Valse Diabolique
 
(Extract: the first two verses and pivot passage)


Valse Diabolique (extract) (from The Alchemists, 2001)





Performance Notes
 
The melodies from Valse Diabolique, like almost all of my guitar lines, are played using mostly alternate-picking. There are a few areas within the piece where sweep-picking is employed; bar 30 below (second verse), the arpeggios in the third verse, arpeggios in the chorus, and the arpeggios with tapped extensions after the bridge.
 
The tablature below covers the first two verses from Valse and the first pivot section. The audio clip above covers these parts, the video clip for Valse Diabolique in the 'Audio/Visual' subdomain covers the first verse and pivot passage.
 
The bpm on the recording is 162.


Verses 1 & 2









Pivot Passage 1
