Silent Hill - Tears of...(Classical Guitar Arrangement)

Music written by Akira Yamaoka
Arrangement by Charles Alexander Allred
Guitar built by Constatin Dumitriu
For this recording I tuned the guitar down one whole step (DGCFAD). This is extremely uncommon for classical guitars and I thought it would be interesting experiment. I have mixed feelings about the results, but thought the somber mood of this music would be a good venue for this tuning. What do you think?

My favorite KZbin artists performing my favorite composer made my day friend

Thanks Robert!! Awesome!!

Genuinely one of the best covers on this entire platform, you've really transformed the feel of what youre covering. The original track gets broken down to its emotional components, laying off the high-energy tension that that version emparts and instead focusing in on the dread, sorrow and hope hidden underneath. And your playing of the classical guitar is so evocative of those emotions that I think this version surpasses the original. All that to say, i love this cover, thanks so much for making it. I've probably listened to this a hundred times at least. Amazing job. If only it were playable in standard tuning, id probably spend more time practicing it too 😂

[@Dslayer066]

Sounds nostalgic, sad and somehow scary at the same time... beautiful!!!!!

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Thank you Cristhian!!

[@seancassidy4812]

It sounds very nice Charles. I've never heard that tune before but it affected me. That tuning was a good idea.

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Thanks Sean! Glad you enjoyed it :) There’s some fantastic music from the Silent Hill games.

[@Sollustri]

Agreed. I think the tuning definitely affected the overall mood of the original. Not sure which tuning i prefer, but darn am I impressed.

Great choice using D standard on this and utilizing those harp harmonics. I'm a sucker for those, keep up the great work!

Could you do a Video about what kind of strings do you use? Cheap expensive hard soft tension.....

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

I have talked about that in a video, check my “Chuck Answers” series. Sorry I don’t have a link off hand to give you but it’s in one of those videos. Thank you for the interest!

@@CharlesAlexanderAllred You're welcomed! Do you like Satie? He's a favorite of mine. Gnossienes 1-6. The more melancholic, the better for some reason. 😅

I love Satie! His sound is one of a kind to me. I recently wrote a piece that sounds to me very inspired by him.

Please, leave some talent for the rest of us! Love it! Can you play "It Can't Last (Home") from the TLOU 2 soundtrack too? You are an amazing player!

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Hey thanks so much Sea Bass! I’m currently playing that game and loving it, I’ll definitely look into playing some of its music.

You gotta put your music on bandcamp, take my money and give me lossless files :)

can this song be played with a pick ?

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Not as it is, but with some changes it could

[@otosakayuu6523]

@@CharlesAlexanderAllred for real ?? can you do a tutorial for it using a pick on your patreon ? i really want to learn it

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Well thank you for being a member, but I don’t think that a separate tutorial is necessary. Basically you’ll just want to play as many notes as you can, and try not to leave any out of the main melodies, which will be the highest parts. If you have to drop some middle or low parts, that’s ok.

[@MBBGun14]

I guess you have to focus on just guitar parts of the original if you want to play it with pick.
