falkorCovet
Tapping is a special technique for stringed instruments like guitar and bass, where the right hand—normally used with a pick—takes on the left hand’s role of fretting the strings.
Covet is the band led by the rising star guitarist Yvette Young, who wields this technique with effortless control.
Among their songs, Falkor stands out as a highly recommended track for instrumental beginners: instead of flaunting technique, it focuses on an accessible melodic line.
It’s a gentle sound that’s also great for those who find guitar instrumentals too intense.
#1090 〜Thousand Dreams〜Matsumoto Takahiro
A signature work by the genius guitarist Tak Matsumoto, beloved for 24 years as the opening theme of TV Asahi’s Music Station.
Infused with his deep affection for his beloved Fender Stratocaster, this piece powerfully portrays young people setting out on the path of music and walking toward their dreams.
Released in March 1992 and included on the album “Wanna Go Home,” the song blends energetic guitar tones with a melodious progression, resonating with those who carry passion in their hearts.
In conclusion
Since this time we’re focusing on guitar instrumentals, we selected tracks with an emphasis on guitar tone and technique, but as expected, classical and flamenco guitarists operate on a whole different level of technique.
Of course, electric guitarists also have staggering chops, but there may be a fundamental difference in technique due to the varying string tension and feel.
