Castlevania III "The Beginning" - Tabs, Backing Track & MIDI (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Here are the tabs, backing track, and MIDI file for my metal cover of THE BEGINNING from Castlevania III!

Rhythms:

Style - technical, sliding, alternate picking

Difficulty - 5/5

Our rhythms here are absolutely no joke! We went above and beyond with some super crazy riffs for this piece. The neoclassical vibes of this theme make it a ton of fun to do some really technical playing to match the epicness of the lead guitar parts as well. We'll be doing some sliding up and down the fretboard and some harmonized runs on a lot of these riffs. However, if you're a newer player, I think you can still have a blast with these parts if you take it super slowly at first and build up speed!

Leads:

Style - neoclassical, arpeggios

Difficulty - 5/5

Our leads here are definitely no joke as well! We're zipping all up and down the fret board for this one and incorporating a lot of arpeggios into these iconic Castlevania licks. However, despite the high difficulty, I think all skill levels will have a blast learning some of these riffs! The main verse melody is one of the easier parts for anyone who wants to dive right into this theme!

That's about it! I hope you have a blast learning some of these riffs and licks. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up on here or discord.

Rock on and enjoy!
