Key changes have always been a challenge to arrange for fingerstyle guitar because key changes are a major factor in an arranger's choice of tuning and capo placement. When there's a key change that transposes the whole song a semitone up, a switch in capo position is sometimes made, usually through the help of a glider or clamp capo. In this song there are many key changes, and they're not the common "transpose one semitone up as the final chorus". The bassline is the bread and butter of this song, and I wanted to keep as much of it as possible. I found that using a spider capo and reversing two of it's pegs was a good way to make certain notes easier to access across the key changes. This change the capo on two G strings with one finger while not creating a gap in the performance. I struggled to get this arrangement to a presentable state. I thought about just giving up on this song multiple times through this past half year because I couldn't get it to a decent speed. But everytime I thought about that, I told myself that spending all that time 3D printing and painting the cosplay helmet would have gone to waste. At first I was struggling at 90 BPM, but was able to gradually build it up to 170 BPM until it was ready to record. I considered getting it up to 205 BPM but it was just not feasible with my current skill. Arranging it was so confusing I that I gaslit myself into believing there are multiple time signature changes in the verse and chorus (there aren't). I'm sorry about these mistakes. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐ The Cosplay The Chainsaw Man head's 3D-printable files are made and sold by 3Demon: https://3d-mon.com/3d-model/groupe/male3dprintmodel/chainsaw-man-denji/ The model is really well made and detailed, and fits well as long as you measure your head properly. For sizing accuracy, so I used a LiDAR scanner on my head, inputted measurements, then positioned the helmet's 3D model on top of my head's 3D model to find a good size before committing to the print. I wasn't able to see my hands while wearing the mask because there are gaps between the teeth to see through, but I couldn't tilt my head down far enough to see since the chainsaw would just block the camera's view of the fretboard. If you're making Denji's chainsaw man head for regular cosplay purposes, you won't have to worry about being unable to see. Go give 3Demon your support! Make sure to balance your print density settings too so the chainsaw isn't weighing down the rest of the head. A ski mask is worn to hide the inside of the helmet. The rest of the cosplay consists of a white shirt, black tie and black pants. </video> <video> Attack on Titan: Levi's Pain "Omake-Pfadlib" (Fingerstyle Guitar) Description: Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin): No Regrets OST - Levi's Pain "Omake Pfadlib" 🎵 Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com 🎧 Stream my music: https://robertchengtr.com/music Use code ROBERTCHEN to get 5% off any guitar: https://avianguitar.com/discount/ROBERTCHEN Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar cover by Robert Chen Guitar: Avian Songbird 5A 📗 GUITAR TABS / SHEET MUSIC ★ Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com ★ Guitardex: https://guitardex.com/?Omake-Pfadlib_16.14.17 ★ Tuning: D A D G B E 📙 SONG INFO ● Song: Omake-Pfadlib ● Anime: Attack on Titan: No Regrets (進撃の巨人 悔いなき選択) ● Original by Hiroyuki Sawano ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I've wanted to cover Omake-Pfadlib for so long. Finally got to doing it, and I underestimated how long it would take to arrange and practice this song. I'm very happy with the final product so it was more than worth it. Leave a like if you enjoyed, and comment what Attack on Titan song I should cover next! "Omake-Pfadlib" is an abbreviation of "Omake Pianoforte Ad Libitum" which translates to "Bonus Piano Improvisation". It's often called "Levi's Pain" by fans of the show due to the depressing scene in which it appears in. </video> <video> SPECIALZ - Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season OP 2 (Fingerstyle Guitar) Description: SPECIALZ - King Gnu - Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 OP 2 - Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar Cover 🎵 Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com 🎧 Stream my music: https://robertchengtr.com/music The guitar is Natasha Guitars JC43, use this link to get 10% off any guitar: https://natashaguitar.com/discount/ROBERTCHEN?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fguitars 📗 GUITAR TABS / SHEET MUSIC ★ Tab: https://mymusic.st/RobertChen/126145 ★ Guitardex: https://guitardex.com/?SPECIALZ_14.15.16.1.2.3.4.5.25 ★ Tuning: E A D G B E (Capo 2) 📙 SONG INFO ● Song: SPECIALZ ● Anime: Jujutsu Kaisen 2nd Season (呪術廻戦 第2期 懐玉・玉折／渋谷事変) ● Original by: King Gnu </video> <video> Tsukihime OP - Seimeisen (Fingerstyle Guitar) Description: Tsukihime Remake (月姫): A piece of blue glass moon OP - Seimeisen (生命線) "Lifeline" 🎵 Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com 🎧 Stream my music: https://robertchengtr.com/music Use code ROBERTCHEN to get 5% off any guitar: https://avianguitar.com/discount/ROBERTCHEN Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar cover by Robert Chen Guitar: Avian Songbird 5A 📗 GUITAR TABS / SHEET MUSIC ★ Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com ★ Guitardex: https://guitardex.com/?Seimeisen_16.7.8.1.2.3.4.5 ★ Tuning: D G D F# A D 📙 SONG INFO ● Song: Seimeisen (生命線) "Lifeline" ● Visual Novel: Tsukihime (月姫) -A piece of blue glass moon-, Tsukihime Remake ● Original by ReoNa ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Type-Moon saves 2021 with the announcement of the Tsukihime VN (along with Fate/Grand Carnival and Muramasa).

I hope you enjoy my cover. Akuma no Ko is a masterpiece of a ending song and I believe it is only fitting to put my all into making a guitar cover of it. Ai Higuchi is such a good singer and I implore you to check out her other songs: https://youtube.com/AiHiguchiOfficial This song is my hardest arrangement yet, harder than 86's ED "Avid", and it is a lot harder to play that it looks like in video. Most of the difficulty is in the verse and pre-chorus. Some of the chord shapes in the pre-chorus are truly horrendous but it had to be done to maintain faithfulness to the original. The reason Avid was hard was because the constantly shifting hand positions to play the harmonics and percussion. The reason Akuma no Ko is hard is because it's very tiring and very fast. Animenz's piano arrangement of this song came out in the middle of my arranging process so I may have taken some inspiration from it. I couldn't find a good English translation of the lyrics for the subtitles so I just took what was publicly available and made it more grammatically friendly, while staying true to the original lyrics that represents Eren's feelings. If I butchered the meaning of a line, please tell me in the comments. </video> <video> Mushoku Tensei OP: Tabibito no Uta (Acoustic Guitar) Description: This is my Fingerstyle Guitar Cover of the Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation OP - Tabibito no Uta "Traveler's Song" 🎵 Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com 🎧 Stream my music: https://robertchengtr.com/music Use code ROBERTCHEN to get 5% off any guitar: https://avianguitar.com/discount/ROBERTCHEN Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar cover by Robert Chen Guitar: Avian Songbird 5A 📗 GUITAR TABS / SHEET MUSIC ★ Tabs: https://robertchengtr.com ★ Guitardex: https://guitardex.com/?Tabibito-no-Uta_16.14.17.7.1.30.12 ★ Tuning: C G C G C F 📙 SONG INFO ● Song: Tabibito no Uta (旅人の唄) ● Anime: Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation / Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu (無職転生 ～異世界行ったら本気だす～) ● Original by Yuiko Ōhara ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Diary is the best character in this story. </video>
