as played by heavy metal artists Children of Bodom. It’s amazing the amount of classical training you find in “non-classical” artists; I remember meeting A.J. Pero, drummer of Twisted Sister fame, in a clinic and realizing the incredible depth of musicianship that can get hidden behind long hair and stage makeup. Did he sell out? He made more $$ w/ Twisted Sister than any timpanist…so could anyone blame him? And maybe he’s able to have more fun now that he’s entered a new phase: Circle of Thorns.

Well,l this is not the best piece for playing it on electric guitar, maybe, but it is very beautiful. Vivaldi pieces always seemed very friendly and open to me.
I remember that I was just thrilled by Paganini’s Caprice no 24 after seeing a Russian guy playing it on electric guitar, in Malmsteen’s style. Long hair, boots, leather jacket and guitar playing classical music, what more could I dream of ?:-)
Unfortunately I couldn’t find a good version of it on YouTube, only on classical guitar

Also I love playing, even if I didn’t go too further studying it, Mozart’s Turkish March http://youtube.com/watch?v=4HHQ46Uz5Ds&feature=related
Classic! Thanks Ovidiu!
