. So, I'll share with you guys the link where you can buy his tab instead: store.payloadz...

There's a good reason out of all the classical composers, it was Beethoven that was in Bill & Ted.

He went deaf even without a wall of Marshall stacks behind him. That's how metal he was.

Like the ones who play classical compositions note by note? There are plenty of them. They study guitar in conservatories around the world. But they take it on playing acoustic guitar without high output pick ups and overdriven amps. But what does a society gain by that? Keeping up a tradition ruled by the aristocrats who payed the musicians (or didn’t if they wouldn‘t fit in with their rules)? That‘s like a museum not explaining the historical background. No society needs that, but some autocrats do.

So much muscle memory here. I've played for around 7-8 years in a somewhat casual way. I am fine with some tapping across different strings. But this just blows my mind. I can't fathom the time it takes to master this. But dedication definitely pays off. I can't tell if your second finger on the right hand is doing a lot of work under the 1st finger, like multi-string tapping. Or if it just progresses down the strings without coming back to a previous string until it starts again. I'm trying to match it to what's going on with your left hand too, but it's so dang fast! I'm going to have to take a look at the tabs/sheet music. Anyway. Absolutely incredible cover/rendition, and thank you for sharing it with us.
