Guitar Intro

Written in 1992 / Recorded in 1995 and 2011

This short piece of music for solo guitar was actually written as the intro for a song called Give Me a Cat in the early summer of 1992. Before I completed writing the main body of the song, this intro piece was once played live in front of the audience during a show by my band called Elegance. It was the first show for the new line-up of the band and was the last one for the band’s history.

A few years later, while I was organising my past materials, I came across with this tune and re-recorded the entire song with adding a newly programmed digital synthesizer part, which is still audible at the end of this video.

For making this video, I chose to single out the intro piece because the main body of the song is not well written. Alternatively, I played the intro of White Rabbit, one of my favourite Jefferson Airplane songs, in the end of this video because my intro piece is written for a song written in the key of F sharp.
