A very, very rough (and slow) read-down of a small bit of Paganini's Caprice No. 5. I suppose this would be the most recogniseable part of the piece. It was fun, and a bit of a finger-twister. It's only at about 80 bpm, and it's not complete, so please don't hold that against me. I just thought I'd share this bit so y'all could have a laugh.

I didn't spend too much time on it, but it signifies the close of the first 4 hours of today's practice.I was practicing other stuff, this I only spent about 20 min on...
Yes, it's a bit sloppy and kind of rushed - I was kind of working out the bass part as I read it down (There is no bass part really, as it's intended for solo violin) I just used the first note of every beat as my accompaniment.

So yeah, no big whup, just a quick run-through.

Who's that I hear , the slightly overweight spectre of Yngwie in there!
Good one Scott, keep reeking Havoc on the forum, its a bit quiet in here.

Excellent slower version of this, Scott! What's performance tempo, I wonder? Probably something like 240 BPM? I think I'm kidding. That sounds tough to play at human tempo--I can't imagine playing this at full speed. What is the "suggested" tempo for this? And well done!

cool, that sounds great, i encourage you to dig in that way and hope to hear (or see) more about this Caprice, that's a very good idea

Me likes this a lot!!!! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

I am thinking hard about it, the idea of an SG12 has been kind of rolling around for the last year or so. Having access to those deadly high notes is more and more appealing haha I may have to avoid this place for a bit...

Seriously, I wonder if there is a way I could incorporate 2 different sized sticks and an 8 string guitar into a show of some sort... hmmn, food for thought once I figure the Stick out a bit better I suppose...

Thanks for checking it out, dudes! Getting better... It's really interesting how every time I do one of these ( haha daily at least, lately) even if it's a primitive, rough thing that sounds like a pregnant yak howling at the moon (yes, that is pretty much my signature tone! ) It still yields a ton of ideas that I can use one way or the other...

Lots of fun this Stick contraption...
