SHRED FROM THE DEAD

piece of Paganini's Caprice (No. 22)


SFTD8. More Paganini, this time from his ever-popular 24 Caprices. The focus with this one is unusual fingering, position shifting, and a combination of alternate and sweep picking. I've included fingering, and picking indications, so it should be pretty easy to follow. I especially like the position shifting in last four beats of the second measure. This one moves around a lot and is quite a bit of fun to play. I guess I sort of turn the picking around at the last beat of the fifth measure. Usually, when slurring, I try to keep the picking order as it would be if every note were picked, but I didn't here...oh well.
