When Metal Meets Beethoven: Classical Composer Reacts to Tina S. | The Daily Doug (Episode 354)

#TinaS #MetalMonday #Beethoven #MetalBeethoven #WomensWeek
In this episode of #TheDailyDoug, I'm listening to a metal cover of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (third movement). This classical piece, written in 1801, continues to find new life with each passing generation. Now, Beethoven meets the electric guitar in the capable hands of young Tina S. As a part of Women's Week here on the channel, I couldn't pass up an opportunity to feature Tina expertly playing the guitar. I hope you enjoy!

Many people underestimate how well Metal and Classical go together. I'm fully convinced that people like Tchaikovsky, Prokovief and Vivaldi would've been rock stars if they'd been alive today.

[@leonardomedeiros669]

Marche Slave by Tchaikovsky was the metal of its time - energetic, raw, brutal. The only difference is there was no amplification back in those days.

[@MrTubularBalls]

@@leonardomedeiros669 Double bassdrums didn't exist either, and I don't think anybody was doing grunting or pigsqueals yet 😂

[@csantana1971]

They would be doing some Peogressive Metal for sure… or some Symphonic Metal or a mixturr of both

[@IkmelAAA]

Almost any music can be played on the guitar because it’s such a versatile instrument but it doesn’t mean that classical and metal/rock music in general are similar

[@fnglert]

@@IkmelAAA Riiiiiiiiiight. That's why there's such a glut of metalbands incorporating classical elements. Because they're not similar whatsoever. And I'm Queen Elizabeth.

hey Doug! thank you for having reacted to this video of my little protected Tina. I had the chance to teach her electric guitar from 13 to 18 years old, and also filmed and produced all these videos at that time in my studio. I must say that she never disappointed me, what a prodigy she was... a small precision concerning this version, it is an arrangement made by the incredible Italian guitarist, Michele "DrViossy" Vioni, who was kind enough to let us use his version. in any case, thank you for your various reaction videos that I watch very often! see ya.

@@TheCkhutton12 He's an old man. She's a teenager.

[@Pewtah]

Doug, about the dynamics: the technique she uses - known as "tapping" - needs amplification and high compression. So the dynamic range is very reduced, "every note has the same volume". You can not apply that on an acoustic guitar, that would be too soft. The magic of tapping is in the high speed you can play. Pieces like the 3rd movement of Moonlight fits perfectly to that.

[@minaellysewarren2623]

You absolutely can tap on an acoustic guitar -- see Michael Hedges, Jon Gomm, and tons of others. The difference in dynamics would generally be lacking in a piece that's just tapped out, though. The technique itself does provide more of a flat set of dynamics, at least on its own. However, there are plenty of other techniques and devices that could bring dynamics to any guitar piece -- a volume pedal (or use of a volume knob) would be an obvious choice, as would using clean and distorted tones, or varying the distortion, or changing picking techniques, or changing pickups... Pieces Doug has looked at, like Jason Becker's Air, which uses clean tones, still gets a few distinctive changes in dynamics between sections. Another would be Yngwie's Icarus Dream Suite Op. 3, although many of those changes are due to the instrumentation.

[@babylemonade2868]

Was going to mention Michael Hedges myself. He was amazing

[@jimhardiman3836]

Wrong

[@Spivonious]

Joe Satriani - Midnight disagrees.

[@MrTubularBalls]

Eddie van Halen recorded an acoustic tapping piece, cover by Paul Gilbert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ_UeHp4mK17ZpI These are harmonic taps, and it's definitely softer than picking or plucking. But it's still doable.

