Identify That Song!

Post by DanP740 »

It's... it's... ITS! It's the Identify That Song contest!

I have recorded videos of myself playing parts from various songs on guitar.
I will post a video. You then send me a PM with what you think the song is.
If you get it right, you will get a point. If you get both the song title and the artist, you get two points.
If you get it wrong, you won't lose any points, so take a guess.
If your PM arrives after I post the next song, I will not count your guess.
The person with the most points when this contest is over will receive $250. Second place will receive $100, third place $50, and you're guaranteed to get at least 1 dollar for participating.

Here is the first song:


You have two days until I post the next video to send me a PM with your guess.

And that song was Carol Of The Bells, with the preferred artist being the Trans Siberian Orchestra, but bookworm got composer instead, so I accepted that.

The melody has had so many artists I didn’t know which you wanted, so I took the safe route. ;)

Apparently that one was a bit too hard. That song was Ignition by tobyMac, and nobody got that right.

Never heard the song, so that doesn’t count as a miss.

Same here... never heard it before. I can usually recognize old tunes, patriotic songs, and Christmas music, but very little of this contemporary stuff.

I know, I meant it wasn’t like I failed to identify it. Can’t identify something you’ve never heard. ;)

And that was Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach.

This next one I don't think many of you will get. Oh well. Here's the next song!

Updated scores?

Here’s one of those amazing timing things that happen now and then:
The other night I was listening to “In All Things Give Thanks” and in a random comment the band director said they would have “practice for Toccata and Fugue”. I never caught that before, only now because I had it on my mind.

It's part of a classic metal solo track featuring a groundbreaking type of playing.
If you can somehow get more people to try this contest, that could be nice. I may raise the 1st-place prize to $250 if more people participate.

I'd love to participate more, but I'm just not a music guy. ;) Oh well. You're a fine guitar player.

That was the tapping part of Eruption by Van Halen. Only one person got that, which surprised me, but he guess Hendrix instead of Van Halen, although both were epic guitarists.
