Habang Buhay - Joel Malit

Now available for sale: individual title tablatures in pdf files.

I arranged the fingerings of this piece from listening only to an audio recordings... having an additional introduction which I based from the orchestral part of the original recording of Maestro Pedro Concepcion. My friend Mr. Mar Mendoza has his own arrangement of this piece with an introduction and he has uploaded it some years ago. I was inspired by his version so I added an introduction too. He gave me an mp3 audio of the original rendition of Pedro Concepcion....the source of both our inspiration. This piece is really difficult to play and in this version I made, the same mistake were still there and I have to remove those little parts. I love this piece very much and I tried my best to imitate the style of Pedro Concepcion.....but I think I didn't even reached the 10% of the original. I uploaded it to inspire other guitarists out there ...to let them know that there is another not so popular version...a simplified one.....unlike the professionally arranged materials you purchased from your maestro...hehehe.....You can see and hear that this simplified arrangement .....poorly arranged and played by an amateur....still can project the true spirit of the song.....Amen!

The guitar I used here is still my favorite Japanese vintage made by luthier Yusuke Kyo.....I straighten the neck a little bit, replaced the nut with a Yamaha and a modified Yamaha saddle. I made a bone saddle for this guitar but the color is not matching with the nut so I used the previous one I also reshaped oddly. You can hear the big difference in sound projection compare to my other old videos using the same guitar.. This Japanese vintage really kicks a booming bass and lamenting trebles....but I don't have the expensive equipment to record it's true sound......not possible to capture. ....by my 400pesos clip mic and laptop.
