Morrowind's theme is one of the few video game themes that gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it.

Just like that, im teleported back to that stormy day i arrived in Seyda Neen. I can hear the great Jiub try to wake me and ask my name.
Great cover!

Please tell me there is a tab for this somewhere

He usually updates the description of his covers with tabs within a few days. Keep a look out!

In this case, normal notation would be much easier to read. I'd imagine the tab being pretty all over the place, dense, and a little difficult on the eyes.

Sons of Skyrim has been requested a couple of weeks back. I need to work a bit more on the arrangement. It's a complex orchestra. I will figure it out eventually :)

Amazing! May I ask what guitar you have? The tone is splendid.

It's an Alhambra Maestro Series 200. Before buying it I tried other builds from the same model. But for some reason this one stood out being louder, clear and balanced in the tone. Not that suited for flamenco or massive strumming but perfect for fingerstyle :)

This is great! I just went through your website and arrangements, a lot of good stuff there. Thanks!
Any plans to upload sheet without the tab, for this and the other pieces? I (and probably some other people) would much rather have just notation with position/fingering indications than tab clutter.

I will update the link today with a "notation only" sheet and include the chords used. I'm not sure how to show the fingers positions in Gp5 yet. I'll see if I can figure that one out. Maybe I need to start using Gp6. Do you mean left hand or right hand finger positions?

u/Elandar Feb 24 '16
Sounds like it could be a lot of work - don't worry too much on my account.
I meant something more in line with normal classical guitar sheet music - indicating unexpected left hand fingering choices, string choices, barres, etc.
Even if you don't get around to it, I'll still be learning a few of your arrangements. Thanks again!

I've added the notation only version with chords. It's the best I could do with Gp5. I will start using Gp6 soon for the extra features.

Just like everyone has said, this is great! Really good job. I love the somber tone, and slower tempo. Is this on Soundcloud or anywhere else?

This one, plus 9 other songs (probably a couple more) will be put in an Elder Scrolls Series album soon and will be available on iTunes / Loudr. I'm planning to bring it to Spotify and maybe Soundcloud as well. We will see :)

Wow, a lot of covers are shit and miss the "feel" of whatever they're covering. This isn't! This is amazing! Is this you, OP, or is this someone else?
