GuitarSynths.co.uk(Toccata and) Fugue in Dm (Bach), part II:Fugue - Ketil Strand-electric guitar/Axon guitar synth
Finally, here's the Fugue part as a follow-up to my previous Toccata version played on Axon AX100 guitar synth. (I've also added a new Toccata version without the Axon, but with the Roland GR-100 instead).
In my first version of Toccata I used only the church organ sound from my Axon, but on the Fugue I've mixed the Axon sound with my good old Roland GR-100, one of Roland's analog "guitar synth" units from the early 80's. It doesn't sound much like a synth, though, it's basically a "hexaphonic fuzz".. Both sounds were recorded simultaneously and mixed in Cubase, to make it sound like a "duet" for organ and guitar, and you can see me playing both tracks on the split screen.
I also added a third track on a few small sections where I found my piano sheet music version lacked something compared to the original organ version. (the piano version uses of course only two staffs/voices, the original organ version has three; left and right hand plus feet).
Of all my You tube videos, this has been my biggest challenge so far. It's not the easiest piece of music to play on a guitar, so it took quite a few hours to learn, reading both treble and bass clefs from the sheet music..
Hope you enjoy it!
