Wanted to figure out how to play some Nightingale songs and I believe Dan said that he used a special tuning for Nightingale?!? Anyone could tell me what this was maybe?!? Dan?!? Any help is appreciated.
Nightingale tuning?!?
- Thread starter Leper_/-\ffinity

Most song are played in a "e-flat" tuning. On some songs, like Atlantis or Raincheck, the e string (e-flat) ís dropped to D-flat. :Spin:
Really?!? What string is Nightfall Overture's main riff played on?!? I have the melodies but I can't seem to find the open note Dan plays in between the melody. Anyway, thanks for giving some idea.

On the two first albums every song is played in DADADE (dark to light)
Here's the nightfall overture lick for ya:
Fig 1
D ------------------------------
A --5 0---7 0---- 8 0 ---7 0-- 5..
D 0-----0----- 0 -----0 ----0----
Fig 2
D --7 0---- 8 0 -----10 0 ----8 0 --7..
A ----------------------------------
D 0----- 0 ------0 --------0---- 0--
Repeat Fig 1
Fig 1
D-----------------------------5...
A --3 0---3 0---- 3 0 ---3 0-----
D 0-----0----- 0 -----0 ----0---
Now, on a Nightingale tuned guitar you have two possible Octaves for doing this (so many D and A strings
) While on a normal guitar you could do the low-octave if you use drop-d tuning. I think Swanö does the low-octave live, while the one on TBS is the high version.

This is so cool, would anyone be interested in programming (or recording) drums and piano for this song if I did the bass, guitar and vocals?!? I'd really love to make a cover of this, it is truly my favortie Nightingale song in many ways along with Gypsy Eyes, Into The Light and many others of course lol.

Hey, tell me what song exactly you want and i can make some work for you if ill have time. Certainly i can program drums for you, and i can try to do my best with pianoLeper_/-\ffinity said:
Cool man, Id love to do Nightfall Overture cover in collaboration with you, I think it would come out really cool!!! Would be really great if you could, and if you can't do piano, maybe we can ask Unicorn to do piano part, since I know he is very talented (great fucking Gypsy Eyes cover).

Would be cool to hear. Tons of melodies to ear-grab in that song though!!Leper_/-\ffinity said:
Yeah, I wouldn't guarantee a spot on cover, but it would still be a fun thing to do even if it came out missing a few melodies.
Jabarkas, any chance you could make those drums for me when you have some free time?!?

thanks. Hey guys, can't I do the vocals instead? Or maybe Dan has the midi files somewhere around? though it was '95, I don't know if he had the computer recording thing going on.Leper_/-\ffinity said:

I want to try doing the vocals on this, since I have more of a bassy voice suited for a song like this, but if you guys don't like it, I'd love for you to sing on it Unicorn, I know you have a great voice!!
And Jabarkas, thanks for helping out, I dropped you an email, don't know if you'll get it though.

You're right, you should try it when your voice is setteld in the bariton bass sector. Mine is pretty high. Give it a try!
Shit, it looks like that I have to do the keyboard work, eh? I try it when you give me the song so far you have your stuff recorded.
Ok, thank you so much for helping out Unicorn, I appreciate it much!! Ill probably start trying to figure out all of the guitar riffs, and the bass progressions, and then when Jabarkas has the drums done I will go ahead and record everything I have and will send it to you.
