Sometimes in a circle of friends I want to sing something beautiful, piercing with a guitar. At the same time, the composition must be known so that everyone can perform it together. The song of the Epidemia group "The Rider of Ice" is a great option for such an occasion.
It is necessary
Guitar, lyrics, chords
Instructions
Step 1
Tune your guitar. Lyric songs that need to be played with brute-force require particularly careful string tuning. This can be done using an electronic tuner, or "online guitar tuning", for example, guitartuneronline.ru.
Step 2
Learn lyrics and chords. The performance of any piece (instrumental or song) produces a much greater effect if the musician is completely immersed in his playing, revealing his feelings. A person who sings from a piece of paper makes a faint impression, moreover, this prevents him from creating the desired image. It is very easy to find words and chords on the Internet, for example, on the website russrock.ru/akkords.
Step 3
Start playing the introduction quietly. Do not forget to make a short pause after it - as in the original, this is important: you showed a beautiful initial melody, with a pause you seem to say: "Now there will be words, get ready." At this moment, the last conversations usually stop, the listeners freeze.
Step 4
Play the verse brute-force. The loss after the first verse is performed by a fight (in the word "forever …"). Then you can go back to sorting again - to enhance the contrast before the climax, or you can continue in the same manner.
Step 5
Play the culmination of the song ("who has lost love …") in a harsh manner, always with a "fight", but after the words "forgot your face …" for a few bars return to the lyrical "brute force". Next comes a solo piece, which is almost impossible to fully perform in one guitar. It is recommended to omit it.
Step 6
Perform the next verses with a “fight”, there is no need to return to “brute force”, the climax has passed, the song requires a dense sound of the accompaniment. Only the last phrases ("I am a rider of ice …") again remind of the main idea of the song - the soul's pain of the protagonist, his powerlessness in front of evil fate, so the "bust" is logical here.
