Alan Gogoll - Apricot eyes
---------
Hi folks!
This is the COMPLETE composition with percussions (at last)!
Based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_D-fj5so5U&list=RDQ_D-fj5so5U&start_radio=1
This is the version without harmonics in the Intro (maybe I'll add it in the future...)
My advice for learning it (symbols at the end):
1. Learn it at first disregarding the percussions (meaning forget the P, S and T)
2. When you can play it comfortably at full speed > then slow down the pace > and add the percussion S and T
3. Same thing, when comfortable at full speed > slow down the pace > and add the other percussion P
4. PLAY EVERYTHING AT FULL SPEED!
All the symbols are at the end ; including [PERCUSSION BRIDGE].
Enjoy ;-)
