Fantasy Serenade
Música Clasica
Letra

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##

The song is called ´Fantasy Serenade´, it is on ´Just a Game´ by

Triumph.  It´s one of those wild and wonderful Rik Emmett acoustic

pieces that make you realize just how tough it can be to play guitar.



There are probably some mistakes in this; it´s been years since I

lifted the song so I may have misremembered something :)  If someone

has a better way to play some of these parts (either alternate

fingerings, or voicings that are closer to the original) I´d like to

hear about them.



All in all this is a fun song to play... even though after years I

still can´t do the party I marked ´nasty´ that well.



Enjoy,

Dean



This song is played with the 6th string tuned down to a D.

You probably don´t want to use a pick for this.

The synth violins start here.  I suggest that you look at the chords that

the notes form, and use whatever natural fingering you would for that

chord.

The rest is just heavy strumming with lots of open strings.  You will

have to listen to the song to get the rhythm.  I use the top of my

nails, and rake them across the strings.  Where I place a ´u´ above the

tab I rake just my thumb nail up the strings (high to low).  Where I

place a ´d´ I rake my middle and ring finger nails down the strings

(low to high).  I generally hit the strings really hard here; so the

open low strings should resound through the entire passage even where I

don´t explicitly mark them.  I´m not sure if this is the right way to

do it; but I´m self-taught and this works for me.

At this point I pretend I´m holding a pick between my thumb and index

finger, and use the top of the nail to strum the strings.  ´u´ and ´d´

just represent strumming directions now.
