Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun

[PickUpTheBones]

I should rename this one "Far Beyond Me" [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I honestly don't know what I was thinking - this is the first Yngwie tune I've ever tried to learn and there's one of those speedy little accending arpeggio breaks near the begining that gave me a hell of a time. It makes me cringe, but I ended up just leaving it as is. [img]images/smilies/dunno.gif[/img]
One of these days I'll planning on revisiting this track to polish up the rough edges and add the second half.

So, other than one or two little moments I think it's a pretty respectable stab at this bitch of a song. [img]images/smilies/icon_ball.gif[/img]

Thanks man for taking the time and checking it out.
I'm actually pretty proud of the way the track turned out. There's just a couple little "bugs" in it that really bother me. [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]

I've wanted to learn this track since 1984, when I first bought the album. It wasn't until someone posted this killer backing track a couple weeks ago that I made up my mind to give it a shot. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

That is great. It makes a change to hear a malmsteen song covered which doesn't sound too much like malmsteen (I think that's a good thing). It rocks. [img]images/smilies/icon_jam.gif[/img]

Nice job Bones. I personally wouldn't even attempt this number cause I just plain ain't got these kind of chops in my riff bag. But apparently you do! Nice job. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb1.gif[/img]

Are you referring to the video game, Castlevania???
I love that composition! I have it as an MP3. I am not a gamer and I have never even played the game, but my nephews were playing it a number of years ago and the song stuck in my head. I accidentally found it on Napster before Lars had it shut down ( [img]images/smilies/icon_lol.gif[/img] ). I still listen to it every once in a while.

Sorry Bones, for taking up part of your thread to talk about a video game soundtrack. [img]images/smilies/icon_cool.gif[/img]
