Acoustic VOiD / Tore Aune Fjellstad
Old Rooms

This short thing is the earliest guitar composition of mine that I can still remember how to play.

Original composition date unknown, although I'm pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken place before March 1992.

The opening cadence is an obvious rip-off of the Accept song "Breaking up Again" from the 1981 album Breaker, and the finger placement is taken directly from Beatles' "Blackbird". I probably played around trying to learn those songs and unwittingly stumbled across something new.

This version was played on a simple steel 6-string, tuned two steps down to D.