[@dereks1264]

I love the "what the hell is happening" look on people's faces the first time they experience her playing. She started learning classical guitar at age six (which you can tell by how she holds the guitar in this vid). She was 17 when this was recorded. I love her little smile at the end, where it looks like she didn’t even break a sweat, as if she's saying: "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how it's done". Crazy tapping, hammer ons, pulloffs, bends, harmonics and mad flat picking. Ya gotta wonder what Ludwig would say if he came back and watched this. Aside from everything else, this is a master class in guitar techniques. I tried tapping along, to the bits where she is tapping, just trying to match the rhythm and not even trying to land on the strings and failed miserably. I think I'll take up the tuba.

[@johnhawkins_twa]

Doug, I was one of the many that asked you to react to this. Loved your analysis. I believe her teacher included the backing track to help the audience know that she's keeping a steady tempo throughout. You'll also notice that she doesn't look at the fret board very often. If you want to see/hear her covers that have a lot more feel/emotion in them I would suggest For the Love of God, The Loner, and Altitudes. If I remember correctly you reacted to Steve Vai performing For the Love of God. I believe you will enjoy Tina's version. She adds her own style to it so its not a note for note cover. If you choose to not react to Tina anymore, I hope you watch her covers for your own enjoyment. I just realized that even though I've been watching your reactions for awhile now, I haven't subscribed. I have taken care of that issue. Subscribed. Let's get you pass the 200k mark.

Talking about Beethoven: In the late 60-ties, early 70-ties in the Netherlands there was a band called EKSEPTION. They had a big hit with a piece called "The 5th" , which was their 'version' of the first movement of Beethovens 5th symphony (obviously...). Their leader was Rick van der Linden (more or less the Dutch Keith Emerson). After that they also arranged a couple of pieces by J.S. Bach. Maybe, Doug, you could have a listen, just for fun...

My fav band is 70s Kansas. Kerry Livgren on lead guitar, piano, synth, mellotron, etc. wrote all of the wonderful prog songs that are so fabulous. He never took music lessons, can't read or write music, but grew up from the crib listening to classical music, particularly the romantic era. And it has spilled over into his songwriting. In my opinion, he is the finest rock composer, orchestrator, lyricist, and multi instrumentalist ever. You really must listen to their first 8 albums. It's absolutely easy to hear which songs were written by Kerry and which by Steve Walsh. This was a remarkable live band - all 6 members great musicians and so tight! Play Kansas please!! Journey to Mariabronn, Belexes, Icarus Borne on Wings of Steel, The Pinnacle, Song for America, Lamplight Symphony, Incomudro, the entire Leftoverture album, Dust in the Wind, Hopelessly Human, Relentless, Hold On, Curtain of Iron, Crossfire.

I love Tinas rendition of The Third Movement here, it is true to the original at the same time as it is pure metal. I recently went down the rabbit hole of KZbin following the history of, and Who Began, Heavy Metal. Lot of debate between Black Sabbat and Judas Priest. Someone thow in some other bands and songs. "You Really Got Me" is the first song blah, blah, blah. I can only watch the selfproclaimed experts while shaking my head. Yea, Metal is a bit older then that, they just didn't have electrical guitars and distortion back then.

A very qualified analysis

[@VoIcanoman]

Been a huge fan of Tina for years (I discovered her in...2018 I think), and this is one of her best performances. I've always said, if Beethoven were composing today, he'd be a metalhead of the highest order. It is fun to speculate as to what a talent like that would do with modern influences and technology (as for the instruments themselves, I think these would be pretty familiar to ol' Ludwig). I expect his band would be some vein of progressive deathcore, with midrange harsh vocals and off-the-charts technical virtuosity. But that's just a guess.

[@matteogiberti3297]

Dr. Viossy (a.k.a. Michele Vioni) is an italian guitarist I've seen live many times with the band Mr. Pig and had a chat with Him a couple of times. On KZbin there's his version of this piece of music and videos of his band which features as a singer the great Michele Luppi known also to be keyboard player in Whitesnake.

[@elisekellett2378]

Wow she is amazing. Doug have you heard two cellos. Two cellists who play heavy metal on the cello. They play AC-DC, Guns and Roses and Avicci. Worth a look. They're on KZbin. Loving your channel. 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲

[@fredyair1]

Beethoven was a Metalhead, the opening of the 5th Symphony is the first great metal riff in history.

