Guitar solo - "Magic Well"

Featured Replies

Hello everyone.

I am not a guitarist; it took me 3 weeks to learn this relatively easy piece and my performance still lacks confidence, sorry for that.

This is a piece I've composed after watching a mystical movie about a family who could live eternally because they've found a magic well, drinking from which made them immortal.

There was a storyline about their son who met a girl and wanted to tell her this secret so she could use it too, but his family was against that. Please let me know what the title of the movie was if you've seen it :)

The melody at 0:21-0:37 was the movie's leitmotif, but it had no second voice and no development, so I felt the need to enrich it and extend it to a complete piece.

This was nice, not as cliche as most guitar pieces today (e.g spanish or latin). You played better than I thought you would but noticed near the end you struggled a bit, still though, as you say, you don't play so well done!

Any chance of a score as I would love to play it.

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

There's a score for the first half of the song (see attached), which I wrote 2 years ago or so, when I saw the movie.

As for the second half - I added it recently when I decided to learn the piece on guitar. I've composed it at the instrument, so there's no score yet. I'll sure type it down in the next few days and post it here.

Oh, and the score I'm attaching is written using two clefs (like if it's for piano). I'll fix that as well.

I liked it as well and would love to play it too. It had some nice harmonies and went well on the guitar. Look forward to the score.

It's a very nice piece.

Till 0:40 it sounds like a late medieval piece.

(Please do not hit me if I'm wrong :sadtears:)

I actually havn't played it yet; I hope there will be a

better notation. ;)

I agree with Wobbler it does have a kind of medieval feel to it and that is what I like about it. It's a cool piece and I'm glad you took the time to play it
