This week’s blog was a fun little experiment: a variation on
Bruce Adolphe’s fabulous “Piano Puzzler” as heard on NPR. If you are unfamiliar
with “Piano Puzzler” the premise is quite simple. Mr. Adolphe arranges a famous
piece of music in the style of an equally famous composer and listeners get to
guess the song and composer. Imagine J.S. Bach composing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" or Chopin performing "Can't Buy Me Love". Bruce’s arrangements are fantastic and I highly
recommend you download the free podcast that is available on iTunes.
My “Guitar Riddle” works exactly
the same way as “Piano Puzzler” except rather than performing in the style of a
specific composer I (attempted) to perform in the style of a specific
guitarist.
Below is the link to the Sound
Cloud MP3 (download it for free or simply listen on Sound Cloud). I’ve also
included the sheet music and tab so you can play along with the recording.
