Members dog20 Posted January 28, 2007 Members Posted January 28, 2007 Its the intro to 'Wild Arms' for the playstation.
Members Stackabones Posted January 28, 2007 Members Posted January 28, 2007 At first, I thought it was a keyboard patch. Then I heard the string squeak at around 0:15--acoustic guitar! Kinda cool little tune. The whistling reminded me of spaghetti western theme music.
Members Hudman Posted January 28, 2007 Members Posted January 28, 2007 After a quick listen, it sounds like an acoustic guitar with a capo somewhere between the 3rd and 5th fret.
Members dog20 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Members Posted January 28, 2007 whats a capo? (i know nothing about guitars or music). my dad has an acoustic guitar, i was thinking about getting one [at first i thought electric but i think i would be better off with an acoustic- and i want to learn that song!]. what do you guys think of the Esteban guitars from QVC? good deal? are they nice?

Good ears, Hudman. It took me a few quick listens and a guitar in hand. It sounds like a nylon string guitar capoed at the 5th fret. dog20: a capo is a clamp that can hold down all the strings at a given fret. It basically shortens each string equally and transposes the guitar into a higher key. This piece would be a little challenging for a beginner. There's quite a bit of finger independence. Not to mention the difficult whistling part! Perhaps though you could find a teacher who can arrange the guitar part as a duet, which might be more manageable. Generally speaking, Esteban guitars are not a good deal, and they are not nice. However a search of this forum should turn up several alternatives.

I was busy editing articles, so I didn't grab my guitar to check it. Work first.....
