 About the arrangement

“If you have any question about the song, feel free to leave a comment on the video or to contact me on my Facebook page.

The guitars I use are built by Davide Serracini, except for the special guitar that has just been modified by him. You can still play this piece using a simple 6 string guitar equipped with 6 high pitch strings rather than the special guitar. It’s enough to remove the few parts played on the added strings and play the similar sections present on the tab.

The capos I use in the video are: SpiderCapo and Jim Dunlop Trigger Capo. To play this tune, you need to prepare the capos in a particular way. First of all, place a Spider Capo on the 1st fret of your main guitar and block the 3rd string. Attach a Jim Dunlop Trigger Capo on the SpiderCapo but before doing so cut the rubber part of it so that the capo doesn’t block the 2nd string and the 3rd string. Finally, put on the first 3 strings of the 3rd fret another Jim Dunlop Trigger Capo and again before doing so cut the rubber part of it so that it doesn’t block the 1st string.

To prepare the special guitar put a Jim Dunlop Trigger Capo on the 7th fret. Then add a Spider Capo on the 9th fret and block the 2nd string. Finally add another Spider Capo on the 12th fret and block the 2nd string.

To fix the special guitar on a music stand you can simply use a belt passing under the strings.

Here is the list of the percussions used for the main guitar in this arrangement:

B = Hit the guitar bridge with your wrist
x = Hit the 6th string with your thumb
W = Wrist
i = Right hand index finger
(i) = Left hand index finger
m = Left hand middle finger
r = Left hand ring finger hits the guitar neck

And here is the list of the percussions used for the second guitar in this arrangement:

W = Wrist
P = Hit the brass plate with your thumb
i = Right hand index finger
m = Left hand middle finger
a = Right hand ring finger
(ami) = index, middle and ring finger together”

WOW:) great talent. Thanks for sharing video.
As a long time guitarist and luthier, I’m wondering if it is possible to play “Sweet child of Mine” with just one guitar AND have it sound so dynamically full?
What tuning would you use if you were going to play just one guitar?
Thanks so much for sharing
