    • @hadifelani
      @hadifelani Рік тому +14

      Technically it is still a cover nonetheless. What you described is literally the definition of a "rearrangement". And a "cover" can be played with or without any rearrangements in the song structure.

      @hadifelani Рік тому +7

      @@riccardoguidolin6085 You're welcome. Rearranging a song can be tricky though. It can be either easy or difficult. But usually what made it "difficult" is when the source has a different scale to the target arrangements. For example, changing a Major (Ionian) Scale song that usually brings out a happy vibe, into a Minor (Aeolian) scale that typically had a sad sound to it. Like this _Smells Like Teen Spirit_ by *Nirvana* that's turned into major -> ua-cam.com/video/dVehv_LDWaE/v-deo.html PS : It sounded like a disney song lmao. David Bennet Piano took this topic into a lesson -> ua-cam.com/video/Ytty5M1nLAE/v-deo.html
      Trying to mimick a certain musician are sometimes hard as well. Because you need to understand what makes said musician _unique_ to their songs. Like the tendency to pull out some lick that's originated from a completely different genre, or the base of their music progression. Like this _A Thousand Miles_ by *Vanessa Carlton* that's been played with the style of Blink182 -> ua-cam.com/video/8VUz5bmUVPw/v-deo.html&pp=ygULYWxleCBtZWx0b24%3D and this _Bad Blood_ by *Taylor Swift* that's been played with the style of Disturbed -> ua-cam.com/video/AxBTwMYkCBI/v-deo.html&pp=ygUZYW50aG9ueSB2aW5jZW50IGJhZCBibG9vZA%3D%3D
      Anthony Vincent, Alex Melton, Andy Rehfeldt, Nik Nocturnal, Charles Cornell, Halocene, Leo Moracchioli, Postmodern Jukebox, Scary Pockets, and Melodicka Brothers are a few examples of UA-cam musicians that has a good understanding of music theories and able to execute the rearrangements into various/multiple kinds of genres and/or mimicking other musician's uniqueness perfectly.

    "I walk a lonely road
    The only one that I have ever known
    Don't know where it goes
    But it's home to me, and I walk alone
    I walk this empty street
    On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk a-
    My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
    'Til then, I walk alone
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    I'm walking down the line
    That divides me somewhere in my mind
    On the borderline
    Of the edge, and where I walk alone
    Read between the lines
    What's fucked up, and everything's alright
    Check my vital signs
    To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk alone
    I walk alone, I walk a-
    My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
    'Til then, I walk alone
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, I walk alone, I walk a-
    I walk this empty street
    On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
    Where the city sleeps
    And I'm the only one, and I walk a-
    My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
    My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
    Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me

    “Promenade of Vanquish’d Dreams”
    I walkest hitherto
    Along the road forsaken ever bound
    Whitherto unknown
    Yet ’tis my abode to wander round
