    Finally somebody did it! A harpsichord cover of Golden Brown! I waited for years to hear this. This song has some unique magic in it and it only the harpsichord can truely unfold it. Piano and guitar are nice but this song just needs the harpsichord. Brilliant, Sir, just brilliant! I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you so much! (In case you are heading for ultimate perfection you can try to put even more emotions in it, emphasizing certain parts, or play it on a real old harpsichord on the next run.)

      Lennard I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I guess that I was so focused on staying in sync that I forgot to pay attention to the performance. In fact, I had to slightly slow down the original as it has been recorded in in awkward pitch and retune my harpsichord to match it.

      @Sillywalks774 Před 6 lety +8

      You did very well. I imagine it is super tough to learn. I dream of playing it one day. Unfortunately I never had any piano lessons let alone harpsicord lessons. I assume you have to practice many years before it makes sense to learn how to play Golden Brown?

    • @Bar-T

      Lennard Not really, in fact I learned to play this myself after my first year of harpsichord lessons. Luckily where I live harpsichord is taught in certain music academies.
