I've checked and I can't see another artist who did this before them - educate me my dear
If anyone here has ever played the (now ancient) computer game Diablo, they would know the song called Tristram.
It was arranged for two acoustic guitars and pan flute. A master guitarist on Youtube has recently managed to play the entire piece on a single guitar
using reverb.
To me, this composition goes through nearly every emotion. In my opinion, it is the greatest piece written in the modern age, but is sadly not known
by many people without a background in gaming.
Listen to him play this piece, close your eyes, and drift away.
I've got to include some Andy McKee too. He is an amazing guitar prodigy, who not only plays near-impossible guitar, but taps out his own backing
percussion at the same time.
Here's one by Alanis Morisette - Head Over Feet (I like quite a lot of her songs). Its not the original video, it is the youtubers own, thought it
was cute though