[@psionic6126]

Hey Doug. Glad to see you discovered her. I would highly recommend "Max Ostro" when it comes to young talents. He got signed at JTC Guitar and you should listen his Jazz/Groove kinda stuff. That kid really leaves me speechless man.

[@old_man_with_cane3407]

I just asked Doug to check Max out in a different thread. Max is a mix of Vai and Satriani... Glad to see others know of Ostro's talent..

[@psionic6126]

@@old_man_with_cane3407 I was able to see Max live. Well, i wouldn't say he's a Vai/Satriani kinda player. He's got the whole package man. What can he actually play? : Yngwie Malmsteem, Vai, Satriani, Michael Romeo. He played them at the age of 15!! Now he is playing Guthrie Govan stuff and i don't need to tell everybody how difficult Guthrie's stuff is. But what really stands out to me, is his own music. Songs like "Promenade, or Joker, Groove on, are just pure magic mate.

[@old_man_with_cane3407]

@@psionic6126 i have heard all those pieces you mentioned by max. I have not seen him live yet. I have seen Satch and Vai numerous times as well as others. Max's groove and fluid movements are what remind me of Satch and Vai combined... Have a good one...

[@robertakerman3570]

I've heard of: 1)tickling the ivories 2)classical "Guitar" now, 3) welcome to Tina S World Wow!

[@josephbishop3590]

Thanks Doug! Tina is a great cover artist. Very technical. And her cover of Steve Vai’s FOR THE LOVE OF GOD is sensational. If you enjoyed Tina S, you’ll love Sophie Lloyd! Sophie is a great original artist as well as a good cover artist.

[@getexis8685]

This lady is very good at playing the guitar. Very good. Beethoven wrote in ... 1801?! It's amazing. I admire that new generations still appreciate Beethoven, because he was magnificent, as Tina S show us. Go Tina.

Out of this world!

[@fredandpattychandler4130]

Definitely check out Uli Jon Roth's Symphony and on 7 string 36 fretted electric guitar. Incredibly well done. And a true innovator.

[@linoarquiza5433]

I have always felt that Beethoven was the heavy metal star of classical music.

[@paulg-sg]

Fantastic Doug. I hope you will get to experience some Lovebites this week; I am sure you will totally geek out how they compose metal with classical sensibilities (& chops), not just metal covers of classical pieces. Recommended tracks that really highlight this: Edge of the World; Swan Song; Glory to the World.

[@One808]

A Frozen Serenade would have fit the bill too.

[@Metal_Auditor]

I would recommend looking at Dr. Viossi’s video of this. It’s his arrangement, as she indicates in her video description.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

The ‘Banya’ track ‘Moonlight’ produced for the rhythm game Pump it Up is also based on this movement but the main melody is altered quite a lot. They have a lot of EDM classical remixes

[@0ParisFrance]

The 1st movement of the Moonlight Sonata inspired John Lennon to write the track BECAUSE on the Abbey Road album.

[@matldn2697]

Classical music has a massive influence on Metal, especially guitar driven soloing.

[@refractorhead]

Doug, metal is very classically oriented. please don't be surprised.

[@onsesejoo2605]

When they talk about neoclassical shred, this is it, with true classical piece. Please react to Henderson - Kolk Guitar Duo - Le Tombeau de Couperin prelude. It is an arrangement for classical guitars.

[@zzuave2666]

A natural follow on from this would be Uli Jon Roth's Metamorphosis, his take on the entire Four Seasons with his electric 'Sky guitar'.

[@darktehom]

She remembered me The great Kat, possibly the best metal guitarist to play classical music ever, you should give her a shot, but be ready for her (crazy girl), great video

[@patrickriarchy6054]

She was an incredible technical player
