 Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Guitar Hi everyone,
Here's a simple arrangement of the theme from Vivaldi's "Winter" movement of the "Four Seasons" on the Stick Guitar. Enjoy.

Re: Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Gu Perfect for the Stick Guitar! It must have taken some work arrange this for the SG, but it was so worth it. I really enjoyed this. The articulations and ornaments came across so clearly and cleanly on the SG. Excellent as always.

Re: Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Gu Really beautifully done, thanks for sharing. Is your SG12 setup with the classic SG12 tuning?

Re: Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Gu Love it. Wonderfully done, as usual. I think the Stick shines especially bright with classical music expertly executed.

Re: Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Gu I forgot I was a Stickist for a while there and just enjoyed some beautiful music.

Re: Vivaldi's "Winter" Theme (Four Seasons) Greg on Stick Gu Greg said it was a simple arrangement and so it is, with LH chordal arpeggiations taken right out of "Free Hands", lesson 2, page 8. That's serving the music and so I found myself noticing other things:
- The sweet sound of those high notes on the SG-12. Why is it that a shorter guitar scale neck produces thicker, "creamier" highs when everything going on behind the tapped string (toward the headstock) shouldn't matter? (Well, the nut height settings matter.)
- The pauses, retards and generally the "liberties" that he takes with the rhythm, classical style. Greg shows a special feel for such subtleties (or were they written in the score?). Either way, Greg honors the composer . It turns out that my early chapter about three-note bass-with-chord accompaniment suits this genre very well.
Many thanks again Greg, for displaying another facet of your musicianship (as well as of my instrument design).
