Guitar Video — Intro to Majestic by Lincoln Brewster

This is my version of the intro to Majestic by Lincoln Brewster. This is very similar (although intentionally a bit different) than how he does the intro on his live version of this song. He doesn’t do the arpeggio’d chords at the very start…probably more like octaves..but I chose to arpeggio for more melody (Root-5th-Octave).

This is my first time to try and share a video such as this. I was a fun challenge to get the 2 audio tracks (original song + my playing) synced with the video. I think it came out good enough to make my point, but it’s not perfect by any means.

I made this video because I am playing this song in two days, and had to figure out what I wanted to play. I liked the intro Linc does on the live version, but I couldn’t find it tabbed out anywhere. I decided that once I figured it out, I would share it, in case it will be helpful for others.

Here is the tab for what I am playing in the video.  This is in the key of D, to match the original recording.
